Chapter 656 - 270: Specious
The Masked Emperor instantly appeared beneath Li Xiu, and with a twist of the throttle, he accelerated madly, sprinting towards the city gate.
The tiny White Shell Turtle was already at Light Base level. Who knows the level of this house-sized giant turtle.
The Masked Emperor accelerated wildly, the Demonic Light surged onto the beach, blasting a giant crater into the sand, the torrential Demonic Light erupted from the hole, flooding towards the Masked Emperor like a deluge.
The Masked Emperor’s speed reached its peak, yet it was still not as fast as the flood-like Demonic Light. Fortunately, Li Xiu was not far from the city gate and was now visibly close to it.
The Demonic Light was about to touch the tail of the motorcycle when Li Xiu leapt off, simultaneously summoning back the Masked Emperor.
As he landed, Li Xiu reached out to grab the city gate, intending to close it to fend off the terrifying Demonic Light.
But his hand was pressed down by a small, white hand. He saw a little girl holding his hand, while the other hand gripped the wooden revolver. She aimed at the overwhelming Demonic Light and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A Light Bullet actually flew out from the wooden revolver’s barrel, the small pellet soared into the flood-like Demonic Light.
Li Xiu suddenly witnessed an incredible scene. After the pellet entered the Demonic Light, the flood-like Demonic Light began rotating with the Light, transforming into a whirlpool that reversed direction.
Bang!
The pellet struck the giant white turtle coming with the winds and waves, piercing a bloody hole through the turtle’s head.
Accompanied by the pellet, the Demonic Light swept up the body of the white turtle and the sea waves, throwing them into the sky.
Boom!
When the white turtle’s body and the overflowing seawater fell, it crashed onto the beach creating a large pit, while the seawater poured down like a torrential rain.
"Uncle, what’s the point of closing the door? This shabby city gate can’t withstand the attack of Demonic Light. Even if you hide behind it, you’ll still be killed." The little girl said, blinking her eyes.
"Is that so?" Li Xiu was somewhat depressed. He had always thought this place might have some connection to Black Death City, so he treated it as Black Death City.
If it were Black Death City, the city gate ought to be able to withstand the impact of Demonic Light. But hearing the little girl’s words, he realized he had made a mistake.
This isn’t Black Death City; you can’t equate the things here with Black Death City.
The little girl walked up to the giant white turtle’s body, jumped inside the shell, and picked up a Demon Core and a Gemstone from the decomposed corpse.
"Is that a Super Spirit Gemstone?" Li Xiu saw the luminous lines forming patterns inside the white gemstone in the little girl’s hand, faintly resembling constellations, the patterns look like a turtle.
Li Xiu counted, there are twelve Light Veins on it, this thing is a Twelve Vein Light Base Spirit.
"This isn’t any Super Spirit Gemstone, it’s a Light Base Gemstone." The little girl corrected, "Uncle, you can’t even handle a Light Base Spirit; you better not wander around recklessly."
After the little girl collected the Demon Core and Light Base Gemstone, she was dragging the giant turtle shell towards the city.
"Let me help you." Li Xiu was helping the little girl push the turtle shell into the city from behind.
This little girl could unexpectedly kill a Twelve Vein Light Base Spirit with a single shot; her power was somewhat terrifying.
Judging by her age, she was probably around six or seven or eight years old, yet she already possessed such strength. Indeed, people from the Demon Kingdom were far stronger than humans on Earth.
"Wait a minute, could it be that the Demon Kingdom people inside this city all have terrifying power like this little girl?" Li Xiu looked at the diverse residents of the Demon Kingdom within the city, conceiving such a frightening thought.
Maybe those elderly sweeping the streets, blacksmiths forging iron, and sisters selling vegetables could possibly be even stronger than the little girl.
Watching the bustling city streets, Li Xiu’s mind felt extremely odd; everyone seemed like a hidden Sweeping Monk.
"It shouldn’t be possible... Are Demon Kingdom people really that strong? I remember the Demon Country Celestial Emperor only raised up the Demon Kingdom after creating the ’Jade Emperor Scripture,’ indicating that people from the Demon Kingdom weren’t naturally so strong; at least they couldn’t be born at Light Base level... So what’s with this little girl... At her age... killing a Twelve Vein Light Base Spirit with a single shot... If not born at Light Base level... it doesn’t make any sense..." Li Xiu’s mind was full of doubt.
"Little Bu’Er, did you kill another giant turtle today?"
"With such a big turtle shell, you can exchange it for Gemstone Coins at Uncle Wu’s place..."
"Little Bu’Er, you’re pretty lucky, scoring such a big deal! You’ll have to treat us to drinks tonight!"
Only then did Li Xiu learn the little girl’s name was Bu’Er. The name was a bit strange, yet she seemed well-liked, walking through the streets, neighbors from both sides greeted her as she dragged the big turtle shell.
"So noisy, I know! I’ll treat you to drinks tonight, you bunch of drunkards!" Bu’Er shouted loudly.
With that declaration, the city’s other neighbors let her be.
Li Xiu was pushing the turtle shell from behind, surveying those smiling neighbors, feeling somewhat nostalgic like he did back in the orphanage.
In the old city’s orphanage, most residents were orphans whose parents were killed by magical beings. Li Xiu was among the younger ones, and many staff members in the orphanage cared for him.
