Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Swallowing the Blood Spirit Bead Whole

Translator: 549690339

Li Xiaobai patted his stomach and belched, petrifying everyone present.

“You… you actually ate it?”

Swallowing the Blood Spirit Bead whole, what kind of move was that!

Zhang Rui was scared out of his wits; the Blood Spirit Bead was a gift from an evil sect master and had been refined right in front of him, requiring the lives of over a thousand people to create.

As for its power, he knew it all too well. Even a medium-grade Spiritual Treasure couldn’t compare to the might of this single Blood Spirit Bead.

Once its Blood Qi was released, even cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage would hesitate to face its sharpness head-on, yet Li Xiaobai had just swallowed the bead whole, and nothing had happened to him.

How could this be possible!

“Hmm, it’s a bit fishy, not a great taste, but it’s quite filling,”

Li Xiaobai savored the experience and offered his serious critique.

A single Blood Spirit Bead could provide over ten thousand Contribution Points, and if he had a few more, wouldn’t he ascend to the heavens?

“Do you have any more of these beads?”

The crowd petrified once again.

Yin Susu looked on dumbfounded at everything unfolding before her; this man was too powerful, and she regretted not discovering his true nature sooner.

Having such a high-level expert as an ally could only benefit her Sect and have no drawbacks.

Fortunately, there was still the little girl Chu Xiaoxiao on her side. As long as she kept clinging to Li Xiaobai, there would always be a way to bring the two sides closer.

The eyes of the young man with the buzz cut twinkled with an eerie light, his thoughts unknown.

Ouyang Feng and the others let out a sigh of relief; the senior had made his move, this round was secured.

“Boss, six six six!”

“Boss, quickly take these guys down!”

Little loli Chu Xiaoxiao continuously cheered on, feeling exhilarated by Li Xiaobai’s performance.

It was as if she herself had consumed the Blood Spirit Bead.

“This young girl is in my hands; please stand still and don’t move. I am a True Disciple of the Tianwu Sect. If you are willing to let us go today, there will be a generous reward in the future!”

Zhang Rui’s face was pale; Chu Xiaoxiao was his only bargaining chip left.

“Hehe, no problem, I won’t move. You go ahead,”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently.

At the same time, his fingers quietly rested on the hilt of his sword.

Zhang Rui’s pupils contracted; the other party was going to kill!

He violently threw the little loli toward Li Xiaobai and then rapidly vanished from the spot with a few swift steps.

“You can’t escape.”

He caught the little loli with one hand and drew his longsword with the other.

“Nine Revolutions Undying Sword Intent!”

Willpower merged with the sword, a metallic clang resonated through the air, and a golden pressure swept over the entire area, undying and unyielding.

A massive golden sword projection appeared in the void, pointing toward the figures desperately fleeing.

Li Xiaobai felt his consciousness stretch out for a thousand miles, directly piercing into the brows of the retreating Tianwu Sect disciples.

Gentle breezes passed, and several Tianwu Sect disciples instantly became vacant in their gazes. Zhang Rui’s entire left arm was cleanly severed as he silently continued to flee.

So this is what Sword Intent feels like, Li Xiaobai realized, as the Sword Intent, shapeless and formless, could sever both spirit and flesh.

No wonder so many chose the path of the sword; this thing was indeed powerful!

“Boss, six six six, I knew you would save me!”

“Boss, you’re so strong, I want to be your follower!”

The little loli gazed at the slowly dissipating Sword Intent in the sky, her eyes filled with little stars.

Li Xiaobai’s show of strength had shattered her understanding; that move just now felt even stronger than her own master.

Yin Susu and the others were completely dumbfounded. Not only was his physical body unparalleled in strength, but his Sword Intent was also exquisitely mastered. Who was this senior expert?

Among the masters they knew, there seemed to be no one who fit the profile of this senior expert. Could it be some reclusive old monster playing in the mortal world?

“Hehe, just standard procedure,”

Li Xiaobai hadn’t expected his Sword Intent to be so powerful, but then again, it made sense, since it was a skill that had been upgraded several levels—its potency could well be imagined.

It was a pity that Zhang Rui had escaped.

Although he had cut off one of the opponent’s hands, such an injury could be completely healed with some Secret Techniques and Spiritual Medicine.

Approaching the Tianwu Sect disciples, he waved his hand, and they all had numb expressions with dull eyes.

The Sword Intent from earlier had struck right between their eyebrows, utterly destroying their sea of consciousness. These disciples had become fools, devoid of any intelligence.

“How do you all feel?”

Returning to Yin Susu and the others, Li Xiaobai asked.

“I knew the big shot would save me!” Chu Xiaoxiao exclaimed excitedly.

“Thank you for your assistance, senior. I failed to recognize a true master before, please forgive my earlier blindness,”

Yin Susu was limp and struggled to get up to offer a deep bow of thanks.

The others too were exceedingly grateful. If they hadn’t had a powerful individual among them, they might truly have met with disaster this time.

“There’s no need for that. Slaying demonic beasts and eliminating demons is within the duty of us cultivators,”

Li Xiaobai said gleefully, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

Just as Yin Susu was about to say something more, a Token at her waist suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

This was a Rescue Token given by a Tianwu Sect master before departure. Using this Token, nearby cultivators could receive a distress signal and rush to assist in a timely manner.

“Someone is in trouble, the location is to the northeast, it seems to be the treasure site I mentioned earlier,” Yin Susu said.

“Looks like the treasure site is fraught with danger,”

Li Xiaobai frowned at first but then appeared relieved. Danger was a good thing; it indicated the presence of Attribute Points, worth checking out!

“You all rest here, I will go to the treasure site for the rescue,”

“Big shot, let me go with you!”

The little girl immediately came forward.

“Xiaoxiao, stop fooling around. The senior is on an important mission and can’t take you along!” Yin Susu said harshly.

Chu Xiaoxiao clung tightly to Li Xiaobai’s leg, refusing to let go. She was convinced that as long as she followed the big shot, she would be able to eat her fill and drink heartily.

“That’s right, the mountain range is incredibly dangerous, I can’t keep taking you with me,”

“Besides, your fellow disciples are currently incapacitated and need someone to look after them here. If you were to leave them, what would happen if they encountered danger?” Li Xiaobai said with a furrowed brow. Along the way, the little girl hadn’t been of much help apart from digging out Demonic Beast inner cores.

Protecting her in a crisis was less efficient than him exploring the mountain range alone.

With his current defensive power, he was more than capable of traversing the mountain range with ease.

Seeing his point, Chu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to hold back. She couldn’t possibly leave her fellow disciples in danger.

“I understand, big shot, I will protect my fellow disciples!”

“Then wait here for rescue,”

With that, Li Xiaobai headed toward the direction of the rescue signal and left.

The Holy Demon Sect members were only temporarily weakened. After taking Elixirs and resting for a while, they would be able to fully recover, so Li Xiaobai wasn’t worried that Yin Susu and the others would face danger again.

…

At the same time,

In the jungle, a golden glow suddenly erupted from a small river stream, accompanied by a thunderous roar that pierced the sky.

The nearby disciples were all invigorated, their faces filled with greed.
