Chapter 51: Punishing Qin Fang (2/2)

A bright and resplendent sword light shone. Although it was not amazingly eye-catching, the sword light was still quite bright.

“No!” The remaining man screamed in despair but that did nothing to stop the sword from piercing through his throat.

The remaining man was now dead.

Mu Rongyue felt drained after killing the man. She had unleashed her potential and forced out the ‘Fleeting Sword’ attack. She had not predicted that she would succeed, and she did not expect that this attack would consume so much energy. She felt as if she had been sucked dry.

A glint flashed across Qin Yu’s eyes as he looked at Mu Rongyue in surprise and happiness.

“Xiao Yue, it’s great that you’re able to comprehend this attack in such a short period of time. Although you are lacking in some areas, you’re already very brilliant.”

“Huff.” Mu Rongyue panted and a smile emerged on her face. “It was pure luck, I don’t know if I could still do the same next time.” After she spoke, the grin on her face froze as her eyes looked towards the mountain and her brows knitted together. “Da Ge, there are people coming over from that side. What should we do?”

Qin Yu had also discovered people coming over and there were more than one or two of them. The aura that they were emitting was extremely strong as well.

“We leave.” Qin Yu decided resolutely. With so many strong cultivators coming over, the best plan was to leave. Before he left, he searched Qin Fang and the other two dead men thoroughly. He took the Golden Silk Armour and also the fireflies within their body.

This allowed Mu Rongyue to see how greedy Qin Yu was. He was looting better than real bandits.

“Whoosh whoosh…”

Qin Yu and Murong Yue had just left when more than ten men rushed in from all directions and landed at the place where they had fought.

However, there was no one present, and even the three bodies had sunk into the ground and disappeared.

“No one?”

The men felt curious. However, when they looked around them, shock emerged on their faces. There was an utter mess around them and they could not find a single tree that survived the battle. They could tell the sheer intensity of the fight which had taken place just now.

They fought so intensely – there had definitely been a precious treasure. It was a pity that they were late and nothing was left.

“Let’s go, we came late.” At this moment, someone spoke depressedly.

“Ah, what a pity.” Another man sighed. “Let’s go.”

“Go? Where are you going? All of you will be staying here!” A shout came from the mountain peak. A black figure, resembling a black whirlwind, came from above and whirled towards them ferociously.

“No, it’s them, escape!” One of them seemed to recognize the black figures. They were a group of murderous demons.

“Run.” The rest of them responded and all of them mustered their fastest speed and escaped in all directions.

“Trying to flee? Kill! Leave none of them alive!”

With that roar, black whirlwinds emerged from all directions in the dense forest and attacked the cultivators who were attempting to escape.

Immediately, agonizing screams resounded as the young elites died one by one.

With no exception, all of the fireflies within their bodies were retrieved. Their bodies were abandoned, and they merged into the earth beneath them, returning to where they had come from.

Luosang City, the battle arena at the City Master Hall.

The spectator stands were still packed. Countless people stared at the Illusory Battlefield above the arena with serious faces.

For this Array, they could only see a few thousand meters into the Illusory Battlefield from the entrance. Once the people entered the vast mountain ranges, they could not be seen anymore. They were clueless about the things that had happened to the elites of Luosang City.

However, there was one thing which they knew. If someone died inside, their body would drop down from above and fall onto the arena.

At this moment, the Illusory Battlefield above the arena started to shake again. The chests of those below tightened as their hearts almost leaped into their throats.

Based on their previous experience, if the Battlefield shook, a body would drop from above. This is already the fifth body to drop in the past few days.

Twelve elites from Luosang City had entered the Array and five of them had died within a short span of a few days. That was almost half of them. At this rate, would there even be anyone alive after three months?

This time around, who was the one who died?

Soon, the shaking of the Battlefield above intensified and a slit cracked open in the air. A body plummeted down and landed on the arena with a thump.

With that thump, the hearts of countless people jumped. Those on the spectator stands tiptoed and stretched their necks to catch a glimpse of the bodies on the arena.

“Qin Fang!” Someone yelled loudly.

“What? That’s impossible!” Qin Zong, the head of the Qin family, stood up immediately and emitted a terrifying aura. His cold gaze shot towards the body on the arena.
