When the black-clothed girl heard this Giant Demon calling out to her, she pressed her delicate eyebrows together in a frown. A faint aura of infernal energy between her eyebrows almost erupted, but she kept it down.
âI wonder where that Muk Gu wentâŚâ Lin Ming only saw the black-clothed girl, and didnât see Muk Gu nearby.
âPretty little girl, why donât you come and play with me?â Ao Ri provoked again.
At this time, some of the human martial artists were already quietly retreating. They didnât want to be caught in Ao Riâs crosshairs.
The black-clothed girlâs eyes flashed with a murderous light and she instantly drew her longsword from its sheath. One didnât see the movement, but one could clearly hear the piercing sound of the sword energy as it passed through the air. The sharp sword light shined, thrusting straight towards Ao Riâs forehead!
âHumph!â
Ao Ri coldly coughed, and smashed that sword light apart with his fist!
With a ringing explosion, the sword light was broken apart by that fist!
Deng deng deng!
Ao Ri drew back three steps, his fist dyed red with blood.
The black-clothed girlâs expression was surprised underneath her mask. Her opponent had received her sword attack with his bare fist, but he had only been forced three steps back. His fist had been injured, but he was more or less unharmed. This Giant Demonâs strength was no less than her own.
She had originally wanted to teach this scum a lesson, but she didnât imagine that his strength would be like this. If they truly fought, then it would be difficult to decide a victor in a short period of time. She also had important matters to attend to and didnât want to waste her time getting caught up here. She turned around and stepped away. Quickly, her enchanting figure submerged into the crowd, lost.
âThat little b*tch!â Ao Ri cursed. But, he didnât chase her. From that one exchange, he could tell that this little human girl was exceedingly strong. She was most likely a top talent from some sect. Although he didnât use a weapon, his skill with a weapon wasnât much better than him using his fists. And yet, not only was his fist injured, but he had also been forced back three steps.
âWhat crap luck, I actually met a top human talent here.â Ao Ri was crestfallen. He had just been full-throated bragging that there wasnât a single human genius that could compare with him. The result of this was that he had been publicly shamed in front of everyone, and by a young girl at that. That little girl was able to stand evenly against him, and she also looked to be just a bit over 20 years old. She was most likely even younger than he was.
As his heart burned with anger and shame, he swept his eyes across everyone. Immediately, everyone drew back, lest they draw trouble onto themselves.
With all of the human martial artists bowing or backing away, the calm and confident-looking Lin Ming naturally stood out. Ao Riâs eyes instantly fell on him. âHm? This boy, it seems that there is some condensed infernal energy on his body. Is that a Blood Slaughter Token?â
The 12 Heavenly Demon Cities had a limited number of Blood Slaughter Tokens. Blood Slaughter Tokens were used by martial artists to assist in condensing their infernal energy and forming the Heavenly Demon Tattoo. If one didnât have a Blood Slaughter Token, then the infernal energy they gain from killing others would slowly disperse. It would take a much greater amount of effort to condense a Heavenly Demon Tattoo.
Ao Ri had already stayed at in a Heavenly Demon City for over half a year, so he was sensitive to the energy emitted from a Blood Slaughter Token. He was 50 to 60% sure that Lin Ming had a Blood Slaughter Token on him.
But the question was, how could a mere Xiantian realm boy have gotten a Blood Slaughter Token worth dozens of medium-grade Blood Demon Crystals?
Although Ao Ri was wealthy, he wasnât rich enough that he could ignore the temptation of a treasure worth dozens of medium-grade Blood Demon Crystals. It had to be known within Polaris City, a life-saving miracle medicine like the Divine Blood Pill was worth 100 medium-grade Blood Demon Crystals.
For a Xiantian realm boy to carry around such a valuable treasure⌠well, it wasnât Ao Riâs style to not steal it.
âBoy! Come over here!â Ao Ri said as he licked his lips. He looked at Lin Ming as if he were some delicious prey.
