433: Xiao Yifei has appeared!
Su Chen was the first to react.
He put away the look of shock on his Face and nodded immediately.
Following that, Su Chen revealed an awkward smile that looked even worse than crying.
"I... I want to survive!"
"Man, I didn't expect you to be hiding your strength so deeply!"
Su Ming nodded calmly, the tip of his sword lightly tapping the ground.
"Wanting to survive is simple!"
His voice was calm, but the words he spoke caused everyone to freeze.
"One hundred points per person to buy your lives."
Su Ming pointed to the Eerie Creatures outside that had regrouped but were clearly intimidated.
"You can't just expect me to work for free, can you?"
However, when the woman in the short outfit heard Su Ming ask for one hundred points, her expression darkened instantly.
"What?"
Her voice was sharp, and she spoke with incredulous anger.
"One hundred points?"
"Do you know how many missions I have to complete to earn these one hundred points? You are taking advantage of this crisis!"
"Killing one Eerie Creature in the Heavenly Immortal Realm is only worth ten points!"
Although the other two did not speak out to accuse him, their expressions were full of displeasure.
One hundred points was not a small amount for any Outer Sect Disciple, or even for an Inner Sect Disciple.
Among the four, only Su Chen's reaction was different.
As soon as Su Chen heard that he could save his life for just one hundred points, an exaggerated smile instantly spread across his Face.
He hurriedly shouted.
"One hundred points is no problem! I'll pay!"
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Su Ming nodded in satisfaction, his tone carrying a hint of approval.
"Straightforward!"
"As expected of the captain!"
Just then, Su Ming glanced at the restless Eerie Creatures surrounding them.
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring you back to the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect safely!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few of the bolder Eerie Creatures could no longer withstand their hunger and attempted to charge again.
"Wait a moment, I'll deal with these noisy bugs."
Su Ming said nonchalantly.
Immediately after, a silver light flashed, and another Heaven Slaying strike was launched.
After the strike, the Eerie Creatures charging at the front died instantly.
"Alright."
Su Ming clapped his hands, as if he had just done something insignificant.
He then held his Sect identity token in front of Su Chen and spoke with a smile.
"Please pay your one hundred points."
The smile on Su Chen's Face stiffened, and his movements froze instantly.
He scratched his head awkwardly, his eyes darting around.
"Uh... man, can I pay on delivery?"
Su Ming's smile vanished, and his Face darkened instantly.
"What! Do! You! Think!!!"
Su Chen felt the coldness emanating from Su Ming.
He knew that the Su Ming before him was not joking.
He hurriedly put on a smiling Face and explained.
"Don't worry, I, Su Chen, never owe anyone points in the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect!"
"However, I really don't have that many points on me right now!"
He lowered his voice and leaned close to Su Ming's ear.
"How about this, when we return to the Sect, my Senior Sister will definitely give you these one hundred points!"
"I'm sure you've heard of the reputation of my Senior Sister, Su Qingyuan!"
Su Ming looked at Su Chen with a calm expression, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
He knew very well that Su Chen couldn't come up with these one hundred points at all, and in the end, Su Qingyuan would have to clean up his mess.
This gave him an opportunity to get close to Su Qingyuan.
Su Ming was silent for a moment before slowly nodding, a conflicted expression appearing on his Face.
"Fine... then!"
"This time, I'm giving Face to Su Qingyuan!"
Afterward, Su Ming raised his hand, pointed the tip of his sword at the other three, and said coldly.
"How have you considered?"
His gaze was icy.
"I won't make a move during the next wave of attacks from the Eerie Creatures."
"After all, I am not some free babysitter."
Upon hearing this, the three of them showed expressions of extreme conflict.
One hundred points was truly painful for them to part with, but looking at the restless Eerie Creatures in front of them, they steeled their hearts.
Between life and points, life was ultimately more valuable.
"Fine!"
The woman in the short outfit gritted her teeth.
"One hundred points it is!"
The other two also nodded quickly, indicating their agreement.
A moment later, with a fluctuation of spiritual power, the three people's points were transferred to Su Ming's identity token.
Su Ming picked up the identity token and probed it with his spiritual sense.
Seeing the five hundred points displayed on it, his brows furrowed tightly.
Five hundred points?
He remembered very clearly.
He had previously earned three hundred points from completing a mission and spent two hundred points to purchase his Immortal Cave, so logically, he should have one hundred points left.
However, adding the three hundred points he just received, he should have four hundred points now.
Therefore, these extra one hundred points must be the reward he received for the mission he previously undertook at the Gods Fall Abyss.
"Only one hundred points?"
A trace of coldness flashed in Su Ming's eyes.
He didn't expect that such a dangerous mission would have a final reward of a mere one hundred points.
He knew that for this to happen, either someone had taken a kickback from his points.
Or the high-level members of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect had done it on purpose.
No matter which it was, it made him feel extremely displeased.
"Roar!"
Just then, a roar instantly pulled Su Ming's thoughts back to reality.
At this moment, all the Eerie Creatures in Black Rock Valley seemed to have received some kind of order.
Their movements were no longer chaotic charges, but uniform and simultaneous attacks.
Seeing this, Su Ming knew he could no longer hold back.
Facing a siege of this scale, relying solely on the explosive power of Heaven Slaying was not enough.
His eyes narrowed, and he let out a low shout.
"Sword Emperor Phantom!"
The next second, a vague, chaotic phantom slowly emerged behind him.
"Die!"
Waves of astonishing sword Dao Divine Abilities were unleashed, and the offensive formed by the Eerie Creatures began to gradually disintegrate.
... Three days later.
In Black Rock Valley, the offensive of the Eerie Creatures had weakened significantly.
A delicate balance had formed between Su Ming and this group of Eerie Creatures.
Although Su Ming did not fear these Eerie Creatures, his spiritual power was ultimately limited.
Constantly unleashing high-intensity Divine Abilities, even with his abundant spiritual power, could not be sustained for too long.
And the Eerie Creatures, although huge in number.
But after Su Ming's three days of near-slaughterous counterattacks, they had developed an instinctive fear.
Seeing Su Ming so valiant, with every strike wiping out large swaths of Eerie Creatures, they dared not launch an all-out attack rashly.
Instead, they began to summon more Eerie Creatures, attempting to exhaust Su Ming to death with an absolute numerical advantage.
Just then, a streak of golden light streaked across from outside Black Rock Valley!
Immediately after, a powerful aura swept over.
Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, three figures descended into Black Rock Valley.
"Xiao... Senior Brother Xiao?"
When Su Chen saw the newcomers, he was slightly stunned.
He did not expect the person who arrived to be Xiao Yifei, rather than Su Qingyuan.
Xiao Yifei was dressed in a moon-white robe, with a cold expression and a hint of arrogance between his brows.
After Xiao Yifei appeared, the situation instantly reversed.
In just a short moment, the Eerie Creatures in Black Rock Valley were wiped out.
"It's actually him?"
Su Ming looked at Xiao Yifei's familiar Face, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
