Chapter 177 The Martial World of the East China Sea Trembles!
Chapter 177 The Martial World of the East China Sea Trembles!
Xiao Bieli stopped not far from the 'Eastern Sea Straw-Clad Swordsman'. He looked at Deng Kai, the 'Eastern Sea Straw-Clad Swordsman', and said calmly:
"Do you know that this can easily cause misunderstandings?"
Deng Kai quickly cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Bieli and said:
"My friend, I mean you no harm!"
After saying this, Deng Kai showed a self-deprecating expression and said:
"I, 'The Straw-Cloaked Swordsman of the East Sea,' am somewhat well-known in the martial arts world of the East Sea. I believe I have some connections with all the first-rank martial artists in the East Sea."
"That's why I came to join in the fun."
"But after meeting you today, I realize that the martial arts world of the East Sea... is nothing special!"
"I, Deng Kai, am nothing!"
The aura emanating from this person is far too youthful; it's unclear whether he's possessed by some old monster or reincarnated.
He didn't think this person was someone he had cultivated to this level at his age.
Otherwise, it would be a hundred times, a thousand times more terrifying than an old monster possessing this body!
Xiao Bieli looked at the old man and said calmly:
"If I hadn't failed to detect any malice in you, do you think you would have survived until now?"
"I've heard of you. You're the only first-rank free spirit in the East China Sea martial arts world. You usually act as a peacemaker among the major forces in the East China Sea, and you're quite successful in the East China Sea martial arts world."
"However, ever since the conflict between the remnants of the Great Zhou and the Six Sages of the East Sea intensified, you have gone into hiding!"
"What's the reason that you've come out of seclusion this time?"
When he first arrived at Shenlong Island, he also asked Zhuo Muer to find out some news about the East China Sea.
The focus is naturally on the top-ranking masters in the martial arts world of the East China Sea.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Deng Kai's face, and he forced a dry laugh:
“I hid on a small island for several years, but during that time the Zhou family must have discovered my whereabouts and wanted to force me to take sides.”
"I have no choice but to leave that island and prepare to stay in the Central Plains for a few years."
Oh?
Xiao Bieli became somewhat interested and said indifferently:
"You're a first-rank expert. Even if the Zhou family wanted to win you over, they would definitely treat you with courtesy. Why are you running away?"
Deng Kai shook his head and said:
"The Zhou family is the former royal family and has always wanted to return to the Central Plains."
"If the Great Qian Dynasty weakens, they might have a chance."
"But now the Great Qian is at its zenith, and all the sects in the Central Plains are avoiding its sharp edge. Even the top forces of the three lineages of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism have not shown any signs of attacking the Great Qian. I'm afraid that if I get on the Zhou family's bandwagon, it will be difficult to escape unscathed!"
Xiao Bieli:
"I'm curious, where does the Zhou family get their confidence from?"
"Based on his ancestor who survived six tribulations?"
"Although the Great Zhou Dynasty has only been established for a little over a thousand years, I think it has far more top experts than the Zhou family."
Deng Kai smiled wryly:
"Although I have been to the Central Plains a few times, I am not really clear about the strength of the Great Qian Dynasty."
"As for the source of the Zhou family's confidence, I have no idea."
"If I knew even these core secrets, I wouldn't be on the Zhou family's side right now; I'd probably be dead by now!"
Xiao Bieli nodded:
"Just now I killed four Rank Ones on Shenlong Island, including that Martial God Zhou Yuan from the Zhou family... and two of the Six Saints of the East Sea."
"You've been in the East Sea for so long, you should be very clear about the situation in the East Sea martial arts world. Can you help me analyze how the Six Saints of the East Sea and the Zhou family will deal with me once the news gets out?"
what?
Deng Kai's heart tightened.
Two of the Six Sages of the East Sea died?
Martial God Zhou Yuan is dead too?
Who exactly is this person in front of me?
