Chapter 983: Chapter 421: If You Want Revenge, I’ll Be Waiting Anytime! (Part 2)
Guang Ying stood motionless on the spot, while marks like those burned by terrifying flames erupted on his opponent’s body, flames and black smoke emerged.
Almost met death on the spot.
Fortunately, was saved by the referee.
On both sides of the mountain wall, spectators of the Martial Arts Competition marveled and felt that their eyes were feasting. The thirteenth Martial Arts Competition was undoubtedly a grand event.
Time slowly ticked to 6 p.m.
Finally, at dusk, as twilight faded, the first day’s battles in the Martial Arts Competition came to an end. The top thirty-two quickly emerged.
At the exit of Cloud Mountain Valley, one by one, figures gradually left.
Some headed straight to the resort next to the beach, where accommodations were officially provided for some foreign participants. Locals like Bai Xiao, however, intended to head toward the downtown area of East Sea City.
On the way to the parking lot.
Canaan and Si Yu, their eyes still held a trace of shock, as spectators, they witnessed firsthand the confrontation of top experts in the Secret Martial World.
Especially the battle between Bai Xiao and Ronan.
The Hall Master’s formidable strength and imposing stature, even in a venue like the Martial Arts Competition, displayed absolute dominance. In their view, Bai Xiao’s figure seemed to be gradually overlapping with those like Guang Ying and Sword Demon.
“The Hall Master’s strength is not inferior to anyone in the Martial Arts Competition!”
“The Martial Arts Hall joining the ranks of East Nine Gates is just around the corner!”
Si Yu, dressed in black, took a deep breath, muttering to himself.
Beside him, Canaan nodded, about to speak.
But behind them, a sudden, old and sinister voice sounded.
“Canaan, long time no see.”
Canaan’s advancing figure suddenly stiffened, her heart felt gripped tightly by a large hand. Goosebumps appeared all over her body, she turned her head swiftly, feeling as if facing a great enemy, looking toward the figure behind.
It was an old man about 1.8 meters tall, with white hair, wearing a fiery red combat suit, his waist slightly hunched, and breath old and depleted. However, his face didn’t grow kinder with age but rather more fierce and sinister. His eyes were like an eagle seeking prey, staring intently at Canaan.
Faintly revealing a hint of greed and covetousness.
“Holy Eagle Qu Yu!”
“What do you want to do?”
Canaan gritted her teeth and uttered the other’s name.
Her entire body’s strength instinctively surged, sensing danger.
“Hehe.”
“My first disciple and sixth disciple, both died at your hands.”
The red-haired old man was about to continue speaking but suddenly stopped.
He sniffed lightly toward Canaan a few times, his eyes slightly lit up.
“Seems like a forbidden aura?”
“Did your master’s Buddha Demon Heavenly Heart succeed!?”
Holy Eagle Qu Yu took a step forward as if wanting to get closer to confirm that alluring aura. Yet, he found he couldn’t take another step. A hand rested on his shoulder.
Qu Yu turned his head.
He was startled to see a cold, stern profile like a statue.
The eye sockets blocked the slanted sunset, appearing like dark-frame sunglasses.
Dragon Elephant Hall Master, Bai Xiao!
“Oh? What do you want to do to my subordinates?”
The low voice caused the ground to slightly vibrate with rubble.
Holy Eagle Qu Yu felt a massive force pressing against his shoulder, suppressing the entire earth along with him. His pupils suddenly shrank to the size of needlepoints, having witnessed the entire battle between Bai Xiao and Ronan earlier.
He asked himself, if he were young and at peak state, he might not fear Bai Xiao. But now, facing the unreached death barrier, Qi-Blood declining to this point…
If they were to fight, it might not be easy to say.
“Is Dragon Elephant Hall Master trying to shield his subordinates?”
“My two disciples…”
Holy Eagle Qu Yu’s thoughts turned, words were halfway spoken.
Only to be abruptly interrupted by Bai Xiao.
“Those two disciples of yours, I killed them.”
“If you seek revenge, you can come to me, I’m readily available.”
His cold face revealed a hint of a malicious smile.
“You…”
Holy Eagle Qu Yu squinted his eyes, just about to speak.
In the distance, several figures suddenly appeared, silently watching over here. The experts dispatched by the Martial Arts Association Headquarters to maintain order in the Martial Arts Competition.
