Chapter 373: 373
Xue Wei frowned . Why were there only Five Vermilion Birds?
Looking around, he found that the rest of the Vermilion Bird Clan members were all knocked unconscious .
Looking at the opponents, Xue Wei was not too surprised about the loss . Two groups had joined hands, and these two groups had two Earth Saints, alongside numerous Ordinary Saints .
While the Vermillion Bird Clan was strong, they were unable to withstand such an onslaught . The only fortunate thing was that they had not been killed . The ones who were attacking them wished to take them prisoner . Was there perhaps a way to tame Sovereign Beasts?
Thinking like this, Xue Wei’s eyes narrowed . He had promised the Leader of the Sovereign Beast Clan that he would look after them . If they all got kidnapped when he was watching, he would never be able to look at the man again, not to mention the guilt he would be feeling would likely stop his cultivation progress in the future .
"Everyone, save the birds!" he called out, and before the others had the time to react, Xue Wei’s group attacked with a ferociousness that took them all by surprise . A relentlessness that spelled horror to the opponents .
Hei Gou, who was an Earth Saint himself, pinned down the two Earth Saints that had attacked the Vermilion Bird Clan .

Their faces turned dark, their hands tightening their grip on their weapons and teeth grinding against one another .
How could one single person stall two of them? He was even smiling mockingly, and every move was made casually as if it took him no effort to delay them .
The others were also feeling dread when they saw this big group of people emerge . At first, they had not taken them seriously, but they had honed their skills through countless battles within the Ascended’s Realm, and especially the struggle against the Scarlet Bees had made them all much more fierce .
Now they did not hesitate to take the lives of their opponents . Blood was flowing in rivers, the scent permeated the air, making many beasts and humans in the surrounding areas curious as to what could have caused this .
When they arrived, no one joined the battle . Instead, they were observing, hoping to reap the fisherman’s benefits .
Unfortunately, they soon understood that this was not an even battle that would leave someone weak afterward . This was a one-sided slaughter!
The battle did not last long; after a few minutes, the remaining people from the ones who had pressured the Vermilion Bird Clan noticed how things were going and tried to flee .
Unfortunately, many of them died in the attempt . Turning their backs at their opponents was a must when wanting to flee, and these people of Xue Wei did not feel it beneath them to stab others in the back .
This was a battlefield, and letting these people escape could end up causing everlasting problems if they found someone else to protect them, or returned home and wished to get revenge later against Chang’an or the Vermilion Bird Clan .
The fact that they had dared to try and catch them showed that their backing in no way was inferior to the Vermilion Bird Clan . Hence Xue Wei wanted them eliminated .
"Kill!" he called out, and a murderous killing intent started rolling from his body, shrouding everyone present in a killing frenzy .
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Everyone from Xue Wei’s group felt their blood boil before they charged at the fleeing people, their eyes red from bloodlust, and no one was able to get far before they suddenly felt themselves caught .
One after another, they were falling to the ground, and even the two Earth Saints were unable to escape in the end .
Hei Gou had done a quick work out of them when he became serious .
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough these people were Earth Saints, their foundations were not as sturdy as Hei Gou’s; neither could they defeat his mutated bloodline, and they were taken by surprise, their throats slashed by the claws on Hei Gou’s hands .
Now that they all had died, the bloodlust slowly subsided, and while some of the humans were frightened by their own ferocity, most of them were feeling excited .
The fact that they were able to unleash their own strength in this way, under the guidance of the bloodlust made their blood boil with excitement .
Although they were aware that the reason they could do this was because of Xue Wei, they did not think that anything was wrong with this . Xue Wei was the Leader of their group, after all .
During the battle, he had dealt with the majority of the people; he had easily crushed people at his own level and Ordinary Saints, crushing them with his physical strength alone .
"let’s see the spoils of war," Xue Wei grinned as he began ruminating through the corpses, finding their storage treasures, and started looking through them .
"Oh, they came from Autumn!" he said happily . "These storage treasures are bursting with spiritual fruits . How lucky we are!"
The people from Wang Xiaoyun’s group heard what Xue Wei said and was stunned . Then they started laughing . Some of them had wanted to go to Autumn, but because Xue Wei wasn’t interested in going there, they went to Spring instead .
Now they had encountered a group of people who handed over the things they had wanted from Autumn . This was simply the best of all worlds .
Xue Wei split the treasures between everyone, including the five awake vermilion birds who had participated in the fight .
