Chapter 44

The death of Senior Sister Qin left Young Master Qingluo equally shocked!

He could hardly believe it was true, but the oppressive Senior Sister Qin had truly vanished.

A single flame, and a person turned to ashes.

Facing Junior Sister Xu's water sword, he was completely unprepared. By the time he reacted, the water sword was already in front of him.

Trying to dodge was too late.

In a hurry, Young Master Qingluo's mind raced, and a green mist enveloped his body once again.

"Puff"

The water sword instantly turned into a mist of water. Junior Sister Xu, missing her target, suddenly shouted and produced a green talisman in her hand.

The talisman was imprinted with a vivid dragon.

A Profound-level talisman!

And it was a high-level Profound-level talisman!

If hit by this talisman, the consequences would be dire...

Fear gripped Young Master Qingluo's heart. Just as he was about to use the talisman with the small seal to strike first, the man surnamed Tu waved his hand, and an invisible force instantly bound Junior Sister Xu's hands.

"Junior Sister Xu, I am also deeply saddened by Senior Sister Qin's death, but now is the time for us to work together. We have strong enemies outside, and we absolutely cannot fight among ourselves at this moment!" Senior Brother Tu's words carried an unyielding tone.

Now, Senior Brother Tu was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator among the four, and the leadership naturally fell to him.

Junior Sister Xu, who had been dispatched to extract the Jade Tiger's blood, was a highly cultivated disciple in the Spring Rain Valley. She quickly regained her composure: "Senior Brother Tu is right. I was rash just now."

"Junior Sister Xu, there's no need to apologize. Anyone in this situation would react the same way!" Senior Brother Tu waved his hand, magnanimously.

Young Master Qingluo, watching the exchange, felt uncomfortable. He was the victim, after all. At such a critical moment, his protective treasure had been used up, reducing his chances of survival.

But seeing Lei Mo, who also looked unfriendly, standing to the side, he swallowed his anger.

We'll settle this later!

"Three junior brothers, we may think Master Ma's death was an accident, but Senior Sister Qin's subsequent death cannot be an accident. Fang Ling has a strange treasure, and we must be extremely cautious to kill this beast!"

Senior Brother Tu glanced at Young Master Qingluo and said, "Junior Brother Qingluo, among us, you have the most protective treasures. You lead the way, I will support from the middle. Junior Sister Xu and Junior Brother Lei Mo will cover the rear."

"Senior Brother Tu, my protective treasures are also used up..." Young Master Qingluo almost exploded with anger at Senior Brother Tu's arrangement.

I have the most protective treasures, but as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you can control magical weapons. Why don't you lead the way?

Moreover, he knew that Lishan Palace had a secret technique that could temporarily double one's defensive capabilities when used.

But he swallowed these words halfway.

Because he noticed a hint of killing intent in Senior Brother Tu's eyes.

This killing intent made Young Master Qingluo suddenly realize that his life was now in Senior Brother Tu's hands.

If Senior Brother Tu said he wanted to kill him, he would have no chance of escape.

"Senior Brother is right!" Young Master Qingluo clasped his hands and said.

The four walked forward in a triangular formation, with Young Master Qingluo at the front. With every step, he was filled with unease.

"That guy must not attack me first!" he prayed silently, feeling fear towards Fang Ling.

In fact, it wasn't just Young Master Qingluo; the others also felt fear towards the elusive Fang Ling, who had already killed Foundation Establishment cultivators like Master Ma and Senior Sister Qin.

...

In the small space of Jingyang Ridge, there was no day or night. Fang Ling sat in a cave, tightly wrapping a long white cloth around his abdominal wound.

The wound was about half a foot long. If the water sword had advanced another inch, it would have pierced through Fang Ling's abdomen.

Although he had applied the best medicine to the wound, blood still flowed continuously. But this pain was worth it to Fang Ling. Although his abdomen bore a scar, he had sent Junior Sister Xu directly to hell.

He hadn't seen Junior Sister Xu's face clearly.

But in a situation where it was either him or her, Fang Ling couldn't afford to be picky. From the moment he entered Jingyang Ridge, he had resolved to leave everyone behind!

There were still three left, and Young Master Qingluo had quite a bit of luck.

He had originally targeted Young Master Qingluo, but unexpectedly, just as he was about to force him into a trap, Junior Sister Xu suddenly rushed out. Although she stabbed him with a sword, she was also forced into the trap.

