Chapter 735: Second Kill
Whoos.h.!.+
A short arrow and a piercing sound that could cause one’s scalp to turn numb suddenly flew out of the forest like black lightning. It shot right past the right wing of the duck who happened to be raising it as it was talking. With a slight bit of blood, it landed on a tree in the distance.
“Gah…,” Duck Emperor groaned in pain and fell to the ground. A few white feathers fell off its body at the same time.
“Lord, how are you? Are you alright, Lord?”
The six Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples rushed forward and lifted Duck Emperor up.
Duck Emperor could no longer continue its act as it was in way too much pain. Tears already appeared in its eyes. It screamed, “My duck wing! My duck wing! It’s in so much pain. Gah!”
All the prestige and majestic aura from a beast demon were gone. Its image had crumbled in an instant.
All six of the Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples were puzzled. They refused to believe that a beast demon would disregard its image and cry out in pain like that.
“d.a.m.n it! Screw you b.l.o.o.d.y stinky duck! I almost fell into your trap earlier on. Fortunately, I’m smart and didn’t. Otherwise, I’d be the biggest joke in this group!”
All the members of the Black Blood Mercenary Corps were back. A dark, heavy atmosphere surrounded the forest, and the one talking was the middle-aged man right in front. With the light from the fire s.h.i.+ning down on his face, the scar on his face looked so much more terrifying.
“G.o.dd.a.m.n brat, what are you sitting there for? Time for you to make your move!” Duck Emperor shouted at Xiao Luo. It no longer had the guts to continue its act. Indeed, one would pay for pretending to be someone they were not.
Xiao Luo slapped off the dust from his hands, stood up, grabbed his Dragon Blade, and walked up slowly. He took a glance at the duck, laughed, and said, “Aren’t you going to continue your act?”
Duck Emperor’s face turned red, and then scolded, “G.o.dd.a.m.n brat! Are you doing this on purpose? That was just a short arrow. If you tried to stop it, you’d have surely been able to. I bet you purposely stood still so that you could watch that arrow shoot right through my duck wings.”
“Stinky Duck, you think too highly of me!”
Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows and laughed a little. In reality, he could have stopped that short arrow, but he was extremely p.i.s.sed off looking at this stinky duck pretending to be cool and wanted it to learn a lesson.
“Screw your ducking mum, you b*stard!”
Duck Emperor gritted its teeth. Of course, it knew that Xiao Luo was fooling around. With Xiao Luo’s ability, there was no way he couldn’t stop a mere arrow at all.
Xiao Luo couldn’t be bothered with it anymore. He turned around to face the people from the Black Blood Mercenary Corps and raised the blade. He pointed the blade at the man and, without hesitations, coldly said, “Two options for you: get lost now or die!”
Get lost now or die?
The people in the Black Blood Mercenary Corps were confused. These words were things that they only said to others. Since when did someone else ever have the guts to say this to them? Besides, it was coming from someone who was only at the level of a martial artist. This G.o.dd.a.m.n guy must have gone insane.
The six Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples were stunned. This guy was a senior-level figure in the Black Blood Mercenary Corps. He was at the peak of the martial spirit realm and was half a foot towards the level of a martial lord. Everyone else at the level of a martial artist or a great martial artist couldn’t seem to comprehend where Xiao Luo got his confidence from. To think that he actually had the guts to say something like that to the Black Blood Mercenary Corps people when he was only at the level of a martial artist.
“Screw your ducking mum! Stop pretending. This G.o.dd.a.m.n brat is definitely at the level of an ancestor!” Duck Emperor stepped down gracefully and softly whispered.
“Hahaha…”
The middle-aged man in the lead couldn’t help but laugh. Then, his laughter slowly turned into a sneer. He looked at Xiao Luo and said, “Brat, you are the first person in this area who dares to tease our Black Blood Mercenary Corps. I can guarantee that you will also be the last.”
“Brother Bao, stop talking nonsense with him. Kill them!”
