Chapter 483: No. 1 on the threat rankings, No. 1 on Tianxia’s wanted list!
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
At this moment, the entire world was utterly silent. Only the subtle sound of the Void Engine at full power, unleashing its powerful energy, could be heard. Beyond that, there was no other murmur. The terrifying aura of both sides seemed to silence all other sounds.
"Five Grandmasters!?"
On the far right of the Flying Upgrade Camp, a slender, exquisite mecha, with twelve pairs of blazing white, high-temperature wings, hovered slightly. Gao Yu, the operator of the Holy Light Angel, looked down, his pupils shrinking to the size of a pinpoint.
"Since they are waiting for us here."
"I'm afraid Tian Feng has already..."
Nearby, a purple-gold mech spoke fearfully. This person was Tian Feng's good friend, Yuan Qing, the Supreme Councilor of the Metal Council. He controlled the "Purple Gold King," a super-class mech renowned for its terrifying speed and attack power.
"You... killed Tian Feng?"
At the forefront of the team, a purplish-blue mecha, over five meters tall, exuded a terrifying aura. The mecha was symmetrical and harmonious, majestic and dignified. Beneath its translucent armor, a shimmering dragon-like form emerged, circling continuously like stars. Its shoulders were capped by two ferocious gilded dragon heads, each holding a vast, pure white, particle-like cloak in its mouth, extending nearly a hundred meters.
Vice Chairman of the Metal Council, Hua Fei, "Sky Star Dragon King".
His voice rumbled, with a hint of gloom and anger.
Before leaving, Heitian had instructed the Metal Council to resolve the issue on their own during this period. However, just days after his departure, Bai Tang escaped, and even Councillor Tian Feng, a high-ranking member, was suspected of having died.
As the deputy speaker, Hua Fei has to bear great responsibility.
"He's dead."
Below, a golden dragon-elephant figure stood calm and composed. He offered no threats or counterattacks, simply stating the facts.
It was as if Tianfeng’s death was insignificant.
"Good, very good!"
"Are you from the Secret Martial Arts Realm planning to go against our Metal Council?!"
Hua Fei laughed angrily, his voice became stern, and the pressure of the Tianxing Dragon King mecha suddenly rose, like the roar of a giant dragon wandering in the starry sky.
He saw so many masters blocking his way and even conspiring to kill Tianfeng, and he thought that the entire secret martial arts world wanted to break off relations with the Metal Council.
“Hehehe…”
However, his anger was met with a deep laugh.
"despair."
The leading dragon-elephant phantom took a step forward, its glazed golden light instantly fading, revealing the hazy outline of a human face. Simultaneously, the four terrifying phantoms beside it also took a step forward, revealing their faces.
Five shadowy figures of the Grandmaster spoke simultaneously with overwhelming voices.
"Sorry, it's not the Secret Martial Realm."
"But I, White Owl, alone will be the enemy of your Metal Council!"
"What can you do to me!?"
Instantly, the four highest councilors of the Metal Council gasped, their pupils constricting violently. The five Grandmasters before them had been in combat mode, invisible. Now, returning to their normal state, they all bore the face of White Owl!
Bai Xiao could actually transform into five great masters by himself!?
The next second, a surging platinum-colored aura swept over, like a tide covering the heavens and earth, rumbling and crushing the entire space. White Owl's five clones attacked simultaneously, reentering combat form, transforming into various terrifying phantoms and unleashing the ultimate power of the five forbidden secret weapons!
"One Tianfeng is not enough."
"You guys, stay with me too!!!"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
On October 5th, at 6:00 PM, the most astonishing battle in nearly thirty years erupted at the border of Chongshan Province and Donghai Province. Nearly a dozen Grandmaster-level warriors engaged in a frenzied, devastating battle.
The terrifying force shook the universe, annihilating any remaining clouds. Every factory and road in the suburbs was completely destroyed. A dozen peaks were shattered, and vast tracts of forest, measured in hectares, were destroyed. Rivers evaporated, and giant craters were everywhere, as if a massive meteorite had fallen.
Even the terrain of the surrounding area has been changed.
This battle lasted for half an hour.
Finally, Vice Speaker Hua Fei, at a crucial moment, used the "Perpetual Motion Cube," one of the Metal Council's most valuable assets, to block the terrifying attacks of White Owl's five clones. They survived, holding out until the clone time expired. However, they still paid the price of one death and three injuries. One of the upgraded mechas was surrounded and killed by White Owl's clones during the battle. Later, its remains were taken away by the Flying Immortal clone.
