Chapter 324: Chapter 324
So the expert became more serious and struck even more fiercely...
"Raging Sea Washing Waves."
Another killing move that sealed all of Xiaoyao's escape routes. Of course, this was his and others' view—in fact, it wasn't so. Xiaoyao could have at least ten ways to dodge, and what he chose was the most relaxed and safest method.
"This is impossible. How can you avoid my attacks? Impossible."
The expert was getting somewhat frantic and continued using his Sea Wave Palm technique, unleashing all those killing moves. To that degree, he felt even peak General Level people would struggle greatly. He had once fought against a peak General Level martial artist—his Sea Wave Palm technique could make the opponent suffer small losses.
The Sea Wave Palm technique was an extremely sophisticated palm method. This expert had obtained it through some fortuitous encounter—it was his important ultimate move that had always worked flawlessly before. But the current situation gave him a sense of powerlessness. His ultimate move actually had no effect.
"Impossible, this is impossible... I must kill you." The expert's veins bulged, his fierce face seeming somewhat distorted. This was because he couldn't accept this fact—he actually couldn't handle someone two realms lower than himself, and not even small realms.
The expert ultimately still didn't touch Xiaoyao—didn't even touch his clothes. This situation surprised everyone. In their feeling, Xiaoyao should have been doomed to die. They hadn't expected the current situation to be so unexpected—not only did he not die, but he was also toying with his opponent.
This was still the view of those who didn't understand—they were just watching the excitement. But those who understood were different. What they felt wasn't surprise but deep shock, crying out in their hearts how this was possible, this was impossible...
Xiaoyao's performance had already made them feel their cognition had problems. Things they previously thought impossible now seemed capable of happening.
"I'm going to kill you."
The expert roared angrily and desperately unleashed a move called "Boundless Ocean"—a wide-range attack that was also very qi-consuming. Unless absolutely necessary, the expert wouldn't use it. But at this moment he had lost his reason and didn't care about anything—he used whatever he could think of.
This wide-range attack, if allowed to continue, even if Xiaoyao could dodge, would definitely affect those civilians behind him. This wasn't what Xiaoyao wanted to see.
So Xiaoyao made his move—no longer just dodging.
Everyone heard a very strange sound. Then they saw the expert who had been making his move suddenly stop. The person stopped, and the technique stopped too—everything seemed to become still.
This static scene gave people an eerie feeling. Everyone quietly stared at that expert, quietly, without making any sound. They saw the expert had no movement—after a while, there was still none.
What exactly was this situation? Everyone felt confused. This situation had already exceeded their understanding.
Xiaoyao had just been standing there the whole time, not approaching the expert. If it was Xiaoyao who made the move, it seemed somewhat absurd. But if it wasn't him, then who could it be? No one could figure this out.
Soon, everyone discovered something—that expert's body seemed to begin flowing with a blood-red liquid, dripping bit by bit onto the ground, slowly forming a pool that looked like bloodstains.
This indeed looked like bloodstains, but they didn't believe it was blood, because if so, how could they explain why this expert suddenly started bleeding?
The expert's originally motionless body fell down, because this body no longer had the strength to support itself.
When a Cao family member flashed over to check the situation, he let out a cry of alarm. This situation left him not knowing what to do besides crying out in alarm.
"Dead? How is that possible? He was a late General Level expert—how could he die, and die so inexplicably?" The Cao family young master shook his head, shouting loudly in disbelief, as if wanting to use his voice to express his disbelief.
Yes, how was this possible? This matter was really too inexplicable.
No matter who it was, they all agreed with this Cao family young master's statement. This matter left them unable to understand—they completely couldn't comprehend what exactly had happened.
"How did he die?" The Cao family young master asked. However, this question wasn't directed at the person checking the expert, but at Xiaoyao. Although this matter was incomprehensible, everyone could be certain it definitely had something to do with Xiaoyao.
At the same time, everyone now also remembered that sound just now—that strange noise. Everyone could think that this expert's sudden death must be related to that sound.
"I killed him." Xiaoyao answered. Although this answer let everyone confirm this matter, it didn't seem to explain any problems.
"How did you kill him? What exactly did you use?" The Cao family young master was somewhat nervous and even more afraid. Everyone would have fear toward unknown things. Xiaoyao's method of killing that expert was an unknown quantity, making everyone fear this method would descend upon themselves.
