Chapter 534: Leaving the Battlefield
The seemingly solid, crystalline saber light flickered continuously. Xiao Chen chopped the fireb.a.l.l.s flying at him in half. As he did so, he calmly calculated the distance between him and the Fire Demon. “One hundred meters…ninety meters…eighty meters…. I have arrived. Azure Dragon Tail Whip!”
“Hu Chi!”
Xiao Chen suddenly moved in an arc. A huge dragon tail kicked up a strong wind and he instantly appeared in front of the Fire Demon.
The peak high-ranked Fire Demon was stunned. Its expression changed greatly. Clearly, it had not expected Xiao Chen to have such a strange Movement Technique.
“Ka ca!” The saber light flashed before the peak high-ranked Fire Demon’s horrified eyes. Xiao Chen chopped it apart at the waist.
Then, Xiao Chen extracted the Fire Demon’s Demon Core before floating back to the ground. Finally, he closed his eyes and started to digest the killing intent gained from this Fire Demon.
After a while, Xiao Chen opened his eyes again. His eyes were clear; the state of ma.s.sacre had completely vanished.
“A peak high-ranked Blood Demon’s killing intent is indeed strong. Such trials should be able to help me to perfect my grasp on the state of ma.s.sacre. I will definitely undergo a rebirth on this Nirvana Island.”
In the following days, Leng Yue served as Xiao Chen’s eyes, helping him locate the Demons in advance. After evaluating their strength, she would decide if Xiao Chen should fight them.
Xiao Chen knew that he was not very strong, so he did not venture too deep into the island; he merely stayed on the outskirts to kill some peak high-ranked Demons.
Time slowly went by as Xiao Chen tempered his state of ma.s.sacre in battle on this island, living a simple and dull life every day.
Five months pa.s.sed in such a manner. During this time, the blood moon appeared three times.
All the high-ranked Demons on Nirvana Island went berserk. All the Divine Dragon Palace’s elite disciples and the peak Great Perfection half-step Martial Monarchs fought intense battles in the center of the island.
The battle at the outpost islets was far inferior to this. After seeing it for the first time, Xiao Chen realized that this was the true core of the entire Battlefield.
During this time, the Demons would gather at the center of the island and attack the base of the Divine Dragon Palace. This allowed Xiao Chen a chance to sneak over and not get discovered by the large number of Demons.
Thus, every time the blood moon rose, Xiao Chen would observe the battles of these peak Great Perfection half-step Martial Monarchs. He would learn about and a.n.a.lyze all sorts of Martial Techniques, gaining a lot of benefits.
What made Xiao Chen happier was that he saw Sun Guangquan among the group of peak Great Perfection half-step Martial Monarchs. This senior’s cultivation had improved and was another step closer to advancing to Martial Monarch.
------
On this particular day, Xiao Chen attracted a total of five peak high-ranked Fire Demons in one go. He only used ten moves to finish all these Demons simultaneously.
A large amount of red light flew into Xiao Chen’s forehead. The depravity of ma.s.sacre engulfed his entire body, but he remained calm; he did not lose himself in the desire for ma.s.sacre.
He had already grasped the state of ma.s.sacre by now; he had also gained a richer experience on how to deal with the bloodl.u.s.t in his heart.
Xiao Chen expertly extracted the Demon Cores and asked calmly, “Leng Yue, how long have we stayed on the island already?”
“Five months and sixteen days. Why?”
Xiao Chen muttered, “Let’s go. It is time for us to return.”
One had to pace oneself when cultivating. Xiao Chen had undergone high-intensity battles for almost half a year. He had already reached the limits of his body.
He was still young. He did not need to train bitterly on Nirvana Island the way those peak Great Perfection half-step Martial Monarchs did. Those people were already reaching the end of their lifespan, or this was their last chance to advance to Martial Monarch, so they had to bet the rest of their lives on this.
Xiao Chen still had plenty of opportunities in the future. He could not let himself remain stuck here. Doing so would result in a lifetime of regret.
The moment Xiao Chen left the island and flew above the scarlet sea, he suddenly felt very relaxed and at ease.
After thinking about it for a while, he understood what happened. He had spent a long time in a state of suppression on the island. Now that the pressure on his spirit was lifted, it was normal that he felt relaxed.
The dim scarlet sea now appeared very bright in Xiao Chen’s vision. After spending a long time in darkness, his eyes had gained significant benefit.
Xiao Chen looked down at the sea and his reflection appeared to be very different. After half a year of ma.s.sacre and experiential training, the tenderness and inexperienced look on his face were gone.
When he saw his reflection, he could not help but be stunned. He had not looked at himself seriously for a long time. Now, that he did so, he was shocked to discover how much he had grown.
Xiao Chen muttered to himself softly, “It’s been four years. Unexpectedly, four years went by in the blink of an eye.”
It had been four years since Xiao Chen came to this world. It was unknown if the him from four years ago would have imagined gaining such accomplishments now.
“What has been four years?” Leng Yue, who was at his side, asked curiously.
Xiao Chen did not answer Leng Yue’s question. He looked up and stared into the distance; his gaze seemed as if he could see very far. He said, “Someone is coming.”
Leng Yue looked up and, indeed, there was a team of nine people in the distance. They were all riding formidable Royal Blood Horses as they rushed over. They were headed in Xiao Chen’s direction; clearly, their destination was Nirvana Island behind him.
The auras of the nine were extremely strong; they were Small Perfection half-step Martial Monarchs. The one in the lead was slightly stronger; he was a peak Small Perfection half-step Martial Monarch.
