Chapter 8: Dare You Fight?

The ground was stained red with blood, and Yan Xiao's eyes turned red in an instant.

Bristling with anger.

"Qingxue, you're alright."

He hurriedly supported the little girl, filled with worry.

"Brother, I'm fine, don't be impulsive."

The little girl coughed dryly, took Yan Xiao's hand, and said softly.

"I've wronged you..." Yan Xiao lowered his head, full of unwillingness.

When Ma Pangzi insulted him, cursed him, or beat him, Yan Xiao didn't really hate him much; at most, he would just beat him up once he was stronger than him.

It wouldn't be too excessive.

But this pretty boy had actually caused Qingxue to be injured, and he had noted this grudge.

"Owner, Miss Qingxue's soul has been damaged and she is in great danger. Please immediately exchange for 【Soul Gathering Grass】 to restore her injuries."

The system reminded him.

Qingxue had previously used Dark Night Protection, exhausting her already meager soul power, and later suffered soul pressure from the man, causing her soul to be shaken; that was why she was so severely injured.

The world she could originally see turned into darkness once again.

She had no soul power at this moment, which could be said to be extremely dangerous; if the Cat Demon were to turn on her now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Cat Demon lying in her arms suddenly opened its eyes, its murderous intent fully revealed.

Afterwards, not knowing what it thought of, it slowly returned to calm.

Upon hearing that Qingxue was in danger, Yan Xiao didn't care about the price of the Soul Gathering Grass and exchanged for it immediately, "Qingxue, hurry and eat this."

Qingxue did not hesitate; she opened her small mouth to swallow the entirely emerald-green grass, then slowly closed her eyes and sat on the ground, her expression extremely painful.

Seeing the look of pain on the little girl's face, Yan Xiao asked nervously, "System, what is going on?"

"Owner, Miss Qingxue's soul is wounded and should be treated with a Soul Returning Pill, but the Owner's Fear Value is insufficient. She can only take the Soul Gathering Grass, and the medicinal properties of an immortal herb that has not been refined into a pill are extremely overbearing, so it will be very painful."

The system explained.

"How painful?"

"Heart-rending."

Yan Xiao felt as if his heart were being cut by a knife.

He looked at the handsome man with venomous resentment, the murderous intent in his heart nearly impossible to conceal.

"You want to kill me?" The handsome man saw Yan Xiao's gaze and asked with a cold laugh.

"Dare you fight?"

Yan Xiao said through gritted teeth.

"Haha, you are not worthy." The man laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke.

"Is that so?" Yan Xiao sneered, upgrading the Magic Sword to Middle Grade, a five-fold boost!

He exchanged for 10 Gathering Spirit Pills and swallowed them in one gulp.

With the Magic Sword enchanted, Yan Xiao's gaze was icy; he had no choice but to fight to the death.

Injuring Qingxue so severely was unforgivable.

He could not retreat!

Qingxue was his reverse scale.

Body Tempering 8th Layer, Body Tempering 9th Layer, Body Tempering Peak, Qi Refining 1st Layer, Qi Refining 2nd Layer!

Yan Xiao crossed five realms in a row before the medicinal effects of the Gathering Spirit Pills in his body were exhausted.

Seeing Yan Xiao's strength soar, everyone showed expressions of surprise.

The tall woman frowned slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qianyue Fairy looked at Yan Xiao with guilt, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

"Are you finished? My Master is about to unleash his ultimate move. Below the Nascent Soul realm, no one can withstand my Master's ultimate move..."

Dazhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva; he never forgot to flatter Yan Xiao, but facing an enemy who could fly, his tone lacked confidence.

The momentum was not enough.

"You are courting death!" The handsome man still didn't take Yan Xiao seriously and mocked him.

He was a genius cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Realm; no matter how powerful someone in the Qi Refining Realm was, they could not be his opponent.

"Dare you fight."

Yan Xiao said calmly once again.

With the Magic Sword enchanted and flickering with dark light, it had to be said that at this moment, Yan Xiao's momentum was extremely powerful.

With a five-fold boost, his strength was still no match for the man, but the power of the Magic Sword could not be calculated by common sense.

"As you wish."

The man stepped on his sword and arrived, landing on the open space in the distance, putting away his long sword to face Yan Xiao empty-handed.

