Chapter 285 - Prince Zhou

At this moment, the only Chongyun Sect disciple who remained was the eldest Senior Sect Brother.

Because his fight with Gongyi Tianheng was as unstoppable as a wildfire, he didn’t know for sure that he was the last one. However, as the surroundings became quieter and quieter, he faintly understood. Gradually, his heart sank more and more, and when he took action, he slowly stepped back into that previously calm mindset.

Tianheng’s gaze darkened. Soon after, the reddish-black and reddish-gold rays of light on the two short halberds began to flicker. His footwork was extremely fast, and it was like he had turned into several streaks of shadow. His movements became quick and urgent, which repeatedly interrupted the rhythm of that eldest Chongyun Sect disciple!

Suddenly, that eldest Chongyun Sect disciple retreated several steps, and the qi emissions around his body rose dramatically. He opened his mouth and swallowed a medicinal pill! This pill was blood-red, and it unexpectedly caused his qi energy to rise again and again!

Gu Zuo had just finished killing the other Chongyun Sect disciples. At this time, he discovered that something was wrong, and abruptly blurted out: “Fierce Blood Pill! It can double his combat power — Quick, big brother! Stop him!”

Although Tianheng didn’t recognize this pill at first, his reaction was very fast. In fact, there wasn’t any need for Gu Zuo to deliberately warn him, as he had already slapped out a palm.

In a split second, an enormous Blood Palm slammed into the eldest Chongyun Sect disciple, and grasped him firmly. At the exact same moment, Tianheng drew his longbow, and shot a series of thirteen arrows!

These thirteen arrows were shot out like a string of pearls. Each arrow disrupted the outbreak of that qi energy, and continuously weakened the other party’s qi emissions. After the thirteen arrows were launched, this eldest Senior Sect Brother suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood. He lowered his head, and looked at his own abdomen, which had been pierced. In the end, he plummeted down with eyes filled with unwillingness.

Once the eldest Chongyun Sect disciple fell to the ground, the reddish-gold power instantly enveloped him. When this ball of resplendent light scattered, all that remained on the ground was a scorched-black skeleton.

The wind blew by. This skeleton turned into countless specks of bone ash, and dissipated into the air.

Tianheng withdrew his fists. His forehead was slightly sprinkled with sweat.

Gu Zuo sensed that his big brother’s body was damp. At once, he reached out a hand to wipe away the sweat. Soon after, he took out a medicinal pill and stuffed it into Tianheng’s mouth.

There was an incredibly huge disparity in the consumption of energy between shooting thirteen arrows without stopping and shooting thirteen arrows one at a time. Even though Tianheng’s current true qi was who knew how many times more vigorous than in the past, continuously shooting thirteen arrows was equal to using sixty to seventy percent of his true qi. On top of that, there was the true qi that was previously consumed during his fight with the eldest Chongyun Sect disciple. Right now, he had less than ten percent left. If he didn’t recover as soon as possible and came across another one or two enemies, then they would have no choice but to pick an escape route while in a weakened state.

After swallowing the medicinal pill, Tianheng’s complexion greatly improved.

At this time, off to the side, the Qingyun Sect secluded disciples and the female pharmacist walked over one after another.

Gu Zuo smiled at them: “Senior Sect Brothers, Senior Sect Sister.”

Those Qingyun Sect disciples naturally expressed their gratitude to the two before anything else: “This time, we suffered a calamity. Many thanks for coming to our aid, Junior Sect Brothers. If you guys have any requests, we won’t refuse them.”

Having heard what was said, Tianheng smiled and said: “We’re all fellow disciples. Taking action and helping one another is proper and to be expected.” Then, he didn’t concern himself any further with their appreciation. He only said, “Ah Zuo and I are preoccupied with something. Since the danger has now been resolved, we won’t tarry here any longer. Senior Sect Brothers, Senior Sect Sister, farewell!”

Once he finished talking, he stamped his foot down and created a gust of wind. He had already turned around and left.

Gu Zuo turned his head, and waved his arm at them in the distance. Then, he swiftly followed Tianheng, and they disappeared together.

The two people had walked away, but they moved extremely quickly. The Qingyun Sect disciples exchanged glances. Their expressions varied.

Leaving just like this?

However, that was fine, too.

Although those two were frighteningly powerful, they weren’t familiar with one another. The other side upheld the ideal of fellow disciples and came to rescue them. If they needed to travel the same road again... It wouldn’t be appropriate. They would still be a burden to the two.

As genius personages within the Sect, they were truly unwilling to become the burden of someone else. After these Qingyun Sect disciples shook their heads, they reflected over their own shortcomings during this bitter experience just now. Soon after, they still stayed together as a group.

— It wasn’t known whether those Chongyun Sect disciples were all of them, but they had already recognized the fact that their own strengths were insufficient. If they wanted to smoothly pass through this Road of Death, they had to work hard to gather together more Qingyun Sect disciples.

Along both sides of a large road, lone peaks stood in great numbers.

Countless shadows flickered across the summits of these lone peaks as they swiftly moved onward.

The one who led them was a young man wearing a full-length changpao in black brocade. His attitude was unhurried, and the speed of his walk was neither hasty nor slow. However, with every one of his steps, he was able to cross a lone peak. On the contrary, those shadows by his side all had to incessantly change their body techniques to keep up with him.