“That’s right. How dare the man and duck make fun of our Black Blood Mercenary Corps? Skinning them alive won’t be enough to pacify my anger!”
“Show them what cruelty is!”
The members of the Black Blood Mercenary Corps stared angrily at Xiao Luo. They waited for the middle-aged man to give the order before they swarmed up and hacked Xiao Luo and Duck Emperor to death.
“Draw your swords and prepare for battle!”
Zuo Xiangming shouted and took the lead to draw his sword, standing on the same side as Xiao Luo.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
The other five disciples of Ziyue Cave Heaven drew their swords one after another, looking at the Black Blood Mercenary Corps as if they were facing death head-on, ready to fight these people with all their might.
“Gee, seems these rookies still want to struggle! Interesting. I appreciate it. Go ahead, tear them all into pieces!” The man had a murderous look and crooked his finger sinisterly.
The members of the Black Blood Mercenary Corps immediately charged at Xiao Luo and the others.
“Looks like you’ve chosen death. Alright. I’ll grant you your wis.h.!.+”
Seeing the members of the Black Blood Mercenary Group rus.h.i.+ng towards them, Xiao Luo directly raised his hand and chopped them down in one stroke.
Bang!
A fierce saber aura, which was more than a hundred feet long, cut through the void and fell. The forest was in an uproar. The violent wind blew, and the sky was dark. The bodies of the Black Blood Mercenary Group members enveloped by the saber aura instantly exploded.
Pft! Pft! Pft!
It was as if a powerful bomb had exploded in their bodies, causing flesh and blood to scatter everywhere and turn into a b.l.o.o.d.y mess on the ground. The people at the periphery were ruthlessly sent flying by this force. Their bodies crashed into a few large trees, and, in the end, all of them fell to the ground, spewing blood from their mouths. After struggling for a while, they stopped breathing.
The only one who survived was the middle-aged man. His entire body was covered in blood as he lay on the ground. His clothes were all torn apart, and one of his arms was broken. Blood was gus.h.i.+ng out from the wound, and he let out painful groans.
Hiss.
The six people from Ziyue Cave Heaven heaved a sigh of relief. They were dumbfounded; their faces filled with shock.
A single slash—just a single slash—had killed dozens of Black Blood Mercenary Corps members in an instant. Even those who had almost broken through to the Martial Lord realm were heavily injured and only had one left.
How was this possible?
Wasn’t Xiao Luo just a Martial Master?
“What do you mean by cruel? F*ck, this is what it means to be cruel!” Emperor Duck couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver. He was truly shocked by Xiao Luo’s cruel methods.
Xiao Luo didn’t say anything and walked towards the man who was struggling for his life..
“You… Who exactly are you?”
The man stared fixedly at Xiao Luo with his eyes filled with fear. This young man actually turned this place into a slaughterhouse with his saber.
“Didn’t I tell you to either scram or die? Unfortunately, you chose the latter!”
Xiao Luo wore a stoic expression on his face. After saying this, he killed the middle-aged man with a single slash.
At this point, more than a dozen Black Blood Mercenary Corps members had all died.
Zuo Xiangming and the rest could not believe their eyes. A guy at the Martial Master level had killed more than 10 members of the Black Blood Mercenary Corps in two or three moves, which was simply unimaginable.
They looked at Xiao Luo in astonishment. Even the beast demons were inferior compared to him. He was the real monster. The three Black Blood Mercenary Corps members were killed by the monster, Xiao Luo.
“Brother… Brother Xiao…”
Zuo Xiangming was about to say something when Xiao Luo raised his hand and interrupted him, “Do you still remember what you promised me?”
“I…I remember. The transmission array of our Ziyue Cave Heaven is always open for you to use. In addition, I will also compile a detailed map of the route to the Light Clan’s Holy Land,” Zuo Xiangming promised.
“That’s good. I’ll go to Ziyue Cave Heaven.”
Xiao Luo nodded and walked back to his seat. He sat down and closed his eyes to rest against the tree.
