Chapter 23: Su Qin And Shi Xue.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

Outside the Demon Subduing Tower, hundreds of Monks were patrolling the area.

The Demon Subduing Tower is a forbidden area of the Shaolin Temple. Hence whether it was day or night, there’s at least 108 monks guarding it.

These 108 monks can instantly form a large formation, which was enough to trap an ordinary Upper Realm Martial Artist.

“Senior Brother.”

“Why do I feel that the Tower is a bit strange tonight…”

A young Monk looked at the dark, eerie Demon Subduing Tower, and whispered.

“Strange?”

“What’s so strange about it?”

The Senior Brother, the young Monk was referring to, glared and reprimanded him: “Just focus on your work, don’t look around everywhere.”

“Okay.”

The young Monk nodded.

When suddenly…

Weng!

They saw the entire Demon Subduing Tower shake.

The 108 Monks guarding outside the Tower were shocked and all subconsciously looked at the Tower.

“What happened?”

“Just now, I felt the Demon Subduing Tower shake?”

“Yes, I also felt it, I thought it was just an illusion!”

…

The Monks were surprised.

However, their surprise was short-lived as the next moment.

Crack.

They saw the door of the Demon Subduing Tower suddenly crack open.

A phantom suddenly rushed out of this gap in an instant, and stood outside the Demon Subduing Tower.

“I’m out.”

“Finally out!”

Shi Xue was ecstatic.

In fact, before deciding to enter the Demon Subduing Tower, Shi Xue actually hesitated to take this risk.

He was not sure if the ancient book was telling the truth…

Before trying it for yourself, who can be sure that the ancient book was actually legit?

After all, this was the Demon Subduing Tower of the Shaolin Temple and not some commercial building.

Just the number of famous Demons imprisoned in it speaks for itself.

These Demons have never come out since they were locked in the tower.

Was it because they don’t want to come out?

No.

It’s because they couldn’t get out.

It can be seen how terrifying the Demon Subduing Tower is.

In case what the ancient book said were all false…

Then wouldn’t Shi Xue be diving into his own death?

It’s just that, in the end, Shi Xue still decided to do so and take the risk. Because once he succeeded, and devoured the Demons in the Tower, Shi Xue will have the opportunity to finally stand on top of the world.

Under this temptation, how could Shi Xue be able to bear it?

More on that.

The description of the Demon Subduing Tower’s vulnerabilities in that ancient book was extremely detailed, and does not seem to be just the work of fabrication.

“Not good.”

“A Demon has escaped.”

Compared to the ecstasy of Shi Xue, the Monks guarding the Demon Subduing Tower turned pale with fright.

In the past decades, there has never been a precedent of a Demon escaping from the Demon Subduing Tower.

“FORMATION!!!”

The Leading Monk shouted violently.

The Monks suppressed the shock in their hearts, and quickly returned to their positions. They then formed an Array Formation, trapping Shi Xue in the center.

“What a pathetic Formation…”

“This can be broken with just a flick of this Ancestor’s finger!”

Shi Xue smiled contemptuously.

If it were before he entered the Demon Subduing Tower, this Formation could’ve trapped him.

But now.

Shi Xue is already at Peak Grade 2 and can enter Grade 1 Great Grandmaster realm at any time.

To trap him by this Formation is tantamount to a dream.

Bang!!!

Demonic Energy condensed before madly spreading in all directions.

Break~

The large formation of the 108 Monks was forcibly broken.

The Monks flew out and got smashed to the ground. They vomited a mouthful of blood before passing out.

All of this happened in a flash.

From the shock of the Demon Subduing Tower shaking, to the escape of Shi Xue and breaking the Formation, only a moment had passed.

The Monks only had time to complete the Formation, before it was broken and they had passed out.

Meaning there was no time to send the news to Abbot Hui Wen or to the Court Heads.

“Hehe, even unable to withstand a single blow…”

Shi Xue raised his right hand feeling his new-found power, full of excitement.

“Hmph! Turns out that the Shaolin Temple is merely worth this!”

Shi Xue sneered.

“It’s time to go.”

Shi Xue looked around.

Although Shi Xue escaped from the Demon Subduing Tower and didn’t give the Patrolling Monks any time to send the news about his escape, Shaolin Temple is not a fool.

The Demon Subduing Tower is a forbidden area of the Shaolin Temple. Since such a major event happened, even if they were not informed, someone will definitely find the abnormality sooner or later.

At that time, if Shi Xue is still here, then Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads would seize him.

“Hui Wen, old bald donkey!” Old Demon Shi Xue’s expression was cold.

In the entire Shaolin Temple, the only person that Shi Xue is afraid of is Abbot Hui Wen.

Shi Xue is currently Grade 2 and Abbot Hui Wen is also Grade 2.

Although Shi Xue is at Peak Grade 2, the Shaolin Temple’s Cultivation Techniques has the upper hand against his Demonic Cultivation Techniques. In addition, this place is the site of the Shaolin Temple, their home court. Shi Xue was basically alone in a war.

Once the battle drags on, it would become very dangerous for him.

Although Shi Xue was confident and even looked down at the Shaolin Temple, he also knew what choice is the best for him.

“But before I leave, this Ancestor wants to taste the Life Essence of these bald donkeys…”

Shi Xue eyed the 108 Monks who had passed out, and licked his lips.

In the past, if Shi Xue met a Great Sect disciple like a Shaolin Temple disciple, he wouldn’t dare to provoke them.

But his current strength gave Shi Xue infinite confidence.

His escape from the Demon Subduing Tower already made his relationship with the Shaolin Temple irreconcilable, so it does not matter if he devours some of the Life Essence of the Shaolin Temple disciples.

Thinking of this, Shi Xue took a step forward and appeared in front of a Monk.

This Monk is the leader and is at Grade 4. He has plenty of Life Essence and he is the favorite type of target of Shi Xue.

“You Demon!”

“Die!”

Suddenly, the Monk’s aura rose and he moved towards Shi Xue.

“Aiii, really too weak…”

Shi Xue seemed to have already expected this surprise attack. He simply raised his right hand and pressed it down slowly.

Bang!!

Demonic Energy immediately shrouded and suppressed the Monk.

“Why can’t you just be obedient and let this Ancestor devour your Life Essence?”

Shi Xue shook his head slightly.

“Demon, I’ll perish with you!!!”

The Monk struggled to stand up with bloodshot eyes.

Though when Shi Xue saw this, he was simply too lazy to respond nor did he react.

Just when Shi Xue was about to devour the Life Essence of the Monks.

…

Several li outside.

On a hill.

“Hey…”

“Just why are you doing this?”

Su Qin slowly opened his eyes and sighed slightly.

In between both of his hands, Supreme Yang condensed by [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] and Supreme Yin formed by [Lunar Body Refining Technique] collided and wrapped around each other, giving out flashes of snake-like lightning.