The Metal Council suffered heavy losses. In just one afternoon, two flying-level upgrades fell in succession, and all died at the hands of the same person.
late at night.
The Metal Council raised the threat ranking and issued a wanted order.
Number one on the threat ranking list is the White Owl of the Dragon Clan!
The first on Tianxia’s wanted list is Longzong Baixiao!
…
October 5th, 6:30 pm, Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School.
The owner's residence, inside the living room.
Four figures sat in front of the table, just like an ordinary family, enjoying a very homely dinner, which made people feel extremely at ease.
Bai Tang was still a little frightened at first, but soon calmed down after seeing his grandparents, enjoying the hard-earned warm atmosphere.
Soon, the two old men went to the room to rest.
Only Bai Xiao and Bai Tang were left in the living room.
Bai Tang opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, wondering where to begin. Just as he was about to speak, a window suddenly flew open from the side of the living room. A white-golden, ethereal figure, with a whoosh, quickly merged into Bai Xiao's body. In the distance, a straight white light streak could be seen in the sky, apparently flying all the way from the north at high speed.
“Boom.”
At the same time, at the back mountain, there seemed to be a sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
In Bai Xiao's hand, however, was a dark core resembling a mechanical heart. The metal writhed and cleaved frantically, churning non-stop. A mysterious wave of power surged into the depths of the void, as if drawing endless energy.
"This is, the Void Engine?"
Bai Tang recognized it immediately and couldn't help but speak.
"Yeah, killed another one."
Bai Xiao had a faint smile on his face and his voice was calm.
Bai Tang was shocked again when he heard this. Just now, his brother killed a flying upgrade to save him, and half an hour ago, his clone cut off the rear and killed another flying upgrade! Flying upgrades weren't easy to kill. It was clear that Bai Xiao's strength was unpredictable and terrifying to the extreme.
"Brother, how did you..."
Bai Tang hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.
Next, the two chatted and communicated for more than an hour.
Bai Xiao briefly recounted his experiences attending martial arts classes, joining the Fierce Bird School, winning the Dark World Fighting Tournament, serving in the Martial Arts Association, winning the Martial Arts Performance Tournament, and his numerous encounters with the Court of Demons. He spoke lightly, yet Bai Tang sensed the danger within. It was clear how much effort and sweat Bai Xiao had expended to achieve his current status. Of course, there were also cheats involved. But cheating was also a natural talent, and there was nothing wrong with Bai Xiao relying on talent and hard work.
Then, Bai Tang also described what he had experienced.
Bai Xiao had remained relatively calm throughout the entire conversation, until Bai Tang suggested that he might be the reincarnation of the Pale Sky General, sent to this world by the Machine Master for a mysterious final plan. As for the Dark Sky General, the Speaker of the Metal Council, he wasn't a reincarnation, so this outsider was periodically expelled from this world before being allowed back in. The fact that the Metal Council's pursuers just now didn't include the Dark Sky General, only the Vice Speaker, might be the reason. The Dark Sky General had left this world.
Bai Tang also recounted how he had fused some of Cang Tianjiang's memories and powers, a mysterious gear core. However, the gear core had been taken away by Hei Tianjiang and was no longer in Bai Tang's possession. Even so, the small portion of memories Bai Tang had obtained was already invaluable.
The white owl listened attentively.
He finally understood why the Machine Master and the other Origins were so obsessed with descending upon this world. White Owl's world was a vast world, second only to the Big Dipper, capable of producing the precious "Heavenly Heart of Origin." This object held immense benefits for the Origins. The Machine Master was ready to act, and with the help of the Metal Council, they would force the "Heavenly Heart of Origin" out of this world, and then the two Heavenly Generals, Black and White, would complete the final harvest.
After the Machine Master absorbed the "Heavenly Heart of Origin" of this world, he could descend in his true form and completely encompass the entire vast world within his grasp. Otherwise, the world's repulsion would be too great. After all, this was a vast world, and even if it was the origin, it wouldn't be so easy to forcefully descend and intrude.
"Origin of the Heart of Heaven, Origin of the Heart of Heaven..."
Upon hearing the name, Bai Xiao muttered to himself, his eyes growing brighter. He instantly thought of his own inverted cause and effect enhancement. Didn't it require a vast amount of terrifying power on the same level as the Origin? The power condensed from a giant world, the Origin Heart coveted by all the major Origin beings, if absorbed by his own enhancement...
