Chapter 1260: Fighting Shang Xijiao
*Splash*
Shang Luohu and the four asura guardians were surprised when Zhang Fei emerged from the Blood Sea. They wanted to block him, but he immediately used the nine cloud steps and disappeared from their sight.
"Too fast!" The four asura guardians screamed simultaneously.
Zhang Fei’s speed also shocked Shang Luohu. "As expected, it wasn’t his original speed but a movement technique."
"A movement technique?"
"Yes." Shang Luohu nodded at them. "I didn’t believe it at first either, but I was sure that it was his movement technique after seeing it up close. His original speed was ridiculously fast, and his movement technique made his speed even faster."
"Do you know where he went, Empress?" Shang Beixuan asked.
"Yes." Shang Luohu nodded in response. "Shang Xiuluo and the female demon are in the Blood War City now, so I’m sure he went there to pick them up."
"Shall we chase after him?"
"No need." Shang Luohu then told them about Shang Zhanluo’s decision regarding Zhang Fei, including Shang Zhui’s conversation with Tian Shuixiang, which shocked them. "Furthermore, Xiuluo said that Zhang Xiaolong wants to temper his body in the Blood Sea, so I’m sure he will return soon."
"Can I try fighting him, Empress?" Shang Luohu frowned at Shang Xijiao. "Haha! Empress, I just want to test his fighting skills, okay? I won’t use all my strength against a junior like him, so you don’t have to worry about me harming him."
Shang Beixuan, Shang Nanzhui, and Shang Dongzhu also expressed the same wish as their friends, causing Shang Luohu to sigh softly. "Alright, the four of you can test Zhang Xiaolong’s abilities, but I strictly forbid you from using your full strength when fighting him; otherwise, he will sustain heavy injuries and possibly die. Do you guys understand?"
"Yes, Empress!" The four guardians answered in unison.
Shang Luohu did not immediately leave the Blood Sea, and they waited for Zhang Fei to return there.

[Master, Shang Luohu and the other four are waiting for you in the Blood Sea, and I think you can use this opportunity to fight them. After all, Tian Shuixiang already told you that Shang Zhanluo won’t make a move on you, so I don’t think those people will dare defy their emperor’s orders.]
’That’s true.’ Zhang Fei nodded in agreement. ’In recent times, I’ve only sparred with Jian Kuang and Zhuxian Sheng, so I need new sparring partners, and I’ll use them as my sparring partners.’
Zhang Fei did not immediately meet Tian Shuixiang and Nalan Wangzi, and he went to look at the shops in the Blood War City, which mostly sold war equipment and demon items. Unfortunately, none of the items caught his interest, so he went straight to them.
After the three met, Zhang Fei told Tian Shuixiang about the Asura Demon Bloodline Crystal Essence at the bottom of the Blood Sea. "Honestly, I wanted to obtain it to strengthen myself, but the Slaughter Blood Phantom refused my request. Instead, it wanted to give it to an asura demon, but it deemed no one worthy of it, including Shang Zhanluo."
"Then—"
"You don’t need to feel inferior, you know?" Zhang Fei stopped Tian Shuixiang. "Shang Zhanluo may be the current emperor and the demon god of your Asura Demon Race, but you are not inferior to him. I’ve convinced the Slaughter Blood Phantom to let you go there, and it will see if you are worthy of obtaining the Asura Demon Bloodline Crystal Essence. If you succeed in obtaining it, it will boost your strength significantly, and you will become stronger than the other asura demons. This way, your chances of becoming the next Asura Demon God will be wide open, and you can replace that guy in the future."
*Slap*
Nalan Wangzi slapped Tian Shuixiang on the back. "This kind of opportunity will not come twice, so you should not waste it. Since the Slaughter Blood Phantom deemed no one worthy of it, including Shang Zhanluo, then this is your best chance. Moreover, your situation will be much better if you succeed in reaching the demon god rank, and you can live more peacefully and safely with your wife."
"Alright, let’s go there."

