Incredibly 6

As Sima Gao saw it, since Yu Xian dared to pick a fight with the Vine King, he definitely possessed Star-rank strength. Yet Yu Xian was only one man, after all—Little Nora was not even factored into his assessment of their combat power—so when facing the sheer numbers of the Black Lotus Sect, Yu Xian alone might not hold the upper hand. Although he merely suspected that the Sect Master of the Black Lotus Sect possessed Star-rank strength, in reality, he was eighty percent certain. After all, to secure a foothold in the Death Calamity Sea, it was impossible without an expert of at least the Star Rank to hold down the fort. Yet when he finished rambling on and looked over at Yu Xian and Little Nora, both of them were eating, having not listened to a single word he had said. Seeing Sima Gao look his way, Yu Xian licked the ice pop in his hand and asked, "Finished?" "..." The expression on Sima Gao's face drained away. Fortunately, his afflictions had already been cured by Yu Xian; otherwise, his face would have started twitching again. He took a deep breath. *He's my benefactor, my benefactor. I must show respect.* He nodded and replied, "Finished." "Then let's roll and uphold justice for the heavens." Yu Xian crunched the ice pop in one bite. The next instant, the surrounding space shattered along with it. Before Sima Gao could even react, the three of them were already standing at the foot of the Black Lotus Sect's mountain. At the mountain's base lay a path leading up, guarded by two disciples. Seeing Yu Xian and his companions suddenly appear, they immediately shouted, "Halt, you three! This is the Black Lotus Sect—" "Quiet." Yu Xian cut them off, then cocked his ear to listen, his eyes closed as though sensing something. The two Black Lotus Sect disciples flushed red with indignation. But not knowing the newcomers' background, they did not dare lash out immediately, forced to wait until Yu Xian was done. It was not that they were polite, but rather that they knew the Black Lotus Sect was merely a slightly larger ant in the Death Calamity Sea. Here, Star-rank powerhouses were as common as dogs, and Li-rank masters ran everywhere. Back in Nanli Heaven, the Black Lotus Sect had been a major demonic sect, but in the Death Calamity Sea, it was at best a small-to-medium faction. If they offended someone they shouldn't have, the entire sect could be wiped out in minutes. By now, Yu Xian seemed to have finished listening and took a sniff at the air around them. "Can you people really sleep in a place like this?" After a moment, Yu Xian opened his eyes, furrowed his brows at the two Black Lotus Sect disciples, and asked with genuine curiosity. "Are you messing with us?" The two disciples' faces darkened. Yu Xian shook his head. "The resentment here soars to the skies, and the stench of blood is thicker than a slaughterhouse. It seems much worse than what Sima described." "Looking for trouble, are you?" One of the disciples had a fiery temper and immediately drew his sword. Just as Sima Gao was about to warn Yu Xian, the next moment brought an unbelievable sight: Little Nora delivered a flying kick that sent the Black Lotus Sect disciple hurtling through the air on the spot. "Humph! Daring to draw a sword against my most, most, most respected Big Brother—you're courting death!" Little Nora spun around as she landed, a chicken leg still in hand. Snapping back to his senses, the other Black Lotus Sect disciple immediately pulled out a signal flare. "What era is this, and you're still using this antique?" Before he could ignite the flare, Yu Xian appeared right beside him, casually snatched it away, and shook his head. Shocked, the disciple recoiled frantically while executing the White Lotus Bone Refining Art. The bones inside his body rapidly sprouted outward, forming a suit of armor to protect himself. "Looks like you actually learned some real skills," Yu Xian remarked mildly upon seeing this. Then he gave a gentle flick of his right index finger, and the disciple burst apart instantly, disintegrating into various minerals, water, and organic molecules. [Extra, Combat Power: 0.0014] [Yu Xian, Combat Power: 666666666] ... ... Sima Gao's mouth hung open, completely unable to comprehend Yu Xian's method. He knew Yu Xian was strong; after all, Little Nora's live stream could be viewed across the myriad realms, which in itself was proof of capability. Yet he had never expected Yu Xian to be powerful to an extent he couldn't comprehend at all. Was this truly just a Star-rank powerhouse? At this moment, Yu Xian stood in place studying the signal flare taken from the disciple. The thing looked ancient, and it genuinely was quite old, apparently requiring a specific type of spiritual energy to activate. Yu Xian experimented with True Crimson Power for a while, but failed to set it off. Next, he tested it with his biological force field for a good while, before simply tossing the flare into the air. With a flick of his finger, an invisible force instantly struck the midair flare, making it detonate on the spot. "..." Sima Gao's heart skipped a beat, but quickly settled down. Mainly, he had no way of stopping Yu Xian from doing what he wanted. Besides, he had already sensed a vague inkling that Yu Xian might be far stronger than he had guessed. He wasn't an idiot; he wasn't going to scream and shout like his memory had been wiped every time something happened, as if he couldn't remember how strong the protagonist was unless they flashed a "Special Class Chef" badge. Now that he had met a top-tier boss, keeping quiet and watching the show was the way to go. Sure enough, after Yu Xian detonated the signal flare, disciples of Blood Lotus Peak were the first to appear, treading atop blood lotuses. Yu Xian and Little Nora both looked up as the disciples flew in. Little Nora wrinkled her nose and asked, "Don't they think it stinks?" "Probably because their noses aren't as sharp as ours, so they can't smell it," Yu Xian explained. The stench of blood clinging to these disciples was extremely thick, especially from the blood lotuses beneath their feet, which reeked of putrid blood. Yu Xian guessed this was likely a sign of unrefined cultivation. However, with such a heavy stench of blood and the lingering aura of the dead on the lotuses, Yu Xian could be a hundred percent certain that these people had taken countless lives—and mostly those of ordinary mortals, or else the blood lotuses would be far stronger. After all, the blood of Transcendents was of much higher quality; given equal quantities, refining blood lotuses with Transcendent blood would naturally yield a far superior grade. "Big Brother, you or me?" Little Nora asked at this moment. Yu Xian smiled. "I'll leave it to you. It's a good chance to see how much you've improved lately." "Then watch closely, Big Brother!" Little Nora's excitement was instantly piqued. She dashed forward, leaped into the air, spun around, and began radiating golden light, transforming from within the glow into her true form. A giant golden bird streaked toward the Blood Lotus Peak disciples in an instant. Her speed was already very close to the speed of light. The disciples barely caught sight of Little Nora flying toward them before, the next moment, their bodies were blown to pieces by razor-sharp Heavenly Golden Feathers. In the blink of an eye, nothing remained in the sky except a cloud of bloody mist; the disciples were completely gone. "Audacious!" "Where did this beast come from, daring to run wild in my Black Lotus Sect!" Upon Blood Lotus Peak, Chief Disciple Li Tianhao roared loudly as a skyful of crimson petals soared up, condensing into a roaring dragon that crashed toward Little Nora. Little Nora had no intention of dodging whatsoever. Spreading her wings, she flapped, and invisible spatial power formed a blade that cleaved the dragon of petals in two like a hot knife through butter. After slicing through the dragon, the spatial blade lost none of its force and proceeded to cleave Blood Lotus Peak apart in the same sweep, obliterating that chief disciple before he even showed his face.
