Condemning the Heavens Chapter 235

Xue Wei glanced down at every member of the Genius Camp. He scanned them with disinterest. Executing everyone here would be as simple as killing chickens, but he was not interested in doing so. 

Although he was here to avenge Tie Haolong, he had no intention of venting his rage on civilians or people who had no part in the events of that day. 

After seeing their commander die such a swift death, the experts that had planned to rush into the air to assist him sobered up and understood that they were not his match. 

Xue Wei used his spiritual energy to scan the area. A few people seemed familiar; some of them had been the loudest voices when he was condemned. 

Inner Might: Qi Arrow Style!

Arrows made from Qi appeared on his hands and with a simple gesture. They shot at the experts that were hiding. They were the ones who did not expect Xue Wei to snuff them out so cleanly, and thus they never managed to even let out a scream before the arrows struck them.

The moment the arrows reached their mark, they turned into giant dragons of qi that roared loudly, releasing their energy and killing the experts on the spot. Their bodies exploded into a bloody mist. They could not handle the overwhelming power imbued into the Qi dragons.

After finishing off the people who had taken part in causing Xue Wei's downfall, Xue Wei glanced at the rest a second time before he snorted and left, leaving them heaving heavy sighs of relief. It seemed as if they had escaped a great calamity. 

Xue Wei returned to the capital after a short flight. When he arrived, he saw his friends who were in the air at the exact same spot as they had been when he left. However, he could smell the pungent smell of blood this time. 

Looking down, he saw that there were quite a few people who had died in their attempts to escape. 

"Thank you," Xue Wei knew that these people would never bully the weak like this if not for him, and he felt grateful. Amongst the dead, he had recognized quite a few faces. 

"I have no intention of executing you all," Xue Wei announced to the city with a voice enhanced by Qi, making the still and silent place suddenly perk up with hope.

"When I was last here, everyone was willing to attack me. Everyone was willing to kill an innocent soul just to get me, and thus I want all involved in the hunt of me and my friend to die."

"Everyone, make a heavenly oath! Make a heavenly oath that states that you took no part in the chase of me and my brother Tie Haolong. Those who survive this oath will be allowed to live."

"Now take the oath, or I will bathe the city in blood. I will not let even the animals escape this fate!" 

One after another, they began swearing the oath. It was mainly the citizens who swore. The higher-ups were not willing to do it. They knew they could not contend with a heavenly oath, and thus they would most likely die. 

"I will take you on!" someone screamed out loud as he flew into the air. "I do not believe that you can take care of all of us!" another yelled, and suddenly everyone with a guilty conscience flew into the air ready to face Xue Wei and his friends. 

Around a hundred to two hundred experts flew up into the air. They glared at Xue Wei and his companions.

"You cannot kill us all!" someone sneered. Xue Wei chuckled. He lifted his hand and a stream of Qi spiraled around his arm like a big azure dragon. 

Xue Wei looked at the masses, contemplating how to deal with them all. He would have a hard time killing them off if they scattered about in every direction, but they, fortunately for him, did not seem to be planning to do so. 

They were a lot of experts against only four. Even if their cultivation bases were lower than Xue Wei and his friends, the sheer amount of experts on their side gave them courage. 

Xue Wei was relieved. He did not believe that they could actually pose any threat to him, but he did know that he would be helpless if they decided to flee. Since they had no intention of fleeing, then he had a chance to execute them all. 

"Gou, take care of anyone who flees," Xue Wei ordered, and Hei Gou nodded his head, taking the task very solemnly. 

"Xiao, I doubt you are willing to participate in the slaughter of common folk. Although they have bad blood with me, they have done nothing wrong to you. Having you kill them might just give you a heart demon."

"Tianyi, you support Gou in hunting the ones that flee. I doubt you can even get a heart demon, so don't hold back!" 

Bai Tianyi smiled wryly. It was true that he could not get a heart demon, but he had never thought that Xue Wei could have guessed this.

The truth was that the only ones who had experienced the torment of that dreadful chase was Xue Wei and Hei Gou. If they did not vent the frustrations in their hearts when given the chance, it was possible that they would end up with a heart demon.

But these were all Heavenly Warriors. Killing them should be simple. Someone like Bai Tianyi who had been at the apex of the world regarded Heavenly Warriors as ants. 

To actually entertain the idea of letting them flee was something he had never once considered. This was the arrogance that came with having been at the very peak of the world. 

Xue Wei had become unbelievably strong compared to his past self. He had climbed to where he was by walking on a mountain of corpses, through a river of blood. He had fought in an untold number of life and death situations. 

