Reincarnation Paradise
chapter-712

After a fire broke out at the Temple, despite the efforts of hundreds of vengeful servants, the flames were brought under control but could not be extinguished.

The leader of the vengeful servants arrived at the passage between the Main Hall and the Dharma Hall, only to find several bodies scattered in the three-meter-wide corridor, their forms far from intact, with a pungent smell of blood filling the air.

"Chase them! We must not allow the intruders to enter the Main Hall," the vengeful servants' leader ordered, leading his group into the Dharma Hall.

The Dharma Hall was located in the middle of Yulindong Temple, occupying a small area with various rooms used for meditation and living quarters. At that moment, deep within the Dharma Hall stood a large door leading to the Main Hall, guarded by dozens of vengeful servants who remained unfazed by the temple's fire.

A short distance away, on a rooftop, Su Xiao crouched on the glazed tiles. He had fought his way from the Main Hall to this spot, eliminating dozens of vengeful servants in the process. Over time, he had grown accustomed to the changes in their combat techniques.

If this had been earlier, facing dozens of vengeful servants would have been impossible for him. However, things were different now. If he charged in head-on, these vengeful servants wouldn't be able to stop him.

Su Xiao had been waiting patiently because, among the vengeful servants, there was one creature that caught his attention.

Vengeful creatures were not limited to humans; they included various animals as well. However, except for rats, vengeful animal creatures were scarce.

The creature he spotted had a physique resembling that of a cheetah, with mostly black fur and white fur on its head and back. When Su Xiao saw it, he had a vague sense of familiarity, but remembering it took him a while.

It was a vengeful creature transformed from a honey badger. Su Xiao couldn't fathom how these vengeful servants had acquired honey badgers. Honey badgers were carnivorous animals, relatively small in size, and they had a penchant for eating bees, sometimes even quickly feasting on venomous snakes. They were known for their fierce temperament, and in the natural world, there were hardly any creatures they feared. They were either fighting or on their way to a fight. Due to the distinctive white fur on their heads, they were often called "Flathead Bros."

After transforming into a vengeful creature, the honey badger's size had clearly increased significantly. Flathead Bros were known for their bravery even in their original forms, but now, with their enhanced bodies, their combat prowess had likely increased substantially.

Su Xiao recalled a news story he had seen once: a Flathead Bro was living next to a lion, separated by a metal fence. The lion had provoked the Flathead Bro, who dug a hole under the fence overnight, eventually confronting the lion underground. Surprisingly, the Flathead Bro won the fight, biting the lion's face and sending it to the hospital. This was a true news story, not a reporter's fabrication.

Su Xiao looked at the Flathead Bro not far away and could still see traces of blood on its fur.

Just as Su Xiao was considering how to enter the Main Hall, the sound of hurried footsteps reached his ears, and the leader of the vengeful servants arrived with reinforcements.

The vengeful servants' leader surveyed the area and, satisfied that there were no immediate threats, breathed a sigh of relief. However, his mouth curled into a grimace when he saw the Flathead Bro nearby. This creature showed no mercy—when it had first transformed into a vengeful creature, it had sunk its teeth into his leg and hung on for five days without eating or drinking. At that time, the Flathead Bro was in its infancy and nowhere near as powerful as it was now.

"Liya, is there anything unusual here?" the vengeful servants' leader inquired, and the Flathead Bro, which had been resting, opened its eyes.

The Flathead Bro shook its head, and from its gaze, it was clear that it had become a sentient being.

"Ha!" The Flathead Bro bared its sharp teeth and emitted a unique roar.

"I know this is your territory, but there are intruders now, and we cannot let them enter..." Before the vengeful servants' leader could finish his sentence, the Flathead Bro, who was crouching on the ground, suddenly stood up, lowered its head, and charged at him.

"Hey, you..." Without waiting for the vengeful servants' leader to speak, the Flathead Bro rapidly pushed off the ground with all four paws, leapt into the air, and lunged at the vengeful servants' leader.

Seeing the menacing charge of the Flathead Bro, the vengeful servants' leader regretted his decision to transform this creature into a vengeful being. It was too aggressive.

Reluctantly, the vengeful servants' leader quickly stepped back, displaying remarkable speed as he retreated several steps.

Would the Flathead Bro give up so easily? Not a chance. Transformed into a vengeful creature, its physical abilities had greatly enhanced and always possessed an indomitable spirit. Now, with its enhanced body, it was even more formidable.

Boom, crash... After a loud noise, the Flathead Bro, bleeding from the corner of its mouth, emerged from a dilapidated building. Though it had been beaten and battered, it clutched a large piece of flesh in its mouth.

This scene caught Su Xiao's eye, and without a doubt, it was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Su Xiao silently leapt from the rooftop to the ground. As he landed, he immediately activated his "Shave" technique and rushed toward the shattered door leading to the Main Hall.

Although dozens of vengeful servants were blocking his way to the door, he had to escape now, as there was no guarantee of another opportunity.

"He's the intruder! Kill him!" roared the vengeful servants' leader, still nursing his leg wound, but Su Xiao had already reached the shattered door with his "Shave" technique.

Su Xiao's breathing slowed; he knew he had only one chance. He would face the onslaught of over a hundred vengeful servants if he couldn't dash through instantly.

Even with his vastly improved speed in drawing his sword, facing over a hundred vengeful servants, the vengeful servants' leader, and the Flathead Bro, the odds of breaking through were slim.

At that moment, only about a dozen vengeful servants blocked Su Xiao's path. Their jaws clenched tightly, and their bone-like exoskeletons encased their arms, forming various types of weapons.

Su Xiao quickly assessed the situation around him. Judging by the speed of the vengeful servants' leader and the Flathead Bro, he estimated that he had around four seconds to break through.

He sheathed the "Dragon Beheading Slash" and adopted a stance for his "Ring Break."

Clang!

A pale blue ring-shaped blade radiated outward, and in the instant of executing the "Ring Break," Su Xiao swiftly slashed more than a dozen times toward the shattered door. Each strike unleashed a blade of energy.

The "Ring Break" first made contact with the surrounding enemies. While the vengeful servants' exoskeletons were incredibly tough, they were no match for the "Ring Break's" slashing force.

In an instant, the vengeful servants near the door were cut in half, and the following blade energies shredded them into a rain of meat fragments.

With a loud crash, the blade energies cleaved the shattered door leading to the Main Hall into pieces. Su Xiao charged straight into the doorway.

Once he entered the Main Hall area, Su Xiao planned to find a way to shake off his pursuers and then search for the Soul Lamp. As he stepped into the Main Hall, his heart inexplicably skipped a beat as if he had entered an extremely foreboding place.

Seeing Su Xiao enter the Main Hall area, the vengeful servants' leader's eyes burned with fury. The Main Hall was their forbidden territory.

The vengeful servants' leader stood still, a bone spear growing from his palm, about two meters long.

Gripping the bone spear tightly, he flexed his muscles, arching his entire body like a tightly drawn bowstring. It seemed as though he was a bow, fully charged with power. He swung his arm, hurling the bone spear with all his might. As the bone spear was released, his right arm rapidly shrivelled.
