Chapter 352: 351
Bang, bang, bang.
Blooms of blood flowered, each one representing a master.
In a situation where everyone was attacking each other, those who reacted even slightly slower wouldn’t simply be attacked by one person, but by many. Their survival would be a miracle.
Even a high-level expert like Demon Marquis would undoubtedly die if they were hit by the chaotic and vast Inborn Gang Qi.
Using Wind God Leg, Shi Xiaole maneuvered through the crowd.
This mid-second-tier leg technique was already rare in the Martial World. Combined with 75% of the Wind Intent Realm, it made him move like a fish in water, making him one of the few who were most at ease in this chaotic battle.
Whiz!
In the distance, a sky-full of slicing sounds approached, causing many people to change their colors with fear.
It was a black substance, it was not wind, but its surface was heavily patterned. It looked like shadows made of countless strands of steel wire.
"The Vigorous Wind, it’s the Demonic Vigorous Wind."
A master of the Spiritual-Passage Realm at the eighth layer shouted, trying to fly away. However, he was immediately sucked and crushed into bloody fragments by the black substance.
The crowd gasped, no longer caring about fighting, they quickly dispersed and fled in all directions, fearing for their lives.
The Demonic Vigorous Wind, it was one of the most lethal phenomena in the Devil Path, no one knew how it was formed.
The Flying Horse Dynasty had ten deadly lands, one of them was Soul Losing Hill, a gathering place for numerous Demonic Vigorous Wind. To date, not many people dared to enter.
Everyone was scared out of their wits at the sight of Demonic Vigorous Wind.
"Moon Shadow Divine Movement!"
The Moon Demon’s black cloak spread out, the light refracted in the void continuously, but his body arrived faster than the moonlight, escaping at an incredibly fast speed.
Demon Marquis, the Red Charm Demon, Love Demon, and others were not as agile as Moon Demon, but their cultivated strengths were profound, so they too weren’t slow.
"Holy Young Master!"
Lan Tian and others searched around for Shi Xiaole, fearing he would be swallowed by the Demonic Vigorous Wind.
However, in reality, they had overthought.
Shi Xiaole’s legs moved like wind, striding out with such speed that even his shadow was almost blurry. He was even faster than the Moon Demon, despite starting later.
Back in the day, Nie Feng had demonstrated the ultimate power of Wind God Leg. Particularly, the first move that emphasized speed, Catching Wind & Shadow, he developed it into a faster version - Wind Step Foot Shadow.
Shi Xiaole had already achieved this level of skill. His first display of it truly made him seem like a gust of wind, moving so fast that his shadow couldn’t be captured, which left Demon Marquis and others almost dumbfounded.
"Holy Young Master is really unfathomable."
Lan Tian and the others were overjoyed, and they also increased their speed.
Under the impact of the Demonic Vigorous Wind, of the hundreds of people who fell, more than a hundred were swept away and crushed to bloody fragments.
A huge and straight wall appeared ahead. No one knew how high or deep it was. Shi Xiaole and others who stood on it seemed as insignificant as ants in front of a human wall.
Everyone felt a sense of worthlessness and terror.
Just this wall alone would have required who knows how much manpower and money to build. Where on earth is this place?
With the power the Black Devil Divine Monarch was able to use back in the day, could he really create such a thing?
Without time to ponder, Shi Xiaole stepped on the wall, his body parallel to the ground, and rushed down.
A huge fist-shadow smashed down from the sky, exerting a crushing force towards Shi Xiaole. It hadn’t come close yet but it already made his chest boil, almost dislocating his internal organs.
The person who stuck out the hand was none other than Demon Marquis.
"Continuous Rainstorm."
At a crucial moment, Lan Tian struck out with his palm, and the raindrops as big as beans hit the fist shadow. The shadow was immediately punctured, and the remaining force struck the wall, making everyone’s eardrums bulge.
