The giant elephant finally stopped screeching, because it was free in the end. As the energy s.h.i.+eld disappeared, the elephant was dropped off in the air and made a huge pit cras.h.i.+ng on the ground. Unexpectedly, the giant elephant neatly turned over on the ground and hastily ran away with the tail clenched between the hind legs.

Those who were relatively knowledgeable, all praised when they saw that the giant elephant still had the power to run away. The giant elephant had been squeezed really hard, which meant it was badly damaged. Ye Xiao’s sword strike definitely destroyed the energy s.h.i.+eld and freed the giant elephant, but the power of the sword strike must have affected the giant elephant, giving it a second damage. However, the giant beast could still neatly run away. How good its defense power was!

No matter how these human beings praised it, the surviving giant elephant only had one thought in its head.

[Holy sh*t! That scared me to death! Horrible! Horrible!]

[Look at those human beings, wearing all black from head to toe! They are horrible… When they looked at me, I could see in their eyes that they wanted to chop me into pieces for real. Yes, I can see that! Who said I can’t? That was brutal… Thanks to the generous, handsome big brother in white clothes, I am saved. He wielded his sword to protect me… What a nice man. I hope he can kill all those bad guys…]

[I hope that those horrible people all get killed by him…]

[Good man must live forever, and the terrible ones die today!]

Ye Xiao was staying in the air, looking calm and indifferent. The crazy murderous intent was acc.u.mulating.

Down on the ground, a dying screech could be heard everywhere.

The nine superior cultivators of the Demon Soul Dao all looked crazily vicious. Suddenly, with a shout, the nine of them erupted with some extremely dense dark qi at the same time.

The smell of evil spread out.

Demonic qi!

When the demonic qi appeared and spread out, the nine men’s energy flow was rising fast. It actually felt like their power could keep rising forever.

Facing the powerful opponent Ye Xiao, these men knew that they wouldn’t stand a chance in this battle. Even if the nine of them attacked together, they wouldn’t win. However, if they burst out the extreme power of their secret demonic martial art, they might get a different result.

The nine of them together set up a demonic energy array formation, which was more murderous than the Red in the Sky or even Wu Fa!

Ye Xiao had defeated Wu Fa and the Red in the Sky before, but he might not be able to defend himself against the joint attacks of the nine demonic creatures!

Perhaps, victory or failure would be decided in one strike!

Ye Xiao coldly stared at the nine men who were still boosting their energy level. His Stars Sword was glittering, but he didn’t take a move. Apparently, he was waiting for an opportunity.

He wanted to know how powerful the nine men’s joint attack could be. He wanted to know at what energy level did it blast off the demonic joint attack and it could be utmost!

The two of the nine people who were standing in front of the others were at the peak of the Dao Origin Stage. The rest of them were only average level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators. Nine cultivators like these couldn’t threaten Ye Xiao even though they fought together. However, these nine men were bursting out their hidden demonic energy to enhance themselves greatly. In fact, even though Ye Xiao was so powerful, he still felt the pressure. Gradually, he realized that the pressure was big enough to surprise himself.

However, he still decided to see how big a difference could it make to burst out their strongest demonic power, to compare with their normal energy level!

If he got to know it, it would help him greatly in the future battles to come against the other enemies from the Demon Soul Dao!

After a while, the nine men had stopped raising up their energy flow. These guys had boosted their energy up to an incredible level, and even their weapons had turned all dark with continuous rolling of dark fog rising around.

At the same time, a feeling which was shockingly evil was shaking everybody up.

Ye Xiao looked at these nine men and couldn’t help making a sigh and shaking his head.

The nine cultivators did get themselves boosted in cultivation after activating the hidden demonic energy inside them. However, they also got themselves completely turn into demons. Even their teeth were sticking out of their lips. Were they possibly still a human being?

The nine of them had reached the limitation of themselves. With the savage shouts, they started to move, aiming at Ye Xiao.

The nine men were making an attack together. Ye Xiao was confident that he could handle it, but he still stayed cautious and careful. With a long shout, he jumped up in the sky and rushed ahead to face the nine demonic men directly! No dodging! No escaping!

Since he needed to know everything about the power of the demonic energy, what could be a better way to face the attack directly?

Ye Xiao activated his utmost power level as well, casually wielded the Stars Sword and created a splendid light cloud around him.

