Rise of the Great Emperor-Chapter 456: Growth

Chapter 456: Growth

Raising his head, Lin Xiao noticed that it was true. The pictures he saw changed and no longer showing the second set but the third set.

Slowly, Lin Xiao began to move once more. The position that the engravings showed all required high flexibility that Lin Xiao felt that he nearly pulled his own muscle. It was lucky that he was already a cultivator at Golden Core Stage 6 or it would be impossible for him to do the impossible movements.

In the end, he managed to finish everything and sat down on the ground with the lotus position.

A voice rang in his mind once more

Mind Calm like Ocean without Waves, Heart Without Ripples. The third set of Calming Heart Technique.

After completing the technique, Lin Xiao felt that he could sense his own heart and sense the ripples there. It was enough now. There was no more notification, so Lin Xiao could guess that he was not qualified to learn the rest of the technique or it was because there were only three moves.

In any case, Lin Xiao felt that his heart had calmed down considerably.

He raised his head and looked in the middle once more. The fight that occurred there hadn't disturbed him in the slightest bit.

"Do you really want to fight until death?" A familiar voice sounded from one of the youth there.

Lin Xiao raised his head and his lips twitched when he saw Hu Fei. If he was not wrong, he saw Hu Fei last time when he visited Hua Lan Kingdom. Now, Hu Fei was already a cultivator at Golden Core Stage 7 and currently fighting against someone there.

The other man was a cultivator at Golden Core Stage 8. He was standing there with an aloof expression, clearly looking down upon Hu Fei before him, who was at a stage lower than him.

"Do you really think that you're someone great? Pick a treasure for our Young Master or we'll force you to do it."

Hu Fei snorted. He crossed his hand. "Do you really think I'm a servant who will follow your order everywhere? I'm not going to pick."

"You can't leave!"

Swish! Bang!

Hu Fei's body jerked to the side as if disappearing. The wind blew as there was lingering sharpness in the air. It was to the point that one could feel the chills inside their heart.

Slash!

A metal appeared and thrusted from behind. The Cultivator couldn't even react before he dropped dead.

Golden Core Stage 8, fall!

Lin Xiao was astonished. He naturally knew that Hu Fei was a cultivator of metal element, but he didn't expect that after a few years, Hu Fei would have grown so much. It seemed that everyone was working hard and have their own chance encounter.

Right now, Hu Fei was no longer comparable to one he was in the past.

"You dare!" The group of cultivators grew more enraged as they rushed forward. They were adamant to take him off.

Bang!

Sudden pressure stopped them from moving as another youth strike them from the sides. It was clear that he looked nonchalant but the air around him looked clearer than before.

Hu Fei grinned. "You did great Lan Qing Xi."

Lan Qing Xi nodded.

It was only now Lin Xiao noticed that Hu Fei was not alone. There were three other youths and two of them were people whom Lin Xiao recognized as Lan Qing Xi and Fan Pan.

It seemed that these group of people somehow met each other and teamed up.

However, Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat when he saw them. He could see that Fan Pan was already Golden Core Stage 8, the same as him. Lan Qing Xi and the other man was at Golden Core Stage 7.

They had all grown so much from the last time they met.

"We're attracting too much attention here. Finish this quickly." Fan Pan waved his hand towards the youth before them.

"Easy for you to say that." Hu Fei's lips twitched.

"I'll deal with the leader, you do the rest."

"Alright."

The fourth person stretched his hand before a zither appeared before him. It seemed that weapon based on sound had become more and more common lately. Lin Xiao had encountered several of them in his life.

Tring!

The moment the song started, even the spectators felt that they were disrupted. The flow of Qi in their body was faintly disturbed and that was only from the after effect. Those who were not strong enough swiftly departed back.

The other group consisted of 12 people, well 11 now since Hu Fei had killed one of them. The strongest one of them was already at Golden Core Stage 9 and he directly attacked Fan Pan, who was undoubtedly the strongest in their group.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sounds of fighting rang out.

Lin Xiao chose to stay behind as he watched intently. He could see several swords behind Hu Fei that he controlled. It seemed that the path Hu Fei chose was that of swords.

Clang!

"Your swords are not a match for us!"

Three people had surrounded Hu Fei as they attacked him.

However, Hu Fei controlled his swords to block their attacks. Sweat began to form on his face, but he held on.

Lan Qing Xi also swung his sword as cool sensation spread.

Sword River Bearing!

Slash! Clang!

The sword cleaved through one of them who came to him. However, there were still three others who surrounded him. His Qi wouldn't last long against three cultivators at Golden Core Stage 8 and 7.

The last member was also struggling to fight against three cultivators.

Lin Xiao then passed a look at Fan Pan and noticed that this time, Fan Pan was serious. Unlike the time when he was facing Fan Ling, he was concentrating all of his attention to his sword that was cleaving through the air, leaving afterimages.

At the same time, scorching temperature spread.

Bang!
