Martial Hero Rebirth

Chapter 77: Inviting Trouble

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, everyone trembled in shock and disbelief.

"How can it be? Why would second-rate experts appear here? I thought only third-rate experts appeared near Lanzhou City!" Yan Bei had an incredulous look and he could not believe what he had just heard.

What kind of people were second-rate experts? Even the head of Swallow Fortress was only a second-rate expert!

In Jianghu, every second-rate expert was hugely famous and usually commanded a great force or lorded over an area. They were rarely seen even in major sects.

How many people were there in Huashan?

The lower courtyard recruited ten thousand odd people every year, and second-rate experts only existed among the core disciples. Among 300 core disciples, less than a hundred of them were second-rate experts. Including elders from various branch divisions and headquarters, there were less than 300 in total.

This was considering that Huashan was a major sect! How many major sects were there in existence? The number could be counted with both hands.

Every second-rate expert was capable of taking over a battlefield!

In a place like Lanzhou City where third-rate experts roamed, how could there be a second-rate expert?

Yan Bei could not believe it and he was completely stunned by Lin Yi's words.

"Hmph, demonic cult disciples are unscrupulous and despicable, the appearance of a second-rate expert is nothing strange." Yiqian was displeased by Yan Bei's stunned look and snorted coldly.

In her opinion, there was nothing the demonic cult disciples wasn't capable of doing.

"They must have been plotting to send a second-rate expert to massacre the talents of our righteous faction!" Lu Buping exclaimed.

"Listening to your words, I remembered something. In various locations of Shenzhou, the demonic cults have stirred up trouble and attracted the attention of our major sect experts. Could it be that their aim is actually Lanzhou City? This is bad, those who went to exterminate the demonic cult disciples are in danger!" Yun Taizi cried out in fear.

"The danger is already here. Look, even someone like Monk Jueyuan is fleeing for his life, can it not be dangerous? Although this baldie has a shitty personality and loves being in the limelight, would he be running for his life unless he really had to?" Lin Yi smiled coldly with a serious expression.

Although he did not fear second-rate experts, his current strength was still inadequate to take on a second-rate expert with certainty.

At this moment, the figure was revealed in front of everyone's eyes. It was a thin middle-aged man who had eyes filled with crazy bloodthirst. He was licking his blood-red tongue and the corners of his mouth had bloodstains on it.

In front of everyone, he ripped out the heart of the corpse he was holding and devoured it.

Upon witnessing this act, Yan Bei vomited. Besides Lin Yi, his four companions' faces went pale from being shocked at what they just saw.

"I recognize him, this man is Old Demon Xu! A few years ago, he committed mass murders and massacred a dozen sects around Jiangnan. Thousands of lives were lost. Our righteous faction issued a bounty for him in the entire Jianghu and sent people to hunt him down. Shaolin, Wudang and even our Five Mountain Sword Sects had sent people on the hunt, and the forces were led by second-rate experts. However, he still managed to escape to the Western Region and joined Ming Cult! That matter was a huge disgrace to our major sects!" Mo Yu suddenly pointed at the figure and yelled.

All those who were present had heard of the incident regarding Old Demon Xu. He made a fool out of the righteous faction and became the pride of the demonic faction!

Lin Yi's expression became extremely somber. This Old Demon Xu was an immensely notorious character back in the game! A true great devil!

Speaking of Old Demon Xu, he was not only cunning, bloodthirsty and insane, he also had real talent.

When he just entered Jianghu, he did not belong to any sect. Starting with basic martial arts, he later obtained the silver grade Iron Claws Art.

Such a martial art was considered trash in the eyes of major sect disciples, but he was able to wield it with great viciousness and power. When he committed the mass murders, his internal art was only bronze grade. Someone like him was only considered an ordinary third-rate expert.

However, Old Demon Xu was so talented that he was able to produce the power of superior martial arts with the silver grade Iron Claws Art. After joining Ming Cult and obtaining the superior martial art Eagle Claws Art, he became unstoppable.

Just before the era of chaos arrived, he became a first-rate expert within just a few months, having completely mastered the Eagle Claws Art. Back then, he became the most popular candidate to become one of the Four Dragon Kings of Ming Cult. Even though he did not one of them eventually, he was still one of the greatest devils of the demonic faction. It was not going to be easy to deal with someone like that.

Monk Jueyuan nearly went crazy.

The devil behind him was too scary.

