Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Massacre Begins
Shi Xiaole looked around and said, "Where are the people from my Golden Phoenix Tower? Bring them out to talk."
The eyes of many Black Evil Gang members flashed.
The Scar-faced Evil God quickly concealed his alarm and chuckled, "Young Master, let’s talk calmly. The gang leader and others have gone out on business."
"Gone out on business?"
Shi Xiaole’s deep eyes veiled his emotions, he said,"How conveniently, Golden Phoenix Tower had dispatched so many people here, and today they are all gone."
Many people inwardly cursed their luck.
Particularly the Four Protectors and the Seven Evil Gods, who knew the truth of the matter, if Shi Xiaole were to find out everything, won’t they offend the Golden Phoenix Tower greatly?
Zhang Yuan emerged, laughing heartily, saying, "Honoured with the Young Master’s visit, this humble one, Zhang Yuan, has seen you. The gang leaders are out and will be back soon, why not come in and sit a while?"
Zhang Yuan’s thoughts were simple: procrastinate as much as possible. If that failed, he could imprison Shi Xiaole too!
If he allowed Shi Xiaole to escape, it would be a disaster for himself.
The only problem was, Shi Xiaole was strong. It is said that he even shined in the Cloud Sky Meeting, matching up to some of the upper-level Qi Absorption warriors.
However, seeing all the high-level members of the Black Evil Gang around him, Zhang Yuan chuckled at his own overthinking. As long as this young master dared to come in, wasn’t he at their mercy?
Others also understood Zhang Yuan’s intentions, concealed their sinister smiles, and invited Shi Xiaole in turn.
"Are you from Golden Phoenix Tower?"
Shi Xiaole looked at Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan was bowing and nodded, a very respectful look: "Young Master, please come into the hall first."
"No need."
Shi Xiaole’s observation was exceptional, everyone’s expressions were seen by him. Besides, he had been here for so long, and the only person he saw was Zhang Yuan, it was too abnormal.
Something bad must have happened!
With this in mind, Shi Xiaole no longer hesitated blatantly and said, "Members of the Black Evil Gang, now you have two choices: Leave or die."
When these words came out, over ninety percent of the members were first taken aback and then they furiously roared.
Did this guy think just because he was the young leader of Golden Phoenix Tower, he could do as he pleased?
He had just arrived and disabled a dozen of their brothers, now he’s demanding to dissolve the Black Evil Gang. His arrogance was unbearable.
Even if you are skilled in martial arts, you’re just a Hidden Qi practitioner, can you fight against the whole Black Evil Gang?
The Scar-faced Evil God had a flash of cruel light in his eyes and sneered, "Young Leader, although the Black Evil Gang now belongs to the Golden Phoenix Tower, you can’t do this. Where should we go if we leave?"
Shi Xiaole replied: "I don’t care where you go, I only know that from today onwards, the Black Evil Gang is no more. Also, my words were for the ordinary gang members. As for the Four Protectors and Seven Evil Gods, you should stay."
Hearing the chilling murderous intent in his words, the high-ranking members of the Black Evil Gang were so angry they burst out laughing, their faces red with fury.
Even Xu Tianliang couldn’t listen to it anymore. He thought to himself that this young master of the Golden Phoenix Tower, although talented, with this reckless way of doing things, could never accomplish great things.
The scene was filled with torrents of abuse.
The people of the Black Evil Gang had never accepted the control of Golden Phoenix Tower. However, many people knew that they were now under the protection of the Green Bamboo Gang and with their numerical advantage, they paid no attention to Shi Xiaole.
In fact, quite a few people, at the signal of an Evil God, had already quietly blocked Shi Xiaole’s way out.
They weren’t foolish, knowing that if Shi Xiaole escaped today, it would alert the Golden Phoenix Tower, and they would be in trouble.
"Young Master, restrain your anger for now, why not come in first and talk?"
Zhang Yuan maintained the smile on his face.
