Chapter 531: Crystal Stone
“Option One: Lay low and wait for them to leave, reward of ten reputation points and ten fairy stones.”
“Option Two: Slaughter all of these people within thirty minutes, reward of one hundred reputation points and one hundred fairy stones.”
These were the only two choices.
Jiang Xiaobai immediately chose the second option without hesitation. One way or another, these people from the Sky Demon Sect were not getting away.
He was determined to kill every last one of them.
The Sky Demon Sect—these guys had to be dealt with!
But on another note, the system had been significantly improved since its upgrade to the 3.0 version.
Before, the system would sporadically present choices, sometimes remaining silent for long periods.
Now, a choice was guaranteed every three days.
The content was questionable though—three days ago one of the choices was to slap Ao Cheng across the face.
However, this time’s selection was great: one hundred reputation points equated to ten thousand points, which was pretty impressive.
“That’s odd, where’s that kid Jiang Xiaobai?”
“Not sure what’s going on, everyone be careful, this could be a trap.”
After the man spoke, everyone nodded in agreement, their expressions growing tense.
They were aware of the fate of those previously sent by the Sky Demon Sect, who had all been killed by Jiang Xiaobai, even if they couldn’t fathom how he possessed such terrifying strength.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai was hiding underground, observing them and preparing to make his move.
With his current ability, he didn’t view this group with much concern.
He could easily kill them with the Pagoda with a mere few strikes. The reason he was holding back was to see if this group would enter the altar.
He had roughly half an hour left for the mission choice, which should likely be enough time. Worst case scenario, he could leave one of them alive as a contingency.
It was only after these fools circled the altar that they approached the entrance.
“There’s no sign of that kid here. He might have entered the altar. Everyone, stay alert. There might be a trap inside.”
The leader spoke, then Jiang Xiaobai saw him touch a corner in the upper right side of the altar’s door and the door swung open with a rumble.
Seeing this, Jiang’s mouth twitched. Who knew it was this simple to open the door of the altar!?
He needed to be more cautious with his mission choices: he wasn’t sure if he could complete the second one.
However, there was no chance he would let these elders of the Sky Demon Sect go!
Just as they were making a move to enter, Jiang Xiaobai sprang from the ground, sweeping with his Yuenhong sword.
The terrifying energy of the starblade sword burst forth. The Sky Demon elders were taken completely by surprise as Jiang Xiaobai emerged from the ground.
They had no time to react!
Three were killed on the spot by his surprise attack!
But Jiang Xiaobai didn’t give them any chance to recover, he swung his sword again. The Pagoda, with Ao Yan and the others inside, appeared in mid-air.
The Sky Demon Sect elders barely managed to block Jiang Xiaobai’s sword, but now a giant Pagoda was falling from the sky.
Roar!
The massive tower powerfully smashed down on their heads, almost flattening them. But they combined their power to resist the attack.
Splat!
The Sky Demon Sect masters spat out blood and glared angrily at Jiang Xiaobai.
“You sneaky bastard, using surprise attacks!”
“And what about it? None of you from the Sky Demon Sect are any good either.”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered repeatedly, once again sweeping his sword. As the swordlight exploded, he controlled the Pagoda to fiercely smash down once more.
The Sky Demon Sect elders were hit with two relentless attacks. They could barely counter the attack from the Pagoda, and they had already sustained critical injuries from the previous attack.
This time, facing both an attack from Jiang Xiaobai and the Pagoda, they were totally stupefied.
Filled with rage, they desperately wished they could tear Jiang Xiaobai apart right there and then!
But regardless of their desires, they were helpless in the face of Jiang Xiaobai. His attacks were extremely terrifying!
All they could do was combine their powers and resist!
However, they had no hope, they couldn’t hold on!
Jiang Xiaobai’s Starburst Sword was already terrifying enough, but the Pagoda pressing down from the sky was even more horrifying!
Before it fully suppressed them, they felt an overwhelming aura attacking them.
For a moment, a thought surfaced in their minds.
Our days are numbered!
Boom!
In an instant, the Pagoda that filled the sky suppressed them and was followed by another swing of the sword.
The two-way attack was extremely powerful, and even the elders of Sky Demon Sect, despite their peak late-stage crossing-the-tribulation realm, were blown into smithereens incorporating wastelands.
From the time Jiang Xiaobai’s surprise attack started until now, less than a minute had passed, and over ten people had been exterminated instantaneously!
Jiang Xiaobai was rather satisfied with this outcome, realizing that his power was not elevated to a significant level yet.
“Just relying more on treasures now, I guess. My true strength, I suppose, won’t come into play until after I’ve completed the Rainbow Primordial Spirit.”
“However, thinking about it, I’m running short on time.”
After musing to himself, Jiang Xiaobai looked toward the dark corridor in front of him.
This was the only way into the altar!
Jiang Xiaobai did not know what dangers lied ahead, so he did not immediately bring out Ao Yan and the others. Instead, he carefully ventured in alone.
The time to make a system mission choice was also running out, so he needed to quickly understand the situation within the altar.
To his surprise, this altar only had one way!
From the entrance to the center of the altar, there was only a slightly narrow corridor. In the central area, there was just a rather large hall.
There was no light inside, and it was pitch black.
Jiang Xiaobai took out some luminous stones and spent a while tinkering before he managed to light the lamps in the hall.
Instantly, the entire hall lit up. One could clearly see the walls on all four sides filled with murals, the contents of which were extremely bizarre.
It seemed to depict some kind of demonic deity.
The hall was flat, except for a high protrusion in the center where the Slab Crystal Stone lay.
This should be the first task choice from the system.
After examining the area to ensure there were no dangers, Jiang Xiaobai finally let everyone out.
Surprisingly, the first to appear was Doggy who gave an excited yell and immediately rushed towards the platform.
Jumping up and landing again, Doggy had the Slab Crystal Stone in its mouth.
