Chapter 143 Battle In Night

As Zhongye Sect disciples were seething in anger, the disciples of Four Seasons Valley tested their strength on the Spirit Spring Stele.

When Ming Yuexin made her move, her power astounded everyone else.

" Holy! Who the hell she is? I thought only Saintess Mu was the prodigy of Four Seasons Valley. Who is this new girl!"

" Not only is she so beautiful, but her sword techniques are also so powerful!"

Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming with a thoughtful expression. " Brother Long, I think I can still do better. Should I try one more time?"

Long Ming looked at the crowd and shook his head. " That's fine. You don't need to go all out here."

Ming Yuexin nodded as she stepped back. Chu Li, Chen Yin, Lin Xie, and Shu Huan, all of them did their best and attacked the Spirit Spring Stele. And for their results, all of them scored more than fifty rings.

" Damn it! Since when did Four Seasons Valley disciples became so powerful?"

" They got so many rings!"

Long Ming chuckled as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Senior Sister, Are you noy going to try it?"

" Leave it, there are better places to test my strength." Mu Qinglian spoke with a faint smile.

" Hehe, I guess that's also good." Long Ming understood Mu Qinglian's intentions.

" Alright, Since our work is done here, Let's move forward." Long Ming looked at Yan Ziren and other Zhongye Sect disciples. " Well, You are free to use it now."

" Hmph!"

Shu Yanlin felt his cheeks burning with anger when he saw the smug expression of Long Ming. However, he didn't want an all out fight here. So, he only turned around and instructed his junior disciples.

After leaving that place, Long Ming looked at sky. " It's already evening. I don't think it will ok to travel in darkness." nOve(lb/In

"Indeed, We should camp here tonight." Lin Xie spoke. " Beside, It will only take a single day to explore the entire Inner Zone. As for Core Zone..."

" Didn't Grand Elder say us to stay away from Core Zone?" Chu Li looked at them and asked.

" Well, She did said that. However, Core Zone has the Herbal Sanctuary, Comprehension Pond, Beast Garden and the Flaming Mountain, which are very beneficial for even cultivators of Harmonization Realm." Chen Yin answered.

" Wouldn't it be too much of a waste if we let other sects to take advatanage of it?"

" But, Core Zone is equally dangerous."

Mu Qinglian heard the discussion and looked at Long Ming for his opinion. Long Ming waved his hands. " Alright, We will see that tomorrow. For now, Let's set up a camp."

" Huh? Brother Long, I think that place would be good."

" Hmm..." Long Ming pondered something as he nodded.

" Yes, But with a little bit of change."

It was already night, as the full moon was shining on the deep dark forest. During the night time, it was like the forest became alive.

The night was the time when most beasts became active. So, even a team filled with the best fighters and equipment will move cautiously.

However, inside the secret realm, humans can be more terrifying than demonic beasts. After all, it's easier to fend off an angry demonic beast than a smiling human with a black heart.

" Hey.... Look at that place!"

" The Four Seasons Valley disciples are there."

" I think they split into two parts. What should we do?"

" Move according to the plan."

A person spoke with a deep voice and handed out talismans.

" Here, Take these Xuan grade Concealment Talismans. With this, even a Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator would able to detect us instantly."

Slowly, they approached the place lit up with a bonfire. They could see a young man sitting with some other girls. They were even cooking some wild potatoes on the bonfire.

*XIU XIU XIU XIU XIU*

Several bolts of arrow shot at the young man as they struck in his chest.

" HAA!"

Three other also jumped out from the bushes as the brandished their weapons, slashing at the girls present there.

" Huh? What's this?"

" Wooden stumps?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw wooden stumps instead of the disciples of Four Seasons Valley. They could also see a talisman on those stumps, which turned into powder after getting attacked.

" Damn it! It's a trap!"

" Hurry and retre-"

Before the person could finish his sentence, an arrow crackling with purple lightning pierced his head, making it explode like a watermelon.

" FUCK! AMBUSH!"

" GATHER AND DEFEND!"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Chen Yin and Lin Xie jumped forward and slashed out their sword. The wind rose and ice burst forward. They didn't held back and used their full power.

