Chapter 654 - 269 Colorful City_2
"Thank you, little girl." Li Xiu got up and walked away, intending to take a stroll outside the city to see what this City of Love really was like.
The fact that there were so many people from the Demon Kingdom here suggested that the place hadn’t been conquered by the Demonic Light yet. Perhaps he could learn something about the Demon Kingdom from here.
But since he didn’t know anyone, he couldn’t just go looking for information recklessly, so he decided to go outside the city and take a look around first.
"Uncle, where are you going?" The little girl followed beside him, kindly reminding him, "It’s very dangerous out there; there are a lot of Demonic Lights."
"Where are the Demonic Lights? Take me to see them." Upon hearing about the Demonic Lights, Li Xiu was overjoyed. Since he was already here, it wouldn’t be bad to kill some Demonic Lights for resources.
Even getting a Demon Spirit Ring, some Skill Rings, or Talent Gemstones would be good.
"Are you going to hunt Demonic Lights?" The girl sized up Li Xiu and asked.
"Yes," Li Xiu nodded slightly.
"Then you should be careful, those Demonic Lights are very fierce," the little girl said.
"Where are the Demonic Lights?" Li Xiu didn’t take it seriously. After all, how fierce could they be according to a little girl?
"Uncle, I’ll take you there." With that, the little girl started walking toward a city gate in one direction.
Li Xiu followed the little girl toward the city gate in that direction. The residents here seemed quite simple and honest. They all smiled at Li Xiu when they encountered him, and nobody showed any malice.
"It’s a pity that the Demon Kingdom has long been divided. If it hadn’t fallen, maybe Earthly humans could have easily integrated into it, and this place might have become a second home for Earthly humans." While Li Xiu pondered this, the little girl had already led him out of the city gate.
Li Xiu instinctively compared this place to Black Death City. The city gate the little girl took him out of should be the one leading to the Dead Sea.
Coincidentally, upon exiting the city gate, Li Xiu discovered that there was indeed a vast sea before him.
This sea was normal, with blue waters, a blue sky, and sea birds flying in the distance above the surface. A gentle breeze swept the sea, creating ripples that formed waves caressing the beach.
On the white sandy beach, some newly hatched white sea turtles were emerging from beneath the sand, wriggling their tiny bodies to crawl toward the sea.
"Are the fierce Demonic Lights you mentioned these newborn sea turtles?" Li Xiu hadn’t noticed any other Demonic Lights and, suspecting that the girl was referring to these sea turtles, asked with a chuckle.
"Yes, these White Shell Turtles are very fierce and bad," the little girl said seriously.
"Let me help you deal with them." Li Xiu wasn’t particularly interested in killing these little things, but since the little girl had asked, he felt obliged to do something.
Summoning the Fire Lotus Sword, Li Xiu gripped the sword handle and walked a few steps forward until he reached a newly hatched White Shell Turtle.
Despite just hatching, the White Shell Turtle was already the size of a palm, with a shell that was entirely jade white, along with its claws and head, making it look as if it were carved from white jade.
As the White Shell Turtle clawed its way out of the sand, preparing to crawl toward the sea, Li Xiu slashed his sword at the turtle’s neck.
Unexpectedly, although the White Shell Turtle had just been born, it was very alert. Sensing something amiss, it retracted its limbs and head into its shell.
Li Xiu had to slightly alter the trajectory of his Fire Lotus Sword, striking the shell of the White Shell Turtle directly.
With the sharpness of the Fire Lotus Sword, these newborn White Shell Turtles, even with their shells for protection, were bound to be cut through with a single slash.
To his surprise, when the Fire Lotus Sword struck the turtle shell, it made a loud clanging sound, failing to cut through, and the sword was bounced back instead.
"Wow, this White Shell Turtle’s shell is so hard?" Li Xiu was quite surprised. Meanwhile, the White Shell Turtle extended its head, turned to stare at him, and its shell began to shine with a constellation-like pattern.
Glowing dots and lines connected together, resembling a star map drawn by hand.
Bang!
As Li Xiu was examining the light pattern on the White Shell Turtle’s back, beams of Demonic Light suddenly shot out from its small eyes. Though the turtle was tiny and its eyes no bigger than beans, the demonic light erupted like a volcanic blast, the massive light beam shooting toward Li Xiu with astonishing speed, too fast for him to dodge.
Startled, Li Xiu gripped the Fire Lotus Sword, instantly activating its Super Spirit State, and slashed the Demon Light Slash with a swing, unleashing a fiery lotus-like sword light.
The sword light collided with the demonic light, and the Fire Lotus Sword’s light was shattered. Li Xiu felt a tremendous force strike him, sending both him and his sword flying backward like a cannonball, slamming into the city wall and creating a concave dent.
"Light Base Demonic Light!" Li Xiu spat out a mouthful of blood, utterly shocked.
He never expected a newborn White Shell Turtle to actually be a Light Base Demonic Light.
Fortunately, he had advanced to S-level and had the power of the Light Seed protecting him, while the Fire Lotus Sword’s light had weakened the demonic light significantly. If it were before, this single attack would’ve undoubtedly blown his body to pieces.
Seeing Li Xiu still alive, the White Shell Turtle charged towards him again, brandishing its claws, and its eyes once more began to glow with Demonic Light.
