Chapter 43: Devil's Work

  Shen Xiang took out a long and large iron knife from his storage bag, and with a sudden leap, he flew to the top of a large tree dozens of feet away in the blink of an eye. He wildly swung the big knife in his hand, and a series of sword auras flashed out from the blade, transforming into green-colored sword energy that shot into the treetop. Only a few loud shouts were heard coming from inside, followed by a shower of bloody flesh and leaves falling from the tree.

  In the blink of an eye, several more people died. Shen Xiang, who was surrounded by a murderous aura, killed these few people and then flashed away to another tree. He directly released a burst of sword energy that covered his long knife, chopping down the tree. The five people on the tree had seen how formidable Shen Xiang was earlier, so they didn't dare confront him directly now and fled in panic.

  These people were all around the second or third layer of the Mortal Martial Realm, and whether it was speed or strength, they couldn't compare to Shen Xiang at all. In just an instant, their heads had all flown off their necks.

  "Everyone evacuate, he is a master of the Seventh Layer of the Mortal Martial Realm." A shout of surprise rang out, and many black-clad figures jumped down from the trees, fleeing in all directions.

  These black men didn't know who they were supposed to kill, only the person leading them knew, that is, the one who had just seen Shen Xiang's strength enter the Mortal Martial Realm Seventh Layer, and that person was also locked onto by Shen Xiang.

  Although he was in the forest, it did not affect Shen Xiang's speed. His lightness skill had reached a high level of proficiency, and he could use the tiny branches to jump and bounce, just a few flashes, his knife stabbed into the leader's body, but did not kill him, instead using the method taught by Bai Yuanyuan, he confused the leader's mind and asked some things from his mouth.

  "Who are you and why do you want to kill me?" Shen Xiang asked.

  The leader's eyes went dull and he replied: "We are from the Black Wind Gang. My father sent me here."

  "Who is your father?" Shen Xiang continued to ask.

  "The leader of the Black Wind Gang..."

  Shen Xiang slightly furrowed his brow, and with a slap of his palm on the man's crown, he killed him. Then, with light and swift footsteps, he chased after the black-clad men who were fleeing in all directions.

  A massive fire had broken out in the forest, intentionally set by Shen Xiang. As long as he sensed someone around him with his divine consciousness, he would punch in that direction and release countless Vermilion Bird Seal auras, transforming them into fire arrows that could kill several people at once.

  These three-layered Black Clothes Realm cultivators were as weak as ants in his eyes, not even worth a blow, let alone being in the sea of fire.

  In the mountains, thick smoke billowed, and every time a large tree fell, it was accompanied by a mournful cry. The mountains were like a scorching hell at this moment, and Shen Xiang was the master of this hell.

  More than half a time passed, the fire in the mountain forest went out, Shen Xiang was shrouded in a strong aura as he walked out from inside, more than 300 people did not have one who could escape, all died at his hands, this once again made his White Tiger Divine Skill even more refined.

  Shen Xiang's body had once been tempered in the Xianmo Pool, and he had laid a solid foundation for cultivating his Xianmo physique. His physical strength was terrifyingly powerful, and with such a strong body, he could cultivate even more powerful and dense true energy!

  "Hei Feng Gang! After the Wang City Martial Arts Conference is over, I'll go find you to settle the score. I must investigate who instructed you!"

  Shen Xiang sheathed the long sword stained with fresh blood, circulated his Taiji Divine Technique to retract that killing aura, then returned to the Imperial City.

  In the evening, Shen Hui returned to Dan Wang Ge, but saw Shen Tianhu here, which surprised him greatly.

  "Old man, how did you end up here? Your complexion is terrible, what happened?" Shen Xiang hastily walked over, grasped Shen Tianhu's wrist, and released his spiritual sense to examine his injuries. He saw that Shen Tianhu's dantian had ruptured, but the injury had already stabilized and was slowly recovering.

  Shen Xiang's face was expressionless, but the killing intent emanating from his body infected Shen Tianhu. At this time, Meng Bo and Shen Lu Zong also walked out, they felt that intense killing aura, and couldn't help but be shocked. This was a killing aura that could only be condensed by killing many people, they found it hard to imagine that someone as young as Shen Xiang had such a terrifying killing aura.

  "Old man, who hurt you?" Shen Xiang asked coldly.

  Shen Tianhu and Shen Xiang had only been apart for a few months, but he could feel that Shen Xiang had changed greatly, and his strength had also increased significantly, causing him to let out a long sigh: "Shen Fuhong!"

  Shen Furong was an elder of the Shen family and had been recruiting disciples from various martial arts schools. Upon hearing this name, Shen Xiang immediately knew what it was about.

  "Shen Furong wanted to stop Danwang Pavilion from opening, so he came to me and asked me to close it down. But I disagreed, then he beat me up on the grounds of disobeying his orders... my strength is no match for his..." Shen Tiantu's face was filled with anger.

  "Shen Lu Zong angrily said: 'This Shen Fu Rong, is simply lawless and unscrupulous. He was once a person not welcomed by the Shen family, now that other elders of the Shen family are gone, he does whatever he wants, truly a despicable guy.'"

  Shen Furen is back from those martial sects, his strength is at least around the 9th rank of Mortal Martial Realm, not something Shen Xiang and the others can handle now.

  Shen Xiang's fists were clenched tightly, he vowed to make Shen Fuhong pay the price!

  Shen Xiang's anger did not show on his face, but Shen Tianhu, Shen Lüzong and Meng Bo could clearly feel the overwhelming anger emanating from him, accompanied by a chilling murderous aura.

  "Your father's injury has stabilized, you don't have to worry." Meng Bo said, at this time he also knew Shen Xiang's extraordinariness, knowing that Shen Xiang would not be able to stay in this mundane world from now on, but would go to those great sects to develop.

  Shen Xiang nodded: "Thank you, Old Man Meng. Everyone should get ready now. The Dan Wang Pavilion might open in the next few days. The more people try to stop me, the more I want to open it."

  Shen Xiang left these words and departed from Dan Wang Ge, Shen Tianhu and others did not ask him where he was going.

  "Little one, I know you're furious right now. I have a method that can quickly enhance your strength and allow you to break through to the eighth level of Mortal Martial Realm!" White YuYu's icy voice came over.

  Shen Xiang's eyes lit up and he hastily asked: "Youyou sister, what method do you have?"

  He had just entered the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm, and if he wanted to enter the eighth level in a short period of time, it would be an extremely unrealistic thing, but Bai Youyou, this cold beauty, had a way.

  Bai Youyou said: "If you didn't have a body of both immortal and demon, I wouldn't have let you learn my demonic skills so quickly!"

  Devilish power! Shen Xiang learned from Su Mei Yao that Bai Youyou's devilish power was extremely terrifying and powerful, he had long wanted to learn it, but could only wait until after reaching the Mortal Martial Realm.

  "The benefits of my demonic cultivation are great, but the drawbacks also exist. However, the impact can be eliminated!" Bai Youyou transmitted her voice to him: "My demonic cultivation is called Devouring Demonic Cultivation, which allows me to devour other people's true energy, absorbing all the true energy from their body into mine, allowing me to obtain that person's full power."
