Chapter 371: Chapter 370: Ten Moves (3rd update, asking for monthly tickets!)
Halfway up Mount Cang, the atmosphere was oddly tense.
No one would think that Shi Xiaole, at his age, could fight against four top-class Devil Path warriors alone. Even withstanding only ten attacks would be difficult without revealing signs of defeat.
Poor Holy Young Master, making his first appearance, was about to be subdued by Demon Marquis’s henchmen. Of course, this also reflected that he is no match for Demon Marquis.
The Devil Path always values survival of the fittest. Only the strongest can ascend to the highest seat and rule over everyone.
"Old Yi, are we really just going to watch?"
’Slaughter Demon Hand’ Xiao Qian, one of the rescued Demon Path elders, asked ’Flying Demon’ Yi Wentian.
"I said, this matter concerns the rise and fall of Devil Path, we can’t let emotions interfere. Of course, if Demon Sky Sect dares to act ruthlessly, I’m not an ungrateful person either."
Yi Wentian calmly looked ahead.
At this time, the players in the court had already made their move.
"Holy Young Master, take my move, Entangling Silk Palm!"
To avoid dragging the night out, the Red Charm Demon was the first to launch an attack towards Shi Xiaole. The soft and lingering palm force, like fine and dense heavenly silkworm threads, was omnipresent and persistent, rolling towards Shi Xiaole from all directions.
Compared to a year ago, Red Charm Demon’s entanglement intent had clearly deepened. Although it hadn’t reached true intent, it had some shadow of it.
Those nearby with slightly weaker strength felt as if their hearts were bound by this palm, causing discomfort to the point of suffocation.
If it were the Shi Xiaole of the past, he would probably have to use his Death Claiming Fifteen Swords to barely hold it off, but now——With Wind God Leg displaying, Shi Xiaole was like a bird in the silkworm threads, shifting positions several times, passing through the palm force.
"The first move."
Somepeople who enjoyed the show were counting secretly.
"Wind rises, fire blazes!"
Before Shi Xiaole’s body had even stabilised, Qi Da, one of the three Qi brothers, pre-judged his position and fiercely punched at him.
Blue and red Inborn Gang Qi emerged from the surface of his fist.
The blue Vigorous Air was invisible but had substance, spreading everywhere, yet it stripped away an inch-deep layer from the ground of the platform.
The red Vigorous Air was hot and violent, following closely behind, puffing the dust in mid-air into fine particles. Wind aided the fire, fire let wind march, the mutual enhancement of blue and red Vigorous Air exploded with a shocking amount of power in an instant.
Wind Intent Realm and Fire Intent Realm were both extremely powerful. Moreover, Qi Da had clearly comprehended both intents to their fullest. The two combined, creating an amplification like a chemical reaction.
Just with this punch, everyone knew that Qi Da was definitely among the top of the extreme masters in Spiritual-Passage Realm.
Shi Xiaole’s situation was clearly ten times more dangerous than everyone had imagined.
Apart from Qi Da, Qi Er and Qi San also made their moves simultaneously.
The former comprehended Quickness Intent Realm and Wind Intent Realm, resulting in his sword technique being faster than Qi Da’s fist attack, scratching up razor-sharp sword wind that sliced through skin and bone.
The latter comprehended Metal Intent Realm and the rather rare Circular Intent Realm. A knife was swung, and the knife glow naturally formed a circle of three feet, the cutting edge was unparalleled, as if a circle of blades was rolling rapidly.
In less than a blink of an eye, the ground was cut with a straight deep mark, spreading all the way to the feet of Shi Xiaole.
The three Qi brothers cooperated very tacitly, attacking Shi Xiaole from three directions, blocking off many of his retreat routes.
All kinds of Vigorous Air reflected the void into a dazzling array, like a painting floating in mid-air. In the painting, Shi Xiaole’s face was as usual, his body spinning rapidly.
The fifth move of Wind God Leg, Wind Rolling Building Remains.
Fist force, sword Qi, knife edge, all barely touched the cyan vortex before they hesitated slightly and were immediately smashed fiercely.
But just by borrowing this negligible gap, Shi Xiaole had already shot straight up into the sky, standing thirty feet high in the air, looking down on the three offensive forces colliding with each other, bursting out immeasurable light.
"Did he see the flaw in the move?"
The pupils of the three Qi brothers shrank simultaneously, unable to conceal their astonishment.
With their strength, even if they were asked to watch the moves they made themselves, they wouldn’t see the flaws in a short time, let alone see the flaws in the moves of the three people at the same time.
Moreover, seeing the flaw and exploiting it are two completely different things. This means that the time Shi Xiaole took to see the flaw was shorter than they thought, otherwise, he wouldn’t have time to use it!
This Holy Young Master was far from as simple as they imagined.
"The second move."
Someone muttered.
"Unraveling Entanglement!"
A red palm shadow came from behind Shi Xiaole, its speed wasn’t very fast, but that was people’s misperception.
Red Charm Demon not only comprehended the full Entangling Intent Realm, but also comprehended the full Charm Intent Realm. The slow-moving red palm shadow in people’s eyes was the illusion she created.
The real palm force, only one thread, but extremely condensed, merged with Red Charm Demon’s entire internal power, enough to penetrate a mountain.
Within the limit of ten moves, the four top-class warriors of Demon Sky Sect would not be careless. Every move was a deadly one. Their goal was to defeat and seriously injure Shi Xiaole as quickly as possible, while heavily undermining his momentum.
Plop!
