Chapter 117 Blood Demon Ye Liangchen

"This old man hopes that when we meet again, you will be stronger," the Sword Demon's figure became ethereal, and eventually, he vanished into the world around them.

"This match, Ye Liangchen wins!"

Feng Qingyang declared.

The expressions of the crowd were somewhat dazed; they hadn't expected Li Xiaobai to be able to summon a Blood Demon Primordial Spirit.

But upon further thought, it seemed only natural; the Good Goods Shop sold treasures that stabilized the mind, so it naturally followed that successfully cultivating a Blood Demon Primordial Spirit was to be expected.

In the future, if they encountered Boss Ye, they would have to detour around him; he was too dangerous.

Several of his senior brothers and sisters also wore looks of surprise.

"I hadn't thought that our junior brother had actually cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage."

"The last time we saw him, he was just a little weakling who had recently entered our sect."

"Yes, his cultivation speed far surpasses ours; it seems he has some big secrets on him."

"Moreover, it's the Blood Demon Primordial Spirit of an Evil Cultivator; he must have been inspired by that straw-cloaked man in the Divine Beast Mountain Range."

"Regardless, this is a good thing; we can't slack off either. Once we're back, it's devil training for all of us!"

Li Xiaobai slowly stepped onto the arena. The previous three matchups had featured talents of the same level, which were enjoyable to watch, but the rest of the people hadn't truly grasped the gap between them and the prodigies.

Now, with Li Xiaobai's Blood Demon Primordial Spirit facing off against Qin Lan, they recognized their own position.

On the arena, Qin Lan was in a daze. In just a few minutes, she had fallen from a proud and unapproachable princess to a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm Great Perfection.

She had become what she once looked down upon.

Her foundation was damaged; her cultivation level regressed again and again. Her future path was essentially cut off, and with no cultivation left, she could only be seen as a cripple—the Xingtian Sect would no longer accept her.

"Ye Liangchen, you've ruined me!"

Qin Lan's appearance was one of madness, while those around her shook their heads in sighs, thinking of how Qin Xian had previously been a shining talent, the object of many people's favor, but now she had been suddenly knocked down to the mundane world.

However, this was her own fault; she was afflicted by the backlash of her own cultivation technique, there was nothing to resent.

Li Xiaobai's expression was calm, "Liangchen won't kill you, just cripple your cultivation. Whether you can live peacefully in the future is up to your luck."

Qin Lan's expression remained dull; these were the words she had said to Li Xiaobai at the start of the match, now returned to her unchanged.

Ye Liangchen, Xu Kun, Holy Demon Sect, I, Qin Lan, will remember you!

Li Xiaobai stepped down from the arena, and the crowd naturally made way. His senior brothers and sisters came forward to congratulate him, and incidentally, he managed to snag a few strands of Huazi.

"Woof, kid, you did well, didn't disgrace Lord Ergouzi," Ergouzi was exceptionally excited.

"Hehe, you have a bit of this lord's style from the old days," Ji Wuqing also said.

"Junior brother, why did you even bring roasted meat from so far away? This chicken is quite plump, perfect for a little barbecue."

"This dog isn't bad either, boiled would probably taste the best."

"No more talk, let's do a little barbecue tonight. With such prime ingredients, we'll have Sixth Senior Brother cook up a feast!" Liu Jinshui said gleefully, eyeing Ergouzi.

"Woof!"

Ergouzi seized the opportunity and bit hard onto Liu Jinshui's leg, "Lord Ergouzi feels you taste better; mere ingredients dare to defy Lord Ergouzi!"

Liu Jinshui shivered in pain, "Damn dog, let go!"

"Hehe, this fatty seems to taste not bad; I'll cook you right now," Ji Wuqing fluttered his wings, pecking fiercely at Liu Jinshui, and in an instant, there was another round of chaos.

A few minutes later.

Liu Jinshui, with a face full of discomfiture, sat on the ground, while a rooster and a dog stood tall and proud, triumphantly victorious.

"I never expected the spirit beasts accompanying Junior Brother to be so intelligent; their wisdom is no different from ours."

"Indeed..."

On the tournament platform, numerous cultivators fought in an orderly manner, with most in the Golden Core Stage, only occasionally confronting geniuses in the Nascent Soul Stage. Those who did promptly admitted defeat, unwilling to follow in Qin Lan's footsteps.

The competitions passed round by round, and the number of remaining cultivators dwindled.

The elders on the platform nodded continuously; this generation's disciples had some substance; even those in the Golden Core Stage brimmed with confidence and did not disgrace their sect.

Yuan Fang's gaze remained fixated on Li Xiaobai and his group, having witnessed the might of their Primordial Spirits, he was almost certain these were the same seven people who had hindered his lord that day.

Ye Liangchen must be the so-called Zhang Rui in disguise, after all, the ability to change one's appearance wasn't rare these days.

A smile crept unbidden across his lips; he knew that if he shared this reliable information with that lord, he would surely gain a multitude of treasures and Cultivation Techniques. Then, even breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm and achieving the Spirit Realm would be easy.

Perhaps, if that lord was in good spirits, he might even give him some guidance!

Little did he know, his expression had been fully observed by Feng Qingyang.

The competition continued on the platform.

Li Xiaobai took the stage again, and this time his luck was poor; his opponent was a young prodigy exuding an aura of affluence, clearly from a major force.

"Blood Demon Ye Liangchen is up!"

"Don't talk, watch the Blood Demon's moves!"

"Stay back, Boss Ye's Blood Demon smells strongly of blood and is pungent!"

The disciples below the stage discussed animatedly, as Li Xiaobai's expression darkened. Blood Demon Ye Liangchen, whose idea was this name? So low?

"Brother Ye, I am Jin Lichuan from the Thousand Beast Sect, a Beast Tamer. All my skills lie within the beasts I tame, so don't accuse me of ganging up on you later," Jin Lichuan said with a chuckle.

Li Xiaobai understood; Beast Tamers were a special occupation, capable of subduing ferocious Demonic Beasts for their use.

On the battlefield, the role of a Beast Tamer was equivalent to that of a thousand troops; they were not to be underestimated.

After all, at the same level, a Demonic Beast's physical strength far surpassed that of a human's, making them quite difficult to deal with.

"Liangchen fears nothing," Li Xiaobai beckoned with his hand, signaling Jin Lichuan could begin.

Jin Lichuan, familiar with Li Xiaobai's maneuvers, was not upset. He formed a hand seal and smacked his Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, releasing clouds of gray mist that spread throughout the arena.

"Roar!"

One roar after another pierced through people's eardrums as mighty pressure swept across the platform instantaneously. The surrounding cultivators felt as if their chests were weighed down by a thousand-pound boulder, with some struggling to breathe.

As the smoke cleared, numerous large and imposing Demonic Beasts emerged.

Shouts of surprise came from the disciples below.

"That's the Golden-Haired Lion King, at the Foundation Establishment Realm Great Perfection stage!"

"There's also the Nine Heavens Mysterious Eagle, inheriting the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc!"

"Look underneath Jin Lichuan's feet; is that a Dragon Turtle?"

"My God, it's said that the Dragon Turtle carries the bloodlines of both a dragon and the Black Tortoise; its potential is boundless, a creature that has the makings of reaching the Immortal Realm. To think it has been tamed too!"

"Thousand Beast Sect of Central Province, truly extraordinary!"

The cultivators were excited; on a normal day, they would flee at the sight of these Demonic Beasts, but today they had the chance to closely observe them. What a blessing for this cohort of disciples!