"Feng Lin, mind your measure," the tall woman said faintly.

The handsome man nodded, indicating his agreement.

"System, spend all available Fear Value to boost the Magic Sword's attack power."

Yan Xiao said to himself in his heart.

2000 Fear Value transformed into purple dark light, all of which was added to the blade of the Magic Sword; the Magic Sword instantly grew larger, its momentum majestic.

This was the skill that came with the Magic Sword after its upgrade; Fear Value could be directly converted into attribute attacks.

Terrifying indeed!

"What an overbearing sword Qi."

Behind the tall woman, a youth revealed a look of surprise; if it were him facing Yan Xiao, without using his trump cards, the outcome would be uncertain.

"Strength too low, foundation unstable, unable to..." the tall woman said indifferently.

"Take out your weapon." Facing the handsome man, Yan Xiao's momentum had already reached its peak.

"You may strike as you please; if you injure me in the slightest, then I lose."

Feng Lin was very impatient, full of posturing.

"Then I won't be polite."

Yan Xiao sneered; there is a price to pay for posturing.

He struck with his sword, and purple flames like a towering giant wave lunged toward Feng Lin.

"It's over, it's over... this kid is dead for sure, Master, go!" Wang Dazhu ran to a corner, using his body to shield Qingxue, not forgetting to cheer for Yan Xiao.

"Petty tricks!" Feng Lin looked full of disdain, waved his palm, and a light screen appeared; he actually wanted to use his cultivation to resist Yan Xiao's attack head-on without retreating.

"Senior brother is being arrogant," Qianyue Fairy said with a frown.

The tall woman nodded, then shook her head.

It was unclear what she was expressing.

Yan Xiao could not care about their thoughts; at this moment, the Magic Sword had solidly struck Feng Lin's light screen defensive barrier.

"Hum~"

The air vibrated, sending out ripples.

"Is that it? Too weak."

Feng Lin looked at Yan Xiao from within the light screen and said with a smile.

"You will know soon enough."

Yan Xiao smiled faintly, his eyes suddenly turning red, the long-suppressed anger erupting in an instant.

Red Flame Triple Slash, first slash—Piercing Flame Heart.

A strong red light suddenly erupted from the Magic Sword, shooting out rapidly and striking the light screen, instantly piercing through it.

Swish!

The red light, like a sword, stabbed straight at Feng Lin's chest.

"Hm?"

Feng Lin was greatly alarmed, not expecting Yan Xiao to have such strange sword techniques.

In his panic, he had no choice but to use his hand to block.

Puchi~

The red light pierced directly through his defense, slashing his palm and leaving a bloody mark.

"You lost."

Yan Xiao sneered.

Feng Lin's expression shifted; he had just boasted that if Yan Xiao could injure him, he would count it as his loss.

Now he was slapped in the face, losing face in front of the goddess.

He was naturally a petty person, and how could he endure this?

His face turned dark and uncertain, then he flew into a rage and struck a palm toward Yan Xiao.

"Heh, I knew you would do this."

Yan Xiao seemed to have seen through his intentions long ago; with a mocking remark, his figure shifted, unleashing the second slash of the Red Flame Triple Slash—Flame Dragon Unparalleled.

Two fire dragons intertwined, roaring as they charged at Feng Lin with intense high heat.

The power of an enchanted attack is not to be underestimated.

If Yan Xiao were at the same level as him, this single move would have been enough to kill him instantly.

Feng Lin dared not be careless and finally summoned his Flying Sword, tracing out sword flowers to block the fire dragons' attack.

"He's cheating... Fairy sister, he's injured and still sneak-attacking my Master, and now he's using a Flying Sword to try and sneak-attack again, how shameless..."

Dazhu shouted excitedly; seeing his Master gain the upper hand, he was now full of momentum.

"Master, go! Beat that cheating guy, hit him... he won't admit defeat after losing, don't posture if you don't have the strength.

Look at my Master, his strength is invincible in the world, and he never tells outsiders."

Wang Dazhu chattered on incessantly; Feng Lin couldn't catch his breath and nearly vomited blood and died.

Wang Dazhu seemed to have reached the high realm of using his mouth to hurt people...