The red palm shadow shattered Shi Xiaole, but Red Charm Demon’s charming face changed again and again. A cyan shadow flashed before her eyes, revealing Shi Xiaole’s unrivalled figure.
Red Charm Demon retreated at the limit of her lifetime speed. Fortunately, the offensive momentum of the three Qi brothers arrived at this time, blocking Shi Xiaole’s pursuit.
"How could this be, how could this person’s progress be so huge?!"
Red Charm Demon couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
Shi Xiaole dodged the three consecutive killing moves of the four people working together. It was not as simple as just having quick "Flying Skill".
The speed of the Flying Skill, up to a certain extent, is determined by one’s cultivation level and Internal Power. But even if the opponent had broken through to the peak of Spiritual-Passage Realm’s seventh level, their Flying Skill could not possibly be this strong.
Thinking about this, the Red Charm Demon felt relieved that she had called upon the Qi brothers. Otherwise, she would have been defeated by the opponent.
Hoof!
Hoof! Hoof!
The four great masters, utilising all their skills, surrounded Shi Xiaole and constantly attacked him. By the sixth move, the omnipresent Inborn Gang Qi had filled every inch of the mid-air, obstructing the vision of everyone else.
People’s thoughts could not keep up with the changes in the battle, all they knew was that, so far, Shi Xiaole had not been defeated.
"A joint attack by four people would have defeated any master on the Devil or Wind Dust rankings, except perhaps for the Demon Marquis. No, rather, any ultimate Spiritual-Passage Realm master would be unable to accept so many moves from four fighters. This Holy Young Master is horrifyingly powerful!"
"What kind of Flying Skill has he cultivated, could it be a second-rate superior Flying Skill?"
Everyone was yelling in their hearts. Their initial feelings of schadenfreude and pity had long disappeared, replaced by deep disbelief.
They had never seen such a terrifying lightness skill, especially from someone in their early twenties, the shock they received was beyond words.
Although it seemed like a long story, all these events happened within a split moment.
Shi Xiaole had survived six moves.
If he could survive four more moves, he would win the battle against the four masters.
"We underestimated the Holy Young Master."
The masters of the Lan and Huang families laughed, given the current situation Shi Xiaole without a doubt would be able to dodge four more moves.
However, they suddenly discovered that Shi Xiaole was no longer dodging, but charging towards Qi Da, the eldest of the Qi brothers.
This was his first proactive attack.
"If you dare, fight me head-on!"
Qi Da roared. His eyes turned red as he used his internal power to fuel a forceful punch, making it the heaviest and fastest punch he had ever thrown in his life.
He did not believe that Shi Xiaole could block this punch.
"Storming Rain."
With a sudden leap, Shi Xiaole dodged the Qi Da’s punch, then quickly landed. His leg, like rain, moved like the wind. Aided by the Faceless Divine Skill, he summoned an overwhelming force like a mountain landslide or earthy flood.
Bang!
Crack!
Qi Da, the strongest among the Qi brothers, got his jaw smashed, and his body was thrown back, spraying a mouthful of blood along the way.
"The seventh move."
The one who spoke this time was Shi Xiaole. He slipped sideways into the crowd, decidedly faster than the wind. At least when the wind blows it makes a sound, but Shi Xiaole’s movement was silent.
"Swift as Lightning Wind."
Another kick, Qi Er’s eyes bulged out, not daring to believe that he was being knocked out, with blood foaming from his mouth.
"Whirling Grass in the Wind."
The ninth move, Qi San followed his brothers. A huge depression formed in his chest, constantly vomiting chunks of liver. But no matter how painful it felt, it couldn’t surpass his unspeakable shock.
"Xie Xiaofeng!"
Red Charm Demon looked panic-stricken, her body shivering, her hair standing on end and her pores opened.
In her sight, the blink of an eye, Shi Xiaole who was tens of feet away was already in front of her. That pair of cold and indifferent eyes made her heart tremble.
Passing by her, Shi Xiaole suddenly appeared in front of the Lan and Huang family masters, his black hair like ink, neat and tidy attire, not stained with dust.
"Thud!"
It wasn’t until several moments later that Red Charm Demon fell from mid-air, rolling in a disgraceful manner, and unable to get up for the time being.
The Faceless Divine Skill was too aggressive, even just the Wind God Leg, it had an overwhelming destructive power that could break through the defensive energy of the four great masters.
For Shi Xiaole, those who are qualified to be his opponents must first be able to keep up, otherwise, below the Dragon Gate Realm, there is no difference between the strong and the weak, as none of them were able to endure his moves.
He didn’t feel it himself, but everyone else was stunned.
It appeared as if both sides had sparred through ten moves, but don’t forget, during the first six moves Shi Xiaole was just dodging, and he only attacked during the last four moves. In other words, he had beaten the four great masters from the Demon Sky Sect with only four moves!
What’s even more noteworthy is, it’s said that this Holy Young Master is a swordsman, but he didn’t even use a sword.
What a terrifying thing!
Realizing this, there were bursts of sharp intakes of breath at the scene, hard to suppress.
"Worthy of being the descendant of the Divine Monarch, his aptitude surpasses that of the Divine Monarch back then!"
"This boy’s strength is simply beyond comprehension, he may be able to fight against the Demon Marquis."
The chiefs of the various Devil Paths were continually amazed, and their eyes were almost bursting with golden stars from the shock.
"Holy Young Master, hahaha!"
Lan Tian laughed heartily, very excited.
The other masters of the Lan and Huang families were looking forward full of reverence and with a passionate look.
In their eyes, that tall and straight figure seemed to cover the world, casting infinite shadows, bringing cold and fear to their enemies.
