Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Not long after, a thin Martial Soul Realm expert who emitted a powerful aura successfully found the Heavenly Mystery Box in a big tree in Bixin City.
However, as soon as he obtained the Heavenly Mystery Box, another Martial Soul Realm expert arrived. The two sides immediately started fighting over it.
Boom!
A commotion broke out in Bixin City. The shocking destruction caused by the battle between Martial Soul Realm experts also caused the houses and buildings in Bixin City to collapse continuously.
It was difficult not to notice such a huge commotion. This caused the Martial Soul Realm experts in the other locations to rush over after sensing that someone was attacking. After knowing that they were fighting for the Heavenly Mystery Box, they also joined in.
Under the continuous exchange of blows between these Martial Soul Realm experts, the entire Bixin City became a battlefield for Martial Soul Realm experts.
Even though the others were extremely tempted by the Heavenly Mystery Box, they could not participate in a battle of this level at all. Even if they approached slightly, it would be dangerous. They could only watch from afar.
However, just as these Martial Soul Realm experts were fighting intensely, a shocking pressure suddenly came from above the city, making everyone in the city feel as if they were being suppressed by a huge mountain.
Even the Martial Soul Realm experts who were fighting trembled under this terrifying pressure. The pressure multiplied and they could not continue attacking.
Everyone raised their heads with difficulty and stared at the figure floating in the sky above Bixin City. He was a slender man in a black brocade robe. His skin was pale and he had a refined aura.
He was different from the previous Gong Li who needed a flying shuttle to float in the air. This person stepped on the void. This was completely relying on his own ability to float in the air! The terrifying pressure emitted by his body made everyone below clearly realize that this was an existence above the Martial Soul Realm!
In front of him, even these powerful Martial Soul Realm experts trembled and could not continue fighting.
The elegant man, whose cultivation was far above the Martial Soul Realm, raised his hand and grabbed below. The Heavenly Mystery Box below immediately flew out and into the elegant man’s hand.
The others could only watch helplessly. No matter how unwilling they were, there was nothing they could do. Under the absolute difference in strength, they did not even have the qualifications to compete with him.
They could only watch helplessly as the Heavenly Mystery Box fell into the other party’s hands.
As he obtained the Heavenly Mystery Box, the elegant man did not stay here any longer. His figure flashed. It disappeared from everyone’s sight. From the moment he appeared to the moment he left, it did not take more than ten seconds.
However, his figure left an indelible impression on everyone’s minds.
The Martial Soul Realm martial artists felt even more bitter. They fought here for a long time, but in the end, the Heavenly Mystery Box fell into the hands of this expert who suddenly appeared.
Therefore, they could only sigh and accept their fate. In the face of absolute strength, they were not qualified to compete with him.
But soon, some of them thought of the person who occupied Bixin City and was suspected to be a demonic faction. If they could find him and kill him, even if their gains were not as great as obtaining the Heavenly Mystery Box, it was not small either!
In an instant, these Martial Soul Realm experts immediately began to pursue the person from the demonic faction who had occupied the Bixin City.
In Bixin City,
Xiao Shi hid in the crowd and witnessed the entire process. Everything was as he had planned. The entire development of the situation happened according to the outcome he had expected. He knew very well how attractive the Heavenly Mystery Box was to everyone.
As long as he spread the rumors about the Heavenly Mystery Box to the outside world, he would be able to attract all these experts to Bixin City. Once these experts arrived, the Martial Soul Realm expert in Bixin City would definitely be unable to continue upgrading his soul artifact.
Although he had lost the Heavenly Mystery Box because of this, his Heavenly Mystery Box was empty to begin with. There was nothing inside. It was just an empty box.
“Then… it’s time to carry out the follow-up to this plan.” A cold glint flashed across Xiao Shi’s eyes.
The plan he had formulated this time was divided into two steps.
The first step was to attract many experts to Bixin City through the Heavenly Mystery Box. Through these experts, he would not be able to continue upgrading his soul artifact, and he could save the people of the Red Tiger Sect.
And the second step was to take advantage of this Martial Soul Realm expert’s escape and not caring about the Blood Martial Realm servants under him, he would kill all these Blood Martial Realm servants!
Now, these Blood Martial Realm servants had also escaped from Bixin City at the same time.
However, the direction they fled in was not the same as Shen Feng. Through the blood seals left on these Blood Martial Realm servants, Xiao Shi could clearly sense their location, even if they were far apart. The perception brought about by the blood seal was still not affected at all. It was still extremely clear.
Before he started hunting these Blood Martial Realm servants, Xiao Shi first went to check on Guo Chengdao and the others. Now, Guo Chengdao and the others had all returned to normal. Apart from being pale and weak, there was nothing else abnormal. After confirming that they were safe and sound, Xiao Shi quietly left Bixin City.
Swoosh!
With one step, his figure instantly disappeared. He directly entered the lunar state. At the same time, two black pauldrons appeared on his shoulders. The moment these two pauldrons appeared, it began to reassemble.
During the reassembly, the pauldrons on Xiao Shi’s left and right seemed to have transformed into two spread wings.
With a thought, a pair of huge black wings suddenly appeared on the two wing-like pauldron. While it flapped, Xiao Shi’s body left the ground and floated up. He had achieved a flight that ordinary Blood Martial Realm martial artists could not do.
Swoosh!
His figure flashed in the air.
The flying speed brought about by the Martial Emperor’s Pauldron was already astonishing. Coupled with the fact that he was still in a lunar state, his entire speed had increased a lot from his original foundation.
It caused him to fly at high speed.
Not long after, he saw one of the Blood Martial Realm servants fleeing in the distance. This person was already very fast. However, compared to Xiao Shi, who was flying above, it still seemed extremely slow. He was easily caught by Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi looked down at the Blood Martial Realm servant. Through these few days of observation, he had long known that this person had reached the second blood realm. If it was in the past, he would definitely not be able to deal with this Blood Martial Realm.
But now…
Buzz!
The blood seal on this Blood Martial Realm servant immediately emitted a blood light that only Xiao Shi could see. The Intrinsic Martial Blood in his body instantly flowed uncontrollably towards the blood seal and continuously gathered in it, becoming nutrients for it. It caused the entire blood seal to grow and expand at a visible speed.
“This… what!!” The sudden change in his body made the Blood Martial Realm servant’s expression change drastically. He tried his best to control the Intrinsic Martial Blood in his body, but he realized that it was completely out of his control.
It kept flowing away. He could not see the blood seal in his body, nor could he sense it. Therefore, he could only sense that his Intrinsic Martial Blood was constantly flowing away and did not know that his Intrinsic Martial Blood was becoming nutrients for the blood seal.
“What exactly… what exactly is this!?” He was going crazy. He had never encountered or even heard of such a situation before. As his Intrinsic Martial Blood constantly flowed, he became weaker and weaker.
This Blood Martial Realm servant was far from the only one who lost his Intrinsic Martial Blood. In all directions, the same situation happened to the Blood Martial Realm servants who had been left with blood seals by Xiao Shi.
Previously, Xiao Shi was worried that they would notice. Therefore, he did not touch them. But now, Xiao Shi no longer has to care about anything.. It directly absorbed their intrinsic martial blood through the blood seal!
