Chapter 1343: Chapter 1344: Have You Seen Through Me?
A hoarse voice emanated from the black mist, laced with a mocking tone.
Looking at the orderly row of black-robed cultivators standing opposite them, Old Beggar and the others felt a sudden and inexplicable chill in their hearts.
“Kid, this situation doesn’t seem right!”
“Didn’t they say the underground was already suppressed?”
Old Beggar asked shakily in a low voice.
He felt he had been duped, thrown into the tiger’s jaws, right onto their dinner plate.
“Kid, didn’t you promise there’d be as many Saint-tier demonic beasts as we wanted? Why does it look like reality isn’t matching up with your claims?”
Ergouzi commented from the side.
The scene in front of them clearly showed that Li Xiaobai’s Saint-tier Godzilla had been trounced, while the opposition remained unscathed!
“Relax, just a minor affair, why worry? You think I haven’t weathered storms bigger than this?”
Li Xiaobai took a leisurely puff of his cigarette, his expression calm as he spoke.
In his mind, he pondered: if these black-robed Saint-tier cultivators were on the same level as Dan Dao and the others, there shouldn’t be any way they could defeat the Saint-tier Godzillas. Even if Xueshenzi got involved, total annihilation seemed impossible!
There must be someone else meddling in the background. In this dim underground world, besides Xueshenzi and the Blood Demon Sect’s core elders, there had to be other formidable figures present. Otherwise, there was no way they could rout the Godzilla army without taking any losses themselves!
“Sever an arm by yourself, kneel, and reveal every secret you know. Do that, and I might spare your life.”
Xueshenzi’s voice came softly from within the black mist.
The black mist, bearing the air of victory, shot out two cold rays aimed at Li Xiaobai.
“Take him down!”
Li Xiaobai’s eyes grew cold. He waved his hand dismissively and spoke calmly. Beside him, the nine-headed Godzilla roared furiously, the Red Lotus Karma Fire from its tail surged uncontrollably toward the black mist and the group of black-robed cultivators.
But in the very next instant, several dark shadows emerged from the darkness again, stepping forward to intercept the karmic fire’s offensive.
Terrifying ripples swept across the void as flames shot skyward. The forms of the shadowy figures materialized before Li Xiaobai, unharmed.
“Heh, kid, you can’t harm me. Killing my Blood Demon Sect core elders won’t be forgiven so easily!”
“If you obediently confess now, I can ensure your corpse remains intact!”
Xueshenzi’s voice carried cold indifference as he spoke.
“These people…”
Li Xiaobai focused and observed carefully. The eyes of these individuals were hollow, their bodies stiff, utterly unmistakable—they were all corpses, refined into puppets to fight here.
With just a glance, a single name surfaced in his mind: Yan Zuzi!
In the Central Origin Realm, among all who had mastered puppet refinement to such an extreme level, there was none other than this man.
“So Beichen Feng was right all along. Elder Yan Zuzi, you truly chose to aid a tyrant, secretly safeguarding this Xueshenzi!”
Li Xiaobai squinted his eyes and spoke into the darkness.
“Junior, you are young, and I have already uncovered your background. A mere army of two hundred Saint-tier demonic beasts may be formidable, but it is not invincible!”
“Perhaps in the Central Origin Realm, I am someone everyone wishes to kill. But if you truly aim to strike me down, it won’t take my own hands to stop you—the revered masters you admire and respect would be the first to oppose you. Youthful ambition and vigor are good qualities, but you must balance them with practicality. Being too bold doesn’t lead to longevity!”
“The waters of the Central Origin Realm run deep, far beyond your reach. You are but a pawn. Do you truly think you can overturn the heavens?”
The black mist churned as Xueshenzi spoke coldly.
“Who told you I only had two hundred of them? The Saint-tier beasts I command are limitless. While I may not know what you’re so afraid of, once I crush the Blood Demon Sect, I believe you’ll come clean on your own!”
Li Xiaobai squinted and dismissed his thoughts of extracting information through conversation. This bunch was way too cunning.
Not a single detail had been revealed.
To uncover the secrets of the Central Origin Realm, it seemed torture would be the only answer. Time to subdue them first.
“The only reason I’ve held back the bigger army is to avoid wrecking the Southern Continent. But since Sect Master Xue insists on being stubborn, I suppose I’ll have to use some other measures.”
“Take him down!”
Li Xiaobai’s face was expressionless as he waved his hand casually. His spirit dove into the System Mall, where he burned ten billion in an instant, summoning one hundred Saint-tier Godzillas to descend from the skies.
“Fear is always born from insufficient firepower. Once the numbers are overwhelming, you cannot touch me!”
The moment the Saint-tier Godzillas materialized, this underground world began to collapse.
The sheer size of the one hundred Godzillas was too immense. This small dark world burst apart completely, and if observed from the outside, it would be clear that massive, terrifying shadows were rising, breaking through the earth.
“Roar!”
Godzillas let out deafening cries, their terrifying roars echoing across the heavens.
The earth overhead cracked layer by layer, crimson blood slowly seeping through—it was the Blood Pool reversing its flow.
“Heh, a splendid display of grandeur, yet still only one hundred Godzillas. Do you really think this will intimidate me?”
“Utter nonsense!”
“Just one hundred of them. Still entirely within manageable limits!”
“Take action!”
The black mist swirled as Xueshenzi spoke frostily.
The black-robed Saint-tier cultivators behind him soared into the air, forming groups of three or four as they worked together to channel formation patterns. Layers of crimson light flickered, creating intricate blood-colored symbols to grind down the Godzillas.
This was the Blood Demon Sect’s signature Slaughter Formation. To destroy such high-defense, high-health Saint-tier Godzillas, this was the only viable method.
From the darkness, an additional ten plus figures leapt out, all possessing Saint-tier cultivation levels. Together with the black-robed cultivators, they worked to activate the formation, aiming to annihilate the Godzillas in one fell swoop.
Crimson formations shot into the sky, steadily expanding and covering the entire Blood Demon Sect. Quietly, Li Xiaobai lit another cigarette, then, with a flick of his hand, summoned yet another hundred Saint-tier Godzillas.
“Heh, another one hundred!”
“If my guess is correct, your supply of Saint-tier beasts is running low. Honestly, these beasts are too cumbersome and lack agility. Their first appearance did cause some trouble, but now we’re accustomed to them. Our Blood Demon Sect’s Slaughter Formation can handle this!”
“On the other hand, that replica of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle you wield has extraordinary potency—even I must take it seriously!”
“Junior, you have excellent talent, formidable strength, and remarkable luck. Yet, your intelligence is lacking. You’ve utterly squandered your good hand. While I may not be able to kill you today, I can effortlessly deplete your forces!”
Xueshenzi spoke with unshaken confidence, his tone icy.
After listening to his words, Li Xiaobai tilted his head, a strange expression settling on his face: “Oh? Is that so? Have you truly figured me out?”
