Abundant Martial Arts Virtue-Chapter 1023 - 862: Clash

"You're qualified to have a drink with me, then go die!"

The man with slicked-back hair said.

Wu Xiaode immediately had a glass of wine in his hand.

The man raised his glass from afar, signaling to him.

Wu Xiaode without hesitation stored that glass into his storage ring.

"If drinking means death, then if I don't drink, does that mean I can live forever?"

He said.

The man's face instantly turned grim.

"...Did I hit the mark?" Wu Xiaode spoke.

Since the opponent could borrow the Causality Law Skill, perhaps he had released another kind of Causality Law Skill.

In summary.

In the Causality Law Skill, words and actions are crucial, they trigger magic and must be handled carefully.

"Just a little cleverness." The man said.

He retreated a step backward, suddenly disappearing into the crowd.

In the next second.

The music began.

The ball officially started!

A series of small bronze letters arrived belatedly:

"Attention!"

"This is the power of primal Evil Demon, able to incorporate any Causality Law magic into the ball."

"Any being in the ball will be killed in the ever-changing Causality Law."

"No one can keep up with the pace of the ball's law changes!"

"Even Heaven's information couldn't warn in time!"

"Be extremely careful!"

In the dance floor, various neon lights coalesced into a silhouette, who loudly proclaimed with a microphone:

"The fun times have begun, those without partners cannot enjoy this romantic evening!"

Before the words were finished, guests began searching for their dance partners.

Wu Xiaode looked around, only to find all the female dancers and noblewomen were avoiding him.

So that's how it is!

Wu Xiaode grabbed a wooden table, carved it into a human shape with his Butterfly Soul Saber, and held it in his arms.

The host looked towards him.

Everyone was coldly staring at Wu Xiaode.

"This is my dance partner—I just like wooden people, is there a problem?"

Wu Xiaode said, chest held high.

Evil magic doesn't work on him, because he is also an Evil Demon.

Hence the opponent chose the Causality Law Skill.

A wise choice.

But he's not someone who sits and waits for death.

The host loudly said:

"Of course no problem, then the Battle Dance begins!"

"The dancer who survives till the end can leave the dance floor to rest, the others must die!"

The rule is survival last——

Before the host finished speaking, Wu Xiaode had already drawn the saber from his waist and slashed a blade light that swept across the entire dance floor.

——The ultimate technique of the Four Pillars·Eight Desolations Soul Condensing Slash!

This is a saber skill honed at 9 times the speed, eventually mastered as a finishing move.

Guaranteed hit, break defense, true damage, critical hit.

Buzz——

Amidst the intense buzzing, the blade light like a dispersing light circle wiped out all guests standing on the dance floor, turning them into a shower of blood.

The entire scene was left with only Wu Xiaode.

At this time, only a moment had passed, and the host had just finished speaking the word "die" and just one second had elapsed.

——This is the true combat value of Wu Xiaode!

His combat reaction is so exceptional, it can be deemed one-in-a-million.

No.

In the entire human race, there's only him like this.

Causality Law cannot find his flaw either!

In the dance floor full of blood and severed limbs, Wu Xiaode slowly sheathed his saber, and said:

"Seems like only I survived to the end."

"How astonishing," the host loudly announced, "Let's see, this dance floor has only this pair of outstanding dancers left."

"Now, please slaughter each other."

"Only one of you two can walk out alive from the dance floor."

The wooden person in Wu Xiaode's hands suddenly came to life.

Thunk.

Wu Xiaode's fist directly exploded its head.

Wooden person dead!

The host paused for a moment.

Wu Xiaode's expression turned murderous.

——Such sinister Causality Law assembly!

If a true couple is here cooperating to kill enemies, yet only one will survive...

Luckily he didn't bring any teammates.

The dance floor suddenly disappeared.

The space flashed.

Suddenly people stood all around again.

This is still the ball scene, all around the dance floor is still harmonious.

Wu Xiaode found himself having left the dance floor, standing before a table.

Behind the table, on a wide sofa.

The man with slicked-back hair was smoking a cigar, arms around companions, staring at Wu Xiaode with a vicious gaze.

"Really have some skills, no wonder you got far."

He said puffing smoke rings.

Wu Xiaode sat on the opposite side, smiled and said:

"Causality Law is just child's play, if you truly want my life why not fight me."

But the man mouth broadened with a knowing smile, spoke: "Actually, you don't want to face Causality Law, you want to fight me, I can see."

"Can't kill me." Wu Xiaode said.

"But you're uncomfortable." The man said.

"What do you really want?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I was hired to kill you, of course I want to kill you."

"Then come on."

"Hehe, come on."

Using the talking break, Wu Xiaode finished the magic seal on his hand.

Evil Soul Heart Stealing·Divine Puppet Ghost Loss!

As magic formed, the noisy music around, and bustling voices all quieted down.

Everyone stood still.

Everything constructed with Causality Law magic, bearing malice towards Wu Xiaode, was brought into the dream, leaving only a shell here.

But the man with slicked-back hair across was unscathed.

Wu Xiaode paused for a moment, immediately reacted.

He smiled and said:

"Interesting, outside in the depths there's a big guy who is your body, here you are just——"

"Just a body of magic." The man shrugged.

Wu Xiaode sat still.

But his magic had entered the second stage.

Throughout the estate, monsters summoned to kill him, were all refined into Divine Puppets.

These Divine Puppets slowly came alive, running outside.

They leapt over the walls and sprinted towards the dense forest, seemingly prepared to attack the evil demon's real body.

The man with slicked-back hair, however, showed no fear, puffed on a cigar, and said leisurely:

"The card spirit of the fourth card summoned me to kill you."

