Chapter 373: There Are Still Many Good People in the Diabolical Sect

Chapter 373: There Are Still Many Good People in the Diabolical Sect

Confusion spread across Xiao Si's face.

In the decade or so since he joined the Dark King Sect, he had naturally killed many people. There were certainly those unafraid of death, but this was the first time he encountered someone so willing.

Since the other party claimed that he was the target, whether it was true or not, he couldn't let him go.

So Xiao Si drew his dark silver saber and raised it high.

Alright, alright. Since you're so cooperative, I'll make sure to kill you in one strike and ensure that you leave this world with no pain at all.

Wei Xi was happily waiting for the other person to take him to safety, but unexpectedly, the person drew a saber.

There are no enemies around though. Who is he going to slash? Could it be me? These questions flashed through Wei Xi's mind.

Seeing the blade coming down, his blood ran cold. It was aimed right at him!

Wei Xi's body went limp, and he turned to dodge. But Xiao Si, even at his weakest, was at the early stage of the fourth realm. How could an old man at the first realm escape from him?

Seeing the target trying to flee, Xiao Si finally smiled.

This looks correct. If he isn't even afraid when the saber is upon him, I would suspect it's a trap.

The gleaming blade rose, catching the light in a dazzling arc.

This was a mission personally assigned by the Elder of White-Bone Mountain. Anyone who succeeded in eliminating the target would undoubtedly earn significant merit.

Today is my day to earn merit! Just as this thought crossed Xiao Si's mind, a low, strange roar sounded beside him.

"Roar—"

A flash of green crossed his peripheral vision as a large green python lunged at Xiao Si, biting into his upper body. The sharp fangs embedded into his shoulder and chest, and blood spurted out instantly!

A shadowy figure in black robes darted swiftly from the distance—it was none other than Chu Liang, the master of the Ghost-Face Chamber!

Like them, Chu Liang had been aimlessly searching the valley. Suddenly, the sounds of battle reached his ears, and he sprinted towards the commotion. However, by the time he arrived, the fight had shifted elsewhere, leaving behind only a chaotic tangle of broken trees.

He hadn't walked far before spotting Xiao Si, poised to strike with his saber, aiming to kill an elderly man dressed in official robes.

This was naturally the target.

In a state of panic, Chu Liang swiftly deployed the Green Leaf enchanted tool! The movement-restricting form of the enchanted tool, the azure python, immediately coiled around Xiao Si, restraining him tightly!

Xiao Si, caught in the python's jaws, struggled furiously. He slashed at its mouth with his saber, only to discover that the creature wasn't made of flesh and blood—it was solid metal.

It turned out to be an enchanted tool! Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

He frantically channeled his cultivation power, using all his strength to break free, and the azure python disappeared with a flash of light.

Chu Liang landed softly.

"Chamber Master..." Xiao Si lay weakly on the ground, "Someone ambushed me just now."

Blood pooled on the ground, and half of Xiao Si’s body was nearly torn apart. Though he managed to break free, he lost the ability to move.

He might have realized it was Chu Liang who had unleashed the enchanted tool, but in his current state, it was safer to pretend he didn't know.

If he exposed Chu Liang, he would surely die.

Chu Liang looked at him and said with a smile, "It's okay, take a rest."

With that, he struck Xiao Si's neck with a swift knifehand strike, causing him to immediately faint.

Chu Liang then casually picked him up, turned to the frightened old man sitting on the ground, and asked, "Are you Chief Officer Wei?"

Hearing this, Wei Xi almost burst into tears. During this sudden ordeal, Chu Liang was the first person to address him by his official title—the first civilized person he had encountered.

"I am..." Wei Xi replied. "Are you also one of the good people from the diabolical sect? Are you here to save me?"

"Yes," Chu Liang nodded, thinking to himself that this old man was quite perceptive.

Wei Xi felt a wave of relief wash over him as he thought to himself, There are still many good people in the diabolical sect.

...

