Chapter 855: Chapter 856: The Boss is Awesome!
Li Chen hesitated briefly before making up his mind. Following in the footsteps of the boss, he burst out of the Sunset Forest.
A few people activated their movement techniques, trailing far behind that golden chariot, following its path.
“Boss, be careful! The Cangye Wolf King lurks ahead, and it’s an old foe of the Earth Immortal Realm, incredibly powerful!”
Li Chen shouted from behind, hoping to alert the boss.
Aboard the Flesh War Chariot, Li Xiaobai casually cleaned his ears, unperturbed. The Flesh War Chariot, like a rolling snowball, was increasingly studded with severed limbs and broken bodies, offering both attack and defense, insurmountable for mere Demonic Beasts.
Li Chen’s warning didn’t even make a ripple in his heart; he even considered crushing the cultivators following behind to add to the chariot’s gruesome decorations.
However, after a moment’s thought, he decided against it. Turning the chariot around would be a hassle, and the few little cats behind him were far less attractive than the hordes of Demonic Beasts ahead.
“Roar!”
The horde of Demonic Beasts scattered. Many of them, upon sensing the thick, rolling aura of blood on the chariot, turned tail and fled. A large wolf with green eyes stood up, its gaze filled with bloodthirsty killing intent as it coldly stared at Li Xiaobai.
“Hmm? Thinking of running?”
“Heart of the Blood Demon!”
A giant, blood-colored heart appeared in the void, countless tendrils whipping through the air, piercing the fleeing beasts through the heart. The bloody heart throbbed as the bodies of the Demonic Beasts instantly shriveled, falling to the ground as desiccated corpses.
The chariot was in charge of crushing Demonic Beasts nearby while the Heart of the Blood Demon sucked dry any who tried to escape. In just a short time, most of the beast horde had vanished, reduced to dried corpses and scattered flesh across the ground.
“This is the Demon Path’s revered treasure, the Heart of the Blood Demon!”
“He actually has the Heart of the Blood Demon. Could he be the young genius of the Blood Demon Sect, specially coming to the Eastern Continent for training?”
“Very likely! The Blood Demon Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a Great Sect. They’d just let such a talented disciple out, not worried at all about his life or safety, embodying the grandeur of a Great Sect!”
The few onlookers gazed at the wild dance of blood-colored tendrils in the void, their eyes widening with shock. To Demon Path cultivators, the Heart of the Blood Demon was a sacred technique to be revered.
Seeing someone able to wield this ultimate technique now, their hearts naturally surged with emotion, having heard that even within the Blood Demon Sect, only a few disciples could learn such a skill, all of them with outstanding talents.
This boss seems to be much more significant than we thought!
“Roar!”
In the distance, the green-eyed giant wolf charged forth, unable to bear watching the one-sided slaughter of the beasts any longer, it decided to make a move, shooting two divine lights from its green eyes straight at Li Xiaobai.
“Boss, watch out! That’s the Cangyue Wolf King, its eyes harbor divine light, capable of spewing out Metal Slaughter’s Qi, slicing through everything!”
The twin-tailed girl couldn’t help but shout in alarm; being cornered by the Wolf King meant certain death. To fight such vicious creatures, one must maintain distance because the human body is too frail, engaging in close combat would result in an overwhelming disadvantage.
“Hmm?”
Li Xiaobai’s expression shifted slightly as he turned to face the charging Wolf King, his eyes colliding directly with the divine light, unfazed.
[Attribute Points +500,000…]
The Wolf King, with a gaping maw, bit down on half of Li Xiaobai’s body.
[Attribute Points +500,000…]
Wolf King: “???”
Li Xiaobai remained immovable; the Wolf King was perplexed, wondering if his inability to crush the person in his mouth was because he hadn’t hunted cultivators for years, leaving his bite weakened?
“Pfft!”
A blood-drenched tendril pierced through its brow, the Heart of the Blood Demon throbbed, instantly desiccating it into a corpse, tossed aside casually. The whole process took just a few seconds, seeming indifferent and routine, as though killing this Wolf King was no different from slaughtering any other beast, causing him no trouble at all.
“What were you saying just now?”
Li Xiaobai looked at the few people behind him with some confusion; he hadn’t felt that the wolf king was any different from the other Demonic Beasts—it was just another easily killed common creature.
“No… nothing!”
“It was just us overthinking it!”
“Big shot is awesome!”
The group watched dumbstruck, as what they thought would be a formidable beast couldn’t even survive a single move from the big shot. It was killed smoothly and effortlessly, no different from the weaker Demonic Beasts. The reality was astonishing.
What kind of cultivation level was this?
Earth Immortal Realm? Or maybe the Heavenly Immortal Realm?
They didn’t dare to think further. They had thought he was just a young prodigy, but now it seemed he was a wild, ultimate big shot!
“Quite a strange bunch, with what seems to be a lot of Sin Value. How about we just take you down together?”
Li Xiaobai looked at them, his eyes revealing a green and eerie shine, filled with greed.
The group was scared witless: “Big shot, Sin Value isn’t worth money; we are cultivators of the Demon Path who just registered with the Enforcement Team. As long as you are registered with Enforcement Team, a little Sin Value really doesn’t matter!”
“Yeah, yeah, I can warm your bed for you, big shot!”
“If someone saved your lives in a moment of crisis on an ordinary day, what would you do?”
Li Xiaobai continued to ask.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Li Chen said, “We’d kneel and kowtow, unable to repay such a great kindness!”
Li Xiaobai asked, “And then?”
Li Chen: “Then present five-tenths of one’s wealth with both hands, to express our gratitude to the big shot?”
“Think again?” Li Xiaobai said, smiling gently, showing a pleasant demeanor.
“Seven-tenths?” Li Chen asked tentatively.
“Think again?”
“It couldn’t be nine-tenths, could it?” The twin-tailed girl turned somewhat pale. If they had to give up nine-tenths of their possessions, there would be no point in living.
“I like guiding people to think things through and come to conclusions on their own. Remember to use your brain before speaking, think it through clearly. Understand?” Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.
“Understood. To repay the kindness of saving our lives, I am willing to offer up all my possessions to express my gratitude for your lifesaving grace, big shot. Please do not hesitate to teach us, and leave us your honored name!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Chen immediately knelt on one knee and surrendered his Dantian. In an instant, a radiant light burst forth, and a pile of resources appeared before him, like a small mountain.
Seeing this, the others also hesitated no further and threw out all the resources from their Dantian. They didn’t dare keep anything for themselves.
Finally having a chance to survive, they dared not defy the big shot.
“Hmm, you can be taught!”
Li Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction: “My name is Li Xiaobai, an educational scholar. I’m a righteous person. If you ever find it hard to get by outside, just come find me at the Second Peak of the Sword Sect.”
“Many thanks, Brother Li!”
The group brightened up immediately. Of course, they had heard of the great reputation of the Sword Sect. Compared to their insignificant sects, which barely had a standing, the Sword Sect, with a Half-Saint presiding over it, was a major Great Sect.
If they could seize this opportunity to join the Sword Sect and cultivate, gaining access to more resources, that would smoothen their path forward even more.
But the name Li Xiaobai also seemed somewhat familiar?
They had the feeling they had heard it somewhere but couldn’t recall it at the moment. Maybe that’s just how a big shot is, always managing to invoke a strange sense of familiarity and warmth.
