Great Demon King

"You dare kill my octopus?"

Among the disciples watching behind True Person Zhe Hui, one disciple's eyes turned red, and he almost charged out.

It was Chen Tang, the Beast Taming Peak disciple who had generously released the One-Eyed Octopus earlier.

Chen Tang was tall and imposing but not handsome. With his Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was also a core disciple on Beast Taming Peak.

This One-Eyed Octopus was his prized possession, and he had long since tamed it.

He had released the One-Eyed Octopus intending to make this newly Qi Refining Xiao Bai look foolish.

The result...

He was the one who looked foolish, and he was the one who suffered the loss!

A cultivator who had just stepped into the world of cultivation, in the Early Qi Refining Realm, easily defeated a battle-hardened beast at Peak Qi Refining.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who could believe such a bizarre thing?

After much thought, the surging anger in his heart turned into reason. He crept up behind Zhe Hui with a cat-like step and whispered,

"Master, you have to compensate this disciple."

True Person Zhe Hui, who had intended to watch the show, also couldn't figure out what was happening.

Although this fierce beast survived by frightening and ambushing others, scaring away high-level fierce beasts to protect itself and stunning low-level Spirit Beasts to devour them,

It itself had cultivation close to Peak Qi Refining. With a body several zhang long, dealing with an Early Qi Refining cultivator should have been a crushing victory, shouldn't it?

Why did it turn out like this...

True Person Zhe Hui calculated carefully.

To defeat this One-Eyed Octopus, one needed sufficient mental resistance, sufficient Spiritual Pressure resistance, movement techniques that surpassed one's level, and sword techniques that surpassed one's level!

Was this the strength a Balanced Five Elements Qi Refining cultivator should possess?

Elder Yuhu took a Laborer as a companion; she could have mocked her.

Now, for some reason, she felt a bit jealous...

"Silence! Your beast nearly injured Junior Brother Xiao!"

In front of Xiao Bai, True Person Zhe Hui desperately tried to save face.

To one side, Wei Shanjun, shaped like a mountain of flesh, had a mix of emotions on his large face, which resembled a Rush Mat.

He finally saw Xiao Bai's Butcher's Sword Technique clearly!

The sword technique was ordinary, and the cultivation was only Qi Refining, but the sword intent was rare.

His movements were skilled, the force lines flowed smoothly, and the sword edge was precise... flawless, naturally formed, truly perfect.

Among the younger generation of disciples, he had only seen it in his Core Disciple, Lan Daozi.

Perhaps he had seen it, or perhaps, his own sword intent couldn't distinguish the superiority or inferiority of the two.

Sect Supervisor Qi Shan's face was cold; he didn't speak.

He even suspected that Ma Xianchao and Mr. Lun Wang were killed by Xiao Bai himself.

Princess Fei Yue tilted her delicate head.

From Xiao Bai's fight, she vaguely saw the body techniques her royal brothers often used. She had thought it was just some half-baked skill, but she didn't expect it to be quite formidable...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at her younger sister, Mu Yun, from afar.

A disciple teaching Martial Granduncle's techniques?

Mu Yun completely ignored Fei Yue's gaze, staring at Xiao Bai for a long time, unable to speak.

Last night, you were actually serious!

This is what you meant by learning just the basics?

After only seeing it once, you've mastered a body technique that even I'm not proficient in?

Some of the movements you're doing are completely different from how I taught them...

Mu Yun had to sigh with emotion. Yu Hu's Demoness was too lucky; she naturally attracted geniuses!

The disciples watching from the outer edge of the plaza were dumbfounded, their thoughts similar to Mu Yun's.

This kid actually conquered the Elders with his strength!

Qi Refining might be fast, but sword techniques and body techniques are absolutely impossible to master quickly.

It seems Elder Yu Hu didn't lower her status but saw an uncut jade among the crowd.

After all, One Sword Fox back then was a woman; it was only natural for the Elders to be indifferent to her.

Today's Xiao Bai is handsome, possesses such sword techniques and body techniques at this age, and who knows what secrets he might be hiding.

Taking him as a Dao Companion is only human nature.

Envy, jealousy, hatred—only envy remained, replaced by curiosity.

On the Flame Platform, the fire of envy burned fiercely, and the pulp of curiosity bubbled and surged.

