Chapter 115: Xiao Zi, Arrogant Beyond Measure

Xiao Zi had already transformed into a colossal blood-red demon, one hand gripping the eerie human’s arm tightly, while the other plunged inside Wang Hui’s body. The entire scene was bizarre to the extreme.

The princess covered her mouth in disbelief. She was shocked not only because the man chosen by the desert was apparently allied with such a sinister vengeful spirit, but also because he was called the leader of this malevolent entity—clearly indicating an abnormal relationship. Moreover, the vengeful spirit’s power was outrageously overwhelming. Just moments ago, the three armored monsters appeared fine, even seemingly dominant; the next instant, their heads had fallen to the ground, utterly defeated.

How long had it taken that vengeful spirit to arrive here? It was so fast it was almost like teleportation.

Having some knowledge of these strange creatures, she immediately speculated that this vengeful spirit was at least Class A, perhaps even Class S...

“Wait!” she suddenly realized something—didn’t she have many guards? Many of them were spirit controllers, albeit low-level ones. With this chaos lasting so long, where had they all gone?

Turning around, she witnessed a scene she would never forget.

Behind her lay a field strewn with corpses, meticulously stacked by a terrifying clown. Nearby, a young girl was painting on the bodies. All her guards were lying there lifeless.

Listening closely, she caught the girl’s slightly deranged voice: “Mr. Clown, could you please separate these bodies a bit? I want to capture the true fear they felt before death.”

The clown’s expression remained unchanged as he silently complied.

There was no choice — after all, his leader had ordered him to obey the girl. Once she finished painting each deceased person, he planned to clear away the bodies, believing this would birth a terrifying legend.

The clown mused that in the future, this world would surely be swept by a horror tale. Imagine someone seeing a certain terrifying painting and then being turned into artwork themselves—what a chilling thrill that would be.

Before the princess could fully grasp what was unfolding, Xiao Zi had already begun activating his skill.

“Soul Parasitism!”

Now, Xiao Zi’s internal energy was nearly depleted, and to fight these two eerie humans simultaneously, he had to replenish his strength. The quickest method was to drain Wang Hui.

This was why he had taken Wang Hui as his subordinate—he was nothing more than a living blood bag.

The moment Xiao Zi parasitized Wang Hui, he began voraciously absorbing the man’s soul power and blood.

Wang Hui had now become a divine authority, his soul power and blood more potent and flavorful than before. Moreover, Xiao Zi could directly wield Wang Hui’s divine power.

Feeling the surging divine energy within, Xiao Zi couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

“Haha,” he said, looking at the two eerie humans. “How strong is Class S energy, really?”

Before finishing, he raised his hand, and the floor beneath his feet suddenly transformed into countless grains of yellow sand, swirling wildly.

At this moment, each grain of sand resembled a bullet, scraping the air with a deafening roar. The violent energy waves instinctively instilled fear in the two eerie humans.

Xiao Zi did not kill them outright but swiftly dragged them into the air with the sand, wrapping them tightly together.

Then, streams of blood-red energy seeped into the sand cocoon, unleashing an overwhelming aura.

The yellow sand in the sky instantly turned blood-red—not the color of Xiao Zi’s energy, but the hue of the eerie humans’ own blood.

It was as if Xiao Zi had created a juicer: the sand formed the exterior, while his energy unleashed soul wind blades inside, acting as blades.

Under the assault of these two powerful energies, the eerie humans were shredded in an instant, reduced to pools of blood without a trace of resistance.

Xiao Zi remarked, “It’s a pity these guys aren’t true eerie creatures; they lack life essence. Otherwise, Buddha could have given them some skill upgrades.”

With everything done, almost no one remained alive at the scene. Xiao Zi, carrying Wang Hui, the clown, the princess, and Locaz, vanished into the shadows, disappearing completely.

Yet, high above at ten thousand meters, a satellite camera shifted its lens and uploaded the entire recording to the Sunset Kingdom.

Zasi Fei watched the screen, his hands trembling with excitement.

“Powerful... truly powerful!”

His face twisted into a grotesque grin, but his eyes brimmed with deep apprehension.

Although the satellite monitoring couldn’t determine Xiao Zi’s exact strength, one fact was undeniable: this camera used top-tier technology in this world, second only to the Lighthouse Kingdom and Great Summer Kingdom, capable of slowing video playback by tens of thousands of times.

Even so, Xiao Zi’s movements appeared like teleportation.

Such speed—probably beyond even Class S.

Coupled with his instant annihilation of those eerie humans, Zasi Fei deduced this critical information:

“The Malevolent Vengeful Spirit’s strength is Class S or higher. His skills include strange red wind blades and unimaginable speed, even capable of entering other beings’ bodies to enhance himself.

An eerie creature daring to make a move in front of Great Summer truly lives up to his fearsome reputation.”

After receiving this intel, Zasi Fei fell silent again.

Wasn’t this vengeful spirit recently in the Maoguo Kingdom? And only about Class B strength?

Now that Maoguo had fallen into ruin, everyone believed the vengeful spirit had become a lord-level eerie creature there. No one expected him to show up here.

In just a few months, his strength had surged from Class B to Class S. How could that be real?

Though suspicious, the facts were undeniable, forcing the king to accept it.

Perhaps he had concealed his true power in Maoguo, or maybe he was an eerie creature from a previous era.

But there was no time to ponder. Zasi Fei gave orders to his subordinates.

“He’s one hundred percent here for the Third Princess. She’s already been taken away. No doubt his goal is the Deep Sea’s resurrection.”

“What... what do we do now?” one subordinate, shaken by the recent footage, stammered, legs trembling.

Shaking his head in disappointment, Zasi Fei said, “No matter what, the Sunset Kingdom is one of the five great nations. While Class S eerie creatures are formidable, none would dare directly attack us.”

“The immediate priority is to stop the Deep Sea’s resurrection. Write a report and send it to the other four kingdoms.”

“But... what about the dignity of the Sunset royal family—”

Before the subordinate could finish, Zasi Fei plunged his sword through his neck.

Blood covered Zasi Fei’s face, his expression wild, eyes wide and twitching intermittently.

“I thought the princess would die, but who knew this Malevolent Vengeful Spirit would save her!”

Muttering to himself, he threw the sword to the ground.

Several servants entered to collect the body, while he sighed deeply.

“Maybe this kind of business really should be handled personally after all.”