He was prideful, but he was not arrogant. He knew his own ability and that he could not properly put an end to this feud should they start fleeing. 

He could kill them one at a time, or he could transform into an Azure Dragon and straight out chomp down on them one after the other– maybe even take a few at a time now that his awakened bloodline had increased his other form's size. 

Xue Wei's eyes suddenly brightened. Since he had awakened his bloodline, this also meant that he had awakened his innate abilities. 

One of those abilities was to create a Qi Azure Dragon – a copy of himself – that would have the exact same strength as himself for a period of time. Naturally, it came with a heavy price. 

The price to summon a Qi Azure Dragon was that he would use basically half of his total Qi, and it would permanently cost him a layer of cultivation afterwards. 

This layer would not be returned to him – he would have to cultivate it back up the same way he had done previously.

There were two kinds of Qi Azure Dragons. One was the regular Qi Azure Dragon, and the other was a Devouring Qi Azure Dragon.

The regular Qi Azure Dragon was able to last for the time it took to eat a meal, while the Devouring Azure Dragon only lasted for as long as it took to brew a cup of tea. 

The Devouring Qi Azure Dragon was capable of absorbing the cultivation base of the ones it consumed and directly deliver that to its controller. 

Although the Devouring Qi Azure Dragon could run rampant for the time it took to brew a cup of tea, it was susceptible to group fire. So while it could absorb a lot, but the risks were also similarly heavy. 

Xue Wei decided to summon the Devouring Qi Azure Dragon. Qi flowed out of his body liked a whirlpool in front of him, swiftly manifesting into the shape of a hundred meter long dragon. 

It was abnormally detailed; the scales on the body glistened in the sunshine, and the teeth were so razor sharp that the crowd below felt a chill down their spine. The eyes of this azure dragon were not devoid of life. They were actually filled with battle intent. It seemed as if it had an intelligence of its own. 

Only Xue Wei knew that the Azure Dragon Spirit from his dantian had entered this Devouring Qi Azure Dragon and was controlling it.

"Go, my Devouring Dragon," Xue Wei muttered with a strange smile on his face. The many experts were observing the scene with great fear in their hearts. They knew he was doing something, but they could not figure out who the attack was aimed at.

The dragon's long body was coiled around Xue Wei. Its large head suddenly faced the skies and released a thundering roar that made every single person in the city feel tremors running through their bodies. The humans in the capital had a hard time withstanding this strength. 

Some of them spat blood. Some were thrown backward from the shockwave. All the faces of the Heavenly Warriors in the sky were ugly. 

"Everyone, gather together – send your strongest attack at that dragon!" The King was the first to speak. Although he had not wanted to take part in this, he knew he had no choice since it had ultimately been his choice to use Tie Haolong as bait to lure Xue Wei out. 

If he had taken the oath, he would have died on the spot, so fighting for his life was his only option. Since he had reached the point where he was fighting for his life, he stood in the middle of the entire group. Many had the thought of protecting him, as he was after all the kingdom's king. 

There were even some deathsworn that had sought to avoid this confrontation who had flown into the air to protect their king. 

As soon as the roar had been released, the Azure Dragon and Xue Wei made their moves. They attacked from one side each. The dragon chomped down on one expert after another; the moment its victims entered its mouth, strings of Azure Qi Dragons entered their body and consumed their cultivation bases before they simply imploded into a bloody mist from the inside out, leaving not even an intact corpse behind.

On the other side, Xue Wei had used Inner Might: Qi Sword Style. He used the Qi sword with a flourish. Xue Wei was much faster than the Heavenly Warriors in aerial combat. 

Every flourish of his sword took off their heads from their necks with the same effort it took him to breathe; and with his speed, no one could escape from him.

Within a mere five minutes, more than half of the experts had been either fed to the dragon or executed by Xue Wei. Even though his cultivation base had dropped a layer to the sixth level of the Ordinary Knight rank, it did not change that fact that he was dominant in every imaginable way against them. 

Xue Wei looked at his Devouring Qi Azure Dragon. It had lost quite a bit of its strength, but it was still fighting on. In its stomach was the Azure Dragon Spirit that had consumed the cultivation bases of around ninety Heavenly Warriors. When it returns to Xue Wei's body at some point, those would serve as nourishment for Xue Wei's cultivation base. Still, it was limited what the cultivation bases of Heavenly Warriors could do for him, even if there were this many. 

Looking at the remaining thirty experts, Xue Wei could see the undisguised fear in their eyes. It had merely taken five minutes, but more than a hundred experts had been wiped out in that time. This was not a fight – this was a direct slaughter!
