Chapter 847: Better Used As Cannon Fodder (2/2)
These people did not bother to lower their voices, nor did they bother to conceal their plan, every word reached Huang Xiaolong’s ears clearly.
The five disciples arrived in front of Huang Xiaolong, spreading out to encircle him, blocking all escape paths.
“Kid, you’ve heard what we said just now, you have two choices. One, being killed by us and having half of your point distributed between us, or two, scout the way for us like an obedient errand boy.” One of them stated with a lofty air, sneering at Huang Xiaolong, “You have one minute to think about it.”
The corner of Huang Xiaolong’s lips curved into a slight smile, “One minute? That’s too long.”
One minute was too long? The five disciples were confused.
Before they could react, a sharp light flickered in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes. Four swords made of soul force whistled in the air, piercing through four of the five disciples’ foreheads.
Four bodies plummeted to the ground.
The remaining disciple looked dazedly at the four bodies, fear slowly creeping up his face. In the next moment, he fell to his knees in the air, pleading, “Senior, have mercy, we’re disciples of the Flaming Fires Sect, please give face to our Eldest Senior Brother and spare me. Our Eldest Senior Brother is Zhang Kai, a late-Third Order Highgod Realm master. He also entered this Overflowing Lightning World.”
Zhang Kai?
On the Wangu Clan’s booklet that listed the names of some participants, he had indeed seen this name.
However, just as the Flaming Fire Sect disciple finished saying all of this, he was pulled up toward Huang Xiaolong by an invisible force. A purple character flew out from Huang Xiaolong’s eyes and drilled into the Flaming Fire Sect disciple’s soul. A moment later, the soul-scouring was completed.
Huang Xiaolong had very limited knowledge about the Overflowing Lightning World, he was hoping to obtain some information from this Flaming Fire Sect disciple’s memories.
This was the reason why he left one disciple alive, however, he was disappointed in the end. This Flaming Fire Sect disciple’s knowledge of the Overflowing Lightning World was just as much as Huang Xiaolong’s.
He then lightly tapped a finger on the disciple’s forehead and a sliver of true immortal essence fire spread over the disciple’s body, burning everything to ashes, even his soul.
Huang Xiaolong collected the five spatial rings with a wave of his hand, then sped away.
One day passed as darkness slowly raised a blanket over the sky.
The night sky of the Overflowing Lightning World was devoid of the moon and stars. Moreover, Huang Xiaolong noticed that the lightning in the sky above actually increased in number and frequency at night, birthing a great pressure in one’s heart.
The undulating roars of lightning beasts seemed endless through the night. All kinds of lightning beasts that were hiding during the day came out in droves at this time.
Though the night time in the Overflowing Lightning World was more dangerous than the day, Huang Xiaolong kept flying forward in one direction. With various lightning beasts coming out at night, it was the best time to gain some points.
After a day of hunting, adding the points from the five Flaming Fire Sect disciples, Huang Xiaolong’s ranking had risen up to the two million range.
At an unknown distance from Huang Xiaolong, a figure was hovering above a mountain peak. Fine streaks of lightning sizzled around his body, making him look like the epitome of an ancient Lightning God.
This person was none other than Xiang Mingzhi!
“2,321,643.” Xiang Mingzhi’s divine sense checked the jade token in his body. When he discovered Huang Xiaolong’s position, he sneered, mockingly shaking his head, “Huang Xiaolong, is this all your strength?”
Whereas he, after a day of hunting, had risen up to the 563rd place. Furthermore, he had yet to get serious.
