Chapter 438 - Blood Sea Abyssal Island
Liu Wuxie returned to his courtyard and rested for the night, planning to head to the Law-Enforcement Hall the next day to receive his punishment.
Everyone gathered in his courtyard, knowing he would leave the next day. The atmosphere was heavy since they wouldn’t meet him for the next three months.
"Junior Brother, this is a Blood Sea Abyssal Island map. Keep it safe!" Thê source of this conte/nt n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
"Junior Brother, here’s the distribution of forces on the island. Remember to avoid the marked areas..."
"Junior Brother, don't act rashly once you get there..."
"Wuxie, we will wait for your return..."
"Big brother, what do I do if I miss you?"
Bai Lin handed a map over, Tang Tian handed a book over, Jian Xing'er turned her face away and sobbed, and Fan Zhen was resolute.
"I'm only going outside to train for three months. Why are you all crying?" Liu Wuxie gathered the items from the table which were helpful to him.
"Junior brother is right. Just think of it as a training experience. Three months will pass in no time!" Bai Lin laughed, easing the atmosphere in the room.
The following day, Liu Wuxie arrived at the Law-Enforcement Hall. Elder Tian Xing had informed him that someone would be waiting for him outside.
"Liu Wuxie?" A middle-aged man stood in front of him, glancing sideways at him. He seemed unfriendly, and Elder Tian Xing had warned Liu Wuxie that the person escorting him to Blood Sea Abyssal Island was not a trusted aide.
Elder Tian Xing had already done a lot for him, and further intervention would only cause more dissatisfaction.
"That's right!" Liu Wuxie nodded with a frown.
"I'm Jiang Gongming, and I will escort you to the Blood Sea Abyssal Island. Let's get going now!" The middle-aged man said. He was a deacon of the Law-Enforcement Hall and was responsible for escorting disciples to distant places for their punishment.
Jiang Gongming had powerful cultivation in the Astral River Realm. If he wanted, he could easily kill Liu Wuxie on the way.
However, Jiang Gongming would be responsible if he died, and Elder Tian Xing wouldn't let him go. Jiang Gongming knew about it, so he wouldn't act along the way, even if he wanted to kill Liu Wuxie.
"Greetings, Deacon Jiang!" Liu Wuxie was polite, showing courtesy before resorting to force. He would not need to show a bad attitude if Jiang Gongming didn’t make things difficult.
"Let's get going!" Jiang Gongming left the sect, and Liu Wuxie followed behind.
As Jiang Gongming was in the Astral River Realm, he could fly in the air without needing a spiritual treasure, and his speed was faster than any spiritual treasure.
Liu Wuxie took out the Heretic Blade and stood on it. He had already memorized all the information about Blood Sea Abyssal Island the previous night. That was a lawless zone with all kinds of people mingling, a place devoid of rules or morals, driven only by plunder.
He knew that Blood Sea Abyssal Island produced blood abyssal stones, the primary food source for the abyssal races. The demon race also favored consuming Blood Demon Stones, which humans also needed since they contained pure energy that could be refined into pills.
It was also rumored that the Heavenly Phase Realm was created from them, so anyone who stepped into it would possess the divine elephant's strength.
After reaching the Heavenly Phase Realm, one's strength increased and surpassed the body's limits. The heavenly dipper power was strong, but it paled compared to the heavenly phase power.
However, after comprehending the power of the astral river, one could fight the controlling forces of heaven and earth.
"I have many ways to make you reveal who sent you," Liu Wuxie declared, certain that Jiang Gongming had betrayed him by spreading the news of his departure from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. However, he wasn't sure yet who Jiang Gongming had sold him out to.
"Still being so arrogant even when facing death? You can die today!" The four attacked together to prevent Liu Wuxie from escaping. From how they called him out, they had come prepared.
The Heretic Blade appeared in Liu Wuxie's hand. When leaving the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he had deliberately concealed his cultivation in the fifth level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm, giving everyone the impression that he had only advanced one level in the Celestial Spirit Cave.
Even Jiang Gongming wasn't sure of Liu Wuxie's exact cultivation, and he had to end the battle quickly before Jiang Gongming returned.
"Die!" A powerful shockwave swept out from the surroundings, surging towards Liu Wuxie. Their true essence manifested into divine elephants and lifted Liu Wuxie up.
"You four dare to challenge me with such pitiful strength?" Liu Wuxie raged. Unless his assassins were in the high levels of the Heavenly Phase Realm, they were doomed to die.
Liu Wuxie vanished and left behind a shadow. The room was small but didn't hinder his movements.
The four assailants knew they were in trouble when they missed their attacks, and Liu Wuxie's speed was more terrifying than they had imagined.
"Die!" The Heretic Blade appeared before the man on the right as Liu Wuxie appeared out of nowhere with speed comparable to teleportation.
"Shit!" the man exclaimed because he had underestimated Liu Wuxie's strength. He quickly raised his sword in defense but was still too slow.
Blood gushed out as a fine wound appeared on the man's neck. His corpse proceeded to shrivel in half a breath, turning into a pile of human skin and disappearing from the world.
The faces of the remaining three assailants changed when they witnessed Liu Wuxie's strength. They had received news that Liu Wuxie was only in the fourth level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm, but why was his combat strength so terrifying?
The news of Liu Wuxie's ability to fight above his level was only limited to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and it had only been ten-odd days since he had killed the disciples of the Law-Enforcement Hall. The news had yet to spread widely.
Liu Wuxie didn't stop after killing one person and charged at the remaining three like a fierce tiger. After all, Elder Tian Xing had warned him he would face a pack of wolves after leaving the sect.
The best way to deal with wolves was to be more ruthless than them and kill until they were terrified.
"Unision attack!" The three quickly formed a battle formation. They had to delay Liu Wuxie even if they couldn't kill him to find a way to escape and notify the clan to dispatch stronger experts.
"This is futile. Your unison attack is no different from a child playing with weapons before me." Liu Wuxie sneered and left behind multiple afterimages, appearing behind the three.
"Run!" This terrified the three, and the leader didn't hesitate to order them to escape and make further plans.
"Did I allow any of you to leave?" Liu Wuxie's cold voice caused the room temperature to plummet. The three were frozen in place and couldn't take another step.
With a flick of his finger, three cold rays shot out, and the three were frozen in place, maintaining their running posture.
