Chapter 128: Returning a Mission

“I… How could I… Die by your hands…” Mo Chen haltingly said. His eyes were filled with unwillingness. This was a result that he had never imagined at the start of the battle.

But, no matter what, the final outcome was decided. Mo Chen’s eyes finally dimmed. His two hands no longer had strength. Then Lu Xuan put the Lovesick sword away and the body came crashing down.

At this moment, there were a few footsteps. It was Xia Ye, Xing Feng, and Lin Xin Yi, who had returned.

The three had just returned here. They saw Lu Xuan take out his long sword from Mo Chen’s body. Their eyes were full of surprise, not understanding, and shock.

Previously, the flame striped tiger had charged over to here. Under Lu Xuan’s command, the three of them had already quickly run away, but they hadn’t gone too far, always waiting in the distance to check on Lu Xuan’s situation over here.

At the start, they could hear the continuous tiger roars. The three of them naturally were frightened and couldn’t help but worry for Lu Xuan. However thinking of how they wouldn’t be able to help, they could only wait from afar. Once the noises finally died down, Lu Xuan didn’t appear for a long time. They couldn’t wait any longer and wanted to come back and see what the results had been.

But this scene was completely out of their three’s expectations. They didn’t know when this group had come and why they would have a conflict, much less why Lu Xuan would be forced to kill these people

Seeing that the people who had come weren’t outsiders, Lu Xuan let out a breath of relief. After a pause he said: “They wanted to kill people and steal treasures. Among them was one of my enemies.”

“There’s no need to explain. We know what to do.” Xing Feng took the initiative to speak. Disciples killing one another was a sect taboo. If no one saw, it was fine, but if someone saw and it was reported, Lu Xuan would be in no small amount of trouble. Moreover, the people he had killed weren’t just ordinary disciples. Mo Chen was the fist faction’s third place.

Xia Ye didn’t say anything and stepped forward. He took a sword in his left and and unhesitatingly stabbed Mo Chen’s corpse twice. Seeing this, Xing Feng was surprised for a moment, understood, then similarly stabbed Mo Chen’s corpse twice. Even Lin Xin Yi, the beauty by Lu Xuan’s side, was no different and did the same.

Although the three definitely wouldn’t leak it out and Lu Xuan also believed them, with them doing it this, it made Lu Xuan even more relaxed. This represented that they were completely willing to stand on the same line as Lu Xuan.

Only the unlucky Mo Chen, the fist faction’s dignified third place, was unfortunate to have died in this back mountain, which was bad enough, but even after dying his corpse had been desecrated.

Lu Xuan walked up two steps and took off Mo Chen’s storage ring. For most body refining realm martial artists, storage rings could still be considered as a rare item. The other dead disciples didn’t have any. Probably all of their harvests were all on Mo Chen’s person.

Sending his divine sense into the storage ring, Lu Xuan discovered that other than the flame striped tiger’s corpse, there was also a few fourth and fifth level ferocious beast corpses. Most likely they were the harvest of Mo Chen and the others before. He didn’t touch any of those things. He only took the flame striped tiger corpse out.

(TN: This is the first time the author uses 神念 I’m pretty sure. So it’s not me being inconsistent with saying mental energy or whatever.)

“The ferocious beast that charged over just now just happened to be our goal, the seventh level ferocious beast flame striped tiger. It had been beaten to its last dying breath by me when Mo Chen had taken it away.”

After the flame striped tiger corpse appeared, Lu Xuan then explained to the other three.

Seeing the huge corpse, the three of them all had expressions of joy flash across their face. This was an unexpected happiness. The flame striped tiger was worth 10000 contribution points. Originally they weren’t sure if they could complete it. Who would have thought that it would send itself up. Of course, Lu Xuan had to be thanked, otherwise if them three had encountered it, let alone killing it, even escaping it would be difficult.

Mulling over Lu Xuan’s words, Xing Feng was suddenly startled. Pointing at the corpse below his feet he said: “You said, this guy is Mo Chen?”

For this past month, they hadn’t been like Lu Xuan, who was buried in bitter cultivation and had a decent understanding of the inner sect’s situation. This Mo Chen was the overall standings 31st place, but Lu Xuan could actually kill him and the others. Didn’t that mean that Lu Xuan’s true strength was far from just the overall standings 86th?

Discovering this, Xing Feng was undoubtedly shocked. Lu Xuan’s position in his heart once again increased. It was simply demonic!

In reality, while rushing the Sword Forest, if it wasn’t for Lu Xuan underestimating how strong the body of an body refining eighth level martial artist was, indeed he still could move forward a bit further.

Nodding his head slightly, Lu Xuan placed the flame striped tiger corpse into his own storage ring. Then he once again placed the storage ring on Mo Chen’s hand, and only then said: “You guys go ahead first. I’m going to go attract some ferocious beasts over and dispose of the corpses first.

The three of them nodded and left. Lu Xuan then ran off to a nearby location. Not long after, he brought back three or four ferocious beasts back. It was a group of sixth level ferocious beasts savage wolves.
