Chapter 380: Chapter 379: The Terrifying Shi Xiaole (Update 4, Asking for Monthly Tickets!!!)
"So, you are the descendant of the Demon Alliance leader, the Black Devil Divine Monarch? I acknowledge the contributions of the Divine Monarch from the past, but to presume you can ride on your ancestor’s coattails to display your might has gone too far now."
Eldering Blood Buddha stared at Shi Xiaole, saying, "You just said you want to kill me? I’ll give you one chance to take back those words and apologize to me. If not, even if you are the leader of the Demon Alliance, even if you are looked upon favorably by the two Left-eye and Right-eye Elders, I will still teach you a lesson."
Evidently, Eldering Blood Buddha held the two elders in trepidation, but he believed that as long as he didn’t severely injure Shi Xiaole, those two would not intervene.
Were his earlier actions not a form of venting frustration, or a form of testing?
Think about it, the status of the Left-eye and Right-eye Elders is too high. Whether it’s Xie Xiaofeng or the others, to these two elders, all are merely the younger generation. If the younger ones have a conflict, as long as it is not too serious, would the elders step in?
"Oh, such restlessness."
Behind the Black Devil Divine Palace, in a certain room, the two elders were sitting cross-legged on a bed.
"That person back then defeated both of us brothers with a single move, and asked us to promise to protect the descendant of the Purple Extreme Dagger. Why must some people always give us trouble?"
The Right-eye Elder who had a stronger murderous intent seemed a bit impatient.
The Left-eye Elder laughed and said, "Blood Buddha doesn’t dare to make a heavy hand, be at ease."
At the square, the atmosphere was unnervingly tense.
Since Shi Xiaole had emerged victorious from the Mountain Cang tournament, his influence within the Demon Alliance was second to none - even the two Vice Lords were under his absolute control.
However, many now realized that the Demon Alliance was not something that Shi Xiaole could control on his own. The real bosses were the old masters.
At least people like Eldering Blood Buddha dared to challenge Shi Xiaole and asked him to apologize in public.
Unseen to the eye, the fear and reverence towards Shi Xiaole that had been painstakingly established in the hearts of the demons was slowly dissipating.
"Apologize? Do you think you’re worthy?"
With his black cloak swaying in the breeze, Shi Xiaole clutched the hilt of the sword hanging from his waist. His bloodthirsty eyes, not mitigated in the slightest, gave off a threatening aura.
"My Lord, we are all part of the Demon Alliance, and unity is of utmost importance. Why resort to this? After all, Blood Buddha is your senior, an apology from you doesn’t mean much."
A veteran master said with a smirk, surprisingly, it was the Black Darkness Elder who had previously injured him.
"Yes, after all, your subordinates didn’t die, today’s matter should not be amplified. I’ll make the decision and let it be."
Another elder master spoke up, waving his hand dismissively.
"An injury is simply forgiven? Where in this world can you find such cheap forgiveness?"
A few elders supporting Shi Xiaole sneered.
"Then, what do you propose?"
The Black Darkness Elder casually asked.
"I want him dead."
Before the elders could speak, Shi Xiaole, pointing towards Eldering Blood Buddha, reiterated word by word.
Upon hearing this, besides Black Darkness Elder and others, even those elders who were closer to Shi Xiaole were astonished, feeling that Xie Xiaofeng was being excessively arrogant.
On the basis of the opponent’s strength, trying to kill Eldering Blood Buddha seemed like a tall tale. Did he expect them to fight alongside him? But even with their help, they definitely wouldn’t be able to kill Eldering Blood Buddha.
By their level, defeating concurring opponents is difficult enough, let alone killing them.
The Holy Young Master is still too naive!
"Hahaha."
Eldering Blood Buddha laughed heartily, "Did you hear that? This boy wants to kill me." He glanced at Shi Xiaole in disdain and said, "And you think you can do it?"
"Indeed, only on my own, without anybody else’s interference."
Everyone thought Shi Xiaole had gone mad.
"Hehe, it seems that our Lord has great confidence in himself. We must witness this."
The Black Darkness Elder sneered and closed his eyes, leaving it all to destiny, certain that the spectacle of Shi Xiaole being beaten to a pulp would unfold.
