"Who is that? Come out!"
Moon Demon looked around, somewhat taken aback.
When had the other party arrived? How had he failed to notice?
The sound of footsteps rose faintly. Under the moonlight, a handsome man in elaborate clothing, with an ancient sword that hung from his waist, confidently strode towards him.
"Xie Xiaofeng!"
Moon Demon could hardly believe it.
"Brother Xie, it’s you..."
A woman stood expressionless. She was Ge Ruyuan, the chief disciple of the Jade Moon Palace.
When Shi Xiaole disguised himself as Xie Xiaofeng and entered Black Devil Ridge, she was the first person he ran into and they had brief contact.
"Xie Xiaofeng, the Holy Young Master Xie Xiaofeng of Devil Path?"
Quite a few people present had witnessed Xie Xiaofeng’s extraordinary bearing at Mount Dabie and had once seen him as their idol. Unexpectedly this year, it was revealed in the Martial World that he was from Devil Path, and was even a descendant of the Black Devil Divine Monarch.
Late on, when the Sky Edge Pavilion announced they would expel Xie Xiaofeng, this news was confirmed. Suddenly, the Righteous Path’s assessment of Xie Xiaofeng plummeted and he was thoroughly denounced as a despicable rogue.
Thinking that they were all deeply caught in the hands of two great demons, the women couldn’t help but sink into despair. They barely spared any thought to Xie Xiaofeng who had saved Lan Xiaodie not long ago.
"Xie Xiaofeng, a year ago I beat you to a pulp. Have you forgotten that lesson? You dare to face me alone?"
Moon Demon sneered while secretly pushing his power to the limit.
Although the palm attack just now was rashly defensive, it was not surprising that it was blocked. But Shi Xiaole was too calm, calm enough to make him feel uneasy.
The other party was not stupid. If they didn’t have confidence, why would they reveal themselves in such a grand manner?
"Exactly because I haven’t forgotten, I’m here to take revenge."
Shi Xiaole said, "Moon Demon, show all your strength. Tonight will be the day you die."
"You arrogant fool! Moon Shadow Fist!"
Moon Demon suddenly threw a punch. The hazy phantom punch shadows layered heavily upon one another, making it hard to grasp under the moonlight, blurring the women’s vision.
Anyone with keen vision could see that this punch, although it didn’t seem powerful, was a loop within a loop. Any ordinary expert at the Spiritual-Passage Realm would find it difficult to easily block this attack.
Having thrown the punch, Moon Demon kept a keen eye on every move Shi Xiaole made. He wanted to make the correct response based on the other’s reaction.
The wind shadow flickered.
Shi Xiaole directly ignored the punch shadow, took a step, and moved through it. With another step, he was instantly in front of Moon Demon, as elegant and ethereal as an immortal.
"Impossible!"
Moon Demon was horrified. A chill rose from his tailbone to the crown of his head.
In the world of martial arts, speed is superior to all else.
How could he fail to see that if Shi Xiaole had wanted to deal with him just now, he probably would have already been hit?
What kind of opportunity had this boy gotten from the Black Devil Divine Monarch, that in just one year, his martial arts ability increased to this level?
"Moon Shining Over the Earth!"
The halo dispersed, and a giant claw shadow covered the moonlight, grabbing towards Shi Xiaole from above.
As soon as he launched the attack, Moon Demon fled outward at great speed. His body borrowing momentum from tree branches, he seemed like a straight beam of moonlight, crossing towards the distance.
Shi Xiaole intended to use the Faceless Divine Skill to test. He extended his hand and gently pushed forward.
Boom!
Under the unstoppable internal power, the giant claw shadow was as fragile as tofu, not even lasting a breath before being blown apart. His Internal Power concentrated into a beam, shooting it into the crossing beam of straight-line moonlight.
Moon Demon’s body froze in mid-air, his chest pierced. His body began to shatter like broken ceramics.
Spurt!
The next moment, his entire body exploded into a cloud of blood.
"What..."
The expressions of the women from Jade Moon Palace were shocked.
Three years ago, Xie Xiaofeng killed many experts on the demon leaderboard in the Black Devil Ridge. Three years later, his strength had dramatically grown. With one palm, he killed Moon Demon, one of the Five Devils of the Great Cold State.
You should know that Moon Demon’s strength, even amongst the extreme experts of the Spiritual-Passage Realm, was at the top tier. Including his Flying Skill, it was difficult for people of greater strength to kill him.
But in front of Shi Xiaole, Moon Demon was like a mosquito and casually squashed.
The ladies felt a whirl of emotions.
Whether you admit it or not, this is an unparalleled genius, at least unprecedented in the eight martial arts regions. Why, of all people, must this person be the Holy Young Master of Devil Path?
"Brother Xie, I know that you are not inherently bad. Why stray into Devil Path? Return to the righteous path. I believe the Righteous Path will give you another chance."
Ge Ruyuan looked at Shi Xiaole, reminiscing about their brief encounters in Black Devil Ridge, her heart filled with bitterness.
"Return to the righteous path?"
Shi Xiaole laughed and waved his hand. The women’s acupoints were unlocked and they quickly retreated, watching him warily.
However, Shi Xiaole had already vanished from the front.
Hearing the sound, the women turned around, only then realizing that the Holy Young Master had already lifted Tao Xingyu from the ground, stuffed a pill into his mouth, and was helping him metabolize it.
"Why, why are you doing this?"
Tao Xingyu asked in confusion.
"No reason, I just like the look of your face."
After leaving a word, Shi Xiaole disappeared into the forest.
"Senior Brother Tao, are you alright?"
Lan Xiaodie helped Tao Xingyu. She had been terrified with Xie Xiaofeng nearby.
