Chapter 30: The Fish Slayer
Chapter 30: The Fish Slayer
"Tianxiong Executive, earlier today when I entered the city, I heard the sounds of firecrackers and gongs, as if someone was celebrating a wedding. I sent a Spirit Insect to follow and record the address."
One of the Black Mountain Sect's disciples, Liu Wei, spoke up with a fawning tone, "Tianxiong Executive, would you like some of us junior disciples to accompany you tonight to practice your Daoist arts?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Tianxiong revealed a satisfied smile. "Liu Wei, you're a smart one. I'll remember this. Tonight during cultivation, you'll be the first to taste the bride."
The crowd burst into laughter.
However, Chu Tianxiong's expression suddenly turned fierce as he thought of something. "That Qi Yuan from Seven-Colored Peak was way too arrogant today! If he didn't have a good master, I would have taught him what bloodlight calamity and hell on earth truly mean!"
Another disciple spoke up, "Tianxiong Executive, I heard that Qi Yuan has some issues with his head. Senior Brother, why bother with a fool? Once we unify the cultivation world of Great Shang, you can deal with him however you please."
As night fell, a rhythmic knocking sound suddenly echoed from the main gate.
The Black Mountain Sect disciples in the courtyard halted their conversations.
Chu Tianxiong looked towards the gate and said, "Liu Wei, go and see who it is."
Liu Wei stood up and made his way to the gate.
As the gate opened, a masked man appeared before the crowd.
The mask was simple, lacking any facial features, and was perfectly flat.
Liu Wei's eyes revealed a mocking expression as he saw the visitor, "What brings you here?"
The masked man took out a kitchen knife and slowly spoke, his voice hoarse, "I'm a bit hungry and plan to kill some fish to eat."
"Is he a fool?" Liu Wei was taken aback.
Chu Tianxiong, noticing the situation at the gate, called out, "There are fish in the pond, let him in."
Liu Wei smiled, "Tianxiong Executive is kind. I'll give you a fish as a reward."
From inside the courtyard, someone asked, "Tianxiong Executive, why did you let him in?"
Chu Tianxiong replied, "It's boring here. I'm looking for some entertainment. He seems crazy, but his skin... is quite fair."
They were fearless and confident in their abilities, not expecting any trouble they couldn't handle.
Moreover, they didn't sense any dangerous aura from the masked man.
The masked man, with his kitchen knife, entered the courtyard.
As Baiji Laozu cultivated in the inner courtyard, the others looked at the masked man with mocking expressions.
When the masked man approached, Chu Tianxiong suddenly stopped him, "Remove your mask and let me see your face."
The masked man paused, then after a long while, he hesitantly spoke, "Do you really want to see it?"
"Haha, why not? Are you afraid I'll see an ugly face?"
"If you're ugly, I'll give you a new face!"
The Black Mountain Sect disciples burst into laughter, their faces illuminated by the moonlight, looking sinister.
The masked man sighed, "Before I put on this mask today, I said that anyone who sees my face won't have a good outcome."
"What kind of bad outcome?" Chu Tianxiong asked curiously.
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.
The masked man raised the kitchen knife, and in a flash of white light, the crowd had no time to react.
Chu Tianxiong's large head fell to the ground, his face still bearing the previous smile, frozen in that instant.
Everyone in the courtyard was shocked.
The incident had happened too quickly and unexpectedly.
The masked man looked at Chu Tianxiong's severed head, deep in thought, and said, "It seems your bloodlight calamity was meant to be brought by me. Meeting me is your tribulation.
If there's a next life, I suggest you reincarnate as an ant. I'm kind-hearted and never use hot water to scald ant nests."
The other disciples were dumbfounded, furious, and shocked.
"Tian Xiong Executive!"
"How dare you!"
"Scoundrel!"
Although these disciples were terrified, they quickly reacted and attacked the masked figure.
Seeing this, the masked figure's eyes revealed a relaxed smile, "The monsters in games don't have health bars, and neither do you. What's the difference between you and them?"
"Oh, wait, there is a difference."
"You all scream in pain, I don't even need to do the voice acting myself."
"Indeed, my talents are indeed useful, all of you will know pain!"
"It rhymes, I'm truly a genius!"
At this moment, the crowd was filled with confusion, doubt, fear, and raging anger.
Holding the cabbage knife, he moved like the most graceful dancer.
The knife rose and fell.
Summer Eight Cuts.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Ah!"
"Run!"
"Who are you?"
In the blink of an eye, most of the Black Mountain Sect disciples present had perished.
Only three or four people remained, shivering in fear.
Just then, a voice filled with anger and panic came from the inner courtyard.
"You insolent dog!"
The Chicken Worshipping Ancestor, who had been cultivating, finally woke up and took action.
Seeing this, the remaining Black Mountain Sect disciples revealed expressions of relief, having narrowly escaped death.
Although the masked figure before them was terrifying, he was definitely not an Essence Core Cultivator!
With a roar from the Chicken Worshipping Ancestor, a core light rushed towards the masked figure.
Seeing this, the masked figure held up the cabbage knife and roared, "Heaven Cleaving Sword Technique!"
This was the first time he had used this powerful skill in reality!
With a leap, moonlight showered down upon his white robe.
The outline of his body emitted a faint white light.
His entire figure appeared incredibly ethereal, with only the outlined parts looking solid.
In the Chicken Worshipping Ancestor's line of sight, it was as if a cabbage knife was slicing through the moon.
An unimaginable, surging blade light directly rushed towards the Chicken Worshipping Ancestor.
For some reason, the Chicken Worshipping Ancestor showed a look of fear.
After all, he was an Essence Core Cultivator.
The masked figure was definitely not at the Essence Core stage.
The blade light destroyed everything in its path, instantly submerging the Chicken Worshipping Ancestor's core light.
In the next instant, the blade light cut through, slicing apart the protective core light of the Chicken Worshipping Ancestor.
The once mighty Chicken Worshipping Ancestor was instantly killed by a single strike.
The round golden core shattered into countless pieces, its surface riddled with holes.
The masked figure paused, "Is that it?"
He knew he would win, but he didn't expect it to be this easy.
Perhaps, he was too powerful.
Perhaps, his knife was also exceptional.
Or perhaps...
Looking at the tiny golden core on the ground, he commented, "His golden core is too small, and his core light is weak. It couldn't even withstand a single strike of mine.
It seems that when forming a core in the future, I should form a larger golden core, and the core light should be more abundant too."
As the masked figure spoke, he looked up at the moon in the sky.
"At least, the core light should be as abundant as the moonlight, right?"
At this moment, the remaining three or four disciples were trembling, some even fleeing.
The masked figure recited, "I'm a patriot, I love killing entire families!"
With that, he slashed with his knife, killing the few remaining disciples.
The masked figure looked at the corpses on the ground and slowly walked towards the pond.
"I should catch a fish to bring back."
As he spoke, he rolled up his pants, washed the cabbage knife clean at the pond's edge, and caught a black carp.