Xiao Bieli stepped forward and said calmly:
"Not in a hurry!"
"Come with me to Dragon Island first, and we'll analyze it once we get there!"
……
'The Central Plains master, Demon Blade Xiao Bieli, slays a dragon on Dragon Island, killing Zhou Yuan, the Martial God of the Zhou family, as well as Tan Tianci, the Lord of Dragon Island, Du Xuan, 'Always Covering the Sky,' and the White Phoenix Swordsman.'
In a few days,
The news spread from Shenlong Island and swept across the entire martial arts world of the East China Sea.
The martial arts world of the East Sea trembled!
Even the most notorious pirates became more discreet after hearing the news.
"This must be fake news, right?"
"The Six Saints of the East Sea are of one mind and have already reached the first rank in martial arts. The first rank is comparable to immortals and gods. We have never even heard of Xiao Bieli, the 'Demon Blade' from the Central Plains. How could he be so strong?"
"That's right, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Heh, if the people of the Central Plains martial arts world were really that strong, how could they turn a blind eye to the Zhou family's rampage in the East China Sea?"
"This is definitely fake news!"
Upon hearing this news, most people's first reaction was disbelief.
"Hehe... If my father hadn't gone to Dragon Head Mountain and attended Island Master Tan's birthday celebration... and hadn't personally witnessed the Demon Blade Xiao Bieli draw his sword and cleave Island Master Tan in two with a single strike, I wouldn't have believed it either, but that's the truth!"
"Um... I heard that even the three First-Rank experts, Island Master Tan and Swordsman Bai Feng, couldn't withstand a single strike from the Demon Blade Xiao Bieli?"
"Damn it, you guys are getting more and more ridiculous. Three Rank One cultivators can't withstand a single strike from Xiao Bieli, the Demon Blade? Why don't you say that even if Senior Bai, the Mad Blade of the East Sea, went there, he still wouldn't be able to withstand a single strike from Xiao Bieli?"
"..."
"It's true. Just now, Master Qi went to ask Island Master Chen. Island Master Chen is a third-rank Grandmaster. He personally witnessed Xiao Bieli split three first-rank experts in two with a single slash!"
As soon as this statement came out!
The whole audience was shocked!
"How can this be?"
"A first-rank expert is already the strongest in the world, how could they possibly kill three first-rank experts with a single strike?"
"Sigh... I can only say that even among the highest-grade, there are differences!"
"..."
Inside the White Bird Island Restaurant, which is only two days' journey from Shenlong Island.
The Beggar Clan elder Zuo Gonghu, Salt Clan third-rank expert Jiang Tao, and Yu Jinxiu sat at a table.
Hearing the words around him, Jiang Tao's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.
As one of the four grandmasters of the Salt Gang, and also an informant sent by the Great Zhou to the Salt Gang, he knew many secrets.
How did the people of Great Zhou manage to provoke that ancestor, Demon Blade Xiao Bieli, again?
Looking at all the forces in the Central Plains martial arts world, none of them who provoked Xiao Bieli had a good ending!
During this time, he had heard too many stories about Xiao Bieli.
Even though he knew that the Great Zhou was very strong, he still had no confidence in the face of the infamous reputation of the Demon Blade Xiao Bieli.
Zuo Gonghu looked at Yu Jinxiu and asked:
"Miss Yu, why is Xiao Bieli here overseas?"
Jiangshan Pavilion originally started out relying on intelligence. The Beggars' Sect and Jiangshan Pavilion are both among the six major sects, and their relationship is fairly good.
But he really didn't know why the Demon Blade had come overseas.
Yu Jinxiu shook her head and said:
"It seems that the imperial court came overseas to hunt down the Blood-Clad Tower masters."
"Xiao Bieli must have come to rescue people!"
"I don't know much about other things either."
Yu Jinxiu's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was filled with turbulent emotions.
Although it was expected that Xiao Bieli would cause some trouble after acting alone.
But now... this has become a huge fuss!
