Chapter 1704: Late Night Killings
"From what I can see, we are now powerful enough to attack Tenshou! Killing that kid will not change anything... The only thing that we can do right now is to keep an eye on him! The way he acts will determine our plan! You will be the one in charge of this matter. Please pay your utmost attention to it!" said Luo Qiongcang.
"I understand! I will take this factor into my consideration!" said Luo Puti while nodding her head.
.....
At Black Tortoise Land.
Deep in the one-hundred-thousand mountains.
Su Xiaoman lit up the woods with fire and took some food and water to Ao Liancheng.
"Thank you..."
Though Ao Liancheng had regained his consciousness, his injuries were still quite severe. He was too weak to continue the journey, which was why he had to stop and rest during the night.
"You are most welcome! It's my fault anyway... You wouldn't have suffered from these injuries if I didn't accidentally shoot down your spacecraft!" said Su Xiaoman while leaning on the white lion.
"Where is my friend? How come I didn't see him?" asked Ao Liancheng.
"He went and pee. I guess he will come back here in a while."
"That sure is a long peeing session."
"I will go look for him if you are worried about him! I feel that he is not that powerful. He will be had if he comes across enemies who are more powerful than him!"
"Look for him? I think better not. You are a girl after all! Things could get real awkward if you see him peeing!"
"You are right... Let's wait for a little while longer..." replied Su Xiaoman with her face blushed.
As for Ao Liancheng, he would turn around and look at the darker side of the forest from time to time, obviously worried about Chen Xiaobei's safety. Unlike Su Xiaoman, Ao Liancheng knew that Chen Xiaoebei was no ordinary person. Everything that he did had a reason behind it. It was for these reasons that Ao Liancheng stopped Su Xiaoman from looking for Chen Xiaobei. He did not want her to interrupt Chen Xiaobei's plan.
........
Around ten miles back.
A group of Tenshou Warriors were shining their lights in the forest frantically looking for something.
"This is such a troublesome task... Are they really asking us to look for a couple of people in these one-hundred-thousand mountains? This is no different from looking for a needle in a stack of needles!" said one of the warriors.
"You are right! It would be impossible for us to look for them here!"
"Idiots! Are the two of you okay?! Tell me, are you guys serious in looking for the targets? Do you guys know how dangerous these targets are?!" said the commander who walked at the frontline.
"About this..."
"The targets that we need to look this time are elites from the Nine Zones Earth Leaderboard, and they are supposed to hunt the Giant Barbaric Tiger! I'm pretty sure that they have countless powerful elites with them! If we do find them, I'm quite sure we will die a horrible death!"
"The commander is right about that! The Giant Barbaric Tiger is the kind of creature with an Earth God's strength! Even if they are not Earth Gods, they would have surely brought along Earth-God grade instruments with them!"
"If that's the case, I think we should stop looking for them! When compared to our precious lives, those rewards are not worth it at the end of the day!"
"No! I will go look for them! After all, we can use this opportunity to earn some glory for ourselves!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"According to the latest intel, amongst the targets, there's a person named Chen Zhufeng! He is ranked eleventh on the leaderboard!"
"Eleventh? That would mean he is as powerful as Lin Qingfeng... at least 300,000 combat power! He is actually weaker than our commander!"
"Strength and cultivation are not as important! The most important thing is the people behind their backs! I don't think we can afford to mess with them!"
"Let me finish my words! Lin Qingfeng has Divine Dragon Starfield as her support! I'm pretty sure that she will bring someone powerful with her! However, Chen Zhufeng comes from a low-tier starfield! He doesn't have anyone supporting him! Kill him and we will be able to get our reward!"
"He comes from a lower-tier starfield? Does that mean Chen Zhufeng is the weakest among them?"
"Of course! Chen Zhufeng's combat power is even weaker than our commander's! We just need to look for him and our commander will tear him into pieces! By that time, we will be able to carry his head to claim our reward!"
"Let's find him quick since all of you know that the reward is waiting for us! Chen Zhufeng is our money bag now! Find him, kill him, and we will be rich!"
Phish!
Suddenly, the sound of skin tearing could be heard. A young man in a black suit appeared right in front of the Tenshou Warrior without any warning. The young man was holding a ghost mask in his left hand and a black saber on his right hand. Before anyone realized it, the saber had already penetrated the commander's chest.
"Who... Who are you... When did you appear in front of us... Are... Are you a human or a ghost?" exclaimed the stunned commander.
Earlier, they were all shining lights in the forest to chase the darkness away and none of them had spotted anyone around them.
"Aren't you the one who wants to kill me? I'm here now, but you fail to recognize me! What an irony!" said the young man in an ice-cold voice.
"You are... Chen... Chen..."
The commander finally figured who the person was. Blood was gushing out from his mouth and wounds as he talked. He stopped breathing before he could call out the young man's full name.
"You are Chen Zhu..."
The rest of the nine warriors were left in shock. As compared to the young man, all of these remaining Tenshou Warriors were weaker than him by many folds.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Three slashes were unleashed before they could finish their sentence. The attack was so swift that none of the Tenshou Warriors could catch a glimpse of it, let alone block the attack!
Phish!
Phish!
Phish!
All nine of them were decapitated!
A platoon of Tenshou Warriors destroyed in mere seconds!
"Damn right you are! I'm Chen Zhufeng!" said the young man while putting away his saber.
