Chapter 514: Mysterious Youth
“Ka ca!” Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber. It flickered with a scarlet light and an intense battle began.
One high-ranked Blood Demon was equivalent to a Superior Grade Martial King. Killing twelve high-ranked Blood Demons was much harder than killing the nine Superior Grade Martial Kings from earlier.
The battle lasted a very long time. In the intense battle, Xiao Chen executed all his Martial Techniques and Movement Techniques to the fullest.
In the end, Xiao Chen had no other way to end the battle but to wield his state of massacre at its limit. Once again, his mind became obsessed and controlled by the depravity of massacre.
Xiao Chen’s Saber Techniques immediately became much sharper. He looked more like a demon than the Demons when his eyes turned scarlet.
Blood never stopped dripping down the pitch-black saber. Xiao Chen’s robes were dyed red once again.
After Xiao Chen killed the final high-ranked Blood Demon, a copious amount of red lights formed by killing intent flew out of the Blood Demon corpses and into his forehead.
The blood pool in the scarlet throne filled up very quickly. The desire to massacre, for bloodshed, that Xiao Chen had been suppressing for a long time erupted.
Rationality and bloodlust clashed. Xiao Chen fell into a state of boundless pain again. His expression became very horrifying.
“Xiu!”
A dim light flashed. Leng Yue appeared and her pure face instantly turned incredibly charming. When she opened her big, round eyes, she looked very beautiful. It felt like one glance at her was sufficient for him to fall for her charms.
It was very strange. The moment Leng Yue appeared, Xiao Chen’s pain decreased significantly. His eyes turned from scarlet to crimson.
The desire to massacre also vanished, replaced by a primal instinct.
A hazy illusion appeared before Xiao Chen’s eyes. The Leng Yue before him seemed to have become his most perfect goddess.
Leng Yue looked pure and charming. Her smile was soul-entrancing. It felt like Xiao Chen saw the lover that he had long been waiting for.
This kind of Charm Technique did not rely just on the temptation of pure lust. Instead, it penetrated deep into the heart, evoking that nebulous emotion in one’s heart.
She is the one you have been looking for. She is the one who can accompany you to the end of the martial path.
Even if the sky fell and the seas dried up and the mountains toppled over, she will always silently accompany you till the end of time.
Such words constantly rang out in Xiao Chen’s mind, like hypnotism. They kept repeating until one accepted them as the truth.
This created a desire to have her, to possess her, her body, her spirit, her everything….
The most frightening thing was that this was not weaker than his bloodlust.
Xiao Chen relied on his strong willpower to resist this temptation, to deal with his frustrations.
When Leng Yue saw that Xiao Chen had now forgotten the desire to massacre, she smiled faintly and dispelled her charm. Then she stood before Xiao Chen with a calm expression.
After a long time, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. They had already returned to normal. When he looked at Leng Yue now, he believed what she said previously.
“Only I can pull you back from the depravity of massacre.”
Xiao Chen said calmly, “Your Charm Technique seems to have improved. Does it have anything to do with the earlier matter?”
Of course, the earlier matter referred to Leng Yue absorbing the swordsman’s Yang energy. She nodded without denying it.
Xiao Chen looked at Leng Yue and discovered that she was hiding more than he had imagined. He asked straightforwardly, “If one day, you do not dispel your Charm Technique and I fall for it completely, what will happen?”
Leng Yue revealed a gentle smile on her pure and innocent face. She said ambiguously, “Who knows?”
It seems like the Spirit Blood Jade will not be able to completely restrain her, Xiao Chen thought to himself, keeping his guard up. If Leng Yue successfully charmed me, it would be very easy for her to escape the control of the Spirit Blood Jade.
Without saying anymore, Xiao Chen purified some water from the scarlet sea and washed himself. Then, he resumed his experiential training.
Xiao Chen had not truly grasped the state of massacre yet. He had to reach the point where he still had a calm heart even when the thought of massacre filled his mind. Only then would he be successful.
Time slowly passed in a similar manner. Xiao Chen wandered deeper and deeper into the inner area. The Demons that he fought also became stronger.
Every battle was intense and risky. Xiao Chen nearly died on several occasions. When he tread the line of life and death, he repeatedly broke through his own limits.
The pool of blood in the scarlet throne also became a lake of blood; it was now much larger than before. With a thought, the surging state of massacre could spew out instantly.
However, when Xiao Chen used the state of massacre to the limit, that sense of depravity, of sinking into bloodlust, grew stronger. If Leng Yue had not been helping him, he might not have been able to endure for long.
Xiao Chen fought battle after battle, day after day, and night after night. There were nonstop fights and nonstop massacres enriching his combat experience considerably.
Xiao Chen gained a better understanding of his Saber Techniques and Fist Techniques in battle. Sometimes, he could even make small changes to the Martial Techniques to tailor them to himself.
The cruelty of the Deep Sea Battlefield hardened Xiao Chen’s resolve. The cultivators who died and became the Demons’ lunch served as motivation for him to continuously improve.
