Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Red-faced Demon Leader
The Bloody Red Altar was constructed entirely out of stone and consisted of several dozen buildings. It was evident that these Devil Path followers knew how to enjoy themselves. This place, even though it was just a temporary base, was decorated properly.
In one of the three-story buildings in the middle, a middle-aged man with a red face suddenly opened his eyes, and a chilling glimmer emanated from them.
"Those idiots, why haven’t they returned yet?"
The red-faced man was upset. He was the leader of the Bloody Red Altar, the ’Red-faced Demon Leader,’ Qiu Wunan."
The perfection of the Infant Eating Great Method not only allowed Qiu Wunan to enhance his power but also greatly boosted his confidence. Now, he couldn’t wait to practice the more advanced Woman Devouring Great Method.
"I’ll start by using three hundred young girls as a foundation and at the same time take over the Golden Phoenix Tower and the Knife Assistance Gang."
A hint of a smirk that only men could understand appeared on Qiu Wunan’s face.
When practicing the Woman Devouring Method, a woman’s qualification is crucial.
Qiu Wunan once noticed Su Yanru from afar. With his exposure to countless women, he immediately established that she was a natural seductress. She was the perfect choice for practicing the Woman Devouring Great Method.
Qiu Wunan was overjoyed to think that he could carry out the Demon Lord’s task, have beauties at his disposal, and enhance his power at the same time.
"Leader, we have a serious problem," a Bloody Red Altar expert shouted outside the door, and his voice showed panic.
"What happened?" Qiu Wunan replied coldly, disgruntled by the interruption.
"Someone has invaded the Bloody Red Altar and is coming this way."
...
With one hand holding a small leader and the other brandishing a sword, Shi Xiaole disabled anyone who attempted to ambush him, leaving them with severed hands, mutilated feet, and pitiful howls of pain.
Some people tried to attack him from all sides. As soon as the sword light flashed, heads fell, and not even Shi Xiaole’s sleeve was touched.
The Bloody Red Altar’s devil experts were going insane.
Since they entered the Cloud Triangle, they had faced many experts, but never someone like this.
Not only did Shi Xiaole invade the Bloody Red Altar alone, but he also slaughtered massively without blinking an eye. Who was the real devil?
"What’s happening?"
"It looks like someone from the Righteous Path has invaded."
In the northwest corner of the square, a group of haggard and disheveled young men and women were looking towards the scene of action.
One of them was, astonishingly, an old acquaintance of Shi Xiaole, the ’Wish-fulfilling Little Spear King’ Wang Yangming.
Not long ago, Wang Yangming and some of his friends were acting as heroes in the area when they overheard some rumors and secretly came to investigate.
Unfortunately, as soon as they arrived, they were discovered by Qiu Wunan and fell into his grasp.
Their experiences during this period could only be described as harrowing and touch-and-go.
Every one of them, including Wang Yangming, had suffered endless torture. Just a few days ago, some of their comrades were killed by these devilish people.
Wang Yangming and the others had lost hope of escaping, their only wish being to die quickly and avoid further humiliation.
"Brother Wang, someone is here to save us," a pale-faced girl beside him said.
Wang Yangming couldn’t bear to disappoint her and said, "Yes, we must survive," but he was filled with sadness, feeling that the future was nothing but darkness.
The screams were continuous, and in a short while, Shi Xiaole and the small leader had arrived at the center of the Bloody Red Altar.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a roar filled with towering rage came from the distance.
With a few somersaults, Qiu Wunan landed in the center of the square. When he saw the scene, his eyes filled with a strong killing intent. He glared at Shi Xiaole and said grimly, "Did you kill these people?"
"Who else could it be, other than me?"
Shi Xiaole casually let go of the small leader, who had turned pale and was completely limp, and responded indifferently.
"Brother Shi, it’s you?!"
With the crowd parting, Wang Yangming finally saw the invader’s face and couldn’t help yelling.
Then, he suddenly realized something and hissed, "Brother Shi, you need to leave. Spread the news about this place so that the righteous experts can come to destroy this devil’s den."
The other young people also realized what was happening and shouted in unison.
At the moment, Shi Xiaole was their only hope. They didn’t want to lose him as well due to impulsive action.
"Are you planning on leaving?"
Qiu Wunan sneered coldly. But thinking that Shi Xiaole dared to invade the place alone, he must have backing. So, he asked, "Who sent you here, boy?"
Qiu Wunan was not worried about Shi Xiaole alone. He was worried that the Righteous Path followers had already discovered this place, which would be a problem.
"No one sent me. I alone am enough to deal with you."
Shi Xiaole’s words made Qiu Wunan burst into laughter.
His laughter was filled with an uncontrollable killing intent.
"In that case, die."
Bang!
Qiu Wunan used his Qi Absorption at the peak of the fifth tier to send a heavy palm strike forward. The palm wind was as solid as a mountain, giving a sensation of invincibility and impossibility to resist.
By using the Golden Goose Skill, Shi Xiaole deftly retreated.
But the small leader and the Bloody Red Altar experts behind who couldn’t evade in time were in trouble. They were directly hit by the palm wind, their organs shattered, and died on the spot.
"Brother Shi, don’t engage them in a fight," Wang Yangming shouted again, extremely anxious.
No one understood the strength of Qiu Wunan better than him. To put it bluntly, most of the Sect Masters who attended the Cloud Sky Meeting couldn’t stand against him for even three moves.