"Zhang Yuan, come here."
Shi Xiaole decreed.
Unsure of what Shi Xiaole wanted to do, Zhang Yuan, considering his safety, didn’t move.
Shi Xiaole nodded with a blank expression.
"Young Hero Shi, one should repay respect with respect. Your arrogance will lead to your downfall sooner or later," the Scar-faced Evil God ominously warned.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to harm Shi Xiaole, to avoid inciting the Golden Phoenix Tower’s retaliation.
But if Shi Xiaole persisted, the Black Evil Gang wouldn’t take this lightly. They could just imprison him with the people of the Golden Phoenix Tower, and then decide what to do next.
Hearing the threat from the other party, Shi Xiaole appeared oblivious and said, "I will only count to three. Leave or stay, it’s your decision."
"One."
"Two."
The members of the Black Evil Gang scofffed, unmoved. Did this guy think they were scared, that his words could sway them?
His strength was undeniable, but each of the Four Protectors were Qi Absorbers, and they were not necessarily inferior to him if they joined hands. Let alone the Seven Evil Gods and hundreds of Black Evil Gang members present, they could wear him down.
"Three."
As soon as the voice fell, many people hadn’t reacted yet, when they saw a flash of green sword light suddenly drawn, slashing towards a person in the crowd.
Chirp.
The next moment, a nice head was violently thrown up into the sky. It was none other than Zhang Yuan of the Golden Phoenix Tower.
Shi Xiaole had struck first against Zhang Yuan, the traitor being more hateful than the Black Evil Gang.
Before everyone could react, his second sword had already struck, aiming at the man not far from Zhang Yuan.
With two clangs, the second head was launched into the sky.
"Evil Sky!"
"Sir Protector!"
The entire Black Evil Gang was dumbfounded, it took them a while before they could finally react.
Cold Sky Protector, one of Black Evil Gang’s four Protectors.
"Kid, you’re asking for death."
"Kill him, avenge our Protector."
Stimulated by sudden anger, many of Black Evil Gang’s members, regardless of Shi Xiaole’s identity and strength, bellowed in rage and attacked from all directions.
By this time, Shi Xiaole was already using his Golden Goose Skill, soaring through the air like a wild goose, skillfully dodging a many of Black Evil Gang members, aiming for the second Protector.
When he first arrived, he made a point of researching the four Protectors and seven Evil Gods, he was clear about their appearances and wouldn’t make a mistake.
"Just because you’re from the Golden Phoenix Tower, do you think you can go around unchecked?"
The Protector under attack let out a loud shout, his body retreating rapidly.
Based on the facts in the Martial World, him being at the first stage of Qi Absorption, he was no match for Shi Xiaole. Only by attacking together could they have a chance to take Shi Xiaole down.
However, this Protector was clearly overthinking.
The two seemed to be yards apart, but this was merely an illusion created by the Chaotic Intent Realm. A blink later, the green blade pierced his throat.
He died without knowing how.
Instantly killing two Protectors left everyone stunned. Shouts of rebuke, battle cries, footsteps - the scene was chaos.
The remaining two Protectors and the seven Evil Gods, being clever, quickly dispersed when they realized something was wrong. They didn’t forget to command their subordinates to block Shi Xiaole.
Their idea was to exhaust Shi Xiaole’s energy first, and then the nine of them would attack together. They couldn’t believe that wouldn’t take care of him.
Yet little did they know, Shi Xiaole had already perfected his Golden Goose Skill. With brief periods of recovery and a little leverage, he could maintain his airborne posture without falling into their encirclement.
Dodging from left to right among hundreds of Black Evil Gang members, he not only avoided them but used them as leverage. In no time at all, he caught up with the third Protector.
"I will fight you to the death!"
This man was the head of the four Protectors. With one slash, his raging energy exploded like a tidal wave.
