Chapter 30: Hang Zhan Who Charged Out Midway

This sword move was really very cleverly timed as the Miasma Cloud Beast had just defended against the combined attacks of Liu Dong and his companions and its defense had weakened, creating an opportunity for Ling Han.

“Shua!” The long sword waved, seemingly like a deity descended from the heavens.

With a “pu” sound, the sword pierced through the right eye of the Miasma Cloud Beast and deeper into its body, driving in all the way until the hilt.

“Peng!” The Miasma Cloud Beast fell heavily onto the ground. It was actually killed in one blow!

“What!”

“Mother!”

“Si!”

Liu Dong and the others, including Zhu Xue Yi who had been in hiding, inhaled sharply in shock.

That was an actual Miasma Cloud Beast, one of the strongest amongst demonic beasts in Body Refining Tier! And yet, it was killed in one blow! How could they accept something this unbelievable?

But immediately, they took to their heels. If one spoke, they would naturally inhale air. They had all inhaled a bit of miasma poison just now, thus they had to circulate their respective cultivation techniques as soon as possible to dissolve the poison. Otherwise, their internal organs could very likely corrode.

After a while, Liu Dong was the first to walk towards Ling Han, and patting his shoulder, he said, “I thought you brat were already scared to the point that you couldn’t move, but you’re actually so strong. Your one strike could actually be so swift.”

“Haha, Brother Ling is truly powerful to actually kill the Miasma Cloud Beast in one blow!” Li Hao said. To be able to witness such a clean, decisive slash, he too felt immeasurably excited since he was a swordsman himself.

Ling Han only smiled. The lower the cultivation level, the easier it would be for one with a lower cultivation level to challenge someone with a higher cultivation level. Moreover, the Miasma Cloud Beast had had most of its attention focused on Liu Dong and the rest just now, which gave him the chance to kill it in one strike.

If it was a one-on-one battle, Ling Han would definitely not be able to fight the Miasma Cloud Beast on even grounds–unless he had taken the antidote to the miasma poison beforehand.

After the miasma poison had dissipated, they plucked the Green Spiritual Fruits one by one, but did not damage the plant itself.

The plan they came up with just now was because they were short on time, and so could only choose to uproot the plant. But now that the Miasma Cloud Beast was dead, they naturally had no need to do such a thing. This after all was a natural spiritual medicine. Damaging it would equal damaging the harmony of nature.

Seven Green Spiritual Fruits–they each could obtain one. However, though Liu Yu Tong had put hers away, she would definitely hand it over to Ling Han later.

“Heng, leave the spiritual fruits behind!” They heard a cold voice speak. Two men walked over to them, one in front while the other remaining behind. One was young while the other was old. The younger one seemed to be about twenty plus years old, while the older man appeared to be about seventy or eighty years old, with a head full of white hair.

The speaker was the young man. He was walking in front while the old man followed him from behind like a servant.

Ling Han glanced at the approaching pair. With the insight of a warrior in Heaven Tier, he could immediately tell that the young man was in the ninth layer of Body Refining Tier while the old man had already reached the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier!

“Who do you think you are to be so arrogant?” Liu Dong immediately stood, yelling at the unknown young man.

However, that young man’s gaze swept over Zhu Xue Yi’s dainty figure and beautiful face, revealing a covetous expression. Then, he disdainfully said, “You don’t even know I, Hang Zhan? Hehe, then you should have heard of Stone Wolf Sect, right? I am the eldest grandson of the Seventh Elder of Stone Wolf Sect!”

Stone Wolf Sect!

Hearing these three words, the expressions on the faces of Liu Dong and the others all changed into ones filled with dread.

In Rain Country, one couldn’t casually casually proclaim themselves a sect or a faction. Faction, Sect, a.s.sociation, and Society–from highest to lowest, these were the four different levels. Only a party that possessed a warrior of the Spiritual Ocean Tier could claim to be a Faction, one with a master in the Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier could be proclaimed a Sect… a party that only had a warrior in Element Gathering Tier could be claimed as a.s.sociation, while Society would be those in the lowest category.

The Stone Wolf Sect was the greatest party within one thousand miles. According to rumors, the Nine Great Elders were all warriors in the Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier, while the Sect Master was an individual standing at the pinnacle of the ninth layer of Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier.

If this Hang Zhan was telling the truth and his grandfather really was the Seventh Elder of the Stone Wolf Gate, then he indeed had a terrifying background.
