721 Chapter 721: The Demon
Seeing the eight years old child threatening them, the three men find it very funny. They had killed an unknown number of people in their lives. The number of children of Ye Xiao’s age that they killed alone can be counted in the hundreds.
And it was the first time they heard an eight years old kid threatening them
The three of them started laughing loudly, however, it was at this moment when a light flashed before their eyes. The next moment, the person Ye Xiao asked if it was his last wish fell to the ground, dead.
A complete silence enveloped the scene. The remaining two middle-aged men looked at Ye Xiao as if they were looking at a monster. They didn’t even see how Ye Xiao killed their companion. All they saw was a light flashing and a sharp red line appeared on their companion’s neck. And the very next moment, a big half of his neck was cut as his head hung down the other side with the support of the small half of his neck, and the man fell to the ground lifelessly.
When they shifted their eyes to Ye Xiao’s right hand, they saw a blade in his hand. This blade was fully black and was shining with white from time to time as if starlight was being reflected on it. They were unable to discover the grade of this weapon, but one thing was sure, this weapon must be one of the most powerful weapons in the Great Star Continent.
Well, what they were thinking was true. This blade truly was one of the most powerful weapons in the entire Great Star Continent. This weapon was called Black Star Blade and it was a Seven Star Weapon.
The weapons and pills in this world were divided into a total of Nine Stars, from One Star to Nine Stars, where one star is the weakest and the Nine Star is the highest.
The Black Star Blade was the weapon held by the ancestor of the Ye Family. And because Ye Xiao possesses the Nine Sun Divine Body, this sword was gifted to him by the long-browed old man on his seventh birthday. The long-browed old man wanted to see if Ye Xiao is qualified to hold this blade.
Ye Xiao also didn’t choose the spear in this world. He was already very familiar with the spear, as for blades, he didn’t know anything.
In the real world, he also has the Infinity Edge Blade. He wanted to learn more about blades in this world and use the knowledge he gains here to understand the meaning of blades in the real world.
If he were to compare the Black Edge Blade to the weapons in the real world, then it could be considered a Low Grade Immortal Weapon.
“You… Who are you?”
One of the two middle-aged men asked in a trembling voice. He couldn’t believe what Ye Xiao has done. How could an eight years old kid have such power?
This kid… he is as terrifying as ‘that’ demon who gave them orders to capture boys and girls and bring them to this cave.
“Looks like this is what you want to know at your last breath. Ok, I’ll satisfy you. I’m Ye Xiao, a person from a different world!”
Saying this with a smile on his face, Ye Xiao once again slashed his blade, causing another light to flash. This time, the two middle-aged men clearly saw an arc of light flashing past the person in question’s neck, and the next second, that man’s head was severed from his body.
Two were killed and one was left. The last middle-aged man started trembling. He wanted to beg for mercy and Ye Xiao clearly saw through his intention, so without giving him any chance, the Black Star Blade in his hand pierced into the middle-aged man’s heart, taking his life easily.
The middle-aged man was too terrified to put up any struggle. Ye Xiao shook his head, muttering in his heart that these three demonic cultivators were stains to the name of demonic cultivators. They were just a group of cowards.
Shaking his head, Ye Xiao looked inside the dark cave and stepped inside.
The entrance of the cave was like a long but narrow pathway, the end couldn’t be seen. Well, the inside was at least not black, however, it was also not white. Actually, it was demonic red in colour, giving one a feeling of entering the gate of hell.
The walls on both sides and the ceiling above were embedded with many egg-shaped stones that were illuminating red hue, giving the passerby enough light to see ahead clearly.
Ye Xiao walked the long path and soon the narrow pathway widened and opened up, revealing a deep crater. Actually, this was not a carter, it was more like a very big basin where even a big lake could be made. And this basin was filled with boiling magma.
At the center, there was a big square platform where strange runes were carved. Hundreds of boys and girls were lying unconscious there. Ye Xiao could even see his big brother in the middle.
At the southeast corner of the platform, there was a huge throne. A red-bodied demon with two thick and sharp horns was sitting on the throne and had his eyes closed. There were strange black patterns all over his red body, giving him a kind of different aura that made him look both intimidating and domineering.
From the looks, this demon doesn’t seem too old. He looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, but from his aura, Ye Xiao knew he was also a Peak Martial Emperor Realm demon, just like him.
Ye Xiao was indifferent. He looked at the demon and continued to walk forward. When he arrived at the corner from where the basin started, he started floating in the air.
The moment he flew over the basin, he was affected by the terrifying temperature.
However… Who was he?
He was someone who has awakened the Nine Sun Divine Body. Moreover, the Super Sun Fire Spirit was also being nurtured inside his body. This kind of temperature was nothing to Ye Xiao.
Suddenly, Ye Xiao felt something. The Super Sun Fire Spirit inside his body started grizzling and shaking in excitement. It seemed to have sensed something deep inside the basin and wanted Ye Xiao to enter and take a look at what is there.
“Wait for some time. After I save everyone, I’ll see what is inside!”
Ye Xiao calmed down the Super Sun Fire Soul. Well, he could also feel something deep inside the basin of magma was attracting his Nine Sun Divine Body. It must be a treasure.
Ye Xiao had only crossed one meter of distance when the demon on the throne felt something and opened his eyes. Layers after layers of shockwaves spread in every direction, wanting to shake off Ye Xiao, but it wasn’t even able to make Ye Xiao stop in his path, let alone shake him off and let him fall into the magma.
The demon looked at Ye Xiao strangely. This human in front of him was only an eight years old kid, but he was able to fly. This could only mean this boy was at least a Martial King.
“You are also a reincarnator?”
The demon opened his mouth and asked an unexpected question that made Ye Xiao stop in the midair and look at the demon deeply. A puzzled expression appeared on his face but he still nodded his head and replied, “Yes, I am!”
“Hahaha!” The demon started laughing and when he calmed down, he said with excitement fully revealing on his face: “I’m also the same as you. I entered the whirlpool that let me reincarnate as a demon. Demons grow more quickly, that’s why I might look like a fifteen or sixteen years old demon, but in fact, I’m also eight years old just like you.”
“But I don’t understand something, why don’t you come here and talk?”
pAɴᴅᴀ ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ Ye Xiao wasn’t afraid at all. He smiled and flew to the platform, and then descended in front of the demon and asked, “What do you want to know?”
“I’m a demon. My father in this life helped me increase my strength in many ways. One of which is by killing humans and absorbing their blood essence. Well, this is what I’m going to do with these guys, you see!”
“What I don’t understand is, how were you able to cultivate so quickly and grew this stronger as a mere human?”
Ye Xiao felt like laughing loudly. He didn’t control it and laughed out loud. After laughing for a while, he sneered at the demon and said, “A mere human? Have you already forgotten that you are also a human in the real world? Are you enjoying being a demon that much that you forgot your own origin?”
