Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 23 - 022 Flame Saber

23: Chapter 022 Flame Saber

23 -022 Flame Saber

Blood Wolf finished speaking and swept a cold glance over everyone before falling silent.

After the brutal massacre, only 600 of the 1000 martial artists from the Blood Wolf Gang were left, and half of the 80 Blood Wolf Guards had died.

If he did not agree to Xiao Tianxiong’s request, another chaotic battle might erupt immediately, so Blood Wolf compromised.

“Hmph, an hour’s time, it’s hard to even leave Green Sun Town, so why not give it to you?” Blood Wolf thought inwardly.

Shi Zhan pulled Xiao Tianxiong aside, his face filled with anger, and said, “Old Man Xiao, how can you let Xiao Ye face the Blood Wolf Gang alone!”

“Yeah, you are pushing Xiao Ye into a dead end,” Wu Shi followed and exclaimed with eyes wide as copper bells.

Xiao Tianxiong showed a bitter smile and said, “Do you think I want this?

Ye’er is the hope of our town.

But if we keep fighting messily, all three of our villages will be destroyed, do you really want that?”

Shi Zhan and Wu Shi exchanged glances and fell silent.

Indeed, although they had inflicted great damage on the Blood Wolf Gang, they themselves were greatly weakened as well, with over half of the villagers of each village dead or injured.

The ferocity of the Blood Wolf Gang was beyond their expectations.

Although Xiao Ye is the top genius of Green Sun Town, the cost of continuing the relentless battle was too much for them to bear.

Seeing the two silent, Xiao Tianxiong continued, “Ye’er’s talent far surpasses ours.

As long as he can escape Green Sun Town and return after cultivating to the Innate Realm, the likes of Blood Wolf Gang won’t be a concern.”

Wu Shi exhaled softly upon hearing this and smiled, “Old Man Xiao, so you’re planning to retreat in order to advance.”

“But an hour’s time, escaping from Green Sun Town is a bit difficult,” Shi Zhan said, frowning.

Xiao Tianxiong shook his head, his eyes flashing coldly, “An hour’s time is just an excuse to delay the Blood Wolves.

If I mentioned more, he might not agree.

When the time comes, I will quietly follow the troops of the Blood Wolf Gang, risking this old life to ensure Ye’er gets out.”

A tremor went through Shi Zhan and Wu Shi’s hearts, and they couldn’t help but admire Xiao Tianxiong.

An hour quietly elapsed; Blood Wolf swung his arm, leading the charge, followed by a large group of Blood Wolf Gang martial artists.

…

Whoosh!

Upon leaving Xiao Family Village, Xiao Ye immediately activated the True Qi within his body and headed towards the Fierce Beast Forest.

“Blood Wolf!” Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered with cold light, his killing intent formidable.

Aside from the hatred for injuring his father, there were numerous blood debts between him and Blood Wolf, which he must repay, otherwise, he would be letting down the villagers who died protecting him.

Xiao Ye dared not delay, knowing well that only by surviving would he have the chance for revenge.

With the Time Tower in hand, revenge was not difficult; what he lacked was only time.

“Huh?

The Blood Wolf Gang’s men haven’t caught up?” Soon, Xiao Ye noticed something amiss.

“No matter, first get that long blade.” Xiao Ye’s figure dashed into the Fierce Beast Forest.

If he could obtain that Xuan Artifact and comprehend the Martial Arts True Intent contained within, his time for revenge would be greatly shortened.

Along the way, several ferocious beasts spotted Xiao Ye and pounced, but he killed each with a single palm.

With his current cultivation and the advanced version of the Great Collapse Palm, he was strong enough to sweep across beasts of Postnatal Realm Sixth Layer.

Because he was familiar with the path, Xiao Ye entered 20 li deep into the Fierce Beast Forest in just half an hour, the familiar low hill appearing in his sight.

Xiao Ye did not hesitate, passed through the knee-high weeds, and entered the secluded cave entrance.

Following the path that led straight to the underground, he moved forward for another half hour.

The magma underground emitted light, suddenly illuminating the surroundings.

Xiao Ye leaped down from the mountain path into the underground cave.

Gurgle gurgle!

The bubbling magma emitted an intense heat wave.

With the light aiding him, Xiao Ye cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

Roar!

Suddenly, an angry roar erupted next to Xiao Ye, and a stench hit his face.

“Golden Barbarian Bear!” Xiao Ye’s gaze turned icy, and he instantly leaped away, casting a sideways glance.

He saw a three-meter-tall Golden Barbarian Bear with golden fur standing in the distance, glaring fiercely at him, its tower-like robust body imposing immense visual pressure.

The Golden Barbarian Bear recognized Xiao Ye at once—the youth who had broken into the cave before, its eyes filled with even more anger.

It roared while beating its chest.

“Big guy, I’m not afraid of you now!” Xiao Ye’s expression was stern, the True Qi in his twelve meridians roaring into action; powerful forces flowed between his palms as he struck towards the Golden Barbarian Bear.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Five loud bangs echoed continuously from Xiao Ye, as he unleashed the advanced version of the Great Collapse Palm.

The Golden Barbarian Bear exhibited a hint of human-like disdain in its eyes; it had beaten Xiao Ye into a hasty retreat last time and believed it could do the same this time.

But soon, the disdain in the eyes of the Golden Barbarian Bear turned into shock.

Its huge body was repelled by a palm from Xiao Ye.

“Again!”

Xiao Ye was also pushed back a few steps.

With the advanced version of the Great Collapse Palm, he fought equally against the Golden Barbarian Bear at the peak of Postnatal Sixth Realm.

As their fierce battle continued, the strong winds scattered throughout the cave, causing stone chips to fly off the cave walls.

