Chapter 1117: Crushing Eight Emperor Realm Experts
Mo Xiaoyun’s words made Ai Patriarch take the initiative to be defensive, and Zhao Yi’s subsequent words undoubtedly shook his heart, making him hesitant.
The hidden family is indeed very proud, aloof, but Liu Zixuan and the others, ever since the battle of the Willow Association, have completely made a name for themselves in the Star Sea. In terms of reputation, they surpass the hidden family, and in terms of power, although they haven’t formally compared, it can’t be easily ignored.
However, as the patriarch of a hidden family, his mind would naturally be more calculating than others. He believed that Zhao Yi, Gu Yu, and Mo Chengfeng were just people sent by Lingxiu Village to handle matters. As long as Liu Zixuan didn’t come personally, things would still be easy.
Thinking of this, the disdain on Ai Patriarch’s face became more intense, and he sneered: "I’ll have to see what kind of storm you can stir up in my Ai Family!"
With that, he waved his hand broadly and shouted to the steward Yu: "Let them act!"
The steward Yu nodded and stood aside, while seven or eight masters from the Ai Family directly charged at Zhao Yi and his group.
Zhao Yi’s eyes scanned the seven or eight masters, and he raised an eyebrow: "A hidden family is indeed a hidden family, sending eight Acquired Emperor Realm experts at once. It seems they really think highly of us!"
"These people are enough to send you to your graves!" Ai Patriarch sat down leisurely, adopting a bystander’s attitude.
Zhao Yi smiled at Mo Chengfeng: "Stand aside with them, so you don’t get splattered with blood."
"Alright!"
The brothers understood each other extremely well. Since Zhao Yi hadn’t asked for help, everything was still under control.
Supporting Mo Xiaoyun and Ai Zexin, they stood aside, while Gu Yu used the Star Constellation Scripture to protect them.
The Celestial Spirit Saber Intent emitted low vibrations, suddenly trembled, and a strong wind transformed into an attack, sweeping towards the surrounding Acquired Emperor Realm experts.
The eight Acquired Emperor Realm experts leaped into the air, easily dodging the strike with their unique body technique, and brandished their weapons against Zhao Yi.
In simple terms of realm, the Innate Emperor Realm could crush Acquired Emperor Realm experts, even if there is a large numerical disparity.
Yet, Ai Patriarch wasn’t afraid and remained as steady as Mount Tai because these eight experts were all top guards of the family. Although they hadn’t reached the Innate Emperor Realm, their combat experience and familiarity with cultivation techniques and each other had reached the peak, giving him full confidence in defeating Zhao Yi.
Besides, in his eyes, Zhao Yi’s youth likely meant he had just barely entered the Innate Emperor Realm due to extraordinary talent, and was certainly no match for his guards!
The eight Acquired Emperor Realm experts charged forward, their weapons clashing with the Celestial Spirit Saber, causing sparks to fly, and a piercing sound to echo in the hall.
Zhao Yi’s expression turned somewhat serious; he could tell these eight were not as simple as they appeared.
The eight worked seamlessly together, four attacking, four defending, giving Zhao Yi no breathing room and few opportunities to counterattack.
In the brief moment Zhao Yi shifted his attack direction, the eight experts simultaneously assaulted from four directions, from above and below, leaving no dead angles for Zhao Yi to escape. Undoubtedly, this was the kill move intended to eliminate Zhao Yi with one hit!
Seeing this, Ai Zexin and Mo Xiaoyun clenched their fists, their faces full of worry.
"Can this young guy really handle it?" Mo Xiaoyun asked in a low voice.
Mo Chengfeng’s lips twitched a few times: "Old Zhao has been following Brother Xuan the longest, and his cultivation technique is also extremely domineering. With the advantage of his realm, he should be fine!"
"But these eight aren’t even considered the upper-tier power in Ai Family, and it’s already this difficult. What about what’s coming next..."
At this point, Ai Zexin paused, clearly worrying for Zhao Yi and others, worried about the outcome of the whole matter today.
Having Zhao Yi alone facing a hidden family!
The courage was indeed admirable, but the reality was extremely daunting.
Seeing the change in their expressions, Ai Patriarch’s face showed even more satisfaction.
Completely offending Lingxiu Village was indeed troublesome, but the chaotic situation now led him to believe that even if Liu Zixuan knew these people died, he wouldn’t dare do anything to their hidden family!
So, such people, just kill them!
At the moment when everyone harbored their own thoughts, the attacks from the eight Acquired Emperor Realm experts reached Zhao Yi.
Seeing eight blades aiming to pierce through his vital points, a shocking scene followed.
Zhao Yi did not raise his saber to block but instead suddenly plunged the Celestial Spirit Saber vertically into the ground. Suddenly, a mist appeared around his arm, growing denser until it enveloped him.
With a loud shout, the Celestial Spirit Saber stuck in the ground released a clanging sound, and the forceful wind swept up the mist to envelop the eight Emperor Realm experts.
"Condense!"
Zhao Yi shouted, and the mist instantly solidified, forming a substance that seemed like thin ice yet clear water, trapping the eight Emperor Realm experts within.
"Is this... the Power of Water from the Five Elements?" Ai Patriarch’s face of pride instantly changed to disbelief.
He knew that Innate Emperor Realm experts had to comprehend the Power of the Five Elements, but it was rare for an Emperor Realm expert to manifest the Five Elements into tangible attacks, and even further, to transform it into their Emperor’s Domain!
How could this be?
Zhao Yi, noticing his shock, slightly curled his lips and teased, "The true surprise is still to come!"
"Die!"
With another loud shout.
The eight experts, encased in thin ice, froze entirely from foot to head, ultimately shattering into pieces, leaving only a puddle of water on the ground.
Indeed, this was Zhao Yi’s Emperor’s Domain.
But it was an Emperor’s Domain that could not be imitated by others.
Because the arm emitting the mist was once severed, then regrown with Vitality Water, meaning the entire arm was formed by the Power of Water from the Five Elements.
Therefore, naturally, he could unleash an Emperor’s Domain with water power!
Though the eight Emperor Realm experts were strong, they were still Acquired, forever crushed in the face of the Innate Emperor Realm!
At this moment, both Ai Patriarch and Steward Yu’s expressions drastically changed, while Mo Xiaoyun and the others showed a hint of surprise.
Of course, they were also shocked, as they never imagined Cheng Feng’s nephew’s friend to be this strong!
Simultaneously, a subtle excitement grew about what terrifying level that Brother Xuan, Liu Zixuan, might have reached?
"Ai Patriarch, do you still believe we are unworthy of a conversation with you?" Zhao Yi mocked.
