Supreme Demon God

Chapter 298: Isn’t It Good to be Alive?

Close to the entrance of the village Gourd Village was a small house of a family.

The family members were cultivating with all their might, greedily absorbing the rich Spiritual Energy around them.

Out of blue, a powerful breath quickly approached.

With a "bang", the door was kicked open.

Several members of the family were alarmed. Although they did not know who came, they all knew that it was not a good thing, and they also knew that they were probably here to kill them, so they rushed out of the house and gathered together in an attempt to resist the attacking enemy. 

"Huh? Not here?" The intruder frowned.

"Who?" One of the family members asked.

The person who broke in didn't even bother to answer, and with a wave of his hand, a sharp blade of light slashed out in an instant.

"Puff, puff"

With blood splattering, under the huge power gap, this family had no resistance at all.

The same thing happened not only in this household, but many other households in Gourd Village also suffered from this catastrophe for no reason.

Although Mo Xiu was cultivating, he realized what had happened instantly.

The people in Gourd Village didn't know the people who broke in, but Mo Xiu wouldn't fail to know them, because those people were the people who had been thrown away by him and Ming Huang before.

Mo Xiu did not expect that these people could still find the Gourd Village, which made him a little surprised.

However, as the former Everlasting Demon King, he didn't care about a few lives. These people in Gourd Village were not his people, so he wouldn't have the slightest sympathy.

But these villagers in Gourd Village were killed by the people of the Holy Verity Sect because of him, and this was a kind of provocation to him.

It happened that he was making breakthroughs in his cultivation now, and even if he suspended his cultivation, he would not be able to rescue those villagers from being killed by the Holy Verity Sect.

He took a deep breath and called Ming Huang through his Divine Consciousness.

After a while, Ming Huang appeared outside the door and whispered, "Master."

"The people from Holy Verity Sect broke into Gourd Village and killed many villagers. Go and see if you can stop them for a while and buy me some time," Mo Xiu ordered.

Ming Huang knew that Mo Xiu was cultivating. Although he was wondering why Mo Xiu was still distracted to explain things to him when he was cultivating, he didn't have time to think about it after learning the current situation. He nodded quickly and left quickly.

Mo Xiu speeded up the progress of his cultivation, absorbing the Spiritual Energy around him frantically, trying to complete the breakthrough in the shortest time.

Great Perfection-stage Sea Core Realm, Early-stage Spirit Extending Realm, Middle-stage, Late-stage, Great Perfection-stage, Early-stage Soul Opening Realm...

With Spiritual Energy madly pouring into him, Mo Xiu disregarded the foundation and broke through frantically. The foundation that was originally solid was also messed up because of this reckless breakthrough.

Fortunately, he just had a Sky Origin Fruit in his hand. This time, he didn't have to worry about the unstable foundation at all, he just needed to make continuous breakthroughs until he could no longer break through.

...

Although every family in Gourd Village practiced cultivation, the villagers' combat power and combat technique were tens of thousands of miles away from those of the Holy Verity Sect.

Therefore, even if the villagers could find out that enemies had broken into Gourd Village, they still didn't have the ability to resist. 

Having said that, after the first few homes were wiped out, the other villagers in Gourd Village began to notice as they left their homes one after another, and gathered in the direction of Ming Huang's house.

It wasn't because Ming Huang's family could help defend against the invading enemy, but because they knew that Mo Xiu had settled in Ming Huang's house.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, they had no resistance at all and could only seek protection from Mo Xiu.

There were originally only 20 or 30 households, and they were close to each other. It was only a few steps from Ming Huang's house, so a group of people soon gathered in Ming Huang's yard.

Of course, the people from the Holy Verity Sect also killed them and surrounded the Ming Huang's yard.

Originally, there should be about a hundred people in Gourd Village. At this moment, there are only fifty or sixty people left.

"Who are you? Why did you slaughter our people of the Gourd Village?"

The villagers looked at the people of the Holy Verity Sect with black faces.

Among the people of the Holy Verity Sect, the nominal leader was still Elder Mi, but this time, the actual commander was another person called Elder Xu.

Elder Xu snorted, "You're just a group of ants. I can kill ants whenever I want to, even without a reason. What can you do?"

"You!"

The villagers looked at them hatefully.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the courtyard. And it was Ming Huang who had been ordered by Mo Xiu to delay the time.

"You are Mo Xiu's apprentice."

Elder Xu's eyes fell on Ming Huang and sneered, "It seems that Mo Xiu is hiding in this place."

Ming Huang took a deep breath and said coldly, "You people of the Holy Verity Sect are really not afraid of death. My master spared you your life last time. It's fine if you don't cherish your own lives, but you actually came here to kill innocent people..."

