Chapter 520: 261 Seven Stars Killer_2

Gui Luotian’s face was pale, his breaths rapid and his chest heaving violently.

At this moment, his entire body was drenched in sweat, and beads of it fell like rain. His arms were numb and ached, and his palms were covered with coagulated, crimson blood from the shock of his exerted force, gruesomely filling the gaps between his fingers.

"Did I succeed?"

Due to having used his peak technique, Gui Luotian’s breath weakened rapidly, and his perceptive abilities declined. He gazed vacantly at the translucent mist before him.

With a slight effort in his palm, he attempted to withdraw the Rashamon Blade.

But with a series of clicking sounds, the blade trembled, yet it remained immovable.

"Huh?"

Gui Luotian’s gaze was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"Whoosh!"

A huge breathing sound resounded, and a warm breath instantly dispersed the white mist in the area, revealing a massive figure standing tall like a hefty mountain.

And there, the Rashamon Blade had struck upon this very mountain!

Gui Luotian’s pupils dilated suddenly, and his heart seemed to plummet from the edge of a cliff, gripped by panic and palpitations in an instant.

He gasped, his voice quivering.

"It... It didn’t cut through!?"

Indeed, the Rashamon Blade, enhanced by the diminishing power of the Sword Demon’s legacy, had managed to pierce through Bai Xiao’s thick skin membrane, and with extreme difficulty, it severed some of the muscle and tendons, as tough as steel cords. But then it struck the lethally golden bones and could advance no further as all its force was dissipated.

At this moment, the Rashamon Blade struggled amidst the pressing muscles.

Clanging loudly, it trembled incessantly.

"Is this the Sword Demon’s true legacy?"

A thunderous voice boomed, like an exploding thunderclap, causing Gui Luotian’s entire skeleton to vibrate in unison. The towering figure before him slowly lowered its head, an enormous and heavy shadow looming oppressively overhead.

"Your blade, had it been used against Hao Lie or Mountain King Chen Xiu, might indeed have decided the victor in one strike. Such power, in that instant, reached the absolute limit below that of a sect leader; even someone at the Extreme Realm would find it difficult to withstand..."

"But for me, it can only inflict some superficial wounds!"

Bai Xiao’s terrifying aura surged as his right hand, like an iron claw, blasted the air, pressing against Gui Luotian’s chest and violently knocking him away.

Then, with a broad palm, he reached towards the wound and grasped the Rashamon Blade.

With a splurt, the blade was removed, and a few strands of pale golden blood fell.

The powerful muscles in his left arm worked, slightly writhing, and instantly compressed the injury site together, closing the wound. The Blood Pill in his abdomen circulated, spinning swiftly, as streams of Qi-Blood containing astonishing strength flooded to the site.

The area that had been injured was healing rapidly.

"To have injured me, you should be proud enough!"

Bai Xiao held the Rashamon Blade and casually tossed it, sending a silver flash piercing through the air with incredible speed, like a straight beam of light, flying out dozens of meters.

"Clang!"

The blade’s edge struck the ground, quivering at an angle.

Ten centimeters away, a figure crashing down from the sky landed just as well.

Gui Luotian, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and a deep cyan-red handprint on his chest, supported himself with his arms in an effort to rise, but his trembling wrists lacked the strength and he collapsed. From that fall, he couldn’t get up again.

He had lost, and the defeat was brutal!

With every technique exhausted and all his strength spent, he still could not overcome that monster!

In an instant, the whole Martial Arts Arena fell silent, as if everyone had stopped breathing. A second later, the world erupted, and various excited and shouting voices merged together, like boiling water.

"The eight finalists of the Eastern Dark World combat tournament encounter the strongest dark horse..."

"The Peak Horizontal Training is monster-like in strength, all out effort, yet unable to overcome!"

Somebody sighed inexplicably.

"Long Gu Haoli, Mountain King Chen Xiu, Hell Ghost Slayer Luo Tian, from the third round of the Eastern Dark World combat tournament, Fierce Fist Bai Xiao began his god-slaying journey! The illustrious Eastern Seven Stars... already three have fallen to him!"

"The Seven Stars Killer, truly lives up to the name!"

Someone exclaimed in shock.

"The miracle continues, kill, kill, kill! There’s still Breeze of Breath Liu Xinzong from He Xian Martial Arts Hall, there’s Evil Ghost Face! Win all the way to the championship!"

Someone shouted with an upraised arm.

On the platform, only the figure of Bai Xiao stood alone, quietly towering.

His icy gaze swept across the crowd, as if he wielded domineering influence.

At this moment, the black referee beside the stage loudly announced.

"Round five, the first match!"

"Bai Xiao, wins!"

Instantly, the staff from Po Suo’s Hidden Blade Pavilion rushed over, hurriedly carrying Gui Luotian on a stretcher to administer treatment. The Rashamon Blade was also stripped off and taken away.

While Bai Xiao slowly turned around, amidst the cheering of the attentive crowd, he walked towards the Fierce Bird Sect’s location. The burning gazes directed at him were ignored.

In the spectators’ seats, the remaining members of the Eastern Seven Stars had their gazes fixed on the robust figure with his back to them, watching intently with extreme apprehension.

"I might not be able to withstand that last strike from Gui Luotian!"

Xia Houping, sitting next to Mountain King Chen Xiu with arms crossed over his chest, took a slightly heavy breath. He muttered to himself, coming to such a conclusion.

"Interesting!"

"Is that the true legacy of the Sword Demon that Gui Luotian mastered? The dangerous feeling just now does seem like it could have posed a threat to me. But, even with such an extreme powerful technique... was it still unable to force Bai Xiao into a desperate situation?"

At the He Xian Martial Arts Hall’s base, a young man in white robes murmured to himself.

"This is strange..."

"Despite mastering decent Fear Secret Technique, he even possesses peak-level Hard Skill stronger than Mountain King Chen Xiu. How did he manage that?"

The Ghost Mask’s aura was mysterious, and its pitch-black pupils flickered with doubt.

Meanwhile, in the rest area at the Fierce Bird Sect’s base.

Bai Xiao returned triumphantly, and everyone welcomed him. The sect’s staff gathered around immediately, helping him bandage his wounds, applying the top-grade golden sore medicine to speed up the healing process. Five minutes later, Bai Xiao changed into a platinum-colored coat, covering his robust, masculine body.

On closer count, the number of fight suits he had destroyed was probably in the double digits.

Sitting in his seat, Bai Xiao relaxed slightly, his thoughts calming down.

He began to recall the enlightenment he had gained on the stage.

Extreme Realm embryo, Glazed Dragon Elephant!

It was truly the first time Bai Xiao felt the physique Extreme Realm belonging to himself. Perhaps it was because the Void Energy was already in place, coupled with the Four-dimensional Attributes being too powerful and overwhelming, reaching a bursting point.

In any case, he had achieved the physique Extreme Realm on his own!

It was just still in its embryonic form and had not been fully displayed.

Bai Xiao’s mind shifted, pressing down his thoughts for now.

He diverted his gaze, staring intently at the air ahead.

Sure enough, in the professional panel, the information notification had already been settled.

[Your mission ’reward’, Experience +901!]

Bai Xiao’s eyes immediately shone, his spirit uplifted. It looked like Hell Ghost Slayer Luo Tian was indeed a notch stronger than Hao Lie and Chen Xiu. This could be seen from the experience points.

A full nine hundred points!
