238: Encounter Fan Bai

Xiao Weiqing went into hiding.

Night Amber led the remaining ten people to rest somewhere in the South 5th Ring.

"Do you know that person?"

"Brother Hu, I have some impression of that person," someone spoke up.

"He should be Xiao Weiqing from Great Xia; he came to the Training Camp a month ago."

"A month ago?"

Night Amber's pupils constricted. "He's a newcomer?"

"Yes."

The speaker was somewhat worried. "Brother Hu, do you think Xiao Weiqing will come back to take revenge on us?"

"Hmph!"

"He dares?"

"If he dares to come, I will definitely slay him. Rest for two hours and take turns on guard duty."

So he said.

But the others were still afraid; they had all seen Xiao Weiqing slay their companions with two slashes.

In the Training Camp, they had seen with their own eyes Xiao Weiqing defeat Bi Hansheng of the Fourth Realm across levels. Among them, besides Night Amber, there were two others in the Fourth Realm, while the rest were in the Third Realm, with strength similar to the two who were slain.

If Xiao Weiqing could slay two, he could slay four, six... A few hours later.

"Finally, three divine runes."

Xiao Weiqing held the thousand flame blade, funneling Qi Fire into it. The flaming blade body instantly soared to the ceiling.

"The divine charm is exhausted; it's time to head out."

A dark and windy night.

Under the starry sky.

Xiao Weiqing stood on the roof of a 20-story building, quietly watching the direction of the South 5th Ring.

Time passed second by second, minute by minute.

Boom~~

Rumble! ~~ Boom! ~

The sounds of explosions and collapsing buildings came through. With Xiao Weiqing's eyesight, he saw people fighting over a dozen kilometers away.

"Finally, the wait is over."

Xiao Weiqing's figure moved, disappearing from the spot.

Under the moonlight.

A figure could be seen weaving through the shadows, advancing rapidly toward the South 5th Ring.

"Earth Spirit Bind!"

A Genius from the Tianlang Empire unleashed his Mental Energy like a flash flood, lunging toward the four-meter-tall Nether ahead.

The Mental Energy intertwined and condensed, forming a massive net that trapped the Nether.

"Soul Spear!"

Another Genius used Mental Energy to manifest a long spear, violently throwing it at the Nether and pinning it firmly in place.

"Brother Hu!~"

"Good job, Chen Kang!"

Night Amber condensed power in his hand, the white light dazzling and eye-catching.

"Tiger Roar!~"

"Roar!!!"

A punch was thrown, a sonic boom exploded, and ripples were beaten into the air. A large hole was blasted through the upper body of the four-meter-tall Nether.

The Nether condensed again, its size shrinking to just over three meters.

"Chen Kang, watch out!"

The Nether tilted its head back slightly and violently spat out a sound wave.

"Soul Void!"

"Hmph!~"

Chen Kang's face instantly turned deathly pale.

Night Amber seized the opportunity.

He leaped up.

"Tiger Roar!"

Another punch, from top to bottom, pierced through the Nether.

Having dealt with the most troublesome four-meter Nether, Night Amber joined the other battles. In less than half an hour, eight or nine Nethers were all eliminated.

Night Amber said, "Call Lin Xiao and Cheng Feng back."

"The commotion just now was too loud; I expect other Nethers will arrive soon. Chen Kang and Wang Hai also need to recover their Mental Energy. Let's change locations."

"Brother Hu, I'll go."

Zhao Wenbin walked toward the perimeter of the combat center. Before the battle began, they had sent two people to stand guard in case other people or Nethers attacked.

On the roof of a shopping mall.

"Lin Xiao, the battle is over, you can come back now."

Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't respond and was still looking into the distance, Zhao Wenbin couldn't help but feel curious.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhao Wenbin patted Lin Xiao's shoulder. With just that touch, Lin Xiao's originally standing body fell straight down.

"What?"

Just as he was about to shout.

A searing hot palm reached out from the shadows and grabbed Zhao Wenbin by the throat.

"Xiao... Wei... Qing?"

Seeing the face of the attacker clearly, Zhao Wenbin's hair stood on end. Fear from the depths of his mind swept through his entire body, and he couldn't stop trembling.

"Spa..."

