Chapter 26: Madness

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At the same time that he threw the woman out, Xiao Shi waved the dark golden sword in his hand and slashed behind him with all his might. The golden sword light stirred up a wave of air currents. The danger coming from behind made him not dare to hold back. He attacked with all his might.

Clang!

There was a crisp sound of collision.

Xiao Shi’s dark golden sword struck an arm that was surrounded by blood and qi. Not only did it not cause any injuries to the arm, but it was also sent flying by the shocking power emitted from the arm.

“Release of blood and qi!”

Xiao Shi’s feet scraped the ground as he retreated uncontrollably, leaving a long mark on the ground.

Blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth. His arm that was holding the sword was in pain, and he almost could not hold the dark golden sword in his hand.

His heart sank even more. He knew very well.

Release of blood and qi was an ability that only martial artists at the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level could master!

The reason why the other party was able to clash head-on with his dark golden sword with his flesh and blood was because the Qi and blood he released had an extremely strong defense against his body.

This kind of protection was far more effective than some armor and shields. Even if he was unarmed, he was not afraid of martial artists holding weapons.

“There’s really a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level powerhouse chasing me!”

Xiao Shi looked solemnly at the enemy in front of him.

This middle-aged man had a gloomy face and a pair of triangular eyes. He gave Xiao Shi the feeling that he was a cold viper emitting a dangerous aura. After being targeted by him, it was as if he was in midwinter.

The most terrifying thing was the shocking Qi and blood fluctuations emitted from his body, as well as the powerful Qi and blood that surrounded his body like airflow.

All of this gave Xiao Shi unprecedented pressure.

Surprise flashed across Mu Zhang’s cold face. He still did not know that Xiao Shi had already killed Gale Stockade’s chief. After receiving the Gale Stockade’s chief’s call for help, he immediately rushed to the Gale Stockade.

When he arrived, the gates of Gale Stockade were already broken, and the culprit had already escaped. After pondering for a moment, he did not choose to check on the chief’s situation. Instead, he chose to chase after the culprit.

He knew that someone else would go and check on the chief. The most important thing was to leave the culprit behind. He chased him all the way down the mountain before finally catching up to him.

In his opinion, with an attack in the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level, he could not kill this person directly, but at least severely injure him. However, he did not expect that the other party would only be sent flying back by his attack.

This result surprised him.

“When he attacked just now, his Qi and blood clearly showed extraordinary fluctuations.” Mu Zhang carefully recalled. “It’s probably… a fluctuation near the seventh or the eighth stage of the Martial Entry-Level. On the surface, he’s only at Martial Entry-Level Four, but he actually has the strength of a Martial Entry-Level Seven. Looks like he has a treasure that hides his blood and qi!”

Mu Zhang narrowed his eyes. He knew very well. To be able to hide one’s blood and qi, one had to either have a body tempering or have a special treasure on them. The conditions for body tempering were harsh, so it was definitely impossible.

Relatively speaking, the possibility of special treasures was higher.

This tempted Mu Zhang. Such a treasure that could hide one’s blood and qi was rare. As long as he killed him, this treasure would be his.

“This is not good!” Xiao Shi’s expression was solemn. If it was the eighth stage of the Martial Entry-Level, he still had the strength to fight, but against the ninth stage…

It was too difficult.

Through that attack just now, he had already sensed the difference between him and the other party.

What was even more troublesome was that although he had left the Glazed Moon Mountain, he had not gone too far. If he stayed here for too long, or if another Martial Entry-Level Nine or Qi Martial Realm expert came, there would be no hope at all.

“I have to end this quickly!”

Xiao Shi’s eyes turned cold. He looked at Mu Zhang and said, “You…”

He had just opened his mouth to say a word.

BOOM!

Mu Zhang had already stepped on the ground and charged over. He was not as talkative as a villain.

“Damn it!”

Xiao Shi’s expression changed. This person wasn’t like Xu Feng, who didn’t want to say anything else and wouldn’t give him time to speak. This way, he wouldn’t have time to condense the mark.

His speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Xiao Shi. He raised his hand and punched out with his right fist that was surrounded by Qi and blood.

Xiao Shi did not dare to face it head-on. He hurriedly used Arc Flash to dodge to the side.

Mu Zhang’s punch missed. However, Mu Zhang seemed to have expected this scene. Through his previous pursuit of Xiao Shi, he had already discovered that Xiao Shi was very fast. Otherwise, he would not have chased him all the way to the foot of the mountain.

The moment Xiao Shi dodged, he whipped out his right leg in an instant, causing the air to explode. He locked onto the place where Xiao Shi was dodging in advance, blocking all of his escape routes, making it impossible for him to dodge.

Xiao Shi had no choice but to grit his teeth and slash out, colliding with the incoming right leg.

Boom!!

An astonishing force sent Xiao Shi and his sword flying far away. Xiao Shi’s sword-wielding arm was broken, and his body was sent flying dozens of meters away. Even the dark golden sword in his hand was cracked.

No, he was too strong! There was no way to fight at all!

Xiao Shi coughed out blood. Apart from his broken arm, even his internal organs were damaged. The Qi and blood that surrounded Mu Zhang’s body not only provided him with astonishing protection, but also greatly increased his attack.

This was the strength of a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist.

After releasing their Qi and blood, they would become incomparably powerful, far from being comparable to other Martial Entry-Level cultivators.

Although there was only one level between Martial Entry-Level Eight and Martial Entry-Level Nine, this difference of one level was far more shocking than the gap between Martial Entry-Level Eight and Martial Entry-Level One.

If this continued, he would definitely die!

“At this point, I can only give it a try!”

Xiao Shi made up his mind and a certain risk appeared in his mind. He stood up from the ground with a hint of madness in his eyes. Not only did he not escape, but he also used Arc Flash and took the initiative to rush towards Mu Zhang.

“He’s still alive!!” Mu Zhang frowned deeply. It was hard to imagine that the other party could still stand up after being attacked by him. He had always killed an ordinary Martial Entry-Level Seven with a single punch.

However, this guy in front of him could still rush towards him after being hit twice in a row. The strength of his body far surpassed that of an ordinary Martial Entry-Level Seven, and he was even more resistant than an ordinary Martial Entry-Level Eight!

This kind of physical body… was simply inconceivable!

Still, even if Xiao Shi’s body was extraordinary, his cultivation was still insufficient. The difference between the two was too great.

Killing intent exploded in Mu Zhang’s eyes. The qi and blood released from his body boiled as he punched with all his might. This punch was even more ferocious and violent than the previous two attacks.

However, Xiao Shi, who was charging forward, did not stop or dodge. His face was filled with madness!

Crack!

There was an ear-piercing sound of bones breaking.

Xiao Shi’s entire chest collapsed from Mu Zhang’s punch, and his sternum shattered. At the same time when Mu Zhang’s fist hit Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi also threw the small blue bottle in his left hand at Mu Zhang.

The wine-red liquid flew out of the bottle and splashed onto Mu Zhang.