*BOOM BOM*

The sudden surprise attack caught the attackers off guard. Chen Yin's sword turned into a powerful gale of wind and slashed at one of the attackers.

Blood splashed as that guy fell on the ground, and one of his arms got severed.

" Damn it!"

The one who looked like the leader turned around and plastered a talisman around his body. A protective barrier appeared around his body and his speed increased.

His broadsword burst with a powerful aura as he broke the encirclement of the disciples of Four Seasons Valley, rushing outside.

*XIU*

With a whistling noise, an arrow fell on the barrier. Although the barrier withstood the attack, the impact was enough to trip that man.

" Damn it! Chasing Wind Steps!"

The man used an agility technique and tried to get away. He never thought Four Seasons Valley would create such a trap for their enemies.

However, at that moment, the man suddenly turned around his head and the scene before him almost made his eyes pop out.

Like a pink flower blooming, a large number of purple arrows showered on him. Each of them was humming with a sharp energy,

The man coughed out a mouthful of blood as his talisman shield couldn't handle the bombardment anymore. The arrows pierced his hia back and almost made him into a hedgehog.

*BOOOM*

The man fell to the ground, someone stepped on his head and pressed it on the ground further.

" I really felt unusual when the Blissful Heaven Temple and others didn't attack us. I guess they were really waiting for the night, huh?" Long Ming snorted. He was still holding his Illusiory Lightning Bow.

Before setting up the camp, Long Ming decided to create a simple trap for hidden enemies. He knew a bonfire inside such a dark forest will attract anyone's attention.

So, he asked Luo Yingying to create some Illusion Talismans and set them around the bonfire. And then, he and others rested nearby while hiding their presence.

After all, anyone with basic intelligence would approach the place lit up with a bonfire first. It would act as an alarm for Four Seasons Valley disciples.

[ Ding! New Quest appeared! There are enemies who are trying to harm you and your companion. Eliminate the threat and emerge victorious!]

[ Quest Reward: Five Thunder Golden Talisman (Dark Gold grade)

[Failure: Your companion's death]

Long Ming narrowed his eyes when he saw that. ' Does that mean these guys aren't the only ones?'

*ROAAARRR*

A deafening roar reverberated in the nearby forest, making Long Ming frown. His Heavenly Revelation Eyes flashed as he looked at the place of roar.

" Everyone! Stay alert! Two Half step Harmonization Realm demonic beasts are approaching us!"

Long Ming didn't kill the man but threw him on the ground as bait. The girls regrouped and took out their weapons.

" Don't worry, Me and Ming Yuexin will take the vanguard." Mu Qinglian spoke.

Ming Yuexin nodded as she held her sword. Flames burst around her as a sharp sword intent rose from her body.

" Look! It's here!"

"Damn it! It's an Obsidian Rhino! And's a pair of them!"

Obsidian Rhino is a gigantic demonic beast, with pitch black skin and two horns shiny as obsidian. Their forte is in their defense, agility, and weight. There were superpowered bulldozers that could raze down anything on their way.

" Burning Sky Slash!"

" Rising Spring Torrent!"

Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian each picked an Obsidian Rhino and attacked at them. However, the other disciples didn't stay idle either.

Chen Yin and? Lin Xie lept and rushed to help Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin. Although they were weaker, they could at least give some support and lessen the burden of vanguards.

Long Ming was also planning to help them. But his pupils shrunk, and his Heavenly Revelation Eyes noticed something.

" I see... So this is the root of the problem, huh?"

.

" Hehe, Elder's warning really came in handy."

" Thank goodness we sent the Eagle Mercenary first. If it was us, we would have died already."

" Defeating two Obsidian Rhinos of Half step Harmonization Realm? They soon going to regret it."

" Hehe, After both groups injured each other, we will go and reap the rewards."

Disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple grinned as they watched the situation from afar.

" Is that so?"

With light whistling sounds, purple arrows pierced their tailbone, almost making them cripple instantly.

I remember people were complaining about Mu Qinglian's character. But why she is currently so popular tho? :sus:
