Agh~!

The skies were filled with the cries of those dying. Zhuo Fan wielded the demonic sword like a certified reaper, taking life after life in his hunt for Beast Taming Sect Ethereal Stage experts, all while the enemy was panicking. Every time the enemy even tried mounting a counterattack, the golden dragon would step in with its fire breath.

It was akin to David and Goliath, with the expection here being that the giant had its arms and legs stuck, letting the tiny guy peel away. The sect had all that power yet it was unable to put it to use.

How were they supposed to know he had a crowd control skill?

They all looked helpless, while Zhuo Fan was bouncing around the battlefield for more lives to take.

The golden flame wall was just too tough to crack.

Sect Leader, weve got heavy casualties. It has only been half an hour and yet a hundred Ethereal Stage experts are dead. We cant keep doing this or well all die!

An elder reported in panic, pleading all the while.

Sect Leader gnashed his teeth, Why, why cant all the power Beast Taming Sect employed deal with just one d.a.m.n brat?

Sect Leader, hes just that strong, with hardly anyone his match. Also

A venerable bowed, Our power is based on our beasts. The sect might have fewer experts but by working with our spirit animal, we double our power, no less stronger than the Demon Scheming Sect. But in this current situation, our spirit animals are rendered useless by the enemys devious tricks. They are scared to death and wont come out. This is the real reason why we cant do anything. So

Sect Leader looked at him, What are you trying to say?

Sect Leader, in this situation, we cant use all our potential. Stepping down wont be a disgrace. Our image will stand

Bulls.h.i.+t!

Sect Leader cursed, Youre saying its fine for brats to barge into a great sect? Spirit animals aside, we have more than two hundred experts here, yet we still failed? No matter how you look at it, the rumors will be anything but pretty!

The man jerked but still muttered, Sect Leader, what then? Does sir want to lose everyone?

As the wailing continued in the background and the stage took a more and more p.r.o.nounced red hue as body parts were flung away, Sect Leader took a deep breath with a tightened frown.

[What do I do? Give up and let some brat conquer a sect? Well become the laughingstock of western lands!]

Sect Leader!

As he was stuck in a conundrum, another shout came, and the newcomers eyes flashed, Isnt the Crescent Pool in the Abyssal Swamp? As long as we trap him inside, no matter how strong he is, hell end up as bleached bones. Lets draw him there, then

Sect Leaders eyes lit up, he nodded and grinned, Ha-ha-ha, great. Didnt he want to go to our eden? Then let him become its fertilizer.

Though we will need a proper bait for a monster like him. Eyes flas.h.i.+ng, Sect Leader glanced over. Zhuo Fan was still having a field day, killing all over the place. Just a thousand meters behind him, three weaklings stood.

Frowning, Sect Leader said, I found our bait. Since they came with the kid, they must be connected. But which among them is the most effective?

Sect Leader, why not get all three?

Three?

Yes. The man whispered in Sect Leaders ear, to which he nodded and grinned, Well do just as you said!

The man bowed and went to work

In the meantime, Zhuo Fans kill count only grew, the situation developing completely opposite of when he faced the Universal Righteous Sect. He was relaxed and fast, with the Ethereal Stage experts unable to surround him. Adding to that was the strongest souls help, Decimating Golden Heaven Dragon King.

He had been fighting for so long yet not one attack reached him. The slaughter was completely one-sided.

Scared by this development, the other sides mounting casualties forced them to withdraw, making the battle s.h.i.+ft further away as Zhuo Fan and his dragon soul were chasing them.

Sixth prince and the Touba siblings ducked in a forest, looking at the chaos, Thats my idol, beating Beast Taming Sect by himself. What do you guys think, will Sir Zhuo kill them all?

With his nasty temper? Its more than likely. Tuoba Liufeng paused then nodded, I used to think he was a strong and shrewd marshal, but his strength is beyond anything Ive seen. And its only been eight short years. If he returns to Tianyu then I swear to never battle Tianyu in this life.

The sixth prince nodded, all excited. Only Lianers mind was elsewhere as her cheeks turned rosy

Whoos.h.!.+

Three white-haired elders appeared behind them just then, grabbing them by the throat.

Agh! You

Sixth prince cried out, only to be choked as the elder covered his mouth.

Even with Zhuo Fan so far away, he was still aware enough for the cry to reach his ears.

Zhuo Fan shook and stopped his chase. Turning around, he saw three panicking looks and the elders panicked faces.

He spotted us! Run!

The elders turned away with their hostages. Sect Leader shouted and the men surrounding Zhuo Fan scattered.

Baiting?

Zhuo Fan frowned and called the dragon soul back to him. He now understood why they were falling back while he pushed on. It was all to distance him from the trio and capture them.

Though they miscalculated.

[Do they really think I care?]

While the trio were getting further and further away, Sect Leader was gloating, Zhuo Fan, if you want them alive, follow me.

Sect Leader left.

But I don-, huh Zhuo Fan saw n.o.body around him for miles and scratched his head, There was no point in doing that. They came here by themselves. It has nothing to do with me. I havent the slightest inclination to fall for your trap for them.

Zhuo Fan pondered, then came to a decision.

[Their business, their problems. Knock yourselves out.]

Zhuo Fan ignored everything and looked at the flower spirit, Point the way to your birthplace.

Afraid of Zhuo Fan, the spirit pointed to Zhuo Fans right where all people fled.

Zhuo Fan went that way too, but only because the paths intersected.

Whoosh~

Half an hour later, in a place filled with flowers, a stone platform a meter wide with three pillars lay in the center; a thing of beauty.

Sect Leader landed first on the platform, while the rest appeared just shy of the field of flowers.

Did those elders come back? Sect Leader shouted.

Everyone shook their heads.

Sighing, Sect Leader asked, What of Zhuo Fan, is he chasing?

Another round of shaking heads.

That puzzled him greatly.

[Doesnt he want to save those three? It cant be. They came here together, so they have to be close.]

Just then three people and the elders returned. Sect Leader lit up, Tie them to the pillars, hurry! Well be trapping him soon!

Yes, sir!

The elders laughed and did as ordered.

He-he-he, the punks done for.

One elder snickered while tying his hostage. Sixth prince glared and kicked his stomach, A bunch of shameless old rats dare to trick Sir Zhuo?

Bam!

The kicked elder was caught off guard and the kick folded him, right as he fell in the field of flowers.

Everyone panicked, Look out!
