"Dammit!" Feeling his body gradually weakening, Xu Changqing said unwillingly. At the same time, panic started to appear on his usually calm face. The combined attack from Ma Zhong and the other two was no small matter. If he was hit by it, even he would most likely lose his life.
But under such a situation, Xu Changqing had no other choice. If he let go, he would receive the backlash from the Mysterious Wood Sword. At that time, he would be heavily injured and be at the mercy of others. If he didn't let go, he could only wait for death.
"Xu Changqing, it's useless for you to regret it now!"
Seeing Xu Changqing's usually calm face turn into a panicked expression, Ma Zhong mocked. His smile was filled with savagery.
To him right now, there was only one word that could be used to describe this. He wanted to see Xu Changqing being stabbed to death. Only then could he satisfy his craving and relieve the anger he felt back then.
His only regret was that Xing Jue wasn't here. If Xing Jue was here, he could finish off Xing Jue as well. That would be satisfying.
"Soul-slaying Sword, Sword Qi!"
But just at that moment, a shout suddenly rang out behind them. Turning their heads to look, they saw two crescent-shaped dark black Sword Qi shooting towards the three of them and the elder from the Wind Thunder Valley.
After feeling the terrifying energy within the Sword Qi, Ma Zhong's expression changed greatly. But at that moment, he had no other choice but to watch as the Sword Qi slashed towards him.
"Gather the Martial Qi behind your backs!"
With no other choice, Ma Zhong suddenly shouted. Under his reminder, the other two disciples gathered their Martial Qi behind their backs.
* Bang, bang! *
Along with two muffled sounds, Ma Zhong and the other two, as well as the elder from the Wind Thunder Valley, were fiercely struck by the two Sword Qi. At the same time, large mouthfuls of blood sprayed out as they powerlessly laid on the ground.
The four of them were first struck by Xing Jue's "Soul-slaying Sword, Sword Qi", then they received the backlash from the power they sent out. At that moment, they could be said to have suffered extremely heavy injuries. They didn't even have the strength to climb up.
"Xing Jue, why are you here?"
Looking at the black-clothed young man standing on the hill, Xu Changqing was a little confused but also extremely excited. He never thought that Xing Jue would appear at such a crucial moment. If it wasn't for Xing Jue, he would be the one lying on the ground right now.
"Senior Xu, it seems that I arrived just in time!" Seeing that his attack was successful, Xing Jue also chuckled and walked towards Xu Changqing and the others.
In fact, after Xing Jue had set off from the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters, he had rushed here without stopping. When he had arrived nearby, he had spread out his Soul Strength in order to find their exact location. In the end, he had locked onto them.
When Xing Jue arrived, it just so happened that the few of them had entered into a battle of attrition. Seeing that, Xing Jue did not hesitate in the slightest and launched an attack. Thus, the scene from before happened.
"Oh, isn't this the main palace disciple of the NanGong Nobles? Why are you acting like this?" Coming to Xu Changqing's side, Xing Jue looked at Ma Zhong and the others who were lying on the ground and laughed mockingly.
"Xing Jue, you … dare to … attack us … Aren't you … afraid of causing a war between the two forces?" Seeing that it was actually Xing Jue who attacked them, Ma Zhong could be said to be extremely furious. However, at that moment, he didn't dare to get angry at Xing Jue. Instead, he used his weak voice and said slowly.
In fact, he was very afraid. He was afraid that Xing Jue and Xu Changqing would kill them. Therefore, he intentionally mentioned the relationship between the NanGong Nobles and Yufeng Pavilion, hoping that Xing Jue and Xu Changqing would consider this and let them go.
After hearing Ma Zhong's words, Xing Jue pretended to be extremely afraid and said, "Of course I am afraid. I am afraid to die."
Unknowingly, looking at Xing Jue's terrified expression, Ma Zhong's heart became even more uneasy. However, at that moment, he had no other choice but to pray that Xing Jue was really afraid of causing trouble.
"However, that will only work if you spread the news."
At that moment, Xing Jue's expression instantly turned cold. He clenched his right hand and the black Soul Slasher appeared once again.
Seeing the Soul Slasher in Xing Jue's hand, Ma Zhong also felt that something was wrong. Immediately, he shook his wrist and a communication talisman appeared.
When he saw the Soul Slasher, Ma Zhong knew that they were doomed. However, Ma Zhong was a sinister person. Even if he were to die, he would not let Xing Jue and the others have an easy time.
"Not good!" When he saw the communication talisman, Xu Changqing shouted in fear. He knew that it was the communication talisman used to contact the NanGong Nobles.
As for Ma Zhong and the others, they were the main palace disciples of the NanGong Nobles. Moreover, they were on an important mission this time. If they crushed the communication talisman, it was highly possible that they would attract the attention of Battle-King experts. At that time, even if they wanted to escape, they would not be able to.
"Puff, puff, puff."
However, before Ma Zhong could crush the communication talisman, Xing Jue had already appeared beside the three of them like a ghost. With a gentle swing of the Soul Slasher in his hand, the throats of the three of them were slit open. When the sword light flashed past, the heads of the three of them tilted to one side and they were no longer breathing.
