2156 Battle Slave
“Our young master heard about your recent achievements and admires you very much,”
Protector Tian Ze of Scarlet Dark Valley said, “This time round, when he heard that you were about to pass by this place, the young master specially set up a banquet and even invited the sect masters of some sects and factions in the vicinity. When these important figures heard your name, they wanted to take a look as well.”
Although Tian Ze’s words were flattering the Martial Dao Prime Body on the surface, there were two layers of meaning in his words.
First, the young master of Scarlet Dark Valley, Heaven Immortal Chi Li, was extremely prestigious in the nearby territory.
Second, when he mentioned the presence of sect masters of some sects and factions, he was secretly exerting pressure on the Martial Dao Prime Body!
The eyes of the Martial Dao Prime Body were deep and he wore a cold silver mask. No one could tell if his expression changed.
He did not reply when he heard Tian Ze’s words.
At the side, Pi Feng narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, “May I know your name, Fellow Daoist?”
“Desolate Martial,”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said.
Pi Feng rolled his eyes and said in a seemingly casual manner, “There are some rumors outside that you ascended from the lower worlds. I don’t believe such words.”
“I’m from the lower worlds,”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said indifferently, “I ascended less than a thousand years ago.”
Tian Ze and Pi Feng exchanged glances—both could see the doubt in the other’s eyes.
How could he destroy a group of sects and factions after ascending for a thousand years?
Everyone flew through the air and arrived at the main hall of Scarlet Dark Valley before long.
The Martial Dao Prime Body surveyed his surroundings.
The familiar aura earlier on was in the vicinity. However, it had vanished and he could not determine its exact location right away.
In front of the hall, a black-haired, scarlet-robed man sat on a high seat. His eyes were long and narrow as he looked down at the Martial Dao Prime Body with a cold glint in the depths of his eyes.
If he was not wrong, this should be the young master of Scarlet Dark Valley, Heaven Immortal Chi Li!
Two rows of cultivators sat beneath Heaven Immortal Chi Li on both sides.
The Martial Dao Prime Body swept his spirit consciousness and could tell that the two rows of cultivators were top-tier Heaven Immortal experts!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The moment the Martial Dao Prime Body entered the hall, two rows of Heaven Immortal experts turned to look. Some of them had cold expressions, some of them were expressionless and some of them did not conceal the hostility on their faces.
“Fufufufu,”
Heaven Immortal Chi Li did not stand up and raised his head slightly. “This must be the mysterious purple-robed man who has been famous for the past thousand years, right?”
Tian Ze stood out and said in a deep voice, “Young master, this is him. His name is Desolate Martial.”
“Desolate Martial?”
Heaven Immortal Chi Li smirked. “That title is rather ordinary.”
Instantly, laughter broke out on both sides of the hall.
Tian Ze pointed to the top Heaven Immortal experts in two rows and introduced, “This is the Palace Lord of Peerless Palace, this is the Pavilion Master of Immortal Slaying Pavilion, this is the Stronghold Lord of Heaven Asura Stronghold and this is the Sect Master of Wind Fire Sect…”
Naturally, their titles were resounding, such as Immortal Slaying and Peerless.
Tian Ze introduced the Heaven Immortal experts the entire way but none of them stood up. They merely looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body coldly.
The Martial Dao Prime Body did not seem to have heard Tian Ze’s introduction and did not move at all. His eyes were half-closed as he searched for the source of that hatred.
Piak!
Unable to hold it in any longer, the Pavilion Lord of Immortal Slaying Pavilion slammed the table and stood up, harrumphing coldly. “Desolate Martial, how arrogant! Why aren’t you removing your mask after coming to Scarlet Dark Valley? Let’s see your true appearance!”
“Exactly,”
The Stronghold Lord of Heaven Asura Stronghold sneered, “How should we know where you came from if you’re hiding the entire time, cowardly rat!”
The sect masters present were all from black-grade factions in this territory and had long heard of the methods of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
If not for the fact that they were in Scarlet Dark Valley, they would not have dared to speak to the Martial Dao Prime Body in such a manner.
“Everyone, there’s no need to be angry,”
Heaven Immortal Chi Li pretended to be magnanimous and waved it off. “Extraordinary people naturally have a strange way of doing things. Since this Fellow Daoist insists on wearing his mask, he can have it on.”
“Desolate Martial, aren’t you going to thank our young master?”
Tian Ze stood behind the Martial Dao Prime Body and narrowed his eyes.
When the Martial Dao Prime Body entered the hall, he did not bow to anyone or even say anything—everyone was already displeased.
Although Heaven Immortal Chi Li did not say it explicitly, his eyes were already filled with killing intent!
Suddenly, the Martial Dao Prime Body stomped his feet and asked, “What’s beneath this hall?”
He could vaguely sense that the source of the hatred should be beneath the hall!
“Beneath this is the most outstanding battle slave I’ve ever reared,”
At the mention of that, Heaven Immortal Chi Li was a little smug. He looked at the sect masters on the two rows in the hall and asked with a smile, “I wonder if any of the people you guys brought this time round can defeat my battle slave.”
“Fellow Daoist Chi Li, I found a Moon Devouring Heavenly Wolf this time round. Although its bloodline is impure, it’s extremely ferocious and can compete against your battle slave!”
As he said that, the Pavilion Lord of Immortal Slaying Pavilion waved his sleeves and threw out a gigantic cage. Within was a gigantic wolf that was a hundred feet tall with short silver fur!
The gigantic wolf’s cultivation was at the Level 9 Black Essence realm. It bared its fangs and had a ferocious gaze. The fur on its body shone with a strange silver glow and its eyes vaguely reflected two round moons that were incomparably demonic!
It was said that this lineage of the wolf race could devour the full moon in the firmaments!
Heaven Immortal Chi Li burst into laughter. “Good, good, good! The Moon Devouring Heavenly Wolf doesn’t look weak. I wonder how many slashes it can take from my battle slave!”
“Come on out!”
Heaven Immortal Chi Li waved his palm and the ground in the middle of the hall suddenly cracked. A skinny figure wrapped in chains rushed out from the ground with a pitch-black saber in his right hand, filled with torrential hatred!
That person’s hair was disheveled and he was covered in injuries. Many of the wounds on his body had yet to form scabs and some of his flesh had already rotted.
“Kill!”
The moment the figure arrived in the hall, he charged towards Heaven Immortal Chi Li with bloodshot eyes.
“Hmph!”
However, before he even took a few steps, Heaven Immortal Chi Li sneered and his spirit consciousness moved.
Tiny spikes popped out from the chains on the person’s body and pierced into his body like thorns!
Instantly, blood flowed from that person’s body!
Even the person’s kneecap was pierced by the thorns.
As though he could not feel any pain, he did not make a single sound. His body trembled and he almost fell to the ground. However, he still glared at Heaven Immortal Chi Li fiercely, wanting nothing more than to skin the latter alive!
“Hehe,”
At the side, the Pavilion Lord of Immortal Slaying Pavilion chuckled. “Fellow Daoist Chi Li, you’ve captured this battle slave for many years. To think that you’ve yet to subdue him. Even now, he wants to kill his master.”
“It’s fine, I’ll torture those who are disobedient bit by bit!”
Heaven Immortal Chi Li said with a smile, “This is the outcome of anyone who dares to disobey me in my territory!”
As he said that, Heaven Immortal Chi Li turned to look at the Martial Dao Prime Body.
His words were meant for the Martial Dao Prime Body!
However, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not seem to have heard anything and merely looked at the battle slave who was covered in injuries not far away with a shuddering killing intent!