Those who are not of their level can’t understand their prowess.
Previously, when Eldering Blood Buddha and another elder master were sparring, they were fighting halfheartedly. If Mr.Xie assumes that this is their strength, and tries to make his own show of strength, he is highly mistaken.
As for whether Xie Xiaofeng will get killed, that’s impossible. Eldering Blood Buddha should know the stance of Left-eye and Right-eye elders and won’t act rashly.
Of course, even if Eldering Blood Buddha wanted to kill Xie Xiaofeng, they wouldn’t sit back and watch. The Faceless Divine Skill hadn’t been mastered yet.
"To think that with only the title of the Alliance Leader, he can suppress everyone. How foolish!"
From within the crowd, Red Charm Demon laughed sweetly, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
Although the recent times had been quite lively, whenever she thought of Xie Xiaofeng being the Alliance Leader, Red Charm Demon would feel uncomfortable all over. She wished that Xie Xiaofeng would make a fool of himself, losing all of his authority in the process.
"Is it recklessness, is it to win people’s hearts, or is it..."
Demon Marquis had a calm expression, guessing inwardly.
For some reason, he always felt that Shi Xiaole was not reckless. Even if he wanted to avenge the Lan and Huang families, he would not stoop to this extent.
After all, if this thing goes too far, it is very easy to lose face, unless, he believed that he could fight with Eldering Blood Buddha?
Upon considering this, the Demon Marquis’ heart pounded, but he immediately shook his head, negating this possibility.
Is this a joke? Half a year ago, he only narrowly defeated him. Even if he was improving rapidly, it was impossible for him to compete with these centenarians.
"Surely, he knows that Eldering Blood Buddha wants to avoid Left-eye and Right-eye elders, hence he won’t attack with full force. That’s why he is behaving without any inhibitions."
Demon Marquis subconsciously made a judgement, calmed his heart down.
Surroundings were thronged with numerous pairs of eyes looking coldly, mockingly or excitedly at the oscillating situation, waiting for the drama to unfold.
Only the Lan and Huang families, along with a few highly skilled individuals, looked at Shi Xiaole with full faces of worry.
"Holy Young Master, a real man knows when to fold and when to strike, with your potential, sooner or later you will surpass Eldering Blood Buddha, no need to rush at this moment."
Lan Tian transmitted his voice, doing his utmost to stop Shi Xiaole.
People like Huang Rong and Lan Ye also advised Shi Xiaole not to be impulsive for various reasons, for fear that he would suffer a big loss, develop demons in his youthful fervor, which would be harmful to his future cultivation.
"Boy, do you think I really dare not touch you?"
Being constantly challenged by a junior like Shi Xiaole, Eldering Blood Buddha squinted his eyes. Too lazy to even call the Alliance Master, he took a step forward, and a formidable momentum erupted.
Within a radius of twenty feet, everyone’s blood seemed to stop flowing. If they stayed a moment longer, they would stiffen and die. In their horror, the crowd continually retreated.
"What a terrifying true meaning of blood! The Ancestor is clearly at the ’Heart leads Blood’ realm, being able to control the blood flow of his opponents."
Several disciples of the Blood Essence Sect retreated the fastest, recalling a certain supreme realm recorded in the Blood Essence Method, everyone’s face was filled with ecstasy.
"Blood Buddha has made considerable progress over the years, I’m afraid I’m not even confident that I can defeat him."
"Among us, he is the youngest and always had the hope of catching up."
Several famous elders talked candidly, speaking words that moved people.
Everyone was absorbed by Eldering Blood Buddha’s momentum, unable to speak. As for Shi Xiaole, they had long ignored him.
"The true meaning of blood, huh?"
Strands of hair brushed past his eye corner, feeling the boiling blood within his body, Shi Xiaole activated the Faceless Divine Skill, a majestic and imposing internal power surged, instantly dispelling the influence of the true meaning.
"Hehe."
Eldering Blood Buddha was not surprised. If Shi Xiaole couldn’t even withstand his momentum, it would be too laughable.
Taking a step, Eldering Blood Buddha spanned a distance of ten feet, raising his hand glowing with blood-red light, and instantly covered Shi Xiaole’s head.