Chu Liang cautiously moved forward with Wei Xi, making their way to the edge of the valley. Just as they were about to leave, the sounds of battle suddenly echoed from up ahead.

"Chief Officer Wei, stay here for now and don't move."

Suddenly, the companion thrust out a sword!

A sword? The divine envoy's pupils dilated in surprise. Among the four divine envoys of the demon race, none used a sword.

Only human cultivators from the nine provinces preferred such fragile weapons.

He raised his giant bow to block, but Chu Liang suddenly flickered a few zhang away.

Swoosh—

Chu Liang had used Dimension Compression!

In an instant, Chu Liang reappeared behind the divine envoy and drove his sword into its back!

The Dustless Sword, infused with Geng Metal foundational qi, cut through the envoy’s flesh with brutal force. Thanks to the bronze mask he had acquired, Chu Liang managed a surprise attack.

The sword pierced through the very body that Zhang Chen and Zhuge Guanxing had struggled for so long to severely injure!

"Roar—"

Even as the divine envoy's heart was pierced, he continued to struggle. His powerful muscles clamped down on the Dustless Sword as if it were cast from divine iron, firmly embedding it deep within. With a sudden, fierce twist, the divine envoy swung both the sword and Chu Liang around in the air! Chu Liang couldn’t maintain his grip and was flung into the sky.

In a flash of light, the divine envoy transformed into a massive brown wolf, towering several zhang high. Its sharp eyes blazed with a fierce, menacing glare at Chu Liang.

This cunning human scoundrel! He disguised himself as my companion and inflicted severe wounds on me! I must kill him!

Demonic creatures from the Far West were inherently fierce, never backing down even in the direst of situations!

Filled with boundless hatred, the massive wolf leaped into the air, viciously lunging at Chu Liang.

But Chu Liang wasn’t about to wait around to be killed.

He immediately ignited blood-red qi flames around his body, activating the Divine Dragons’ Great Blood-Burning Technique and fusing a Dragon-Blood Crystal into his bloodstream, driving his power to its absolute peak!

Just as the giant wolf was about to devour him, he performed Dimension Compression once more!

Swoosh—

In a flicker, he appeared beside the massive wolf’s back.

As soon as Chu Liang’s Dustless Sword pierced the demon envoy’s back, the divine envoy revealed its true form. Using its powerful muscles, it clamped down on the sword. As a result, its heart wasn't severely injured.

Then, by enlarging its body, the Dustless Sword's blade was no longer big enough to penetrate its heart.

This was how it managed to escape death.

However, with the sword embedded deep in his back, the envoy suffered significant damage and its movements were severely hindered. Chu Liang seized the hilt of the Dustless Sword and infused his foundational qi into the sword.

"Heavenly Sword Seal!"

Swish!

A huge sword light suddenly illuminated around the Dustless Sword.

At the same time, Zhang Chen, finally free from his previous tasks, pointed a finger at the giant wolf in midair and shouted, "Freeze!"

In that instant, the wolf was momentarily immobilized.

This perfect timing coincided with Chu Liang activating the Heavenly Sword Seal, controlling it with precise skill.

With Zhang Chen’s excellent support, the giant wolf was left vulnerable, unable to resist the relentless attack from the sword embedded in its body.

Everyone present then witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.

Chu Liang slashed the wolf demon with a massive sword!

The massive sword light arced through the air, cleaving the giant wolf in two with a thunderous crash! After a brief pause, the sword light continued its relentless path, crashing into the shattered mountain wall and splattering it with streaks of blood.

Amidst the rain of blood, Chu Liang gently descended to the ground.

Though he was still wearing the bronze mask, his aura unmistakably revealed his true identity—he was Chu Liang of the Mount Shu Sect!

As Zhang Chen and Zhuge Guanxing, the two prodigious disciples stared at him, they both felt confused.

This person... Isn't he an undercover agent within the diabolical sect? When did he also become part of the demon race?

Is there anything he can't do?
