Su Xiaoxiao was scared when Xiao Bing suddenly shouted in the direction of the forest. She looked toward the forest from where a person came out. In the moonlight, she could barely see that it was a person, who was holding a stick in his hand. If it had been any darker, she would have thought that a monster had just emerged from the forest.
This man had disheveled blonde hair and a height of about 150 centimeters. His age could be estimated from his face, which was full of wrinkles. When he laughed a deep and evil laugh, he showed hideous yellow teeth. In a word, this man was disgusting, evil and scary.
Xiao Bing was as calm as ever. Even Orochi could not frighten him, let alone a person in front of him?
Su Xiaoxiao immediately felt scared, hid behind Xiao Bing and said, “Brother Bing…”
“Well, it’s fine.”
The man said with a horrifying smile, “The legendary leader of Dragon Gate is still a man who cherishes beauty.”
His speech was very slow, and was filled with an kind of unspeakable evil, which sounded gloomy and terrifying.
Xiao Bing, with his hands at his back, looked at him haughtily, and said in his usual calm voice, “Don’t play tricks with me here. I can see through your strength at a glance.”
The man began to laugh, but he obviously knew that Xiao Bing was telling the truth. He had reached the peak of Vigorous-strength Stage, which was only one step away from the realm of Breaking The Void. It was supposed to be at the top of the world, but this man in front of him was at the same level as Mr. Buddha. He naturally did not dare to provoke Xiao Bing.
He stooped and said with a strange smile, “Mr. Dragon is worthy of his fame. My name is Ghost Beast… the fourth general of the eight Buddhist generals.”
Xiao Bing suddenly asked, “What is the ranking of Feng XIII?”
Ghost Beast smiled and said scornfully, “He is the sixth general, a sinister villain. White Hair who was killed by the devil envoy ranked seventh. The strength of the two were similar at first, but Feng XIII is more sinister and despicable, so Feng XIII ranked ahead.”
In the beginning, White Hair, one of the eight Buddhist generals, came to catch Maggie, but had been stopped by Xiao Bing’s people. White Hair was initially beaten up badly by Gao Fei and then handed to Xiao Bing, who slit his throat and White Hair died. Now, Gao Fei had broken through the realm of Breaking The Void. Compared with his original strength, his present strength was naturally different. It was easy to kill the masters like White Hair.
From the words of Ghost Beast, it could be discerned that the eight Buddhist generals were not so united. There were also some people who did not like each other.
Moreover, Xiao Bing also knew that the strength of Feng XIII he saw at that time, must be higher than that of Ghost Beast. It was probable that Feng XIII was the strongest of the eight Buddhist generals at that time, because he had broken through the realm of Breaking The Void.
Ghost Beast said with a smile, “The eight Buddhist generals have not failed, but two people died in succession in one year. You killed White Hair. Feng XIII’s whereabouts is unknown. Now, there are other people to replace them and they became the new members of the eight Buddhist generals.”
Xiao Bing said, “Well, I am not interested in those things. What are you here for today?”
Ghost Beast looked at Xiao Bing and said, “Mr. Buddha asked me to tell you that members of your Dragon Gate will gather together in a month. Blood Wolf plans to be the new Sect Master that day. Anyone who refuses to accept it, will be killed.”
Xiao Bing was shocked and he asked, “Why did Mr. Buddha ask you to tell me this?”
Ghost Beast said with a smile, “Only Mr. Buddha can answer you. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Well, good.” Xiao Bing nodded his head and said coldly, “I guess that Mr. Buddha expects to see members of Dragon Gate killing each other. You can also benefit from it. Mr. Buddha used the ambitious and vicious side of Blood Wolf to betray me, and even as an internal agent, killed two of my closest friends, Su Peiya and Lei Jiutian. Now, you want to make use of my vengeance to deal with Blood Wolf, so that Dragon Gate will be split. I don’t know how strong Mr. Buddha is. I guess that he is more insidious and despicable than Feng XIII.”
Ghost Beast smiled evilly and said, “I don’t know. I have already told you everything. Mr. Dragon, see you.”
Xiao Bing took a step forward and looked at Ghost Beast with a proud look. He asked, “People of your Buddhism are connected to the death of Peiya and Old Lei. Since you are here, do you think I will allow you to leave this palace alive?”
Ghost Beast raised his head and grinned. Xiao Bing felt a little uneasy. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the Xiao mansion. Xiao Bing felt something bad in his heart, and then he heard the sounds of fighting from the direction of the Xiao mansion. Xiao Bing hesitated a little. Ghost Beast ran into the forest and disappeared. There were no more sounds coming from the Xiao mansion.
Xiao Bing frowned and said, “D*mn it. He escaped.”
