Chapter 263 - 263: The Style of the Demonic Faction (2)
When this cold and scorching heat appeared on his body, the feeling of cold and heat intersecting was far more uncomfortable than just being burned.
Xiao Shi was not surprised. Long before he came, he already had a certain understanding of the entire Blazing Yin City. He knew there was a special flame in Blazing Yin City. It was said that the entire Blazing Yin City was built with this flame as the foundation. This ball of flame was different from ordinary flames. It did not emit heat, but coldness!
This was a ball of Yin flames!
Long before Blazing Yin City was established, this area was completely an area of Yin flames. At that time, even a Blood Martial Realm expert like Xiao Shi would be in danger if he rashly stepped into this area.
After establishing Blazing Yin City, this ball of Yin flames was controlled by Blazing Yin City. Blazing Yin City used this ball of Yin flames as the core to create an array formation. Under this array formation, not only would the demonic martial artists who belonged to the Blazing Yin City not be harmed by the Yin flames, but they could also borrow the power of the Yin flames to increase their strength to a large extent.
This was like how demonic martial artists in the rainforest would have their strength increase in the rainforest.
It was a common method of the Demonic Alliance. It was also because of this that the demonic martial artists in the three cities of the Demonic Alliance rarely interacted.
Once they left the range of the city they belonged to and entered the area of the other cities, their strength would be suppressed to a certain extent under the array formation of the other cities.
In that case, even if they encountered people who were weaker than them in other cities, they would still be affected by the array formation, causing them to be unable to defeat the other party.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary.
The people from the demonic factions in these three cities would not easily go to the other party’s territory. Even if they wanted to meet, they would choose a place where neither of them would be stronger or weakened.
This was also a major reason why Xiao Shi did not have to worry about the Demon Hand Race hunting him down. Even though the Demon Hand Race had already discovered the death of their clansmen, they would not come to the Flame Land to chase after the murderer.
After entering the area of Blazing Yin City, Xiao Shi quickly walked in the direction of Blazing Yin City. He needed to rush to Blazing Yin City as soon as possible and join it. Otherwise, even with his body, he would not be able to withstand the heat and cold for too long.
After moving forward for a while, a majestic and shocking huge city fell into Xiao Shi’s eyes. The entire city was incomparably huge. It was much larger than Zhongjiu City and Bixin City. In the cities Xiao Shi had seen, only the Five Shadows City of the Swift Shadow Palace could compare.
The entire city was pitch-black. Its architectural style was different from the cities Xiao Shi had seen before. The outside of the city was filled with countless thick and bloody spikes. It gave Xiao Shi a strong, ferocious and cruel feeling.
In particular, two of the spikes were like a pair of huge curved horns. Not only were they covered in complicated and profound magic patterns, but they were also stained with a trace of golden blood.
This golden blood seemed to have an extremely high level. Just seeing it made Xiao Shi feel as if his eyes were burning and intense pain appeared. He did not dare to look further.
Xiao Shi could also feel an extremely intense coldness from this black city. This coldness was extremely terrifying. It had even exceeded the limit of the Blood Martial Realm.
It made Xiao Shi realize that if he rashly stepped into this city, he would definitely die from the cold inside the city. This also made him glad that he had not thought of using the Lunar Escape to sneak into the Scorching Bone City in the rainforest.
Presumably, there would be a similar situation in Scorching Bone City. The cities of these demonic factions were not so easy to enter. If he did not get their permission and stepped in rashly, even a Blood Martial Realm expert would die instantly.
Xiao Shi took a deep breath. He eliminated the thought of sneaking in with the Lunar Escape. According to the plan that he had prepared long ago, he approached the city gate ahead. As he approached, the coldness in the surroundings became stronger.
However, with his strength, as long as he did not enter the city, he would basically be fine. When he arrived at the city gate, he immediately attracted the attention of a team of city guards patrolling outside the city.
This was a group of city guards wearing black armor and helmets, only revealing a pair of cold eyes. There were more than ten people. The moment they saw Xiao Shi, they were all stunned. It was as if they did not expect the other party to come here.
But soon they reacted, they immediately went forward at an extremely fast speed and surrounded Xiao Shi. Everyone’s eyes were filled with intense killing intent. It seemed like they had no intention of asking Xiao Shi.
After surrounding Xiao Shi, they did not say a word and immediately wanted to kill him. However, Xiao Shi already had a certain understanding of the style of the demonic faction. He had already expected this. As he prepared to attack, he growled in a low voice. “I’m here to join Blazing Yin City!”
When everyone heard this, they narrowed their eyes. However, they did not give up just because of Xiao Shi’s words.
Swoosh!
One of the city guards moved. He instantly arrived in front of Xiao Shi. His right hand was in the shape of a claw as it whistled towards Xiao Shi’s heart. He did not hold back at all. As soon as he attacked, he wanted to kill Xiao Shi.
Facing the other party’s attack, a cold glint flashed across Xiao Shi’s eyes. He also stretched out his hand and twisted it with the other party’s claw. There was a crack. The city guard’s palm was instantly broken by Xiao Shi. Xiao Shi took a step forward and slammed his right shoulder into his chest.
Boom!!
The city guard’s chest immediately collapsed. His body was sent flying more than ten meters away like a tattered sack. He fell to the ground and was already a corpse.
Xiao Shi looked coldly at the other city guards. If this was an orthodox faction, he must have become enemies with this method. He would be wanted by the entire city and become mortal enemies.
But in the demonic faction, this was the norm. The style of the demonic factions was very different from the orthodox factions. Killing here would be even more normal. If Xiao Shi did not kill him, he would only suffer more difficulties in the future.
As expected, after Xiao Shi attacked ruthlessly and decisively, not only did it not anger these city guards, but there was also a kind of… respect in their eyes. In their eyes, regardless of the other party’s motive for coming here, one had to have a certain level of strength to be qualified to explain their intentions.
They had always believed in the rule of the strong preying on the weak. There were only experts, and they were decisive experts. Only then could they be respected here. Only then would they be qualified to talk to them.
Even if Xiao Shi displayed enough strength, if he held back and did not kill this city guard, he would not obtain their respect. Now, Xiao Shi’s actions had truly won the attention of these city guards.
“You’re from Scorching Bones… but you want to join our Blazing Yin?” The leader of the city guards examined Xiao Shi. His eyes were still filled with hostility. Even if Xiao Shi was already qualified to talk to him, if Xiao Shi’s next words could not satisfy him, he would still continue to kill him.
Xiao Shi glanced at the leader of the city guards. “If you can’t make the decision on this matter, scram to the side and get someone who can make the decision to come and talk to me. Don’t waste my time here.”
After saying that, Xiao Shi walked forward. He directly ignored these city guards. His words and actions did not incur the anger of the leader of the city guards. Instead, it made the leader of the city guards think.
Most of the experts in the demonic factions were like this. Insolence and dominance had always been a way for the experts of the demonic factions to show their status..
