"You’re the Big Mosquito."
Heisha looked at Liu Zhen’e, lightly pushing his right palm. The iron-plate-like palm was tremendously tough, aimed at Liu Zhen’e’s chest.
"Flying Sky God Fist!"
Being the thirty-sixth ranked martial artist on the list of wanderers, Liu Zhen’e was not ordinary after all. He quickly calmed down and used his strongest skill.
One on one, he was not afraid of Heisha. The problem was Baisha’s effortless hit could easily kill off the likes of Ge Ruyuan and the others in seconds. That’s why it was essential to seize the initiative and then make a breakthrough with everyone.
Upon the collision of two forces, Liu Zhen’e, who made all-out efforts, indeed seized the initiative. His body flitted, and the Inborn Gang Qi transformed into threads, entwining Ge Ruyuan, Gu Family, and the elite men and women of the Wind Firming Gang. He then turned and escaped.
As for Shi Xiaole, he had no blood relation or affinity to him. Bringing him would inevitably affect the speed of escape, so he could only apologize.
"Brother Xie."
Ge Ruyuan reached out and shouted, trying to grab Shi Xiaole but only caught a strand of Devil Qi, with deep guilt in his eyes.
"Hehe, kid, it seems you’ve been abandoned."
A white shadow flashed, Baisha showed up with a round and chubby face that was a picture of merriment, but humorous to behold. However, no one could laugh upon seeing his moves.
His two hands blocked out the sky, dragging two white channels from the void, and made way for the Devil Qi; the larger hand attacked Liu Zhen’e, and the smaller one attacked Shi Xiaole.
"Damn it!"
Liu Zhen’e had no choice but to punch up into the sky as hard as he could, thus his running speed was greatly reduced.
On the other side, when the hand blocking the sky was only three inches away from Shi Xiaole, he moved.
With the strike of his sword, a pile of Sword Qi surged up. In an instant, the hand shielding the sky was torn into a sieve. Its rush didn’t stop and instead turned to attack Baisha.
"Hmm?"
Baisha dodged to the left, his smile slightly fading.
The blow he had just delivered to Shi Xiaole was only a mere 30% of his power, but it should have been more than enough to handle an eighth-tier Xuan Qi martial artist. This kid sure has some skills.
"Kid, I didn’t expect you to reach the sixth level of the Spiritual-Passage Realm at such a young age. That’s impressive,"
From Shi Xiaole’s sword, the aura that erupted was indeed of the sixth level of the Spiritual-Passage Realm.
This was the effect created by his Brahma-I Unity. Otherwise, possessing the strength at the Spiritual-Passage level with just the fifth-tier Xuan Qi would easily arouse others’ suspicion.
"A quick battle to a quick decision."
Heisha’s eyes flashed, reminding Baisha while fighting fiercely with Liu Zhen’e simultaneously.
"Hehe, kid, I hope you can block old Bai’s moves a few more times."
Baisha moved from left to right, his feet off the ground. His fat body seemed insubstantial like a balloon. When they were still thirty feet apart from each other, he slapped out. His huge hand ignored the distance and abruptly reached Shi Xiaole’s face.
Fast and Slow Intent Realm.
The fast and slow intent realm was one that Baisha mastered, which was even rarer than the shadow’s. This peculiar rhythm was enough to blur the opponent’s judgment. When you think your opponent is still far away, he has actually already nearly approached.
With this move, Baisha had killed many people stronger than him before. To use it against Shi Xiaole seemed overkill, but he had no choice. He didn’t want to delay, lest the others escape.
A layer of Sword Qi appeared before the arrival of palm strength, protecting Shi Xiaole just in time. His arm swayed to the side, his sword tip cut diagonally upward from the bottom, and Shi Xiaole slashed at Baisha with his sword.
Sizzling.
The palm strength was riddled with bullets, forcing Baisha to retreat again and again.
"What are you doing?"
