Chapter 291 - 291: You Can Kill! (2)
Although the giant axe he saw last time was also very fast, it was not to the extent that he could not see it clearly. This time, the sword light that flashed past was so fast that he could not see it clearly.
This caused Xiao Shi a lot of trouble. He felt that the killing move recorded in the Enlightenment Bead this time was even harder to comprehend than the last time. Moreover, because the Enlightenment Bead would shatter after reading it once, he could only recall the scene he saw in the Enlightenment Bead.
Fortunately, with Xiao Shi’s current memories, the entire scene seemed to be deeply engraved in his mind. After these few days of continuous comprehension, he had already realized that this lightning-fast sword technique contained a deep profundity.
The reason why he could not see clearly was not just because the sword was too fast. It was also because his attainments in sword techniques were not enough. Even if he saw it clearly, he would not be able to comprehend anything from it.
“Speaking of which, I’m indeed not good at sword techniques.” Xiao Shi shook his head. Although he had actually come into contact with many sword techniques when he was in the Qi Martial Realm, he had never cultivated other sword techniques after that. His sword technique was still in the Qi Martial realm.
This was clearly not enough for him to comprehend the sword in the Enlightenment Bead.
This made Xiao Shi think of the Gray Blood Sword Technique that had dropped previously. Although this sword technique was not the strongest in terms of power, the sword intent contained in it was comparable to other sword techniques of the same level. Perhaps cultivating this sword technique could make up for his shortcomings in sword techniques.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi immediately began to cultivate the Gray Blood Sword Technique.
It had to be said that this sword technique was indeed unique as an Earth-rank sword technique.
Xiao Shi had only cultivated for a moment and he had already deeply sensed the extraordinariness of this sword technique. It contained a deep understanding of sword techniques. If he could completely understand it, he believed that his sword technique would definitely advance by leaps and bounds and reach a higher level.
At that time, it would be very easy to comprehend the sword in the Enlightenment Bead.
However, just as Xiao Shi was focused on cultivating the Gray Blood Sword Technique, a voice came from outside. “Pang Qi, something happened to your subordinate.”
Xiao Shi immediately stopped cultivating. He went outside. The person who came to inform him was Miao Shiwu, but he should be called Miao Shiliu now. Apart from Miao Shiliu, a figure covered in blood was lying on the ground.
It was Ming Wu!
His entire body was covered in blood and was badly mangled. More than half of his bones had shattered, and a bloody hole had appeared in his chest. One could vaguely see his internal organs. Now, he was completely unconscious and only had half a breath left.
Xiao Shi also saw that someone had even set up a strange array formation in Ming Wu’s body.
“Who did it?” Xiao Shi asked in a low voice.
Miao Shiliu shook his head. “I’m not sure. Just now, he escaped to the Flame Bearer Division and fainted.”
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. He did not say a word. After picking up Ming Wu from the ground, he returned to his room. Miao Shiliu looked deeply at Xiao Shi. After leaving, he arrived at the residence of another Flame Bearer.
In this beautiful courtyard, a group of Flame Bearers gathered. When they saw Miao Shiliu, they looked over and asked. “How’s it going?”
“I gave him the person, but 1 didn’t see any anger on his face. 1 don’t think he will stand up for this subordinate. Can our plan… really work?” Miao Shiliu frowned.
Although they all had subordinates in Blazing Yin City, no one cared about the lives of these subordinates. If there were not enough benefits, even if their subordinates were killed, they would not stand up for them.
Miao Shiliu felt that Xiao Shi was afraid of those nobles as he had not provoked them previously. Now, it was even more impossible for him to go to the Crafty Formation Clan for a subordinate.
“Ordinary people will calculate the gains and losses before taking action, but with this person’s style of doing things, he definitely won’t be able to take this lying down.” Hong Liu, who had formulated this plan, looked like victory was in his grasp.
“You’ve seen it before. He won’t let go of those who have ill intentions towards him. His subordinate was injured to this extent, this is clearly a slap to his face. 1 don’t believe he can tolerate it!
“He’s a born demon! He has an extremely strong killing intent. No matter how afraid he is of the Crafty Formation Clan, he will still start a massacre because of this. It’s impossible for him to endure and not do anything.
“As long as he attacks the Crafty Formation Clan, he naturally becomes the saber in our hands.”
In Hong Liu’s original plan, he planned to be on good terms with Xiao Shi first. Then, through his characteristic of not being able to tolerate anything, he would guide Xiao Shi to oppose the Crafty Formation Clan step by step and become his saber to attack the Crafty Formation Clan.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shi did not interact with them at all. So he could only use another method. He provoked the enmity between Xiao Shi and the Crafty Formation Clan, and let Xiao Shi kill the people of the Crafty Formation Clan.
In this way, the other party was still the saber in his hand.
Xiao Shi looked at the dying Ming Wu in front of him. A cold glint appeared in his eyes. “As expected, they’re coming for me. You want me to be your sword?”
Hong Liu and the others’ conversation was clearly heard by him through the blood seal Xiao Shi had left on Miao Shiliu’s body..
