Chapter 452: Slaying the Gathered Legends
"If you can enter, so can I. As for you, what\'s with this blizzard? Did you have too much spiritual power to waste? Or are you just trying to hide things around you? Have your subordinates step out."
"My subordinates are among your number," Xiao Nanfeng replied.
"You mean to say that you have spies among my subordinates? You must be crazy. You\'re just trying to spark distrust, aren\'t you? I advise you to give up now. Hand over your imperial seal and copper blade, and I\'ll give you a clean death. Otherwise, I\'ll peel your skin, cut off your tendons, and bake your yin body—a fate worse than death," Yin Tianci threatened.
"You don\'t believe me? I\'ll show you, then," Xiao Nanfeng said.
He rushed toward one golden arhat.
"What are you doing?!" the golden arhat exclaimed warily.
"There\'s no need to pretend any longer. You\'re mine, now. It\'s time to assist me. Lend me your arhat armor."
A wisp of candle flame emerged on his palm and struck at the golden arhat.
Worried that he would scare off Yin Tianci and his subordinates, he chose not to activate his deific domain. He would rather take his time and ensure that Yin Tianci and all of his subordinates would perish. Instead, he took advantage of the Spirit Emperor\'s candle manipulation.
He had been weak in the past and couldn\'t unleash the true power of these candle flames. Now, however, things were different. He infused his True Yin strength into the flames—and the moment he touched the golden arhat, he leapt into its interior forcefully, whereupon he met the Dayin cultivator within face to face.
The Dayin cultivator blanched. He was just about to shout when Xiao Nanfeng killed him with a swing of his blade, dividing his body in two. Xiao Nanfeng immediately stowed his body in the Divine Seal of Dazheng, then melded with the arhat armor and seized control of it.
In order to avoid exposing his secret, he said, "Alright, you can rest now. I\'ll be controlling this arhat armor from now on."
The sight shocked Yin Tianci\'s other subordinates, all of whom saw Xiao Nanfeng vanish from sight upon touching the armor before suddenly taking it over from the inside.
"Impossible. How could Xiao Nanfeng have made it inside?"
"The arhat armor possesses a robust self-defense system. Unless the cultivator within wills it, no one would be able to pass through the armor without suffering damage."
"Could San really be one of Xiao Nanfeng\'s spies? Has he betrayed us?"
The cultivators murmured to each other in shock. All this was beyond belief.
"Die, Yin Tianci!" Xiao Nanfeng roared, charging forward in his suit of armor.
A few golden arhats emerged to stop him.
"Damn that San. Did he really betray me? Catch him and Xiao Nanfeng!" Yin Tianci howled.
"Understood!"
Xiao Nanfeng began to fight vigorously against the other golden arhats.
"Hegemon\'s Fist!"
Xiao Nanfeng punched forward just once, but the afterimages that Hegemon\'s Fist left all over the sky sent a large group of golden arhats flying. He repeated the same technique, taking down more of Yin Tianci\'s subordinates.
He fought one against thirty and, shockingly, never lost the upper hand. The golden arhats that shot toward them were sent flying.
"How could this be? You weren\'t this strong before. How could you have grown so much stronger?!" Yin Tianci demanded.
Xiao Nanfeng punched two golden arhats with such strength that their helmets were bashed in. The two cultivators within died on the spot.
"I had been conserving my strength," Xiao Nanfeng replied coolly.
Last time, he had been manipulating the arhat armor as an Earth Immortal. Now, as a True Yin cultivator, he was clearly stronger.
"All of you, charge toward him at once! Shatter his arhat armor!" Yin Tianci roared.
Xiao Nanfeng forced another large group of golden arhats back, but suffered a few blows as a result. His arhat armor began to crack.
"His armor won\'t last for long. Continue!" Yin Tianci roared.
Xiao Nanfeng sneered. "Yin Tianci, are you aware that I have other spies among your subordinates?"
"Ha! Xiao Nanfeng, who are you trying to fool? All my subordinates are Heaven Immortals. Why would they deign to be your spies?" Yin Tianci retorted in disbelief.
He had come to the conclusion that there was something very fishy about how Xiao Nanfeng had taken over that suit of arhat armor just now.
"Die!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.
He caused his arhat armor to explode in a wave of flames, swamping the golden arhats that shot toward him.
"No!" the cultivators cried out.
They were all sent flying from the resulting explosion, and many of their suits of armor broke. Only a rare few remained unharmed.
The explosion that Xiao Nanfeng had caused didn\'t kill any of Yin Tianci\'s subordinates, but it had hurt the majority of them.
The Divine Seal of Dazheng floated in the heart of the explosion. Xiao Nanfeng stepped out of it, safe and sound.
"Xiao Nanfeng doesn\'t have a suit of arhat armor anymore. Quick, take him down!" Yin Tianci roared.
Xiao Nanfeng was charging toward an intact suit of armor. "Alright, thanks for your help. It\'s my turn now. Lend your arhat armor to me."
