C29 – The Death of Bao Lie!
Bao Lie’s eyes sparkled with a fierce intensity.
They vowed not to return to the Black Panther Profound Warrior Group until they had slain Chu Yangxiang. If they failed to eliminate even a Three-star Profound Warrior, they would rather take their own lives.
Inside the Nine Horns Xuanwu Cauldron, Chu Yangxiang sneered coldly. “You wish to kill me, but I too seek your demise. Let’s see who will fall to whom.”
Nightfall brought increased humidity to the small valley.
The Black Panther Profound Warrior Group consumed some Pills and dry rations, taking shelter in a cave overnight.
Despite a full day’s search, Chu Yangxiang remained elusive.
As dusk settled, their guard visibly dropped.
Chu Yangxiang observed them sitting down to meditate and knew they were at their most vulnerable.
The thought that Chu Yangxiang might strike when they were most at ease never crossed their minds, especially with two Profound Warriors on watch at the cave’s mouth.
Out of the shadows, Chu Yangxiang leapt, his dagger gleaming with a chilling light as he charged at them.
The Profound Warriors, weary from the day’s toils and just beginning to meditate, were caught off guard as Chu Yangxiang burst forth.
His assault targeted the injured and poisoned Profound Warriors.
Three Profound Warriors were swiftly dispatched by Chu Yangxiang without warning.
Without hesitation, he advanced toward the cave entrance.
The two Profound Warriors standing guard were momentarily stunned, allowing Chu Yangxiang to reach the mouth of the cave.
Evading their rushed attacks, he slashed his dagger at them, severing the necks of both Profound Warriors.
Lian Ji let out a furious roar, brandishing his Long Sword as he charged at Chu Yangxiang.
Chu Yangxiang had already exited the cave, finding himself amidst the vines.
Lian Ji emerged from the cave in pursuit.
With eyes brimming with icy resolve, Chu Yangxiang thrust his dagger toward Lian Ji.
Lian Ji met him with a cold smile, his sword radiating lethal intent as it advanced on Chu Yangxiang.
Chu Yangxiang sensed an overwhelming murderous force bearing down on him. The Sword Aura sliced through the air, the Sword Aura surged skyward, making evasion a formidable challenge.
He deftly pointed his dagger at the long sword’s blade while his left hand pressed down on Lian Ji’s shoulder.
The clash between Lian Ji’s long sword and Chu Yangxiang’s dagger sent sword aura slicing through Chu Yangxiang’s garments.
A crimson line traced itself across Chu Yangxiang’s body.
Had he not mastered the Martial God Heavenly Technique, he would have sustained injuries much earlier.
Lian Ji contracted his frame, narrowly evading Chu Yangxiang’s aerial palm strike. His left hand met Chu Yangxiang’s foot with a thud.
It wasn’t just them; even Bao Lie and the gatekeeping Profound Warriors were feeling the weight of exhaustion.
Upon entering Hyphosis Mountain, they had to remain constantly alert to fend off surprise attacks from Demonic Beasts lurking in the thick underbrush. They were also on the hunt for any traces left by Luo Yufei. Their vigilance never wavered, day or night.
How could they not feel fatigued at midnight?
Chu Yangxiang, however, was brimming with vitality. The combination of Demonic Beast blood, the essence of medicines, core energy, and Luo Yufei’s impure Profound Crystal had infused him with an abundance of energy.
Chu Yangxiang clenched his jaw. The night was bound to be anything but peaceful.
He held his breath, creeping towards the cave with the stealth of a gecko.
A Profound Warrior emerged, standing at the mouth of the cave, yawning lengthily in a haze of weariness.
Chu Yangxiang, ghost-like, glided up behind him, clamping a hand over the warrior’s mouth and swiftly drawing a blade across his throat.
“Still not finished peeing?” he murmured, mimicking the warrior’s groggy tone with a simple grunt.
Chu Yangxiang then stowed the body in the Nine Horns Xuanwu Cauldron and moved to the cave entrance, taking a seat against the cave wall where he had previously been meditating.
Bao Lie addressed the three men sternly, “Snap to and muster your spirits. Otherwise, you’ll die without a clue. Got it?”
“Yes,” they responded in unison.
As Bao Lie approached the cave entrance, Chu Yangxiang rose to give him space. In that instant, Chu Yangxiang’s dagger sparked to life, streaking towards Bao Lie with the speed of lightning.
Bao Lie could never have imagined that one of his own would attempt to assassinate him, nor could he have foreseen that the individual who had just stepped out would be silently slain by Chu Yangxiang.
True to his namesake, Bao Lie’s reflexes were sharp; he swiftly moved to the side, evading danger.
The dagger grazed his neck, blood spraying in its wake.
Bao Lie threw a punch toward Chu Yangxiang’s chest, but with a shudder, Chu Yangxiang sidestepped the blow. His dagger lunged for Bao Lie’s neck once more.
Another slash, and Bao Lie’s neck bore a fresh wound.
Chu Yangxiang, without a moment’s delay, flicked his dagger, sending it streaking like a gleam of cold light straight for Black Panther’s heart.
“See clearly who I am.”
With immense force, Chu Yangxiang drove the dagger through Bao Lie’s body.
Members of the Profound Warrior Group surged toward Chu Yangxiang.
Chu Yangxiang backed out of the cave and leaped into the water once more.
Lian Ji pursued, thrusting his long sword into the pond again, but came up empty.
From inside the cave, he heard desperate cries, “Young Commander, stay strong. We’ll treat your wounds. You must endure.”
Unable to locate Chu Yangxiang in the water, Lian Ji hurriedly rose and returned to the cave, only to be met with the sight of a blood-soaked Bao Lie, which caused his face to turn pale with shock.
