…
In the secret realm, many sect disciples were fighting constantly.
From time to time, battle sounds echoed through the dense forest.
While everyone maintained an amicable face outside the secret realm, who could restrain their desires with heavenly treasures?
“You disciple of the Heavenly Might Sect! You killed my Junior Sister; we are irreconcilable!”
“It’s survival of the fittest. If you can kill me, come and try! Hahaha!”
Within the dense forest, a young man in a grey robe from the Heavenly Might Sect, wielding a sword, looked triumphant. In his left hand, he gripped a top-grade blue spirit stone.
In front of him, a young man in silver-scale armor was holding a bleeding girl in his arms, tears streaming down her cheeks.
“For the sake of this top-grade spirit stone, I’ve been following you for half a day, and I waited until you fell alone before I could take you out.” The Heavenly Might Sect cultivator sneered and put the spirit stone into his storage ring.
Then, he shook off the blood on his sword and walked toward him again.
The young man’s eyes were filled with rage.
He gritted his teeth, grabbed a long spear from the ground, and dashed toward the Heavenly Might Sect disciple.
“I’ll kill you!"
“Haha, you’re right. Today, I’ll kill you both and erase all traces!” The man laughed loudly.
His profound Qi immediately surged, revealing the late-stage Attaining Profound Realm!
However, the young man was only in the early stage of Attaining Profound Realm. When he thrust his spear, it failed to penetrate the man’s defences.
The man released his sword Qi, instantly shattering the young man’s spiritual Qi.
The young man spat out blood and was blown away.
He sustained serious injuries, making him unable to gather even a trace of his spiritual Qi.
“Is this the end for me, Long Yang?...”
Long Yang collapsed on the ground, blood seeping out of his mouth. His eyes turned to the lifeless girl beside him, despair welling up in his heart.
“Hahahaha, your Dragon Thunder Sect has repeatedly ruined our Heavenly Might Sect affairs. So, our sect master has instructed us that if any Dragon Thunder Sect disciple shows up alone, he must be killed on sight!”
The man laughed heartily, his sword flashed with cold light, “Your Junior Sister is quite attractive; it’s a pity she died like this. After I kill you, I’ll use her while it’s hot, hahaha.”
"You!”
Long Yang’s heart exploded with anger. However, when he moved with rage, his lungs swelled, and he coughed up more blood.
“Die!”
The man shouted, his sword aimed directly at Long Yang’s heart.
“Stop!”
As the situation reached a critical point, Ye Fan and Chen Bin’s voices echoed nearby.
The Heavenly Might Sect disciple hesitated.
After all, seeing the robes of the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect disciples on Ye Fan and Chen Bin, a look of horror spread across his face.
He hurriedly turned around and bowed respectfully.
“It turns out the Senior Brothers from the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect. I’m Zhou Hong of the Heavenly Might Sect, greeting both of you.”
Long Yang felt he had found a saviour when he saw Ye Fan and Chen Bin.
He hurriedly shouted, “Senior Brothers of the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect, save me! Zhou Hong killed my Junior Sister, stole our treasures, and now he wants to kill me and destroy the evidence!”
"The Senior Brothers of the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect must not let him go!”
Ye Fan and Chen Bin exchanged glances.
They had just escaped Lu Qingqing’s chase, and to be honest, they had long been exhausted, and their Spiritual Qi was depleted.
But, having witnessed a robbery and murder, their sense of justice flooded their hearts. Without much thought for a moment, they stepped forward.
However, being on the verge of exhaustion, Ye Fan and Chen Bin knew they had little strength left.
But still, they decided that pretending to be a tiger and scaring this man off would be the best outcome.
“Ahem, Senior Brothers of the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect. These two Dragon Thunder Sect disciples had eyes on the treasure in my hands. They attempted to ambush me, but I managed to turn the tables and kill them. Now, they are slandering me!” Zhou Hong declared with righteousness. “These two are truly the scum of the righteous path, tarnishing the name of justice!”