Master Chun Xiao clapped his hands, tapping his flute against them, and looked around at the expressions of the Elders. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Sect Master's Order he had issued earlier, forcing the Elders to attend this Sect Tour Ceremony, had caused quite a bit of resentment among them.

Now, Xiao Bai had finally vindicated him.

Thinking of this, Master Chun Xiao's aura also became more imposing. He clasped his hands behind his back and mused,

"As I said long ago, Junior Brother Xiao is a Sword Dao Genius."

The entire audience was silent.

Only Wei Shanjun let out a cold snort.

Coming from a man shaped like a mountain of flesh, the effect of his cold snort was comparable to a hippopotamus snorting.

After thirty years, another Sword Dao Genius had been ruined by Yu Hu!

Learning the Butcher's Sword Technique from Yu Hu, and the Xiahou Body Technique from Mu Yun...

Wei Shanjun's heart bled.

In his eyes, these were simply low-level techniques, completely unworthy of Xiao Bai's talent.

A single cold snort drew everyone's attention.

It also drew Xiao Bai's gaze.

Facing this relentless instigator, Xiao Bai's face darkened. He asked respectfully, yet with a hint of annoyance:

"Does Senior Brother Wei have some opinion?"

Wei Shanjun suddenly bent down and asked Xiao Bai:

"Junior Brother Xiao, how is your talent in Medicine Techniques?"

Xiao Bai didn't understand the meaning, and considering his wife wasn't willing to teach him medical skills, he humbly said:

"I... have no talent in Medicine Techniques."

His large face, like a Rush Mat, suddenly split into a grin, which was quite eerie. Wei Shanjun feigned a sigh:

"Then staying on Hundred Herbs Peak is a waste of your talent. Although you are Junior Sister Yu Hu's Dao Companion, it's not impossible to come to my Sword Wielding Peak to learn swordsmanship. This way, you can serve the sect even better... Moreover, the treatment on Sword Wielding Peak is the best in the entire sect. What do you think, Junior Brother Xiao?"

Previously, Xiao Bai hadn't yet shed his Laborer mindset and didn't care about seniority.

Now, seeing that his wife Yu Hu's status among the Elders wasn't very high, and she didn't retaliate when insulted, he had to start caring about seniority.

If he really went to Sword Wielding Peak to learn swordsmanship and took Wei Shanjun as his Master, it would be equivalent to lowering his own seniority, and his wife's seniority would also be lowered along with his.

He couldn't tolerate this!

"Thank you for your kind offer, Senior Brother Wei. I will visit Sword Wielding Peak when I have time."

His words were both forceful and appropriate.

Wei Shanjun, however, didn't care at all.

"Although the Butcher's Sword Technique is profound, it ultimately cannot reach the refined halls of the Sword Dao... Junior Brother Xiao, besides the Butcher's Sword Technique, do you know any other sword techniques?"

The Butcher's Sword Technique cannot reach the refined halls?

Can your physique reach the refined halls of a sword cultivator?

Xiao Bai always felt that this Sword-Wielding Elder was also at odds with his wife Yu Hu.

"For me, practicing swordsmanship is just a hobby. The Butcher's Sword Technique is already enough; I don't need to cultivate other sword techniques."

"The Butcher's Sword Technique is already enough?"

Wei Shanjun laughed heartily, like an earthquake.

"Seeing only a leaf and missing the mountain is a great taboo for sword cultivators. The premise of 'one sword breaks all techniques' is that you have mastered all techniques."

What the hell is "one sword breaks all techniques"...

Before Xiao Bai could even retort, Wei Shanjun called out to his Core Disciple behind him:

"Lan Daozi, come and ask Martial Granduncle for a few pointers. Let's see if his Butcher's Sword Technique can truly break all techniques?"

Before his words fell, a young man wearing a green robe, not tall, with gentle and innocent features, somewhat like a shota, excitedly rushed out from the crowd.

There were some sesame crumbs stuck to the corner of his mouth, and he had a flatbread tucked into his arms.

He excitedly cupped his hands towards Xiao Bai:

"—Martial Granduncle, please give me some pointers!"

Give you pointers on what, a ghost!

Xiao Bai's face turned black, and he cursed inwardly.

This young disciple, shorter than him and looking like a shota, was precisely the...

Great Demon King of the Snow Flame Sect's Sword Dao lineage.
