Chapter 377: Why Should I Listen To You?

“Hold it!” A booming voice tore through the skies and caused Shang Xia’s divine sense to tremble.

A Martial Extermination Realm expert arrived, and he was approaching quickly!

With a chill running through his heart, Shang Xia felt a huge pressure descending on himself. It was like a massive hammer that was slamming down from the heavens.

That wasn’t all. The sound wave smashed directly into his divine sense and he felt a sharp pain shooting through his mind.

Chu Chen, who had been locked on by Shang Xia earlier, took on Shang Xia’s strike with all that he had. He might have suffered a huge loss, but he managed to open up the distance between himself and Shang Xia.

When he thought that he could finally breathe easily now that backup had arrived, Shang Xia’s divine sense reappeared. He felt the hair on his neck standing on end as the feeling of danger came back.

“Be careful!” The voice that sounded before came from the skies again, but it sounded a lot more angry and worried than before.

With his life on the line, Chu Chen, a direct disciple of the Changbai Holy Land, no longer bothered about appearances. He did a miserable roll on the ground and a spear light shot past him. When he got to his feet and started running again, half his face was stained red with blood.

Compared to the fear he was feeling in his heart, Chu Chen was more curious as to how Shang Xia managed to send out another attack even after a Martial Extermination Realm expert had interfered.

Unfortunately for him, he would have to bring his question to his grave.

Just as he thought that Shang Xia had sent out his last attack, he suddenly discovered the tip of a crimson-colored spear growing larger in front of his eyes.

His consciousness was exterminated in the blink of an eye and the last sound to enter his ear was a roar that seemed to grow ever more distant.

…

Sima Zhanxing was about to lose his mind. In the Azure Spiritual World, had to rely on the great races in the Liao Continent to survive. He might be a Martial Extermination Realm expert, but he was nothing without the backing of the Rose Party. It was especially so when he was a member of the Azure Origin World trapped in the Azure Spiritual World with no way of returning. In the time he spent there, he experienced a great deal of discrimination and distasteful behavior.

The Changbai Holy Land had been pushing for the deterrence of the Tongyou Institution’s return to the battlefield between the two worlds. However, Sima Zhanxing seemed to be even more fervent in his assault against the Tongyou Institution when compared to those from the four great races of the Liao Continent.

When the Martial Extermination Realm experts of both sides clashed, he didn’t care about the repercussions and obstructions he would face as he searched for Liu Qinglan to prove himself. He wanted to defeat someone from the Tongyou Institution in order to prove his worth to the Martial Extermination Realm experts of the Changbai Holy Land.

He discovered how wrong he was when he finally located her. He discovered that she had already refined her second extermination origin and he was horribly defeated by the opponent he was slightly stronger than a year ago!

No matter how talented he was, it was difficult to progress in a world where he had no support and no chance to look for resources! He was basically stuck at the same level he was when he last fought the members of the Tongyou Institution!

He was even thanking his lucky stars that his cultivation base didn’t weaken!

Under the ferocious assault of Liu Qinglan’s newly improved nine-segmented whip, multiple wounds formed on his body and he was beaten up really badly. If things were to keep up, he would probably die in her hands.

Just as he was falling into a state of despair, a Martial Extermination Realm expert from the Changbai Holy Land, Pan Yunbi, appeared. He managed to save Sima Zhanxing from his miserable fate.

Pan Yunbi’s appearance changed the tide of battle completely. Sima Zhanxing was elated at her appearance while Liu Qinglan felt her heart going cold.

Her feelings didn’t stem from Pan Yunbi’s cultivation base. Pan Yunbi was also a second layer Martial Extermination Realm expert, and she wasn’t too much stronger than her. Instead, it was that Pan Yunbi actually came to back Sima Zhanxing up. Her presence alone meant that there was a Martial Extermination Realm expert from the Tongyou Institution who fell!

It was true that Pan Yunbi was also a second layer Martial Extermination Realm expert and wasn’t too much stronger than Liu Qinglan, but one couldn’t forget that she came from a holy land. With the inheritances she had and Sima Zhanxing’s assistance from the side, they quickly gained the upper hand.

