Chapter 2090: Chapter 2090: Evil Cultivator Ambush
Speeding through the air all the way.
Xiao Yi’s plan was to continue his training and to clear out evil cultivators along the way.
As for the retaliation from the Evil Lord Mansion, he expected it, but was not overly worried.
An hour later.
Xiao Yi stepped into the southern range and landed in a certain area.
"Great Nan Region." Xiao Yi muttered to himself, just about to subconsciously release Heaven and Earth Perception.
Boom...
An elemental blade suddenly shot up from below.
Xiao Yi tilted his head slightly, the blade barely missed his ear, not hurting him in the slightest.
Swish... Swish... Swish... Swish...
Figures soared into the air.
All of the figures were draped in black robes.
The wide black robes concealed their bodies and faces, but a sinister gaze was faintly visible through the gaps.
"Six Martial Arts Great Powers, one Supreme Realm."
Xiao Yi saw through the cultivation of these seven figures at a glance. The next second, his eyes turned cold.
On the chests of these seven black-robed figures was the emblem of an ’Evil Devouring Flower,’ the mark of the Evil Lord Mansion.
This meant these martial artists were evil cultivators.
"Hmm? Quite capable, aren’t you?" The leading Supreme Realm evil cultivator stared at Xiao Yi, a fierce glow flashing in his eyes.
The six surrounding people also stared at Xiao Yi, no, more accurately, were assessing him.
After a moment, the seven of them retracted their gazes and sneered.
"A black robe and a masked face, this outfit is somewhat similar to that monster Xiao Xun."
"However, how could that be?" The six people beside him mocked, "That monster killed the Young Master, and now he’s likely hiding somewhere, too afraid to show himself."
"Well, we were ordered to intercept anyway, and we can gain some benefits."
"Indeed, without orders from above, we can’t blatantly ambush passing martial artists."
"This time, it’s quite the opportunity."
The six sneered, their eyes all fixed on the white gloves inside Xiao Yi’s sleeve.
They could easily see that the white gloves were definitely a Holy Artifact, of significant value.
The leading evil cultivator looked at Xiao Yi, "Would you rather make it easy for yourself or suffer under our evil power? I think you know how to choose."
Xiao Yi squinted upon hearing this.
When this group of evil cultivators soared into the air, he felt something was off, so he hadn’t made a move, simply watching quietly.
Evil cultivators, though feared by ordinary martial artists, were despised by mainland martial artists and targets of the Eight Palaces, so they had to stay hidden.
On the surface, they lived low-key, with normal identities.
Their deployment was rare, usually in teams, unless elders or protectors acted alone.
Their actions were always with clear intent.
As far as he knew, the Evil Lord Mansion had strict hierarchies.
No evil cultivator would venture out to kill without orders, avoiding unnecessary trouble.
When they moved, it was either with a conspiracy or something outrageous.
Like the lure and slaughter of numerous martial artists in the Three Wind Region to form an evil formation.
Or the events in the Fire Teeth Territory and Six Dragon Territory.
Months ago, in the Eighteen Mansions Territory, they attempted to capture young talents from above the Central Region.
In short, evil cultivators either stayed put, or when they moved, it was with purpose, nothing insignificant.
At the very least, it was an order from a hall master to ambush large caravans, slaughter family martial artists, or even massacre cities.
Without significant profit, this group of evil cultivators would remain hidden in the shadows.
Xiao Yi, traveling alone, wondered how he could be inexplicably intercepted by these evil cultivators?
Listening to the current evil cultivator’s words, they were ordered to intercept? And looking for Xiao Xun, which meant Xiao Yi?
"You’re looking for Xiao Xun?" Xiao Yi asked indifferently.
The leading evil cultivator sneered disdainfully, "Why do you ask? You think you’re really the black-robed Xiao Xun?"
"Heh, since the black-robed Xiao Xun became famous, many martial artists adopted similar gear to scare others."
"However, you idiots don’t realize that from today, those actions mean you’re asking for death."
"Enough, stop rambling with an old man like me." The lead evil cultivator’s tone revealed impatience.
"Make it easy for yourself; save us the effort."
This group of evil cultivators had yet to make a move to avoid any losses.
After all, Xiao Yi had easily dodged their pre-arranged powerful ambush.
In their eyes, Xiao Yi was clearly a formidable martial artist. If they could kill him without effort and obtain the Holy Artifact, all the better.
"We give you five breaths to decide." The surrounding six evil cultivators were also impatient.
"You know very well, facing us of the Evil Lord Mansion, you have no chance to escape."
"Better to end it quickly than to resist and die horribly."
Xiao Yi said nothing, merely squinting in thought.
Five breaths later.
The seven evil cultivators’ intentions showed through, "Seems you want to make things difficult for yourself."
"Fine, attack, let him wail and perish under the power of evil."
Whoosh... The seven of them struck instantly.
Simultaneously, another swift sky-breaking sound was heard.
Xiao Yi merely flicked his finger lightly, unleashing six toxic blasts.
The six evil cultivators were pierced through their brows, perishing instantly.
Poisonous power even corroded the six corpses into a pool of blood, showering down from high above.
"Hmm? Such terrifying poison." The lead evil cultivator’s face changed instantly.
Xiao Yi fixed his gaze on the evil cultivator, "I spared your life because I have questions."
"Answer quickly, and I’ll make your death swift."
His indifferent words made the lead evil cultivator tremble.
"You, you, you... There’s only one black-robed martial artist with such terrifying poison methods, you, you... are the monster Xiao Xun?"
Indeed, they were ordered to intercept Xiao Xun, to kill a thousand wrong rather than let one go.
But they never expected to meet the black-robed Xiao Xun themselves.
After all, the black-robed Xiao Xun appeared and vanished mysteriously, how could their group be so unlucky in such a vast Central Region?
Yet the truth was, they indeed were that unlucky.
Swish...
Suddenly, the lead evil cultivator sent an evil blast soaring into the sky, spreading in all directions.
"Sending a signal?" Xiao Yi squinted. If he wanted to stop it, the evil signal would have no chance to be sent out.
But he let it be, watching coldly.
He wanted to see what these evil cultivators intended to do.
The lead evil cultivator shivered but was slightly shocked after sending the signal.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
In just a few minutes, four streams of light sped in from afar.
The newcomers were all evil cultivators.
"Three Peaks of Supreme, one Legendary Twenty Thousand Dao?" Xiao Yi squinted.
A mere ordinary Supreme Realm evil cultivator’s signal called such four strong figures?
"Elders, protectors." The lead evil cultivator’s face broke into joy instantly.
In his view, though he was spectacularly unlucky meeting the infamous black-robed Xiao Xun, the strong elders and protectors from the Evil Lord Mansion would ensure his safety.
"Black robe, Xiao Xun." The Legendary Twenty Thousand Dao evil cultivator also had a fierce look.
But he didn’t make a move; instead, he launched an evil blast into the sky with his hand.
The aura of the Evil Dao spread in all directions.
...
First release.
