Chapter 2390 - 2395: Biting Back

Chapter 2390: Chapter 2395: Biting Back

As Gao Wei struggled to resist the Giant Beast.

A figure in a black robe descended.

An aura free of any Energy.

Without displaying Demon Might, yet possessing near-invincible strength!

Mysterious and unpredictable!

Aware that the strong figure before him knew all about his actions.

Gao Wei abandoned his dignity.

Striking out to escape the Giant Beast’s control.

He retreated a short distance, knelt down, and bowed to the figure in the black robe.

"I know I was wrong! I will never grab someone else’s possessions again, hoping for mercy, senior!"

Roar!

The roar of the Giant Beast seemed to overshadow Gao Wei’s confession.

He continued to kowtow on the ground.

The Giant Beast locked onto him.

It moved towards him with extreme speed.

"Help, senior!"

Crying out for help repeatedly, Gao Wei regretted immensely!

If he had known that mound was transformed from the powerful Demon Lord Beast’s strength.

Not even with eight hundred guts would he have dared to come.

Now, he could only pray Xia Liu would intervene to defeat the Demon Beast.

Otherwise, his demise was certain today!

At the critical moment.

A sound of something piercing through the air shattered the atmosphere.

Puchi!

Gao Wei looked up.

He saw a large hole open up on the Giant Beast’s forehead.

Green blood constantly seeped out from it.

And behind him, a translucent Demon Sword was embedded in the ground.

Emitting Near-God energy!

After being saved, Gao Wei continually kowtowed.

Expressing his gratitude to Xia Liu.

"Remember, keep a low profile from now on and act with integrity, otherwise it’s your head that’ll be split open!"

Xia Liu’s demonic voice reverberated, shocking all Demon Cultivators present.

Without waiting for Gao Wei’s response, Xia Liu stood on the Giant Beast’s head.

With one motion of his hand, a Demon Core flew out from its skull.

He then opened a jade bottle, applied Divine Skills, and directly extracted the Giant Beast’s Essence.

After doing all this, Xia Liu’s figure gradually faded, until his presence was no longer felt around.

"Saved!"

Gao Wei and others exhaled deeply with relief!

The thrill of such a close brush with death was unparalleled.

"Leader, look! That method of slaying beasts is exactly like that mysterious figure we’ve heard about recently!"

A team member pointed at the beast’s corpse in shock.

Gao Wei hurried over to check.

Indeed!

The Giant Beast was left with just skin wrapping around the bones.

The one who slaughtered this Demon Beast was the mysterious strong figure who had recently achieved legendary status in Demon Hunter City!

Thinking about this, Gao Wei suddenly became cheerful.

He wanted to bring this news back.

By then, the reward he’d receive would probably exceed that of capturing an ordinary Demon Beast!

...

Elsewhere, within a circle, Lan Lianxue dared not step out.

Until Xia Liu returned.

"Leader, where did you go just now? I was so worried."

Seeing Xia Liu dispel the spell and the aura disappear, Lan Lianxue showed concern.

"I had left something behind earlier; afraid the Demon Beast might trace my energy here, so I went to clean it up."

"Is everything settled now?"

Standing here safely was all thanks to Xia Liu.

Thus Lan Lianxue sincerely began to care for Xia Liu.

"Yes, all is fine now. Let’s leave immediately, find a place to rest, and explore the Demon Beast tomorrow."

"Okay!"

...

In the next few days.

Lan Lianxue and Xia Liu encountered another Demon Beast.

A strength equivalent to Lan Lianxue’s.

Xia Liu did not intervene, letting Lan Lianxue have her swing.

It was only after half a month that they returned.

Lan Lianxue had made significant gains this trip.

After the Giant Beast incident, she discovered three Demon Infant Level Demon Beasts one after another.

Xia Liu did not assist midway; she slew the Beasts herself.

Her combat experience and courage both improved.

Meanwhile, she had fully mastered her Demon Infant Mid-Stage strength.

Returning to Demon Hunter City, Lan Lianxue took her spoils to the trading shop to exchange for Demon Crystals.

She returned with two hundred Supreme Grade Demon Crystals for Xia Liu.

Yet Xia Liu refused to accept them.

This left her quite frustrated.

According to Xia Liu.

You felled the Demon Beast, so these items should belong to you.

"Leader, running a Mercenary Corps like this, isn’t it a loss?"

"Haha, losing a bit is fine if it keeps you happy."

In the distance, occupied Xia Liu didn’t mind these.

Because when leaving White Moon Kingdom.

Lan Yun gave him a Demon Crystal Card.

The balance on it could shock many.

At the time, he didn’t want to take it, but Lan Yun threatened with his life.

If Xia Liu didn’t accept, he would commit suicide.

This forced Xia Liu to accept.

"As long as you’re happy..."

Reciting Xia Liu’s teaching, Lan Lianxue arranged the Medicine Garden.

In a few months, the Medicine Garden had taken shape.

Demon Grass and Demon Flowers grew very well.

Estimated in five months at most, they could be harvested.

On the tenth day after they returned to the manor.

An unexpected incident occurred.

Noon, the courtyard entrance suddenly bustled.

Many Demon Cultivators watched from afar.

At the courtyard’s front, a group of Demon Cultivators held weapons, waiting fiercely for something.

"Tsk tsk! I searched for five days! Finally found the Osmanthus Mercenary Corps!"

The leader, Demon Infant Late Stage cultivation.

With a very familiar face.

It was Gao Wei, rescued by Xia Liu from the Giant Beast’s mouth that day!

Gao Wei immediately returned.

Then spread the news of the mysterious figure slaying the Beast and refining its Essence.

Demon Hunter City was once again shocked.

Later, hearing no more discussion about his matters, Gao Wei became increasingly uneasy.

For he always recalled the event’s process!

If not for Xia Liu and Lan Lianxue.

The Tianji Mercenary Corps wouldn’t have lost several Demon Infant Cultivators!

Moreover, he had been in a deadly crisis that day!

It was all caused by Xia Liu and Lan Lianxue!

He determined to find them for justice!

Thus, after a few days searching.

He finally found the Osmanthus Mercenary Corps’ location.

"Are you Osmanthus Mercenary Corps ready to be rendered Wastes!"

As it was a personal vendetta.

And Gao Wei had already reported to the City Lord’s Mansion beforehand.

It was like the villain lodging a complaint first.

Today, challenging him, except for killing Xia Liu and Lan Lianxue.

He could do anything!

Such as crippling their Cultivation!

"Osmanthus Mercenary Corps, come out and meet your fate!"

"Osmanthus Mercenary Corps, come out and meet your fate!"

...

Under Gao Wei’s command, many Demon Cultivators shouted loudly.

Onlookers pointed and commented.

They’d never heard of the Osmanthus Mercenary Corps.

Offending the second-tier Tianji Mercenary Corps, they feared it wouldn’t exist beyond today.

In the next moment, the courtyard doors slowly opened.

A familiar silhouette emerged.

Seeing Gao Wei appear again, seeking revenge, Xia Liu was somewhat puzzled.

Even a bit regrettable.

This kind of trash should have been torn apart by the Giant Beast at the time.

Leaving him would only cause trouble for himself.

"Osmanthus Mercenary Corps leader, do you remember me?"

Gao Wei raised his war blade, rising anger, glaring at Xia Liu.
