Chapter 1167
byJust as Xie Hongwen’s words fell, the three of them suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from within the valley.
The source of the sound was extremely far away, yet it still clearly entered their ears. Moreover, with each sound, the ground seemed to shake slightly.
Xie Yun and Xie Yong looked at each other, and both couldn’t help but change their expressions slightly. Although they didn’t go to see with their own eyes what was happening over there, this kind of momentum indicated that an earth-shattering battle was taking place deep in the valley.
Xie Hongwen, however, thought of something. After being stunned for a moment, he shouted in great joy, “Could this commotion be caused by that trash？”
Xie Yong furrowed his brows and hesitated, saying, “It should be. After all, there is only him walking this way. Now he is probably surrounded by Fire Spirit Beasts.”
“Great, great, great! Hahaha, this is truly heaven helping this young master!” Xie Hongwen laughed maniacally and waved his hand, saying, “Let’s go in and take a look. This young master wants to see with his own eyes that bastard die without a place to be buried. Otherwise, I really can’t swallow this breath!”
“Young master…” The complexions of Xie Yong and Xie Jun both changed drastically. The former quickly spoke up to stop him, “This valley is definitely a forbidden area in the Flowing Flame Sand Field. It’s easy to get in but hard to get out. Since that person is bound to die, why should we take this risk? It doesn’t matter if something happens to the two of us, but young master, you are precious. In case there is any accident…”
Xie Yong knew that Xie Hongwen liked to hear nice words. If he stopped him forcefully at this time, it would definitely arouse his disgust. He could only persuade him in such a roundabout way.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xie Hongwen also felt that there was some truth to it, but his expression still showed signs of eagerness to move. Compared to those invisible dangers, he was more willing to see how Yang Kai died exactly.
For so many years of his life, no one had ever dared to humiliate him like Yang Kai did, and it was even more impossible for anyone to casually toy with his life. Every time Xie Hongwen thought about it, he couldn’t eat or sleep well, filled with grief, indignation, and resentment. That old fellow Qian Tong wasn’t a good thing either. Clearly, he had been bullied by an outsider, yet not only did he not seek revenge for him, but he was also very polite to that bastard.
Sooner or later, Qian Tong will also have to pay the price！
Xie Hongwen’s way of thinking was different from that of ordinary people. Last time, Qian Tong had saved his life from Yang Kai’s hands, but instead of being grateful, he even held a grudge against Qian Tong.
With such thoughts in mind, the anger in his heart and the desire to see with his own eyes the scene of Yang Kai’s tragic death simply couldn’t be suppressed. His expression became firm as he said, “Just go in and take a look from a distance. There shouldn’t be any problem, right？”
Xie Yong was greatly alarmed and was about to try to persuade him again when Xie Hongwen said, “Since one of our Xie family’s predecessors was able to come out unscathed back then, there’s no reason why we can’t do it. Or is it that the two of you don’t have confidence in yourselves？ If that’s the case, you two stay here, and this young master will go alone. However, you don’t need to take those three hundred thousand Saint Crystals either.”
How could this be possible？ Xie Yong and Xie Jun were extremely anxious. They had accepted the task of protecting Xie Hongwen precisely because of the three hundred thousand Saint Crystals and the benefits they could obtain from what they got in the Flowing Flame Sand Field. If the three hundred thousand Saint Crystals weren’t given, the gains from this trip would immediately be reduced by more than half！
For a moment. Xie Yong and Xie Jun were hesitant. The danger in the valley, they knew better than anyone. Before coming, Xie Li clearly told them that this valley must never be entered. Xie Li was not worried about their safety, but afraid that with their abilities, they would not be able to protect Xie Hongwen.
If something happened to Xie Hongwen, they might as well not live either.
But now that Xie Hongwen was making such a tough request, they couldn’t refuse.
Seeing the two’s hesitation. Xie Hongwen snorted and said, “As long as you take me in and we watch that bastard die from a distance, after we go back, I’ll personally give you some benefits. Hmm, with your identities, you probably aren’t qualified to learn the Xie family’s Asura Palm yet, right？ Regarding this martial skill, this young master knows a thing or two.”
Upon hearing the words Asura Palm, the hesitant expressions on Xie Jun and Xie Yong’s faces instantly wavered. They looked at each other and saw the eager look in each other’s eyes.
Xie Hongwen continued to strike while the iron was hot： “Don’t worry, we just need to watch from a distance. This young master doesn’t ask you to go up and kill him. Once he’s dead, we’ll immediately withdraw from the valley！”
Xie Yong let out a heavy sigh and looked at Xie Jun, asking, “What do you think？”
Xie Jun’s brows were tightly furrowed and he said helplessly, “What else can we do？”
Not listening to Xie Hongwen will bring no benefits. Listening to him, although there is a bit of risk, the benefits obtained will also be greater. There is no other way but to accept Xie Hongwen’s proposal, unless they don’t want the benefits anymore.
The two reached an agreement, and only then did Xie Yong say seriously, “Alright, young master, we will take you there, but you have to promise not to act rashly. If there is anything wrong we will take you away quickly. Please agree to this, young master.”
“Alright, I agree. You are so wordy. Hurry up and go over. If it’s too late, maybe that bastard will be dead.” Xie Hongwen urged impatiently.
