Chapter 37: The Way of Killing.
Huo Wushuang asked, "Where are we going now?"
Xiao Fei thought for a moment and said, "We're heading west. Our next goal is to see blood."
Huo Lie, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Lie were all a little confused.
Xiao Fei said, "We've been training all this time, including fighting in the Soul Arena, studying within the academy, and occasionally hunting soul beasts. We've rarely seen blood. Our next plan is to kill.
The westward journey through the Heaven Dou Empire will be quite chaotic, with many bandits and evil soul masters along the way. We'll try not to use soul skills and kill them with our own methods."
Huo Wushuang looked puzzled, "Why should we avoid using soul skills?"
Xiao Fei thought for a moment and said, "Soul skills are simply abilities we acquire through hunting soul beasts. They aren't actually our own physical abilities.
Sometimes, despite possessing powerful soul skills, our control over our own bodies is very poor. True top masters are often able to kill enemies of higher levels, and this is part of our mastery of killing.
I call this the Way of Killing. Those who master the Way of Killing can easily kill enemies of higher levels."
In the original novel, Xiao Fei was most impressed by only three people who killed enemies of higher levels. They were Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Jiandao Chenxin. Tang Hao mastered the realm of the God of Death.
Whether defeating Qianxunji and three other Titled Douluo in a one-on-three duel, or facing seven in front of the Pope's Palace, he exemplified the ability to defeat opponents of higher rank.
Especially at the Spirit Master Competition, his overwhelming murderous aura and unstoppable momentum were truly terrifying.
At the Battle of Jialing Pass, Tang Xiao single-handedly defeated the three great Spirit Hall priests using the Nine Clear Heavens Killing Technique.
Jiandao Chenxin, in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's annihilation, fought one-on-four, severely injuring three of their foes—a true example of superiority over superior rank.
What all three of them shared was their frequent use of self-created spirit abilities: Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer, Tang Xiao's Nine Clear Heavens, and Jiandao Chenxin's Seven Killing Swordsmanship—all of which seemed to transcend the Douluo Continent's spirit master system.
Everyone still had great trust in Xiaofei. Huolie then left the group, and the three of them forged their weapons at the blacksmith's shop. Xiaofei chose soft armor, a sword, a pair of claws, and shoulder guards. Surprisingly, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu's weapons of choice, besides their soft armor and shoulder pads, were both massive hammers.
Xiao Fei immediately questioned whether a girl wielding a hammer was truly appropriate.
Shortly after leaving the city, they were actually surrounded by a group of bandits, the strongest of whom was a Great Spirit Master. Xiao Fei wondered: Are villains these days so reckless and brainless?
Then, a sly-looking bandit said, "You three, hand over your belongings immediately, or I'll make you suffer."
The bandit leader, glaring at Huo Wu, declared, "Beautiful lady, if you follow me from now on, I promise you'll have the best food and the best drinks."
Huo Wu, who had always lived like a princess, had never been subjected to such words. Angered, Huo Wu lashed out with her hammer. The bandit, assuming he was a Great Spirit Master, simply blocked the blow, only to have his entire arm shattered into pieces.
The leader was immediately shocked and ordered all the men to rush forward. It was the first time Huo Wu killed someone without using soul power.
She was stunned by the sight of the blood on the other person, then the blood on her own body. Fortunately, Huo Wushuang rushed to help.
After a fierce battle, the enemy bandits were completely wiped out. Ever since Huo Wu had adapted to this kind of bloody combat, she would chase the enemy with a hammer and smash them.
After the battle, everyone was covered in blood, corpse debris, and more. Huo Wu, holding her mouth, vomited continuously. Huo Wushuang and Xiao Fei were also feeling unwell, their faces pale. It wasn't because they were tired, but because they had never seen such a scene before.
Huo Wushuang asked Xiaofei, "Is this what you want to experience? Is it also your super-strong method?"
Xiaofei nodded: "This kind of seeing blood can make me see the real cruelty of reality. When we encounter real danger, relying on this bloodiness, relying on this bloody killing, we will become more adaptable to the battlefield, and then we may have an indomitable momentum.
I call it the way of killing. When we encounter difficulties or bottlenecks, we can fight our way out, so it is called the way of killing.
After sorting out, the two continued to walk towards the western border of the Tiandou Empire.
Along the way, for some reason, all kinds of robbers or thieves always emerged from all kinds of places, or besieged, or poisoned, or assassinated, and some even entangled hundreds of people to besiege.
The besiegers were of all kinds. The strongest had a soul king, and most of them were ordinary people. Xiaofei and the other two didn't even dare to sleep. They were extremely nervous.
Finally one day, Xiaofei and the other two entered the city and were eating. Suddenly, several people next door said, "Have you heard?
There have been a few fat sheep on the road recently? "Others quickly asked, "What fat sheep?" The man continued,
"Recently, there are said to be three people on the way west, two men and one woman. It is said that the woman is the concubine of a noble in Tiandou City. This person ran away with all the noble's property, and then ran away with two pretty boys."
"It is said that the concubine is very beautiful, but her heart is as vicious as a snake. She holds a sledgehammer and many people have been beaten to death by her. Someone on the black market has already offered a very high reward."
After hearing this, Xiao Fei and the other two's faces suddenly turned black and they trembled with anger. Queen Huo Wu actually became someone else's concubine, and Huo Wushuang and Wang Xiaofei actually became kept pretty boys.
The three of them made a big fuss, and the rumormongers were beaten half to death.
Xiao Fei felt very strange. Who was spreading the rumors? Otherwise, Xiao Fei thought of Huo Lie who had left, and then opened up all his mental power, and felt carefully. There was actually a trace of concern from a distance, and it was a bit familiar. He couldn't help but complain:
"It turned out to be Teacher Huo Lie. He actually arranged his son and daughter like this. The three continued their journey westward .
Almost half a year had passed in the blink of an eye. After six months of fighting, their temperaments had changed significantly, becoming even more fierce. Wang Xiaofei began to radiate a murderous aura.
During this time, the three had little time to cultivate their soul power, yet they all advanced by one level. This process was a natural progression, occurring without resistance.
Xiaofei knew this was due to their current realm advancement. He even gained some insights into swordsmanship, while the other two had also mastered a few hammer techniques.