'F*ck, you’re the scum of the righteous path.’
Ye Fan and Chen Bin twitched their mouths, wishing they could beat Zhou Hong to a pulp.
But their strength was waning, and they had no other options.
The duo knew they were a thin layer away from losing their current realm. Aside from that, their current strength was similar to a mortal’s.
“Senior Brothers, don’t be deceived by this man! My Junior Sister and I are only at the early stage of Attaining Profound Realm. How could we dare to snatch opportunities from him?” Long Yang’s eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and said, “Moreover, we disciples of the Dragon Thunder Sect act with dignity, answering to the heavens above and the earth below. We would never commit such shameless acts!”
"Nonsense! I will handle this righteous scum for you, Senior Brothers!” Zhou Hong’s expression changed, and he was about to make his move.
“Did you not hear me telling you to stop?” Ye Fan and Chen Bin were shocked, hastily shouting.
“Ah, it’s...” Afraid of their identities and the fact that they possess the Condensation Profound Realm cultivation base, Zhou Hong dared not act recklessly.
“The Holy Heaven and Earth Sect will handle this matter. We will take this Dragon Thunder Sect disciple back with us for now!” Ye Fan cleared his throat, pretending to be composed.
Zhou Hong was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn’t dare look for trouble. He could only laugh sarcastically.
But soon, when he saw Ye Fan and Chen Bin assisting Long Yang and walking into the distance, a trace of doubt flashed in Zhou Hong’s eyes.
“Uh, Senior Brothers?"
“Huh?” Ye Fan and Chen Bin’s bodies trembled as they stiffly turned their heads.
“The sect’s gathering location is far from here. Why not use a flying sword to fly back?”
"This...” Ye Fan and Chen Bin looked panicked.
The duo’s flying swords were destroyed, and there wasn’t a shred of spiritual Qi on their bodies.
How could they fly back?
“Oh? You two, could it be that you are brats from nowhere, daring to pretend to be Holy Heaven and Earth disciples?”
Seeing the panic on the duo’s faces, Zhou Hong sneered.
“Or... If my guess is correct, you have almost exhausted your spiritual Qi, right?”
'Oh no! We’ve been exposed!’
Ye Fan and Chen Bin exchanged glances, seeing panic in each other’s eyes.
In the secret realm, life and death were determined by fate, especially in such secluded circumstances. Whoever stood last would have the final say.
Zhou Hong, even if he killed Ye Fan and Chen Bin and disposed of their bodies, no one would know he had killed two Holy Heaven and Earth Sect disciples. Moreover, demonic and evil cultivators were also present in the secret realm. He could easily shift the blame onto those cultivators.
“Hehe, pretending to be the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect disciples is a capital offense!"
“Today, I will uphold the righteous path and exterminate you two little thieves for the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect!”
Zhou Hong’s face twisted into a sinister smile, his spiritual Qi surging!
Just as he was about to unleash his profound techniques to kill Ye Fan and Chen Bin, an invisible aura suddenly enveloped Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong shivered, feeling like an invisible hand had pressed him forcefully into the ground.
“Oh? You want to kill my Holy Heaven and Earth Sect’s disciples to uphold the righteous path?”
“You’re an ant with a lot of guts."
An indifferent voice rang from above.
Looking at the handsome man descending from the sky like a divine being, Ye Fan and Chen Bin instantly wept joyfully. They threw themselves on the ground, crying miserably.
“Lord Holy Son!”
"Oohoo, Lord Holy Son has come to save us!”
"Lord Holy Son, if you hadn’t come, we would have died here!”
Seeing the two disciples kneeling and crying at his feet, Xu Ze’s mouth twitched imperceptibly.
What’s going on here?
When did you two end up together?
And how did you end up in such a miserable state?
Even the Attaining Profound Realm cannon fodder could step on the protagonist like you.
