Capítulo 32: Chapter 32: Fei Hou’s Martial Spirit
There were ten or more disciples of the Purple Robed Sword Sect pursuing the pair; seeing that they had stopped running, the disciples scattered out and surrounded the four people at the bonfire.
"Senior Brother Cheng, what shall we do?" A Purple Robed Sword Sect disciple asked a middle-aged man that has distinct sword scar on his left face.
The scar-faced middle-aged man looked at each person that were surrounded and stopped when he got to Fei Hou. His brows creased into a frown when he realized that he couldn't determine Fei Hou's strength.
"Senior, we are disciples of the Purple Robed Sword Sect, we hope that Senior will stay out of this matter." After a brief pause Zhang Hua added, "As long as you do not interfere, we will allow you to leave safely."
After all, they were within the borders of the Luo Tong Kingdom and not in the Yunhai Kingdom; Zhang Hua would prefer to avoid trouble if he could.
Fei Hou didn't respond, instead, he looked at Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiao long's expression remained blasé as he looked at the Zhang Hua. "Are you saying that if we interfere, then we wouldn't be able to leave safely?" Although the other side seemed polite, Huang Xiaolong however, detected the implied threat in their words.
As a person born in the Luo Tong Kingdom, seeing disciples of his kingdom's premier academy being hunted, it was only natural that he would be slightly partial to help Cosmic Star Academy's disciples.
Just like in his previous life on Earth, if people from his country were bullied, he would be biased in his support of his fellow countrymen.
On hearing Huang Xiao long's response, Zhang Hua's expression sank.
"Kid, what did you just say!" shouted one of the disciples seeing a fledgling dared to speak in such manner to Senior Brother Cheng, and just as he was about to scold more, suddenly, a shadow flashed and the disciple screamed clutching his face: "My face! My face!"
There were two lines of blood running down on both sides of his face.
It was the Violet Spirit Devourer Monkey who attacked him, and after attacking he settled back on Huang Xiaolong's shoulder, and then bared his teeth at the disciple.
"Animal, you are courting death!" Anger welled in that Purple Robed Sword Sect disciple, and he imbued battle qi into the long sword he was holding and attacked slashing directly at the little violet monkey.
When the other disciples saw that one of their own was hurt, they couldn't resist, and they attacked together.
Bright rays of sword light surrounded Huang Xiaolong.
Zhang Hua wanted to stop them, but it was too late, and he watched the rays of sword light hurtled at Huang Xiaolong. Suddenly the rays of sword light vanished and the four disciples who attacked were flying, spitting out blood in midair.
When they hit the ground, their bodies jerked twice and became still; they were all dead!
Fei Hou looked coldly at the four bodies before he turned towards Huang Xiaolong and asked respectfully, "Young Master, are you alright?"
Huang Xiaolong shook his head as he said, "I'm fine." The truth was, even if Fei Hou did nothing, the four Purple Robed Sword Sect disciples couldn't have hurt him, he could tell that all four of them were only Fifth Orders warrior.
Zhang Hua and the other disciples of the Purple Cloth Sword Sect disciple were shocked as they looked at the four lifeless bodies lying on the ground. Anger caught up, and a cold light flickered in his eyes as he turned around to look at Fei Hou, "You dare kill disciples of the Purple Robed Sword Sect?"
Fei Hou just stared at Zhang Hua with an even colder expression and said, "Those who dare to cause harm to the Young Master, will die!"
This was one Asura Gate's rules; if anyone dared to harm the Sovereign, all Asura's Gate disciples must kill the person with their utmost effort!
Anger raged in Zhang Hua's heart, and his expression became ice-cold: "Good!" Then he waved his hand signaling to the disciples and said, "We are leaving!"
Then he turned to leave. The disciples were all stunned.
"Leave? Who allowed you to go?" At this moment, spoke Huang Xiaolong with an edge in his voice.
Huang Xiaolong saw the hate and animosity in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he knew that if the middle-aged man were allowed to leave, in the future he would definitely return for revenge. And Huang Clan Manor wasn't that far away from their current location, if the scar-face middle-aged man discovered his identity, then Huang Clan Manor might be in danger of annihilation. So, Huang Xiaolong decided not let these Purple Robed Sword Sect disciples leave.
Murder flitted across Huang Xiaolong's heart.
In his previous life, the number of criminals that died in Huang Xiaolong's hands was no less than twenty. The fact was, Huang Xiaolong wasn't a soft, kind-hearted person.
The scar-faced middle-aged man and the Purple Robed Sword Sect disciples paused, and their expressions changed in the same moment Fei Hou moved. As Fei Hou dashed forward, behind him, a river emerged!
The river emitted a flickering silver glow as if it was made of numerous swords light.
This is Fei Hou's martial spirit, Silver River!
Silver River was also a variational martial spirit.
Fei Hou immediately soul transformed after releasing his martial spirit! His body turned soft and flexible. Moving as if he had become a silver-colored river, he wound around the disciples of the Purple Robed Sword Sect, and horrifying screams came from their throats as pillars of blood shot out of their bodies. Without exception, all of them crumbled to the ground. In a blink of an eye, they had all died.