"Just a type of hidden weapon. If he hadn't had so many flaws, it shouldn't have been so easy to hit his vital point." Xiaoyao replied indifferently. Hidden weapon—what hidden weapon? He didn't say, so it remained an unknown quantity.
However, his words were absolutely true facts. Xiaoyao knew hidden weapons—this was one of his self-preservation methods. When weaker than others in strength, the best method was to find others' weaknesses and deliver fatal strikes. How to deliver strikes—hidden weapons were a very good method.
Although hidden weapon techniques were varied and difficult to master, for Xiaoyao this wasn't much. Also, his time practicing hidden weapons wasn't recent—he had started very early, practicing for over ten years. One could imagine how strong his skill level was.
At the same time, what he knew almost encompassed all types of hidden weapons and techniques, plus some mechanical arts and poisons. The destructive power he could unleash was something ordinary people—no, even experts in this field—could hardly imagine.
However, he had never displayed this before outsiders—this was the first time. This wasn't because he deliberately concealed it, but because it was never needed. When needed, he would use it without hesitation, just like the current situation.
However, hidden weapons weren't invincible either. The stronger a person's strength, the stronger their protective qi. For Emperor Level and above people, Xiaoyao's current strength couldn't cause them harm. Even if flaws were exposed, there was no way, because protective qi was basically a "passive skill."
For those below Emperor Level but much stronger than Xiaoyao, it was possible to cause damage. The stronger the strength, the lower the probability. If flaws were exposed, the probability would be higher.
Very unluckily, this expert before him was only two levels higher than Xiaoyao. As long as Xiaoyao grasped the flaws, he could damage him, even achieve instant kills like just now.
This expert was also unlucky—Xiaoyao happened to have read this manual too, meaning he already mastered the variations of this move and could easily discover some loopholes.
Just now, that expert was somewhat flustered and exasperated, so there were even more flaws in his techniques. It would have been difficult for Xiaoyao not to see through his techniques.
"Attacking with hidden arrows—you're no hero." The Cao family young master said.
"I attacked head-on—where was the hidden arrow attack? Young Master Cao, you can't speak nonsense with your eyes open. Also, don't you think the current situation is very unfavorable for you?" Xiaoyao smiled, looking at that Cao family young master.
"How dare you do anything to me? I'm telling you, I'm the young master of the Cao family. Offending our Cao family will make you unable to bear the consequences." Although the Cao family young master rationally felt he should be afraid, emotionally he had never feared anyone, because he felt others should be the ones afraid.
Obviously, the Cao family young master's emotions outweighed his reason. Therefore, what he chose was to continue being arrogant and continue threatening Xiaoyao. For more chapters visıt novel⁂fire.net
"Didn't I already offend you? Can you change to some more interesting lines? These lines sound very boring." Xiaoyao said somewhat helplessly. "You courting-death dandy young masters are all the same."
Xiaoyao's words immediately made the already quiet scene become even more silent. Everyone felt this situation seemed somewhat unreal. In their eyes, the Cao family should be the highest existence, but now they were being trampled underfoot by Xiaoyao.
Although Xiaoyao hadn't actually trampled them—just stated a fact—this fact made people feel he was trampling on them.
"If you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish." The Cao family young master said coldly and angrily.
Xiaoyao smiled and said very mockingly, "You seem to be saying you're someone who courts death. Can't you even distinguish the current situation? Who among your subordinates can still move? Don't tell me you're hiding your abilities and are actually a peerless expert?"
The Cao family young master was mocked. There really was no one around him who could deal with Xiaoyao anymore. Even that late General Level martial artist was already done for—who else could he send? As for whether he himself was hiding abilities, this was obviously not the case.
All along, the Cao family young master's thinking had been: since I have experts around me, why should I work so hard to cultivate? Anyway, I wouldn't be better than others even if I practiced. Rather than waste this time, it's better to be carefree and unrestrained every day, not needing to think about anything—someone will handle things for me.
This kind of thinking was very common among many dandy young masters.
Now, this dandy Cao family young master also had to think about the current situation. It seemed he already couldn't do anything to the other party, so he could only go get reinforcements first, then deal with him.
At this moment, this was what he was thinking—just thinking about calling people. If this group didn't work, he'd change to another group. He didn't believe he still couldn't handle this kid.
So he said arrogantly to Xiaoyao, "You just wait for me—I'll definitely make you pay."
