Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Jiang Ting, oh Jiang Ting, you’re still so silly and naive!

Xiao Yang momentarily forgot that the Black Fiend Wolf King was leading those ferocious wolves.

And we’re not talking about your run-of-the-mill beast here.

In his previous life, he had faced the brunt of this wolf king’s claws while breaching the Nine Heavy Barriers and had suffered quite the loss.

At this moment, everyone was nervously staring at the massive wolf.

This wolf was indeed huge, its black fur seemed to shimmer with occasional sparks of electricity.

Xiao Yang signaled to Lin Wangchuan and Hua Mengli to quietly retreat with him.

This wolf king was extremely powerful and wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

“Roar!”

At that very moment, the wolf king leapt from the ground and pounced fiercely towards Qin Fei and the others.

Qin Fei, not daring to be careless, immediately employed the True Sun Sword Technique. A razor-sharp sword light shot out from his body, piercing straight towards the wolf king.

The wolf king swatted the incoming flying sword away with a paw and lunged at Qin Fei, sinking its teeth into Qin Fei’s left shoulder, tossing him around like a ragdoll.

“……”

Everyone was horrified and scattered.

“Young junior brother…”

Jiang Ting gasped in shock.

Lei Renjie and Li Yunhu had quickly put distance between themselves and the threat.

But Jiang Ting, reckless as always, dashed forward only to be sent flying by a single swing of the Black Fiend Wolf King’s tail, landing a couple of yards away from Xiao Yang.

At this point, the wolf king had stopped tearing at Qin Fei and was pinning him down to the ground.

Qin Fei’s left shoulder was a bloody mess, the wound deep enough to see bone.

Everyone was dumbfounded by the scene.

No one could have predicted that the wolf king was this strong.

Qin Fei was a sword genius from the Qingyang Sword Sect, a formidable sword practitioner in the Divine Martial Realm, yet he was utterly powerless before the wolf king?

Tang Chen and the others were ready to escape.

But they found themselves surrounded by the ferocious wolves glaring at them.

“Young junior brother…”

Jiang Ting was filled with dread as she saw Qin Fei’s condition.

She scrambled to her feet and tried to rush to his aid.

But she stumbled and fell hard to the ground.

The Black Fiend Wolf King, however, wasn’t killing Qin Fei right away—it was mockingly gazing at Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting felt a chill run down her spine as the wolf king’s gaze fell upon her.

This wolf king had clearly developed some form of intelligence, its intellect undeniable compared to that of a human.

“Quick, save your junior brother!” Jiang Ting shouted urgently at Lei Renjie and the others.

“……”

Lei Renjie, Li Yunhu, and Fang Ritian all dared not move!

If even the Divine Martial Realm’s Qin Fei could be taken down by this wolf king, how could they possibly face it without ending up as its next meal?

There was no way they would march to their demise!

As for Ning Shu and Li Fan Yin, they were also paralyzed by the wolf king’s overwhelming presence and hesitant to act.

“Senior brother… senior brother… please, save the young junior brother!” Jiang Ting was practically begging now, rolling towards Xiao Yang’s feet.

To her, Xiao Yang was her last hope.

“What were you all saying before?” Xiao Yang looked coldly at Jiang Ting.

“Senior brother, you’re the Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect and our big brother. Isn’t it your duty to protect us?” Jiang Ting replied anxiously.

At this moment, the wolf king’s paws were piercing deeper into Qin Fei’s flesh.

Qin Fei was terrified out of his wits.

He never imagined this wolf king would be so terrifying.

“Jiang Ting, oh Jiang Ting, why are you still so foolish and naive? There’s nothing in this world that anyone owes you,” Xiao Yang shook his head helplessly.

Does she really think he’s just playing hard to get?

Does she still not understand the reality of the situation?

Well then, today he would teach her what it means to be ruthless.

“What did you say?” Jiang Ting was taken aback.

“Jiang Ting, listen closely. The reason I’ve been so compliant with you is because I liked you before, but now, I don’t like you anymore. Do you understand? I, Xiao Yang, do not like you anymore.”

Xiao Yang’s icy gaze locked onto Jiang Ting’s eyes, emphasizing every word.

“No… Senior brother… you can’t do this… you promised to always treat me well, no matter what!” Jiang Ting was panicking, really panicking.

“Not anymore. And I won’t save your beloved junior brother!” Xiao Yang stated firmly.

“No, senior brother, please save the young junior brother, or he will die!” Jiang Ting clung to Xiao Yang’s leg, desperately pleading.

“We’re leaving!” Xiao Yang shrugged Jiang Ting off and marched out of the valley.

“Unfilial son, unfilial son, unfilial son…”

Xiao Zhenshan’s voice roared with rage as he watched this unfold through the glowing image projection.

“This ungrateful disciple…”

Outside the Nine Heavy Barriers, Jiang Qitian trembled with anger.

“Senior brother, I’m begging you, please save the young junior brother!” Jiang Ting crawled towards Xiao Yang, the wound on her shoulder bursting open and bleeding again.

Xiao Yang paused momentarily.

“Didn’t you say you’d never beg me, even if it meant dying?”