"Brother Xie’s medicinal pill was quite effective, I’m fine now."
Tao Xingyu looked in the direction Shi Xiaole had gone and inexplicably said, "Junior Sister, don’t you think this Brother Xie looks a bit like Brother Shi?"
Lan Xiaodie said, "What a joke, Little Shi certainly can’t be the Holy Young Master of the Devil Path!"
"True."
Tao Xingyu shook his head.
He had heard that Brother Shi had done something earth-shattering a year ago, overthrowing seven top sects in Qingxue State all by himself and even founding Lele City. He is now the idol of countless people in the Martial World of Qingxue State, how could he come here?
...
"With my current strength, I should be able to easily kill the Demon Marquis of a year ago. However, the other party would not have stood still, I wonder what realm he has reached now."
Recalling the scene of killing the Moon Demon, Shi Xiaole had a clearer understanding of his strength, but he didn’t relax at all.
A lion hunts a rabbit with all his might.
Shi Xiaole would never underestimate any opponent, let alone, the Demon Marquis was definitely not a rabbit.
Arriving at the foot of Mountain Cang, Shi Xiaole was about to go up the mountain when successive sounds of breaking wind sounded.
"Greetings to the Holy Young Master!"
Several men rushed forward like arrows, with excited expressions, and knelt in front of Shi Xiaole.
Shi Xiaole recognized that they were masters from the Lan and Huang families, and quickly said, "Guardians, please stand."
"Holy Young Master, we have been waiting so hard for you at the foot of the mountain, we finally waited for you to come, the Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister were also worried that you wouldn’t come."
Before meeting the Holy Young Master, they didn’t think much of it, but now they suddenly discovered that there was a strange force of stability in him.
It seemed that at this moment, the psychological threats that the Demon Marquis and the Demon Sky Sect brought to them had decreased a lot.
"An important event like the Mountain Cang Summit, I would not be delayed, let’s go up the mountain."
After they left, the master guards stationed at the entrance began to whisper.
"That guy is actually the descendant of the Divine Monarch, he doesn’t look that impressive."
"Too young, his strength is definitely far inferior to the Demon Marquis, the Lan and Huang families want to rely on him to rally, I’m afraid they’ll be disappointed."
"Why worry about so much? In any case, this time, we have a good show to watch."
Mid-Mountain Cang.
People from the Lan and Huang families all knelt down, hailing the Holy Young Master. This solemn and respectful posture attracted the attention of countless masters of the Devil Path around.
"Please rise."
Shi Xiaole took a look, and found that besides the Lan and Huang families, about a dozen other forces of the Devil Path that attached to him were present. Comparing this with the Demon Sky Sect, he couldn’t help but bitterly smile.
The difference between the two sides was somewhat apparent.
Surveying his surroundings, Shi Xiaole looked serious, walked up to Love Demon, and slightly bowed, "Tianci, thank you for everything you have done for me. Please accept my respects."
"Holy Young Master, you mustn’t!"
Everyone shouted together, and Love Demon stopped Shi Xiaole at the first moment. Seeing the sincerity and remorse in his eyes, the usually cold-hearted Love Demon felt warmth, "Holy Young Master, you rush Tianci!"
"Humph, he knows how to win over people in public."
On the side of the Demon Sky Sect, the Heaven Eating Demon gnawed on ten kilograms of pork in his hands, chewing heavily as if it was Shi Xiaole.
"Such small tricks will never enter the elegant hall, when he experiences the absolute strength of the Marquis, he will know that there are people who he cannot compare with."
Red Charm Demon sneers.
Outsiders will never know how powerful the current Marquis is. This (Mountain Cang) summit is the coronation of the Marquis’ unification of the Devil Path.
The Demon Marquis glanced at Shi Xiaole and immediately withdrew his gaze without saying anything.
After reaching this point, only those masters of the Devil Path who have been hidden for decades can put pressure on him.
As an opponent, the Demon Marquis admired Shi Xiaole’s potential, but the latter was too young. This time, he would not hesitate to step on him.
The lord of the Devil Path could only be one person!
"Holy Young Master, you might have to face the Demon Marquis this time, I don’t know about your current strength..."
Arriving at a secluded place, Lan Tian and Huang Rong watched Shi Xiaole with great tension.
Their deployments could only be icing on the cake. What will really determine the success or failure of the summit will still be the Holy Young Master himself.
Shi Xiaole said, "Some things are hard to say. You’ll only know once you fight."
Lan and Huang looked at each other.
The Holy Young Master’s ambiguous words had quite a profound meaning.
They had already detailed the situation of the Demon Marquis, but the Holy Young Master was not nervous at all, instead he made such a statement, could it be...
"Whether it’s for myself or the Lan and Huang families, I will do my utmost. Just put your mind at ease."
Even with the composure of the two old men, their hearts were beating wildly at Shi Xiaole’s words and they looked at him in surprise and uncertainty.
Returning to their base, Shi Xiaole sat cross-legged on the ground and soon began to meditate.
There will inevitably be a battle tomorrow, he must adjust his state to the best.
The force of the Demon Sky Sect and the Lan and Huang Union occupied a position each in the midsection of Mountain Cang clearly separated.
In addition, there were other alliances of the Great Cold Demon Path that did not yield to the two unions, occupying many places, plus those forces of the Devil Path with ambiguous attitudes that did not lean to either side, the entire midsection of Mountain Cang was enveloped in a mysterious and strange atmosphere.
Occasionally glancing at each other, hidden were countless dirty thoughts.
A quick night passed.
The next day, dawn broke.
On the platform in the midsection, two one-eyed old men simultaneously opened their eyes, the Left-eye Elder said, "Come in."
