Chapter 116.3: The Crimson Land’s Eight Demons

The leader of the disciples from the sect’s inner circle knew very well that the enemy they were facing was anything but ordinary and every single one of them too enigmatic to decipher. It would be foolhardy to clash with them head on and he would have to win through wits, so he immediately clasped his hand over his fist and said: “I do not think that there is any enmity between the Faint Mist Sect and you gentlemen here. Moreover, all of you hail from the faraway Scarlet Lands which is thousands of miles away from here. So why would you gentlemen come all the way here and even kill some of our Faint Mist Sect’s disciples?”

The easternmost Scarlet Lands. It was a highly chaotic place filled with all kinds of dangers and turmoil. It was said it was due to the abject poverty in those regions that ground and tempered their people into becoming so terrifying, where they could almost be called inhuman, but a bunch of nefarious hoodlums capable of arson, murder, robbery and abduction, every evil deed imaginable.

But that did not mean that they were all just a group of simple minded and awkward barbarians. On the contrary, some of them were extremely intelligent and their willpower were tempered to become very strong living under such harsh conditions, acquiring extraordinary skills.

People who lived in such circumstances surviving against the odds were often terrifying people.

Because their potential were mercilessly pushed to reach very powerful extremes, their fighting prowess were not what people who went through the normal paths of cultivation could compare to.

And what the easternmost lands were best known for was not the lawlessness of the region, nor was it the barren lands where nothing grew, but the infamous and notorious Crimson Land’s Eight Demons.

It was said that these people were not normal humans but men who were half beast, born from unions between man and beast. Hence not only did they possess human intelligence, they also had the powerful strength of beasts, their reaction time lightning quick, and well equipped with survival skills in the wild, almost invincible warriors.

The easternmost lands were also unique in the fact that there was an amazing type of juice from a plant. If consumed over long periods, it strengthened one’s body, and healed one’s pains and wounds quickly.

It was rumoured that Crimson Land’s Eight Demons were fearless against sword or spear, immortal and their skin impenetrable, and the tattoos on their faces were beasts that accompanied them throughout their lives, which they were able to summon up under their orders, highly powerful and terrifying to hear.

People who were accepted into the Faint Mist Sect were no ordinary people afterall, so how they not have heard of the Crimson Land’s Eight Demons?

Hence when the fellow disciple leader spoke that name, fear rose up inside all of them reflexively. It was the Crimson Land’s Eight Demons, and would they be able to survive an encounter this group?

Their luck today must be bloody bad!

It was said that people from the easternmost lands were brutal and barbaric but the Crimson Land’s Eight Demons were on another class altogether. But if those ghastly and terrifying tattoos on their faces were to be removed, their countenance would still be considered to be rather good looking.

Seeing the Faint Mist Sect’s disciple being so polite and respectful, it soothed the group of eight men slightly and the snake tattoo man opened his mouth to say in explanation: “It is said that the Faint Mist Sect is the most powerful force in the Constellation Lands, the leader among all sects and clans, so our group of uncouth country bumpkins thought to come expand our horizons, to see just how strong the sect is. My few brothers and I have traversed the pugilist world for a good number of years but have never met our match, so we came to be instructed and to learn a thing or two.”
