750 -748: No One Dares to Stop!
[Third Update]
“Go eat your grandfather!”
Xiao Yi, holding the moon-cutting blade, leaped high into the air, his body emanating a piercing Evil Qi that seemed tangible, causing the temperature around him to plummet by more than ten degrees.
Among the howling cold winds and evident killing intent, he charged towards Taotie.
This beast actually expects me to eat shit?
And dares suggest I crawl between its legs?
Isn’t this asking for death?
Watching Xiao Yi kick over the table and advance towards him with his sword, Taotie’s face revealed a human-like dumbfounded expression.
His mind went blank.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I supposed to do?
The three existential questions suddenly flooded Taotie’s mind.
He is one of the ten Demon Marshals of the Yunmeng Dynasty, the mythological beast Taotie that guards the Cloud Dream Temple!
The Guardian of this trial!
Unless he grants permission and one passes his test, it’s absolutely impossible to enter the Cloud Dream Temple.
Didn’t you see the prodigy Ye Ling from the Holy Land or the mysterious youth, obediently eating that bowl of shit and crawling under his legs?
Taotie never expected someone would dare to resist!
Let alone wish to kill him!
Ye Ling and others also didn’t expect this…
Looking at each other with bewilderment, their faces sported the same confused look, “I, I must be hallucinating from eating shit, Xiao Yi actually wants to kill Taotie?”
“Is it me who has gone crazy from eating shit or is it Xiao Yi who’s lost his mind?”
“This is the Guardian of the Cloud Dream Temple, the former Demon Marshal, how, how, how could he dare…”
Ye Ling’s pretty face turned pale, she bit her lower lip gently and looked towards the mysterious youth beside her, “Shi, Shixiong, has Xiao Yi really gone mad?”
“Gone mad?”
The mysterious youth rolled his eyes and then let out a wry smile, sighing softly, “When it comes to courage, I’m not his match.”
“Huh?”
Ye Ling was startled and showed a puzzled expression.
She knew very well the identity of this mysterious youth, even the elders from the Nantian Holy Land highly regarded him, he always carried himself with pride, disregarding everything.
Not even his peers from the Nantian Holy Land could catch his eye, let alone those so-called geniuses from outside, who didn’t even qualify to catch his attention.
But now…
He was actually admitting that he was less courageous than Xiao Yi?
The mysterious youth nodded forcefully, his expression complex as he said, “Even I, in the face of the temptation from the Cloud Dream Temple, had to submit to Taotie.
The thought of resistance never crossed my mind, only focused on completing the mission.
But Xiao Yi is different, his pride and martial spirit won’t allow him to be humiliated, eating shit and crawling under a beast are beyond what he can tolerate.
Therefore, he chooses to kill Taotie…”
Hiss!
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
If we are to be honest,
Among those present…
Indeed, not a single one had given any thought to killing Taotie to pass the trial directly.
Just as the mysterious youth said, in terms of courage, none of them could compare to Xiao Yi.
“What’s the use of having courage?
Taotie is an ancient mythical beast, one of the former ten Demon Marshals, how could Xiao Yi possibly be his opponent?”
“I fear he will anger Taotie, thereby implicating us all!”
Many people, having eaten shit and crawled between its legs to enter the Cloud Dream Temple, naturally didn’t want to see Xiao Yi kill Taotie and enter unscathed, speaking in a sardonic and strange tone.
But their faces were quickly slapped hard!
Duang!
Xiao Yi’s blade transformed into a hundred-yard-long sword light, descending from the sky with overwhelming momentum.
Taotie was worthy of being a former Demon Marshal.
Caught off guard.
The moment he realized what was happening, two balls of icy cold light burst forth from his blood-red eyes, and with a cold snort, he exhaled two streams of chaotic air from his nostrils.
His body shook and, opening his mouth, he spat out a black energy sphere that, with a buzzing sound, shot out toward the sword light like a mountain, both unleashing a violent surge of energy.
They collided in the void.
Boom!
The entire Cloud Dream Temple violently trembled.
The violent energy scattered in all directions.
Xiao Yi’s figure was sent flying backward, spinning several times in the void before coming to a stop.
Upon steadying himself, Xiao Yi tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, and with a bang, he shot forward again like an arrow released from its bow.
The Glutton was also knocked back several steps, his body huge, covering dozens of meters in a single stride.
His frame crashed against the city wall behind the Cloud Dream Temple with a rumble, causing his figure to shake violently.
The killing intent in his blood-colored eyes was sky-shattering, and the sight of his saw-toothed fangs as he opened his mouth was enough to send chills down one’s spine.
“You’re courting death!”
The Glutton roared furiously as black light swirled around his body, gathering into dark spheres behind him.
Then the whooshing sounds of cleaving air followed one after another.
Columns of black light soared into the sky and then plummeted from the great heights.
They were like black meteors.
Wrapped in black flames, they burned fiercely as they hurtled down.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
As the spheres of black energy hit the ground, they immediately exploded, blasting large craters into the solid black gleaming stone below.
Xiao Yi moved nimbly, dodging all attacks with the grace of a leaf that does not touch the flowers it passes, before suddenly diving forward to stand before the Glutton.
The Glutton’s eyes flashed viciously, his gaze icy cold as he roared, “Darkness Devour!”
Buzz!
A black vortex emerged in his mouth. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Countless streams of black energy from all around converged into a massive black vortex, as if intending to swallow everything before it whole.
But just as the black vortex took shape,
Xiao Yi reached out with his palm, his vital energy gushing forth, turning into a brilliant silver hand in the void.
This hand reached forward and violently grasped the Glutton’s upper and lower lips, clamping his mouth shut.
The Glutton’s eyes widened in shock, filled with terror.
His mouth was so filled with violent energy that it bulged, his face displaying an expression of utter terror.
Whimpering sounds!
The Glutton let out a series of muffled groans as he struggled frantically.
But Xiao Yi was unmoved, as the Slash Moon transformed into a hundred-zhang longsword.
With a thrust, it pierced through the Glutton’s mouth, pinning him firmly to the ground.
Then, Xiao Yi quickly retreated backward.
The Glutton tried to pull the sword light out with his claws, but his arms were too short to reach the longsword, while the energy inside his mouth had already accrued to its peak.
It had stretched his mouth to the limit.
And then…
Boom!
The earth trembled, and all of Yunmeng Marsh shook like chaff in the wind.
A burst of light shot into the heavens.
The mushroom cloud rolled and billowed, rising thousands of feet high.
As the ferocious energy storm dissipated,
In front of Cloud Dream Temple, the guardian known as the Glutton was no longer there, leaving only a longsword flickering with icy cold light and half of a mutilated lip.
“…”
Inside and outside Cloud Dream Temple,
Everyone stood dumbfounded, unable to utter a sound.
Only Xiao Yi appeared casual, recalling the Slash Moon into his body with a wave of his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He looked at the stunned Yue Shanchuan and Chai Yi, “Follow me into the hall!”
“Okay, okay!”
Yue Shanchuan and his companion exchanged a look and quickly followed behind him.
On their way…
Even Ye Ling and the mysterious young man unconsciously stepped aside.
Although they had entered the Cloud Dream Temple first, no one dared to block their path in the face of Xiao Yi’s bright and radiant smile…
