A Surprise
For the Great Desolate Dynasty, the core area of the Flame Beast Mountain Range was located in the center of a small mountain range between the Ying Tian Sect and the Great Desolate Dynasty.
This area was surrounded by the Great Desolate Dynasty and the Ying Tian Sect. At the core area, there were at most some Level 3 Flame Beasts. As for the Level 4 Flame Beasts that occasionally wandered out, they were all killed by the experts of the Ying Tian Sect.
This area belonged to the Ying Tian Sect and the Ying Tian Academy.
At this moment, on one of the mountain ranges, a girl in pink was fighting with a Level 3 Flame Beast.
This girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, but her cultivation level had already reached the peak of the Mystic Rank. She held a crimson longsword in her hand and was fighting with a Level 3 Flame Beast.
Although the Level 3 Flame Beast the girl was facing was the weakest type, the Early Level 3 Blackwater Kingsnake, it still had the combat power of an Honorable Rank. Although the girl's cultivation level was higher than her peers, she was still unable to challenge a Level 3 Flame Beast. However, the longsword in her hand seemed to be a Half Spirit Treasure and its power was not ordinary, allowing the girl to barely survive.
"Damn it, this Blackwater Kingsnake has the strength of an Honorable Rank. It's much stronger than me. I can barely use the Startling Cloud Sword to survive, but I'll still be defeated after a while. I've already sent out a distress signal, why aren't Senior Brother Mo and the rest here yet?!"
Bai Ling was extremely anxious. She was an outer disciple of the Ying Tian Sect and followed Senior Brother Mo to the Flame Beast Mountain Range to train. However, she did not expect to be separated from Senior Brother Mo and the rest during an attack by Flame Beasts. Then, she encountered the Blackwater Kingsnake and could only send out a distress signal. However, the terrain of the Flame Beast Mountain Range was too complicated, and it was not easy to find her.
In her anxiety, Bai Ling suddenly saw a figure flying towards her. Her face immediately lit up with joy, but when the skinny young man came closer, she frowned, "Mystic Eight Star?"
She was at the peak of the Mystic Rank, and with the sect's treasure, the Startling Cloud Sword, she could barely contend with the Blackwater Kingsnake, let alone an Eight Star Mystic Rank.
"Hey! That person, don't come over. You're only an Eight Star Xuan Grade and you're no match for this Flame Beast. Hurry up and leave. Go get some help for me. "Bai Ling shouted when she saw the skinny young man approaching.
The skinny young man acted as if he hadn't heard her words. He continued to fly towards the Blackwater Kingsnake.
Bai Ling furrowed her brows and said angrily, "Didn't you hear what I said? You're so weak. It's fine if you lose your life, but if you anger the Blackwater Kingsnake, even I will be implicated."
"Noisy!"
The skinny young man said calmly. In the blink of an eye, he was already near the Blackwater Kingsnake.
Just as Bai Ling was about to get angry, a terrifying aura exploded from the young man's body. He slammed his palm down on the Blackwater Kingsnake's head. His palm was as sharp as a knife, and the Blackwater Kingsnake's scales were shattered by this attack. The snake's head was chopped off, and blood splattered everywhere.
Bai Ling found it hard to believe that the young man in front of her had killed the Blackwater Kingsnake so cleanly.
After killing the Blackwater Kingsnake, the skinny young man landed steadily on the ground. He took out a black disc from his chest, and the number on it had changed to 23.
"23 Flame Beasts now. Not bad." The skinny young man nodded, and a satisfied look appeared on his face.
This young man was naturally Gu Xuan. Since entering the Flame Beast Mountain Range for half a month, Gu Xuan had been continuously killing Flame Beasts. With Yun Xi's sensing ability, it was easy for her to pick out the weakest Level 3 Flame Beasts. His efficiency should have been very fast, but Gu Xuan didn't spend all his time killing Flame Beasts. He spent most of his time cultivating.
Although the effects of the elixir had been reduced, fighting with Revered Level Flame Beasts was still very helpful for his cultivation. Therefore, his cultivation speed was more or less the same as before. In half a month's time, Gu Xuan's cultivation had reached the peak of Eight Star Profound Grade.
"Let's continue to search elsewhere." Gu Xuan put the Demon Executioner Disc back into his chest and turned around.
"Stop!" Bai Ling suddenly shouted when she saw Gu Xuan turn around.
Gu Xuan turned around and frowned slightly, "Now that the Flame Beasts have been killed, do you have anything else to do?"
"You saved me. Aren't you going to ask for my name?" Bai Ling said with some displeasure.
"There's no need." Gu Xuan shook his head, "I was just passing by. I needed to kill Flame Beasts anyway, and I didn't deliberately save you. Moreover, from today onwards, you and I have nothing to do with each other. What's the point of knowing this?"
Hearing Gu Xuan's indifferent tone, Bai Ling's heart became even angrier. She originally felt grateful towards Gu Xuan, and wanted to introduce Gu Xuan to Senior Brother Mo to repay his kindness, but Gu Xuan actually completely ignored her existence.
She, Bai Ling, was quite famous in the Outer Sect of the Ying Tian Sect. She had cultivated to the peak of Black Grade at the age of sixteen. Moreover, her appearance was outstanding. Many people secretly had feelings for her. Even Senior Brother Mo, who was quite famous in the Inner Sect, had a good impression of her.
However, ever since Gu Xuan had arrived, he hadn't even looked at her properly. After saving her, he didn't even give up the chance to curry favor with her. This made her feel very angry and humiliated.
"My name is Bai Ling, an Outer Sect disciple of the Ying Tian Sect. Since you saved me, I am going to recommend you to Senior Brother Mo and give you a chance to join the Ying Tian Sect."
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested." Gu Xuan's face revealed a trace of impatience. To him, every moment of cultivation was incomparably precious. He had no interest in talking nonsense with this kind of person.
Although the Ying Tian Sect was a large sect that ruled over a few dynasties nearby, Gu Xuan wasn't very interested in this kind of small sect that had just risen in the past hundred years. The reason he was going to the Ying Tian Academy was because of Yue Er.
"This lady wants you to go. You have to go even if you don't want to!" The white-collar lady gritted her teeth and stabbed her sword towards Gu Xuan.
Clang!
When the longsword was not far from Gu Xuan's body, Gu Xuan stretched out two fingers and caught it. No matter how hard Bai Ling tried, she couldn't break free.
"I hope you don't provoke me." Gu Xuan looked at Bai Ling with a cold gaze.
He, Gu Xuan, had never been a merciful person. This time, he saved Bai Ling only to kill the Flame Beast. If it weren't for this, he might have just watched the Blackwater Kingsnake kill Bai Ling without doing anything.
And if this Bai Ling really infuriated him, he wouldn't hesitate to directly kill her.
Feeling Gu Xuan's gaze, Bai Ling also felt a little cold. However, she still put up a strong front and said, "Hey, let go of my Startling Cloud Sword!"
"Startling Cloud Sword?"
After hearing these three words, Gu Xuan's face suddenly changed. He looked at the longsword in front of him and his eyes revealed a look of ecstasy.
The Startling Cloud Sword. This was the longsword that he had forged for his second disciple, Mo Jingyun.
