Chapter 1314: The Stray Dog, How Can It Beg for Mercy?

Wang Ze Sheng Di seemed a bit disoriented...

In the skies above Zui Yi Dian, Dao Qiong Cang watched as Wang Ze Sheng Di was precisely located and seized from the Feng He, and he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, glancing back at Rao Yao Yao.

Xu Xiaoshou's combat awareness was nothing short of impressive!

Anyone who still underestimated him as just a young man who had inherited Sheng Di power would be completely outmatched in a fight.

His tactic was simple: overwhelm with momentum, then unleash verbal barbs to break the opponent's spirit, and finally strike to kill.

There was no denying that Xu Xiaoshou's strategy had worked.

As an outsider, Dao Qiong Cang saw it more clearly.

Xu Xiaoshou never underestimated any opponent, but Wang Ze Sheng Di had indeed grown complacent against this junior.

People who were both clever and confident, like Ba Zun An, typically chose to confront head-on and dominate with force.

Xu Xiaoshou was different—completely different!

He was cunning with an unconventional edge, appearing self-assured while being truly confident, using trash talk to shatter defenses before revealing his hidden weapons.

In Dao Qiong Cang's eyes, these tactics had no clear superiority; he even admired Xu Xiaoshou's approach, as they were both cut from the same cloth.

But if you had to compare, it all depended on the opponent.

Without a doubt, Xu Xiaoshou's tactics against the Rao clan always succeeded.

So...

Was this an inherited trait?

The seemingly invincible Sheng Di of the Rao clan had actually been exposed to a weakness by Xu Xiaoshou?

Dao Qiong Cang couldn't help but glance at Rao Yao Yao again.

"You look at me for what?"

Rao Yao Yao quickly noticed the unusual gaze, and one look was fine, but two was disrespectful.

"Nothing."

Dao Qiong Cang shook his head and turned back to the battlefield.

"You clearly..."

"Wang Ze Sheng Di is in danger."

Dao Qiong Cang interrupted, successfully changing the subject, and even Rao Yao Yao couldn't help but worryingly look over.

The battle in Jue Jin Huo Yu was about to erupt.

Wang Ze Sheng Di emerged from the Feng He, not only bearing the devastating impact from the earlier explosion of Long Rong Jie, which left him in a severely weakened state, but also having his mental defenses torn apart by Xu Xiaoshou's verbal assaults—that was the real breakthrough.

After manifesting, he realized Xu Xiaoshou's combat awareness matched his own... This young man, whose bone age was only around twenty, actually possessed combat instincts nearing the Three Realms?

Wang Ze Sheng Di already sensed something was wrong.

He directly blocked out Xu Xiaoshou's trash talk, refusing to listen or get angry.

The Feng He converged, absorbing all the white flames.

Wang Ze Sheng Di emerged from the center, completely free of white flames.

But upon appearing, his first choice wasn't to charge in rage; instead, he considered turning to flee.

"Hahaha!"

"Wang Ze, do you really think I'm that unbeatable, that a few words from me, Xu, could scare you off?"

At the peak of Gu Lou, Xu Xiaoshou laughed wildly.

But words were just words; he wasn't about to let his caught prey escape.

With Wang Ze already wounded in both body and spirit, Xu Xiaoshou had unleashed his strongest verbal arsenal. If he couldn't seize this opportunity, he wouldn't deserve his Sheng Di-level "agility."

"Roar!!"

Xu Xiaoshou opened his mouth and roared like a dragon.

The compressed dragon pearl in front of his face shattered instantly, spewing out a torrent of dragon breath.

That dark, demonic power spread like ink from the nine heavens, devastating the surroundings and covering the space where Wang Ze tried to escape through the wind.

"Now the moon, then the wind..."

Wang Ze Sheng Di quickly adjusted his mindset and calmly pointed at Feng Li Jing, saying,

"Feng You Song!"

With a soft whoosh, an invisible gate to space-time seemed to open, bringing a distant cool breeze across the world.

That power carried an ancient, weathered, and eternal essence, blowing through the dragon breath and past Wang Ze Sheng Di...

Wang Ze Sheng Di, who had been engulfed by the attack, suddenly separated from that energy!

Though they were intertwined, they became distinctly divided!

The wind carried away all the dragon pearl energy, compressing it into a corner and trapping it in the ancient wind.

Wang Ze Sheng Di escaped from the present form, slipping away like a fleeting shadow.

This move left not only the onlookers stunned but also Xu Xiaoshou himself.

"Time power..."

Without a doubt, Wang Ze Sheng Di's defensive spiritual technique involved the Dao of Time.

