Chapter 310: Chapter 204: Escape (Part 2)

BOOM!

The blade flashed and sparks flew. The air trembled as a terrifying gale suddenly erupted outward!

CRACK!

The next moment, with a clear snapping sound, the long saber in the Military General’s hands was sliced in two, the pieces clattering to the ground!

"What?"

Seeing his treasured long saber chopped into scrap metal, the Military General’s face filled with shock. He couldn’t believe it.

This long saber was forged from Hundred-refined Steel and fortified with hard Geng Gold Ore, making it exceptionally tough.

But now, it had been cut in two in a single exchange.

’How is this possible!’

His gaze fell upon the dagger in the hand of the Blood Dragon Platform elder, and his pupils contracted sharply.

The dagger gleamed with a cold light. It was pitch-black. It was a Treasure Blade!

HISS!

The Military General gasped.

Although he had never seen a Treasure Blade before, he knew it by instinct.

The dagger in the Blood Dragon Platform elder’s hand was no ordinary weapon!

"Damn that Blood Dragon Platform! How do they get their hands on everything?"

The Military General gritted his teeth, his fury soaring.

But while shocked, he did not panic. He kicked his heels hard into his horse’s belly, causing the steed beneath him to cry out in pain. He himself shot out like a sharp arrow.

BANG!

In an instant, the muscles in his right arm bulged as if cast from steel and concrete as he threw a vicious punch at the Blood Dragon Platform elder’s chest!

"A petty trick!"

The Blood Dragon Platform elder’s face was expressionless. He reached out his left hand, seized the Military General’s wrist, and easily blocked the attack.

"Hmph."

The Military General grunted, swiftly throwing his other fist at the Blood Dragon Platform elder.

Unexpectedly, the Blood Dragon Platform elder snorted coldly and struck out with his other fist.

POW!

Their fists collided, unleashing a deep, explosive sound.

STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!

From that one collision, the Military General was forced back several steps before he could steady himself. He looked up at the Blood Dragon Platform elder, his expression turning grave. "Such immense strength!"

"Who exactly are you? To think the Blood Dragon Platform would send someone of your caliber!"

The Military General watched the Blood Dragon Platform elder warily.

"Heh heh, a dead man like you doesn’t need to know who I am. However, I do have a question. If you answer it for me, I’ll grant you a quick death."

The Blood Dragon Platform elder said coolly, "Tell me, who tipped you off and put you on your guard?"

"Hahaha! Don’t even dream of finding out! It’s not over yet. Don’t celebrate too early." The Military General was stunned for a moment, then threw his head back and roared with laughter.

But just then, the Blood Dragon Platform elder’s expression changed abruptly. His figure blurred, and in what seemed like an instant, he reappeared behind the Military General, thrusting a finger toward his spine.

The Military General was greatly alarmed. He hurriedly turned to defend himself, simultaneously striking out with his right palm to stop the elder from getting closer.

RIP!

But the elder was faster. His sharp fingernails raked a bloody line across the Military General’s back, making the hair on his body stand on end.

At the same time, the Blood Dragon Platform elder’s assault intensified. He landed a vicious side kick on the Military General’s lower abdomen.

CRACK!

The sound of shattering bone rang out. The Military General let out a wretched scream as his body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing to the ground. He stared at the Blood Dragon Platform elder, his face filled with horror.

He never imagined he would be defeated so cleanly and utterly.

From that last strike, he could clearly feel that the elder was stronger, faster, and his angles of attack were more insidious. He was completely suppressed.

If not for his suit of armor, that last blow would have been enough to punch right through his abdomen.

"You..."

The Military General opened his mouth, but couldn’t get a single word out.

"Speak. Who leaked the information?" the Blood Dragon Platform elder said, looking down on him.

"In your dreams. I wouldn’t reveal anything even if I die," the Military General forced out the words.

"If that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Just then, a common soldier not far away suddenly roared and slashed his sword at the Blood Dragon Platform elder.

The sword strike was incredibly swift, having already locked onto the Blood Dragon Platform elder.

The Blood Dragon Platform elder’s pupils shrank, but he had no time to react.

SQUELCH!

The sword plunged deep into the Blood Dragon Platform elder’s shoulder, sending blood spurting out.

