Chapter 265: 138 Evil Ghost Court, Black Flame Lion Heart

Is it that obvious?

The many hunters present couldn’t help but ask themselves.

At this moment, Bai Xiao, drenched in blood, looked even more like a Void Demon than an actual Void Demon. The murderous aura and momentum mixed on his body were oppressively clawing out like demons.

He didn’t look human at all.

In the blood pool from the Void Demon’s corpse, that young man looked utterly stunned.

The thunderous interrogation close at hand shook him until his head swam.

A wave of fear instantly enveloped him, making him feel as if he had suddenly fallen off a cliff. Panic grievously seized his trembling heart.

Because, in front of him,

a massive shadow of iron red had already enveloped him.

Huge hands like millstones, muscles knotted, veins popping.

They gently rested on the young man’s trembling, frail shoulders.

"Don’t be afraid, I know you must have been scared silly by that Void Demon just now, so you spoke nonsense, right? Don’t be nervous..."

"Relax."

"Come on, now say it again, can you tell that I am human?"

The rumbling reassuring voice came from above. Bai Xiao, despite trying his best to sound friendly, always seemed a bit like a tiger trying to act like a cat.

That innate brutality, like the calm magma before a volcanic eruption.

Slightly ignited, it would cause terrifying sounds.

The young man hung his head, not daring to look at Bai Xiao. The hair on his temples was soaked, and the fabric on his back seemed as if it had been soaked in water.

"I... I can tell!"

"That’s... right!"

"Just now I was scared by that Void Demon and spoke nonsense, I’m sorry!"

The young man gasped for breath, his fists clenched tight, alleviating his fear.

"Be more careful next time."

Bai Xiao’s massive hand heavily patted the young man’s shoulder.

Almost making him stagger and fall to the ground.

The young man forced himself to stand still on the spot, and only after hearing the footsteps fading away did he dare to raise his head, watching Bai Xiao walk toward the main force step by step.

He shuddered out from the blood puddle, moving slowly out.

"Who is that? Isn’t his aura and oppressive feeling too strong?"

Among the group, a disciple from a school asked.

"Have you heard the name Bai Xiao?"

A disciple who had seen Bai Xiao’s photo replied.

"Damn, is that the tough guy who defeated three core disciples of the Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall?"

"No wonder he’s so monstrous, playing around killing Void Demons!"

The initial voice carried an undeniable astonishment.

Next to the Void Demon’s corpse, teammates from the young man’s same force approached.

"Kang Bing, are you okay?"

"You were so cool just now, I definitely would have screamed..."

The teammate hurried over, complimenting him.

Kang Bing put one hand on his companion’s shoulder, his voice quivering a bit.

"Help me out; my legs are a bit weak."

...

In the middle of the field.

The third core members of the Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall and the Steel Bell Sect, Shen Zheng and Wang Ying both showed wary expressions as they watched Bai Xiao, who had reverted to normal, step by step toward them. The surging steam gradually faded, and his massive form slowly returned to normal.

But the revealed body was still like refined steel, with full and solid muscles, smooth lines slightly bulging, giving a strong, powerful impression.

There were shallow white marks on the skin surface.

It seemed these were from hunting Void Demons in the depths of the abandoned factory, attacked by a group. But, it appeared not a single attack managed to penetrate his defenses. This core disciple of the Fierce Bird Sect, well-practiced in Horizontal Training, was indeed formidable.

No wonder he was able to move in and out of a group of Void Demons, as if entering a realm of no one.

"Steel Bell Sect, Wang Ying."

After a moment’s contemplation, Wang Ying stepped forward and greeted him actively.

Shen Zheng hesitated for a while but also spoke.

"Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall, Shen Zheng."

"Hmm? Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall?"

Bai Xiao stopped in his tracks, his gaze shifting to Shen Zheng, sizing him up.

His gaze passed through Shen Zheng, looking behind him where three wary figures seemed to be hiding in the crowd, not wanting Bai Xiao to see them. They were indeed the Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall disciples who had been brutally beaten earlier at the southern gate.

Among them, the core disciple Hong Qing was in the worst state.

His entire arm had been treated, sprinkled with specialized medicated powder, and bandaged. It was unclear whether he was trying to grab some merit or, relying on Shen Zheng’s presence, was trying to find trouble with Bai Xiao. After getting injured, Hong Qing didn’t leave but followed them all the way.

Bai Xiao’s piercing gaze cut through the crowd, and his eyes met Hong Qing’s for a moment.

Perhaps, it was because Bai Xiao came bearing his reputation.

The terrifying burst just now was too frightening.

Hong Qing had to lower his head.

The next second, Shen Zheng moved a step to the left.

His figure blocked Bai Xiao from continuing to look past.

"Are you trying to stand up for him?"

Bai Xiao’s brow arched, watching Shen Zheng quietly.

As brothers of the same school, it wasn’t uncommon for older disciples to stand up for their junior who had been beaten. Therefore, seeing Shen Zheng block his view, the power within his body began to gather gradually.

If the other party made any sudden movements,

Bai Xiao was sure to explode his head the first chance he got!

"No, I am here to apologize."

Shen Zheng shook his head, his words somewhat surprising to Bai Xiao.

"Three of our Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall disciples uttered disrespectful words half an hour ago. They deserved the beating, and I have no objections to that. However, since they have already been punished, let us put it to rest here. How about we both step back...?" he said, looking up.

"Hmm..."

Bai Xiao chuckled softly, not answering, just slowly turning his head.

Shen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