In the time needed to take six to seven breaths, all the other disciples of the Purple Robed Sword Sect disciples, as well as the scar-faced middle-aged man, Zhang Hua, died.
The two disciples of Cosmic Star Academy were rooted where they stood, filled with fear as they looked at Fei Hou. They were very aware of the strength of the Purple Robed Sword Sect disciples who had been pursuing them; after all, the scar-faced middle-aged man was a late peak Seventh Order warrior! Other than him, there were two other Seventh Order warriors!
By this time, Fei Hou had returned to his usual self and retreated behind Huang Xiaolong.
Only then did the two youngsters come to their senses.
"This, er.., this little brother and Senior, thank you for your saving grace, we will show our gratitude in the future!" The young man's voice quivered as he cupped his hand in salute. He then grabbed the girl's hand and quickly left in panic. Long after, he turned his head back looking at the direction they came away from in fear.
Fei Hou's face sank seeing the two ran away in panic when he had just saved them, so he asked Huang Xiaolong, "Young Master, should we…?" Fei Hou made a silencing gesture.
A certain light flitted in Huang Xiaolong eyes, but in the end, he shook his head. "Forget it." Although he too was disgusted with the manner which they fled from him, he understood that they were afraid he would silence them just like the Purple Robed Sword Sect.
Also, he wasn't worried that the pair would spread the story about, for it wasn't in their interest if this incident came to light.
"Let's leave this place." Huang Xiaolong said to Fei Hou after the disciples of the Cosmic Star Academy had faded from sight. He had lost interest in staying here.
"Yes, Sovereign!"
Before they left, Fei Hou incinerated the bodies.
Thus, two people and one little monkey entered the Silvermoon Forest.
Having Fei Hou, a peak late-Tenth Order warrior traveling with him, Huang Xiaolong wasn't afraid of encountering any powerful demonic beasts.
A month later, somewhere in the Silvermoon Forest, two bright rays of light flashed by and a big black bear roared as it fell, crashing into the ground. Afterward, Huang Xiaolong silhouette emerged in mid-air.
In the past month through killing demonic beasts, through combining his martial spirits' innate talent - Space Concealment and Phantom Shadow – Huang Xiaolong could now easily kill a Sixth Stage demonic beast.
The black bear Huang Xiaolong had just killed was a mid-Sixth Stage.
At this moment, the little violet monkey leaped off Huang Xiaolong's shoulder towards the big black bear. Its tiny claws slit across the skin, dug out a beast core, before opening its mouth and swallowing it; then it removed the bear gallbladder and gave it to Huang Xiaolong.
A mid-Sixth Stage black bear's gallbladder was much more potent compared to the Fourth Stage Bara Floret Python's snake gallbladder that he took last time.
Note:
-Senior Brother Cheng Zhanghua - full name; same person
-Fei Hou calls Huang Xiaolong Young Master/Lord when there are others around; I'm gonna keep at Young Master.
Capítulo 33: Chapter 33: Asura Demon Claw
Huang Xiaolong took wine out from the Asura Ring, then he shredded the black bear's gallbladder to mix it into the wine before he drank and gulped it all down. He finally got the wine a few days before after killing a group of mercenaries that called themselves Evil Spirit.
The moment the mid-Sixth Stage black bear's gallbladder entered his stomach, warm strands of energy began to flow into Huang Xiaolong's body. The strands started small, and then grew thicker within several breaths of time. Huang Xiaolong quickly started running the Asura Tactics' exercise law to absorb and convert the energy into battle qi.
With little more than one month's time, his battle qi had increased much quicker by training and killing demonic beasts in Silvermoon Forest than when he crazily practiced at Huang Clan Manor.
In Silvermoon Forest, he would run into things that aided his practice, such as the black bear gallbladder; this was important because the Sixth Order barrier is hard to break through. Those who had top grade level ten martial spirits needed about a year to break through from late peak-Fifth Order warrior to Sixth Order warrior.
Even though Huang Xiaolong possessed twin superb talent martial spirits, at the very least, he would need between five months to half a year before he could break into the Sixth Order.
Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged while he refined the energy, whereas the little violet monkey chewed on a purple-colored fruit that nobody knew from where it had picked it up. It never had to refine the beast cores that it swallowed.
The entire time, Fei Hou stood guard ten meters away, totally focused on the surrounding area.
A few hours later, Huang Xiaolong was done refining the black bear's gallbladder and got up. Not only had his battle qi increased, but his physique was also tougher, stronger, and firmer, including his tendons; and this increased his instant explosive power.
Huang Xiaolong summoned his blades and leaped up, and while in midair, his blades slashed downwards. Dozens of sword rays turned into razor- thin rain drops that drizzled down, covering an area ten meters wide.
Everything within that ten meters turned into dust.
A faint cry echoed from the razor-thin rain as if it came from hell, infringing upon peoples' mind. Afterward, Huang Xiaolong landed.
