Zixin stood alone in the middle of the village, incomplete corpses littered around him, the young, the old and those in the middle. His eyes were blood red like he was possessed by a demon and he was also smiling in satisfaction like he’d just painted a masterpiece and was now admiring its perfection.
[Ding! Two type of attack captured!
2. Burning Flesh (×5844)]
Zixin had just used all his remaining attacks to experiment on live targets and he was very impressed with the results. Using the Fist Intent that could reach people without physical contact, Zixin had come up with the idea to also add the captured attacks on his Fist Intent.
He first tested this theory at the Hong Manor’s forest, destroying many of their trees. He then came across two more villages, one he destroyed with another Explosion Earthquake and the other he practiced his ranged attacks on. Now, he could easily fuse captured attacks into any of close or ranged attacks, increasing their power many times over.
"When will we reach the Red Rose Sect?"
"In three...no! It’s two hours. We’ll reach the Red Rose Sect in two hours! Right, Black?"
The centipede screeched while also nodding its head. Now, both master and pet were fearful of Zixin because of his cruelty, Tiger and Fatso were also terrified of Zixin and the little boy was asleep, protecting him from such a disturbing sight.
"Then what are we waiting for, let’s go!"
The Red Rose is a Three Star Sect mostly dominated by females and there was only two male elders in the entire sect and no more than five male disciples. Even the sect leader of this sect was female.
It was early in the morning and many disciples had woken up and started practicing martial arts, some practiced sword techniques while others practiced water techniques and a few only woke up to watch the sun rise.
While practicing, an enormous centipede overboard, casting a massive shadow on them.
The centipede screeched loudly and the sect’s protection arrays were activated one after the other and created a strong barrier that blocked the powerful sound waves from reaching the sect. Soon after, many elders flew out of their cave abodes to see what exactly was going on.
The female elders were extremely beautiful with sexy bodies and fair skin while the male elders looked old, especially the one with burnt skin.
"The Demonic Cult, wasn’t it already destroyed by the new Sect Leader?" asked one of the elders.
"That’s not the Demonic Cult, that’s the Demonic Sect!" answered another elder. While the Red Rose Sect Elders were discussing the identity of their visitors, Black slammed against the barrier with his head, trying to break it. Surprisingly, nothing of that sort, the barrier remained strong and intact.
In fact, there weren’t even ripples after he collided with the barrier. Not giving up, Black attacked the barrier again and again but the results didn’t change, the barrier was too strong.
"Hahaha, that’s the Sect Leader for you! I can’t believe the array modifications he made strengthened the barrier to such a degree!"
"The Sect Leader is too powerful! Too powerful!"
"Unfortunately, he’s not here at the moment, otherwise he’d have taken care of these demonic scum already!" said the elders and disciples. Zixin then ordered Black to stop attacking the barrier since it was futile and he also felt that something was wrong.
"Wan Shui, how strong is that barrier? What level is it at?" asked Zixin.
"I’m not sure about the level but it’s very strong, even I’m not confident in breaking it. It seems these sects have found themselve a powerful backer." answered Wan Shui in a serious tone.
"Zimo, it’s time for you to shine!" said Zixin while grabbing the little boy by the neck.
"Who’s the mother of this boy? If you don’t come forward in ten seconds, I’ll break your son’s neck!" said Zixin coldly.
"Zimo!" shouted one of the female elders and flew closer to the barrier.
"Let go of my son! Let go of my son you bastard!" shouted the woman.
"Say another word and I’ll give you an incomplete corpse of you son! Now, I’m gonna ask you a few questions and you better answer truthfully!"
"Mother, listen to everything he said or he’ll really kill me! He has already slaughtered three villagers alone and didn’t spare even the children, wee, wee, wee." said Zimo while crying.
"Zimo my boy, don’t cry, mommy is gonna save you. Don’t worry, nothing is gonna happen to you." said the elder.
"First question, who set up such powerful array formations?" asked Zixin.
"It’s our new Sect Leader, Huang Jun. Initially, he was trash, only able to live in the sect because the previous sect leader is his aunt but not blood related. A few months, Sect Leader Huang suddenly woke up and asked for medicinal herbs and refined a pill that cured his sister of the cold disease, since then, he’s been excelling at everything he does. No one in the same realm is his match, none at all." explained the elder.
"You’re saying he was ordinary most of his life then turned a new leaf on a casual morning. What’s his current level? Where is he?"
"Mid Core Condensing Realm but he can fight Nascent Soul Realm experts, currently, no one in the sect is his match. He went to the Volcano Sect and will be back in three days time."
"And you said his sister had a cold disease? Is it the type to constantly release Yin Energy and turn into an ice sculptor?"
"That’s the one, how did you know?"
"I’m gonna hold on to your son a little longer while I rethink my plans. In the meantime, take this list and show it to everyone in the sect, I want information about the beasts on that list. Take your time and think carefully about your response, even the smallest clue is very valuable. Remember, everyone in the sect should see that list if you want your son to live."
Seeing the list, Yun Zimo wanted to stop his mother from accepting it but for fear of his own life, he kept quiet. Zixin and his entourage then disappeared into the nearby forest.
