Chapter 1541: It's Good To Have Father Around

Xiang Shaoyun had held back from using his soul clone because he wanted to use the battle to pressure himself into breaking through. Both his body and soul had long grown beyond his actual cultivation level. Thus, so long as he had enough energy, he would be able to break through without encountering any bottlenecks. That was a big advantage he held over many other cultivators.

His soul started glowing, and a layer of nine-colored radiance covered his body. His wounds started closing up while his aura surged, creating a storm around him. When Zi Ming sensed Xiang Shaoyun's breakthrough, he frowned with a sinister look in his eyes as he thought, This kid is too strong. If he's allowed to grow, he will definitely become the young master's formidable enemy. Even if I can't kill him, I need to seriously injure him and stop his breakthrough.

He formed a hand seal and unleashed a large amount of lightning energy that formed a lightning snake. The snake emanated an extremely destructive aura, its very presence seemingly capable of shaking the world.

Lightning Snake Seal!

The 10,000-meter-long snake formed from the domineering crimson flame lightning tore through the air as it advanced. It caused space to collapse and destroyed all the resulting spatial currents. Zi Ming made it very clear that he was attacking to kill.

Xiang Shaoyun could sense the incoming attack. He had not expected his opponent to push the conflict so far. He had to stop the attack, or his breakthrough would be interrupted. Not only would he fail his breakthrough, but he might even suffer a backlash that would shake his foundations.

Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to release the Devil Gods in his astral cosmos sea, a lightning figure dashed over and swallowed the entirety of the lightning snake.

"You dare harm my son? You must be tired of living!" Xiang Yangzhan roared as he attacked mercilessly.

Boom!

Before Zi Ming could react, his body was smashed into pulp. He was so badly injured that a random attack could completely end his life right now.

Just as Xiang Yangzhan was about to erase Zi Ming's soul, Xiang Shaoyun said, "Father, he's someone from the Guardians Guild. Spare his life for now."

However, Xiang Yangzhan ignored the warning and pounced on Zi Ming's soul, aiming to completely erase it.

Finally, someone came out of the Guardians Guild's encampment and stood before Xiang Yangzhan, saying, "Stay your hand!"

A total of three Gods had come out from the encampment. They were all the experts stationed at the encampment to watch over the Devil Domain's entrance.

Xiang Yangzhan raised his brow and also ignored this newcomer. With a flicker, he moved past the God before him, flicked his fingers, and sent a bolt of lightning shooting toward Zi Ming's soul.

Boom!

Before Zi Ming had the chance to reform his body, his soul was destroyed.

"Bastard!" The Guardians Guild's Gods were furious.

The person who tried to stop Xiang Yangzhan questioned furiously, "Who are you? You dare kill a member of the Guardians Guild?"

The Guardians Guild was an organization endorsed by everyone in the dominion. Apart from the three superpowers, no other organization would dare to make an enemy out of them. Thus, they naturally found it unacceptable when a completely random person openly provoked them.

"I, Xiang Yangzhan, will not spare anyone who dares to harm my son, whoever he is!" replied Xiang Yangzhan overbearingly.

Xiang Shaoyun felt a warmth envelop his heart. He thought, It's good to have Father around.

He circulated his energy more quickly, trying to force his way into the fifth stage.

"Xiang Yangzhan?" the Guardians Guild members looked confused. Evidently, they had never heard of a God by that name.

"Xiang Yangzhan! For killing one of us, you shall be punished. Even the organization behind you will not be spared," said the leader of the three Gods.

His name was Zhou Zhengke, a third-stage Rebirth Realm expert. The other two were respectively called Mo Yuan and Lan Zhenke. Both were first-stage Rebirth Realm experts.

"Everyone in the dominion knows of the Guardians Guild, but I won't show any mercy if you dare lay your hands on my son. Feel free to try me," said Xiang Yangzhan with his chest raised high.

"Fine. Looks like it's pointless to continue this conversation," said Zhou Zhengke as he prepared to attack.

That moment, Xiang Shaoyun finished breaking through to the fifth stage. A vast amount of astral energy converged around him before entering his body. Nine-colored energy also started raining upon him from the sky, forming a dazzling sight that astonished everyone in the area.

"Lords from the Guardians Guild, this entire incident was started by your side," said Xiang Shaoyun while absorbing the energy around him. "Out of kindness, I came with information about the devils. In response, your people tried to kill me. Is this still the strict and impartial Guardians Guild that we know of?"

"Who are you? How dare you question the Guardians Guild?" said Mo Yuan.

Lan Zhenke said, "A cultivator of nine powers. He can only be Deputy Guild Master Ge Yi's personal disciple, Xiang Shaoyun."

"You're Xiang Shaoyun?" asked Mo Yuan in astonishment.

"Why did our people try to kill you for no reason?" asked Zhou Zhengke.

"You'll have to ask him that," said Xiang Shaoyun as he pointed to Zi Xinghe.

Everyone looked at Zi Xinghe.

Even with so many people looking at him, Zi Xinghe showed no fear. He soared into the sky and said, "I never tried to kill you. You tried to intrude upon our encampment, which was why I tried to stop you. However, you reacted by attacking me. Even Zi Ming was killed. Both you and your father deserve death."

Xiang Shaoyun looked straight at Zi Xinghe and berated, "You never tried to kill me? I was only here to meet a God from the guild with information about the devils. The information is extremely important, but instead of passing on the message for me, you provoked me and attacked me. Are you not going to own up to what you did?"

As he spoke, he finished absorbing energy and completed his breakthrough. His breakthrough strengthened his body, and his aura surged. With his newly gained strength, his mere gaze caused Zi Xinghe to take a step back in fear.