Xiao Yang turned to look at the pitiful sight of Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting had truly liked Qin Fei—so much so that she was willing to lower her proud head for him.

She had never begged him for anything in either of their lifetimes.

“Senior brother, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong! Please just save the young junior brother!” Jiang Ting pleaded frantically.

Xiao Yang had never seen Jiang Ting in such a compromised position.

The Black Fiend Wolf King observed Xiao Yang and Jiang Ting with curiosity.

“Not saving him!” Xiao Yang remained unmoved.

“Senior brother, I hate you!” Jiang Ting screamed at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang chuckled softly—whether she loved him or hated him, he simply didn’t care.

The Black Fiend Wolf King seemed to grow impatient and was ready to finish off Qin Fei.

At that moment, a burst of sword light suddenly erupted from Qin Fei’s body, the overwhelming power of the sword technique flinging the Black Fiend Wolf King away.

“What…?”

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Qin Fei’s pendant shaped like a sword had flown into the air, emanating an enormous sword power.

“Spirit Sword Stone?”

Xiao Yang’s expression shifted to shock and anger.

Jiang Qitian had actually given Qin Fei the Spirit Sword Stone?

That was the holy token of the Qingyang Sword Sect’s leader!

The sect leader had two main tokens: one was the sect’s grand seal, and the other was this Spirit Sword Stone.

Jiang Qitian presenting the Spirit Sword Stone to Qin Fei—what did that mean?

Was he planning to pass the leadership to Qin Fei?

Unbelievable.

Xiao Yang was still the Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect!

It seemed Jiang Qitian was treating him like a backup option!

Fortunately, he was about to leave the sect for good.

After today, the Qingyang Sword Sect’s matters would have nothing to do with him.

But, he was still very displeased.

Jiang Qitian was too biased and cruel.

In his previous life, he had been set up to nourish Qin Fei in the shadows.

And here they were again, same story.

But this time, he was done playing their games.

Thinking this, Xiao Yang turned to leave.

Jiang Ting was left dazed, watching Xiao Yang’s retreating figure, feeling a strange pain in her heart.

So, the senior brother really didn’t like her anymore.

How could this be? She thought the senior brother liked her so much that no matter what, he would always care for her.

Had she been wrong?

Was she truly mistaken?

For the first time, she felt that Xiao Yang was being serious.

No, she couldn’t accept it.

“Roar!”

The roar of the Black Fiend Wolf King echoed as Jiang Ting remained kneeling, lost in her thoughts.

“Junior sister, hurry and run!”

At that moment, Qin Fei rushed over, grabbing Jiang Ting and fleeing.

The wolf pack charged again toward the group.

The Black Fiend Wolf King directly leapt toward them.

Ning Shu led a bunch of Heavenly Medical Sect disciples to break through towards Xiao Yang.

At this point, the crazy Black Fiend Wolves were lunging at the group with reckless abandon.

Then, a flute sound rang out, and Li Fan Yin took out her jade flute and began playing.

The sound waves materialized into almost invisible sonic blades that sliced through the night sky, splitting the air and leaving fine, clear fractures in their wake.

Wherever she passed, the wolves charging at her fell apart into chunks.

Li Fan Yin, leading a group of disciples from the Shifang Qimen, burst through the wolf pack’s encirclement.

Tang Chen also wanted to flee.

But his luck ran out as the wolf king pounced and chomped off his left arm.

Fortunately, Li Fan Yin used her whip to wrap around his waist and pulled him from the wolf king’s claws just in time.

Tang Chen was scared out of his wits.

Just as everyone was about to escape the valley, a cacophony of savage beast roars echoed from all around, shaking them to the core.

Everyone was left speechless.

And Xiao Yang and the rest retreated again.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone was alarmed.

Aside from Xiao Yang, those from the Supreme Dao Sect also fled into the valley.

This meant that the disciples from the four major sects—Heavenly Medical Sect, Shifang Qimen, Qingyang Sword Sect—were now trapped inside this valley.

The folks inside the valley had no clue what was happening.

However, those watching the grand competition through the projection were left utterly flabbergasted by the chaos unfolding on the screen.

Even the top ten powerhouses elevated on the celestial platform were compelled to respond.

How could this be?

Jiang Qitian, Wang Ao, and Chu Zhenbei all turned their gazes toward Ye Longsheng, the leader of the Beast Control Manor.

They saw countless savage beasts charging toward the valley from all directions.

On a mountain peak far off in the distance, a group of people stood watching.

At the front of this group was Ye Feiyang, the heir of the Beast Control Manor.

“Ha-ha! Young master, this move of yours is ruthless indeed!”

One of the Beast Control Manor disciples behind Ye Feiyang laughed heartily.

“Those people in the valley are done for! With the young master’s intervention, the four major sects will be wiped out—truly impressive!”

The disciples behind Ye Feiyang all showered him with praise.

“Hmph, let them die at the claws of these beasts. That’s a fitting punishment for them.”

Ye Feiyang scoffed coldly.

Meanwhile, outside the Nine Heavy Barriers, Jiang Qitian and the others glared at Ye Longsheng with anger.

“The winner takes all, it’s all fair and square!” Ye Longsheng replied calmly.

At this moment, those in the valley faced absolute despair.
