Chapter 417: Entrapment (2/2)

After that strike succeeded, A Ye scattered the waves and a bit wearily landed on the ground. After rus.h.i.+ng thousands of miles to come here and releasing the power of the blood mark, no matter how brave and good at fighting he was, he still felt that his feet almost couldn't hold him. Leaning on his spear while kneeling on the ground, he asked, ”How is the result?”

Gentle footsteps came from behind him as Zhou Mumu's figure appeared. The girl was silent for a moment before saying, ”I've completely lost Xiang Liang's trace. The likelihood that he's down is fifty percent.”

”Only fifty percent?”

”I don't have much contact with him, so I don't know his cards. It stands to reason that if it was me who received that strike, I would only have twenty percent chance to survive. But if it's Royal Soldier Sect people…”

”... Forget it, let's just call it a day.”

A Ye thought for a while, stood up, and put the spear back on his shoulder. Then his ice cold vision looked back.

”This time, the elite troops of Flaming Valley has been crippled, and even if the fire spirit didn't die, his skin must have been peeled off, and I… have been reduced to be the p.a.w.n of Golden City. This really can't be called as handsome.”

Zhou Mumu sighed. She had long wanted to say that it was likely there was the shadowy figure of Golden City behind the sneak attack on Eternal Tree by Flaming Valley.

”You're so bent on retaliating, how could you call that handsome?” she thought, however, after rethinking that A Ye's rage was caused by her wife being injured, Zhou Mumu couldn't say anything.

”Let's go back… No matter how bad and inattentive you are in taking care of a woman, there's nothing else you can do in Golden City.”

At the same time, within the forested valley, a sliced-into-two-in-the-middle barbarian warrior corpse suddenly trembled.

This barbarian warrior was killed by Shengjing Sect people. At this time, there were countless of meat sprouts that began to wiggle. The meat sprouts on the two sections soon twined together and the two parts corpse became one again.

Then, that barbarian warrior unsteadily stood up and began to step forward. From limping, its pace quickly became steady and soon it began to run. And while running, the barbarian warrior's stature rapidly changed.

From the height of eight feet, it rapidly shrunk into a medium build young man with short hair, cold look, and a cross scar printed on the cheek.

He was indeed Xiang Liang. Before the blood mark divine spear reached his body, he completed the Royal Soldier Sect's secret method of shapes.h.i.+fting, successfully escaped, and also broke free from Zhou Mumu's target lock. Right now, on the battlefield, no one paid him any attention. In front of him was a stretch of flat land. For him, the battle was already over.

As the lead disciple of Royal Soldier Sect, in the pursuit of military victory, he knew the truth about the usefulness of saving his life. This time, he was able to flee and even score a victory despite being ambushed by two forces one after the other. Despite the cost for this was the annihilation of a thousand elite barbarian warriors, the other party paid a hundredfold more than him. Because of his crack troops, Golden City was enveloped with the flames of war, their front line was heavily pinned down, and now, even the king of Golden City had led his main army to suppress it.

In addition, Shengjing Sect team had also exposed their cards. After this battle, as long as he spent some time to prepare the countermeasures, next time they met, he could do better than this time. Even for the biggest enemy in this realm, Qiong Hua, he had faintly gleamed out a few details of her through the methods of the other members of Shengjing Sect team.

So far, Xiang Liang had already gained a big profit. As long as he brought back this profit to the headquarters, as long...

”As long as you can get out of this valley, I will give my head to you.”

Ahead, there was a strong burly figure who had been waiting for him for a long time. With a calm and indifferent face, Jianglu seemed to have determined that, although he was facing an opponent whose rank was completely above him, the victory was already at hand.

Upon seeing Jianglu, Xiang Liang's complexion changed. This time, he really didn't have the power to fight again. In the face of such a master like Jianglu, even his hope to escape was slim.

Perhaps a lone army penetrating deep into enemy's territory was bound to lose from the start, but he did not expect it to come this fast. Much less in the hand of Jianglu...

His enemy was Qiong Hua, not this small fry...

And just as Xiang Liang was stunned, Jianglu had made the preemptive strike. He launched his Power King True Body. Surrounded by golden light, he began to stride forward. With each step, the rocks shook and the ground cracked. His meteor-like fist swung towards his opponent's face.

At the same time, Xiang Liang suddenly sensed something and immediately took half a step back. In front of him, a brown sword light suddenly lit up. A plain sword emerged out of thin air in his field of vision, directly facing that meteor-like fist.

Then, a particularly lazy voice rang out.

”After following you for so long, you finally picked this handsome young man!”
