Chapter 112: Senior Brother Left Us Behind to Save His Own Skin!

Xiao Yang donned a golden dragon-patterned mask, intending to have an awesome showdown with Ming He and Yin Yue.

But guess what? Those two wimps just up and fled!

Xiao Yang was pretty annoyed, but what could he do?

These two were divine martial powerhouses; if they wanted to run, who could stop them?

Just as he was about to leave, all of Black Wind City suddenly shook.

Houses crumbled left and right, dust filled the air, and the ground split apart.

A powerful force surged from deep underground.

Xiao Yang was taken aback.

Did Black Wind City have some giant hidden down below?

No way!

The Blood Demon and his minions were taken out.

The Blood Pool had collapsed.

There couldn’t possibly be something that strong left!

At that moment, the entire Black Wind City began to collapse from the central square.

A massive force erupted from where it was crumbling.

A gigantic vortex appeared in the sky, devouring everything around it.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Buildings were sucked into the vortex above, and countless stones and dust flew up towards it.

The black vortex looked like it was going to swallow the entire world.

Xiao Yang and Lei Lie hurriedly dodged.

The vortex in the sky quickly expanded, engulfing the entire sky.

Before long, everything in the city was pulled into it.

Countless bodies from below were also swept away.

This city, which had stood on Black Wind Ridge for a thousand years, vanished in an instant, leaving not a single brick behind, as if it had never existed.

As the enormous vortex quickly dissipated, a giant figure appeared before Xiao Yang’s eyes.

“Hmm?”

Xiao Yang’s expression grew serious behind his mask.

“Senior, this…”

Lei Lie stared in shock at the “giant” made of countless stones and dust.

This existence from deep underground had just wiped out a city in an instant, forming a “giant” from its ruins.

What terrifying power!

“Whoa!”

Before Xiao Yang could speak, the mountain-like “giant” swung a fist straight at him and Lei Lie.

The giant’s fist was the size of a small mountain, and when it came crashing down, the air trembled.

The wind from that punch was so violent that stones and trees on the ground got swept away, dust flying, and the sun and moon darkened.

Xiao Yang soared into the sky, dodging that punch and landing right on the giant’s fist.

He swiftly ran up the giant’s arm.

The giant reached out its left hand to swat Xiao Yang, who was running on its right arm, as if trying to swat a fly.

In comparison to this giant, Xiao Yang looked like a mere insect.

Just as the giant’s hand came crashing down, Xiao Yang pushed off hard against its arm and launched himself toward its head.

“Boom!”

The giant’s left hand smashed down on its own right arm.

The entire arm shattered, sending countless bits of sand, rock, and debris flying, along with pale corpses.

And at that moment, Xiao Yang landed on top of the giant’s head.

“Break for me!”

Xiao Yang roared and slammed his fist down on the giant’s head.

The fierce fire-infused punch exploded.

With this punch, he drew on his own strength and the power of the Fire Lin Beast from his right arm.

Immediately, cracks formed on the giant’s head.

Those cracks spread from the head down to the neck, and then across its body, quickly covering it.

Ultimately, the entire giant was riddled with fissures, flames bursting from them.

“Boom!”

With a deafening sound, the giant comparable to a mountain exploded.

Dust shot skyward, blocking out the sun.

It was as horrifying as an apocalypse.

Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie was stunned by the scene.

The Sword Saint is so powerful!

…

“What just happened?”

Hundreds of miles away, disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect also witnessed this astonishing scene.

On a nearby mountain, a silver giant python coiled up.

The area around the python was covered in frost.

Jiang Ting and the others thought the Ice-Bound Profound Python was a spirit beast raised by that mysterious Sword Saint.

Could it be that mysterious Sword Saint is making a move?

Everyone was puzzled.

“Did Senior Brother leave us here to fend for ourselves?”

Qin Fei, lying on the ground, suddenly spoke up.

“Senior Brother is so selfish, not caring about our lives and leaving us all behind!” Zheng Fan exclaimed, his face full of indignation.

