Chapter 1166

The Hundred Peaks Diagram was a good treasure for single combat, but it was also very suitable for group killings.

Those eight huge illusory shadows of mountain peaks looked illusory and ethereal, but each one had the weight of a real mountain. It didn’t need any imposing manner, just the act of smashing down was already imposing enough. After being crazily pouring in saintes by Yang Kai the smashed illusory shadows of mountain peaks already carried a hint of the aura of demonic flames. For a while, the entire valley was shaken by the smashed illusory shadows of mountain peaks. The Fire Spirit Beasts rushed over in groups and then disappeared in patches.

This was the first time Yang Kai had used the Hundred Peaks Diagram. He suddenly discovered that the function of this secret treasure was still quite great. At least, compared to using the Mysterious Heaven Sword and the Heaven-Piercing Spear to kill the Fire Spirit Beasts, it was much faster. So he immediately put away the demonic flame long sword and concentrate on releasing the power of the Hundred Peaks Diagram.

Boom boom boom…

Violent noises were transmitted from within the valley, deafening to the ears.

At the same time, in the direction where Yang Kai had come from, a group of three people appeared at the entrance of the valley. Among the three people, two were at the Third-Order Saint King Realm, and the other one was at the First-Order Saint King Realm. From the positions where the three people were walking, it could be seen that the two Third-Order Saint King Realm martial artists were sandwiching the First-Order Saint King Realm martial artist in the middle, seemingly protecting him.

When they came to the front of the valley, the martial artist walking at the very front suddenly halted his steps, a look of surprise and suspicion emerging on his face as he looked into the valley nervously and suspiciously.

Since he didn’t move, the two people behind naturally also stopped. The martial artist at the very back was vigilant of the surroundings, but the short and stocky young man sandwiched in the middle by them had a look of total indifference on his face, constantly looking around as if he wasn’t experiencing adventures in the Flowing Flame Sand Field but rather coming here for fun.

After continuously investigating in front of the valley for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the three people showed no intention of continuing to move forward. The short and stocky young man couldn’t help but urge the person in front： “Xie Yong, what are you always looking at? Hurry up and go.”

Upon hearing this, the martial artist called Xie Yong turned his head and said to the young man： “Young master, please wait for a moment. There seems to be something wrong with this valley.”

While saying this, he also beckoned to the Third-Order Saint King Realm martial artist at the very back. After the latter walked forward, the two of them investigated together and continuously talked in a low voice about something.

Seeing their serious appearance, the young man snorted dissatisfiedly： “Are you making a fuss over nothing? Along the way, we haven’t encountered any decent danger at all. Weren’t those few fire spirit beasts that jumped out easily killed by this young master? I think this Flowing Flame Sand Land is simply unworthy of its reputation. The rumors outside about how dangerous it is are clearly just rumors and exaggerations to scare those who don’t know. Unfortunately, they can’t scare this young master！”

This young man was actually Xie Hongwen who had had a feud with Yang Kai before. The other two Saint King Third-Order Realm martial artists were naturally also the martial artists sent by the Xie family to protect him.

Qian Tong had specifically told Yang Kai before that these two martial artists were not from the Shadow Moon Palace.

After hearing Xie Hongwen’s words, Xie Yong and the other martial artist looked at each other and both secretly shook their heads. They also knew that Xie Hongwen was used to a comfortable life and simply didn’t understand the danger of the outside world. In addition they really hadn’t encountered any danger in the past few days. So Xie Hongwen looked down on this place.

Although they had never entered the Flowing Flame Sand Land either, since this was one of the three forbidden areas of the Dark Star, there must be something strange about it.

If someone else had said this, the two of them wouldn’t have bothered to pay attention. Looking down on the danger level of this place and then misfortune would also be deserving of death. But after all, they were entrusted with the important task of protecting Xie Hongwen. If Xie Hongwen died because of carelessness, they wouldn’t have a good end when they returned to the Xie family either.

The other martial artist with a square face felt the need to explain to Xie Hongwen. After thinking for a while, he said seriously, “Young master. After all, this is the outermost periphery of the Flowing Flame Sand Land, and we were quite lucky before. The Fire Spirit Beasts we encountered were only of the fifth and sixth ranks. With the young master’s divine might, it is naturally no problem to kill them.”

After hearing the flattery, Xie Hongwen’s impatient expression finally eased a lot, and he put on a look of being the only one in the world, extremely arrogant.

The martial artist’s tone changed, and he continued, “However, young master, you must never let your guard down here. Besides the few fifth and sixth rank Fire Spirit Beasts we encountered, there are also seventh rank and eighth rank ones…”

When Xie Hongwen heard this, he slanted his eyes and stared at the square-faced martial artist, sneering, “Xie Jun, you are too underestimating this young master. This young master has a lot of secret treasures and exquisite divine abilities. Not to mention seventh and eighth ranks, even if a ninth rank Fire Spirit Beast comes, so what? This young master can still easily kill it! This young master is still afraid of not being able to encounter these high-level Fire Spirit Beasts. You find a few for this young master, and this young master will kill them for you to see!

He looked eager to prove himself.

Xie Yong and Xie Jun remained expressionless on the surface, but in their hearts, they almost cursed Xie Hongwen to death.

They had long heard that Xie Hongwen was an idiot, and only now did they discover that the rumors outside were simply too understated the stupidity of this young master.

