C178 Surprise

To the Great Desolate Empire, the center of the Flame Beast Mountain Range was only a small mountain range located at the heart of the Ying Tian Sect and Great Desolate Empire.

This area was surrounded by Great Desolate Empire, and at its core, there could only be a few third level Flame Beast. As for the fourth level Flame Beast that occasionally came out, they were also killed under the siege of many Ying Tian Sect experts.

This area belonged to the Ying Tian Sect and the experience of the Yingtian Institution.

At this time, atop a mountain, a young girl dressed in pink was fighting with a Level 3 Flame Beast.

This girl looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, but her realm had already reached Peak Profound Level. In her hand was a scarlet longsword, and she was currently fighting with a third level Flame Beast.

Although the young girl was only facing the weakest kind of three stage Flame Beast, the early stage third stage Blackwater King Snake, it was also a genuine Military Strength, and although the young girl's realm was higher than her peers, she could not jump ranks to challenge them. The only difference was that the longsword in her hand seemed to be a half Spiritual Treasure, its power was extraordinary, causing the young girl to barely be able to preserve her life.

Dammit, this Black Water King Snake is its true Sovereign Level, it is much stronger than me! I can barely use the Shocking Cloud Sword to protect my life now, but I will still be defeated after a long time. I have already sent out a distress signal, why are the Senior Apprentice-Brother Mo and the rest not here yet!

Bai Ling was extremely anxious in her heart. She was a disciple of the Ying Tian Sect and had followed Senior Apprentice-Brother Mo, a disciple of the Internal Portal, to train in the Flame Beast mountain range, but she did not expect that she would be separated from the people of the Senior Apprentice-Brother Mo in one of the Flame Beast attacks.

In her anxiousness, Bai Ling suddenly saw a figure flying over. Her face immediately revealed a look of happiness, but when the skinny youth approached, her eyebrows wrinkled: "Eight Stars Profound Level?"

She had the Peak Profound Level, and relying on the sect's treasure Shocking Cloud Sword s, she could barely contend against the Black Water King Snake, let alone a Eight Stars Profound Level.

"Hey!" That person, don't come over, your Eight Stars Profound Level realm is not a match for this Flame Beast. Quickly leave and call for some helpers for me. " Bai Ling saw the skinny youngster approach, and immediately shouted out.

The skinny youth acted as if he did not hear her words as he continued to fly towards the Black Water King Snake.

Bai Ling frowned and said with slight anger: "Didn't you hear what I said? You're so weak, and you already gave up your own life. If the Black Water King Snake were to be enraged, even I would have been implicated by you."

"So noisy!"

The skinny youth said indifferently, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in the vicinity of the Black Water Serpent King.

Just as Bai Ling was about to get angry, a terrifying power suddenly exploded out from the young man's body. His palm struck down towards the Black Water King Snake's head, the palm was actually as sharp as a blade's blade, the Black Water King Snake's scales actually broke under the attack, the snake head was sliced off, blood splattered everywhere.

Bai Ling found it hard to believe that the youth in front of him had actually killed the Black Water King Snake so easily and neatly.

After killing the Black Water Serpent King, the skinny youth landed stably on the ground. He took out a black disk, the number on it had already changed to 23.

"Twenty three Flame Beast, not bad." The skinny youth nodded with a satisfied expression on his face.

The young man was naturally Gu Xuan. After entering the Flame Beast mountain range for half a month, Gu Xuan had started to constantly kill Flame Beast, and with Yun Xi's sensing ability, he could easily pick out the weakest among the third level Flame Beast. The original efficiency should have been extremely fast, but Gu Xuan did not spend all his time on killing the Flame Beast.

Even though the effects of the pellet had already been reduced, fighting against the Sovereign Level Flame Beast and tempering himself was still quite useful for cultivation. Thus, his speed was generally at the same as before and within half a month, Gu Xuan had also cultivated to a level close to the peak of the Eight Stars Profound Level.

"Let's continue searching in other places." Returning the Demon Slaying Coiling, Gu Xuan turned around.

"Halt!" Seeing Gu Xuan turning around, Bai Ling suddenly shouted loudly.

Gu Xuan turned his head to look, and slightly frowned: "The Flame Beast has already been killed, do you have anything else?"

"You saved me. Aren't you going to ask me my name?" Bai Ling said somewhat displeased.

"There's no need." Gu Xuan shook his head, "I was just killing along the way. I already wanted to kill the Flame Beast and I didn't mean to save you. And from today onwards, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore.

Originally, she was still grateful towards Gu Xuan and wanted to introduce him to the Senior Apprentice-Brother Mo to repay his kindness, but Gu Xuan had actually completely ignored his existence.

She, Bai Ling, was considered quite famous within the Ying Tian Sect, she had cultivated to the Peak Profound Level at the age of sixteen, and her appearance was outstanding as well. Many people had their feelings towards her, and even Senior Apprentice-Brother Mo, who was quite famous within the Internal Portal, had a good impression of her.

However, ever since Gu Xuan came over, he did not even look at her seriously. He had actually even given his a chance to fawn on him, which made her extremely unhappy, and made his feel that he had been humiliated.

"My name is Bai Ling and I am a disciple of Ying Tian Sect. After you save me, I am prepared to recommend you to Senior Apprentice-Brother Mo to me to give you a chance to join the Ying Tian Sect."

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Gu Xuan's face revealed a trace of impatience, to him, any moment of cultivation time was extremely precious, so much so that he had no interest in wasting time with these kinds of people.

Although Ying Tian Sect ruled over a few nearby dynasties, Gu Xuan was not too interested in this kind of small sect that had only risen to prominence in the last hundred years.

"If I want you to go, you have to!" The white-collar worker gritted his teeth, and thrusted his sword towards Gu Xuan.

Clang!

When the long sword was not far from Gu Xuan's body, Gu Xuan immediately extended two fingers and clamped onto it. No matter how hard Bai Ling used, he was unable to struggle free.

"I hope you don't anger me." Gu Xuan looked at Bai Ling with a slightly cold gaze.

He, Gu Xuan, had never been a merciful person. He had only saved Bai Ling for the sake of killing the Flame Beast.

And if this Bai Ling truly angered him, he would immediately kill her without showing the slightest bit of mercy.

Feeling Gu Xuan's gaze, Bai Ling also felt a bit of coldness, but she pretended to be fierce, but was actually weak inside: "Hey, quickly let go of my Shocking Cloud Sword!"

"Shocking Cloud Sword?"

After hearing these three words, Gu Xuan's expression immediately changed. He sized up the sword in front of him, and his eyes revealed extreme joy.

The Shocking Cloud Sword was the sword he had forged for his second disciple Mo Jingyun all those years ago.

Although this sword was not the same one from before, its shape was exactly the same!