Taking a pill from his pocket, Fang Ling swallowed it. Although he could enter the Western Suburb Dusty Map to recover his internal energy, the three, including Young Master Qingluo, had already covered a significant distance, and he couldn't afford to waste time.

As a pure breath of energy rose from his abdomen, Fang Ling felt refreshed again. He confirmed his position and began preparing the next ambush.

After reviewing the correct path on the map, a meticulous plan formed in Fang Ling's mind. The three previous ambushes had given him a general understanding of the dangerous areas in the Jingyang Ridge space.

There weren't many venomous snakes left, so he had to use them sparingly!

Sighing, Fang Ling moved toward the next location.

...

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

Senior Brother Tu, pale-faced, waved a small flag, and rolling flames turned a dozen green wolves into ashes.

Originally, with Senior Brother Tu's cultivation, he could have easily killed these green wolves with his sword. However, having already suffered a loss from the wolf tide, he now chose the simplest and fastest method to eliminate these threats.

He feared that he or Lei Mo might make a mistake, and the cost of a mistake was too high.

Thirty feet away, a few green wolves approached Lei Mo to save some internal energy. Senior Brother Tu and Lei Mo didn't pay much attention to these ordinary green wolves.

But at that moment, two zombies suddenly emerged from the ground, attacking Lei Mo fiercely.

Lei Mo could ignore the green wolves, but he couldn't ignore the venomous zombies. He dodged a few feet, and in that distance, a spatial rift cut off half of his hair.

Such a situation made Senior Brother Tu's heart chill.

So he developed a habit: as soon as he detected an attack, he would eliminate it immediately.

As the green wolves turned to ashes, the surroundings instantly became quiet, and neither other attacks nor Fang Ling appeared.

This made Senior Brother Tu breathe a sigh of relief.

Lei Mo had a long wound on his face, which, though not deep, was still bleeding.

"Senior Brother, this can't go on!" Lei Mo, standing in front of Senior Brother Tu, said with a hint of fear in his voice.

Though he was talented, he hadn't experienced much, and these repeated attacks had instilled a sense of fear in him.

"What do you suggest?" Young Master Qingluo's face was cold. His once elegant white robe was now riddled with holes, and he didn't even have the time to fix his hair.

Lei Mo gave Young Master Qingluo a cold look and said loudly, "Make peace, we should make peace with him. I believe that if we offer him a good deal, he will agree to peace!"

"Peace? How can we make peace? Lei Mo, use your head. How can we make peace at this moment?" Young Master Qingluo's words were filled with madness.

Fang Ling's main attacks were directed at him, so he had faced more death threats than Lei Mo. Being a naturally arrogant person, he couldn't bear to hear Lei Mo's words after enduring so much pressure.

"How can we not make peace? We haven't offended him; you have. If we offer him your head, he might agree to peace!" Lei Mo pointed at Young Master Qingluo and said, "It's all because of you, this bastard. We came here to extract the Jade Tiger's blood, which was already dangerous enough."

"Instead of keeping a low profile, you brought us such a powerful enemy. Tell me, isn't everything your fault?!"

Young Master Qingluo's face was twisted, but he had to admit that Lei Mo had a point. Now, he hated the Chen family father and son as much as he hated Fang Ling.

If not for them, how would he have provoked such a strange person?

In this space, he had actually killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Master Ma and Senior Sister Qin, who were not weaklings even in the sect, had been killed by someone who hadn't even reached the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation!

If he could go back in time, he would never have offended that young man for a woman.

But that was impossible now!

"Senior Brother Tu, you know that Lei Mo's idea is just a fantasy. He won't agree to peace. Think about it, after all the effort he put in to kill two Senior Sisters from the Spring Rain Valley and Master Ma, would he believe your offer of peace?"

Young Master Qingluo looked at Senior Brother Tu with urgency, his voice loud, trying to convince him.

But Senior Brother Tu's face was calm, and this calmness made Young Master Qingluo's heart tremble.

Under normal circumstances, Young Master Qingluo wouldn't believe that Senior Brother Tu would dare to kill him. But in this situation, who would care about who?

For a moment, his heart tightened.

"Senior Brother Tu, you have more experience. If only your Lishan Palace people make it out, our Nine Lotus Sect and Spring Rain Valley will not let this matter rest..."

Young Master Qingluo suddenly threw something and quickly retreated.
