Chapter 571: Chapter 271: Decisive Annihilation! A Worthy Opponent! (10400 words)_1

A beam of white light burst through the clouds.

It shone with a brilliant luster, like polished white jade and luminous glass. Its momentum was overpowering, like a tidal wave capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas. It bore down on Yi Xing with the brute force of a great mountain.

Yi Xing’s pupils contracted. He fell back repeatedly, turning mid-motion to loose an arrow.

DING!

The arrow struck the white light with a crisp clang of metal, but it was instantly deflected. A shower of sparks flew, but the light’s momentum was unhindered.

Without hesitation, Yi Xing drew his bow to its fullest and fired three arrows in quick succession.

Each arrow transformed into the phantom of a True Dragon, piercing the sky and colliding with the white light.

The first two were deflected.

Only the third arrow finally managed to halt the white light, slowing its advance.

BANG!

The white light crashed to the ground with a heavy thud, kicking up a cloud of dust. Only then did the crowd see it clearly: a coffin made entirely of white jade, so dazzling under the sunlight it was almost blinding!

Yi Xing frowned, gazing at the coffin with a grave expression. "Who’s putting on this mysterious act?"

He tightened his grip on his bow. The danger just now had been very real, and his heart was still pounding. He also noticed that the moment the coffin appeared, the expressions of the young prodigies from the Cangyuan Realm instantly turned to delight, as if the person in the coffin could hold up the sky for them.

CRACK!

The coffin lid slid aside. Dazzling rays of light, thick with the essence of life, erupted from within, causing the surrounding vegetation to grow with wild abandon. Even the fledglings passing overhead seemed to grow larger in an instant. Wildflowers blanketed the distant cliffs.

A young man with white hair and white robes stood up from the White Jade Coffin, his skin as smooth as jade.

In that moment, heaven and earth seemed to lose their color.

All fell silent. The gasps of the young disciples below, the discussions among the Proud Children of the Nine Heavens above—everything ceased abruptly.

"He’s so beautiful!" a girl high above exclaimed in astonishment, her eyes shining like stars.

People do not often use the word "beautiful" to describe a man. But at this moment, no one disagreed. Deep in their hearts, everyone felt the scene was one of breathtaking beauty.

Sunlight fell upon the youth’s white hair, illuminating his jade-like skin and frame. With hands clasped behind his back, he stepped out of the White Jade Coffin. The world bloomed around him with the vibrancy of spring. With every step, lotuses bloomed, and he radiated a boundless brilliance. A sudden wind gusted, and all the plants seemed to bow before the young man. The sight was absolutely exquisite.

A young man said sourly, "What’s the use of good looks? He looks like a sickly person!"

"A sickly person," the gentle woman known as Senior Sister Zhao said slowly while staring at Wang Xiu, "could never have left Yi Xing in such a sorry state."

Yi Xing’s strength was unquestionable. He had suppressed his Realm to match the other prodigies, rendering him nearly invincible. Ultimately, he went back on his word and used a power he shouldn’t have in order to defeat Li Xuanqi. However, this only proved that Li Xuanqi’s talent surpassed his own; it did not mean Yi Xing was weak.

At full power, Yi Xing was absolutely terrifying. The reputation of the Yi Clan was not built on hot air.

However, Senior Sister Zhao had seen it clearly. The several arrows Yi Xing had just shot at the White Jade Coffin were fired without suppressing his Cultivation Level. They were powerful enough to easily kill most of the people present. Yet, even with several such arrows, he had barely managed to stop the coffin and had nearly been struck himself.

The panic in Yi Xing’s eyes at that moment had been real.

"Senior Brother! You’re awake?"

"Wang Xiu!"

"The Saint Heir has awakened! The Saint Heir has awakened!"

After a brief silence, the many young people present surged forward excitedly, their eyes filled with joy as they swarmed around Wang Xiu.

Snow Ancestor, Zhuo Canglang, and the others were also stunned, finding this very unexpected. According to their calculations, Wang Xiu would need at least several hundred years to wake up. Now, it had barely been over a year.

Luo Binglan stepped forward and asked, "What’s going on?"

Wang Xiu replied with a light laugh, "I was lucky. I had a new insight into the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture, so I woke up ahead of schedule."

Luo Binglan’s beautiful eyes widened in astonishment. My disciple’s talent is truly monstrous! To think he could deepen his understanding of an Imperial Scripture to a new level while so weak...

She was still somewhat concerned and asked, "Your injuries?"

Wang Xiu smiled, his gaze unintentionally sweeping over the figures observing the fight from above. "They’re nothing serious... cough, cough..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly clutched his mouth and coughed, looking somewhat frail.

"Senior Brother," Ji Zidian asked with concern, "you’re not fully recovered. Shouldn’t you go back into the coffin to rest?"

Wang Xiu raised his hand, signaling Ji Zidian not to worry. "No rush. There’s something more pressing at hand."

He turned, his gaze sweeping across the arena. The bodies of those slain by Yi Xing had been carried away, but the bloodstains remained, and many other grievously wounded young prodigies were receiving treatment within the crowd.

Finally, his eyes settled on Yi Xing.

Feeling Wang Xiu’s gaze, Yi Xing felt as if he had been targeted by a prehistoric Fierce Beast, sending a chill through his heart. This made him frown deeply. I am a prodigy of the Yi Clan. How can I feel this way about an ant from the Lower Realm?

The feeling was fleeting, dissipating as quickly as it came, like an illusion. In his eyes, Wang Xiu looked like someone who had yet to recover from grievous injuries. But the brief confrontation earlier still made him vigilant, and he was the first to ask, "Who are you?"

Wang Xiu did not answer his question, but simply said, "If this was just a friendly spar, why was there a need to take lives?"

Yi Xing sneered, "Lower Realm vermin, you think you’re worthy of sparring with me? Dying by my arrow is their honor!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Wang Xiu replied, "We are both of the Human Race. It is wrong for you to treat life so wantonly."

Yi Xing bared his teeth, revealing a fierce grin. "You want to avenge them?"
