“What is he trying to do?”
The four alien Dao Sovereign realm cultivators watched as Mo Tianxiao stepped forward alone, showing no intention of submitting or handing over his money. They were immediately baffled.
He was merely an early-stage Dao Sovereign cultivator who had just ascended. Even if he came from a top-tier lower realm, there was still a considerable gap between him and them—at the very least, in terms of mastery over laws and equipment, he surely could not compare to them.
Under such circumstances, was he really planning to resist?
“He says he wants to challenge the four seniors by himself. This human really doesn’t seem to hold any of you seniors in high regard.”
The alien who resembled a kappa pulled his son back two steps, retreating behind the four alien Dao Sovereign cultivators.
“Hmph. Human, we recognize that your cultivation has not come easily and had no desire to take your life. Yet you are so utterly incapable of recognizing your own limits.”
The four aliens snorted coldly, each producing a supreme treasure. Their gazes remained fixed on Mo Tianxiao.
“Since you insist on courting death, don’t blame us for being merciless.”
“Why waste words on him? He’s just a human—kill him and be done with it. We’re all at the early stage of the Dao Sovereign realm. Does he really think he can fight four of us alone?”
As he spoke, one of the aliens, whose head had no discernible features, vanished with a swish. The next instant, he appeared before Mo Tianxiao. His speed was so extreme that it was nearly teleportation; even divine sense could not track his movements.
Of course, that was only true for cultivators of the same realm. To Mo Tianxiao, who had reached the peak of the Dao Sovereign realm, the other’s movements were no different from a turtle’s.
“The Law of Extreme Speed?”
Mo Tianxiao muttered to himself as a longsword tore through space.
*Clang!*
The sword thrust out, locking directly onto the alien’s body. In the blink of an eye, one of the alien’s arms was sent flying. The Sword Dao Law clinging to the blade corroded the severed arm, preventing it from regenerating for the time being.
With his arm cut off, the alien hurriedly retreated, a trace of astonishment appearing in his eyes.
“He actually has a supreme treasure! And when did he...?”
None of the four aliens had noticed when that sword had appeared.
“A mere flying sword at the level of an ordinary supreme treasure, and a flying vessel that looks extraordinary as well. This human is truly wealthy.”
“What a pity we cannot enter those top-tier lower realms. Otherwise, I would love to strip every last resource from them!”
“Enough nonsense. This brat cultivates the Sword Dao Law, and his combat strength is formidable. Attack together!” said the alien whose arm had been severed, his tone calm.
Yet in the very next moment, the four aliens froze in place, staring at Mo Tianxiao in disbelief.
Mo Tianxiao casually raised an arm, and one ordinary supreme treasure-grade flying sword after another appeared around him, each carrying the aura of the Sword Dao Law.
A total of twelve ordinary supreme treasure-grade flying swords were aimed at the four early-stage Dao Sovereign aliens, instantly making their scalps tingle.
“Th-These are all supreme treasures!?”
How could someone who had ascended from a lower realm produce so many supreme treasures at once?
They had remained at the early stage of the Dao Sovereign realm for more than ten thousand years, yet each of them had only managed to acquire two or three barely passable ordinary supreme treasures.
They never would have imagined that Mo Tianxiao was a genuine emperor-tier artifact refiner. If not for the limited resources of the Xuanhuang Realm—and the fact that his cultivation had previously been insufficient—he would have refined several top-grade supreme treasures just for fun.
“If we kill him, all these supreme treasures will be ours...”
The four aliens were not the least bit flustered. In fact, the sheer number of supreme treasures only made them more excited. No matter how many treasures their opponent possessed, he was still merely an early-stage Dao Dominion cultivator. Could he really control so many supreme treasures?
“What truly greedy fellows...”
Seeing that the four men showed no sign of regret, Mo Tianxiao was left speechless. They said human nature was greedy, but it seemed the aliens were no different.