“Kill!” Ye Xiao shouted loudly.

Everybody was watching this great fight clearly.

When the sword light of Xiao Monarch’s Stars Sword crashed the nine men’s joint energy flow, the cloudy and hazy dark night suddenly became bright under the glaring scorching sun!

The joint energy flow with the purely dark qi of the nine men’s joint attack actually got vanished instantly. Nothing left of the dark material anymore.

Everybody thought that this would be an epic fight that lasted for a long time. However, it seemed to have only just a beginning, no further development, no highlights, no climax, no limitation breaking, only one second of a wonderful strike. That was it!

With one sword strike in the glaring light, Ye Xiao instantly defeated nine enemies. He didn’t even look back, he just landed on the floor. With a shout, he said, “Now it is on. Let’s start the explosion here. Kill every member of the Demon Soul Dao here! No mercy!”

As he gave the order, the Demon Soul Dao’s side started to fall apart. With those men in the hidden valley, the Demon Soul Dao never stood a chance. They didn’t even have the chance to even try to protect themselves. It was a ma.s.sacre!

While the continual screech was resounding in the battle, the nine men who had reached their limitation in cultivation and finished fighting against Ye Xiao froze in the sky like some mud sculptures. All of a sudden, they started to break apart, turning into pieces of blood and flesh falling to the floor.

Even though Xuan Bing and Jun Yinglian had been watching Ye Xiao’s fight because of concern, they didn’t see how Ye Xiao did it. They wonder how he could do it so overwhelmingly and powerfully! It was so unbelievable that the fight could end so fast!

Ye Xiao stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at the clear sky. Suddenly he was emotional.

[I still remember those days when I was capable of fighting against one top-level Dao Origin Stage cultivator like these people. Those fights were so hard. I always nearly got myself killed in order to win. Sometimes it just ended with both sides damaged. Now, I, alone, just faced the nine of them, who had been greatly enhanced by their demonic energy, and I killed them in one move!]

[They weren’t weak. I am just too strong!]

At this moment, he finally had a correct and clear recognition of his power.

Xuan Bing walked over, staring at him in shock. She said, “How did you do that? That was such a dreamlike slaughter!”

Ye Xiao looked at the dead bodies on the ground. In a low voice and said, “The martial art I mainly cultivate is a bane to the demonic energy. Besides, these nine cultivators were all way below me in cultivation. Even though they had greatly enhanced themselves by bursting their demonic energy to the utmost limitation, it wouldn’t help them as much as they expected. My martial art just became more antagonistic to their energy. The natural rule did this. I was surely winning the fight, but I wouldn’t be able to finish them as quickly as what I did if I only had the martial art to surpa.s.s them. After all, the nine of them joining together could be a lot more powerful than the Red in the Sky and Wu Fa. However, they were all way weaker than me. My t.i.ttle Phase and Cage Phase technique completely wrecked them. First, I used my t.i.ttle Phase technique to lock on them, and then my Cage Phase technique to control them. In the end, I made the final attack. As the light flowed over, their demonic power was broken, so did their bodies. One sword strike, I killed their souls. That was the end of the fight!”

Xuan Bing nodded, and said, “They were too weak to resist your t.i.ttle Phase and Cage Phase technique. I can understand that. However, did you just say that you use the t.i.ttle Phase technique and the Cage Phase technique at the same time?”

“Yes, I did.”

Ye Xiao answered, and said, “I feel that it is not that difficult to use both the t.i.ttle Phase and Cage Phase techniques at the same time. In fact, it was rather easy to use them on the opponents who are weaker than me. Perhaps, when I am in a fight against somebody stronger, I may need more practice to seize the perfect timing and the perfect spot. I can do it as I wish if I practice more. All in all, there is still room for improvement.”

Xuan Bing nodded. In her eyes, there was joy and happiness.

Ye Xiao’s improvement had raised him up beyond Xuan Bing, but she just felt happy about it.

“Master, you are the best!”

The praise was full of joy. Her voice was soft and sound. Ye Xiao laughed and touched her pretty face. In a naughty voice, he said, “Of course, I am the best. But there are many moves you haven’t tried yet. You will know tonight!”

As he finished the talking, he was stunned.

