Chapter 293: Everyone Calls Me Blood Killer
“Who?” Everyone turned in surprise toward the source of the voice. After all, it had appeared without any warning, suddenly emerging without anyone noticing.
When the owner of the voice appeared before them, their expressions grew even more astonished.
“A little girl?!” Zhuge Ling’er was the first to exclaim in shock.
Ye Feng and the others naturally knew that this seemingly five- or six-year-old girl, standing at about one meter tall and looking like a delicate porcelain doll, was far from what she appeared to be—her appearance was indeed deceptive.
The girl said nothing, merely observing them quietly. Her gaze lingered for a moment on Xiao Yu and Xiao Bei beside Ye Feng, with a strange glint in her eyes, before finally settling on Ye Feng. “What’s your name?”
“Who are you?” Ye Feng stared at the strangely eerie little girl warily.
“My name is Xuesha—‘Xue’ for snow, ‘Sha’ for sand,” the girl said, pausing slightly. “But many people think it means ‘blood’ from bloodshed and ‘kill’ from killing…”
Hearing her self-introduction, everyone’s pupils contracted sharply. It was clear she was the number one Golden Armored General in the Demon Realm, whose strength surpassed Babu. It was only then that Ye Feng noticed the yellow dress she wore, adorned with several golden flowers, and her golden shoes of unknown material, which glowed harshly under the light.
“So this little girl is the one who killed three Absolute Demon-level warriors…” Everyone looked utterly incredulous, filled with horror.
“I still haven’t gotten an answer to my question. What’s your name?” The girl seemed to sense the difference between Ye Feng and the others; among them, she seemed most interested in Ye Feng.
“My name is Ye Feng!” Ye Feng remained vigilant, his expression unwavering.
“Have you heard of me?” Seeing everyone’s fearful expression, Xuesha guessed what was going on.
“Yes!” Ye Feng never expected her to arrive so quickly. He stepped forward, shielding Long Tian and the others behind him.
“I see… I thought I’d tease you a bit first.” The girl pouted slightly, fell silent for a moment, then raised her head with a sinister smile on her face. “It seems force is necessary now…”
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared. By the time Ye Feng reacted, he saw that Fat and the others were all collapsed on the ground; he was the only one still standing.
“What did you do to them?” Ye Feng frowned. He hadn’t even seen her move clearly, and Fat and the others had lost their combat ability in an instant—their fate unknown.
“Don’t worry, they’re not dead!” The little girl slowly walked toward Ye Feng. “It’s just that I can’t talk here. That’s why I made them lose consciousness.”
“What do you want to tell me?” Ye Feng asked, somewhat surprised.
“I don’t know what benefit Babu got from you that made him keep quiet about you.” Xue Sha looked at Ye Feng expressionlessly. “If it weren’t for torturing the two subordinates he brought, this matter might really have been hidden.”
As she spoke, Xue Sha stretched out her right hand, and a three-dimensional image appeared before Ye Feng’s eyes—it was of himself.
“From those scumbags, I found out that you, Ye Feng, must be the one who obtained that palace. Truly impressive—even someone like Babu could be bribed. I don’t know what you did to Babu to make him hand over the palace to you. After all, that guy isn’t weak either.” Xue Sha continued talking to herself.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. What palace? I think you must be mistaken.” Of course, Ye Feng wouldn’t admit such a thing easily.
“Trying to act stupid?” Xue Sha seemed very confident in her guess. “Then let me show you what I know!”
She waved her hand through the air, and a wall like ice instantly formed in midair.
On the wall was a scene of himself, Fat, and the others entering the palace over 300 years ago. The image was even dynamic, with their words sounding exactly as they were said.
“Over 300 years ago, you entered this palace. When it disappeared, you didn’t come out with your companions—you stayed inside!” The image on the wall changed again, showing Fat and the others being transported out of the palace in a disheveled state, followed by the palace vanishing, with no trace of himself among them.
“Time-image magic doesn’t lie…” Xue Sha’s smile grew more confident. “Until a few days ago… you suddenly appeared in that star region…”
The image on the wall changed once more, showing Ye Feng suddenly appearing in that star region, only to be blocked by those two copper-armored men…
Ye Feng frowned deeply; he had never expected the other party to use such a trick.
“Are you not going to keep denying it?” Xue Sha waved her long sleeves, and the wall that had just formed crumbled piece by piece, disappearing into the air.
“What do you want?” Ye Feng knew it was useless to keep denying it.
