Chapter 1232: Xiaosi Struck By Lightning
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The battle between the two strongest experts of the Holy Land was definitely not something that ordinary experts could withstand. Otherwise, the Holy
Master would not have set up a restriction to control the battle circle on his Holy Peak Mountain.
Yan Xiaosi’s vital energy was sealed, so of course she could not withstand the pressure of the two mighty figures. She did not understand. Who was that thunderous man?
There was no need to guess that the man in white who was fighting him was definitely the Holy Master. But the problem was… was there anyone in the Holy Land who could fight the Holy Master?
Yan Xiaosi had been protected extremely well since she was young, and the holy land was also protected extremely well by the Holy Master. Ever since the battle of the Earth Demon Palace, the Holy and Demon territories had ostensibly minded their own business. Therefore, Yan Xiaosi had never really seen a demon, so she could not guess the identity of the other party’s demon.
What Yan Xiaosi and most of the people from the Holy Land did not know was that the reason why the demons had not invaded the Holy Land all these years was because their Demon Lord had yet to grow up.
Back then, the demon soul had been chased by the Holy Master. Seeing that its soul was about to dissipate helplessly and it would never be able to fall into reincarnation, he thought of a sinister method. It was to sacrifice himself and pull the little baby that the Holy Master cared about into the demonic path.
Sacrificing himself was essentially different from possessing another person’s body. Back then, after Yan Xiaosi swallowed the demon soul, the demon soul still retained its consciousness. It was just waiting for the day when Yan Xiaosi was careless and could possess her. That way, Yan Xiaosi’s soul would disappear and become his nourishment.
And this was risky. If Yan Xiaosi’s soul power was strong enough, he might not be able to possess Yan Xiaosi for the rest of his life.
And by sacrificing himself, he was decomposing his soul power and turning it into Yan Xiaosi’s nourishment. Yan Xiaosi’s soul power could not refuse because this kind of sacrifice carried a curse.
He used the price of not entering reincarnation as a curse to pull Yan Xiaosi into the demonic path. However, no one expected that a little evil thing would appear halfway and help Yan Xiaosi become possessed.
The demons had always respected the strong. Moreover, the other party had inherited all the demon soul, so he naturally became the new Demon Lord. However, he was a child after all. He needed time to grow and refine the demon soul in his body.
The demon soul that had lost its autonomy only had majestic energy left, but it was not something that could be absorbed casually. All these years, the new Demon Lord had been in seclusion in the Nine Domains Demon Palace. This was why the demons had not invaded the holy land.
As for why the Holy Master did not lead troops to directly destroy the demons, there were many guesses in the world.
There was also another saying that the Holy Master and the Demon Lord had made a hundred-year agreement back then. After a hundred years, the two of them would fight to the death.
These were only guesses between cultivators. As for whether it was true or not, the Holy Master had never appeared to give an explanation.
Yan Xiaosi had long forgotten what happened when she was young, and no one had told her about it. Even the fact that she had swallowed a demon soul was to explain why there was a restriction in her body.
“Tsk, the more I look at it, the more familiar it looks.”
It was not strange for Yan Xiaosi to find the Holy Master familiar. The Holy Master’s portrait was everywhere on the streets, so how could she not have seen him before? But that man in black… could it be that she had seen him somewhere before?
Yan Xiaosi felt that now was not the time to think about this. When immortals fought, the little ghosts would suffer. She was the little ghost who suffered. “Sacred Luan, leave quickly!” If she didn’t leave now, she would lose her life here.
Actually, the Sacred Luan did not feel good either. However, there was a drop of phoenix true blood in its body that it had obtained from the ancient ruins. This made its physique stronger than ordinary, but no matter how powerful it was, it could not withstand such a battle.
The Sacred Luan flapped its wings and was about to fly out of the Holy Peak Mountain with Yan Xiaosi. Unexpectedly, black clouds suddenly surged in this world. It was endlessly dark. The Sacred Luan instantly lost its direction and bumped into a small mountain with a bang. Then, human and bird fell.
Yan Xiaosi let out a low cry of surprise. The eyes of the Holy Master, who was originally fighting, moved slightly. Yan Xiaosi did not know where the stinky bird had hit, but she fell off the bird and fell rapidly.
Just as the Holy Master waved his hand to push aside the clouds, he saw a little girl smash down at him.
The Holy Master frowned. A beam of light shot out from his fingertip and enveloped Yan Xiaosi. Yan Xiaosi stopped falling. She opened her eyes and was surprised to find that the sky was bright again. She was sitting in a huge ball of light.
The ball of light floated in the air, about eight to nine feet away from the Holy Master. Yan Xiaosi sat cross-legged and looked at the Holy Master without blinking. Just now, she could only see his back. Now, she could finally see his front.