After a pause, he added, "Isn't it good to be alive?"

Naturally, Elder Xu would not be scared by Ming Huang's few words. He scanned the crowd back and forth, and said, "Where is Mo Xiu? Knowing that we have come, did he go to hide and behave like a turtle?"

"The turtle is you! Your whole family shrank your heads like turtles!" Ming Huang barked back unceremoniously.

Elder Xu was not angry, but his voice increased a little, and he said loudly, "Mo Xiu, I know you are here, so get out and die! Otherwise, don't blame me for killing your apprentice and these villagers!"

Mo Xiu was still cultivating at the moment, so naturally, he wouldn't respond.

Ming Huang hurriedly said, "With just you guys, do you think it's worth letting my master come forward? Let me warn you, you still have time to leave now. If you really want my master to take action, then all of you will really meet the Yama King by then!"

Elder Xu replied back calmly with a smile, "We are here to kill Mo Xiu, and since Mo Xiu hasn't died yet, why should we leave?"

Without waiting for Ming Huang's answer, he said again, "It doesn't matter if Mo Xiu doesn't come out. I'll just count to three. If he doesn't come out, I will kill all of you, and then find Mo Xiu."

After speaking, he started counting, "One... two..."

Ming Huang was very anxious, and before Elder Xu counted to three, he raised his hand and slapped Elder Xu with a palm.

"Humph, you're overestimating yourself!"

Elder Xu snorted coldly and also slapped Ming Huang out with a palm.

"Bang!"

Under everyone's eyes, Ming Huang's body flew upside down before bursting into a cloud of blood.

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Elder Xu's strength to be so terribly strong.

In the next moment, Elder Xu declared, "Very well, it seems that Mo Xiu, the head-shrinking turtle, really doesn't plan to come out. In that case, I will kill everyone in this village."

If they were separated, it would take a little time to find them all. But now that these people were gathered together, it could be said that Elder Xu had a chance to catch them all.

He raised his hand, preparing to wipe everyone out with one blow, but then he heard a "whoosh" sound.

"Hmm?"

Elder Xu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly found that one of his arms was actually burning, and a small firebird was flying around his arm.

If people looked closely, it could be found that it was not an ordinary firebird at all. It was a miniature phoenix.

"Ahhh"

Elder Xu exhaled in pain as his True Energy revolved, and decisively, he cut off the arm that was on fire.

A whole arm flew out, instantly turned into powder to dissipate, and the reduced version of the phoenix disappeared.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after using the True Energy to stop the bleeding, but his face did not recover, and he looked pale.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he wouldn't shrink from it.

He glanced at the villagers present and said coldly, "Mo Xiu's apprentice is dead, now, you all will die too!"

After he finished speaking, a slender True Energy blade light slashed towards the group of villagers.

It was just a blade of True Energy, but the huge gap in cultivation was there, which could be described as a fatal blow to these villagers.

The crowd resisted intentionally, but couldn't move at all in front of this True Energy blade light. They could only watch it slash towards them.

Seeing that someone was about to die under Elder Xu's attack, a powerful breath suddenly rose into the sky, and then a figure appeared in front of a group of villagers. It was Mo Xiu.

At this moment, Mo Xiu's cultivation had broken through to the Great Perfection-stage of the Soul Opening Realm, which was still a small step away from the Transformation Realm.

With a wave of his hand, Elder Xu's True Energy blade suddenly dissipated like a cloud of smoke.

Elder Xu was stunned for a moment, but it was not surprising. The blade light just now was just his casual blow, not his full blow. With the strength that Mo Xiu showed before, he could indeed beat his attack easily.

He didn't get angry but smile, "Mo Xiu, you finally came out, but your lovely apprentice was slapped to death by me, hehe..."

On the other side, Ming Yan got out of the villagers and said to Mo Xiu with a pale face, "Senior, Huang'er died so miserably, you must avenge him!"

"Who said that Ming Huang is dead?" Mo Xiu turned his head to look at Ming Yan slightly.

"Huh"

Ming Yan was a little surprised at once.

The others present were also a little puzzled. They clearly Ming Huang being blown by Elder Xu's slap Was it an illusion?

Or was it that it wasn't an illusion, but Mo Xiu was crazy?

As they were feeling inexplicable, a magical scene immediately caught their eyes. They saw a drop of scarlet blood flying up, turning into a phoenix phantom as the light flickered.

After a phoenix cry, the phantom of the phoenix rose into the sky, flew around the entire Sky Gem Mountain for a few seconds before it fell back to the ground.

When the light disappeared, a boy's figure could be seen appearing about, and it was Ming Huang who had been slapped to death just now.
