Chapter 1: Power Fragment: Crimson...
...
The sky was a deep, dark blue, and the clouds were a deep, dark blue as well. The entire sky seemed to be dyed with ink, and the clouds were like ink stains, floating in the sky.
The ground was covered with a layer of blue-black smoke, which was very thick, and it was hard to see the ground clearly. The smoke was rolling, as if there were countless creatures moving inside.
In the center of this land, there was a huge pit, which was bottomless, and it was unknown how deep it was. Around the pit, there were many cracks, which extended in all directions, like a huge spider web.
At this moment, a figure was standing on the edge of the pit. It was a man, wearing a black coat, with a long knife at his waist. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything.
This man was Su Xiao.
Su Xiao looked at the huge pit in front of him, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. This was the place where the previous generation of Law Destroyers had fallen, and it was also the place where the power fragment was hidden.
"Power Fragment: Crimson..."
Su Xiao muttered to himself, and then he jumped directly into the huge pit.
His figure quickly disappeared into the darkness, and the blue-black smoke around him became thicker, as if to swallow him up.
But Su Xiao was not afraid. He had experienced too many dangers, and this was nothing to him.
As he continued to descend, the surrounding scene began to change. The blue-black smoke gradually faded, replaced by a strange red light.
This red light was very strange, as if it had life, constantly twisting and changing, forming various strange patterns.
Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He could feel that the power fragment was very close.
Finally, he landed on the ground. This was a huge underground space, with red light everywhere, as if it was a world of blood.
In the center of this space, there was a huge crystal, which was emitting a strong red light. Inside the crystal, there was a fragment of power, which was the Power Fragment: Crimson.
Su Xiao walked towards the crystal, and his steps were very steady, without any hesitation.
When he approached the crystal, the red light suddenly became stronger, as if to blind people.
But Su Xiao just squinted his eyes and continued to move forward.
He reached out his hand and gently touched the crystal.
The next moment, the crystal suddenly shattered, and the power fragment inside flew out and directly integrated into Su Xiao's body.
A powerful force instantly spread throughout his body, making him feel a sense of comfort.
But soon, this comfort was replaced by a sharp pain. The power fragment was too strong, and even with Su Xiao's physique, it was a bit difficult to bear.
However, Su Xiao gritted his teeth and persisted. He knew that this was a test, and as long as he passed it, he would gain even greater power.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the pain gradually subsided. Su Xiao opened his eyes, and a trace of red light flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and felt the new power in his body. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Power Fragment: Crimson, finally got it."
Su Xiao said to himself, and then he turned around and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The surrounding red light suddenly converged, forming a huge figure.
This figure was very tall, at least three meters tall, with a red light all over its body, as if it was made of flames.
"Intruder, you have taken the power fragment, and you will pay the price."
The figure spoke, and its voice was very deep, as if it came from the abyss.
Su Xiao looked at the figure, and a trace of disdain appeared on his face.
"Pay the price? Just you?"
As he spoke, he drew the long knife at his waist.
The blade of the long knife flashed with a cold light, and it was the Blade Path: Azure Demon.
"Blade Path: Azure Demon!"
Su Xiao shouted, and then he slashed at the figure.
A blue blade light instantly flew out, tearing the air apart, and slashed at the figure.
The figure did not dodge, but directly raised its hand to block.
With a loud bang, the blade light collided with the figure's hand, emitting a deafening sound.
But the figure just shook slightly, and then it was fine.
"Your strength is not bad, but it's not enough."
The figure said, and then it rushed towards Su Xiao.
Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not retreat but advanced, directly meeting the figure.
The two instantly fought together, and the surrounding space was shattered by their battle.
Su Xiao's swordsmanship was very sharp, and every slash was aimed at the figure's vital points.
But the figure's defense was also very strong, and it could block Su Xiao's attacks with its body.
The two fought for hundreds of rounds, and neither could do anything to the other.
Su Xiao's expression became serious. He knew that this figure was not simple, and it was probably a guardian left by the previous generation of Law Destroyers.
"Since that's the case, then I'll use my full strength."
Su Xiao said, and then his aura suddenly changed.
A powerful force erupted from his body, and the surrounding space began to distort.
"Blade Path: Extreme!"
Su Xiao shouted, and then he slashed at the figure with a single slash.
This slash was extremely fast, as if it had crossed the limits of time and space, and instantly appeared in front of the figure.
The figure's expression changed, and it hurriedly raised its hand to block.
But this time, its defense was useless.
With a puff, the figure's hand was directly cut off by Su Xiao's slash.
Then, the blade light continued forward, directly cutting the figure in half.
The figure let out a miserable scream, and then its body began to dissipate, turning into red light and disappearing.
Su Xiao put away the long knife, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.
This battle consumed a lot of his energy, but fortunately, he finally won.
He took a deep breath, then turned and left.
After leaving the underground space, Su Xiao returned to the ground.
The blue-black smoke on the ground had dissipated, and the sky had returned to normal.
Su Xiao looked up at the sky, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.
"Power Fragment: Crimson, has been obtained. Next, it's time to go to the next place."
As he said that, his figure disappeared in place, as if he had never appeared before.