After one month of practicing, the Asura Sword Skill – Second Style, Tears of Asura had finally gotten to the minor completion level!
With one wave, cries of Asura could be heard.
But, he was still miles away from reaching major completion. With each wave of the blade, the razor-like rain was sometimes violent, or perhaps gentle like water, at times it raged like a heavenly river, and sometimes it was formless. That was the state when Tears of Asura reached the major completion level.
Currently, each of Huang Xiaolong's waves brought down a drizzle of razor-rain, but he had no control over its range or size.
Huang Xiaolong stopped his practice and recalled the Blades of Asura back into his arms. Suddenly, his fingers curled and clawed into the black bear corpse ignoring space. Dark black threads of energy flowed out from the black bear's corpse into Huang Xiaolong's body through his hands.
As the black strands of energy poured into Huang Xiaolong's body, he stood there while black light glimmered around his body, then suddenly Huang Xiaolong clawed at a huge tree ten meters away.
The sky seemed to darken as two black claws appeared midair.
A "Bang!" resounded through the air as both claws smashed against the huge tree, and it tumbled down, while the areas around the claw print had turned black, emanating death in the air.
In the past month, Huang Xiaolong had also started practicing the other battle skill mentioned in the illustration, Asura Demon Claw.
There were only five moves in Asura Demon Claw, but once it reached the major completion level, each move had an overwhelming destructive power.
The move Huang Xiaolong displayed earlier was called the Hiss of a Thousand Demons; when this move reached major completion and struck out – thousands of demons would appear and cover the sky, sweeping away everything in its path.
Yet, in Huang Xiaolong's previous hit, not even one demon appeared.
"It seems like I need to put more effort into practicing the Asura Demon Claw." Huang Xiaolong said to himself. The problem with practicing the Asura Demon Claw was that it had one primary requirement; one must absorb the soul blood qi of a recently deceased corpse, regardless of whether it was human or beast. The black strands of energy from the black bear Huang Xiaolong absorbed earlier was its soul blood qi.
Due to the need to absorb soul blood qi, Huang Xiaolong could not practice the Asura Demon Claw when he was back at home.
Suddenly, the sounds of footsteps and faint human voices was heard from afar.
Fei Hou instantly arrived behind Huang Xiaolong in a flash while the little violet monkey jumped down from a tree and perched onto Huang Xiaolong's shoulder.
"Let's avoid them," said Huang Xiaolong after having thought about it for a moment. Quickly Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou, and the little violet monkey flew into a tree with dense foliage some distance away and hid themselves.
Just as they had hidden among in the tree, some distance away, Huang Xiaolong could still see a group people moving towards them, wearing purple clothes-- they were Purple-Robed Sword Sect disciples!
Seeing that they were disciples of the Purple-Robed Sword Sect, Huang Xiaolong was a bit surprised and held his breath.
"Elder Chen, it has been one month and Senior Cheng has yet to meet up with us, could something have happened to them?" One of the Purple-Robed Sword Sect disciples asked.
Chen Feng's thick gray brows wrinkled; Cheng Liang group's of disciples had yet to rendezvous with them, so something unexpected might have happened.
Thinking of this, a cold light flickered across Chen Feng's eyes.
"Hmph, those who dare to kill disciples of our Purple-Robed Sword Sect are tired of living!" Another one added, "If we ever find them, we will eradicate nine generations of their lineage!"
Chen Feng turned his head and asked one of the disciples, "Have you found the two Cosmic Star Academy disciples?" A month ago, Cheng Liang was pursuing both of them before his team went missing. As long as they found the Cosmic Star Academy disciples, then they would know what happened to Chen Liang and his team.
"Reporting to Elder Chen, according to the message from our disciples, the Cosmic Star Academy disciples are somewhere near Poison Mist Valley." a disciple responded respectfully.
"Poison Mist Valley!" Chen Feng brows furrowed as he said coldly, "All of you follow me, we are going to Poison Mist Valley right now!"
"Yes, Elder Chen!"
A while later, the disciples of Purple-Robed Sword Sect left.
After the purple robed figures had gone and were no longer visible, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou came out from their hiding place.
"Sovereign, should we head towards Poison Mist Valley?" Fei Hou asked, "You should know that Poison Mist Valley is one of Silvermoon Forest's three most perilous spots."
"One of three most perilous?" Huang Xiaolong pondered for a moment and then said, " Let's go and have a look."
Thus, two people and a monkey followed behind the Purple-Robed Sword Sect disciples towards Poison Mist Valley; it wasn't that far away from where they were and after only one day of travel, they arrived at Poison Mist Valley."
They stood at the entrance of the Poison Mist Valley and watched as poisonous gray mists streaked with something green floated in the air. Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "Spread out and search."
The disciples of Purple-Robed Sword Sect answered respectfully and spread out.
Moments later, a disciple reported: "Elder Chen, there are some traces of fighting up front."
"Oh, let's go and have a look!"