A few people noticed that Lan Tian, despite his strength, was unable to cause any damage to the wall.
"I’ve long heard of Elder Lan’s reputable ancestors. Now I’d like to see for myself. Demon Desire Wave!"
Demon Marquis smiled. As he rushed down along the massive wall, he extended his arms, and invisible waves radiated out from his hands, overlapping and spreading out to an area of two hundred meters before they stopped.
If one had to make a comparison, it was as if he was holding a dish with a diameter of two hundred meters in each hand, waving them around in all directions. Wherever the waves reached, everything seemed to stop, with no choice but to allow him to cut and chop.
"What a move, the Demon Desire Wave."
Lan Tian’s eyes were gravely condensed.
The Demon Desire Wave came from the Demon Desire Divine Skill. The complete Demon Desire Divine Skill was hardly inferior to the Devouring Demon Skill used by the Divine Monarch. With full effort, Lan Tian let out a move, the Pouring Rain.
"Elder Huang, this marquis also wants to spar with you."
To everyone’s shock, at the same time as he was fighting Lan Tian, Demon Marquis dared to throw a punch at Huang Rong, who was chasing after Shi Xiaole.
"You’re seeking death, Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain!"
Huang Rong had no choice but to turn around and punch back.
Clack, clack, clack.
Three great masters clashed, and each time their vigorous airs exploded, it was like a seascape in a void. Within a hundred meters radius, the masters present dared not get close.
"A bunch of useless trash, before the Devouring Demon Seed appears, I’ll let you have a good fight."
A few miles from the two Devil Path parties, Elder Xu used his aura to lead a few surviving Sky Edge Pavilion masters, leisurely flying in the air at a steady pace.
While Demonic Vigorous Wind was terrifying, it was only one stream and could not pose any threat to Elder Xu.
"Blocking Moon over the Mighty River!"
The Moon Demon, knowing that Shi Xiaole was leading the charge, pointed a finger and a creamy white vigorous air like a hazy moonlight was dispersed towards Shi Xiaole.
However, his attack power was not very strong, and the distance between the two sides was continuously expanding. By the time the light from his finger approached Shi Xiaole, its power was only a tenth of its original strength and was shattered by him effortlessly.
"Moon Demon, you are so useless, watch me, Demon Door’s Lion Roar!"
The Heaven Eating Demon laughed and his stomach swelled to twice its size, as did his mouth. Just as people were expecting an explosion from two places on his body, the Heaven Eating Demon suddenly opened his mouth. A dull sound wave like boiling water, which seemed to come from Hell, exploded.
The Red Charm Demon and Moon Demon, who were familiar with the Heaven Eating Demon, had a drastic change in color. They spread out immediately and exerted their powers to protect their bodies.
As soon as the sound wave was emitted, it instantly penetrated the eardrums of everyone present. Those who were close spat out blood from both ears; among the blood spurted out, there were also pieces of brain matter and white matter, clearly showing that their brain was shattered from internal shock.
Those at a farther distance turned pale with their abilities almost broken down, and they fell off the giant wall.
There were many more people who blocked the sonic onslaught, but they were both shocked and frightened as they watched the Heaven Eating Demon who was laughing heartily.
Shi Xiaole was quite far from the Heaven Eating Demon, but the pressure he bore from the soundwave was the greatest and most terrifying. This trick from the other party was clearly a deathtrap.
Shi Xiaole understood that what the Heaven Eating Demon comprehended was the rare sonic realm, a realm that was one of the highest realms even among the deep and profound realms.
The scariest part was that ordinary moves could not resist sonic attacks. In other words, if one’s Internal Power was insufficient, once hit by a sonic attack, one would be doomed.
"Wind Rolling Building Remains."
Shi Xiaole’s body quickly spun, stirring up everything around him. The air became a raging tornado, and the instant the sonic wave blasted into it, it was immediately blocked by the tornado, greatly reducing its might.
"How can this be!"