His gaze shifted toward the distant void, where he sensed the auras concealed within it. The corners of Mo Tianxiao’s lips curved upward slightly.
“You brought this death upon yourselves, so don’t blame me for being ruthless. I may be human, but I have never looked down on other races. Unfortunately, the aliens don’t seem to feel the same way.”
“Enough nonsense! You insignificant human—hand over the treasures!”
The four aliens roared and attacked Mo Tianxiao at the same time. Two of them cultivated the Law of Extreme Speed, while the other two cultivated the Laws of Fire and Water—ordinary laws, to be sure.
“Senior, be careful!”
Holding Tang Shuang in his arms, Tang Jin retreated into the cabin. He relied on the defensive formation aboard the flying ship to withstand the pressure of the Dao Dominion experts, his eyes fixed anxiously on Mo Tianxiao as he shouted a warning.
Their lives now depended entirely on Senior.
Mo Tianxiao remained calm. With a thought, the twelve supreme treasure flying swords around him let out a sharp cry and transformed into a sword formation, enveloping the four alien Dao Dominion cultivators as well as the two bald kappa—a large one and a small one.
“I’ve never seen anyone rush to their deaths like this before.”
After muttering a remark, Mo Tianxiao said softly, “Annihilation Sword Formation—Myriad Sword Net!”
The sword formation instantly took shape, seamlessly followed by the Myriad Sword Net. In the next moment, the twelve supreme treasure flying swords transformed into countless streams of sword light, densely covering all six aliens and devouring them.
“This is bad! Retreat!”
The large and small kappa failed to hold out for even a second. They were torn to pieces before they could even let out a scream, their souls completely annihilated.
The four Dao Dominion aliens, however, realized that something was terribly wrong. Only after sensing the incomparably dense sword laws did they understand that their opponent might not be an early-stage Dao Dominion cultivator at all!
“You...”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before the speaker could finish, the four bodies exploded into clouds of mist. The instant their Dao Dominion souls emerged, they attempted to flee. Yet just as the thought arose, a terrifying suction force pulled all four souls into the Human Sovereign Banner.
After casually collecting the spoils of war, Mo Tianxiao held the Human Sovereign Banner and looked at it with some curiosity.
“Can it absorb them even if they’re a different species? It won’t get an upset stomach, will it?”
“Forget it. Elder Yun, distribute these aliens among the brothers. They should help improve the brothers’ strength.”
The souls inside the Human Sovereign Banner were all his brothers. As their big brother, he ought to treat them well, so he decided to give the souls of these aliens to them as an extra meal.
With a big brother like that, the souls within the Human Sovereign Banner naturally celebrated with delight. They shouted that their big brother was mighty, then eagerly savored the alien souls.
“Little Shuang, you can open your eyes now. The enemies have already been driven off.”
Mo Tianxiao’s voice rang out. Tang Shuang slowly lowered the hands covering her eyes and looked around at the empty surroundings, instantly breaking into a radiant smile.
“Uncle Li is amazing! You really drove the bad guys away!”
“Gulp.”
Tang Jin’s face was still somewhat stiff. He had no idea what words—or what sort of feelings—he should use to process what had just happened.
Was this really just driving the enemies away? Four experts at the Dao Master Realm had been pinned to the ground and utterly crushed, their souls annihilated and not even a corpse left behind!
Was this damn man really a cultivator who had just ascended from a lower plane?
“P-Previously, I had no idea Senior was so powerful. I even thought about having Senior escape earlier. I truly was blind and ignorant…”
The existence of Mo Tianxiao had already surpassed the limits of Tang Jin’s understanding. Who could have imagined that a cultivator who had just ascended from a lower plane would not only be wealthy and powerful, but also possess countless times more treasures than the local Dao Master Realm cultivators?
“It’s only human nature. There’s no need to blame yourself.”
Mo Tianxiao waved his hand casually. Then he turned his gaze toward the distant void and called out in a clear voice, “Since you’re already here, Fellow Daoist, why not come out and have a chat?”
