Rest in a Demon's Embrace [BL]

Luo Xiao knew that Jiang Yao had not gone far, but he was also on high alert. This was his hunting grounds; this was the place where he could advance his cultivation.

His beautiful eyes shone with excitement but also solemnity. He knew that he could not take the beasts that lived in this Beast Ridge lightly.

He advanced slowly and cautiously. He could hear the rustling of leaves, and his eyes turned sharp. Something was coming.

The creature that was advancing was confident in its own strength. It did not try to hide its movements in an attempt at ambushing him.

He knew that the beasts that had not taken on human shape were not as intelligent as those who had, but they still had a semblance of intellect.

These beasts could be arrogant and show off, much like humans. It was likely that the beast had just advanced in its cultivation base. Otherwise, it would not be so confident in itself, and Luo Xiao\'s eyes turned cold.

This could become a problematic situation, but he was willing to do his best to fight. He did not feel fear as he knew that Jiang Yao would not let him die, but he was feeling a strange anticipation.

He truly wanted to fight, to test his limits, and to transcend them.

Luo Xiao prepared the spiritual energy in his body; it began floating in his meridians, ready to be unleashed at any time.

His fist was clenched tightly, ready to unleash a spell the moment that the beast came into sight.

Luo Xiao narrowed his eyes. Now it was no longer just a sound that he could hear; he also saw a rustling of the leaves in front of him, and knew that whatever it was that had decided to attack him had arrived.

Looking at the rustling thicket, Luo Xiao took a deep breath. He calmed his nerves, and got ready to attack the beast that was jumping past the branches and the leaves.

Looking at the beast, Luo Xiao\'s eyes widened, but he did not waste any time.

Soul Reaping Palm!

As he saw the beast, he did not even need to think before he began rotating the spiritual energy in his body within a specific pattern through his meridians. He activated the spell that could help him cause severe damage to the beast.

The beast was ugly. It was as big as a cow, but the body resembled a mixture of a pheasant and a rabbit.

It was horrifying to look at the rabbit legs with the pheasant tail, and at the rabbit ears on top of a bird head.

Never before had Luo Xiao seen such an ugly beast, nor had he thought it would exist.

Even Jiang Yao, who was hiding in the background, could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. What an ugly beast!

Although it was possible to read up on the various beast races, due to the mixed breeding, sometimes mutants appeared, but this was indeed a messed up beast. Was it a bird? Was it a rabbit? Did it get born as a living mammal, or did it hatch from an egg?

Such questions flashed past Jiang Yao\'s mind, but he was not being distracted. Even as the thoughts arrived, he still thought of Luo Xiao\'s safety.

Even though this mutated beast was hideous, and did not resemble anything he had seen before, he would personally obliterate it if it put Luo Xiao in danger.

Luo Xiao had also been incredibly shocked by the appearance of the beast. In fact, he had widened his eyes in shock when he saw the ugly beast, but he had not lost focus.

The Soul Reaping Palm connected with the pheasant rabbit, and a hair-raising shriek escaped the beast\'s lips.

The shriek was loud, and it caused Luo Xiao\'s face to pale slightly as he grit his teeth.

He knew that such a loud noise would definitely attract other beasts.

The Soul Reaping Palm had caused a large wound to appear on the body of the pheasant rabbit beast. The feathers and fur were a mess, and the flesh was visible.

The wound began on the shoulder, and because Luo Xiao had dragged his hand down, using it as a sword, it reached all the way to the abdomen.

Blood was gushing out like water from a broken dam, and the beast, which looked rather horrifying, was even more intimidating now.

However, Luo Xiao was aware that although it looked more horrifying now than before, it was much easier to deal with an injured beast than one that was in good shape.

Even so, he did not dare to take it lightly. He had to be alert and ready to fight more beasts that might arrive, or even withstand a berserk state.

Some beasts would become overwhelmed by their pain, and burst out with their potential.

Other beasts would get drunk on the scent of blood, whether it was their own or their foe\'s, which could cause them to erupt in a frenzy.

The Moon Goddess Hand!

This was one of Luo Xiao\'s favorite attacks. He did not hold anything back. The Astral Soul cultivation base erupted, and three hundred palm imprints appeared in the air, slapping at the pheasant rabbit beast one after another.

Each slap caused the beast to retreat a step, and more and more bloody wounds appeared on its body.

Luo Xiao was spending all his focus on controlling the three hundred palm imprints.

The Moon Goddess Hand could create between one and hundreds of thousands of imprints, but it depended on the caster\'s ability, and three hundred was already his limit.