He was just a Saint King 1-layer martial artist. Not to mention killing a 9th-order Fire Spirit Beast, even a 7th or 8th-order one could easily kill him in a second. It was ridiculous that he was so boastful and didn’t even worry about the wind making his tongue slip.

There was no way to reason with a fool. Xie Jun and Xie Yong sensibly echoed a few times, which made Xie Hongwen very satisfied and he didn’t pursue the responsibility of their staying here anymore. He nodded repeatedly and said, “Don’t worry. As long as this time can let this young master take revenge, after I go back, I will definitely let my father write a letter to the family head. There will be no shortage of benefits for you.”

Xie Jun and Xie Yong’s eyes lit up and they nodded in agreement one after another.

The reason why they took on this errand was precisely because Xie Hongwen’s father, Xie Li, promised them a huge reward of 300,000 Saint Crystals each after the matter was completed. Otherwise, who would accompany Xie Hongwen to come to the Flowing Flame Sand Field？

Moreover, the things obtained in the Flowing Flame Sand Field, the family would not ask them to hand in. How much they got was their own.

A few months ago, when this task was passed on to the Xie Family, countless Xie Family disciples boiled over and responded to the call of the Xie Family head one after another. In the end, it was still Xie Yong and Xie Jun who won this task with an absolute advantage.

They also knew who Xie Hongwen wanted to take revenge on. It was a Saint King 1-layer martial artist named Yang Kai.

According to Xie Hongwen’s words, that Yang Kai is an idle and worthless person, arrogant and overbearing, and loves women like his life. Even he can’t defeat him just relying on the power and influence of Elder Qian Tong to bully the weak.

Xie Yong and Xie Jun certainly won’t believe this bullshit. There is no Saint King Realm warrior in the world who can’t defeat Xie Hongwen. Even a warrior who has just broken through to the Saint King Realm can easily defeat a piece of trash like Xie Hongwen.

Finally, the two of them learned the real situation from Xie Li.

Although the cultivation level of that young man named Yang Kai is low, his combat power is not bad. He can kill a Saint King Third-Order warrior, that is, a so-called genius warrior, and is an elite who can fight across levels.

But Xie Yong and Xie Jun are also elites. However, they are elite disciples of the Xie Family. They have absolute confidence in killing a warrior like Yang Kai.

Do you think that trash might not have taken this path? Xie Hongwen suddenly asked again. “Why haven’t we seen his traces after chasing for several days? Could it be that we chased in the wrong direction?

Xie Yong grinned and said proudly, “Young Master, you can rest assured. He took this path for sure. No one can escape my tracking.

It is precisely because Xie Yong is good at tracking and has good combat power that he was able to stand out among the numerous Xie Family disciples (numerous disciples of the Xie Family) and successfully take on this task.

After determined (confirming) the position where Yang Kai entered before, the three of them gathered together through the communication compass and then chased after Yang Kai’s pace (footsteps) all the way.

“Then why haven’t we found him？” Xie Hongwen asked in confusion.

“Because he entered this valley.” Xie Yong pointed ahead.

Xie Hongwen’s expression lit up： “Really？”

“There’s no mistake.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and catch up with him and kill him for me！” Xie Hongwen’s expression turned fierce, and then he suddenly shook his head and said： “No, no, no. First subdue him. This young master wants to torture him well. Killing him directly is simply too easy on him. I must make him taste all the cruel punishments in the world.”

“Young master, I’m afraid there’s no need to go to so much trouble.” Xie Yong had a strange expression.

“What do you mean？” Xie Hongwen looked at him with a sidelong glance.

Xie Yong smiled slightly： “Once he entered this valley, there’s no chance of survival！ There’s no need for us to pursue and kill him anymore. He definitely won’t be able to walk out of this valley alive. I’m afraid he’s already dead by now.”

“Why？ And how do you know？” Xie Hongwen was even more confused.

Xie Jun, who was on the side, smiled and opened his mouth to explain, “Before coming here, the head of the family gave us some intelligence about the Flowing Flame Sandy Land, and one of them was about this valley. It seems that during the last opening of the Flowing Flame Sandy Land, a senior of our Xie family also took this road. However, less than an hour after entering the valley, he suddenly found that there were countless Fire Spirit Beasts gathering in the valley and were besieging a group of people to fight. That group of people were all elite warriors of various forces, and the number of them gathered together was more than thirty. At that time, the battle was fierce. Our Xie family’s senior didn’t want to be involved in it, so he quietly withdrew from the valley. Later, after leaving the Flowing Flame Sandy Land and inquiring, he found out that none of the more than thirty warriors who were trapped in the valley survived, and they didn’t even reach the area of natural treasures.”

“They fell in the valley？” Xie Hongwen’s face changed slightly. Although he boasted just now, when he thought of countless Fire Spirit Beasts surging over, he couldn’t help but turn a little pale.”

“That’s right. They perished in the valley. Only our Xie Clan’s senior knows the reason for their downfall, and apart from our Xie Clan, no one should be aware of the information about this valley. Since Yang Kai has gone in there, there’s no way he could have survived. I was just hesitant before because I had some doubts, but after carefully confirming with Xie Yong, I found that the terrain here is exactly the same as the information left by our Xie Clan’s senior. In other words, the valley that our Xie Clan’s senior entered four hundred years ago is this one.”

After hearing this, Xie Hongwen slapped his palm hard and sighed loudly, “What a pity. How could he have died like this？ I still wanted to capture him.”

He was sighing regretfully for not being able to kill Yang Kai with his own hands.
