Chapter 491: Utterly Shameless

Chapter 491: Utterly Shameless

Although the mist devils did not exactly have powerful defenses, like all other devilish beasts, they did not fear death. The storm around Xiang Shaoyun was terrifying, but they were strong enough to survive it.

With their claws, they destroyed the golden walls around Xiang Shaoyun, leaving numerous scars on his tough flesh. His blood poured out ceaselessly, torturing him with an intense pain. These claws were all poisonous as well. If it wasn’t for the silver lightning energy in his body, he would have been killed by now.

Under the extreme pain, Xiang Shaoyun’s murderous intent surged. In his anger, he utilized the third stance of the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, Skyslaying Slash.

The previous time Xiang Shaoyun had used this technique, he had suffered greatly. Even his foundations had been harmed. But he was no longer the same person. His flesh had been tempered by the devilish energy, and his strength had grown greatly. Thus, he was now able to use this technique without suffering the backlash.

With one slash, 81 silver lightning bolts rained down, working together with the murderous slash to exterminate all life in the area. One condition of using this technique successfully was to have true murderous intent.

The two times Xiang Shaoyun had used this technique had been when he was in crisis. For the sake of survival, his murderous intent was provoked, pushing him to kill all that would threaten his life.

The overbearing saber energy was not only powered by lightning energy, it was also powered by the human saber unity mode as it swept forward with the might of a second-stage Emperor.

After a series of thunderous explosions, the mist devils were all dead, leaving behind a rain of devil blood gently falling down to the world below. The Han Clan sisters were watching the battle under Meng Gansu’s protection, their faces filled with infatuation.

This was a young man with an outstanding talent, a dragon among men. A young man this extraordinary most definitely had countless admirers. It was no wonder he showed them no interest.

“Big sister, I-I…I have fallen for him. He’s so handsome!” Han Xuewei said, no longer able to hide her admiration.

This time, Han Qianwei did not discourage her. Instead, she reminded her, “If that is the case, you have to work harder in cultivation and become strong enough to stand beside him. Only then would you stand a chance of catching his eye.”

“I will work hard!” said Han Xuewei, her eyes resolute.

After killing all the mist devils, Xiang Shaoyun landed heavily on the ground and refined a drop of lightning liquid to quickly recover his strength. He could still feel some pain from energy overdraft, but the pain was much milder compared to the previous time he had used the technique.

Not bad, looks like my body is finally capable of withstanding this technique’s might, thought Xiang Shaoyun, relieved.

He feared that the same thing would repeat with his foundations harmed and energy exhausted, forcing him to another round of difficult recovery. Although he had also exhausted a large amount of energy this time, the exhaustion was within his limit. He only needed a day or two of rest and he would be as good as new. 

Currently, his body was laden with claw wounds, and he looked to be in terrible shape. The Han Clan sisters rushed to his side. Han Xuewei said with heartache, “Let me put on some bandages for you.”

She then started bandaging Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun initially wanted to reject her, but he was worried that he would hurt her feelings. Thus, he accepted her gesture. A faint fragrance drifted into his nostrils as Han Xuewei approached him. Her dainty fingers started running across his body, causing him to feel rather ticklish.

“Ohh, mhmmm…” Xiang Shaoyun couldn’t help moaning lightly.

The two women blushed.

Han Qianwei inwardly cursed, Shameless!

Of course, one couldn’t blame Xiang Shaoyun. He rarely had a chance to have such close contact with a woman, and with the combination of his excitement and the slight pain of having his wounds touched, it was understandable that he would react with a slight moan.

Further causing his blood to roil was Han Xuewei’s act of bowing down while bandaging him. Her fair and deep canyon was revealed to his eyes. Blood nearly sprayed out of his nose then and there. Who could blame him for moaning in such a situation?

Facing such temptation, this young master is still able to maintain a clarity of mind. I am truly a saint, lamented Xiang Shaoyun as he shut his eyes reluctantly.

It wasn’t that he had no interest in women, but his heart was once hurt deeply by one certain woman. Since then, he had been finding it hard to open up to another woman. Furthermore, he wanted to focus on cultivation and did not want to waste his time on romance. The sole exception was Yu Caidie.

When Han Xuewei saw Xiang Shaoyun shut his eyes, a cocky feeling rose in her heart at the discovery that this young man was not completely indifferent to the opposite sex.

I will definitely make you submit! declared Han Xuewei inwardly as she rubbed her plump chest against Xiang Shaoyun’s arm. The tender assault caused Xiang Shaoyun’s blood to boil.

“Alright, I’m all fine now. Thank you,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he jumped away from Han Xuewei. He was afraid that if Han Xuewei continued pushing it, he would lose control over himself.

“Hehe, we should be the ones thanking you,” said Han Xuewei with a smile.

Xiang Shaoyun took a deep breath and tossed all distracting thoughts out of his mind before saying, “Time to get going.”

“Don’t you want to take a short break?” Han Xuewei asked.

Xiang Shaoyun slapped his chest and said, “It’s just some Devil Emperors. There is no need for rest.”

Xiang Shaoyun found that the more battles he fought, the faster his energy circulation became. He believed that if this continued, he might be able to reach the peak of the seventh stage by the time he was done refining the devil flame seed.

In the remaining few months, he had to increase his cultivation. That way, he stood a higher chance of entering the Dragon Phoenix Academy. The group continued their journey, but they were again attacked by Devil Emperors before they got far.

This time, Xiang Shaoyun was forced to release his Nether Soul Domain and make use of his Imperial Nether Prison to defeat the Devil Emperors. The biggest reason he had the confidence to enter the third layer was due to the existence of his Nether Soul Domain. With the Nether Soul Domain, so long as he did not encounter any top-tier Emperors, he would be able to stay alive. But since he now had the two baggages by his side, he was forced to let Meng Gansu protect them.

Near the third layer’s entrance, Xiang Shaoyun found a certain herb growing at the cliff beside the entrance. The herb was emanating a thick devilish energy and shining brightly. It looked extremely conspicuous, and a large number of Devil Emperors were around it. There were also many Emperors of other races present as well, and all of them were focused on the same herb.

“Is th-this the legendary devil edge grass?” Meng Gansu cried out in alarm.

The devil edge grass was a mid-grade emperor medicine. Although it contained a large amount of devilish energy, it was extremely valuable. It was capable of strengthening the flesh and expanding the meridians when consumed. More importantly, it could also help one comprehend a secret offensive technique known as Devil Severing Edge.