Crack~~

"The third one."

Xiao Weiqing finished off Zhao Wenbin, took the five energy spheres from him, and disappeared into the darkness again.

On the other side.

The people from the Tianlang Empire finished gathering the energy spheres. After waiting a long time without seeing Zhao Wenbin and the other two return, they gradually realized something was wrong.

"Brother Hu, they haven't come back yet."

"How long has it been?"

"Ten minutes."

Night Amber narrowed his eyes. "Let's go take a look, all together."

The group arrived at the mall rooftop.

They saw the bodies of Lin Xiao and Zhao Wenbin. The charred handprint on Zhao Wenbin's neck couldn't be clearer; there was no need to guess who the murderer was.

Night Amber gritted his teeth, veins popping on his forehead.

"Xiao Weiqing!!!"

A chill rose in the hearts of the other Tianlang Empire geniuses. The revenge had come; Xiao Weiqing was hunting them.

In just half a day, three more companions had died by his hand.

Night Amber suppressed his anger. "Go back, stay close to me, do not separate."

Meanwhile.

Xiao Weiqing returned to the West 5th Ring.

He took out the 20 energy spheres he had just obtained; three were three-inch ones, and the rest were one-inch ones.

This just happened to make up for his losses tonight... Mental Energy: 45.3

... Samadhi True Fire: (2578/10000) wisps

... "Tonight's goal: 2600."

Xiao Weiqing held the two three-inch energy spheres in his hands and began the Fusion of the Samadhi True Fire.

Ede City.

4th Ring, somewhere.

"Brother Bai, help!"

Fan Bai, who had just finished off a three-meter Nether, turned his head to see a scalp-numbing scene: two five-meter Nethers, followed by dozens of three-meter and two-meter tall Nethers, were chasing Liu Jing like a tsunami.

"Holy crap! Liu Jing, you bastard."

"Azure Moon Slash!"

Fan Bai held a four-foot-long green sword and swung it.

The entire street was covered in frost, but it only slightly slowed the Nethers' pace.

"Run, run fast!"

Fan Bai swung two more times and fled with the four people without looking back.

The group sprinted for their lives along the street.

But the speed of the five-meter Nethers was clearly not something Liu Jing and the others could match, and the Nethers didn't need to dodge, moving completely in straight lines.

"Liu Jing, what are you doing?"

"I told you to lure a monster, but you damn well lured two BOSSES. Do you have a death wish?" the only girl in the team cursed.

Liu Jing was suffering but couldn't explain. "It wasn't my fault! I hadn't even entered that mall when I was discovered."

Fan Bai stopped the others from blaming him. "Stop talking, it's my fault. We shouldn't have come to the 4th Ring."

"Go, run toward the outer rings."

Fan Bai swung another sword strike behind him, briefly blocking the Nethers, and the group immediately turned right.

Originally, because of the straight lines, the Nethers couldn't catch up for a while, but now, because Fan Bai and the others turned, the distance between the Nethers and the group was rapidly shortening.

The group quickly wove through the alleys, their legs moving so fast they left afterimages.

Because the commotion was too great, other Nethers joined in along the way, encircling and intercepting them. The approaching cold wind from behind made Liu Jing feel despair.

"Brother Bai, you guys go first."

"I'll hold them off."

Liu Jing slowed his pace, preparing to stay behind to cover their retreat.

"Idiot!"

"Run faster for me!"

Fan Bai kicked Liu Jing in the butt.

Facing the Nethers less than fifty meters away, he drew his sword and swept it across.

"Cloud Sea Mountain Shaker!"

The sword momentum surged like rolling clouds, and Sword Qi swept across the fan-shaped area in front of him in an arc.

With just one move.

Dozens of Nethers behind him were sliced in half at the waist.

But two seconds later, the Nethers condensed, their figures not shrinking much. Clearly, this move could not cause fatal damage to these special life forms.

Misfortunes never come singly.

Liu Jing and the other four were blocked in front by a four-meter Nether, along with several small Nethers—though they were called small, they were actually taller than everyone.

"It's over."

If they weren't surrounded, they could definitely deal with these Nethers.

However.

The two big guys behind were about to arrive; they were really going to meet their end here.
