Chapter 878: Chapter 873: Hand Over the Key

Seeing that Huang Xiaolong was merely at the Divine Level Second-stage Late Stage, Wangu Yanhui was somewhat surprised. Earlier, he thought that since Huang Xiaolong could travel with You Wuye, his strength shouldn’t be weak. But now, to his surprise, he was just a young Divine Level Second-stage Late Stage?

“Brother Wuye, I wonder how this friend should be addressed?” Wangu Yanhui asked You Wuye, referring to Huang Xiaolong.

You Wuye hesitated for a moment, looking at Huang Xiaolong with a questioning gaze.

Wangu Yanhui was even more surprised upon seeing this.

Among the two, it wasn’t You Wuye who was the leader? But this black-haired young man who appeared to be only at the Divine Level Second-stage Late Stage?

Just as Huang Xiaolong was about to speak, a mocking voice suddenly rang out: “Wangu Yanhui, since when did you start taking an interest in a mere Divine Level Second-stage Late Stage brat?”

Following this, a young man carrying a long sword flew into the Great Hall from another entrance.

This young man exuded an exceptionally fierce Sword Qi, radiating an intangible aura of slaughter. Once he entered the Great Hall, it was filled with his slaughter aura. Ordinary Divine-level third-stage disciples, if not strong-willed, might have their minds shattered by this aura before even approaching him.

“Zhou Yao.” Seeing the newcomer, You Wuye’s face changed slightly, eyes wary.

The newcomer was precisely Zhou Yao of the Zhou Family, currently ranked third on the charts.

Though Zhou Yao was ranked third, behind Wangu Yanhui, You Wuye was still more wary of him because Zhou Yao’s infamy for bloodlust had spread across several Star Rivers. He was a terrifying Killing God!

Zhou Yao killed without regard for who you were. If he didn’t like the look of you, you’d become a sacrifice to his sword.

“Heh, it’s quite lively here indeed. Wangu Yanhui, Zhou Yao, You Wuye, it seems I’m a step late.” Just as Zhou Yao entered the Great Hall, another young man flew in through one of the entrances.

This Great Hall had a total of eight entrances.

“Mu Qi.” You Wuye exclaimed in surprise again.

The newcomer was Mu Qi of the Mu Family, ranked fourth.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered. Meeting Wangu Yanhui could be a coincidence, but for Zhou Yao and Mu Qi to also appear in this Great Hall, could that also be a coincidence?

In this world, there aren’t such coincidences.

Everyone gathering in this Great Hall must be here for something within it.

Could it be that the Core Array is within this hall?

But how could everyone be so sure that the Core Array is in this hall?

Just as Huang Xiaolong was puzzled, Zhou Yao scanned those present, including him, and smiled coldly: “It seems you all have also obtained the key to activating the Core Array.”

The key to activating the Core Array!

Huang Xiaolong suddenly understood.

It appears Zhou Yao and the others obtained that key, which led them to this Great Hall where the Core Array is located.

From his words, Huang Xiaolong discerned there wasn’t just one key.

“There are five keys in total. Boy, did you acquire one of them?” Zhou Yao looked at Huang Xiaolong.

Since Huang Xiaolong and You Wuye arrived at this Great Hall together, it was no wonder Zhou Yao assumed both had keys, coming as a pair.

“However, you, a mere Divine Level Second-stage Late Stage boy, have no right to activate the Thunder God Mansion’s Core Array, much less claim the Thunder God’s possessions. I advise you to hand over the key now.” Zhou Yao continued, “In consideration of You Wuye, as long as you hand over the key, I won’t kill you.”

Huang Xiaolong suddenly chuckled and said to Zhou Yao, “Let me tell you the truth, we don’t have any key. We just happened upon this hall. However, if you hand over your key now, considering your Zhou Family, I might spare your life.”

As Huang Xiaolong spoke, everyone was stunned.

Wangu Yanhui and Mu Qi both shook their heads, looking at Huang Xiaolong with a pitying gaze, believing the boy to be as good as dead.

A mere Divine Level Second-stage Late Stage boy dared to threaten Zhou Yao?

Did he really think that with You Wuye around, he could protect him?

Zhou Yao was momentarily stunned, then remained silent. Instead, he looked at Huang Xiaolong coldly, his voice grim: “Boy, do you think with You Wuye here, I wouldn’t dare kill you? Today, no matter who you think can save you, they can’t.” With these words, his intangible Sword Qi surged, the aura of slaughter around him multiplying several times over.

The Great Hall echoed with a rumbling sound, streams of air forming into turbulent Sword Qi Storms.

Merely his slaughter aura could influence the surrounding spatial airflow, showcasing Zhou Yao’s strength.

Who knows how many strong ones fell at his hands to form such an astonishing aura of slaughter.

Zhou Yao stepped towards Huang Xiaolong, coldly saying to You Wuye: “You Wuye, today I must kill this boy. If you intervene, don’t blame me for taking care of you too.”

Although both were Divine-level Fourth-stage Early Stage, Zhou Yao’s true strength was evidently stronger than You Wuye’s by a margin, as reflected in the rankings.

Upon hearing this, You Wuye’s expression turned unsightly.

Though he was wary of Zhou Yao’s strength, he wasn’t afraid of him.

They weren’t too different in strength, and now Zhou Yao publicly rebuked him, fueling his temper.

Just as You Wuye was about to step forward, Huang Xiaolong suddenly raised a hand to block him, saying, “You should stand back.”

Though Huang Xiaolong’s voice was calm, it brooked no argument.

However, what surprised Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, and others was that You Wuye respectfully complied and stepped aside.

Seeing this, Zhou Yao squinted his eyes and coldly said, “Boy, I don’t care who you think you are. Today, I’ll kill you to reaffirm my path of slaughter.” With that, a flash of light enveloped him, and he vanished.

A brilliant Sword Light pierced the sky, slicing through it.

It seemed Zhou Yao had become one with the Sword Light.

This was truly Man Sword Unity!

Zhou Yao’s Sword Qi differed from You Wuye’s. You Wuye’s was unpredictable, hard to guard against, but Zhou Yao’s was outright domineering and direct—entirely slaughter-focused, killing everything with the energy of slaughter itself.

Watching this strike, even Wangu Yanhui was moved.

If not defended against, this strike could severely wound an ordinary Divine-level Fourth-stage Early Stage strong expert in an instant.

Just as Wangu Yanhui and Mu Qi were sure Huang Xiaolong would die, suddenly, the resplendent Sword Light halted. They looked over, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

The tip of Zhou Yao’s long sword was caught between Huang Xiaolong’s two fingers.

Zhou Yao looked utterly shocked.

It was blocked?

No, it was caught!

Not paying any mind to their stunned expressions, Huang Xiaolong exerted his fingers, and Zhou Yao’s Slaughter Sword, forged from some precious Refined Ore from the Divine World, shattered into several sections.

Then, with a flick of his fingers, a segment of the broken sword pierced through Zhou Yao’s heart, coming out the other side.

The segment of the sword pierced into the Great Hall’s wall, leaving a gaping hole.
