_In the inn_
On the surface, this place was an inn, but in reality, it was not open for business. It was only a place to test the demon and demonic cultivators who wants to enter the Blood Demon Sect. The surrounding air was exuding a faint demonic aura that did not dissipate at all.
"Your testing room is here and that's your number. If you can hold on inside for an incense stick of time, then you will be passed." The inn assistant placed a number plate into Ye Xiao's hands.
The number 70 on the number plate indicated that it was the testing room for Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao pushed open the door and immediately entered the testing room.
As soon as he entered, a strong smell of blood assaulted his nose.
"Roar!" A sharp roar sounded.
The room was dark. There was only one dim light illuminating a limited area.
A black shadow suddenly jumped out from a corner of the testing room and instantly appeared beside Ye Xiao, clawing fiercely towards him.
Whoosh!
The claws were extremely fast and there was even a sound of wind coming from them.
Ye Xiao's expression changed, "A Demonic Beast?"
Clang!
The Sea Dragon Spear appeared in his hand and clashed with the demonic beast's claw. It created sparks to lit up in this dark room, slightly illuminating the room.
In front of Ye Xiao was a ghastly looking Demonic Beast. This demonic Beast was three times as tall as an ordinary person when it stood up.
"Someone has taken away its souls and is secretly manipulating its body!" Ye Xiao focused his eyes and immediately understood what was going on. With the information and abilities he received after fusing with the World Exterminating Demon Dragon, he naturally knew that the body of this demonic beast was extremely strong. Some Middle-grade Immortal Treasures wouldn't even be able to leave a mark on his body.
"This demonic beast has such a strong body. I can use it to see how strong I am now!" Ye Xiao kept the Sea Dragon Spear and immediately rushed towards the demonic beast with his fist.
One man and one demonic beast: fist and claws clashed. Both of them were completely relying on each other's physical strength. Ye Xiao also didn't use a single trace of spirit energy in his attack.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The two of them fought for dozens of rounds in a row and had actually been unable to determine victory or defeat.
Although Ye Xiao was not using the spirit energy, he still failed to win against this demonic beast in terms of physical strength. It has to know that he was cultivating the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, and because of this, his physical body was extremely strong.
It could be seen that after killing this demonic beast, someone refined its body using some sort of secret technique, causing its already strong body to become even stronger.
"Let's see how powerful my punch is now." Ye Xiao once again punched at the demonic beast but this time, there was a trace of spirit energy channelling into his arm.
Following that, Ye Xiao smashed his fist against the demonic beast.
"Bang!"
A loud sound could be heard as the demonic beast's tough body caved in. There was even blood flowing out from the surface.
However, the demonic beast was not dead yet. It continued to run towards Ye Xiao's direction.
Ye Xiao suddenly extended a finger and pointed at the center between the demonic beast's head.
His finger was exuding a demonic aura and black dragon scales could be seen not only on his finger's back but also on his backhand.
"World Exterminating Finger!"
The demonic beast, who was running and was attacking wildly just a moment ago, suddenly stopped and remained motionless.
World Exterminating Finger was one of the abilities that Ye Xiao got after fusing with the World Exterminating Demon Dragon.
.....
Outside the inn, the innkeeper had been injured by Ye Xiao and was consuming a medicine to heal his injuries.
At this moment, a servant quickly ran in, "Innkeeper, the chief messenger has arrived."
The innkeeper's entire body trembled as he hurriedly recovered from his recovery and quickly ran out.
A black-robed demon had already appeared outside the inn.
"Your subordinate greets you, Emissary of the main altar." The innkeeper hurriedly knelt down and immediately greeted the black-robed demon.
"How many people have come recently?" the messenger asked.
The innkeeper hurriedly replied, "There are a total of ninety-three people who passed the ordinary trial. So far, not a single person has passed the advance trial."
Pow!
The envoy suddenly raised the book in his hand and threw it at the innkeeper's face.
"You've been here for such a long time and all you've done was this little bit of work?" The envoy roared impatiently.
But it was at this moment, a ray of dark light suddenly appeared in the distance.
"Someone passed the advanced level trail!" The innkeeper said in pleasant surprise.
The innkeeper was overjoyed and said, "It must be Sir Dong Xuan. He came to our testing room to check on us today."
Creak!
With a light sound, the door of a testing room slowly opened. Dong Xuan arrogantly walked out with a group of servants. Many of the servants were in a sorry state but they had truly passed.
As for Dong Xuan, his white robe did not have a single wrinkle, and looked very calm, without a hint of panic.
"Congratulations Sir Dong Xuan, you have succeeded in challenging the advance trail. Even in the entire Blood Demon Sect, there are very few who can reach your level." The innkeeper immediately flattered.
Dong Xuan gave a cold snort, "It was very normal for me to pass that trial. Don't you know how strong I am?"
Dong Xuan suddenly thought of something and asked: "Where is that kid?"
The innkeeper hurriedly smiled. "How can that brat be compared to you? He's probably already dead in the examination room."
Dong Xuan said with some regret: "It's such a pity, seeing that he's still young, I had actually wanted to take him in as my servant."
The innkeeper immediately said with a smile, "He's just a kid from the who knows where, how could he be qualified to be Young Master's servant?"
Dong Xuan nodded his head: "It's good that he died here, it will save him the trouble in the future."
"You? You succeeded in challenging the advance trial?" The black-robed demon suddenly said.
The innkeeper immediately introduced: "Sir Dong Xuan, this is the main altar envoy."
"You're not bad." The black-robed demon looked at Dong Xuan with praise in his eyes, "I heard that your father is Demon General Dong Xin?"
Dong Xuan nodded his head and replied respectfully: "That's my father."
The Envoy of the Main Altar were existences on the same level as the Ten Demon Generals. They were ordered to serve their lords and who was even more powerful than the Ten Demon Generals.
The black-robed demon chortled. "This has nothing to do with your father. You are the one who is outstanding."
The black-cloaked demon's gaze once again fell on the innkeeper. "Hand over all those who have passed the examination, I want to take them all with me."
The innkeeper said in surprise, "Sir, so fast?"
The black-robed demon's gaze turned cold as he said, "The situation is urgent, do I need to explain it to you?"
The innkeeper's entire body trembled as he hurriedly knelt on the ground and exclaimed directly that he didn't dare.
Very quickly, the innkeeper began to notify the other demons and demonic cultivators who have passed the trail to come.
"Everyone's here?" The black-robed demon asked in a low voice.
The innkeeper replied respectfully, "Reporting to the lord, they are all here."
"Alright!" The black-robed demon waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
At this moment, another black light shot towards the sky. The might of this black light was even stronger than what Dong Xuan caused. This scene was really too intimidating.
With a "creak!" sound suddenly rang out in the inn. An examination room slowly opened and Ye Xiao walked out.
Ye Xiao's body was emitting a strong killing intent, causing people to feel intimidated. Such an imposing manner really did intimidate everyone. Even the black-cloaked demon was slightly surprised.
But soon after, he saw the words "Hell" written on the door before he shifted his gaze away.
In the testing room, the trail could be considered extremely difficult to pass.
It's because one has to fight against a Late Stage Demon Emperor Level Demonic Beast and kill it. The difficult part is that this demonic beast is already dead and its body was refined into a demonic puppet using a secret technique, causing its body to become even stronger.
Because of this, even an Early Stage Ancient Demon might not be able to defeat that demonic beast.
But Ye Xiao was able to do that.. It really caused the black-robed demon to be surprised greatly.