"Junior Xing Jue, what a fast movement technique!"
When he saw that Xing Jue had killed Ma Zhong and the other two in the blink of an eye, Xu Changqing sucked in a breath of cold air. Even he was not as fast as Xing Jue.
"Hehe, Senior Xu, you flatter me. Your Mystic Wood Sword Technique is also very exquisite!" Xing Jue laughed and joked.
After that, Xing Jue looked at the dead Ma Zhong and the other two. In the end, his gaze stopped at the storage bracelets on their wrists. With a wave of his sleeve, the three storage bracelets on Ma Zhong and the other two's wrists flew into Xing Jue's hand.
This was a kind of suction method. It was created by absorbing the Martial Qi through a powerful cultivation technique. It could instantly suck the target over.
However, Xing Jue's cultivation was still shallow, so he could only absorb small items like the storage bracelets. As for Xiaoqian's powerful technique that could suck people over, it was only a kind of martial technique.
"Senior Xu, these three fellows went to the Wind Thunder Valley as guests. They must have obtained a lot of benefits!" Xing Jue laughed and took out all the items in the three storage bracelets.
"Oh my god!"
Looking at the pill that was flickering with a faint light and the various talismans on the ground, even Xing Jue sucked in a breath of cold air.
There were at least a few hundred pill here. There was the Qi Replenishing Pill, the Healing Pill, and the Detoxification Pill. Amongst these pills, the lowest one was a Middle Grade Profound Rank Pill. There were even ten Low Grade Earth Rank Pill. The Low Grade Earth Rank Pill was an extremely precious item.
Furthermore, there were also a few hundred talismans. There were the essential talismans for exploration and treasure hunting, the 'Light Talisman', the 'Protective Talisman' for defense, and the talismans for offense.
Although the level of these talismans was on the low side and they weren't very useful to them, it was still very good to give it to their friends of lower levels to defend themselves.
"Wah, there are so many pill!"
At this moment, Elder Liu from the merchant association also walked over. At this moment, he had already killed the elder from the Wind Thunder Valley. Looking at the pill in front of him, even his expression couldn't help but change greatly as he exclaimed in shock.
"Hehe, Senior Xu, this elder can be considered as our spoils of war. Let's divide him!" Xing Jue laughed and said generously.
"How can this be? If it wasn't for the two of you, I'm afraid that I would have been killed by them. Therefore, I can't take this pill. You two can divide it!" After hearing Xing Jue's words, Elder Liu hurriedly declined. However, even though he said that, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the pill on the ground.
"Elder Liu's words are strange. As the saying goes, those who saw it have a share. Moreover, you also contributed greatly in successfully killing them. Therefore, you must take these."
Seeing this, Xing Jue laughed. Immediately, he divided the pill and talismans on the ground into three portions according to their level. One portion was kept in his storage bracelet, while the other was kept by Xu Changqing.
"Since that's the case, this old man won't stand on ceremony!"
Seeing that there was still one portion on the ground, Elder Liu laughed after hesitating for a moment. Immediately, he waved his sleeve and kept the portion on the ground into his storage bracelet.
"That's right, Xing Jue, that elder from the Wind Thunder Valley also has a storage bracelet. However, the strange thing is that this storage bracelet can't be opened." After keeping the pill, Elder Liu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Elder Zhang's face was practically cramping from smiling.
However, it was also because of this that he took out the storage bracelet that he obtained from the elder from the Wind Thunder Valley. Originally, he wanted to take it back and study it. After all, this was an elder's storage bracelet and there must be many good things in it. However, since he had obtained so many benefits, he took it out in a happy mood.
"Oh? Let me see. "
Seeing this, Xu Changqing took it. However, after studying it for a long time, he still couldn't see anything different. In order to test it, he even deliberately kept his own pill.
However, even if he kept it, he couldn't take it out even if he wanted to. This made Xu Changqing extremely angry because he had just received an Upper Mystic Rank pill. Even though he was rich now, that Upper Mystic Rank pill still made his heart ache.
"What rubbish is this? Just destroy it!"
In a fit of rage, Xu Changqing tossed the storage bracelet with his right hand. Immediately after, he pulled out the Mysterious Wood Sword from his back and ruthlessly slashed at the storage bracelet with a sideways slash.
"Clang."
However, accompanied by a crisp sound, although the storage bracelet was slashed away, it didn't suffer any damage.
"Senior Xu, why are you so angry? Even if this storage bracelet can't be used, it is indeed very beautiful. It's not bad to give it to a girl as a token of love."
Seeing this, Xing Jue leaped up and took the storage bracelet in his hand. Immediately, he said to Xu Changqing with a smile.
"Haha, since Xing Jue likes it so much, then you can keep this storage bracelet." Seeing that Xing Jue seemed to be very interested, Elder Liu said with a smile.
At this moment, he had obtained so many benefits that a storage bracelet that couldn't be opened was meaningless to him. He might as well do a favor. After all, without Xing Jue, he wouldn't be able to obtain so many benefits.