This reminded Xu Xiaoshou of his own Zhi Xing Mie Ling.

At that moment, that energy was still compressed at the Zui Yi Dian ruins.

It hadn't exploded or dissipated; it remained in a superimposed state between the two.

That finger was like being trapped in a "world" with no time flow, only the cycle of wind blowing from ancient times to the present and back.

Xu Xiaoshou hadn't understood it back then, but now he had a slight grasp—it was constructed by the power of "Feng You Song."

Clearly, Wang Ze Sheng Di wasn't just a pure wind-attribute refiner.

Or rather, his understanding of wind attributes was tinged with the essence of time.

In this world, nothing existed in isolation, including innate attribute forces.

High temperatures could create Jue Zhao Bai Yan, and low temperatures could forge San Ri Dong Jie—Xu Xiaoshou had long understood this principle.

But for wind attributes to touch upon time, he gained a new insight into the Dao of Refining Spirits.

However...

"Do you think you can escape my pursuit, Xu's, like this?"

In Xu Xiaoshou's mind, bestial desires surged, and his lips curled into a grin that nearly split to his ears.

At the same time, as soon as the thought of pursuit flashed, the seven shadowy blood trees behind him rustled.

—As if divinely assisted!

"Thud."

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes turned blood-red, his body swelled with a boom, and his skin began to burn, emitting waves of heat and steam.

This wasn't Jue Zhao Bai Yan; it was his blood flow accelerating to the extreme.

A gash opened on his back.

A branch with a single blood-red leaf extended from it, growing wildly as Xu Xiaoshou lost control.

"Hunt time!"

Whoosh—Xu Xiaoshou grinned fiercely and vanished into the Sheng Dao.

Even he didn't know why he was doing this.

But in that moment, Xu Xiaoshou felt he wasn't just controlling his own body.

Some mysterious force was guiding him on what to do, how to fight, how to go berserk and vent—this was the best expression of blood power.

"Buzz!"

The blood-red sky invaded the forces of the dark world.

Even the people far away in Zui Yi Dian felt the air filled with a bloody scent.

Instinctively, red light flashed in everyone's eyes, as if they were submerged in a sea of corpses and blood.

That bestial desire nearly consumed their hearts, yet it didn't torment them; instead, it set them free.

"What's happening?"

Someone snapped back in terror and looked down, only to see the ground as it was—no sea of blood, no corpses, no ruins!

But when they looked up...

The sky had turned blood-red!

"Buzz!"

Red light flashed across the entire Xu Kong Island.

At Zhu Que Men, the Tian Ren Wu Shui, already completely covered in blood, had lost all sanity.

Qi Shu Da Di's possession was brutal and unreasonable, drawing out Tian Ren Wu Shui's potential without any discussion.

The moment Xu Xiaoshou thought of using the blood tree's power, Tian Ren Wu Shui's head drooped.

He was dead.

The next second, his limp head suddenly lifted.

He came back to life.

Blood light burst from Tian Ren Wu Shui's eyes.

He had sacrificed himself to empower Xu Xiaoshou.

"Hunger, the beginning of bestial nature!"

A deep, hoarse sacred sound echoed across Xu Kong Island.

Wang Ze Sheng Di, who had vanished into the invisible, felt a surge of impulse in his mind.

That power wasn't unstoppable, but on Xu Kong Island, constrained by rules and his resistance to the island's spirit, Wang Ze Sheng Di couldn't keep attacking consecutively.

This weakness was now amplified!

As soon as Wang Ze Sheng Di regained his senses and felt something was wrong, he intended to flee toward Qing Zhao.

But when he emerged from the Dao rules, what he saw was a deep chasm from a sword strike and a landscape split in half, like a mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

—Xue Jie!

"Oh no, this is the power of guidance..."

Wang Ze Sheng Di's pupils shrank, and his scalp tingled.

This scene was too horrifying!

Xue Jie was essentially Qi Shu Da Di's old lair on the outer islands. Fleeing here was like walking into a trap.

Just as he tried to escape again, his spirit wavered, and red light flashed in his eyes as bestial intent flooded his mind.

"What if it's just a touch?"

"Xu Xiaoshou may have inherited the four Sheng Di powers and be unbeatable, but he's inherently weak."

"I only need to clash with him directly once, and his internal forces will chaos, causing him to collapse from within..."

"Woof!" His thoughts stopped there as a strange wolf howl echoed in his ears.

Wang Ze Sheng Di snapped back to reality, realizing the opportunity had slipped away.

He had been controlled!

