Valley Master Zhan laughed wildly, and instead of retreating, he began to counterattack. His moves were fierce and vicious. It was clear that he wanted to kill Wan Yanjun.
“No! I don’t want to die!”
Wan Yanjun could clearly feel that his strength was declining rapidly. At this moment, it would already be pretty good if he could display 70% of his strength.
If this continued, then he would die without a doubt.
“Ah~~”
His right arm was directly ripped off by Valley Master Zhan and it fell onto that strange pattern shrouded in red light, then it instantly turned into a pool of dirty blood.
On the other side, Shangguan Lei and Chen Zui also took a heavy hit almost at the same time.
Chen Zui’s one eye was directly poked blind, and he narrowly avoided getting his head pierced.
As for Shangguan Lei, one of his legs was torn off.
These three people, who originally had an advantage, fell into a very disadvantageous position now. They were very likely to die at any time.
Anger.
Regret.
Fear.
The current thoughts of these people were very complicated.
Originally, Wan Yanjun had agreed to the request of Meng Yuan and Hei Suo, thinking he would kill Ling Xiao while obtaining a lot of rewards by completing this task at the same time.
However, not it seemed that he had greatly miscalculated.
What level three task!
With the difficulty of this task, it should at least be level four!
Perhaps, only Rank Four Transcendent Realm martial artists could endure that terrifying Plague Turn Bone Formation.
No, it might be higher than level four difficulty.
One should know that Valley Master Zhan and Plague Fierce Beast were already so terrifying, and the Lord they mentioned had yet to make a move!
Just thinking about it, it would make people give up all hopes.
If there was another chance, then Wan Yanjun would never take this task even if he was beaten to death. He had a bright future. As long as he cultivated steadily, he would be able to have a very good future.
Even if he couldn’t become a core disciple, he could still have a position within the Moonlight Sect.
However, he was dying now. In addition, his body might even be stolen by these monsters, infiltrate the Moonlight Sect to make trouble and then implicate his clan and family members.
The consequences were unthinkable.
“Meng Yuan and Hei Suo, those damn bastards, no wonder they didn’t come in person. They might have already known about this. Damn it, why am I so stupid?”
Wan Yanjun thought like this. The thoughts of Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei were also similar.
They had no deep hatred towards Ling Xiao.
If it weren’t for helping Meng Yuan and Hei Suo, then they wouldn’t have taken this damned task and wouldn’t be trapped here.
Bang!
Pop!
Bang!
Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei were all sent flying and collided heavily against the wall, then they fell to the ground and vomited blood. Now, they already had no fighting power. They could just wait for death.
They were in the mercy of the opponent like a fish on a chopping board.
“You go and kill that kid. As for these three fellows, it’s enough to give them to our Lord’s formation to refine.”
Valley Master Zhan ordered the Plague Fierce Beast.
“Roar~~”
The Plague Fierce Beast looked at Ling Xiao, then pounced on him.
Puchi!
When Wan Yanjun, Shangguan Lei and Chen Zui had completely given up all hope, something inexplicable that stunned them happened.
A sword pierced through the Plague Fierce Beast’s neck, which emitted an ice-cold aura.
Roar~~
The Plague Fierce Beast howled in pain.
Even though its entire body was as hard as iron, it still had a weak spot, and that weak spot was that handful of fur below its neck.
When fighting, the Plague Fierce Beast always protected this place very well. It was basically impossible for the enemy to get a chance to attack that location.
However, it was careless when attacking Ling Xiao.
It had never thought that this prey would suddenly become a hunter. Moreover, the other party would pierce its weak spot so accurately.
“Ling Xiao!”
“How is this kid still fine?!”
“Very good!”
Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei were simply crying tears of joy.
Even if they were beaten to death, they would have never thought that the one to pull strongly against a crazy tide and give them hope would be Ling Xiao, an outer disciple!
This was too unreasonable!
Although it was unreasonable, since it was not a dream, this was an excellent thing for them.
From the abyss of despair, they once again set foot on a bit of hope. They were so happy that they even forgot the pain for the moment.
“Die!”
After the sword pierced through the body of Plague Fierce Beast, Ling Xiao didn’t stop. His sword trembled and emitted terrifying power, which was like a gust of fierce wind and cut the Plague Fierce Beast into pieces.
“Wind Celestial Phenomena-Sever!”
This was a move with condensed Wind Celestial Phenomena above ordinary sword moves.
Naturally, he had just conceived this move, but the result was very outstanding.
A Plague Fierce Beast was killed in a single sword move. Although it was stabbed at the weak sport, such a terrifying power directly tore the Plague Fierce Beast’s body into pieces.
Upon seeing this scene, the expression of Valley Master Zhan, who had always shown a confident smile as if the victory was in his grasp, had a great change.
He frowned and looked at Ling Xiao.
Dressed in black clothing, he was clean and not soiled by a speck of dust.
The long black hair that hung down on his shoulder was fluttering on its own even though there was no wind.
His black eyes were as deep as the sea, impenetrable and full of power.
And the sword in his hand was ice-cold, ruthless and sharp!
“Good job, Junior Brother Ling!”
“Ling Xiao, save us, and from here onwards, in the Inner Sect, we will back you!”
“Yes, if this task is successful, we’ll even give you half of the rewards!”
Upon seeing Ling Xiao easily kill the Plague Fierce Beast, Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei were even more delighted.
However, it was unknown whether they had truly lost their mind or not, at this very moment, their tone was still filled with arrogance.
It showed a strong sense of superiority.
Ling Xiao ignored them, just looked at Valley Master Zhan.
He was able to kill the Plague Fierce Beast in one move because of the other party’s carelessness.
However, this Valley Master Zhan was not that easy to deal with. It would be impossible to deal with the other party without using some of his true skills.
“Kid, your performance truly surprised me. How about you joining us and serving our Lord together with me?”
Valley Master Zhan looked at the corpse of the Plague Fierce Beast that was cut into pieces, but he was not angry. He instead looked at Ling Xiao and said so.
“Join you all? Are there any conditions?”
Ling Xiao indifferently asked.
“You can rest assured. Our Lord likes talented people the most. As long as you kill those three people, you will be regarded as our Lord’s subject.”
Valley Master Zhan replied.
“This condition is not difficult, but wouldn’t I need to die as well?”
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
“Hahaha, Little Brother, you are joking, right? What I said just now is only directed against those three trashes. You are not a trash. Your most precious things are your soul and abilities. As for those three trashes, only their bodies are useful.”
Valley Master Zhan laughed heartily and said.
Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei felt very vexed inwardly upon hearing the words of the Valley Master Zhan.
They, however, were the inner disciples of the Moonlight Sect, Rank Three Transcendent Realm powerhouses.
Even within the Inner Sect, they belonged to mid-grade talents. There were plenty of disciples that were worse than them.
And Ling Xiao was just an outer disciple.
However, this monster actually said that they three were trashes. Could it be that the three of them were inferior to Ling Xiao?
Even if that was the case, they still deceived themselves and refused to believe this fact.