The Blood Dragon Platform elder cried out in pain, staggered a few steps, and collapsed to the ground. His aura was weak, and the wound was so deep the bone was visible.

"Hn? Who are you?" He clutched his wound, turning to look at the soldier who had ambushed him, his face dark.

"Heh heh." The soldier grinned, revealing a row of stark white teeth.

"You think I’m going to tell you?"

Before his voice had even faded, he charged toward the Blood Dragon Platform elder once more.

"You’re courting death!"

The Blood Dragon Platform elder flew into a rage. Enduring the excruciating pain, he scrambled to his feet and immediately tried to flee.

He knew from that single strike that he was no match for this person, even in a head-on fight.

’It seems this man is the true hidden ace of this squad.’

’Now that I’ve been wounded in a sneak attack and lost my Treasure Dagger, how could I dare to face him directly?’

"Trying to run? Stay right where you are!"

The man disguised as a soldier gave a cold laugh. With a flicker of his body, he caught up to the Blood Dragon Platform elder again. He thrust out his sword with ferocious, domineering power, like a slash from a great saber, and was about to take the man’s life.

But just at that moment—

WHOOSH!

A sharp, piercing sound cut through the air!

The soldier heard a sharp whistling by his ear that sent a chill down his spine. He whipped his head around just in time to see a crossbow bolt, wreathed in fierce Powerful Qi, flying at him from the side!

"Not good!"

The soldier’s expression changed drastically, and he scrambled to retreat.

THWIP!

But he was a step too slow. The crossbow bolt slammed into his arm, tearing away a large chunk of flesh.

"Heh heh, so it was you. A pity I didn’t catch the big fish."

At this moment, a young-looking boy lowered the dark crossbow in his hands and shook his head, looking quite regretful.

’To think I didn’t kill him with one shot. What a waste of a God-Breaking Crossbow bolt.’

’Still, I coated the arrowhead with poison long ago. One more move and I can easily kill him.’

He stood beside the Blood Dragon Platform elder, hands tucked into his sleeves, looking completely at ease, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

His aura was completely different from that of an ordinary brat.

Moreover, the fluctuations of Primordial Qi emanating from his body were even a notch stronger than the elder’s. He was also an Innate Grandmaster.

So this person was the true leader of the Blood Dragon Platform group, the one with the highest status and greatest skill.

Now that he had made his move, he had indeed subdued the hidden expert from the Great Wei court.

’As expected, every single one of them is treacherous. No wonder they say in the Jianghu that you must be most wary of the old and the young! It looks like, barring any accidents, their raid will be a success. They’ll even manage to kill two formidable Innate Grandmasters from the imperial court. What a bountiful harvest for them!’

Hidden in the shadows, Fang Yue sighed softly.

’But their luck is just too poor. They had to run into me.’

With that thought, a mocking smile touched the corners of Fang Yue’s lips. He slowly took out a stolen crossbow, raised it, and aimed at the Blood Dragon Platform elder. Then, he released the string—

SWOOSH!

A black streak of light shot out like lightning, heading straight for the space between the Blood Dragon Platform elder’s eyebrows.

"Not good!"

The Blood Dragon Platform elder’s face changed drastically. Sensing a fatal threat, his soul nearly fled his body. He ignored the wound on his shoulder and scrambled to escape.

However, no matter how fast he was, he wasn’t faster than the black light!

SPLAT!

A flash of crimson, and blood sprayed everywhere.

The Blood Dragon Platform elder’s pupils dilated as his life force rapidly faded. He fell to the ground with a thud.

Even in death, he couldn’t believe it. A distinguished master of the Blood Dragon Platform, a Mid-stage Innate existence who had already secured victory, had inexplicably fallen here?

This shocking turn of events left everyone on the scene stunned.

But the court’s Military General and the soldier knew this was a rare opportunity. Ignoring their injuries, they both charged toward the child-like master from the Blood Dragon Platform.

"You’re courting death!"

The child-like youth snorted coldly, a thick killing intent filling his eyes. He stomped his foot heavily, and the ground rumbled.

His entire body shot out like a cannonball, but he was actually running away.

He had been scared out of his wits by the hidden Fang Yue. ’Who knows how many more court experts are lurking in the shadows? It’s better to run first!’
