Chapter 1139: Fear Storm (First Update, seeking all)

Judging by the aura he radiated, Xikema was about the same as Ge Liedi.

But under the scan of Mental Power where Nothing Can Escape, Li Zhangsheng still discovered the trickery.

Xikema's waist was exposed, and a yellow-textured jade waist accessory hung there. Under Li Zhangsheng's observation, he could faintly sense that this accessory was absorbing the aura leaking from Xikema's skin at every moment.

Without a doubt, this was a Breath Concealment type treasure, but it was still some distance away from being a Legendary Item, which was why it was easily seen through by Li Zhangsheng.

"Jordan Xike, I heard from Ge Liedi that you wish to defect to me?"

"Yes, Xikema wishes to fight for Your Excellency!"

Xikema lowered his head, and a hoarse voice rang out: "How is your strength?"

"This humble one is still at the Lower Rank Legendary Powerhouse stage, and my strength is about the same as Lord Ge Liedi."

Li Zhangsheng shook his head and said in a disappointed tone: "Xikema, you are very dishonest!"

"Why does Your Excellency say that?"

When Xikema answered, Li Zhangsheng could clearly feel the muscles all over his body tense up.

"Three whole Legendary Weapons, and you are even carrying a Breath Concealment type waist accessory. Tsk tsk, what exactly is your motive for coming to see me?"

As Li Zhangsheng's voice fell, Xikema's heart tightened; he did not know how Li Zhangsheng had seen through his Camouflage.

Xikema was an extremely decisive Legendary Powerhouse. After being exposed by Li Zhangsheng, he brazenly drew the twin swords at his waist. Two sword lights danced like dragons and snakes, making it difficult for others to judge their angle of attack.

At the same time, a phantom of a black leopard with yellow spots appeared above Xikema's head.

This was a Huangban Yingying Bao, a magical beast capable of rivaling a dragon.

According to the classification of the Fairy World, the Huangban Yingying Bao belongs to a Monarch Species, and it can reach the Lord level as long as it reaches adulthood.

Li Zhangsheng did not dodge at all. Suddenly, a lotus platform appeared beneath his feet, and a Starlight Barrier was released.

The two sword lights landed on it, only able to produce faint ripples; it was unbreakable.

"How is this possible!"

Xikema was shocked, but he did not give up and immediately unleashed his famous ultimate technique—Fear Storm.

Xikema had once been to the Plane Battlefield. This was an ultimate technique he had comprehended after seeing the Killing Storm of a Six-Armed Snake Demon. In an instant, he struck with his swords in the fastest possible way; the swords emerged like a forest, accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound, crazily striking the enemy with a fan-shaped rain of swords.

This move easily incited the instinctive fear of living beings, which was why it was called Fear Storm by Xikema.

Li Zhangsheng still did not move. It was not that he was too arrogant, but that he was full of confidence in the defense of the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform.

Not far away, Ge Liedi finally reacted and subconsciously drew his Ripper Great Axe to help, but was stopped by a look from Li Zhangsheng.

Clang, clang, clang, clang~

The rain of swords landed on the Starlight Barrier, emitting sounds like metal clashing.

The Starlight Barrier rippled in layers, yet there was still no feeling of it breaking.

Seeing this scene, Xikema was clearly taken aback. He never expected that the defense of the lotus platform beneath the opponent would be so astonishing; even if he tried his best, he still could not break through it.

"A Divine Artifact!"

Xikema blurted out. Only a Divine Artifact could so easily withstand his attacks, and it did not look like an ordinary Divine Artifact either.

Li Zhangsheng did not refute this, because the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform could indeed be counted as a Divine Artifact, though the forging methods of the two were different, and it did not use Divine Power.

Seeing that he could not break the lotus platform's defense, Xikema's mood sank to the bottom. After feinting a few more sword strikes, he immediately pulled back, wanting to escape.

"Since you have come, you might as well stay!"

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand casually, and the Zining Cauldron tore through the air and rushed out, suddenly landing above Xikema's head. A massive suppressing force crashed down.

Xikema clearly paused; his speed slowed by more than a notch, and his muscles bulged high as he tried his best to resist the suppressing force of the Zining Cauldron.

If it weren't for the Huangban Yingying Bao phantom sharing some of the pressure for him, he might have been pressed directly to the ground.

Judging from the current situation, Li Zhangsheng had already concluded that Xikema, like Huensi, possessed the level of a Middle Legend.

"If one isn't enough, then here comes another!"

As Li Zhangsheng's voice fell, the Blue Light Tripod also flew out and landed on top of the Zining Cauldron.

Although the suppressing force of the Blue Light Tripod was not as great as the Zining Cauldron, it was, after all, a treasure that suppressed Jiuzhou. The gap in this aspect was not very large. As both were part of the Nine Cauldrons, once both were brought out, they could naturally exert a power of 1+1 > 2.

Consequently, Xikema was in a fix. Under the surging suppressing force, it was as if he were carrying a mountain on his back. His face turned beet red, the bones all over his body emitted sounds of being unable to bear the weight, and his legs went soft, causing him to be pressed directly onto the ground.

Both were Middle Legend, but Xikema's strength was significantly worse than Huensi's, which was mainly related to their bloodlines.

The Huangban Yingying Bao was only comparable to a dragon, but the bloodline Huensi had absorbed was a sub-ancestral red dragon; the two could not be mentioned in the same breath.

Xikema lay on the ground, still struggling stubbornly, but his struggles were futile and of no use.

"Your Excellency, this subordinate is guilty!"

At this moment, Ge Liedi hurriedly knelt on one knee to plead guilty, filled with resentment toward the treacherous Xikema; this guy was simply trying to drag him down with him.

"Ge Liedi, this time I will fine you one year's salary; let this not happen again!"

A superior must be clear in rewards and punishments when managing subordinates. Ge Liedi had indeed made a mistake this time, so punishment was unavoidable.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Ge Liedi was clearly relieved. Although it was inevitably painful to his wallet, such a punishment was already considered very light.

"Alright, you first break his four limbs, then bring him over!"

"This subordinate obeys!"

Ge Liedi carried the Ripper Great Axe, wore a ferocious smile, and strode toward Xikema.

Xikema was scared out of his wits and struggled even harder, but it was of no use; he could only watch in despair as Ge Liedi arrived before him.

"Xikema, daring to be disrespectful to Your Excellency is truly a path to self-destruction!"

Ge Liedi wore a ferocious smile, raised the Ripper Great Axe high, and used the back of the axe to smash toward Xikema's four limbs.

Xikema wanted to dodge, but he was powerless to do so and could only watch helplessly as the great axe fell.

Crack~ Crack~ Crack~ Crack~

Xikema's painful screams rang out; in just a moment's time, Ge Liedi had broken his four limbs.

Xikema collapsed onto the ground, listless and without the strength to fight back, so Li Zhangsheng withdrew the two cauldrons.

After the suppressing force vanished, Ge Liedi grabbed Xikema by the neck with one hand and hoisted him before Li Zhangsheng as if he were a chick.

"Exalted one, I beg you to spare my life!"

Xikema was no righteous man willing to face death with composure; upon realizing his life was in Li Zhangsheng's hands, he immediately chose to beg for mercy.

Li Zhangsheng toyed with the Crystal Ball in his hand and asked, "Xikema, who sent you, and what is your objective?"

Just as Xikema was about to speak, Li Zhangsheng pressed the Crystal Ball against his forehead.
