Rescuing Murong Yue

The Taoist Monk who was engulfed in the deadly Demonic Qi rushed forth . Instantly, a panicked shout came from behind .

“Beware, stay away from him!”

Thankfully, the warning came in time and someone amidst the shocked crowd reacted instantly .

“Get lost!”

A young man roared and charged out from behind the chubby and fair middle-aged man and the old Taoist Monk . Sword energy exploded wildly, and from the moment he drew his sword to the moment when he resheathed it, the naked blade was never seen . Rather, only a storm of sword qi could be observed .

The man who was screaming for help fell onto the floor with a “plop” . Red and black blood flowed from his body, forming a gigantic pool .

The sword was incredibly fast!

Everyone looked towards the young man with fear in their eyes .

“Move aside . ” From the back, an old man wearing a Pill Master robe rushed forward . He was the one who yelled for everyone to be careful .

“Master Dan . ” The Taoist Monk and the chubby middle-aged man greeted him respectfully, suggesting that the man was of a high position .

Master Dan nodded at the two men and solemnly walked over to the rotting corpse shrouded in black air . He struck out with his palm, and a silvery-white light shot onto the corpse . The black air surrounding the corpse dissipated and the decomposition of the corpse was halted .

After he was done with this corpse, Master Dan walked towards another corpse that was so thoroughly decomposed that it was unrecognizable . He struck again and removed the Demonic black Qi from it .

After looking at his skills, the surrounding people deeply admired and revered him .

“Master Dan is getting better and better with his detoxification methods . I am impressed . ” The chubby middle-aged man stepped forward with a smile on his face and spoke with admiration .

“You flatter me, Your Royal Highness . ” Master Dan turned around and bowed slightly to the middle-aged man .

“Master Dan, what poison is this?” The old Taoist Monk came forward as well . He frowned deeply as he stared at the two corpses .

“Yin Demonic Qi, in its purest form . ” Master Dan looked towards the two corpses with furrowed brows .

“Almost n.o.body would dare to touch this sort of Yin Demonic Qi . How did they even get poisoned by it?”

Naturally, the Taoist Monk was clueless too, and could only look for the disciple standing beside him .

“Master, these two corpses actually came from the illusionary battlefield . One of the juniors went to touch the corpses surrounded by the black Qi and…” A disciple of higher status hurriedly answered .

He did not need to finish his sentence for everyone to know what had happened .

“Does the Slaughter Array contains Yin Demonic Qi?” Master Dan asked as he looked at the Taoist Monk in doubt .

The old Taoist Monk shook his head .

“No, it's impossible for that . ”

“There's only one explanation then – someone is using the Yin Demonic Qi as an attack within the Slaughter Array . If this is true, it will pose a huge threat to our people . ” Master Dan spoke seriously .

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat . He was anxious . Grooming the group of one hundred elites took effort . If they were all to die in such a tragic manner inside, arranging this Slaughter Array would be equivalent to sabotaging themselves .

“Master, this can't do . Can you please think of a way to resolve this?” The middle-aged man said worriedly .

Master Dan's agitated expressions slowly turned gentler as he nodded .

“Worry not, Your Royal Highness . The man's usage of the Yin Demonic Qi is not mature enough and I still have ways to resolve this . I have some pills which could cure the poison . However, I only have a limited number of them, and so they cannot be used on everyone . I suggest that we send the ten strongest men to hunt down the man using the Yin Demonic Qi . ”

“Royal father, I'll go . ” The young man who had shown his impressive sword skills earlier dashed forward and asked with a deep voice . He had longed to enter the Slaughter Array for a long time but was not allowed to previously .

The middle-aged man looked towards the das.h.i.+ng and strapping young man and a glimpse of hesitance flashed in his eyes .

“Rui-er, the Slaughter Array is extremely deadly and dangerous . You… …”

“Father, are you doubting my ability? Even if we include the one hundred elites that you groomed, there's few of amongst them who can rival me . ” The young man ground his teeth and looked dissatisfied . He wanted to show off his skills within the Slaughter Array and experience trials that involved life and death . He was a cultivator, not a flower which grew in a greenhouse .

To a cultivator like him, over-protection would limit his growth .

“Father, you're a pract.i.tioner of Martial Arts as well . You should know that a cultivator has to undergo countless dangerous trials to become stronger and have a tougher mentality . Over-protection is only going to harm me . ” The young man debated with persistence .

“This…” The middle-aged man was stunned and sighed with resignation .

“Fine, I promise you that you will lead this hunting team . However, you have to be extremely cautious . ”

“Thank you, Father . ” The young man was overjoyed . He couldn't care less about his father's warning of being careful . He was confident that he needn't be wary within the Slaughter Array with skills like his . Others were the ones who should be careful .

Three days had already pa.s.sed within the Slaughter Array .

Qin Yu exhaled with great force within a mountain cave . He raised his hand and wiped off the sweat on his forehead and cursed .