And Xu Xiaoshou was catching up!

His speed was already on par with Wang Ze Sheng Di's, and with Qi Shu Da Di's all-around mental control amplifying his inner obsessions, Wang Ze Sheng Di had been manipulated twice.

"Then let's clash!"

"A direct clash!"

Since it came to this, Wang Ze Sheng Di steadied his heart.

Feng Li Jing in his hand rustled through its pages, settling on the most violent final chapter.

"Li Yue Dao Ge!"

With a boom, the Xue Jie rules completely collapsed.

From all directions, past and present, it turned into ghostly wails and wolf howls of wind songs, like thousands of giant blades shredding the Dao principles.

In an instant, the blood sea within tens of thousands of li turned to dust.

This single strike rewrote the Xue Jie's landscape, erasing the mountains of corpses and sea of blood, turning it into a pure wind belt.

If the nine great forbidden zones of Xu Kong Island were redefined now, "Xue Jie" could be removed, and "Feng Dai" would lead a new chapter.

Xu Xiaoshou, emerging from the Sheng Dao and entering the Feng Dai, was naturally assaulted by all the chaotic storms.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

In an instant, countless gashes opened on his body, as if he had entered a wind-attribute boundary force field, with wounds and blood intertwining like blooming flowers.

His black dragon scales could withstand ten, a hundred, or a thousand wind blade attacks.

But in this Feng Dai, the attacks came too frequently to count!

Xu Xiaoshou charged in alone, his dragon scale armor shattering in a flash.

"Under attack, passive value: 9999."

"Under attack, passive value: 9999."

The info panel flooded with pop-ups, and the pain Xu Xiaoshou endured reached its peak.

Yet, under Qi Shu Da Di's stimulation of hunger and bestial desire, the pain didn't make him retreat; it only fueled his bloodlust.

Just like in Ba Gong, when Cen Qiao Fu took a blood tree branch and dared to fight hundreds of Zhan Dao and Tai Xu.

The bravery of a common man isn't shameful; those who charge through heaven can be called heroes!

"Rao! Wang! Ze!"

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes bulged with rage, letting out a heart-wrenching roar that signified his killing intent had turned manic.

He thrust a fist straight at Wang Ze Sheng Di's face.

In his fist's core was compressed Jue Zhao Heart, San Ri Dong Jie, Ping Hu Xiao Qing Hua, sword intent, Sheng force, and the four Sheng Di powers!

At the same time, Wang Ze Sheng Di felt himself pulled into a special space.

This strange sensation was something he hadn't experienced in years.

Not Sheng Yu...

Nor Tai Xu World...

But the boundary domain used by novice Wang Zuo Dao Jing practitioners!

"Jie Yu!?"

Wang Ze nearly laughed out loud.

This was almost laughable—pushing you to use a boundary domain!

Wang Ze Sheng Di's lips curled as he watched Xu Xiaoshou's fist approach in the Feng Dai, being shredded by wind blades that stripped away all his flesh.

In the end, only a fractured fist bone trembled, trying to strike this Rao clan Sheng Di.

"Are you joking?"

Wang Ze Sheng Di finally burst into laughter.

He understood now: Jue Zhao Lao Zu's power was in sync with Xu Xiaoshou, so he could handle it.

But Qi Shu Da Di wielded the strongest guiding force, even affecting Wang Ze Sheng Di.

Xu Xiaoshou simply couldn't withstand Qi Shu Da Di's power!

He had been completely turned into a brute who only fought with his body by the Sheng Di forces!

Yet, facing this mockery, Xu Xiaoshou's face—now reduced to a bloody skull with eyes wide in fury—suddenly shifted its jaw and revealed a ferocious grin.

He still had his wits!

He was still in control!

Ever since awakening the Kuang Ju, he wouldn't be clouded by "bestial desire" again!

"Are you joking, Wang Ze?"

"Facing four at once, how dare you still underestimate me? Where do you get the courage... Rao Ke Ai?"

"Then you're quite the big cutie!"

With a boom, lightning struck, and golden light shot out.

The wind blades in the sky were blasted apart, and that frail white bone fist transformed into a massive golden fist crashing down like Tai Shan.

Kuang Ju!

This transformation shook not only the entire Feng Dai but also the hearts of countless spectators, along with Dao Qiong Cang's unwelcome memories and Wang Ze Sheng Di's shockingly dilated pupils.

The golden fist replaced the white bone strike.

But what repelled the Feng Dai's Sheng Di wind blades wasn't the Kuang Ju's inherent power; it was the fluttering, charred fragments of Dao principles unraveling with the punch.

