Dominating Martial King
Chapter 116 - 116 113 Suppression Seeking Monthly Ticket Subscriptions for the Third Release

116: Chapter 113 Suppression (Seeking Monthly Ticket Subscriptions for the Third Release) 116: Chapter 113 Suppression (Seeking Monthly Ticket Subscriptions for the Third Release) Chu Xisheng’s “Rune Blood Refining Blade” had already been sheathed.

Many beheld a scene where his sword seemed never drawn, merely a stride forward, and five bodies had already fallen to the ground, lifeless.

From a distance, Lu Chen and others wore solemn expressions, each gripping their weapons in silent contemplation.

Chu Xisheng’s swordplay was fast, frighteningly so, beyond their expectations.

They could press on with the attack, but the cost would be unimaginably brutal.

One misstep and they themselves could die by Chu Xisheng’s hand.

The Corpse Dog Li Manshan clenched his gold-threaded boxing gloves tightly then relaxed his grip.

He was eager to test Chu Xisheng’s blade, to see to what realm his sword skill had reached, potentially honing his own fist technique and martial intent in the process.

But the timing was not right.

Li Manshan had come bearing a heavy mandate from his sect to secure the Ninth Grade Secret Realm that could produce a great amount of Spiritual Medicine, and even be utilized for corpse refining, so he could not afford to fall before his mission was accomplished.

He had to preserve himself with the utmost caution.

Now, in Chu Xisheng’s vision, another cluster of fireworks exploded.

This time the amount of Martial Arts Points increased significantly, from 9 to 24 points.

A smile played at the corner of his lips as he continued to stride forward.

Chu Xisheng’s Vengeful Blade Intent had been retracted, yet in everyone’s eyes, his presence seemed even more imposing and defiant!

Step by step he approached, bearing down like a mountain.

Ahead, a group of Ninth Grade martial cultivators had darkened expressions, their aura chillingly frosty.

They all held onto their weapons, ready to engage in combat at any moment.

However, orders from behind were still not forthcoming.

Seeing that the Qingyun geniuses showed no intention of fighting, the remaining twenty-some factions were not foolish enough to sacrifice their men in vain.

Thus, as Chu Xisheng advanced a step, the crowd in front of him retreated a step.

They were forced to split down the middle, opening a pathway on either side.

The Zhou Family’s members were initially apprehensive.

Yet seeing this, they all lifted their chins proudly, their eyes alight with pride, their will to fight strengthened.

Zhou Liangchen, however, was unconcerned.

This scene had been within his expectations.

In Zhou Liangchen’s opinion, Chu Xisheng clearly hadn’t used his full strength just now.

At the very least, Chu Xisheng’s sword speed was slower than at Fire Bone Cave, much slower!

Chu Xisheng continued forward, sauntering leisurely through the crowd until he reached the four steles.

There, he paused again, turning to sweep a cold gaze over the crowd.

In fact, he was quite looking forward to these prodigies making a move against him.

Chu Xisheng could take advantage of Qin Muge’s 10-year-old character card to dispatch one or two strong opponents first.

The card’s remaining time wasn’t much, only two minutes, no need to waste it.

The ten-year-old Qin Muge certainly couldn’t beat so many.

However, now with his back to those four pathways, if he was ever overpowered, retreating inside would be his strategy.

To his disappointment, those Qingyun prodigies remained hidden within the crowd, with no intention of coming forward to challenge him.

Even Ying Haobai showed no signs of activity.

After waiting for nearly half a moment and seeing continued silence in the arena, Chu Xisheng turned with a look of disappointment and looked towards the four pathways beyond the steles.

In that instant, the faces of the Qingyun geniuses turned an ashen purple.

Though Chu Xisheng had said nothing, his demeanor was undoubtedly the greatest insult to them.

Chu Xisheng hesitated only briefly before choosing the third path, marked by the “Demon” character stele, and proceeded towards it.

But just as Chu Xisheng was about to step onto the Demon Path, a cold voice came from behind him, “You should think carefully, the Demon Path is the most dangerous of the four.”

Chu Xisheng turned around to look back and saw that the speaker was the young sorcerer named Mu Ling.

His gaze was deep as he looked at Chu Xisheng, “I observed the Qi earlier, and the Demon Path is filled with a heavy blood energy.

Entering it you might risk losing your lives.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng’s heart skipped a beat.

Shouldn’t the “Demon” Path be one of the weaker ones?

With “God” and “Demon” in their names, those paths were clearly trouble that Chu Xisheng admitted he was not equipped to deal with.

Taking the seemingly weaker “Ghost” Path would appear too cowardly, thus he had chosen the “Demon” Path.

Chu Xisheng wondered internally whether he should swallow his pride and choose another path.

This young sorcerer looked like an earnest person, unlikely to be spinning tales to deceive him.

However, just as he hesitated, Zhou Liangchen coldly sneered with disdain, “Take care of yourselves!

Be it gods, demons, ghosts, or monsters, we can cut them down.

To actually seek omens of good and evil fortune before combat, what kind of Martial Cultivators are you?”

Chu Xisheng was stunned for a moment, staring fixedly at Zhou Liangchen.

“Brother Zhou’s words are indeed domineering; it seems you are prepared to meet death without fear.”

In reality, he thought, I should really thank you!

Chu Xisheng became more and more certain that Zhou Liangchen was a type who specialized in leading his teammates into trouble.