Lin Ming frowned. He hadnât said anything and he was also standing in an inconspicuous location. And he was the one that was eyed among everyone else here?
âF*ck! Lord Ao Ri is calling for you! Are you deaf!?â Beside Ao Ri, a few of his minions shouted out. To the people of Sun Flood City, anyone that could make a round trip to one of the 12 Heavenly Demon Cities and return safely was absolutely a ruthless monster. It would be advantageous and prestigious to be a minion or someone like this.
âHaha, boy, what bad luck you have.â Behind Lin Ming, the Divine Blood Pill vendor was enjoying his misfortune. He knew that once Ao Ri had locked onto someone, they wouldnât escape unscathed. âGo away. Why donât you go join in the fun.â
As the minions saw Lin Ming remained unmoved, they all cussed at him, âF*ck, who does he think he is? Letâs go teach him a lesson!â
As they spoke, they all rushed at Lin Ming. The black-clothed girlâs cultivations had been too high. They hadnât been her match, so they naturally wouldnât rush at her so recklessly. But facing Lin Ming, an early Xiantian realm amateur, his realm wasnât any higher than theirs and he was also a human. This was their opportunity to show off in front of their boss.
The minions attacked together. They deliberately intended to avoid his vital points and attack his limbs. If they ruined this Xiantian martial artistâs body and crippled his arms and legs, then he would become nothing more than waste.
Ca!
A bloody crimson light shot forth. Lin Ming flicked his five fingers, and five Blood Drinking Seals flew out like arrows! The bloody light leapt into the air, filling the skies with a fierce and deadly murderous intent that came falling down, enveloping everyone. All of the surrounding martial artists shuddered in fear.
One Blood Drinking Seal flew at each of the five Giant Demon minions. Bloody lights cut through the void.
âAhhh!â
The five Giant Demons cried out in pain as they grasped onto their right arms. Their right hands were all rolling on the ground; they had been chopped off, with blood crazily spraying everywhere! In an instant, Lin Ming had sliced off their hands, but he hadnât even moved at all.
âWhat!?â
âWhat did that boy do? What was that red light? Was that a concealed weapon?â
âWhere is the boy from!?â
With a single move cutting off the five Giant Demonâs hands, Lin Ming had shown mercy. After all, if he could cut off their right hands then he could also cut off their heads!
In the square, every martial artist, regardless of race, and all of the various vendors and customers were staring in shock. They had been waiting to see just how miserable Lin Ming would end up. But how could they have expected that this young-looking man was so ruthless?
In fact, if they knew that Lin Mingâs true age was only 18 years, their chins would probably have hit the ground.
The crimson light was too quick. It was fast to the point that they hadnât been able to see what it was. They only felt a thick and vibrant bloody energy in that instant, and a chilling shiver crawl up their backs.
âYou smelly brat!â
Ao Ri grimaced.
F*ck, how could he have such shit luck today? Both of these young humans that he bumped into had been abnormal freaks.
Ao Ri could also defeat those five minions in an instant. But, he wasnât sure whether or not this young boy had more cards he was hiding. With such an estimate, the chances of defeating this young man were basically a coin flip.
Was this little bastard really an early Xiantian powerhouse of humanity? Even a saint level talent of the Fey couldnât match up!
Ao Ri grumbled in his heart. In his half year at Polaris City, he hadnât run into such monstrous human powerhouses. But today, he managed to catch them all.
He had ridden the tiger and now he couldnât back down. Within Sun Flood City, Ao Ri was an infamous character. If it was known that he was smacked around by a human Xiantian realm boy and ran away with his tail between his legs, then he would be laughed at in the future by everyone. There was no way to extricate himself from this situation.