Heisha, who was fighting fiercely, took a quick look and couldn’t help but get angry.
Liu Zhen’e, Ge Ruyuan, and the other two young talents were also shocked.
Although the time was short, it was clear that Baisha had used his true ability. How was he pushed back by Shi Xiaole?
The most shocked was Baisha himself.
"Can you see through my fast and slow intent realm?"
Baisha’s smile disappeared, his mung bean eyes narrowed into two slits.
"Just a coincidence."
Shi Xiaole replied indifferently.
A general martial artist ranked in the wanderer’s list possesses at least one complete realm. However, there were exceptions, such as when the realm they had understood was a profound one.
Fast and Slow Intent Realm is one of those profound realms.
Fast and slow seem simple, but often the simpler things are, the harder they are to master.
Baisha’s Fast and Slow Realm was not high, around 30%, but it almost confused Shi Xiaole, whose mental state surpassed that of Spiritual-Passage Realm masters, demonstrating the dreadfulness of this realm.
If it had been in the outside world, with the addition of the other party’s Xuan Qi, Shi Xiaole would have had no chance to block this blow.
"The palm has no effect."
Raising a great roar, Baisha’s hands slapped angrily, this time truly using his full strength. Dozens of palm shadows rained from the sky, swift and slow intermixed, which surprisingly gave an illusion of the palm shadows clashing from both above and below.
Each palm shadow was real, but the interval was very vague and unpredictable. You would never know when it would land on you.
Pushing his mind to the limit, Shi Xiaole swung his sword. This sword gave the impression that not Sword Qi but several sword-stones were rushing upwards.
This was his self-created killing technique, Dangerous Peaks, which he hadn’t used for a long time. However, for fear of being recognized, he deliberately changed its form.
The palm shadows were torn apart, and the Sword Qi was also quenched, but in the end, a part successfully rushed out. Several scratches were cut on Baisha’s body, and blood scattered.
"He, he’s gaining the upper hand?!"
The young man from the Gu Family, who was a cousin of the Sunset Little Sword Marquis and well-known in the Great Cold State, looked completely dumbfounded.
Ge Ruyuan and the woman from the Wind Firming Gang looked even worse. They knew it was not the right moment to be distracted, but Shi Xiaole’s performance was too dazzling.
With nearly the same age as them, he reached the Sixth Tier of the Spiritual-Passage Realm, breaking the record of the Great Cold State that had stood for a millennium. Looking at his strength, despite being under the influence of the Devil Path’s energy, Shi Xiaole’s repression was even more significant than Baisha’s.
In other words, if they were outside, wouldn’t Shi Xiaole defeat his opponent even more easily?
At about the age of thirty, fighting against a master on the Top Warriors List, just the thought of it makes one’s heart pounding. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe it!
"Motion within stillness!"
Baisha’s face turned as red as a beetroot, putting in all his strength. His body remained unmoved, but his overwhelming palm energy seemed to have transcended through another dimension, reaching in front of Shi Xiaole.
"Horizon Line."
With his arm raised high, Shi Xiaole thrust his sword downward. The Sword Qi was thinner than silkworm thread but carried a raging friction sound like a tidal wave. It was irresistibly cutting through Baisha’s palm energy like tofu.
Do not assume that Shi Xiaole had only been forging swords in recent months. The process of forging swords was actually a process of honing the Sword Heart and integrating the essence of swordsmanship.
Fortunate is he who has an open heart, Shi Xiaole had long created his second formidable move—Horizon Line, based on the precipitous risks intent realm with a probability of 60% success.
This sword did not cover as wide an area as the Precipitous Peak, but its attack power was stronger. If the arm was slashed, the arm would be separated from the body, if the head was cut, you would be separated from the world.
Whoosh!
The devil energy was slashed open, creating a long, sharp incision, and blood dripped onto the ground. Baisha screamed in pain, three of his five fingers were severed, and the cut was so smooth it made one’s scalp numb.
