One Shotting a Dou Saint!
🕑 Added 2023-07-23 11:40:28 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 135 ---
"Leader! First Elder!" Yao Ling cried in surprise.
Outside the waterfall curtain, a skinny-looking elderly with untamed long white hair fought against a black-clothed man with short white hair. Their appearances are somewhat similar to each other, despite the opposite build.
"YAO XIAOTIAN! If I didn't kill you today, I'm not a leader of the tribe anymore!" The skinny-looking elder roared in anger.
The black-clothed man named Yao Xiaotian grumbled as he carefully dodged his brother's attack. "Yao Ming, your era will end... When the Saintess arrived, I'd marry her and become the true chieftain!" He confidently said.
Crack!
Behind the waterfall, Baek Ain leaned on the cave wall and made a large crack with his grip.
"What did he say?" A rare, cold smile appeared on Baek Ain's face.
"Uh, oh. Someone is going to die!" Yi Xian commented instantly.
Cai Lin's expression turned ugly as someone planned to marry her upon arriving at the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe. She glanced at Yao Ling, expecting the elder to answer her irritation.
Yao Ling's back ran down with cold sweats because she didn't know about this. Her job is to protect Saintess Cai Lin from harm and escort her back to the tribe, just like how Xue Rongrong does to Baek Ain.
A bitter expression formed on Yao Ling's face as she explained, "Saintess, I didn't know anything about this marriage plan of the First Elder. The information I received from the tribe doesn't specify this."
"Is that so?" Cai Lin rolled her eyes. It seemed the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe had separated into two parties.
"Ain, I want-!"
Before Cai Lin could finish her words, Baek Ain presumed the state of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe and lashed out of the cave. He pulled his Earth Cleaver and chased after Yao Xiaotian.
[Golden Crow's Possession]
[Myriad Behemoth Sage Physique]
[Apocalyptic Druid of Pride]
Baek Ain's whole body surged with power as his cultivation shot up to the Middle Stage of the Half-Saint Realm. And not only that but Baek Ain's overall physical strength and control over five fundamental elements reached the sage-like stage, which could be equal to a Dou Saint.
However, Baek Ain is still lacking in some ways.
Yao Xiaotian is 1-Star Dou Saint, so Baek Ain doesn't want to hold back.
[Howl of Sovereign White Tiger]
ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!
A mighty tiger's roar echoed in the area, stunning both Yao Xiaotian and Yao Ming.
Baek Ain brandished the Earth Cleaver with Blade Intent and Soul Power to the fullest. He arrived at Yao Xiaotian's side and swung his blade with all his might.
"Blade Orbit..."
"Light Annihilation!"
A destructive aura covered Baek Ain's blade, turning his formerly white Blade Intent into ferocious crimson light. The light expanded and twisted rapidly, becoming an enormous blade that struck Yao Xiaotian's body.
SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!
The blade's light illuminated the area and sliced everything within one hundred miles radius in half. Several mountains got halved, leaving a sizzling flat top.
"Don't even think about running away."
"You dare to think of stealing my wife? Die!" Baek Ain's cold voice reverberated as he cut Yao Xiaotian's soul into a thousand pieces.
[Ding! You have killed an Intermediate 1-Star Dou Saint]
[Ding! Soul Protection(Unknown) activated upon Yao Xiaotian's counter-attack against the Host]
[You have obtained Yao Xiaotian's Incomplete Memory and two of his skills]
[Passive Skill: Acting(S)]
[Active Skill: Puppeteers(B)]
Baek Ain deactivated his transformation and felt a massive loss of Dou Qi Energy. That last attack consumed too much energy.
He reviewed Yao Xiaotian's Incomplete Memory and frowned because he discovered the screwed guys to control Cai Lin when she arrived at the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe.
Upon arrival, Yao Xiaotian will try to seduce Saintess Cai Lin. And if he doesn't meet his goal, Yao Xiaotian would use the aphrodisiac and mind-controlling Dou Technique he learned from the Hall of Souls.
The skill Puppeteers confirmed it.
Baek Ain rubbed his head and glanced at the skinny-looking elder, observing the shocked expression.
The Howl of Sovereign White Tiger's effect only stunned them for a few milliseconds, but that was enough for Baek Ain to slip in and kill Yao Xiaotian.
They stared at each other silently.
The mood is awkward as fuck.
A moment later, the skinny-looking elder sighed and bowed toward Baek Ain respectfully. "My name is Yao Ming, the Chief of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe. Thank you for assisting me in killing my revolting brother."
"Likewise, my name is Baek Ain." Baek Ain introduced, leaving Yao Ming speechless.
Yao Ming's droopy eyes blinked as he uttered, "D-Don't tell me you're the Saint of the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe?"
"I did hear you'd come with the Saintess, but this exceeded my belief in you... You're much stronger than I expected."
"Is that supposed to be a bad or good thing?" Baek Ain let out a heartful laugh.
Yao Ming laughed slightly and returned, "Haha, It's a good thing."
"After all, you're the Spouse of our Saintess."
"Aren't you sad that I just killed your people? He should be your blood-related brother, no?"
Yao Ming's expression turned from calm to helpless and angry before becoming tranquil again. "He deserved it." He cursed with a huff.
"He was trying to seize my position with the help of Hall of Souls."
"At first, I didn't notice anything, but it was too late when I realized. Yao Xiaotian has controlled almost everyone in the tribe and drove them against me."
"My only choice is to drive him here, far away from the tribe, or the consequence will be dire. Everyone will die under my hand."
He stared at Baek Ain and continued, "The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe will be forever in debt toward you, Nether Saint."
Baek Ain waved his hand and casually replied, "It's nothing."
"I killed that guy because he dared to say something about marrying my wife in my presence."
"My pride won't allow it-!" Baek Ain stopped and noticed the effect of Superbia's Stigmata.
He slapped his forehead internally and mumbled, 'Shit! Will I slap someone to get my wives' names out of their mouths in the future?'
"Ah, no wonder." Meanwhile, Yao Ming nodded in understanding.
But deep inside, Yao Ming is taking note of Baek Ain's nature and wishes no one provokes the youth's wives in the future. He's fully aware that Baek Ain's cultivation base of 5-Star Dou Venerate is just a mask to cover his monstrosity.
If Yao Ming didn't watch Baek Ain kill Yao Xiaotian with a single, he'd not believe it either. That power is something only Dou Saint could wield, yet this white-haired youth still exceeds him.
Even 2-Star Dou Saint like Yao Ming shivered upon the thought of defending himself against Baek Ain's Light Illumination.
That's just courting death.
"Leader." Yao Ling suddenly approached them.
Yao Ming smiled and said, "Good work, Third Elder."
"You're coming with our esteemed guests at the right moment."
"If you are late by a day-!"
"No, if you are late by half a day, something disastrous will happen."
Yao Ling acted humbled, "No, Leader. I'm just doing my job."
"Anyway, we should stabilize the tribe first."
"Mm." Yao Ming nodded in agreement. "Yao Xiaotian has used the mind-controlling Dou Technique to create chaos. Our tribe's members are currently fighting against each other."
Baek Ain chuckled and commented, "Well, something easy like that can get solved easily."
"Qing Lin, you can do it, right?"
"Yes." Qing Lin flashed to Baek Ain's side and started summoning hundreds of snake-type Magical Beasts. Her eyes changed color and gained a unique pattern.
"T-This is Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!!!" Yao Ming was dumbfounded. He trembled in fear because these eyes were the nemesis of all snake-type Magical Beasts.