The others looked equally upset.

They had fled here amidst the chaos and hadn’t noticed Xiao Yang’s departure.

Under Qin Fei’s guidance, they all began to think that Xiao Yang was just trying to save his own skin.

“Don’t say that, little junior brother! Senior Brother isn’t like that!” Lin Wangchuan retorted angrily.

“Yeah, how could Senior Brother be so cowardly? He must have had something urgent to leave for!” Song Qiang added.

“If Senior Brother wasn’t scared, why did he leave so quietly? Why didn’t he stay to protect us?” Qin Fei argued loudly.

Everyone agreed, and discontent towards Xiao Yang stirred in their hearts.

“Uh…”

Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang felt anxious; they wanted to defend Xiao Yang but struggled to find the right words.

“Senior Brother…”

Jiang Ting clenched her fists, filled with resentment.

Qin Fei noticed their expressions, feeling triumph inside.

Little did they know, their Senior Brother Xiao Yang was still fighting against the enemy!

Xiao Yang had literally saved their lives.

Yet a few provoking words from Qin Fei turned them against Xiao Yang completely.

In their minds, the Senior Brother they once admired had become a coward who didn’t care about his companions!

Why would they rather believe Qin Fei’s words than trust that their Senior Brother wasn’t like that?

This infuriated Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang.

Their Senior Brother Xiao Yang was definitely not that kind of person!

…

Meanwhile, the dust from the giant’s explosion enveloped an area of several dozen miles.

The dust obscured the sky and sun.

Suddenly, the ground erupted, and a blood shadow burst forth.

The blood shadow moved at incredible speed, breaking through the dust and rushing toward Xiao Yang, throwing a punch.

“Bam!”

Xiao Yang also swung his fist, meeting the attack head-on.

He felt a strange evil energy surge into his fist from the opponent’s punch.

In the next moment, both were knocked back by the force of their attack.

Xiao Yang steadied himself but felt that invading evil energy start to creep up his arm.

“Hmph!”

Xiao Yang summoned the power of the Fire Lin Beast; flames surged from his hand, driving the invading energy out.

He integrated the Fire Lin Beast’s power into his arm, turning his right arm into a true Fire Lin Arm.

“Is it you?”

At that moment, Xiao Yang finally recognized the blood-colored figure.

It was the Knife Demon Li Kuang!

Wasn’t this guy rendered useless after Xiao Yang broke his dantian and sent him plummeting into the Underground Blood Pool?

How did he end up like this?

With a sinister aura emitting from Li Kuang, Xiao Yang felt a chill in his heart.

The guy had somehow restored his power back to the peak of the Divine Martial Realm.

This was impossible.

“Didn’t expect this, did you? I not only survived but thrived, thanks to you ruining my dantian! To thank you, I’ll leave you with a whole corpse; turning you into my blood slave sounds pretty good too.”

Li Kuang grinned wickedly at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang, behind his golden mask, glared at Li Kuang.

That power emanating from him seemed eerily similar to the Blood Demon’s, but with a more demonic quality.

Did he absorb the Blood Demon’s power to fix his dantian and turn into this?

Li Kuang had bright red hair, blood-red eyes, and was bare-chested, with blood vessels creeping all over his body where his dantian once was.

Fixing a shattered dantian wasn’t easy.

This was hard to believe.

How did he manage that?

The Blood Demon had been turned to ash by the divine fire from the Fire Lin Beast.

Li Kuang couldn’t have absorbed the Blood Demon’s power.

Looks like he absorbed the power from the Blood Pool.

Xiao Yang stared at Li Kuang, thinking that Li Kuang had become this way by soaking in the Blood Pool’s power.

In reality, Li Kuang had absorbed the Blood Pill’s power to repair his dantian and restore his cultivation.

Now, Li Kuang had all the power of demons within him; he was no longer just the Knife Demon but had transformed into the more terrifying Blood Demon Li Kuang.

“I’m going to suck you dry!”

Li Kuang roared, charging straight at Xiao Yang.