The Heaven Eating Demon’s laughter ceased abruptly.
A sonic wave is nothing more than air vibration. Shi Xiaole’s action also induced air vibration and formed windwaves, which indirectly countered his attack.
"How can this kid be so hard to kill!"
The faces of the Demon Sky Sect’s high-ranking members like the Red Charm Demon were very ugly, especially Red Charm Demon. Last time at Black Demon Ridge, she almost killed Xie Xiaofeng but was blocked by ’Broken Sun Blade Marquis’ Gu Nanfeng.
If she had known earlier that he was the Holy Young Master, even at the most painful price, she would have killed him with her own hands.
Wow!
The tornado dissipated, and Shi Xiaole spurted a mouthful of blood with his face looking somewhat pale. The Heaven Eating Demon’s cultivation was much higher than his, and even with a countering move formed, it was not possible to completely ward off the opponent’s attack.
There’s no doubting that Shi Xiaole’s cultivation had reached the third level of the Spiritual-Passage Realm, and he could probably defeat regular peak masters of the ninth level of the Spiritual-Passage Realm.
But the blanket-listed Demon masters like the Heaven Eating Demon, and the Red Charm Demon, were different.
Not only had they reached the pinnacle of the Spiritual-Passage Realm, but they also had at least one full realm mastered. Even their martial arts levels were high, for example, Red Charm Demon’s fully understood Palm Intent.
All along, Shi Xiaole’s invincibility amongst his peers was attributed to the realm and Sword Heart that were far superior for his age, and he naturally struggled when he didn’t have the advantage in both aspects.
Mainly, the Red Charm Demon and others were themselves geniuses who had trained in martial arts for decades more than Shi Xiaole.
The Heaven Eating Demon was unwilling, and activated the Demon Door’s Lion Roar a few more times, but he still couldn’t pin down Shi Xiaole.
At this time, several top-ranking masters from the Lan and Huang clans, led by Lan Ye and Huang Huan, rushed over and began a fierce battle with the Red Charm Demon and others.
Everyone fought while descending.
About a quarter of an hour later, Shi Xiaole finally saw the bottom. But his feet stopped with a speed that defied human physiology.
The bottom was not ground, but a pool of bubbling blood.
A chilling killing intent and aura came over his face from dozens of meters away, as if a countless number of ferocious beasts lurked under the blood pool, ready to rip you apart at any time.
Unfortunately, darkness surrounded the blood pool, making it difficult to break through.
Seeing that the people above were about to approach, Shi Xiaole gritted his teeth and charged out with his Wind God leg. It was not difficult for him to cross the fifty-meter-long blood pool with his lightness skill.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Suddenly, blood arrows shot out from within the pool, each of which hit with power equivalent to the Spiritual-Passage Realm level. The power of a single blood arrow may not be large, but the number of arrows was too many. Even Shi Xiaole, with his speed, nearly got hit.
People chasing from behind also encountered the blood arrow attacks. For a moment, the sky above the fifty-meter blood pool was almost filled with blood arrows in every inch of space. Constantly, people screamed as they fell into the blood pool.
The Heaven Eating Demon was at the worst disadvantage here. His bulky figure hadn’t made it twenty meters before multiple wounds appeared. "You forced me down here, let’s all go down together!"
He opened his mouth and roared.
Several top-ranking masters from the Lan and Huang families were momentarily stunned, and they were pierced by the blood arrows along with the Heaven Eating Demon and fell into the pool.
"No!"
Moon Demon had always been proud of his agility, but it was not enough now. After being hit by the blood arrows in the leg continuously, his eyes turned sharp, and he pointed lunar finger lights towards Shi Xiaole, who was in front of him.
Shi Xiaole was just over ten meters away from the other shore. His body collapsed under the disturbance of the lunar finger lights and was affected by the blood arrows. Before falling into the blood pool, he shot Moon Demon a deep look.