The Cloud Mist Thirteen Styles emphasized variability, it could suppress the opponent at the first move. But if the opponent moves first, it would require finding a chance to turn things around.
But that would take too much time.
Without any hesitation, Shi Xiaole pulled out the Hundred Battles Blade with his left hand. With one Draw Sword Skill sweeping out, he easily broke through the crowd.
With a clash.
Under the impact of a powerful force, the third Protector’s blade was knocked out of his hands. Shi Xiaole swung his right arm out, and his sword cut through the man’s throat.
"The Head Protector is dead."
The surrounding Black Evil Gang members were stupefied, shivering to their cores.
Aside from the original Gang Master, Kong Zijian, the Head Protector was the second best fighter in the Black Evil Gang. But he was killed by Shi Xiaole in two moves?
What followed was a one-sided massacre.
Shi Xiaole didn’t bother engaging with anyone, using the Golden Goose Skill to fly diagonally, never touching the ground. After killing a fair number of gang members, he continuously killed the last Protector and six Evil Gods.
The moment, the offensive momentum of Black Evil Gang weakened drastically, they were stifled by his ruthlessness.
"Young Hero Shi, why the need for such gratuitous killing, how about giving me some face?"
Just as Shi Xiaole was about to take aim at the Scar-faced Evil God, his attack was parried by a man to the side. This man was Xu Tianliang.
Scar-faced Evil God rejoiced and shouted, "You listen up, Young Master Xu is the young master of the Green Bamboo Gang, won’t you stop?"
Hearing ’Green Bamboo Gang’, Shi Xiaole understood.
The Black Evil Gang wouldn’t dare to harm someone from the Golden Phoenix Tower by themselves, the explanation, someone from the Green Bamboo Gang got involved.
Xu Tianliang, 23 years old, was incredibly talented. He had already reached the second stage of Qi Absorption, only one stage lower than his father. He said, "Young Hero Shi, let’s sit down and talk."
He believed that with his status, Shi Xiaole would have to consider his actions.
"Once I’m done here, we can talk properly."
With a little leverage, Shi Xiaole once again charged at Scar-faced Evil God.
"You go, I will stop him."
Xu Tianliang’s face changed, he said to Scar-faced Evil God.
Of course, he had heard about Shi Xiaole’s achievements in Cloud Sky City. It wasn’t a surprise to him. But Xu Tianliang couldn’t help having a competitive spirit.
In his opinion, even if he wasn’t a match, he could at least block a few dozen moves, enough to let Scar-faced Evil God escape.
"Bamboo Sword Six Consecutive Strikes."
With a flick of his wrist, Xu Tianliang immediately used his special skill, attacking Shi Xiaole from six different directions.
Clang, clang, clang...
Being airborne wasn’t suited for heavy combat. Plus, with Black Evil Gang members retreating, Shi Xiaole quickly landed on the ground.
"Bamboo Sword Triple Kill!"
Seeing his move succeed, Xu Tianliang burst into laughter, his sword jabbing out even quicker, trying to catch Shi Xiaole off guard as soon as he landed.
With this move, Xu Tianliang had beaten quite a few good fighters in the Martial World. If he could make Shi Xiaole stumble this time, it would be enough to make his name famous throughout the Cloud Triangle.
As Scar-faced Evil God ran a good distance away, without even a glance, Shi Xiaole swung the Hundred Battles Blade in his hand, drawing a gentle arc.
Chaotic One Slash.
Bang!
Xu Tianliang’s Bamboo Sword Triple Kill had only reached the second move when it was blocked. With a scream, Xu Tianliang had a conspicuous bloodstain on his chest.
Once the Chaotic Intent Realm reached ten percent, the power of Chaotic One Slash would increase significantly, far too much for Xu Tianliang to handle.
While injuring Xu Tianliang, Shi Xiaole had managed to throw his Green Blade, and in a blink of an eye, it mercilessly pierced Scar-faced Evil God’s chest, nailing him down on the spot.