Is there a chance that the five root authorities will be born completely?
Thoughts surged in Bai Xiao's mind, as if a warm current was surging in his chest.
He wasn't sure if the Origin Heart had such an effect, but the only thing he was sure of was that it had to be kept out of the hands of the Metal Council! And the Demon Court! If the Demon Court encountered such an opportunity, they would definitely come out in full force.
"No matter what, the Origin Heart must fall into my hands."
Bai Xiao muttered to himself, having already made up his mind.
According to Bai Tang, the Metal Council's final plan is not far off. Originally, they intended to completely merge Bai Tang's memories with Cang Baijiang's, swapping their personalities before launching the plan. However, a change has occurred, and the final plan may be advanced or delayed. Bai Xiao needs to raise his power to its peak within a short period of time.
To ensure that we can intervene strongly when the Origin Tianxin is born!
Fight for it.
After a conversation.
Bai Xiao used his aura to examine Bai Tang's body and also studied the pale mecha he controlled. Ultimately, he determined that Bai Tang's influence from the Pale White General had ceased. As long as he didn't continue fusing the gear core imbued with the Pale White General's power, there was no risk of him becoming a Pale White General.
"Xiaotang."
"You need to adapt to and study this power carefully."
"If applied to the extreme, it might be able to directly reach super-level upgrades."
Bai Xiao could feel that there was still a powerful force hidden in Bai Tang's body, which was the ability of the Pale White General that had not been digested in a short period of time.
Bai Tang was originally the reincarnation of the Cang Bai Jiang, so there were no major obstacles in unleashing his power. However, he needed to gradually integrate his power before he could unleash his full potential.
late at night.
Bai Tang and President Ouyang, who hurried to Qunxiang Mountain, discussed the matter in detail again.
He informed President Ouyang of the Metal Council's intentions, stating that they would sooner or later rip their relationship with the Martial Arts Association apart and become its ultimate enemy. The fact that Bai Xiao was listed as number one on the threat list and Tianxia's most wanted list was a sign that the Martial Arts Association could no longer maintain its superficial cooperative relationship.
It would be better to turn against each other completely.
Guild President Ouyang was shocked several times during the two-hour meeting. First, he was amazed that Bai Xiao had killed two flying upgrades in a row, and then he felt the intense pressure of the arrival of the Machine Master. Finally, Ouyang Ming sighed deeply.
"I've long expected this day to come."
"But I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
"But you did a good job, Master Bai."
"After killing two people in a row, we have already reached the highest level. Originally, there were nine people in the Tianxia Federation who were able to ascend, but now there are only seven left." He patted Bai Xiao's shoulder and praised him generously...
"The power of the Metal Council cannot be solely determined by the Tianxia Federation. If they truly want to carry out that final plan, with the will of the Machine Master behind them, then the world's most powerful fighters will likely come to their aid."
"As for the secret martial arts world, there's no unified voice. Even if they instinctively resist, they definitely don't have the cohesion of the Metal Council..."
Bai Xiao said calmly.
Then he made a suggestion.
"I suggest that all nine of the Tianxia Federation's upgraded fighters be put on the Martial Arts Association's wanted list. Including the two I killed earlier..."
President Ouyang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Since they have put you on the wanted list, our Martial Arts Association should also fight back."
After half an hour, the conversation ended.
President Ouyang returned to the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association and began a meeting with the two old presidents overnight to discuss the news he received from Bai Xiao.
…
October 6th, 1 a.m.
The Martial Arts Association suddenly announced that all nine of the Tianxia Federation Metal Council's most upgraded fighters were on the wanted list, causing an uproar in the entire secret martial arts world.
Are the two largest forces in the world about to fall out?!
Qunxiang Mountain, Longxiang Martial Arts School, and Wudao Courtyard.
Bai Xiao stood quietly, with his right hand slightly raised. Two mechanical hearts containing terrifying energy were suspended in the air, rotating back and forth like twin stars.
The cause and effect are reversed, and it is already crying out for food, constantly flashing with light.
But Bai Xiao remained indifferent.
Until before my eyes, a black message fell down quickly.
[Your mission is "Catch the Murderer", experience +110,000!]
[Your mission is "Catch the Murderer"; experience +107,000!]
His eyes moved downwards and froze on the spot.
[Mission: Apprehend the Murderer (Total Reward: 217,000)]