"Little beast, I will remember you!"
Baisha’s face turned pale, deep horror filled his eyes, he fled without looking back.
"Damn it."
Seeing this, Heisha became worried. His strength was on par with Baisha’s, and he feared that Shi Xiaole would turn against him next, so he also ran away.
Liu Zhen’e doubted whether he was dreaming, looking at Shi Xiaole in disbelief.
Is this really a young man?
Once the news of his victory over Baisha spreads, it will cause a sensation in the Great Cold State and even overshadow the time when Shi Xiaole made it to the sixth level of the Silver Bull Horn.
The latter was more about potential and combat power at the same level, but the future was uncertain.
But the person in front of him was not much older than Shi Xiaole and he already had the strength to compete with the top warriors on the Top Warriors List. It was absolutely unheard of.
Wait a minute, could he be an old predecessor with a youthful appearance?
Liu Zhen’e couldn’t help but doubt.
Boom!
A vicious and utterly evil force, full of murderous aura shot towards Shi Xiaole. Shi Xiaole held his sword with both hands and launched the Horizon Line move again.
In the hissing sound, the two forces dispelled at the same time, shaking the surroundings within several meters.
Luckily, the devil qi limited perception, or the commotion would have attracted a lot of people from afar.
"Little beast, I’ll kill you for sure."
The Slaughter Sky Demonic Human abandoned the Descending Dragon Lord, who was restrained everywhere, and rushed towards Shi Xiaole.
Everything that happened earlier seemed like a long story, but it was just a moment. Before Slaughter Sky Demonic Human had the chance to back off, Black and White Devils were frightened off. This made him harbor boundless murderous intent towards Shi Xiaole.
If such a character comes out from the Righteous Path and is allowed to continue unchecked, wouldn’t it disaster?
Therefore, he quickly targeted Shi Xiaole to prevent him from escaping.
Compared with Baisha, the Slaughter Sky Demonic Human was far more superior in speed, technique, and attack power. His aggressive attacks immediately made Shi Xiaole’s sword moves inferior.
The two moved and exchanged positions quickly and disappeared from Liu Zhen’e’s sight.
"To the left."
The Descending Dragon Lord shouted and rushed out according to the fluctuation of vitality and blood.
Liu Zhen’e hesitated for a moment, and quickly followed with Ge Ruyuan and the other two.
After this battle, he gained a new understanding of the Devil Path’s methods. Relying solely on himself, he might not even be able to get out of the Black Devil’s Ridge. It’s fair to say that he was simply lucky in the previous encounters.
"Bloodless Blade."
The voice of the Slaughter Sky Demonic Human carried a demonic charm. As his palm ripped through the devil energy, it also broke the psychological defense of a human. Faced with this move, even Shi Xiaole felt a sensation like going to the gallows willingly.
Dispelling distractions, the momentum of Shi Xiaole’s sword changed and finally used his ultimate skill, Death Claiming Thirteen Swords.
However, to avoid being recognized, Shi Xiaole consciously used only nine moves, giving the impression that it only had nine moves. Plus, since he had completely mastered the first thirteen swords, it flowed smoothly and naturally, which was quite different from the past.
The Death Claiming Sword Qi aimed to kill with every move. Under Shi Xiaole’s active attack, they fought as they moved, their figures gradually blurring.
Shi Xiaole was surprised.
The strength the other party displayed, although at the peak of the Spiritual-Passage Realm Tier One, was definitely stronger than most masters of the same level because his understanding of intent, martial arts levels, and combat skills were extraordinarily sophisticated.
If it were anyone other than Shi Xiaole, they would have been dead long ago.
However, the Slaughter Sky Demonic Human was even more astonished than Shi Xiaole.
Despite the other party being only in the Sixth Tier of the Spiritual-Passage Realm, three realms below him, his combat power was so strong that Slaughter Sky Demonic Human wasn’t sure he could defeat him unless he went all out.
It was simply unbelievable!
