Chapter 647 - 19: Unleashing Carnage! The Infamous Ruthless Reputation
Who is this extraordinary person?
Among those present, many were monsters and fiends from Evil Valley, and all looked shocked. Even among them, the Cannibal Demon was considered a master; throughout the entire Jianghu, he ranked as a top-tier expert.
They claim that the tall woman and her group are remnants of a past dynasty, but what are they if not remnants of bygone chaos?
Evil Valley's origins are tied to Huang Chao, 'Sleeping amid a thousand swords and pikes, dining only on human liver,' which depicts the Huang Chao Rebellion. After Zhu Wen extinguished Tang, Huang Chao's subordinates were gathered under his wing; many monsters and fiends came under his command. Zhu Wen greatly favored his daughter-in-law later, choosing to establish an adopted son as crown prince instead of his biological son, becoming a source of chaos.
His ties with the Demon Cult were intricate. After the fall of Later Liang, many monsters and fiends drifted through the Jianghu, eventually forming the Evil Valley of today.
The Valley Master of Evil Valley is rumored to be named Zhu Jie, with incredible demon techniques.
As for the tall woman, their lineage originates from the military, challenging to trace. To discuss carefully, it also relates to the battle at Xiangji Temple, inheriting both Tang army and rebel traditions. In that battle, losers were deemed rebels.
Li Siye's blade technique, Li Cunxiao's Thirteen Grand Protectors Horizontal Training Skill, along with military martial arts traditions, were all acquired by them.
In the Jianghu, those skilled with the Mo Blade obviously survived the battle at Xiangji Temple; ordinary Jianghu sects would never wield such domineering weapons.
A lingering sunset broke through the clouds.
The silhouette of a youth stood proudly in the drizzling rain, as if bathed in a bloody glow. The previous eerie ghostly ambiance was shredded by him, under the bloody sunset, transforming the place into an Asura battlefield even the evil spirits dread.
"This is the true essence of martial arts!..."
The tall woman in dark attire was astonished, her eyes flashing with brilliance, murmuring, "Lifting mountains, covering the world with heroism... it is the path of a conqueror!..."
The crowd couldn't help but glance towards the charming Lady Jade Face by the side.
Though not as stunning as Yu Ji, she too was an unparalleled beauty.
Yet the bald monk besides her seemed out of place. He held the Flying Dragon Staff in one hand, very robust, a master of horizontal training, resembling a Dharma Protector Vajra of Buddhism.
"Who else?"
The youth flicked his long spear, causing blood and rainwater to ripple on the ground. His protective Gang Qi colliding with rainwater created an illusory mist.
This was the torrent of bloodline, the surge of true Qi, with human vitality pushed to the extreme, even raising body temperature gradually.
The sect elder from the Sect of Ecstasy involuntarily retreated half a step, shielding the Evil Valley crowd behind him.
This person was extremely cunning, transmitting secretly, "His strategic vulnerability is in the lower three routes!"
"Attack his weaknesses, can breach the Gang Qi."
Though the youth's cultivation timeline was relatively short, seemingly refining evil into Gang, he mainly cultivated the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, concentrating Gang Qi and evil refinement in the upper body. The lower three routes, however, are somewhat unprepared. If the vulnerabilities are targeted, his True Gang Protection will surely collapse.
Yet this person possessed astonishing explosive power. If struck by his innate Divine Power, no protective true Qi could withstand, leading either to instant death or serious injury.
Despite not mastering the Thirteen Grand Protectors Horizontal Training Skill, the opponent's extraordinary muscular strength could inflict harm. Among the Evil Valley crowd, a man dressed as a Jianghu Doctor whispered, "Break his Gang Qi, sever his tendons."
"Li Cunxiao also perished this way once."
Although the youth's horizontal training skill wasn't fully accomplished, killing him required ruthless tactics.
No one dared to step forward to challenge.
The Jianghu has its own rules; mostly it involves solo duels, Jianghu individuals favoring single combat. Winning enhances one's reputation. Without encountering a formidable opponent, they generally won't call for teamwork.
——Murderous Ghost, Bloody Nun, Corpse Monk (Extreme Evil) (Four-Star Silver Gray).
——Soul-Slayer Blade, Lady Bai Gu, Toxic Hand Ghost Doctor (Extreme Evil) (Five-Star Whiteboard).
——Sect Elder from Ecstasy Sect (Five-Star Silver Gray).
The Cannibal Demon, as a top-tier Jianghu expert, was directly eliminated in one move; others felt hard-pressed to gain the upper hand, unconsciously looking towards the Sect Elder from Ecstasy Sect.
This matter was instigated by your Sect of Ecstasy's call for revenge, don't let confronting fierce figures mean letting them take the lead.
Duncan's strength progressed rapidly.
After parting ways with Lu Shanjun, he slew a Tao, a Monk, and a Beggar—one in four-star Silver Gray, two in five-star Whiteboard, and a Sect of Ecstasy member who broke through to five-star Gold using Unimagined Demon Technique. In the Western world, this equates to slaying one High Tier, two ordinary Legendary, and one Elite Legendary practitioner.
These heads sufficiently boosted his true Qi significantly. In terms of wuxia novel descriptions, he possessed at least half a century's worth of power.
Though he couldn't plunder martial arts from killings, Basic Forms steadily improved, and Jianghu masters often comprehended a variety, those proficient in blade skills could always apply some sword techniques. Accumulating these kills transformed many Basic Forms to gold, in worlds with higher power limits, his enhancement speed accelerated.
Currently, Jianghu's martial arts scene still had many masters; by the Song Dynasty, it had diminished greatly, retaining Eight Heavenly Dragons' level. Beyond this point, Jianghu individuals' strength gradually waned significantly.
Following the world's evolution, achieving Innate True Qi beyond the Song Dynasty already counted as highly capable.
"Then let me come forward to test and learn!"
That Sect of Ecstasy elder gestured knowingly, the Poison Hand Ghost Doctor understood, braving himself to step forth. They didn't intend to engage together, yet observing the current momentum, if they did, those horizontally trained Great Han Dynasty warriors might lend a hand—they held mutual grudges.