So how could Shi Xiaole, who was just a standout disciple not long after the Cloud Sky Meeting, be a match for him?
"So young master, you think after killing a few experts of the Bloody Red Altar, you can compete with Qiu Wunan?"
The other young people were also helpless, filled with worry and pain.
"Moluo Palm!"
Not wanting to lose time, Qiu Wunan pushed out his hands. Layer upon layer of black palm prints were sent towards Shi Xiaole, leaving him no chance to react.
This was his unique martial art skill, even a casual Fifth Tier Qi Absorption expert wouldn’t stand a chance to block it.
Whoosh.
This time, Shi Xiaole did not dodge. He swung his arm, and the frantic light of his blade engulfed the black palm prints.
With a hissing sound, both attacks disintegrated into nothingness at the same time.
"He blocked it?"
Wang Yangming and others were greatly shaken, suspecting that it was an illusion.
A Qi Absorption Tier One martial artist blocking the unique skill of a Qi Absorption Tier Five expert was already unimaginable. Yet, Shi Xiaole seemed to do it quite effortlessly.
"Senior Brother Wang, who exactly is this guy?"
The girl next to him widened her bright eyes, emitting an extremely intense light.
"He is the Shi Xiaole I told you about, the ’Double Excellence of Sword and Saber,’ Shi Xiaole."
Wang Yangming muttered.
Thump thump thump.
Having his unique skill blocked, Qiu Wunan was more shocked and angry than anyone else. This time, he exerted his full strength and rushed forward to attack.
You could clearly see Qiu Wunan’s footwork, advancing and retreating, shifting left and dodging right; after several consecutive movements, it was impossible to guess his next move.
Third-grade top-level flying skill, Flash Step.
In the wuxia world, third-grade top-level flying skills were pretty rare, and short-range footwork even more so. By using this Flash Step, Qiu Wunan had once easily killed an expert of the Righteous Path on the same level as him.
He believed that Shi Xiaole couldn’t dodge either.
But the facts proved him wrong, deeply and terribly so.
The instant Qiu Wunan employed the Flash Step, Shi Xiaole also employed his Tianluo Footwork. Their silhouettes interweaved as if two needles inserted into each other’s loopholes.
After a short while, the green shadow began to gain the upper hand, gradually surrounding the black shadow.
"What kind of freak is this kid?"
Qiu Wunan became more and more shocked as he fought, a wave of shock surging within him.
Flying skills, especially short-range ones, were very taxing for a martial artist’s comprehension and spirituality. Qiu Wunan had spent several years mastering the Flash Step.
But this level of mastery, when compared to Shi Xiaole, seemed like mechanically repeating moves.
The opponent’s every move was truly masterful. Each step he took exuded an impressive agility, not at all sticking to the rules of footwork itself.
Dozens of moves later.
Qiu Wunan irritatingly found that if it wasn’t for his superior internal power, he might have already been defeated by this young man across from him.
Boom!
A surge of purple internal energy suddenly gushed out from Shi Xiaole, fiercely pressing towards Qiu Wunan.
"Impossible!"
Caught off guard by this impact, Qiu Wunan also exploded with the power that the Infant Eating Great Method bestowed upon him.
As his internal power was higher, and he had already mastered the Infant Eating Great Method to perfection, the impact of his unleashed internal power greatly surpassed that of Yintong. This time, he only encountered minor problems. But the shock in his heart was simply indescribable.
Regulating his breath slowly, Qiu Wunan said in a gloomy tone, "If only you weren’t so reckless, rushing in here, your future accomplisments would have been great. But unfortunately, today, you are doomed to die."
In the midst of speaking, he once again used his Flash Step. But this time, his hands were quickly moving, producing a red shadow which rapidly fell onto Shi Xiaole’s head.
Facing this strike, Shi Xiaole felt as if his blood was boiling, his hands and feet out of control.
Second-tier low-level palm skill, Bloodthirsty Soul Chasing Hand.
With his peak Fifth Tier Qi Absorption cultivation combined with his perfect mastery over second-tier low-level palm skill, Qiu Wunan’s real strength was beyond Shi Xiaole’s estimation.
Even Yintong, who had passed away, didn’t know this lord of Bloody Red Altar still had this ace up his sleeve.
"It’s over."
Wang Yangming sighed, a deep sense of powerlessness washing over him.
Brother Shi was too impulsive after all.
"If you want to kill me, you still have a long way to go."
Re-sheathing his knife, Shi Xiaole’s thumb gripped the Green Blade, as he made an almost unimaginably fast slash forward.
Killing skill, Line of Hope.
Clang!
Shi Xiaole retreated three steps.
In terms of frontal power, Line of Hope was far superior to any Tai Sect technique. However, the Tai Sect techniques primarily focused on mental calculations. Direct power can’t represent most second-grade low-level martial arts skills.
Consequently, in the face of an internal power disadvantage, Shi Xiaole ended up at a disadvantage.
But when Qiu Wunan laughing maniacally once again rushed towards him, Shi Xiaole’s eyes suddenly filled with a strange glow.
Shh.
There was a sudden splash of blood coming from Qiu Wunan’s arm.
"He can use Pupil Skill too?"
Seeing this, Qiu Wunan knew that he wouldn’t be able to kill Shi Xiaole today. Due to the large scope of the other party’s Pupil Skill, he was restricted. In a short time, his body had been cut by four or five sword wounds.
"You just wait and see."
Leaving behind a threatening word, Qiu Wunan turned around and rushed into a stone building.
