Reincarnation Paradise

Su Xiao stood up on the wall and unsheathed his sword, realising that he couldn\'t let these two resentful servants continue quarrelling or even fighting, as it might attract more of them.

"I\'ll kill you!"

One of the resentful servants was already enraged to the limit, unable to control his emotions.

"What are you doing..."

The other resentful servant, relatively calm, suddenly felt a breeze above his head.

Swoosh!

A bright flash of the blade passed by, beheading the infuriated, resentful servant. The expression on his face remained one of anger.

Blood sprayed onto the face of the other resentful servant, causing him to pause for a moment before he could shout.

Sizzle~

The sound of a retracting metal wire was heard as it coiled around the throat of the resentful servant, preventing him from shouting.

Su Xiao rushed forward, his speed astonishingly fast, and delivered a quick slash. The speed of the slash was so incredible that the resentful servant had no time to react.

Clang!

The dragon-slaying flash emitted a soft hum, leaving the resentful servant standing still with a bloodline across his face. His head had been sliced in two.

Su Xiao looked at the dragon-slaying flash in his hand, puzzled by the previous slash. He had only intended to make a quick side slash, but the speed of that slash was unbelievably fast, even surprising himself. It was a spontaneous motion.

"What just happened?"

He attempted a few more slashes, but the incredible speed from earlier did not reappear.

In that brief moment, Su Xiao\'s skill "Master of Swordsmanship" at level 30 emitted a golden light, but he had not noticed it himself.

Although he hadn\'t noticed the change in the "Master of Swordsmanship" skill, Su Xiao had a vague feeling that perhaps his swordsmanship ability was more than what it appeared to be. Just that one swift slash couldn\'t be explained by his current understanding of the skill.

Just with the speed of that last slash, if he had used it against Di Luo Mu Duo, the result might have been fatal even if the opponent didn\'t die.

...

The bodies of the two resentful servants lay on the ground, their blood staining the nearby area. Su Xiao didn\'t bother to dispose of the corpses, as the smell of blood had already spread. This was why he had refrained from engaging in combat until now.

Now that he had made a move, his original plan of sneaking into the temple had to change. It became the "Su Infiltration Method," which essentially meant killing his way in.

When he had encountered the bone-spiked rats earlier, Su Xiao had felt that a secret infiltration into the Temple was unlikely, so he had prepared in advance.

Su Xiao focused his mind, and a few seconds later, a loud explosion came from the direction of the main entrance of the Luan Cave Temple.

Boom!

The flames soared at the main entrance of the Cave Temple, shattering the temple gate into pieces, and fireballs were scattered in all directions.

"Enemy attack!"

"Intruders!"

Several shouts rang out as Su Xiao stayed in the corner of a small courtyard within the temple, waiting in place.

The hurried footsteps approached, and Su Xiao opened a slit in the courtyard\'s door. He could see hundreds of resentful servants holding torches rushing toward the main entrance through the gap.

The flames were soaring at the main entrance, and ordinary alchemical bombs couldn\'t have caused such a large fire. But if gasoline bombs were used, it would be a different story.

Once the resentful servant reached the vicinity of the main entrance, they didn\'t spot any enemies. The fire at the main entrance was urgent, and it had already started to spread into the temple.

"Put out the fire quickly!"

The leader of the resentful servant had veins popping on his forehead. The Cave Temple was their territory now and couldn\'t be burned down.

If avenging the deaths of grudge creatures was a blood feud for Su Xiao, then setting fires was even more unforgivable, as it involved destroying the temple.

Su Xiao didn\'t care about any of this; his goal was simply to infiltrate the Luan Cave Temple. Whether the resentful servant was angry or not was irrelevant to him.

The fire had started to spread towards the Great King\'s Hall, and the ordinary people imprisoned inside were also escaping.

In less than two minutes, no single person was left in the iron cages near the courtyard. Some of the ordinary people were on the verge of collapse due to fear, but among them were those with stronger psychological resilience. When the first person escaped from the cage, within twenty seconds, there was not one person left inside.

This was a chance for escape, and those ordinary people, despite their fear, seized it. The situation in the temple had become increasingly chaotic.

Taking advantage of this chaos, Su Xiao left the small courtyard and entered the central and rear area of the Great King\'s Hall.

He moved swiftly along the edges of the Great King\'s Hall. Whenever he heard footsteps nearby, he immediately concealed himself. If he couldn\'t hide, he killed the witnesses.

A few minutes of fast progress brought Su Xiao to the spacious courtyard where he had seen the formation earlier. Along the edge of the courtyard, people were huddled in iron cages.

Su Xiao rushed to the cages and, with a swift swing of his sword, cut open the doors of several cages. In the astonished gazes of the ordinary people, he instantly disappeared into the empty courtyard.

He had taken advantage of the chaos in the temple to cause even more confusion. The ordinary people also noticed this opportunity for escape. Although they were terrified, some among them had better mental fortitude. When the first person escaped from the cage, within twenty seconds, no one was left inside.

Now, the situation has become even more favourable. The fire at the temple\'s main entrance had spread to the front of the Great King\'s Hall, and the ordinary people who had been imprisoned inside were also escaping.

In less than two minutes, the resentful servant spotted the four scattered escapees.

...

At the main entrance of the Luan Cave Temple, the leader of the resentful servant had an extremely grim expression. He appeared enraged, but in reality, he was fearful. He was currently in charge of the temple, as his master was still sleeping in the Eternal Life Pool.

"My lord, what should we do?"

A resentful servant rushed to the leader, his clothes mostly burnt.

The leader of the resentful servant looked like an angry wolf, his muscles tense.

"Don\'t panic. Most of you stay and put out the fire while a small group guards the passage from the Great King\'s Hall to the Hall of Law."

"What about the ones who escaped?"

"Don\'t worry about them; they can\'t escape the Cave Temple. Our top priority is to capture the intruders."

This leader of the resentful servant had formidable strength and quickly sensed the abnormal situation amid the chaos.

More than four hundred resentful servants were left behind to fight the fire, with over three hundred of them remaining. The remaining hundred or so followed him directly toward the Hall of Law.

The passage leads from the Great King\'s Hall to the Hall of Law.

Drip, drip.

Blood fell from the edge of the dragon-slaying flash as Su Xiao walked confidently through the well-lit corridor. Nearby, there were over a dozen resentful servant corpses.

Before this battle began, Su Xiao had a strange feeling, a kind of comprehension about his swordsmanship. His slashing speed had increased several times to a point where it was almost unbelievable, even to himself.

Su Xiao performed a few slashes, and a "blade net" appeared before him. This "blade net" was not composed of blade aura but simply the residual image left behind by his slashes. This incredible speed was not an attribute enhancement or equipment bonus but rather Su Xiao\'s own understanding of swordsmanship.

This lightning-fast slashing speed perfectly matched the sharpness of the dragon-slaying flash. The combined combat power of the two was not a simple addition of 1+1. Su Xiao\'s cumulative efforts over time were finally erupting today.
