Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 4: Liang Xiao's Strength

"Qi Yunkai, Qi Meng, we are both preparatory disciples of Little Ghost Hall. Where does the senior and junior brother talk come from? Asking me to show respect, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!"

On the platform at the mountaintop, Liang Xiao stepped forward from the crowd and responded in a nonchalant tone.

Although it was a bit troublesome, he wasn't afraid of these two in front of him.

"Hahaha, in the cultivation world, the strong are respected, and it's even more so in Myriad Demons Cave. My cultivation is about to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining!"

"There should be no one in Little Ghost Hall with a higher cultivation level than me. So, how can I not be called senior brother?"

Qi Yunkai said leisurely, his narrow eyes filled with arrogance and self-satisfaction.

"Tsk, the fluctuations of his spiritual power are indeed close to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Having dual spiritual roots is truly extraordinary."

"Yes... wait, something's not right. That kid who doesn't get along with Qi Yunkai also has a high level of cultivation!"

Someone in the crowd interestingly noticed that Liang Xiao had already released his own spiritual power, and it was at the third stage of Qi Refining!

"Sorry, I just broke through to the third stage of Qi Refining a few days ago. So, if you want me to call you senior brother, you should at least break through to the fourth stage of Qi Refining before showing off!"

"At least for now, our levels of cultivation are the same, aren't they?"

A contemptuous smile appeared on Liang Xiao's face, provoking an unnamed anger in Qi Yunkai.

"Last time during the lecture, wasn't he still at the second stage of Qi Refining? Clearly, he's a waste with four spiritual roots, but his cultivation speed is not slow!"

Due to his talent and background, he was the center of attention wherever he went in Little Ghost Hall.

Except for this damn Liang Xiao, although he never actively opposed him, he always acted as if he didn't care about him at all.

Sometimes, when faced with the indifferent gaze of the other party, Qi Yunkai felt like a clown performing with all his might.

This made him feel challenged.

Liang Xiao stared at Qi Yunkai's unpleasant expression, feeling quite bored. He casually arched his hand towards the crowd and said, "Everyone, I still need to go back and cultivate, so I won't disturb you any longer."

After speaking, Liang Xiao took two steps back, preparing to leave.

Seeing that Liang Xiao was about to leave, Qi Yunkai coldly lifted his boot and stomped heavily on Liang Xiao's shoulder.

"Ah!! Brother Liang Xiao, we are both from the same country. You can't just stand by and watch him die!"

Liang Hao cried pitifully, tears almost streaming down his face.

Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao didn't even turn his head and said indifferently, "His begging is annoying. Qi Yunkai, why don't you just stomp on his head? That way, I'll have a higher opinion of you."

"Playing these petty tricks of stomping and kicking is just like children fighting, it's laughable. Don't embarrass the demonic sect, you poor guy!"

Hearing these cold and heartless words, Liang Hao's expression stiffened.

Qi Yunkai, on the other hand, was trembling with anger. Although Liang Xiao had always been indifferent, he had never been so sarcastic and mocking before.

Feeling the mocking gazes of the people around him, he felt embarrassed and his whole body heated up.

He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

Immediately, he fiercely closed his folding fan and said in a fierce voice, "Liang Xiao, you're looking for death!"

After speaking, Qi Yunkai activated his spiritual power, leaped forward like a giant python, and pounced on Liang Xiao. His right hand turned into a claw, accompanied by a sharp wind, tearing down towards Liang Xiao's shoulder.

"Yin Demon Claw!"

Someone nodded secretly, recognizing the technique used by Qi Yunkai.

Not all spells in the early stage of Qi Refining were long-range attacks like fireballs or wooden spikes.

There are also some spells used in close combat, and this Yin Demon Claw is a unique attack spell of the Myriad Demons Cave.

With one claw, even the Qinggang Rock stele would be torn with holes. When it hits the flesh, it often tears out the opponent's heart and lungs, extremely vicious and ruthless!

And when Qi Yunkai tore it out, although it looked a bit stiff, it still created a fierce wind, and black gas could be faintly seen at the fingertips, clearly showing some skill!

Liang Xiao felt an evil wind behind him, like needles pricking his back, and his eyes completely turned cold.

He saw him bend forward, avoiding Qi Yunkai's claw, and then swung his right leg back sharply, using the perfect Scorpion Tail move.

At this moment, Qi Yunkai's move was outdated, and faced with this unexpected blow, there was no way to avoid it.

Although this move by Liang Xiao was not a spell, with the support of his mana, every punch and kick had tremendous power.

In an instant, his right leg swept out like a steel cable, heavily hitting Qi Yunkai's chest and abdomen, sending him flying.

Qi Yunkai staggered back more than ten steps before finally regaining his balance. Before he could speak, he felt a surge of a bloody and sweet taste in his throat.

The next moment, he felt his internal organs churned into a mess, a pain he had never experienced before almost drove him crazy.

Although the body of a cultivator, nourished by mana, was several times stronger than that of an ordinary person, it was still not as tough as a monster.

Liang Xiao, after all, came from a martial arts family in the Liang Kingdom, and his on-the-spot combat experience was much richer than Qi Yunkai's.

The latter used to rely solely on his realm of mana and ruthless spells to show off, plus many disciples were wary of his background and didn't dare to go all out against him.

Therefore, it made Qi Yunkai feel that his talent for fighting was amazing. But after encountering Liang Xiao, who didn't buy into his act, he instantly suffered a setback.

"To be honest, you are weaker than I imagined!"

Liang Xiao turned around expressionlessly and walked a few steps closer to Qi Yunkai, startling the latter to take two steps back.

This was an instinctive reaction, but it made Qi Yunkai's face even more embarrassed.

"Liang Xiao, you are despicable for attacking from behind. Let me, Qi Meng, deal with you!"

Just then, a loud roar came from the side, it was Qi Meng who was watching the battle.

He never expected that Qi Yunkai, who was at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, would be defeated so easily by Liang Xiao.

But Liang Xiao, upon hearing Qi Meng's shameless words, showed a slight fluctuation in his eyes.

The onlookers couldn't help but show strange expressions on their faces.

Liang Xiao was attacked from behind by Qi Yunkai, and after successfully counterattacking, he actually became the one who attacked from behind...

Well, in a certain sense, it seemed to make sense.

This Qi Meng is quite talented!

Without thinking too much, Qi Meng, like a wild bull, rushed over with big strides. Every step he took made the ground on the mountaintop platform tremble slightly, like a drumbeat.

Vaguely, Qi Meng's face turned ashen like a corpse, his muscles bulged, looking extremely terrifying.

"I was just caught off guard by your sneak attack, Liang Xiao, don't be too proud. Qi Meng is also at the third level of Qi Refining, and he comes from the Qi Kingdom's General's Mansion, naturally gifted with divine power!"

Qi Yunkai had blood at the corners of his mouth, but his face showed excitement as he taunted Liang Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao completely ignored him, leaving him feeling frustrated.

"The attacking method on the battlefield? It seems like he has also cultivated the spell Corpse Iron Body. This guy isn't just putting on a show, he has some real skills..."

Facing Qi Meng, who had a body like a giant bear, even the tall and slender Liang Xiao seemed particularly thin.

"Die for me!"
