Chapter 214 - Princess Raksasa (1/2)
Everyone exchanged looks. Who was this idiotic-looking man? However, they couldn’t deny the fact that this was a terribly powerful man.
Cold sweat slid down Zuoqiu Qitian’s back without an end. He cursed the fact that he failed to snatch Xiao Chen’s body; otherwise, he would have the strength of the Apotheosis Realm by now and wouldn’t be forced into such a passive position. He asked solemnly, “Who are you?”
The red-clothed man stopped laughing. He coughed once, clearing his throat before replying, “Listen well. I’m…”
Bai Susu finished his sentence for him, saying, “The Little Demon King of the Bloodied Fiend Sect a thousand years ago, whose body was destroyed by the then Leader of the Thousand Feathers Sect, Ye Yuexuan. He escaped with his vital soul and regained his body after recuperating for a thousand years. People call him the Bloodied Mad Swordsman…”
The Bloodied Mad Swordsman jumped in anger. Pointing to her, he scolded, “Hey! Don’t you know I had to wait a thousand years before I could show my face again? Bai Susu, can you stop stealing my lines? Plus! Even if you’re stealing my lines, can you stop being so specific? You’re making me lose all my mysterious air!”
Bai Susu shook her head. “Idiot.”
The onlookers outside were swept up in a furor. To think that this man was the Great Demon King from back then, Bloodied Mad Swordsman! He had killed countless orthodox experts with his Full Moon Bloodied Blade. What was he doing here?
Zuoqiu Qitian had long gone pale in the face after seeing the sudden appearance of the Demon King from the Bloodied Fiend Sect. In a trembling voice, he asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Me?” the Bloodied Mad Swordsman pointed to his nose and laughed heartily. “Naturally, I’m here to steal the Fallen Dust Bead! Oh alright. Even though I’d like to stay on the scene for a while longer, you better hand over the Fallen Dust Bead as soon as possible.”
Bai Susu frowned as if she was offended by his lack of manners. She shook her head and sighed. “Idiot.”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows gathered into a frown as he turned to ask Yi Tong, “Brother Yi, what’s this Fallen Dust Bead that he’s talking about? And what’s that thing about Guardians that Sister Bai talked about?”
Yi Tong whispered, “Thousands of years ago, the Devil Clan was banished to the Realm of Boundless Purgatory. Back then, a Great God used his spirit energy to blockade the Pond of Gods and Devils, the path connecting both worlds. The spirit energy he left behind transformed into nine Fallen Dust Beads, which scattered to all parts of the world. If you gather all nine beads, you can unleash that Great God’s spirit energy and undo the seal on the Pond of Gods and Devils. When the time comes, hordes of members of the Devil Clan might force their way into the Human World.”
“That’s why those from the Devil World is hell-bent on stealing those Fallen Dust Beads. Back then, the nine beads were placed with nine families for protection. They were called the Guardians and the Zuoqiu family is one of them. I’m not too sure about the rest.”
Xiao Chen finally gained some understanding after listening to Yi Tong’s lengthy explanation. If nothing else, then this point at least: Unrest was descending upon the Violet Manor. Perhaps the Annihilation Times that Zuoqiu Qitian was talking about was about to arrive.
Zuoqiu Qitian’s face was as white as a sheet of paper. He had long expected such a day to come, which was why he was so desperate to snatch Xiao Chen’s body earlier. Both he and his family wouldn’t be able to bear the crime of having their Fallen Dust Bead stolen. His only hope now was Bai Susu.
“Sage Fairy, are you going to watch him steal the Fallen Dust Bead?”
Bai Susu replied placidly, “Of course not.” She flicked her sleeve and a malicious shadow flew toward the Bloodied Mad Swordsman.
The Bloodied Mad Swordsman immediately dodged the attack. Behind him, a building instantly dissolved into nothingness. The building wasn’t crushed to smithereens but dissolved into nothingness! Shocked, everyone fled far away. Most of the cultivators outside had also run out of the city, giving up their plan to stay and watch the battle.
“Bai Susu, are you going to fight me?! I said this once: Rather be a king in hell than a slave in heaven! Look at your current state! The once Bloodied Fairy doesn’t even dare to kill a mortal now!”
Bai Susu scoffed. “Aren’t you ashamed to say that to me? You went so low as to seek help from the Devil Clan, but have they made you a king?” She shot him with another attack of finger force.
The Bloodied Mad Swordsman swiftly evaded the attack and bellowed, “You! Very well, Bai Susu! Since you won’t consider our friendship as former sect mates, then don’t blame me for fighting back! Show yourself, Wheel of Bloodied Mirage!”
Following his loud cry, a massive rounded blade suddenly appeared in the sky. The blood-colored rounded blade rapidly crashed downward, shrinking as it fell. In the end, it transformed into a bloody radiance that swiftly flew toward Bai Susu.
Bai Susu pressed her fingers together and shot three-finger forces in retaliation. Three clanging noises resounded as the blood-stained blade was sent flying.
“Hmph! Wanna fight me? You lack a thousand years’ worth of cultivation!”
“Bai Susu, don’t be so full of yourself!” the Bloodied Mad Swordsman bellowed. He then sneered and said, “Is that what you’re capable of? I think you’re weaker than a thousand years ago! What’s wrong? Why don’t you tell me? I’ll listen to you.”
“Idiot,” Bai Susu scolded, shooting yet another thirteen-finger forces at him. Everywhere her force passed, turned into nothingness. While the Blood-stained Mad Swordsman frantically evaded these attacks, one of the forces hit his left shoulder. He yelled in anger, “Bai Susu! Are you really going to be so cruel to me?!”
On the other end, Xiao Chen saw that he wasn’t capable of interfering in their battle at all. He turned to the twelve ladies behind him and said, “I’m staying here. Can you go in and save someone for me?”
“Give us your orders, Master!”
