Chapter 2391 - 2396: Abandonment

Chapter 2391: Chapter 2396: Abandonment

The moment the giant beast appeared.

Xia Liu was fleeing with Lan Lianxue.

Then he and his team members fought fiercely.

You could say, he was a shield, covering for Xia Liu and Lan Lianxue’s escape.

At the same time, because of them, he found himself in such trouble.

So, after returning, how could Gao Wei possibly let Xia Liu go!

He was fortunate that Xia Liu and Lan Lianxue returned alive from Sea Demon Island.

Otherwise, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.

"For you to return alive from Sea Demon Island, you must have received assistance."

Xia Liu continued, "Although I’m not sure what assistance you received, why didn’t you reflect a bit after that incident?"

"Haha! It’s not your place to lecture me!"

After the laughter, Gao Wei’s expression suddenly became agitated.

"If it weren’t for the Osmanthus Mercenary Corps, I wouldn’t have been so miserable! And lost a few team members!"

"Seems like you got it wrong? If you hadn’t come to snatch our prey, how would you have been in crisis?"

Xia Liu was extremely annoyed.

When something happens, he doesn’t look for flaws in himself; he just thinks everything is someone else’s fault.

Such a person, it’s deserved even if they die!

"In a world where the strong are respected, what did I do wrong? You’re weak and deserve to be robbed!"

As he said this, Gao Wei had a smug look on his face.

He was at Demon Infant Late Stage cultivation!

And he had the Tianji Mercenary Corps.

He ought to be confident!

Xia Liu was defiant, so show the kind of confidence that makes others fear!

"Today, I’m here for myself and my fallen brothers, to take your life!"

"Ridiculous! You should have died on Sea Demon Island!"

Thinking he could kill him, Gao Wei might as well have floated to the heavens.

But there were many demon cultivators around, so Xia Liu certainly couldn’t slaughter the Tianji Mercenary Corps.

The impact would be too big.

The City Lord of Demon Hunter City, who had reached Demon Lord Rank eight, might take an interest.

And step in to manage.

Right now, Xia Liu didn’t have the capital to provoke a Demon Lord of Rank eight.

So he couldn’t be too ostentatious.

"Hmph! It’s you who should be the one to die!"

With words of rage settled, Gao Wei raised his battle blade, utilizing his movement technique, intending to kill Xia Liu!

Earlier, he didn’t have this mindset.

But now it was different.

Upon seeing Xia Liu, his resentment and anger kept rising.

Only by killing him could he quell all the wrath!

At the critical moment.

A ghostly figure darted out from the courtyard.

The purple demon sword gracefully received Gao Wei’s battle blade.

Immediately, the sound of weapons clashing was incessant.

"Captain! Let me engage him for a while. If I’m at a disadvantage, then you step in."

Lan Lianxue wasn’t afraid of being laughed at, even though she was just at Demon Infant Mid-Stage cultivation.

Facing Gao Wei was still only barely manageable.

Of course, killing the opponent was impossible.

As expected, after a short fight, Lan Lianxue began to lose ground.

Just as she was about to be injured, a calm voice echoed in her mind.

"Raise your sword and strike at his dantian!"

"Huh?"

In panic, Lan Lianxue had no idea what was happening.

She just raised her hand and stabbed blindly.

Suddenly.

The sword tip split into several streams of essence sword qi.

These streams of sword qi split open the void, revealing a twisted otherworldly space.

Before anyone could react to the void’s fragmentation.

A crisp sound shattered everything.

Only to see the battle blade blocking in front of Gao Wei shattered, and the sword qi pierced through his dantian!

The raging magic power continually spilled from within.

In an instant, Gao Wei’s demon body withered to the extreme!

It could be confirmed, after this moment, Gao Wei’s demon body had become a waste!

If his Demon Infant were also injured, he would be completely finished!

With his own body suddenly pierced, a tremendous pain spread through Gao Wei’s body.

The Tianji Mercenary Corps that came with him looked at Lan Lianxue in fear.

Each one showed a look of disbelief.

How could this be possible!

Lan Lianxue was only at Demon Infant Mid-Stage.

How could she penetrate Gao Wei’s demon body?

Even in such an impossible situation where miracles couldn’t happen.

Yet the result left everyone dumbfounded.

The watching demon cultivators couldn’t make sense of it.

"Ah!"

Unable to hold on, Gao Wei screamed in pain.

This demon body was obtained through body-snatching.

Now being destroyed, he could never perform another body snatch in the future.

Otherwise, his Demon Infant would instantly collapse.

This is a rule of both the Cultivation Realm and the Demon Realm!

Unless his cultivation reached Demon Lord rank, he might find a secret technique for a second body snatch.

A Demon Infant Late Stage like Gao Wei couldn’t do it.

Ensuring his Demon Infant isn’t severely damaged.

He might still have a chance to regain some power in the future.

But exhibiting divine skills or using this body to battle was impossible.

"You dare destroy my body! I’ll kill you!"

Gao Wei’s eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

If only he still had Peak Power, he guaranteed, Lan Lianxue wouldn’t survive for a heartbeat!

"Hmph! Someone like you should remain a cripple for life!"

Lan Lianxue’s temper was fiery too.

Though she didn’t understand whose voice echoed in her mind.

Nor why Gao Wei’s dantian was breached.

But seeing this situation, she felt avenged.

"Damn it! Tianji Mercenary Corps, at my command! Dismember the two of them!"

Gao Wei clutched his pierced dantian while seated on the ground.

Even if he was dying, he wanted to drag Xia Liu and Lan Lianxue down with him!

"I’d like to see who dares!"

Lan Lianxue raised her sword, pointing towards the Tianji Mercenary Corps.

Thinking of her Demon Infant Mid-Stage cultivation, and possible unseen help in the shadows.

If the Tianji Mercenary Corps dared to come, she’d fight!

The captain’s foundation had already been destroyed.

Symbolizing the loss of his status and identity within the group.

At this moment, no one carried out Gao Wei’s order.

"What are you all standing around for? Do it!"

Gao Wei roared.

"Gao Wei, you’re already not the captain of the Tianji Mercenary Corps; because of you, we lost several team members! Do we need more? We don’t want to ruin our future over this."

"Exactly! You’re an unqualified captain! Now that your foundation is destroyed, you’ll have no future rebound."

"Since you’re no longer the captain, handle today’s matter yourself."

With that, the members of the Tianji Mercenary Corps looked at Xia Liu and Lan Lianxue, making an unexpected move.

"Our apologies to both of you, for disturbing today."

Even the Demon Infant Late Stage Gao Wei was inexplicably pierced.

Anyone with a brain would know something wasn’t right.

If this stalemate continued, they’d fear their total annihilation.

"Leave, but if any of you ever seek revenge, you must be prepared to die."

Xia Liu said calmly.

"It’s a misunderstanding, friends. We shall meet again!"

Soon, the demon cultivators of the Tianji Mercenary Corps disappeared around the corner.

And the gathered demon cultivators gradually dispersed.

The Osmanthus Mercenary Corps, they all remembered, and knew not to provoke them in the future.

On the other side, the abandoned Gao Wei sank into an unprecedented nightmare.

He never imagined.

He would lose everything!

"Just go, and I hope we don’t meet again."
