Chapter 318: All Demons Are Sages

Yang Yang just walked away, exactly as he had said before; if Xu Ming could withstand his spear strike, he would leave without hesitation, clean and simple.

This actually made Xu Ming respect Yang Yang a bit more.

Even though they stood on different grounds, Xu Ming couldn’t help but admire Yang Yang.

Especially when everyone else seemed unreasonable, Yang Yang was overly reasonable, which made Xu Ming feel somewhat uncomfortable.

“Damn, what is going on?”

The demon race man carried a huge blade on his shoulder and scratched his head.

This demon race man actually wanted to fight another two hundred rounds with Xu Ming.

Xu Ming’s previous few sword strikes had completely ignited his fighting spirit.

Because he had never encountered someone of the same generation who could face him head-on, let alone someone who even had the upper hand. This thoroughly awakened his desire to win.

But now, seeing Xu Ming like this, the demon race man lost all interest.

Although it looked like Xu Ming effortlessly deflected Yang Yang’s sword strike, anyone with eyes could see that Xu Ming had spent considerable strength doing so.

And don’t be fooled by the small amount of blood trickling from Xu Ming’s arm; in reality, due to Yang Yang’s spear strike, Xu Ming was already quite injured.

If the demon race man were to fight Xu Ming now, even if he won, it wouldn’t be a fair victory.

“Ah, forget it.”

The demon race man scratched his head irritably, then looked up and loudly asked Xu Ming, “Hey! Human kid, my name is Cui Jian. Remember it. Next time we meet, we’ll have a proper battle!”

Xu Ming looked at the demon race man, first stunned, then bowed politely, “Then I’ll come to the Southern Demon Realm.”

“You’re coming to the Southern Demon Realm?” The demon race man was surprised, then laughed heartily, “Great! I’ll wait for you in Lion Country of the Southern Realm! Don’t die before then!”

After speaking, Cui Jian turned around, carrying his big blade, and left.

Both Yang Yang and Cui Jian had abandoned the Blood Bodhi main fruit. Xu Ming, being the closest to the Blood Bodhi main fruit, naturally picked it up.

When Xu Ming grabbed the Blood Bodhi fruit, his palm felt an intense heat.

Xu Ming frowned, plucked the Blood Bodhi fruit, and placed it into his storage bag.

Looking at his hand, the palm was scorched, the skin turning pitch black.

Xu Ming jumped down from the tree.

The others instinctively stepped back two steps.

Some short-sighted cultivators thought Xu Ming was at his last legs and attempted to kill him for loot.

However, with one slash of Xu Ming’s sword, they fell like straw men, split into two halves, their divine souls shredded by Xu Ming’s Sword Qi.

Another seven or eight cultivators attacked together, only to meet the same fate.

They forgot one thing—although Xu Ming might be injured, killing cultivators of the same realm or even one level higher wasn’t too difficult for him.

In fact, Xu Ming felt he had never fought such an easy battle.

In the past, Xu Ming often killed enemies beyond his own realm, sometimes even several levels above.

Here, most people were at the Dragon Gate Realm, with fewer at the Golden Core Realm. Although these people’s cultivation quality wasn’t bad, it wasn’t extraordinary either.

Seeing all the cultivators who rushed forward die, the others began to retreat.

Cultivators value their lives dearly, especially these prodigies of sects and dynasties. Even if all of them attacked together, they could probably kill Xu Ming.

After all, Xu Ming isn’t invincible, his strength has limits, and he’s also quite injured.

But who knows if they die during the attack, will it be themselves?

Even if they successfully surrounded and killed Xu Ming, how about the Blood Bodhi main fruit? It would still be contested. What are the chances of surviving and obtaining it?

Xu Ming came before Zeng Rong and a few others.

“Spare our lives! Zhuangyuan Lang, we won’t dare anymore! We truly won’t dare anymore! We were bewitched!”

Zeng Rong knelt before Xu Ming, repeatedly kowtowing.

Xu Ming calmly looked at them, “I’ll give you a chance. One of you tells me the name of the person who wants me dead, and I’ll spare the other three. How does that sound?”

As soon as Xu Ming finished speaking, the four exchanged glances.

All four knew no one would sacrifice themselves, yet each hoped the others would speak.

For a moment, their eyes were filled with caution, but they remained silent.

How could they make the other say it? Everyone knew how selfish they were. Even if they died, they wouldn’t let the others live, preferring to drag them down with them.

And Xu Ming surely knew this, which was why he deliberately said it.

“Does the Zhuangyuan Lang really refuse to give us a way out?” Wang Mingshan asked grimly.

“Ho ho.” Xu Ming chuckled coldly, “Then how about this? You four kill each other. The last one alive can walk away. That’s your final chance to live.”

“Begin, before the Sword Qi cage pierces you.”

Xu Ming didn’t even look at them, turning towards Shixin instead.

The moment Xu Ming turned around, the four started fighting.

By the time Xu Ming reached Shixin, the last person had emerged from the Sword Qi cage.

He was about to step out when Bai Zhan, heavily wounded, collapsed, his breath cut off.

Xu Ming clenched his left hand, and the Sword Qi cage tightened rapidly! Before their divine souls could escape, Xu Ming shattered them.

“Look,” Xu Ming smiled at the woman in front of him, “I’ve won again.”

Shixin: “…”

Xu Ming waved his hand and walked down the mountain. His voice echoed from behind:

“When a three-year-old child holds a gold brick amidst chaos, all people become devils.”

“To stand beside the laughing Maitreya Buddha with the protector Vajrapani, all demons become sages.”

[Today was an unforgettable day…

Originally, I was planning to go to Tengwang Pavilion with my family, but we ran out of money, so I bought tickets from a scalper on Xianyu…

On the way back, the car blew a tire on the highway…

I kept wondering why the car was getting harder to control…

Later, it was driving like a tractor, even smoking from the back…

Fortunately, nothing serious happened, truly a stroke of luck…]
