4 The Slaughter (2/2)

A strand of boundless and vast emperor aura abruptly surged out as a young man appeared in front of them. This young man seemed to be the leader of the hundreds of people that surrounded the top of the mountain. He was extremely handsome and his blue robe was drifting into the wind. He has a starry eyes and sword sharp brows.

He even had traces of lightning arcs twined around him which means that it was cultivating a powerful battle technique with the lightning attribute. His imposing manner was exceedingly vast and sharp. From this alone, one could infer that he was at the peak of Martial Empror, only a a step away from the Martial Sovereign Realm.

When the young man saw the little devil sitting crossed leggeg underneath the giant dead tree, he couldn't help but revealed a trace of violent joy. The look of his eyes was that of a wolf looking at its prey.

looking at the group of people that surrounded the top of the mountain, Silver Fang and Mo Fan had a surprise expression on their faces because they didn't know this people. They weren't among the toussand of people that were taking the test with them. So how could they get this far without alerting the members of the Heavenly Demon sect?. How the hell did they get here?

At the same time, their eyes couldn't help but lit up as well when they saw this group of people. Because they saw an opportunity! an opportunity to preserve their meager life and get the hell out this abyss. Even though the most powerful of these people was the young man with the strength of peak Martial Emperor, and the rest of them were Martial kings and Martial Lords, combined with their large numbers, they had enough strength to keep the little devil busy for a while as they make their escape.

” It seemed that you don't know what kind situation you are in.” the young man said with slight smile on his face as he was looking at the little devil who didn't even bother to open his eyes even when they surrounded him.

” We've been staying in that damn mountain for a year when when the previous group of recruits came. We dug a cave in one the mountain and used our Sect powerful illusion array that not even a Martial Venerable could see through to hide from your sects high-level spiritual sense just in case they came to the exam site.”

” We've spent a year investigating you and making sure that you were really alone with no Dao Protector.”

” Don't think that because you were able kill some Martial Kings trash, you would be able to escape from our hands. We'll take your head before you can even have the chance to call for back up” Said the young man with cold smile.

After staying in the Grey Mist Forest for a year, he had witnessed some of the kid's battle. He was strong enough to kill Martial Kings efforsely like chopping vegetables. His strength was at the peak of martial king at most, only a step away from the Martial Emperor realm. A ten years old peak Martial King, no wonder the sect was dead set on killing that little devil no matter the risk before his wings could grow hard enough to stand up on his own.

” Brothers, let's quickly kill this bastard!” Said the young man with a devilish smile on his face while looking at Mo Fan and Silver Fang. Although he didn't know them but he already knew why they were here.

The group came prepared and were determined to kill the little devil at all costs.

However, while the young man was blabbering, underground, many tree roots silently came out from the scorched ground between the littered crack. Some were as big as an adult arm while others were the size of a hair. They were like spirit snakes and were impossible to be noticed if one were not looking closely at the ground. And these tree roots were moving like a poisonous snake that hid in the darkness, waiting and moving.

Just as the group people were about to attack the little devil.

”Ah…”

Suddenly, there was a miserable shriek. A tree root, the size of an adult arm, suddenly crawled out and penetrated the chest of a Martial king realm expert.

” Junior Brother…”

The abrupt change happened too quickly, rendering the others to be shocked.

”Pooof…”

But in a flash, the tree root drained the blood of this warrior and, like a snake, it drilled down into the ground. Then, it suddenly appeared on the other side and stabbed another warrior.

”Quickly kill this bastard eldest senior brother…”

One of the frightened warriors roared and slashed forward with his sword towards the tree root.

With a single slash, he cut through the tree root, but the remaining fragment still pierced through his chest like an arrow.

”Ughh…”

The dying warrior couldn't believe this scene. As the root invaded his chest, it sucked up all of his blood, like a leech, then it suddenly went underground again. It was as though the tree root was alive. If it wasn't for the fact that he could see and feel the tree root in his chest, he would have thought that it was snake instead of a tree root.

”What kind of monster is this…”

Seeing the events that transpired right before their eyes, everyone felt a cold chill that flowed throughout their bodies!

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

In the blink of an eye, waves of tree roots rushed out from the ground and attacked the other warriors.

”That little devil, if I don't kill you today to soothe the blood of my junior brothers then my name won't be Situ Nian.”

Seeing how his juniors brothers were being slaughtered like pig, the young man couldn't help but finally took action as he unleashed his torrential aura and charged towards the little devil with his spiritual weapon. Even though he didn't know how but he was pretty sure that all these tree roots were being somehow controlled and summoned by the little devil and only by killing him could he stop all of this.