This was an extremely humiliating gesture, like an adult slapping a child, the intent to humiliate was extremely obvious.
The sound of the wind blowing past his ears, with the palm getting closer, the blood in Shi Xiaole that had just been suppressed began to boil once again, with his body being out of control and his movements hugely affected.
The combination of the perfect Palm Meaning and the amplification of twenty percent by the true Meaning of Blood made Eldering Blood Buddha’s palm very terrifying. Once targeted, the opponent was like tied with an anchor, unable to escape and only had to be hit.
This is the strength of a renowned figure in the Devil Path, no action will be taken unless necessary, but once action is taken, the result will be determined.
If his Sword Heart had not been perfected, the Faceless Divine Skill would be useless under the disadvantage of both True Meaning and Martial Realm. But now, Shi Xiaole was not panicked at all and responded with a sword.
Swoosh!
This sword was so fast that many people hadn’t seen it clearly when the tip of the sword was already pointing at Eldering Blood Buddha’s brow. The accumulated sword momentum suddenly burst at the tip of the sword, producing a huge sound of blades cutting through the air, making many people’s body numb.
Boom!
The blood-colored palm was shattered, and the momentum of Shi Xiaole’s sword was also stopped.
Without giving Eldering Blood Buddha time to react, Shi Xiaole moved.
The Faceless Internal Power spewed wildly like thousands of horses galloping, like the Yellow River surging, Shi Xiaole’s body brushed past, blending into nothingness, instantly striking thirteen swords, as if treating Eldering Blood Buddha’s body as a flat board.
"Roll!"
Eldering Blood Buddha’s triumphant expression suddenly froze, he didn’t even have time to be startled, all he knew was to dodge Shi Xiaole’s sword with the fastest speed.
One was prepared while the other was too arrogant, unexpectedly creating a scene that shocked everyone in the field.
The thirteen swords crisscrossed each other, forming a grid. Amid the sizzling sound, half of Eldering Blood Buddha’s blood robe was torn apart.
"Sword Heart, a perfect Sword Heart!"
Black Darkness Elder shouted, his hair and beard all flying, his expression was astonished.
Was this true? Someone had comprehended the perfect Sword Heart before the age of thirty, what should the other swordsmen in the Martial World feel about this?
What should they feel about this?
"Kill!"
The words thundered out, carrying Shi Xiaole’s rising murderous intent, he performed the Death Claiming fourteenth sword.
The reason for not making a move just now was twofold. One, a direct devastating move would not guarantee a hit on Eldering Blood Buddha.
Secondly, Shi Xiaole had noticed early on that the Death Claiming Fifteen Swords, when used in a subsequent manner, could accumulate murderous intent continuously, thereby elevating the power of the final sword to its peak.
"Blood Shadow Palm!"
Under the panic and anger, Eldering Blood Buddha cursed his own underestimation, but Shi Xiaole’s sword was too fast. In haste, he exerted seventy percent of his total strength and a blood-colored shadow of his palm clashed with the sword spirit, both shattering in mid-air.
It was not until now that the thirteen sword spirits Shi Xiaole initially swung had just smashed into the ground, leaving an astonishing grid pattern, three feet into the ground.
"Old fellow, take another sword from me!"
After the fourteenth sword, Shi Xiaole’s killing intent had reached its limit. The crimson deadly intent behind him rolled and moved. As he swung out with his sword, his hand was no longer a hand and his sword was no longer a sword, but a crimson pillar of light, carrying a death and ominousness that made everything wither, rushing forward boldly.
Death Claiming Fifteenth Sword wasn’t a second-rate sword move, but a first-rate one. Of course, due to limits on perception and understanding, Shi Xiaole has not yet completely perfected it, it was at most eighty percent of its true strength now.
But even so, the power of this sword far exceeded the second-rate sword skill, and its murderous intent was so strong that it almost made the person facing it leap their heart out.
"Blood Cover Gold Body!"
Eldering Blood Buddha bent his legs and crossed his hands in a hurry, a ball of red light barely protected him, and the crimson light column hit it, pausing for about three seconds and immediately shattered it.
With a thud.
Eldering Blood Buddha escaped by pulling back, his old face flushed red. In the end, he couldn’t bear it, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