“d.a.m.n, finally gotten rid of that d.a.m.ned bug . ”

Three days . Qin Yu took a whopping three days to refine and kill the bug . He finally regained all of his internal energy which was absorbed by the bug .

Now he had known that he underestimated the strength of this sort of fire bug . An average Martial Arts pract.i.tioner could not get rid of it at all .

However, he was impressed by the Earth Spirit Pearl as it engulfed over hundreds of that bug and only took three days to refine all of them . Not only had it recovered the energy which it had lost, it had also advanced . The surface of the pearl now had three green markings and was a pearl in the Third Tier .

Of course, Qin Yu had reaped some benefits as well . This type of bug was an energy-carrying body as well . Refining it helps greatly in increasing one's abilities . If this bug was full of internal energy before it was s.n.a.t.c.hed away for refinement, it's effects would be greatly boosted .

There now seemed to be hope for him to advance into the Immersion Realm within the Slaughter Array .

Qin Yu was already devising a scheme to rob others of the energy-carrying fire bug .

“Miss, do leave now! I will block them!” Suddenly, loud shouting came from the back of the mountain, followed by intense clashes of weapons .

Killing was normal within the Slaughter Array . Qin Yu thought little of it and had prepared to leave for the center of the Slaughter Array . Only the center of the Slaughter Array would there be plenty of fire bugs .

“Arghhh……” A scream pierced through the air . Someone seemed to have died .

“Yang Ji, no!” A girl cried out, grief evident in her voice .

Upon hearing that voice, Qin Yu's footsteps halted suddenly as he spun around . His sharp gaze shot towards the back of the mountain .

“Litte Yue . ”

That voice – it was Mu Rongyue .

How did she come in as well?

Qin Yu quickly pushed these thoughts to the back of his mind, and in a flash, he merged with the winds and left in a whoosh .

He quickly flew over the peak of the mountain . Glancing downwards, he saw Mu Rongyue and a young man clad in blue fight off four other black-clad men on the mountain slope . The four men were dressed just like the Hunters which Qin Yu had met previously .

Beside them, few bloodied corpses were sinking into the ground and disappearing gradually . Those who died within the Slaughter Array would automatically sink into the ground and get transmitted back to where they had entered .

“Miss, leave quickly, leave!” The young man in blue hollered as he put his life on the line to block the attacks from three of the men . His body was covered with bruises and injuries .

“No, Ruo Feng, we will leave together . So many had already died because of me, I can't let the same happen to you!” Mu Rongyue ground her teeth and waved her saber around in a crazed manner, causing the man who was fighting her to retreat .

“Help me!” The man was thrown into panic and had to ask for aid .

Amongst the three men who were fighting the young man clad in blue, one of them jumped out of the battle with a feint and readied himself to attack Mu Rongyue .

“Stay here!” The young man in blue screamed madly and actually ignored a strike from his opponents . Instead, he chose to direct his knife towards the man who had just jumped away, and he slashed at him without caring for anything else .

“No, Ruo Feng!” Mu Rongyue's scream turned into cries as she leaped towards the young man in an attempt to aid him .

“Leaving isn't that easy . ” The man who was previously fl.u.s.tered immediately retaliated and dashed towards Mu Rongyue's back . His sword attacked ruthlessly .

Mu Rongyue had ignored it and her sword was directly aimed at the Hunter who was about to strike the back of youth in blue .

“Argh!” A terrifying scream broke out as the young man's crazy strike sliced off the arm of the Hunter who had previously leaped away from the battle .

At the same time, another Hunter struck the young man from behind with his palm and the young man was blasted away due to the huge impact . Another Hunter was blocked by Mu Rongyue and he had to focus on fighting Mu Rongyue . Otherwise, the young man would have died from the Hunter's cut .

Although Mu Rongyue had blocked a strike for the young man, the Hunter who had chased her from behind had already sunk his blade into her clothes within a split second .

Mu Rongyue could clearly feel the intense pain from the skin on her back . It was the feeling of being pierced by a sword . She sunk into coldness as a death-like suffocation enveloped her entire body .

Am I just going to die like this?

A miserable grin was etched on her intricate face . Before she died, a young, delicate and prideful face flashed before her eyes .

Qin Yu, the person she acknowledged as her G.o.d-brother .

Was this nostalgia before death, or was this an illusion?

“Brother, is that you?”

“Get lost!” Airwaves formed by his loud roar rolled around chaotically . A whirlwind with a ferocious aura crashed down from the mountain peak . Trees and gra.s.s in the surroundings shook crazily, and blood-red light erupted from within the terrifying whirlwind . Blade-light flew everywhere, bringing about a storm of rain and blood .

When the chaos was over, the Hunters found that Mu Rongyue had been whipped away by a young man dressed in gray .

There was now a huge hole in the abdomen of the hunter who had attacked Mu Rongyue from behind . He had long turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y corpse sprawled on the floor .

Defiant Martial G.o.d Rescuing Murong Yue The Taoist Monk who was engulfed in the deadly Demonic Qi rushed forth .
