Chapter 487: Chapter 487: If there is to be a battle, then so be it
Jiang Xiaobai had no idea that someone was watching him. Instead, he was wondering, what’s going on with Zijing Pavilion?
Did the other party say they were interested in him and wanted to befriend him?
Did they mean befriend in the literal sense?
Meanwhile, Lin Zi started to speak. She looked at the hundred or so beautiful young women in front of her with a solemn expression, reciting the rules of Zijing Pavilion.
The most important rule was that after they joined Zijing Pavilion, they might not be able to interact with men for a long time.
This was very weird!
Even a women’s sect is not this extreme, right?
The other peculiar rules are all centered around this rule it seemed.
Jiang Xiaobai realized that the reason Zijing Pavilion did this was to give these women a last chance to enjoy the admiring gazes of men.
What awaited them afterwards would be a long period of tedious cultivation.
But the men who were watching didn’t care about any of this. They were just watching!
“This Zijing Pavilion is really strange, is it due to some cultivation method problem?” Mo Yu asked, somewhat puzzled by the situation.
AnRan laughed beside him: “Well, who cares? As long as we can watch, that’s enough.”
Mo Yu rolled her eyes at him.
But looking at AnRan like this, she suddenly thought of her adopted little brother.
“I wonder how Feng is doing and where he is now?” Mo Yu murmured to herself.
After some time, the grand opening ceremony of Zijing Pavilion finally came to an end. Under Lin Zi’s guidance, many women began to enter the gate of Zijing Pavilion Mountain.
The spectators left after feasting their eyes, sighing as they dispersed.
“Sis, why don’t you take me in for a looksee? Just a quick look or a few words is fine!” Ao Cheng joked, crowding beside Ao Yan.
Ao Yan merely gave him a glare and raised her hand slightly.
Ao Cheng retreated quickly, clutching his head, “Fine, I won’t look, but no need to get physical!”
“Jiang Xiaobai, let’s go. You’re not seriously thinking about going in, are you? Maybe all they wanted when they said they wanted to befriend you, was to make a fool out of you!”
Jiang Xiaobai shrugged, not bothered by it.
The main focus of his trip to Qingxuan City was to search for the mysterious gate. Coming to Zijing Pavilion was just on the way.
Now that he knew what Zijing Pavilion was all about, he didn’t have much interest in it.
Just as he was preparing to leave, a familiar chilling aura suddenly enveloped everyone.
Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes went wide as the Yuanhong appeared in his hand.
It’s that damn Saint City Tomb Keeper again!
As expected, the Creepy Dude who looked like a corpse appeared in front of Jiang Xiaobai
“Long time no see, Jiang Xiaobai.”
The Creepy Dude’s mouth curled up: “Hand over the stuff, and I won’t have to make a move.”
“Joke! Anything I get hold of isn’t so easy to spit out!”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed coldly over and over.
He may not have been able to beat the Creepy Dude before, but that’s not necessarily the case now.
His strength has increased significantly. With the Yuanhong, which had its three seals unlocked in his hand, he could even kill a peak cultivator of the Tribulation Phase. Why couldn’t he deal with the Creepy Dude?
He’s only at the Late Stage of Fusion!
“You bullied me once before, and now you want to do it again? Aren’t you overstepping your bounds?”
“In the old saying, ‘Meeting a person, after a lapse of three days, should be viewed with new eyes.’
“Do I look anything like I did before?”
Having said that, Jiang Xiaobai, holding the Yuanhong, rushed forward at high speed.
Last time, this jerk pulled him into a bizarre space and messed with him. This time, he was not afraid of him!
There was a faintly terrifying aura emanating from the Yuanhong.
Seeing this, the Creepy Dude’s expression changed dramatically.
He didn’t expect Jiang Xiaobai to have become so strong. How long has it been?
“Humph, you think you can be my opponent with a little trick?”
The Creepy Dude sneered, his expression just mildly serious.
The next moment, dark fog spread from him.
Countless black figures appeared, encircling Jiang Xiaobai and his companions.
“Humph, do you want to try that again?”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered and then in his hand, the Yuanhong slashed fiercely.
A sword light appeared before the two of them.
The sword light was as fast as a shooting star. In an instant, it pierced through the black fog, cutting all the black figures in half!
The fog also dissipated!
“Unexpected, isn’t it? Didn’t see my power level rising this fast, did you? This time, who will be the prey and who will be the predator is still uncertain!”
With a cold laugh, Jiang Xiaobai’s speed suddenly surged!
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Creepy Dude, his hand raised for a downwards sword slash.
But the Creepy Dude remained unfazed, not taking Jiang Xiaobai’s sword strike seriously at all.
Bang!
Something appeared in front of the Creepy Dude. Jiang Xiaobai only felt a violent vibration in his hand holding the Yuanhong, and his whole person flew backwards.
“What on earth is going on?” Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and stared at the Creepy Dude in front of him.
He was just a Late Stage fusion after all!
His sword could easily kill even an Initial Tribulation Phase, never mind a Late Stage Fusion!
“Hehe, Jiang Xiaobai, your strength has improved quite well, but do you know what a Saint City Tomb Keeper is?”
The Creepy Dude laughed loudly: “What I can do, is beyond your imagination!”
“Do you think that because you are a little stronger that you can escape me? Now, I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over the item and I’ll let you go this time. If not, prepare to die!”
Jiang Xiaobai stood still. Behind him, Ao Yan, Zhuang Huanling, and the others, all furrowed their brows and stared at the Creepy Dude coldly, ready to attack at any moment.
As for Jiang Xiaobai, he remained silent.
He felt that this guy was just too strange.
That kind of method, he had never heard of before.
“So, what will be your final decision? To fight or negotiate?”
The Creepy Dude sneered.
“Fuck your peppery spicy farts, negotiating with you, absolutely impossible.”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed, and a flower of swords bloomed from the YuanHong in his hand. Then he pointed it at the Creepy Dude: “If we’re going to fight, let’s get on with it. Where is all this talking coming from?”
The Creepy Dude’s expression grew colder, and then it twisted into a grimace.
“Very good. Since you are so determined to die, I will fulfill your wish today!”
After a furious roar, an endless black fog exploded from behind the Creepy Dude!
The black fog was filled with a cold atmosphere, just like death from a graveyard. In an instant, it blocked out the sky and turned the day into night.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t hesitate and directly slashed with his sword!
He knew that the Creepy Dude was certainly going to use that peculiar method to pull them into another place.
Once they were in there, it’d be tricky!
But when his sword went down, only a small amount of the black fog was dispersed.
Jiang Xiaobai was dumbstruck, and then he shouted: “Join forces, everyone attack together! We can’t let this fog engulf us!”
He was joking, once they were engulfed, it would be the end of the road!
That bizarre space was too terrifying. He could probably force his way out if he reached the Late Stage of Fusion, but he certainly couldn’t rely on his current strength alone!
Just as the black fog was about to swallow them all up, suddenly, a purple light appeared!
Boom!
The black fog that had blocked the sky behaved like a living thing, stopping its expansion and retreating quickly.
“Who is it!”
The Creepy Dude roared in anger.