[Wait! Bing’er didn’t say anything… Master, you are the best… It didn’t really sound like her, did it?]

Then he turned around and saw Jun Yinglian’s speechless face.

When the lady’s voice sounded, even Xuan Bing thought herself said it. Well, now as she looked at Jun Yinglian’s sneering eyes, her face turned red, and she gave Ye Xiao a glance with grudge.

“Ahem… Cough, cough…” Ye Xiao pretended to cough. Suddenly, he started to talk solemnly and said, “We must work harder. Destroy this place thoroughly before we all get away. When we get out, I will break this mountain and bury it into the ocean!”

After that, he turned around and gently asked Jun Yinglian and said, “Lian Lian, how do you feel? Are you tired?”

Jun Yinglian rolled her eyes up, and said, “What? What if I am tired? n.o.body cares about me. I don’t know how to flirt like those women. I have to endure what I get. The heavens must pity me…”

Ye Xiao coughed and said, “No, you don’t need the heavens to pity you… You have me… What do you say that I give you the console you deserve tonight?”

“Get away! Give your console to your beloved concubine!” Jun Yinglian blushed and ran away.

…

After one day, they were all leaving the Big Dream Mountain, and Ye Xiao was the last to evacuate.

This time, they sailed on the sea by a s.h.i.+p.

When the s.h.i.+p was getting far away from the sh.o.r.e, everybody saw the stunning scenery of the Big Dream Mountain. The Big Dream Mountain, in the clouds and mist, slowly sank to the ocean after shaking for a while… Bit by bit, it was collapsing…

The water had gotten the waist of the mountain, and the mountain kept going down and down…

When the entire Big Dream Mountain had fallen into the water, a huge wave spread away in the sea. It was powerful enough to overturn the giant s.h.i.+p that was tens of miles away.

“There is no more Big Dream Mountain in the world from now on.”

Ye Xiao stood at the fore of the s.h.i.+p, pouring his enormous spiritual energy into the s.h.i.+p to control it. The s.h.i.+p was sailing fast.

He stared at the huge whirlpool in the middle of the sea and blandly said, “No matter how wonderful the dream is, it is the dream of G.o.ds, not ours.”

It seemed there was a lot of information behind what he just said.

People who heard what he said all lost in thoughts.

In Ye Xiao’s hand, there was something special. He was grabbing a piece of animal skin.

On the skin from some beast, it recorded the location of another base of the Demon Soul Dao.

That was the best reward for destroying the base in the Big Dream Mountain.

“We are heading to the south. The next stop will be another base of the organization! The less of their bases there are, the better the world will be. We must destroy them all as soon as we can before they stain our world!”

Ye Xiao smiled and then got back into the cabin.

A big smile was on his face. His eyes lit up. While he was waking, he was murmuring, in a voice that was so low that n.o.body could clearly hear what he said.

“That’s right. The dream of the G.o.ds is not my dream.”

“I will never be lost in a dream for a thousand years.”

“This is not supposed to be a dream of a G.o.d!”

“My dream is much bigger!

“Much better.”

Almost within one night, the war against the demonic forces in the Qing-Yun Realm began everywhere in the world.

After Ye Xiao and his people destroyed one of the important bases of the Demon Soul Dao in Big Dream Mountain, they destroyed another base after three days.

It was not all. For the Demon Soul Dao, bad news wasn’t stopped from arriving yet…

In the West Hall.

On the top of a big mountain somewhere behind the West Hall.

A man in black clothes seemed to have stood there for a thousand, even ten thousand years without moving.

“Master, four of the nine lamps that represent the nine bases are off.” A short and overweight guy ran up to the hill and reported the news.

“Hmm. Well, four. Four of the nine are off…” The man in black clothes seemed to be quite calm.

“Yes, that’s correct. They must have obtained some information about us. Otherwise, they would never be able to destroy four of our bases in such a short time… Everywhere they went, they found our bases…” The short guy in black clothes was looking at the other man in black clothes in concern.

The other man in black clothes, who seemed to be the master seemed to have some ghost fire flaming inside the eyes. He didn’t say anything immediately.

“Master, maybe we should do something about it now.” The short fatty looked angry, and said, “If we let them beating us like this any longer, I am afraid they are going to destroy all our training bases, where we raised and train our people.”