"But, you know, I am the Evil Demon King with independent consciousness, not its subordinate."

"Now I offer you a chance to explain."

"—Why target these card spirits? You could just climb the Holy Pillar yourself."

Wu Xiaode couldn't help but laugh.

He pressed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and said word by word:

"You are so strong, why don't you climb the Holy Pillar?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Wu Xiaode continued:

"Outside the 'Pilgrimage', the evil demons can't find the first card and thus cannot start the real 'Pilgrimage'."

"And you?"

"You are already inside the 'Pilgrimage.'

"Why don't you climb to the Holy Realm and become the strongest in heaven and earth?"

"Is it due to lack of strength? Or are you afraid?"

The man with slicked-back hair stared at him for a moment, grinned, and said:

"Interesting."

As the two spoke, those Divine Puppets had already passed through the dense forest and reached the mountain-sized evil demon head.

All the Divine Puppets launched an attack simultaneously.

Only to see magical spells streak across the dark night sky, whistling towards the evil demon head.

An abrupt change occurred—

A halo emanated from the back of the evil demon head, swiftly sweeping over all the Divine Puppets with a flicker.

The Divine Puppets were instantly immobilized.

The magic they unleashed turned to dust and disappeared. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

In the manor.

The man with slicked-back hair picked up a drink from the table, sipped it, and said softly:

"What benefit can you offer me? If you offer more than the fourth card spirit, maybe I'll consider sparing you."

Wu Xiaode immediately shook his head and said, "Benefit? No, I have no benefit to offer you, but I want you to understand one thing."

"What?" asked the man with slicked-back hair.

"While we have yet to become enemies, you'd better leave right now and stop blocking my path."

Wu Xiaode looked at him and continued:

"If you dare block me again, when I truly complete the entire 'Pilgrimage' someday, the first thing I'll do is kill you."

The man with slicked-back hair sneered, "You think so?"

Wu Xiaode said, "I've said my piece; make your choice."

The man with slicked-back hair pondered for a few moments, about to say something more, when suddenly he noticed his body becoming blurry.

Wu Xiaode said:

"You'd better decide quickly; otherwise, the power of this magic will be absorbed by me."

He pointed to the Eternal Crown on his head.

The man with slicked-back hair looked up, revealing a greedy look.

"Want it? That's my business; giving you a crown is nothing."

Wu Xiaode casually tugged at his head, instantly separating a sub-crown and placing it on the table.

"Alright, for the sake of the crown… deal," said the man with slicked-back hair, raising his glass to Wu Xiaode.

A glass of wine appeared on the table before Wu Xiaode.

"Cheers," said the man with slicked-back hair with a smile.

Wu Xiaode, however, did not lift his glass, his face changed as he slowly stood up and said:

"You still want to kill me, don't you?"

Drinking a glass meant going to die—

The opponent had used this Causality Law Skill to initiate the showdown, which perhaps had not ended yet.

Damn it.

Trying to trick me into drinking wine?

Wu Xiaode's body erupted with killing intent uncontrollably.

"Back when I mixed around Rainbow Street, no one from the opposite thief gang dared to persuade me to drink."

"Who the hell knows what's in the wine."

"You, a dismembered evil demon, stitched together, dare to play tricks with me."

"Not transparent at all."

Wu Xiaode raised his fist high.

The black rope wrapped around his hand, turning into a makeshift glove.

Boom—

A punch landed.

The banquet hall was smashed into a deep pit.

"Looking for death?"

The man with slicked-back hair set aside the cigar, his face contorted with rage.

Wu Xiaode grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said hatefully:

"The ball constructed by your magic has been mostly absorbed by my crown."

"Your lackeys have all been refined into Divine Puppets by me."

"—You're outdated, old geezer!"

Boom!!!

Another punch landed.

The entire manor transformed into radiant light, absorbed by the Eternal Crown atop Wu Xiaode's head.

Wu Xiaode directly converts all power into Eternal Evil Spirit Power and throws it to the evolving 'Demoniac' state fusion.

He turned his gaze toward the dense forest, looking at the gigantic evil demon head.

"Come on, fight me head-on with real weapons!"

Wu Xiaode unleashed a roar that echoed through the skies.

The evil demon head remained silent.

It did not respond; it simply stayed there with closed eyes, unmoving.

Wu Xiaode glanced a few times but surprisingly did not rush forward to fight, instead sitting down in place.

The opponent is capable of immobilizing all Divine Puppets.

Perhaps there's other magic as well.

Why bother going forward?

After all, with nine times cultivation speed, he grows even while staying put!

Moreover, the trial has a time limit.

"You must survive until sunrise tomorrow."

Who wouldn't know how to pass time!

Wu Xiaode made up his mind, squatting down casually playing with a stick on the ground.

The night gradually passed.

The sky brightened.

There's not much time left.

—If they don't deal with Wu Xiaode soon, he'll directly pass the level and obtain the fourth 'Pilgrimage' deck!

The evil demon head, as vast as mountains and rivers, finally couldn't hold back, slowly opening its eyes.

Pupil Skill · Soul-Extinguishing Catastrophe Dreamscape!

It directly stared at Wu Xiaode with its eyes, only to find Wu Xiaode's technique activating at the same moment.

Evil Soul Heart Stealing · Divine Puppet Ghost Loss!

"What an annoying dreamscape technique."

The evil demon burst out an uncomfortable roar.

—Evil Soul Heart Stealing is precisely a skill to deal with dreamscapes.

This time, their showdown has finally reached the last moment.

They will decide life and death in the dreamscape!