Shang Luohu and the four asura guardians looked at Zhang Fei and the others as soon as they arrived at the Blood Sea, but they were shocked because the Slaughter Blood Phantom suddenly surfaced once again before taking Tian Shuixiang into the sea.
However, the Slaughter Blood Phantom didn’t take Zhang Fei with it, which confused Shang Luohu and the four asura guardians.
"Zhang Xiaolong." Zhang Fei turned to Shang Luohu. "Our guardians want to spar with you."
Zhang Fei wasn’t too surprised by that. "I have no problem with that, but my cultivation is far below theirs, so it wouldn’t be fair if we fought using our cultivation, right?"
"Yes." Shang Luohu nodded at Zhang Fei. "Don’t worry, they won’t be using their cultivation or full strength, and you guys will be fighting using your raw strength."
Zhang Fei nodded slightly before looking at the four guardians. "So, which one of you wants to fight me first?"
"Me." Shang Xijiao immediately stepped forward while clasping his six hands together. "I—Gah!"
Shang Xijiao hadn’t finished speaking when Zhang Fei had already attacked and knocked him several steps back, causing the jaws of the other three guardians to drop.
Shang Luohu also stood dumbfounded at her spot, and her eyes repeatedly blinked as she couldn’t see Zhang Fei’s movement. Moreover, Shang Xijiao’s physique was quite big and strong, and he could knock him back several steps with just one punch.
Unfortunately, none of them knew that Zhang Fei mastered eight body cultivation techniques, and the majority had already reached the max level, making his body and raw strength far above other cultivators.
Nalan Wangzi’s lips curled up seeing their expressions, but she didn’t say anything and walked to Shang Luohu’s side, standing there.
Shang Xijiao rubbed his stomach as he stared at Zhang Fei. "Your punch was really hard for a cultivator at your level, kid."
"My punch just now wasn’t even ten percent of my raw strength, senior." Shang Xijiao was stunned when she heard that, but Zhang Fei quickly stood in front of her and punched her in the stomach once again.
"Gah!" Unlike before, Zhang Fei’s second punch didn’t knock Shang Xijiao back, but it sent him flying quite a distance.
Shang Xijiao hurriedly stabilized himself, but Zhang Fei once again moved in front of him and delivered a barrage of punches, forcing him to cover his face and chest with his six hands.
’Shit! His punches got faster and stronger every time he hit me.’ Shang Xijiao tried to find an opening to counterattack, but Zhang Fei didn’t give him the chance to do so and used his absolute condition ability to further enhance his strength and speed. ’Damn it! If he keeps pushing me like this, Beixuan and the others will definitely laugh at me.’
Shang Xijiao immediately flew high into the sky to avoid him, but Zhang Fei swiftly chased after him. He did not loosen up his attack on the male asura demon; instead, he attacked him even faster and harder, causing bruises to start appearing all over his body.

Below, Shang Beixuan and the other two guardians looked up to watch their battle in the air, and they rubbed their eyes several times to make sure they were not seeing things wrong, as Zhang Fei continued to pressure Shang Xijiao.
Shang Luohu frowned deeply as he watched their fight, but then he turned to Nalan Wangzi. "How can your lover fight like that? His speed and raw strength are too ridiculous for a demon cultivator of his level. Shang Xijiao may not be the strongest, but he is still very strong, yet your lover can push him that far."
"Haha." Nalan Wangzi softly laughed. "You underestimate my lover too much, Empress Luohu. Shang Xijiao may be strong, but Jian Kuang is stronger than him, and my lover sparred with that sword maniac every day before. Not only him, but the speed demon, Su Shentian, is one of his sparring opponents, and you should know how fast his speed is, right?"
Shang Luohu was shocked when he heard that. "How did your lover know the sword maniac and the speed demon?"
"They met in the Forbidden Land, and they were attracted to my lover’s abilities; thus, they came to him and challenged him to a spar, and they sparred every day for over a month." Nalan Wangzi then looked up at the sky. "If my lover were serious, he could defeat Shang Xijiao quickly, but he didn’t want to hurt his pride, so he still held back."
Hearing that, Shang Luohu turned his gaze to the battle in the air, and he could see that Zhang Fei was indeed still holding himself back. ’This young demon is truly unbelievable!’
.
.
.
’Fuck!’ Shang Xijiao cursed inwardly as he still hadn’t managed to land a single blow on Zhang Fei; instead, his body was filled with the bruises of his attacks.
Shang Xijiao decided to use a little more strength, but Zhang Fei quickly teleported away, and a bloody red figure manifested behind him.
Shang Xijiao instantly froze as soon as he saw the bloody red figure behind Zhang Fei. ’What the hell! Could it be the manifestation of his killing intent and bloodlust?’
