BXBX NOVEL Chapter 9
Chapter 9: The New Junior Brother is the Demon Child?
Bang!
After sending the last bandit on his way up, Li Yu slapped his hands.
His expression was typical, his breathing was calm, and there was no sweat on his forehead.
It was as if those bandits had flown up by themselves earlier on.
However, right when he was about to count his prize, a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his figure vanished on the spot again.
When he reappeared, he was already on the dark side of the forest to the side.
“Hmph, there’s actually someone who slipped through the net!” Li Yu said as he looked at the person who had completely fused with the tree shadow.
Li Yu did not know if this guy was in cahoots with Zhou Dalang, but judging from his wretched appearance, he knew that he was not a good person.
The fellow seemed to be wearing an Invisibility Cloak that blended in with the ground and a mask.
He was the killer sent by Zhu Xiaotian with a name that struck terror into countless hearts—Viper.
Viper had just received the order and was planning to attack at night.
However, as he saw the large group of mountain bandits heading up the mountain aggressively, he came along to check on the situation.
After all, he had to ensure Li Yu’s death, and the Heavenly Spirit Pill and the Chongming Bird had to be present.
Hence, he had been hiding in the dark to observe the situation.
As a top killer, hiding his aura and figure was fundamental.
And he was the best in this aspect.
The various concealment techniques he cultivated could even turn him into a stone without breathing, heartbeat, or temperature.
He could hide on the spot without moving for several days that even a Nascent Soul realm expert passing by nearby would never discover him.
However, he never imagined that the concealment technique he took pride in would be easily seen through by Li Yu.
This!
Viper’s hair stood up as a bone-chilling cold arose.
Instinctively, he attacked without hesitation.
He specialized in drawing his sword. When he drew his sword, he could instantly take someone’s life. He was as quick as lightning and could kill with a single strike.
However, this time, his sword was snatched away by Li Yu before it could be drawn.
At the same time, he received a solid punch to the chest.
He was a martial arts body cultivator, and the strength of his physical body was comparable to a spirit artifact.
Still, despite that, his breastbone was shattered by the power of Li Yu’s punch, and his organs were reduced to slime.
The top killer of the Great Xia Dynasty, Viper, is dead!
…
“This sword looks pretty good!”
Li Yu looked at the sword in his hand, which was as thin as a cicada’s wing and was about two feet long.
The sword emitted a faint halo while the sword Qi seemed to be breathing. It felt extraordinary.
“Ding… successful collection of the Cicada Sword!”
The system’s voice sounded.
At the same time, the mission progress of the divine weapon collection became 2 / 20.
“Aha!” Li Yu was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect how easy it was to collect another divine weapon.
As for the group of bandits earlier, they did not have any decent treasures on them. However, he did manage to obtain a lot of silver.
Furthermore, Li Yu planned to bring Zhou Erlang to Black Bear Mountain to plunder after he was done with the renovation of the Daoist temple.
Li Yu put away the treasures he had looted from the bandits.
When he returned to the Daoist temple again, they saw Zhou Erlang and the group of bandits working as if they were on steroids.
Their movements were clean and efficient, and their speed was more than two times faster than before.
“Everyone, work harder. Even if you don’t eat, drink, or sleep today, you must build the house properly. You can’t let the Daoist priest down!” Zhou Erlang shouted.
Li Yu nodded in satisfaction. This child was worth teaching.
“You’re… Ye Qiu, right? You want to spar with me?” Li Yu looked at the stunned Ye Qiu.
“Uh… about that…” Ye Qiu panicked, not knowing what to do.
If he sparred, he would not even have a chance to counter a single hit from Li Yu. He might even become crippled for life.
If he backed out, it was too embarrassing to admit defeat.
However, right at this moment, a yell sounded from outside. “Senior Brother, Senior Brother, I’m back!”
Li Yu turned to look at the door of the Daoist temple and saw Tang Chi rush in excitedly.
Tang Chi was actually six years older than Li Yu, but he was the last to enter the sect. In terms of seniority, Li Yu was definitely his senior brother.
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother, when I was climbing up the mountain just now, I saw many people flying overhead. I wonder what happened in the west that so many cultivators flew there!” Tang Chi said in surprise.
Then, his gaze was attracted by the group of hardworking mountain bandits.
“Master is really… He actually hired a group of disabled people to work, all to save money. Sigh… he’s the only one I know who could think of that!” Tang Chi shook his head and sighed.
“Oh yes, Senior Brother, I recruited a new junior brother for our sect on the way back…” Tang Chi pointed at the child who walked in behind him with a smug expression.
This child looked seven or eight years old, but there was a hint of… evilness from his countenance.
His eyes were not as innocent as a child’s. Instead, they were filled with coldness and cruelty.
Li Yu frowned.
There is something wrong with this kid.
He was definitely not an ordinary kid. To be precise, he was not a child at all.
“Kid, is this the big sect you’re talking about?” The child looked at the Daoist temple with two buildings and could not help but reveal a disappointed expression as he said with an old tone.
Tang Chi did not mind hearing the child call him a kid.
He had called him that along the way, despite Tang Chi’s attempts to teach him how to address an older person.
However, this child clearly did not have much upbringing and refused to change. He could not be bothered to care anymore.
After all, it was already a blessing to have someone willing to enter their sect. Why would Tang Chi care about all the red tape?
“That’s right. Our Daoist temple might not be big, but it’s filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. If you cultivate here, you are guaranteed a limitless future!” Tang Chi said shamelessly.
Li Yu wanted to praise his junior brother for his thick skin.
His ability to lie through his teeth was so superb that even Li Yu felt inferior in this aspect.
However, it was clear that his junior brother had duped a fella that he shouldn’t have provoked today.
Li Yu did not speak. He pulled Tang Chi behind him and stared at the child.
Indeed, before Tang Chi could finish his sentence, an extremely terrifying smile surfaced on the child’s lips as his eyes suddenly turned bloodthirsty red.
“Well, let me see what kind of expert you’re hiding here. Hahaha, the Heavenly Water Pavilion is so boring. A thousand people can’t even fight me. It’s no fun!”
The child suddenly let out a creepy laugh and jumped into the air.
Demonic Qi surged out and enveloped the entire Daoist temple as if the sky was falling down on it.
The terrifying pressure caused the bandits in the Daoist temple to collapse on the ground, unable to move.
Tang Chi also knelt on the ground with a plop, his face filled with fear and cold sweat.
He would never have thought that the Little Junior Brother he duped along the way was actually a… great demon!