After running for an entire day and night, he was still following closely behind. The hundreds of major sect disciples who fled with Monk Jueyuan had dwindled to just one Quanzhen disciple. The rest had all been killed and had their hearts ripped out by Old Demon Xu!

Even his twenty-odd Shaolin fellow disciples had died to Old Demon Xu, and Monk Jueyuan's heart had nothing left in it but fear.

He previously did not know the power of a second-rate expert, but now he was finally aware of it. In front of someone like that, he was completely unable to fight back. Even running for his life was incredibly difficult!

"Keke!"

Monk Jueyuan's heart trembled when he heard that sound. It meant that Old Demon Xu was going to kill again!

Just as he thought that an Eagle Claw assailed towards his back and he could feel the cold wind blowing from the attack. After running for one day and one night, Monk Jueyuan could no longer put up much resistance.

His heart despaired and he closed his eyes to await the arrival of death.

But in the next moment, he opened his eyes again!

"Can't die, I can't die!"

"I, Jueyuan, still haven't made my name in Jianghu!"

"I am the greatest genius in Shaolin!"

"Destined to become the abbot of Shaolin!"

"How can I die here?"

As he thought that, he looked towards the Quanzhen disciple near him and a wicked expression flashed in his eyes.

Using his Dragon Claw Hands, instead of defending against Old Demon Xu's Eagle Claws, he grabbed the Quanzhen disciple and pushed him towards the Eagle Claws.

"Master Jueyuan, you!?"

The Quanzhen disciple never expected Monk Jueyuan to stab him in the back like this in order to save his own hide.

With his eyes wide and an expression of disbelief, one of the Eagle Claws sank into his chest and ripped his heart out, killing him instantly!

Even after he died, he continued staring at Monk Jueyuan with great bitterness.

"Don't blame me, I am someone destined to become the abbot of Shaolin, how can I die here?"

Monk Jueyuan had a wild and crazy expression on his face, and it was devoid of any benevolence of a monk.

Old Demon Xu was surprised by what happened and broke out in maniacal laughter!

"Hahaha, Shaolin, Shaolin! Being the leader of the righteous faction, don't you people always talk about slaying the devils and vanquishing the demons? How is that the things that you do are even more ruthless than our demonic faction?"

"Looks like Shaolin is the greatest demonic cult!"

Monk Jueyuan did not reply and focused on running.

There was no guilt on his face, only hideousness and madness.

Old Demon Xu looked at Monk Jueyuan's figure and licked his lips: "Keke, I really want to rip out this little monk's heart and see if it's red or black in color!"

"Hahaha, but before that, I have to entertain myself with this little monk!"

"This baldie is too wicked! How can he do such a thing? Is he still from our righteous faction?"

Yiqian cursed loudly at what Monk Jueyuan did to save his own hide, and her eyes were filled with disgust and disdain.

At her loud cursing, everyone's expression changed.

"This is bad, he discovered us!" Lu Buping shouted in fear.

Monk Jueyuan and Old Demon Xu turned their heads towards them.

At the sight of the five of them, Monk Jueyuan's eyes lit up. Putting on a benevolent smile, he sprinted towards them while laughing: "Disciples from Five Mountain Sword Sects, all of you are here at the right time. Let's kill this devil together!"

Pointing toward Old Demon Xu behind him: "This one here is a great devil from the demonic faction. Once we kill him, we will be famous in Jianghu!"

In his heart, he was smiling coldly and filled with killing intent.

Those who saw what he did must die!

Otherwise, it would be disastrous for him once news of his actions spread.

Old Demon Xu looked coldly at the five of them and laughed: "Keke, more major sect disciples from the righteous sects are here. Good timing, I will take revenge for hunting me down back then!"

The five of them were shocked by the turn of events.

As Lin Yi looked at Monk Jueyuan, his eyes were filled with killing intent. However, now was not the time to kill him, and he took a deep breath before shouting: "Prepare for battle!"

His companions quickly put on their helmets and drew their swords before taking a defensive stance.

Lin Yi glanced at Yan Bei who was scared witless and unable to move. He couldn't even run for his life, not to mention doing battle.

Shaking his head, Lin Yi stopped paying attention to him and focused on Old Demon Xu.

Monk Jueyuan passed them by like a gust of wind before shouting loudly in a righteous tone: "Disciples from Five Mountain Sword Sects, don't give up! This humble monk will go and look for help!"

"Please persevere until reinforcements arrive!"

Hearing his words, Lin Yi's companions started cursing loudly. However, once Old Demon Xu appeared before them, they could only stop talking and focus all their attention on him.