These exposed Dao rules were like magnified threads in a giant's sleeve.

Under the thorough divine thought power, the Dao threads of the sleeve inch by inch detached from the world, yet they put a perfect end to the pure violence.

"Die!!!"

The Kuang Ju had a gash on its back, and the blood tree branch had grown into two full blood trees, their canopies dense and rustling.

This sleeve-less, chi jiao Hand-empowered Kuang Ju punch delivered the most explosive output in the boundary domain.

A Wang Zuo boundary domain wasn't scary.

What was scary was that it wasn't just a domain; it was also a medium that perfectly ignited the four Sheng Di powers and various half-Sheng level forces!

The power of this punch unleashed everything inside Xu Xiaoshou to the fullest!

As a Sheng Di, Wang Ze Sheng Di's reactions were lightning-fast.

But when he realized something was wrong, it was already too late; he couldn't retreat and had to take it head-on.

—Bu Lao Wan Yang, is it still not too late?

"Feng Shen You Chong!"

Feng Li Jing shattered in an instant, turning into pure, viscous green wind-attribute Sheng Di power that infused Wang Ze Sheng Di's body.

With a flex of his waist, he summoned a colossal Feng Shen image rivaling the Kuang Ju.

This Feng Shen image lowered its gaze and guarded its elbows, wrapped in green silk ribbons and covered in mysterious green robes, like a Buddha or demon, god or ghost.

From ethereal form to full manifestation, it took only a moment.

This spiritual technique represented Wang Ze Sheng Di's strongest on-the-spot defense.

Yet, as the Kuang Ju punched, Wang Ze Sheng Di still felt something was off... very off!

In that instant, he felt his left eyeball shoot into his right eye socket, his nose bridge collapse into his throat, and his upper and lower left teeth knock out the right ones, along with a spurt of blood and displaced organs.

"I'm hitting your fake Feng Shen of the Rao clan!"

With a thud, under the shocked gaze of the outside crowd, the Feng Shen image's head spun 720 degrees in place.

Finally, frozen in the spiritual mirror's image, it showed the Feng Shen's twisted, misaligned features, devoid of any Sheng Di dignity.

It was completely shattered!

Not just the spiritual technique, but also the Sheng Di's pride!

The Feng Shen image's neck turned to wind and dissipated on the spot.

Wang Ze Sheng Di, protected within, was injured along with it; his head flew off, and his body was sent hurtling back.

"Xu Xiaoshou knocked Wang Ze Sheng Di flying?" Countless people stared in disbelief.

This punch told everyone that in a Sheng Di clash, seizing the initiative in a split second...

Bu Lao Wan Yang was too late!

"Roar!"

Without hesitation, Xu Xiaoshou, who landed the punch, crushed the boundary domain in his palm.

With a massive boom, the entire Feng Dai was shattered by the four Sheng Di powers, turning another forbidden zone to nothingness.

Wang Ze Sheng Di, who had barely kept his physical form after the punch, was also obliterated.

He could only escape as a wisp of spiritual power.

Now, even unable to maintain his Sheng Di intent manifestation, Wang Ze Sheng Di's actions carried a hint of a "stray dog."

"Think I'll let you go?"

As the Kuang Ju faded, Xu Xiaoshou snarled and pursued, appearing before this wisp of Sheng Di will.

"Xu..."

"Shut up!"

Xu Xiaoshou opened his eyes in mid-air, unleashing Wan Mu Jiang Mo.

In that instant, the remnant wisp of Wang Ze Sheng Di's will saw not the black sky, silver moon, or Gu Lou shadow.

Instead, it was a Kuang Ju with feet on the Mo Di Hei Long, seven blood trees on its back, a sea of white flames around its body, a green prison overhead, and two charred arms.

Wang Ze Sheng Di was dumbfounded.

He was completely suppressed by this vicious image.

Xin Jian Shu, Tian Jie?

What exactly was this Xu Xiaoshou, and how could he break through in battle?

Snapping back from the world-shaking image, Wang Ze Sheng Di's intent had taken form—he was in a realm of falling red plum blossoms, facing a solid black sword.

Xie Jian, and there were four of them!

Xu Xiaoshou spat to the side in disgust, then thrust the sword backward into the heart of this intent form, without mercy.

Wang Ze Sheng Di's Sheng Di intent was instantly demonized.

In his final moments, he heard the cold mockery that would be etched in his memory forever, spoken slowly and lightly, yet each word piercing the heart:

"A petty creature, wasting a lifetime."

"A stray dog, how dare you beg for mercy?"