âAlthough Iâll lose face against this brat, Iâll still try my best. If I can catch him by surprise, then Iâll be able to gain the upper hand for three to five moves at least. If that happens, I can just back away and consider it as honorably stepping away.â
As Ao Ri thought of this, he coldly said, âBoy, I admit that I underestimated you a moment ago. You do have some skill. Since you injured my men, Iâll give you a chance. If you can take three moves of mine, then I will let this matter go!â
Ao Ri shamelessly proclaimed. At this time, he no longer dared to scheme about Lin Mingâs Blood Slaughter Token. All that was in his mind was how to gain the upper hand in these next three moves and avoid losing his hard earned reputation.
Lin Mingâs face had a hint of a taunting smile. Heâd let this fool bumble about as he wished.
Ca!
Ao Ri flourished his weapon. This was the medium-grade earth-step spear that he purchased from the Sun Flood Pavillion at a great price. He hadnât even taken out his weapon against the black-clothed girl, but against Lin Ming, he had no choice but to go all out.
âBoy, you wonât use your weapon?â As Ao Ri saw that Lin Ming wasnât moving, he felt ill. âIf you look down on me, then youâre just asking to die!â
âDemon Tyrant World!â
Ao Ri loudly shouted and thrust his spear out. Behind Ao Ri, the shade of a Demon King manifested. On the back of this Demon King shade was a great pair of wings.
As the Demon King shade appeared, Ao Riâs aura instantly erupted. It was like the heavens and earths were being stirred up by his spear.
âItâs the Heavenly Demon Tattoo; Ao Ri is serious now.â
âHe condensed the Heavenly Demon Tattoo in Polaris City. It is able to increase the power of demonic martial skills. Iâm so jealous of him.â
Everyone sighed. At this time, Lin Ming attacked. Without a weapon in hand, he took a sudden step forwards and punched out.
Body Tearing Bone Shattering Fist!
Vibrating true essence combined with dozens of Blood Drinking Seals as they shot out. The sky filled with flashing red lights, and the winged Heavenly Demon shade was directly cut into pieces by the Blood Drinking Seals. Right after, the vibrating true essence broke it apart, disintegrating it into nothing!
âWhat!?â
Ao Riâs expression changed. He desperately stimulated all of his bodily demon essence protection to the limit. However, how could mere bodily demon essence stand up to the incomparably sharp Blood Drinking Seals?
Pu!
Ao Riâs protective true essence was torn apart like it was thin paper. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards, landing unconscious on the floor.
After winning with a single move, Lin Ming wasnât moved. With his current strength, there were very few people in the younger generation that were a worthy opponent for him. Not to mention that Ao Ri wasnât even a top talent of the younger generation. That fellow Muk Gu that he had met before was much more formidable.
âHeâs too strong; Ao Ri isnât even on his level!â
âThis strength may not be able to sweep away everyone in the outer ward of Polaris City, but it should be enough to rule over a small area! This fellow is only at the early Xiantian realm, but he looks so young. I donât know which sect raised a talent like this. Itâs hard to imagine that a human Xiantian martial artist would be able to cultivate to this degreeâŚâ
As the surrounding martial artists discussed Lin Ming, the Divine Blood Pill vendor behind him turned ashen. In Sun Flood City, although casual murder in the streets didnât happen often, it did happen. If this young man could defeat Ao Ri so easily, then he could die just as easily. It wasnât difficult to imagine the scene that would occur. As the vendor thought back to his rude and dismissive behavior towards Lin Ming, he felt chills crawl up his spine. He was terrifiedâŚ
1000 feet away from the square, a black-clothed youth faintly smiled. âHoh, you really canât judge a book by its cover. Junior-apprentice Sister, this young man is much stronger than you are.â
The black-clothed youth who spoke was Muk Gu. Beside him was the black-clothed girl, his junior-apprentice sister Muk Qing.
âHe is truly stronger than I am, but, I believe I will be able to surpass him in the next several years!â Muk Qing said, not too satisfied.
âSurpass him? That might not be possible. He might even be younger than you.â Muk Gu glanced at Muk Qing and smiled.