“To be honest, I’m really not interested in that palace. I don’t like big houses, nor do I need divine artifacts…” Xue Sha shook her head. “I’m more interested in you, because I saw…”
She waved her left hand, and a three-dimensional projection appeared in the air. Ye Feng looked up and saw the scene of him taming Babu. In the image, he placed his hand on Babu’s forehead, and then Babu submitted to him…
“I’ve never heard of such a trick—forcing someone five cultivation levels stronger than oneself to sign a master-slave contract, and succeeding at that… Can you tell me how you did it?” The scene before Xue Sha’s eyes plunged Ye Feng’s heart to rock bottom; he hadn’t expected her to be able to obtain such information.
Taking a deep breath, he finally calmed himself down. “If you want to know, why not try it yourself?”
Ye Feng sent his mental energy into the Void Realm.
“Qiankun Silk requires 1 million points of third-tier domain energy.”
“Confirm purchase!”
“Purchase successful. Domain energy has been deducted!”
“Oh, it seems you’re planning to use that trick on me. I’m actually quite looking forward to it…” Xue Sha seemed unfazed at all, even looking at Ye Feng with excitement.
Ye Feng activated the Qiankun Silk he had, but suddenly a dialog box appeared before his eyes: “Target cannot be locked. Target’s cultivation level exceeds the capture limit.”
“What?” Ye Feng was shocked. He quickly looked up at Xue Sha. “You’re a Supreme Demon-level powerhouse!”
“Ah…” Xue Sha was slightly stunned but quickly covered her mouth and laughed. “So you’re quite skilled—you managed to figure it out. In the Demon Realm, aside from the First Demon Emperor, no one has ever figured out my cultivation level.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng’s heart sank. Against a Supreme Demon-level powerhouse, the Qiankun Silk was completely useless. He was truly in trouble now.
“I suppose you’ve heard of the Blood Demon in the Demon Realm millions of years ago?” Xue Sha said with a smile.
“The Blood Demon?!” Ye Feng’s pupils contracted sharply. “A peak Supreme Demon-level powerhouse? He disappeared after fighting the current First Demon Emperor…”
“That’s right, that’s me…” Xue Sha nodded. “The blood of the Blood Demon isn’t actually blood at all—it’s the snow of snowflakes.”
“Million years ago, in my battle against the First Demon Emperor, I was defeated.” Xue Sha slowly recounted her story. “According to our agreement, I had to disappear for a million years.”
“After a million years, I challenged the First Demon Emperor again, but sadly, I lost once more.” A strange emotion flashed in Xue Sha’s eyes.
“This time, his condition was simple: help him build an army of executioners. For a million years, I had to seal my cultivation at the Dark Demon level. So, I did as he asked…”
Ye Feng seemed to detect something on Xue Sha’s face. “That First Demon Emperor… you might very well have been his equal. As far as I know, he was only titled the First Demon Emperor after winning against you, right?”
“I’ve also heard about that part of history. You fought alone against the top three Demon Emperors at the peak of the Absolute Demon level in the Demon Realm and killed all three on the spot. There’s probably no one in the entire Demon Realm who could match you!” Ye Feng seemed to realize something. “That young man who challenged you back then was only in the later stages of the Absolute Demon level. It’s already strange that you lost after the duel… Although rumors said you were severely injured in the battle against those three Demon Emperors, which led to your defeat…”
Xue Sha’s gaze grew dim.
“I’ve always thought you probably held back in that battle. After all, no one was there to watch the final fight,” Ye Feng said with a smile. “What’s even stranger is that, given your love for killing, you simply disappeared. Moreover, those who later rebelled against the First Demon Emperor’s rule seemed to have been secretly eliminated. That’s how the First Demon Emperor’s position was strengthened.”
“What are you trying to say?” Xue Sha slowly raised her head.
“You fell in love with that man, didn’t you?” Ye Feng looked at her with a hint of teasing.
“You know too much!” A murderous intent flashed in Xue Sha’s eyes.
“To disappear for a million years because of a man—how unfortunate for you,” Ye Feng shook his head and laughed. “After a million years, you challenged him again just to see him once more.”
“So, to satisfy his pride, you held back and lost to him again. When he asked you to help him build that army of executioners, you must have been happy—so you could see him from time to time.”
Xue Sha remained silent…
“You’re willing to give so much for him—why not just tell him you like him?” Ye Feng’s words hit the mark.
“My affairs don’t need your interference,” Xue Sha replied coldly, lifting her head.
“It’s because you’re afraid of being rejected!” Ye Feng’s words were piercing.
“Shut up!” A murderous intent flashed in Xue Sha’s eyes, and a freezing chill instantly paralyzed Ye Feng’s ability to move.