With twelve meridians providing True Qi, Xiao Ye fought more and more fiercely, his palm winds overwhelming, shaking the Golden Barbarian Bear so much that it screamed continuously, and blood faintly seeped into its golden fur.

Although the Golden Barbarian Bear was thick-skinned and thick-fleshed, it too felt pain.

Finally, after suffering a few more palms from Xiao Ye, the Golden Barbarian Bear roared reluctantly, then jumped into the mountain path and escaped.

“This big guy is really tough to deal with.” Watching the Golden Barbarian Bear flee, Xiao Ye sighed in relief and did not pursue.

He came here this time with the intention to take the Xuan Artifact, naturally, he wouldn’t waste time killing the Golden Barbarian Bear.

“Xuan Artifact!” Xiao Ye’s gaze shifted toward the magma, settling on the ancient-shaped long saber.

Swoosh!

Xiao Ye stepped on a huge rock floating above the magma, approached the long saber, bent down, grabbed the hilt, and pulled hard, only to find that the saber didn’t move an inch.

“Hmm?” Xiao Ye frowned, then shouted loudly, driving the True Qi in his body toward his palm and pulled again.

Swoosh!

Although the long saber was finally pulled out, like a King being challenged, the blade hummed and trembled.

Boom!

A terrifying will surged from the long saber, heavily striking Xiao Ye’s mind, causing his face to pale, and he staggered back several steps, almost falling into the magma.

At that moment, numerous flames and blade lights appeared before Xiao Ye’s eyes, pouring down like a waterfall and transforming into a sea of flaming blades rushing toward him.

Ah!

Xiao Ye was shockingly surprised and stumbled backward, but soon the horrifying scene vanished.

“How terrifying, could that be the Martial Arts True Intent?” Xiao Ye panted heavily, his robe soaked with cold sweat.

Though his experience was limited, he could guess that these intense flames and blade lights were related to the Martial Arts True Intent.

Xiao Ye’s gaze fell on the long saber in his hand.

The blade shone aqua, about one meter and twenty long, it was a massive battle saber.

The ancient style and the domineering blade cleverly merged, extremely eye-catching.

From the first glance, Xiao Ye had taken a deep liking to this long saber.

He raised the saber and lightly waved it, the razor-sharp blade cleaving through the air.

“Such a fine saber,” Xiao Ye said excitedly, “From now on, you’ll follow me.”

Xiao Ye’s eyes moved and he noticed an ancient character “炎” (Flame) on the hilt of the saber.

“From now on, I’ll call you Flame Saber,” Xiao Ye, holding the long saber, couldn’t bear to let go.

Soon, Xiao Ye didn’t study the Flame Saber anymore.

“It’s not time to be happy yet.

It won’t be long before the Blood Wolf Gang finds this place, I must leave Green Sun Town,” Xiao Ye pondered.

But soon, he furrowed his brows, he had never left Green Sun Town since he was young, where could he go after leaving?

“Right.” Suddenly, Xiao Ye had a flash of inspiration and took out the Black Dragon Country Compendium from his bosom.

This compendium, written by a fallen Innate Martial Artist, contained varied and abundant content, maybe he could find some answers inside.

Soon, Xiao Ye’s eyes lit up, deeply attracted by the content inscribed within.

“Unexpectedly, the Black Dragon Country has so many powerful forces, what an exciting place the vast True Spirit Continent must be?” Xiao Ye yearned in his heart, a seed to explore the True Spirit Continent planted within him.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed, focusing on a specific location.

“Wutan City, only a hundred miles away from Green Sun Town, and it even has a Blood Cleansing Pool!”

Xiao Ye’s eyes shone.

According to the Black Dragon Country Compendium, the Blood Cleansing Pool was a miraculous place nurtured by Heaven and Earth, its waters laden with pure energy, capable of helping Postnatal Martial Artists refine their True Qi.

“Let’s head to Wutan City!” Although Xiao Ye knew entering such a miraculous site like the Blood Cleansing Pool would be fraught with difficulties, he still made up his mind.

As soon as he thought it, Xiao Ye gripped the Flame Saber and entered the mountain path, groping his way outward along the path.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ye had emerged from the path, the dazzling sunlight hitting his face.

“The boy’s footsteps headed toward Fierce Beast Forest, we definitely can’t let him escape!” Suddenly, a furious shout came from a distance.

Xiao Ye dashed out, hiding behind a large tree, and quietly looked toward the distance.

He saw a group of ten people, wielding shiny weapons, searching their way toward him.

“They arrived quite fast, they found this place so quickly.” Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed, revealing a cold light.

After a careful look, Xiao Ye noticed that among this group, five were Blood Wolf Guards, each with the Cultivation of Postnatal Realm Sixth Layer; he could at most handle three of them simultaneously.

Such a lineup was not something he could withstand.

“Hmph.” Xiao Ye sneered, ready to give up, when suddenly, he noticed the Golden Barbarian Bear he had driven away was slowly approaching from behind the group, seemingly unaware of the Blood Wolf Gang members.

“There it is!” Xiao Ye revealed a joyful expression, “Big guy, this time I’m going to use you.”

Xiao Ye picked up a stone and, channeling his True Qi, flicked it.

Swoosh!

The stone shot out, passed over the people from the Blood Wolf Gang, and fiercely struck the Golden Barbarian Bear’s forehead.

Roar!

The Golden Barbarian Bear looked up angrily, just in time to turn its head toward the Blood Wolf Gang members, its not-so-bright mind believed that these people were provoking it.

Being humiliated by Xiao Ye before 곰, it could no longer hold back now and immediately charged at the members of the Blood Wolf Gang.