Even peak powerhouses should best avoid recklessly tarnishing the face of the Martial Arts Association. After all, it is nominally the strongest force in the Secret Martial World.
Finally, Bai Xiao released the hand from Qu Yu’s shoulder.
He, along with Canaan and Si Yu, walked away without looking back. Their strong, tall backs grew farther away in the sunset, eventually disappearing from sight.
Holy Eagle Qu Yu, with a dark gaze, fixedly stared at the distant trio.
Only after more than a minute did he leave the area.
After he left, a loud rumble sounded, and the road and foundation in the surrounding area collapsed into a dust-laden pit. All of this was caused by Bai Xiao’s earlier gesture, suppressing the momentum.
…
Five minutes later.
On the way back to the Martial Arts Hall, Bai Xiao received bad news.
Someone forcefully intruded into the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall!
“Screech.”
The car stopped in the Martial Arts Hall’s internal parking lot.
Bai Xiao got out and the first thing he saw was Ghost Mask, whose black coat was showing signs of damage, evidently having fought with the enemy.
“What happened?”
Bai Xiao asked.
“Hall Master, someone entered the backyard of the Martial Arts Hall earlier, seemingly looking for something. But I happened to run into them, so we fought. Their strength is formidable, at least the level of a Transformation Realm Master, almost injuring me in just a few exchanges. Luckily Mr. Fang arrived, and together we managed to fend them off, but we couldn’t stop them, and they quickly left.”
Ghost Mask said, his face still pale like a corpse.
“Hmm?”
Bai Xiao slightly frowned, his Jade Mine Marrow and Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform were both kept in the hall’s backyard, could it be the person came for these treasures?
“By the way, where’s your mask?”
Bai Xiao looked at the rarely unmasked Ghost Mask and suddenly asked.
“It was snatched away by that person at the beginning of the fight.”
Ghost Mask answered truthfully.
“Oh?”
Bai Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Could it be for the Netherworld Mask? Or perhaps, the Mother of Masks?”
Five minutes later, the conference room.
Ghost Mask placed the mask in front of Bai Xiao’s desk.
Since that night, when Yao Qing found Bai Xiao, saying the Mother of Masks showed signs of change, he had kept it with him at all times in case of emergencies.
“Be vigilant tonight.”
“There is still the possibility of the intruder attempting another invasion.”
Bai Xiao’s gaze swept across everyone, he said.
He faintly felt that the intruder’s goal had not been achieved. Tonight, regardless of what the person came for, they would likely reveal themselves again. And Bai Xiao would personally wait to welcome this esteemed visitor.
At the same time.
In the suburbs of East Sea City, at a breeding base.
The figure who had just breached Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall was reporting to a superior.
“Sir, found it.”
“The mask is indeed within Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall.”
“The Dragon Elephant Hall Master must possess an original mask!”
In the next moment, the superior immediately replied.
“Stay put, wait for orders.”
“I’m heading over straight away!”
The figure in black suddenly felt a surge of joy.
His superior is one of the high-ranking members of the Evil Ghost Court, nicknamed Dark Star, who once single-handedly caused chaos in the Luca Kingdom and disrupted the entire Secret Martial World. This time, summoned back by Evil Ghost Court to search for the third seat’s original mask, if he achieves merit, it will surely be a tremendous achievement!
And as the discoverer, he naturally can reap the benefits.
“With Dark Star in action, there has never been failure!”
The black-clad figure, once stationed in the Luca Kingdom alongside Dark Star, witnessed Dark Star’s overwhelming power and formidable strength, unmatched in the Secret Martial World across the kingdom. In his eyes, Dark Star wouldn’t be inferior to the likes of the Ghostly Saint Knight; his prowess is unfathomable.
“Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall is going to be flooded with blood…”
…
11 PM.
Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall, Meditation Dojo.
Bai Xiao sat cross-legged, his state optimally adjusted.
In front of him, two ancient-looking secret manuals quietly lay.
“Elephant King Breathing”
“Shura Record”
Additionally, there was a terrifying mask placed beside.
“Whoever wants to bite…”
He slowly opened his eyes, casually picked up one of the secret manuals.
Started flipping through with a rustle.
In an instant, the cultivation technique was refined.
