Absolute Death Game-Chapter 431 - 42 Xiao Bieli_3

The matter was settled. Seeing that the arrangement was concluded, Xuan Zhenzi bade farewell to Gu Yuexuan. After a few perfunctory exchanges about keeping in touch, Xuan Zhenzi finally turned and left.

As Xuan Zhenzi exited the main hall, Xiao Buli thought that if he was to go to the Barbarian Wilderness, he needed to exchange some skills as soon as possible. Thus, he approached Gu Yuexuan and opened the dialogue box.

With the Pure Yang Sword Skills at his disposal, Xiao Buli could now trade for related Sword Control Techniques. It was like a sleepy person coming across a pillow, and he immediately focused his attention on this category of skills.

The Sword Control Techniques were also stratified. The higher the tier, the more powerful and numerous the skills available for exchange. Xiao Buli was only at the level of Sword Aerial Mastery, which meant the skills he could exchange were pitifully few. To make the most of the opportunity for exchange, he gritted his teeth and used the "Sword Control Insights Notes" he had obtained from Gu Yuexuan earlier, which instantly elevated his Sword Control level to the stage of Sword Shadow Transfiguration.

Now, there were many more options available for exchange. But even then, it wasn’t an enormous selection since Sword Control was only one category. Xiao Buli exchanged all the available Sword Control related skills cleanly, which were only three in total: the Ten Thousand Swords Art, the Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Sword, and the Concentration Sword Control Decree. The three skills combined only cost him a little over a thousand Contribution Value.

The Ten Thousand Swords Art was a group attack skill that could create illusions of hundreds of flying swords to assault the enemy, while the Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Sword allowed the power of thunder and fire to be added to the flying swords, striking down from the sky with a wide splash damage area.

As for the Concentration Sword Control Decree, it was a powerful piercing attack that added spiritual power to the flying swords.

He didn’t waste the remaining points, exchanging them all for Miracle Elixirs and supplementary talismans, particularly the defensive spell talismans. Xiao Buli made a point of purchasing a complete set of these.

After exchanging for skills and purchasing supplies, Xiao Buli used up all his Contribution Value. He bid farewell to the senior brother and left the palace, then went to say farewell to Jingci and Ji Xiangyun. Each time he left Mystic Hollow Palace, Xiao Buli would simply stride off, but this time was different. On one hand, Xiao Buli’s fate was uncertain on this journey, with life and death hanging in the balance, and the future unpredictable. He knew this because the Barbarian Wilderness was fraught with dangers, and even if he crossed the Wilderness to reach the Pure Land, he didn’t know if the Ancient Immortals were friend or foe. Secondly, through his many experiences with the people of Mystic Hollow Palace, Xiao Buli had developed some feelings for them. These feelings were possibly even more subtle and complex than those with his buddies in the real world.

"Are you really leaving?" Xiao Buli was walking along the road when he suddenly heard a soft voice.

"Yes." Xiao Buli instinctively turned back to answer, but when he turned around, he saw no one. After pausing for 0.01 seconds, he immediately realized it was the Heart Demon again; it had been so long without any harassment that he actually felt a bit uneasy.

"Why, you don’t want to leave?" Xiao Buli asked jokingly, a redundant question, of course. The Heart Demon wanted nothing more than to take control of Xiao Buli. Why would it willingly choose not to follow his body?

To Xiao Buli’s surprise, upon asking this question, the Heart Demon fell silent. "What, you really don’t want to leave?" he scoffed internally. The question was meant as a joke, but the Heart Demon solemnly replied, "Indeed."

Xiao Buli was quite taken aback, "What did you say?"

"I don’t want to go to the Barbarian Wilderness with you, nor do I want to go with you to the Pure Land in search of the Ancient God." This time, Xiao Buli was certain he hadn’t misheard; the Heart Demon, who always seemed fearless and relentlessly defiant, was actually backing down.

"Am I not mistaking your words? Could it be that what Xuan Zhenzi said about that place was true, there is indeed a way to deal with you? Is that why you’re afraid?" Xiao Buli stopped in his tracks and sat down by the roadside.

"Hmph, Xuan Zhenzi deceived you. There is no way to deal with me there. However, I genuinely don’t want to go to that place. Although I think you might not survive leaving the Barbarian Wilderness alive, either outcome is not favorable for me," the Heart Demon admitted with unusual seriousness.

Xiao Buli also dropped his joking demeanor when he understood that the Heart Demon was serious. His heart began to pound. Ever since he became aware of the presence of the Heart Demon, he had always wanted to rid himself of it, but he didn’t expect that luck would make it all seem so straightforward now. "How can you leave?"

"You need to create a body for me. Naturally, I will leave your body and enter the new one. From then on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other," the Heart Demon stated.

"After you leave me, you should be a novice, right? Aren’t you afraid I’ll slaughter you?" Xiao Buli asked curiously.

"Ha ha ha, what do you think I am? I am a consciousness, a soul. If you kill that body of mine, are you forcing me to return to your body?" the Heart Demon threatened.

Xiao Buli still felt this turn of events was too abrupt, and his mind turned with hesitation. "If I really take you to Pure Land, maybe you will disappear. Why should I go through all the trouble to create a new body for you?"

"You can try, but if you carry me through the Barbarian Wilderness, I’m not sure I won’t take over your body. I haven’t done it before because I’m inherently lazy. Although all Heart Demons are the same, they each have different personalities. Some people’s Heart Demons have great ambitions and can quickly take over their host’s body. But then there are Heart Demons like me, and like Xuanxu Zi, who are weak, lazy, or simply uninterested, thereby not taking over their host’s body immediately. This doesn’t mean we lack the ability. If I cause trouble in the Barbarian Wilderness, what do you think will happen? If you die, not even a bone fragment of you will remain," the Heart Demon spoke firmly, sending chills through Xiao Buli’s heart as he remembered the spiders he encountered in the Barbarian Wilderness and shivered.