Sima Zhanxing and Liu Qinglan seemed to take each other’s place as Liu Qinglan was being trashed mercilessly. If things kept up like that, it wouldn’t take long before Liu Qinglan became the second Martial Extermination Realm expert from the institution to fall.

Both sides might seem to have prepared a grand lineup for the war with a huge number of Martial Extremity and Martial Intent Realm cultivators who were ready to rush into the battlefield between the two worlds, but the true experts who would decide the outcome of the battle were the Martial Extermination Realm experts on both sides.

If another Martial Extermination Realm expert from the institution fell, the battle would tilt heavily in favor of the Azure Spiritual World!

Sima Zhanxing felt an opportunity coming his way as he worked with Pan Yunbi. If he managed to gain her trust with his flawless cooperation, he would finally be able to find his footing in the Azure Spiritual World! As long as the Changbai Holy Land stood up for him, the awkward situation with the four great races would be solved immediately! If he worked his way up and gained enough merits, the Changbai Holy Land might even send him back to the Azure Origin World!

He pushed himself to his limit while working with Pan Yunbi to suppress Liu Qinglan.

Facing their aggressive assault, Liu Qinglan was forced into a passive state and she could only defend herself the best she could.

If the situation were to keep up, she would exhaust herself before long and her fate would be sealed.

Just as Sima Zhanxing and Pan Yunbi were about to achieve their goal, two sneaky figures entered the range of their divine senses.

They didn’t pay attention to the two figures initially after discovering that they were merely Martial Intent Realm experts. They were hell-bent on killing Liu Qinglan as that would allow them to gain a huge advantage over the Azure Origin World.

However, Pan Yunbi’s actions turned a little sluggish and she seemed to examine the two figures closer. Out of nowhere, she snapped at Sima Zhanxing. “Go! Go save the person running away and kill the little asshat chasing him.”

A look of fury appeared on her face as she growled to herself, “Hmph, useless trash!”

Sima Zhanxing was a Martial Extermination Realm expert at the end of the day. His expression sank after hearing her insult. Too bad for him, he couldn’t do anything about it. He was hoping for the Changbai Holy Land to take him in, or at least, speak up for him against the four great races. He had to accept her insults whether he liked it or not, and his sunken expression quickly disappeared. A smile appeared on his face and he acknowledged her order, “I’ll go immediately! Please be careful here.”

As he turned to leave, he realized how much he had changed over the past year. He was the young master of the Sima Family in the Azure Origin World! He was well-respected all his life, but now, he had to take the scolding of someone who wasn’t too much stronger than him and he couldn’t show the slightest trace of displeasure!

The extermination origin under his feet glowed even more intensely as he raced over to the two little ants running around on the ground below.

When he noticed the figures running down below, he realized that he had misunderstood Pan Yunbi earlier. He also understood why she had commanded him to save the person running away.

From the looks of it, the cultivator running away was a direct disciple of the Changbai Holy Land and she was probably scolding him, right?!

That’s probably it… He’s really useless if he needs a Martial Extermination Realm expert to save his ass…

The more he thought about it, the better he felt about himself. At the very least, he felt that Pan Yunbi wasn’t referring to him earlier.

After finally comforting himself, another disturbing thought flashed through his mind.?When did I become so insecure?! What the…

He didn’t exactly manage to answer his own question when he felt a familiar presence among the two.

“It’s him!” Excitement replaced all the self doubt in his heart when he noticed Shang Xia. “Shang Xia! The grandson of deputy patriarch Shang Bo. Hahaha! That’s the genius the institution has been placing heavy emphasis on!”

Happiness flashed in his heart when he thought about the person he was about to kill.

“Hold it!” …

…

Well, the things that played out next caused a fire to burn in his chest. Even after being discovered by Sima Zhanxing, Shang Xia managed to kill Chu Chen!

What the hell… Is he crazy?!

Rushing down towards the two of them his extermination origin shot at Shang Xia. Unfortunately, it was too late. Chu Chen was as dead as could be!
