"You are truly deserving of your title, Vicious Blood Fiend." Meng Hua clenched his right fist before relaxing them. The next second, new flesh started to appear from his wrist and connected themselves to his hand as they began healing, the entire process took less than 20 seconds before it healed completely.

  Meng Hua raised his head and looked at his opponent when noticed that the shoulder he had crushed previously had been healed back to normal by now.

  "Now that I've a taste of your famous Blood Pulse Meng myself, I'm afraid I can't let you go anymore. I'm sorry, but you are going to die by my hands today." Meng Hua spoke while not feeling apologetic in the least.

  "You? Take my life? Don't think too highly of yourself, old man." Xiao Xi Xing sneered coldly, his voice full of disdain. However, his mind was full on alert.

  'If this person here in front of me is really Meng Hua, then I'm in big trouble. He is an elder of one of the nine great sects. Although he was said to be reclusive and rarely appears in the outside world, every time he did, he always stirred up commotions. His cultivation was said to be rank six early stage, but what I felt clearly was rank five peak stage...'

  Xiao Xi Xing took a closer look at his opponent before pondering.

  'Either my information is exaggerated, or he was trying to make me let my guard down. Whether he is actually rank five early stage or not, it doesn't matter. It's not like I've never killed a rank six cultivator before.'

  Even after all that thoughts, Xiao Xi Xing still hasn't made his move. Although he has killed a rank six cultivator before, it was mainly due to him deploying underhanded tactics and cruel methods, killing many innocent people along the way. Even then, he still lost many Meng and suffered heavy injuries, barely keeping himself alive. Killing another rank six, he wasn't confident.

  "..."

  While Xiao Xi Xing was pondering deeply, Meng Hua kept his silence. The two prominent figures looked at each other cautiously while maintaining their silence for about 20 minutes. The crowd kept their distance and watched in anticipation. They subconsciously held their breath and secretly activated their movement Meng to flee in a moment's notice if something goes wrong. The inn was deadly silent.

  *sigh*

  "!!!"

  The crowd instantly turned to look at the source of the sound, it was Xiao Xi Xing. Many people instantly have their guard ups.

  Xiao Xi Xing sighed for a long while, his eyes closed, his face filled with sorrow. The blood mist that acted as a barrier previously began seeping back into his body, more specifically his abdomen.

  "hmp!" Xiao Xi Xing opened his eyes again, his face now ruthless and maniac. His eyes which were previously bright red turned crimson dark, boundless murderous intent flashing in them.

  Just looking at his eyes sent shivers down many people's spine. Most people in the inn found that they cannot move, or more specifically, their legs refused to move no matter how hard they tried while their hands worked perfectly fine. For some people, they merely felt out of breath and a bit scared. These are experienced people and most of them possessed rather high cultivation level, even then they can still not move.

  "So be it, let's fight till one of us dies if that's what you want. As for the rest of you, you only have yourself to blame." Xiao Xi Xing said loudly for everyone to hear.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  At first, the crowd was confused by what he said, but was later terrified by his next words.

  "Blood Light Dead Flash!"

  "!!?"

  "!!!"

  Meng Hua's body tensed up as some kind of glorious golden light envelope his body, the same goes for the two hooded figures.

  After finishing his words, bright red light flashed off his abdomen in a circle towards his surroundings in every direction.

  Everyone in the crowd closed their eyes tightly after seeing the blinding light. When they opened their eyes again, they noticed that they were looking at the ceiling. Some were confused while some panicked, they tried looking around nervously to inspect their surroundings.

  Most people 'lost' consciousness while some tried moving their body desperately but to no avail. The only thing they could move were their eyes.

  Before them lies rows of bodies standing still, blood gushing out of them like fountains.

  Lower halves of the body, to be exact. As for the upper halves, they were lying on the floor, dead. The few people who still have somewhat of a consciousness took in the sights before them with eyes wide opened. Never in their lives did they think they would see such a thing. Unfortunately, it was the last thing they could see as their consciousness began to slip away, leaving them in darkness for eternity.

  After the light subsided, what was left in the surrounding hundred meters radius area were all cut in half. Some people who luckily survived began to panic and caused a commotion, asking for help but to no avail.

  Despite having killed over a thousand people in a flash, Xiao Xi Xing's facial expression hasn't eased down in the slightest. In fact, his expression was even more stiff as looked at his opponent.

  Standing in opposite directions of Xiao Xi Xing with seven meters of distance between them were Meng Hua. His robe and hooded were gone as it slid down in the mids of the attack, the same goes for the two hooded figures in the corner. The two former hooded figures slowly walked up to Meng Hua and stood beside him.

  Xiao Xi Xing recognized them instantly the moment he saw them. Standing before him were three people, one man and two women.

  To his left was a gorgeous woman dressed in blue clothes, her skin as white as snow, her face fair like jade. She has an arrogant and cold expression on her face, her aura rank five peak stage. Her name was Meng Yun.

  To his right was another beauty, Yao Ming. She wore a green robe, a light smile on her face and a little blood on her lips. Her skin pink and tender, her face beautiful like a flower. Her aura, rank five middle stage.

  In the middle was a rather old middle aged man. His face fierce and full of wrinkles. He was tall and wore simple brown clothes with two golden armour shoulder pieces on his shoulder. On his hands were what looked like golden gauntlets which were made out of wines that intertwined with each other. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the gauntlets 'wriggle' on their own like they were alive.

  Xiao Xi Xing's heart instantly sank when he saw the pair of gauntlets, his heart sank even more when he noticed the state his opponents were in.

  He thought to himself:

  'To think my luck would be this bad, meeting three rank five cultivators in this remote area, one of them might be a rank six, even. Me insulting his daughters was one thing, the main reason is probably because of my massacre of the Beast Taming sect two months ago. They're either tracking me down or met with me by coincidence in chase of the Heavenly opportunity like me.'

  Xiao Xi Xing narrowed his eyes when he noticed the state his opponents were in. His heart sank even more when he inspected his core essence, his wounds from the last two months haven't completely healed yet.

  Meng Yun's clothes around her abdomen were cut, revealing her smooth white belly. Droplets of blood appeared out from seemingly nowhere on her smooth belly while the glorious golden light surrounding her body had dimmed, barely noticeable.

  To his right was Yao Ming, whose glorious golden light had faded away completely leaving her clothes torn and her slim waist and belly exposed. Unlike Meng Yun, there was a deep horizontal cut on her belly and blood was gushing out of it. Moments later, it stopped, when looking at it he found that there was a jade green light enveloping her belly, mending her wound.

  Xiao Xi Xing's face grew dark when he took a look at Meng Hua.

  Xiao Xi Xing's dark face could not compare to Meng Hua's face when he saw the state his precious daughters were in.

  Meng Hua himself was unscathed. He simply stood there like a statue with golden light shining around his body, his gauntlets wriggling about. His clothes were completely fine without any cut on them, not to mention his body. The only change was that the golden light had dimmed significantly, but it still shone brighter than Meng Yun's.

  'I'm in big trouble.'