At this moment, due to the interruption of Ghost Beast, Xiao Bing did not want to talk with Su Xiaoxiao any longer. He held Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and hurried back to the Xiao mansion. After walking into the house, he found that everyone was in the yard. Fortunately, all of them seemed to be safe. Xiao Bing was relieved.
There were two dead bodies lying at Gao Fei’s feet. Seeing Xiao Bing coming in, Gao Fei frowned and said coldly, “Four people broke into the yard and rushed toward Yezi and Maggie. One of them escaped. I killed two people, and the last one was killed by the guards of the mansion, in the dark.”
Xiao Bing looked at Gao Fei gratefully and asked, “What are the strengths of these people?”
“Transforming Strength.”
Xiao Bing nodded. If they had not reached the realm of Transforming Strength, they would not have been able to break through the defense of the yard. Even so, it seemed that since there had been nothing amiss recently, the four men managed to enter the premises easily. It seemed that the guards would have to step up on their vigilance.
It seemed that Buddhism could not be underestimated, let alone the eight Buddhist generals, who might all have reached the Vigorous-strength Stage. Besides, there were many strong members, such as those masters reaching Transforming Strength. They must have been the weakest ones, otherwise they would not have been assigned to serve as cannon fodder.
Masters reaching Transforming Strength were first-class masters in any city. Even in the Dark World, they could not be regarded as garbage. It could only be said that Buddhism had strong potential.
An organization with this kind of potential, however, was still scheming. Xiao Bing became gloomy. Su Peiya’s death, his separation from Dragon Gate, Old Lei’s death, as well as Blood Wolf offending him openly and his fight against Blood Wolf, all of the above events seemed to be controlled by Mr. Buddha. He did not break away from his scheme at all. He made the powerful Dragon Gate break down step by step, without incurring too much cost. How terrible Mr. Buddha was!
It was terrible for a person to have such incomparable strength. If a person could easily play with everything in his hands, when he had this kind of strength, it was not only terrible, but also frightening.
At last, Xiao Bing found the only person who could make him feel such strong pressure, since his childhood.
Xiao Bing was gloomy. However, seeing that so many people were looking at him, he pretended to be very relaxed and said with a smile, “I think this is a good thing. At least it makes us aware that the defense of the mansion has been somewhat weak till now. From now on, we need to be more vigilant. Even if there are another four such people, they can’t break into the yard.”
Dumbass clenched his fingers and said unhappily, “I came out late, or I would have crushed their bones.”
Xiao Bing said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Dumbass, you will get the chance one day. I’ll check it out later. Have them buried first. There’s no need to call the police. You don’t have to worry about it. I know that it won’t happen again.”
Yezi was a person who had experienced a lot. Knowing that it could cause panic easily, she immediately cooperated with Xiao Bing and said with a smile, “It’s fine. Everyone can be fully assured. Since Xiao Bing said that it would not happen again, it will not happen again. It’s so late. Everyone, go back and have a good rest.”
Although some people still had doubts, they released their worries and stopped thinking about it, after hearing Yezi’s words. They went back to sleep one by one, leaving Yezi, Gao Fei, Maggie, Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Bing, standing there.
Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and said, “Maggie pestered me to play chess with her tonight. It’s late. We were going to come out first to get some fresh air and then go back to sleep. Suddenly, someone broke in and tried to kill us.”
Xiao Bing shook his head and said, “They should not be out to assassinate anyone, but to divert our attention, or to seize you as hostages, which would force me not to threaten their boss… However, they looked down on the Xiao mansion, or they were not lucky, and they were stopped by Gao Fei. By the way, where is Little Huarui? What about Zhan Hongyan and Mr. Miyamoto?”
Yezi said, “I coaxed Little Huarui to sleep first, then I came out to play chess with Maggie, while waiting for you, at the same time. One of them escaped. Sister Zhan and Brother Miyamoto ran after him.”
Xiao Bing said, “Oh.” Just when Yezi finished speaking, Zhan Hongyan and Miyamoto Shinji came in. It seemed that they did not manage to catch that person.
Miyamoto Shinji had a cold expression, and Zhan Hongyan said, “We ran into the forest, and suddenly a strange man appeared in the forest. He was very strong. He first blocked the two of us, and then ran away with that man.”
Xiao Bing sighed, then comforted them. “It’s not your fault. I know who you are talking about. You can’t beat him.”
Miyamoto Shinji asked coldly, “Who is that man?”
“Ghost Beast of the eight Buddhist generals,” said Xiao Bing.
Miyamoto Shinji nodded, held his sword tightly, and released a faint killing aura. It seemed that he had suffered in the hands of the Ghost Beast.
Xiao Bing then squatted and checked the two bodies on the ground.