The master in black clothes glanced at him, but still didn’t say a word. He turned over and looked at the clouds far away in the sky.

“My wise master!” The short fatty spoke loudly, almost shed tears. He said, “We have spent tens of thousands of years to build those bases out there…”

The ghost fire in the master’s eyes seemed to pop out his eye frames. His eyes looked like burning. He blandly said, “How long do we need to complete our second altar?”

The short fatty took a deep breath. He seemed frightened, and said, “It is almost done.”

“As I remember, not long ago, you told me that we still need some days to complete the second altar. Why were we suddenly so fast recently?” The master in black clothes asked in a scary voice.

“Because…” The short fatty suddenly didn’t know how to answer.

“It is obvious, isn’t it? When our men in the bases died, their souls were drawn to the altar. Their souls accelerated the process.” The master in black clothes blandly said, “If the nine bases are all destroyed… The second altar should be completed, and we can even push the third altar to the middle, even the last stage. Is that correct?”

The short fatty seemed to be more terrified. His eyes were full of fear, and his body was shaking.

“Since our enemy’s ma.s.sacre is helping us on completing our great altars, why don’t we expose the exact locations of the other bases to them? I guess we should think about how to do it.” The master in black clothes waved his sleeves, made a long sigh to the sky, and said, “This world, the Qing-Yun Realm, is too small after all! There are not enough people! There are not enough powerful cultivators! We have acc.u.mulated it for tens of thousands of years, yet this is the best we can get… My heart is full of grudge and hatred. This world is boring!”

The short fatty lowered his head and didn’t dare to say a word.

“Since we have decided to use our enemy’s hand to accelerate our construction process, we should just put all into it. Before the other bases are destroyed, send those who are out there on tasks, out to the enemies.”

The master in black clothes talked in a deep and dim voice, which sounded like the bell of death. In just a few words, he decided the death of over a hundred thousand of his own people!

“Once the altar construction is started, we can’t stop. If we stop it, those we have put into it will be gone too. I wouldn’t want to do this if I don’t have to…” The master in black clothes sighed with grief and sorrow. He said, “After all, they are my brothers, who have been following me for all these years…

“Watching my brothers die, both of their bodies and souls vanished, I can’t endure the pain. I can’t kill them. Who knows how painful it is to me? When there are two things which are both painful to give up, I have to choose the more important one. Everybody knows what to do when there is a tough decision to make, but would the pain be eased just when knowing what is the right thing to do?”

The master in black clothes made a long sigh, which sounded pretty miserable as if his heart was broken.

The short fatty was shaken up.

At this moment, he felt like his teeth were crunching.

[Everybody knows what to do when there is a tough decision to make, but would the pain be eased when just knowing what is the right thing to do? That is so well said!]

[No matter how good your speaking is, none of your words can help our people!]

[You know those are your brothers! You know they have followed you with loyalty for all these years! You know everything, yet you will still push them to death.]

[You will sit here with your cold heart and watch them die with indifference. The best you can do is to sigh and say how painful you are!]

[Painful your f*cking a.s.s!]

[F*ck you! F*ck your entire family!]

[I will tell your family about what tough decision one should shamefully make!]

[I feel sorry, painful, and guilty for your family!]

The short fatty wanted to say all these words, but he didn’t have the courage to say even one word out.

He didn’t dare.

He truly didn’t dare!

The strong fear was rising inside his heart. It felt strange to him this time…

[What if our men outside are all dead and the altar is still not completed? Am I going to be one of the next group of people who are going to be abandoned?]

[Is this man still the master I have been loyal to? Why do I have this feeling? Why do I feel that this man is no longer a human being, but just a demon? He is a completely demonic creature!]

The short fatty didn’t know when the master in black clothes turned around and stared at him with the cold eyes. The man was staring right at the eyes of the fatty.

The master’s eyes were like two bottomless hollows, which were deep enough to bury anybody inside.

“You are scared, aren’t you?” The master in black clothes asked.”

“Yes, I am.” The short fatty trembled, and then knelt down. With his head low, he said, “I am scared. I am frightened. I am naturally awed by you, my master.”

“That’s right. Awe.” The master in black clothes blandly repeated the word and said, “Awe. That’s right.”

Then he raised up his head, looked into the far distance, and blandly said, “Go now. Do the job that I need you to do. Do it well.”
