Chapter 2255: Chapter 1203: The Strongest Below Half-step Nether Realm_2

“That Duan Jiqing is not easy to deal with; he has connections. His adoptive father, the Big House Master, has guided him often. Rumor has it that half a year ago, two Apostles of the same realm ambushed him, but he killed them both.”

“This person usually doesn’t like to show his face. No one can fathom his background, but I’ve heard that he privately claims to be the number one below the Half-step Nether Realm, and even boldly states that real Half-step Nether Realm Apostles might not be able to kill him.”

Elder Sun has no particular feelings towards Yang Xiao and doesn’t care about his life or death. But if he loses, he’ll have to withdraw the troops as promised, which would be troublesome.

Breaking a promise in front of so many people would lose both face and bottom line.

“I remember now; it seems that such a thing did happen.” Elder Mo Qing, realizing it slowly, felt a pause in his heart.

Sheng Yanlin, however, with both hands on the Wisdom Staff, looked straight ahead, steady as a mountain:

“I’ll make a bet with everyone here; after today’s battle, the title of number one below the Half-step Nether Realm that he self-proclaimed will have to change.”

“Not to mention below the Half-step Nether Realm, if my dear disciple is pushed, even the Half-step Nether Realm Apostles will be slain!”

“He can handle powerful figures from the Half-step Nether Realm? Just him?” Elder Sun, of Upper Ghost Level, considers his combat skills similar to Yang Xiao’s, but Sheng Yanlin’s words struck him hard.

If someone else said such things, he would think they’re mad, but since these words come from the old Dean, they are facts.

Sheng Yanlin’s insight into treasure and people is top-level. The only mistake he made was regarding his own younger brother.

And yet, that mistake almost cost him his entire future.

“Oh? We were indeed shortsighted. This young brother has such methods?” Iron Law Judge Liu Hanzheng showed slight surprise.

His Iron Ruler is sensitive to unusual spiritual power fluctuations, like special spiritual magical artifacts or curse techniques, but he detected nothing unusual in Yang Xiao.

In his eyes, Yang Xiao is just like any other Upper Ghost Level Apostle, just younger, which simply proves his talent and opportunity.

“That Duan Jiqing merely joined Bone Painting Tower and became the Big House Master’s adopted son, but my disciple is the young priest of the Esoteric Sect, and the golden token adoptive son of the Cannibal Buddha.” Sheng Yanlin mentioned Yang Xiao with an unconscious smile.

“Esoteric Priest, Cannibal Buddha?” His words caused an uproar at the scene, as only a very few people domestically knew about Yang Xiao being adopted by the Cannibal Buddha.

The Esoteric Sect is far away in Myanmar and Thailand, but anyone qualified in domestic circles knows about the notorious name of the Cannibal Buddha.

In martial arts world rumors, this person’s means and reputation are only slightly better than those of the Black Buddha Mother’s lineage, but not by much.

Saying ‘kill’ results in slain Netherworld Envoys, saying ‘rob’ results in stolen goods escorted by Chamber of Commerce experts; even the Commerce Association Chairman personally demanding them back hit a dead end.

This person is basically a symbol of lawlessness; even within the Yin Temple, the Yin Temple High Priest must show him some respect for the Cannibal Buddha.

This almost mythical figure surprisingly favored Yang Xiao, accepting him as his adoptive son, which immediately explained the confidence Sheng Yanlin displayed.

Such high-level figures don’t make mistakes in choosing people; Yang Xiao being chosen must mean he has extraordinary qualities.

For some reason, after Yang Xiao’s identity as the Cannibal Buddha’s adopted son was revealed, everyone suddenly felt more confident in Yang Xiao.

The Bone Painting Tower ranks among the Ten Great Sects, a top domestic force. Naturally, the Big House Master sitting in the Sect Master’s seat is also a top master; rumor has it he holds five Golden Corpses, all former Netherworld Envoys.

Years ago, merely two Golden Corpses moved to annihilate a first-class sect with Netherworld Envoys stationed overnight.

Yet even such top experts pale three points in front of the infamous Cannibal Buddha.

Back when the Black Buddha Mother’s first Three Demon Heads Great Joyful Red Lotus Buddha made the biggest commotion, a big figure from Qingming Sect bluntly said the most challenging demons to handle are those with Iron Body like the Great Joyful Red Lotus Buddha or the Esoteric Cannibal Buddha; these two have committed too much evil, doomed to suffer heavenly retribution sooner or later.

Soon after, the very figure who said that abruptly deleted his Moments post and reposted, explaining he was drunk that day and someone hacked his account; the original post wasn’t his, he was being framed, calling for restraint and world peace.

Just as Elder Sun and others were stunned, Yang Xiao’s battle had already started.

Yang Xiao didn’t care what background the guy had; all he knew was that he could trade the guy’s head for a Deputy Director position.

Just a Peak of Ghost Level, Yang Xiao didn’t wish to reveal too many cards for this guy; resolving the battle with the Ring-Headed Saber would be best.

Yang Xiao stomped the ground and charged towards Duan Jiqing first.

With massive spiritual power infusion, the Ring-Headed Saber emitted a piercing hum, echoing the battle’s prelude.

Upon face-off, Yang Xiao was relentless, delivering a chop towards the Master of Ruyi Sect’s face; should this blade land, it would split his head like a watermelon.

Yet Duan Jiqing didn’t panic, slowly raising the Jade Ruyi as if in slow motion, blocking his face and lightly knocking away Yang Xiao’s blade.

With the first attack failed, Yang Xiao quickly reversed the blade towards the opponent’s chest, but as before, the Jade Ruyi blocked yet again.