The cultivator within that suit of arhat armor blanched. He roared, "I won\'t let you defame me! Die!"
He punched at Xiao Nanfeng, who met his punch with a burst of candle flame. Xiao Nanfeng vanished from sight once again as he teleported into the interior of the armor.
"What?!" The cultivator blanched.
With another swing of his blade, Xiao Nanfeng killed him and took over his suit of arhat armor.
"Could General Ye be one of Xiao Nanfeng\'s spies, too? That\'s impossible!"
"Why would General Ye be willing to pass his armor to Xiao Nanfeng?"
"That doesn\'t make any sense!"
As the cultivators cried out in shock, Xiao Nanfeng charged forward. He punched forward with Hegemon\'s Fist, causing suit of battered armor after suit of battered armor to explode.
Within moments, there were only ten of the original thirty golden arhats left.
"Your Highness, General Ye and San didn\'t betray you. Xiao Nanfeng has some sort of secret technique to take over these suits of arhat armor. He was lying to you! We can\'t keep fighting. If we do, we\'ll all be done for!" one cultivator exclaimed.
Upon seeing Xiao Nanfeng take down another cultivator with a punch, Yin Tianci came to the same conclusion. Sweat beaded on his forehead.
"Flee!" Yin Tianci commanded. He turned tail and ran.
"Do you think you\'ll be able to escape?" Xiao Nanfeng demanded.
He chased after no one but Yin Tianci. The golden arhats who had dispersed had no choice but to gather around him to protect their liege.
"Stay behind and stall him. Quickly!" Yin Tianci howled.
"Understood!" the cultivators replied.
The next moment, two golden arhats escorted Yin Tianci away as the remainder stayed behind to hold Xiao Nanfeng back.
"We\'ll hold Xiao Nanfeng here. Once His Highness makes it out, we\'ll split up and scatter. Xiao Nanfeng won\'t be able to catch us then," one cultivator called out.
"Understood!" the cultivators replied.
"You won\'t be able to escape. Explode!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.
With a bang, the second suit of arhat armor that he had commandeered burst apart. The golden arhats were sent flying, their armor cracked. The cultivators within cried out and groaned.
After the explosion, Xiao Nanfeng emerged from the Divine Seal of Dazheng again. He quickly took over another golden arhat.
"Die!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted, pummeling at the cultivators in his way.
He quickly killed all the cultivators in the golden arhats around him.
Yin Tianci had yet to escape from his sight. Xiao Nanfeng immediately gave chase.
"Xiao Nanfeng\'s coming after me again. Everyone else is dead—this can\'t be!" Yin Tianci howled.
"Yin Tianci, you won\'t be able to escape!" Xiao Nanfeng drew closer and closer to the three cultivators.
"Hold him back!" Yin Tianci demanded.
The two remaining golden arhats were terribly frightened. They wanted to flee, but they knew what sort of punishment would await them if they did. They had no choice but to turn and stall Xiao Nanfeng.
"Hold on, Xiao Nanfeng! Let\'s have a talk!" one golden arhat shouted.
Xiao Nanfeng punched his head in, killing him instantly.
The other cultivator blanched. Knowing that he wouldn\'t be able to escape his death, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Explode!"
He hugged Xiao Nanfeng tightly as his armor exploded.
A huge fireball lit up the realm as the two suits of armor shattered, leaving the Divine Seal of Dazheng floating calmly in the air.
Xiao Nanfeng walked out of the seal and scoffed, "Do you really think I\'d be caught by my own trick? Dream on!"
Xiao Nanfeng then headed straight for Yin Tianci, now alone.
"Don\'t come over here, Xiao Nanfeng! We can talk things through!" Yin Tianci shouted as he fled.
Xiao Nanfeng, with his True Yin body, was no slower than Yin Tianci. The distance between them only shrank.
"Talk? What\'s there to talk about? You\'ve tried to kill me many times, and this is the first time you\'ve wanted to talk. Who do you think you are?"
"I\'m the crown prince of Dayin, and this is only an avatar of mine! If you dare hurt me, I\'ll surely seek revenge. I\'ll kill all your loved ones!" Yin Tianci threatened.
"What a joke you are. You could take revenge on me even if I let you go."
"No, no! I promise I won\'t. I\'ll swear it!"
"Even you don\'t believe your lies, do you? What makes you think I\'d believe you? If I were to let you go, you\'d only think me soft and able to be bullied. You would be even harsher and more strident with your vengeance. I intend to kill this avatar of yours now as a warning to you: if you provoke me, you\'ll die. And if you dare touch my relatives before you kill me, I\'ll do the same to you, and I won\'t stop until all of them are gone," Xiao Nanfeng hissed.
A wisp of candle flame appeared by his palm, which he slammed against Yin Tianci\'s arhat armor.
Yin Tianci punched at him, but the punch didn\'t connect. Xiao Nanfeng teleported through the armor and into its interior. Yin Tianci saw a blade heading his way.
"No!" Yin Tianci screamed.
Xiao Nanfeng cut him in half; he died instantly.