And here he was, pushing him further into the pit.

Zhou Liangchen thought Chu Xisheng was praising him and explained indifferently, “Where is that coming from?

Everyone fears death, and I’m no exception.

However, these sorcerers’ so-called ‘Qi Observation,’ although it can ascertain good and bad omens to some extent, doesn’t have to be fully believed.

“Whatever the Divine Turtle Wanderer left in the Demon Word Path, it cannot be higher than Ninth Grade.

What is there to fear?

If we, as Martial Cultivators, lose our courage to go forth and harbor a heart of avoiding difficulty for the sake of safety, we won’t get far.

Besides, with Brother Chu’s Sword Skill, there is nowhere in this Ninth Grade Secret Realm we cannot go!”

He was certainly not a person reckless or devoid of intelligence; he had his own calculations in mind.

But the corners of Chu Xisheng’s lips couldn’t help but twitch.

After all, he wasn’t really Qin Muge.

Chu Xisheng realized his ‘Face-saving Technique’ was not yet perfected, unable to retreat and change course under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

He could only bite the bullet and nod in agreement, “Well said!”

Without any hesitation, Chu Xisheng then stepped into the depths of the valley path.

As Chu Xisheng entered the ‘Demon’ Character Path with the people of the Zhou Family, Si Huangquan, who had been standing aside and observing, also began to move.

He watched Chu Xisheng’s retreating figure, his dark eyes showing a hint of admiration and seriousness.

This man was indeed the most dangerous opponent in this Secret Realm’s struggle.

At that moment, dozens of people quietly moved closer to Si Huangquan, forming an encirclement around him.

A flicker of light in Si Huangquan’s eyes revealed a mocking sneer.

These people didn’t dare to attack Chu Xisheng but managed to summon a bit of courage against him.

The next instant, Si Huangquan’s figure dashed forward like lightning, fast as a shadow.

Wherever he passed by, sparks flew, and the clangs of weapons clashing were incessant.

In the short distance of thirty feet, Si Huangquan encountered at least fifty people, with “Shadowless Sword” Zhuo Baiyun doing his utmost to intercept him forcefully, while several other geniuses of Qingyun restrained him from the side and made secret poisonous attacks.

Yet Si Huangquan’s speed was so astonishing that he moved swiftly through the crowd.

Eventually, only three places on his bandages were torn, and his iron-hard body was slashed with only a few marks by swords before he rushed into the ‘God’ Character Path and disappeared into the deep fog.

Zhuo Baiyun watched Si Huangquan leave, his forehead furrowing into a deep frown, his expression gloomy.

“That Immortal, this man is too rich, wrapped in gold and iron forging from head to toe, as strong as a Seventh Rank weapon,” exclaimed Silver Patterned Tiger Lu Chen, unable to hold back his swearing.

“This fellow’s trickiness is probably only second to Chu Xisheng’s.”

Zhuo Baiyun’s expression returned to normal, and he swept his gaze over the people around him, particularly the other three geniuses of Qingyun, “We families must still help and watch over each other.”

Lu Chen deeply agreed.

Originally, they had regarded each other as formidable enemies, each guarding against and calculating against the other.

But now, with Chu Xisheng and Si Huangquan pressing down on them from above, they felt suffocated.

Before those two were dealt with, any acts of infighting would be foolish.

White Eyebrow Tiger Ying Haobai then turned back and looked at his young sorcerer, “You said that the Demon Character Path is the most dangerous one; what do you mean by that?”

The young sorcerer’s eyes showed an abnormal color as he looked forward, “Observing the four paths ahead, only the Demon Character Path is shrouded with dense blood light and thick demon energy.

It’s really quite understandable.

Among the four paths, ‘God’s Path’ should be related to the Divine Descent Technique, while ‘Demon Path’ is likely temporarily summoning the power of Evil Demons.

The powers within them were preset by the Divine Turtle Wanderer and will not change.

“The Ghost and Demon paths, however, are different.

The Divine Turtle Wanderer likely captured some demons and ghosts and kept them in the two paths.

The issue is that it has been thousands of years since the Divine Turtle Wanderer’s death; the strength of those demons and ghost spirits won’t remain constant.

And now, the Demon Character Path may have bred some extremely terrifying demons.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Haobai couldn’t help but exchange glances with the people around him.

In each other’s eyes, they found a tinge of joy.

If this was the case, Chu Xisheng entering the Demon Character Path was akin to walking into the jaws of death.

Even if he didn’t die, it was likely he would come out with a layer of skin peeled off.

“I see!” Ying Haobai narrowed his eyes and looked at the ‘God,’ ‘Demon,’ and ‘Ghost’ paths: “Then among these three paths, which would be more suitable for us?”

“Ghost!”

The young sorcerer answered resolutely, “In this Secret Realm, the Spiritual Power is much more abundant than in the outside world, which is suitable for the growth of demons.

However, it lacks human activity, and evil energy is sparse, which is not conducive to the nurturing of the strength in Yin Spirits.”

Ying Haobai’s eyebrows slightly lifted, and then he stepped into the Ghost Character Path without any hesitation.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also followed suit.

For hundreds of people to join forces to overcome a challenge seemed somewhat shameful.

But right now, they were in a time to band together for warmth.

Until Chu Xisheng and Si Huangquan were dealt with, saving every bit of manpower and strength was crucial.