Oh my god, what kind of face was this? H-h-h-he was too beautiful!
The Holy Master focused on fighting, but suddenly, he noticed the little girl in the ball of light waving at him from the corner of his eye.
The Holy Master glanced at her.
The light ball could isolate the damage from energy and also the sounds from inside and out. Therefore, he could not hear Yan Xiaosi’s words, but the shape of Yan Xiaosi’s mouth was too easy to recognize.
She was clearly saying, “Hey, you’re better looking than in the portrait!” The Holy Master turned around expressionlessly. Yan Xiaosi waved at him again, wave, wave, wave!
Bang!
The Holy Master did not look at her. With a flick of his wide sleeve, a huge energy slapped the ball of light into the mountain. The light ball was stuck firmly in the rock.
Yan Xiaosi pushed it. “Eh? What’s going on? You slapped me into the mountains just like that? I, Yan Xiaosi, have never had anyone dare to treat me like this!”
Yan Xiaosi began to take out the Dharma artifacts and spirit artifacts on her body. She threw a Thunderbolt Bead and heard a loud bang. The Thunderbolt Bead exploded. However, the ball of light did not break and instead fried her.
Yan Xiaosi had cornbread hair. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of black smoke.
The battle between the two continued.
The black-clothed man’s red thin lips curled up as he sneered and said, “Is this your strength? It seems that you’re not my match. Forget it, I’m not here today to take your life. I’m just making a deal with you. Hand over the people you caught a few days ago and I’ll leave with them. Moreover, I won’t step foot into the Holy Land for a hundred years. After a hundred years, I think your strength should have improved. At that time, we’ll have a good fight. What do you think?”
“No!” After the Holy Master finished speaking coldly, he flew up and fought him in the lightning.
Yan Xiaosi stared intently. She had never seen anyone fight so well in her life, but she did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that the strength of the Holy Master did not match the rumors.
He gradually fell into a disadvantage.
“How did this happen? Is he injured?” Before Yan Xiaosi could mutter something, the Holy Master’s right shoulder was burned by a bolt of lightning. Yan Xiaosi’s expression changed and she said loudly, “Hey! Nothing can happen to you! You still have to remove the restriction for me!”
Yan Xiaosi felt that if this continued, the Holy Master would lose. The man who controlled the lightning looked so ferocious. He might kill the Holy Master. No, she could not let the Holy Master die. If the Holy Master died, no one could remove the restriction in her body!
Yan Xiaosi tried her best to knock against the ball of light. After countless times, she finally knocked the ball of light out. She was stepping on the light ball inside. Realizing that she could step on the light ball as long as she walked fast enough, she quickly ran inside.
“I gave you a chance,” the man in black said.
The Holy Master looked at him coldly, a drop of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. The black-clothed man raised his slender jade-like hand and drew a bow with demonic energy. Then, he used lightning as an arrow and shot it fiercely at the Holy Master.
At this moment, Yan Xiaosi, who was sweating profusely, walked over on the ball of light. When they saw her rush over like a little hamster, the expressions of the Holy Master and the man in black changed at the same time.
The ball of light knocked the Holy Master away.
However, the Holy Master quickly flew back and pushed the ball of light away.
It was unknown which of the two actions angered the black-clothed man, but his face instantly turned as cold as ice. His eyes turned sharp as he drew his demonic bow and shot out another lightning arrow. It caught up to the first arrow and forcefully knocked it away. However, the huge power of lightning shattered the restrictions of the Holy Peak Mountain, and the entire world shook.
A huge energy fluctuation attracted the lightning.
Under the lightning, everything was destroyed! This was a good time to destroy the Holy Sect, but if one of the people he destroyed had…
The black-clothed man clenched his fists and waved all the lightning around him to face the lightning. He blocked most of the attack, but half of the lightning still slashed at the Holy Master and Yan Xiaosi in the ball of light.
The ball of light was shattered. Yan Xiaosi was struck by lightning. The Holy Master at the side was not any better. The Holy Master hugged her and spat out a mouthful of blood before falling from the sky.
It was silent and thick smoke rose. A demonic cultivator flew over and knelt on one knee in front of the black-clothed man. “Demon Lord, the Holy Sect is here. Hurry up and leave! We’ll discuss it at length when we get back!”
The black-clothed man looked at the abyss where the two of them had fallen and said in an ice-cold tone, “You guys go first.”
“But…”
Before the demonic cultivator could finish speaking, the black-clothed man flicked his sleeve and sent him out of the Holy Peak Mountain.
As for the black-clothed man himself, he jumped down into the abyss..