Under helplessness, the two Xie family warriors could only continue to protect Xie Hongwen, one in front and one behind, and head towards the valley.
As they advanced, the earth-shattering movement became louder and louder. At the beginning, Xie Yong was still cautious and advanced slowly, but he really couldn’t stand Xie Hongwen’s repeated urgings. In addition, there really didn’t seem to be any danger in the valley, so he couldn’t help but speed up.
After most of the day, the three of them finally saw a mass of fiery red light from a distance.
The fiery red light was obviously different from the heat inflammation color of the Flowing Flame Sand Ground. One by one they converged into a terrifying mass of firelight within that huge area.
Looking carefully again, what was that firelight? Clearly it was countless fire spirit beasts gathered together, seemingly launching an attack on someone who was surrounded by them in the middle.
Huge mountain peak shadows flew out from among those fire spirit beasts from time to time, and then smashed down heavily. Every time it smashed down, the earth trembled violently.
Xie Yong and Xie Jun were dumbfounded！
Although the two had long speculated from the intelligence given by Xie Li that there were many fire spirit beasts in this valley, it was not until they saw it with their own eyes that they discovered that the truth of the matter far exceeded their imagination.
No wonder four hundred years ago, the more than thirty elites from various major forces would be wiped out here. With so many fire spirit beasts, even if a Void Returning Realm cultivator barged in rashly, I’m afraid they wouldn’t get any good. What’s more, only Saint King Realm cultivators can enter the Flowing Flame Sand Land.
Xie Hongwen’s performance was even worse. He had boasted so much before, but now that he saw those countless fire spirit beasts, he couldn’t help but tremble. His face was extremely pale, and he stood there unable to move at all.
“Hide!” Xie Yong was quick-witted and pulled Xie Hongwen in one fell swoop, hiding towards a nearby hill more than ten zhang high. At the same time, he sacrificed a exquisite secret treasure. That secret treasure emerges an invisible protective shield, enveloping the three of them isolating the leakage of their breath.
Crawling on the hill, three pairs of eyes carefully looked over there, and everyone was extremely shocked.
There are so many Fire Spirit Beasts, almost in the tens of thousands. Xie Yong and Xie Jun thought to themselves that if they were surrounded like this, they would fall within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
But that warrior named Yang Kai was surrounded in the middle and actually kept killing non-stop.
Since the three of them heard the movement and rushed here, most of the day has passed. For such a long time, constantly using that secret treasure of the mountain shadow, how much Saint Yuan should be consumed？ How did he recover？ And how many Fire Spirit Beasts did he kill？
As those mountain peak shadows pressed down, patches of Fire Spirit Beasts dissipated just like that.
What surprised them even more was yet to come. The three of them hid on the hill and watched for two or three hours. Such killing continued without the slightest sign of weakening, and Yang Kai, who was surrounded by the Fire Spirit Beasts in the middle, also showed no sign of exhaustion. The number of Fire Spirit Beasts killed by Yang Kai did not seem to decrease either, always maintaining a strange balance.
This strange killing seemed as if it would continue until the end of the world.
Why doesn’t he die yet？” Xie Hongwen muttered impatiently in a low voice. Before, he caught a glimpse and found that the person surrounded by the Fire Spirit Beasts was indeed the Yang Kai who made him hate to the bone. He originally thought that this guy was going to die soon, but until now the other party was still full of vitality, which made Xie Hongwen very puzzled.”
“He’s amazing！” Xie Yong couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. Although they knew that Yang Kai was an elite, in their opinion, Yang Kai’s cultivation level was not high after all. Even if he was an elite, his combat power was limited.
But now, Xie Yong realized that he had completely underestimated this person. If he really fought one-on-one with him, Xie Yong didn’t have the confidence to win.
“Xie Yun, kill him for me now. I can’t wait any longer!” Xie Hongwen suddenly shouted in a violent manner.
Both Xie Yong and Xie Yun were chosen by Xie Li for this mission because of their unique abilities. The former was proficient in the art of tracking. As long as it wasn’t a Void Return Stage cultivator, as long as he could find some clues, ordinary people couldn’t escape his tracking. In a place like the Flowing Flame Sand Field, his ability was essential for finding someone.
But Xie Yun had another kind of ability, the ability to kill with one strike！
To deal with an elite like Yang Kai, a sneak attack was undoubtedly the most correct approach, and this was Xie Yun’s strength, so he was also selected.
After hearing Xie Hongwen’s words, Xie Yun shook his head and said in a low voice, “No, Young Master. There’s no problem with the distance, but there are too many Fire Spirit Beasts gathered around this guy now, and the purple shield behind him is also a good defensive secret treasure. In this situation, I can’t kill him.”
Even if we were to make a move now, at most we could only injure Yang Kai. If we can’t achieve a one-hit kill, it’s better not to act and avoid alarming the enemy. Moreover, Xie Jun is also afraid that if we startle the fire spirit beasts over there, the three of them will be surrounded.
He and Xie Yong don’t have the capital to keep killing among tens of thousands of fire spirit beasts.
Then what should we do？” Xie Hongwen was in a great hurry. The enemy was right in front of him, alive and kicking, but he had no chance to take revenge. This made him extremely angry and he wished he could rush over and chop Yang Kai to death to avenge the revenge of that day.”
