Zuo Wenbin had not expected Chu Yunfan was waiting for the right moment to give it his all.
Previously, Zuo Wenbin’s physical strength had decreased and his True Energy was a mess. Although he was not able to exert much strength, his saber technique had always been very stable. There were not many flaws in his technique. Or rather, even if there were some flaws, Chu Yunfan did not have the strength to crush and break through them.
Chu Yunfan had been waiting for this opportunity all along. He killed Zuo Wenbin cleanly.
“Huff, huff, huff!”
Chu Yunfan was breathing heavily. That slash just now had exhausted more than half his stamina. Although it was not to the extent where he could not stand steadily, Chu Yunfan felt as if he had been drained of energy.
This was not the first time Tang Siyu and Gao Hongzhi had seen Chu Yunfan use the Flow Cut
– he had relied on this move to defeat Ou Yang. However, every time Chu Yunfan used this move, they were still extremely shocked. In a blink of an eye, after Chu Yunfan’s momentum reached its peak, it was followed by a strike that was as fast as lightning. The blade that they could not follow had ended everything.
Of course, after using this move, the price the user had to pay was not small. But compared to the results of the battle, it was not worth mentioning. If it were them, they would definitely be willing to take such an opportunity “The old fox is finally dead.” Gao Hongzhi let out a slight sigh of relief.
With an Acquired Stage expert watching him from the dark, the pressure had been almost too much for him to bear. He had not been able to sleep or eat in peace. An Acquired Stage expert was someone who could kill them all. The last time, he was able to escape due to luck.
NOW
“Yes. Things will be much better from now on. Without the threat of an Acquired Stage expert, we’ll be much safer,” Chu Yunfan said as he nodded.
“You gained quite a lot from that battle just now, right?” Tang Siyu said.
“Yeah, I have indeed gained a lot. Especially the control of my True Energy and some battle techniques. Looks like it won’t be long before I make another breakthrough. Should be in the next few days,” Chu Yunfan said confidently as he held the Shadowless Saber.
“That’s great. If you break through again, you’ll be at the eighth level of the Qi Sea Stage. Tsk, tsk. You are sure to beat all the geniuses at the school exchange meet. Just thinking about it makes me feel great!” Gao Hongzhi said happily. Although he was not the one to sweep the world, he was very happy that Chu Yunfan could do it.
“We can’t let our guard down. Our ultimate goal is the college entrance exam. You all know Dong Fanghao, right? He already reached the Energy Refinement Stage a few months ago. We aren’t there yet,” Chu Yunfan said lightly.
He was not as excited as Gao Hongzhi because he knew what his goal was. He also knew that he was still far from reaching the Energy Refinement Stage.
“F*ck, Dongfang Hao is a freak, okay? It’s only because we humans are getting stronger and stronger with each generation that such a person can appear. If a person like him were to go to the Kunlun Realm, he wouldn’t even need a year to step into the Acquired Stage. Even the Innate Stage is quite possible for him. If he were to enter Federation University, he would be a top student and become a genius monster that all the teachers would fight over!” Gao Hongzhi could not help swearing.
He did not want to admit defeat to a so-called genius, but a person like Dong Fanghao had surpassed his imagination. If anyone were to be called a genius, it would definitely be someone like Dong Fanghao.
From primary school to junior high school to high school, everyone was familiar with him. Their ears were almost callused from hearing his name over and over.
“How do you know if you don’t try? If you admit defeat at the beginning, then there’s no hope,” Chu Yunfan said lightly.
“Fine, I don’t care about you two freaks. He’s a freak, and so are you!” Gao Hongzhi said as he waved.
If anyone else had said these words, Gao Hongzhi would think that the other party was crazy. But if this person was Chu Yunfan, then it was another matter. He had a feeling that if it was Chu Yunfan, it might be possible. After all, both of them were freaks.
“Enough of that. Let’s hurry up and leave. The monsters will be here soon,” Tang Siyu said.
The battle had been going on for quite some time. Some monsters might have noticed. It was time for them to retreat.
“Okay, you guys go first. I’ll stay behind to deal with the aftermath,” Chu Yunfan said.
“All right, we’ll head off first. Hurry up and catch up with us,” Gao Hongzhi said without hesitation.
After the two of them left, Chu Yunfan looted all the weapons and armors used by the mercenaries. In the past, he would not have been able to do anything about it. It would not be convenient for him to bring along so many items.
However, things were different now. He could open the space within the Mountain River Diagram and store all the weapons and armors in it. When he returned to the city, he would think of a way to dispose of them. Even though they were second-hand goods, they were well maintained. They treated their weapons and armor as if they were their lives. They cherished these items because they were things that could save their lives in the wild. Therefore, every piece of armor and weapon was well maintained. It should be able to sell for a lot!
After looting all the items, Chu Yunfan did not linger. He followed Gao Hongzhi and Tang Siyu and left the place. In a short while, many black shadows appeared in the darkness of night. They were all monsters. Upon picking up the scent of blood, these creatures rushed over. Even in the biting cold wind, the smell of blood could not be covered up. These monsters had a much sharper sense of smell than ordinary wild beasts.
In a short while, the corpses were completely devoured. They roared like thunder. The mercenaries and Zuo Wenbin were completely devoured. There was not even a single bit left, only a pool of blood. This was normal in the wild. No one would care. Since they were in the wild, they had to be prepared if they wanted to make a lot of money.
The complete loss of contact with Zuo Wenbin caused the entire Tengda Group to be alarmed. If any team of mercenaries disappeared, they would be able to find another team at the mercenary guild the next day. However, this was the experienced and loyal Zuo Wenbin. He was gone just like that. That was a big problem.
It was difficult to recruit Acquired Stage experts, and they had to cooperate with one another. There were very few whom they could trust. Without an expert overseeing things, how was the Tengda Group going to obtain rare medicinal herbs?
This was a huge problem!
That night, someone tossed and turned, unable to sleep!