They were also in the middle of discussing things.

“Ah Da, is that Third Zhao still biding his time?”

The young man’s voice carried a hint of ridicule. His tone of voice was somewhat heedless and indifferent. It seemed that he didn’t hold that person he mentioned in high regards.

The few people to his side slightly panted. They reported simultaneously:

“Currently, the Third Prince has incurred losses to his soldiers and commanders. Less than half of his subordinates remain.”

“It’s said that he had brought six hundred people and twelve commanders. Now, there’s a little over two hundred soldiers and five commanders left.”

“Because the damages were too great, the Third Prince has already assembled his people. He’s no longer engaging in a pursuit.”

“But in the first city, I’ve heard that he has already set up an inescapable net. He’s only waiting for them to enter the net, and he’ll swallow them whole!”

The young man in the black changpao sneered: “So many people, and yet he wasn’t able to deal with those two. His future prospects only amount to this.”

Someone inquired: “Your Majesty, shall we dispatch someone in advance to intercept them?”

The young man curled his lips: “Since I’ve been watching the excitement previously, there’s no need to deliberately get involved now. You all will follow me to the first city. If we encounter them, then it’s destiny. If not... Hah, it won’t be impossible to benefit from the others’ dispute.” Speaking up to here, he raised a lengthy brow, “What’s Xin doing over there?”

Another person reported: “Young Master Xin seems to have the same thoughts as Your Majesty.”

The young man harrumphed: “He actually isn’t stupid.”

Then, someone else seemed to sigh with some regret, and said: “This time around, the Third Prince has lost a lot of face. If he personally takes action in the first city and still can’t capture those two people, then he might need to go into seclusion for three years before this matter can be slowly suppressed.”

The young man jeered and said: “That guy has always thought highly of himself. Those who are competitive and ambitious will only feel that this world’s numerous heroes can’t enter their eyes. That morality and conduct of his is really sickening. This time, if they really can make him tumble head first, even if this mission is a failure, this prince’s heart will be gladdened.”

The people on the side spoke in respectful tones: “The number of geniuses Your Majesty has collected this time is already twenty-eight people. Only two more are needed to reach thirty. This mission can hardly challenge Your Majesty.”

Yet, hearing these words, the young man wasn’t happy. On the contrary, he raised an eyebrow: “Since I’m lacking two people, what are you all going to do about it? Hurry up, and get me people to top off the quota!”

Those subordinates of his naturally promised to do so again and again: “Your Majesty, please rest assured. We won’t disappoint Your Majesty!”

The young man waved his hand: “Don’t waste your breath. This prince isn’t worried. Speaking of which, what if that person Third Zhao couldn’t catch really is a prodigy... A prodigy who’s enemies with Third Zhao — Now, that’s just too interesting!”

While speaking, the young man’s mood became delighted. The speed of his hastened journey wasn’t slow, but his gaze would occasionally sweep across the landscape. It was somewhat leisurely and carefree.

Suddenly, his line of sight paused and fell below.

In that place, a deep-purple monster plant unfurled its leaves, which were covered in serrated teeth. It was continuously ensnaring some kind of living creature in several lengthy, tentacle-like feelers. Upon closer inspection, that creature was actually a teenager wearing purple robes. Because the color of the clothes resembled the color of that plant, if it wasn’t for the young man’s exceptional eyesight and that the purple monster plant had undergone some unusual changes, he might not have discovered this person.

But since this was discovered, the young man’s interest was slightly piqued.

If nothing else, it was because the one who struggled and resisted inside the binds of this monster plant was a very young pharmacist. His psychic power crashed down with one wave after another. Indeed, it had a bit of attacking power. This kind of skill was considered normal in some of the Central Continent’s sects, but it was certainly a rare sight among the people of the Peripheral Continents... After all, they had somewhat of an understanding of the Peripheral Continents’ circumstances. The inheritance of the spiritual path of pharmacists over there had long been broken.

With such thoughts, the young man halted his steps in a straightforward manner. Then, he slowly watched in appreciation.

That purple-robed teenager was very imperious and headstrong. Arrogance was painted upon his brows and eyes. Even if quite a bit of his flesh would be torn by the serrated leaves, even if his body would be covered in the tormenting wounds of those lengthy feelers, he still resisted endlessly. There wasn’t the least bit of intent to surrender.

Immediately following which, that monster plant’s patience seemed to run out. An enormous, crimson flower bud suddenly appeared behind it. Layers upon layers of petals opened up, ready to take a huge bite out of the teenager in the monster plant’s grasp.

In a moment, the teenager was going to fall into that gigantic maw —

Screech!

A sharp scream echoed out. A shadow had flickered in front of that monster plant, and that purple-robed teenager had already disappeared.

What remained were dozens of shredded monster plant chunks that had been torn apart by some unknown force.

Atop a mountain peak, the young man in the black changpao sized up the purple-robed teenager in front of him.

A lot of fair skin was revealed where the outer robes were damaged. When covered in rivulets of blood, it presented a pleasant contrast. Truly, it was especially beautiful.

The young man couldn’t help but want to compliment him.
