BXBX NOVEL Chapter 128 128: Demon
"Allow me to offer my assistance," Xu Shan said, a disarming smile gracing his lips as his voice resonated through the tense atmosphere.
"No one is allowed to use strength beyond the Realm of a Celestial Warrior. If you go beyond, I\'ll kill you myself."
A warning echoed through the air, spoken without explicitly naming anyone, but it was evident that Duan Mu and the members of the Duan Clan were the intended audience.
Duan Mu was said to be a mortal, but he was much stronger than one, especially after eating so many Celestial Fruits. However, he still couldn\'t close the distance in strength between them.
For that, Xu Shan personally placed a rule where the Duan Clan couldn\'t use strength beyond his means to handle, which was the Initial Realm of the Celestial Cultivation.
"On the other hand, if you only use the strength of a Celestial Warrior, then I won\'t interfere, even if you kill the little guy."
With that, he planted a seed for the Duan Clan. They could either be killed by Duan Mu, or kill him, but he wasn\'t going to intervene as long as they played by the Rules.
The Duan Clan Ancestor felt something wrong with these rules. He knew Duan Mu was a mortal. Even if someone only used the Initial Stage of Cultivation, they could still easily kill him. This didn\'t make sense.
On the other hand, the other Clan Heads also watched with great interest, wondering just what Xu Shan was actually looking for? Was he abandoning the young man for his entertainment? Or was it something more?
They hoped it was the former. If Xu Shan abandoned the young man, that meant their youngsters could have a chance of getting close to him.
"Young Man, stop right there. We can talk. There\'s still some questions." Duan Clan Ancestor insisted, as he sent some of the guards to hold Duan Mu back, so they wouldn\'t harm him. "I promise I\'ll get you an explanation!"
Since Duan Mu didn\'t look like he was in his right mind, the Ancestor only tried to restrict him so he couldn\'t do anything stupid.
After commanding his men, he turned toward his son to check just what was wrong with him.
However, only a few seconds after he turned around, he heard a painful cry.
He turned around to find Duan Mu stepping forward. Next to him, three guards of the Duan Clan were lying on the ground, lifeless.
Their heads were separated from their bodies while his sword was covered in blood.
The Ancestor\'s face darkened. Meanwhile, Xu Shan\'s interest peaked. He could feel that the pendant of the young man was activating.
Something was changing about Duan Mu. His frail and weak body was becoming somewhat larger. His eyes also turned pitch black as a strange character appeared on his left shoulder.
"Did you recognise that Character on his shoulders?" Xu Shan asked Xinren. However, Xinren shook her head in response. Even she didn\'t know what that mark was.
However, as soon as the Mark appeared, the pendant around Duan Mu\'s chest started developing cracks.
His strength also increased, almost doubling in an instant.
"Titan... So I was right." Xinren commented after some time, noticing the characteristics of Duan Mu, who was slightly taller now.
His body was also shrouded in a strange aura that was dominating. Even Xu Shan felt slightly uncomfortable under that aura, as if it had some suppressing characteristics.
For this aura to even make someone as strong as him uncomfortable, he was quite interested. Just how strong was a fully grown Titan? This was really a special weapon...
More and more Clan Members of the Duan Clan tried to stop Duan Mu. Even though Xu Shan said that he wouldn\'t intervene even if they killed Duan Mu, they couldn\'t believe that entirely so they tried to not harm the young man as much as possible.
Unfortunately, it was impossible. For some reason, not only was Duan Mu stronger, but it was as if he was able to see their movements. It was as if he could see a few moments into the future to see their moves.
Most of the Clan Members saw a blood red Sword flash before their eyes as they died in the most painful way.
There was another member of the Duan Clan who was frozen in place after Duan Mu appeared right before him.
In his fear and confusion, the man used all his strength to protect his life.
An Energy Blast was created by him, which sent Duan Mu flying back, coughing blood. However, as soon as he did so, his body exploded into a thousand pieces.
Almost everyone instinctively looked at Xu Shan, who was still comfortably sitting.
In the distance, Duan Mu landed on the ground. Some of his bones were broken in the attack, but he was like a wild beast who had lost his sanity and sense of pain.
He once again rushed. And this time, he didn\'t hold back anymore. It was as if all he could see was blood. No matter who was before him, they were killed.
He didn\'t care if it was his uncle, his aunt or his cousins!
In the end, even the Duan Clan Ancestor was shaken to his core, watching all his clan members die while all the guests were watching from a distance like it was an entertainment show.
He hoped for his clan to become the strongest clan thanks to Xu Shan and Duan Mu. But instead, his clan was almost on the verge of being destroyed.
The more the sword killed, the sharper it was becoming. Every stroke from the sword was able to break the space apart...
In the distance, Duan Jin had tears in his eyes as he struggled to speak to tell the truth, but no words came out of his mouth. He could only look at Xu Shan with trembling pupils.
He couldn\'t understand why this man was doing this?! Why was he destroying their clan after they treated him with such respect? Just what kind of demon was that guy?
