Chapter 710: Chapter 698: Mandarin Duck Swords!

Choosing those Martial Artists to go down and scout was exactly what those self-proclaimed superior Martial Venerable powerhouses would do. All it took was for those people to point their finger at some Martial Artists without backing or strength, and those individuals would have to go down. If they dared to defy, that would spell utter destruction for them.

"You! You! You three go down next!" a Martial Venerable, who seemed to be around thirty years old, casually picked out three Martial Artists and said.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The three Martial Artists—two from the Two-star Martial Sect Realm and one from the Eight-star Martial Emperor Realm—were randomly chosen by that individual to scout the path ahead, effectively being sent to their deaths, and immediately could not help but scream out loud.

"What? Do you have a problem with that?" Seeing the three of them make a noise, the Martial Venerable’s brows furrowed, and a displeased expression spread across his face as he spoke to them.

"We wouldn’t dare! Wouldn’t dare! Wouldn’t dare!"

Seeing the expression on the face of the Martial Venerable and hearing his stern shout, the three hurriedly exclaimed their compliance!

The road had been swept by two powerful forces just now, so there was a possibility of surviving if they went down. However, if they angered this person, they would surely die!

Then, the assignment of sacrificial soldiers continued. Many haughty Martial Artists started to arbitrarily point at those low-level Martial Artists without backing or strength. Those who were picked, although reluctant in their hearts, had no choice but to endure it.

That’s just how cruel this world was—the strong reigned supreme!

As the powerful ones began to select sacrificial soldiers, Yue Shaochong’s neck tensed up tightly, and his collar almost covered his face. He unconsciously adopted this manner to avoid the attention of those strong individuals!

However, the selection of sacrificial soldiers soon ended. Those self-proclaimed exceptional powerhouses assigned over a hundred sacrificial soldiers in total, but Yue Shaochong was relatively fortunate, having not been picked by anyone.

After the assignment ended, Yue Shaochong’s entire body seemed to lighten, and he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

At this moment, Yue Shaochong relaxed and smiled, looking towards Shi Feng and didn’t forget to teach him,

"Little Shi Feng, remember this—sometimes, luck is also a form of strength. Your Brother Yue here has indeed relied on luck for many years to narrowly escape death several times. Luck is also related to the concept of fate and fortune, which is somewhat complex and profound. I’m afraid your brain might not be able to process so much information at once, so I won’t go into it right now."

While Yue Shaochong was confidently coaching Shi Feng, the several hundred sacrificial soldiers had no choice but to prepare to go down and scout. It was at that moment a young male voice suddenly rang out, "Wait! I want to send two more down to scout!"

Upon hearing this voice, gazes immediately turned toward the speaker. When they saw who was speaking, someone said, "It’s Murong Kang with his wife, the Mandarin Duck Sword Tiant Qingqing, with him!"

"It’s the Mandarin Duck Sword!"

When Yue Shaochong heard that familiar voice, the arrogance that had been on his face when he was talking to Shi Feng froze instantly, his body trembled slightly as he slowly turned his head, and his face gradually took on a cold cast.

As Yue Shaochong faced the man, he said fiercely, "Murong Kang! Tiant Qingqing!"

The man who had just spoken was none other than the man Yue Shaochong had referred to as ’the adulterous couple’ that they had seen in the forest!

At that moment, Murong Kang, the man in question, had a mocking cold smile playing at the corner of his mouth as he watched Yue Shaochong, and his wife, Tiant Qingqing, beside him, also wore a mocking smile.

Murong Kang spoke up and said to Yue Shaochong, "I really didn’t expect this, Yue Shaochong. I thought you were already dead! However, your time is coming soon. Watch as I play you to death!"

"You are a Martial Venerable Realm powerhouse, it’s natural for you to assign two people to scout ahead. You have that right!" At this time, Beiyuan City’s City Lord, Yuan Yi, spoke to Murong Kang.

Murong Kang turned his head and gave a distant fist salute to Yuan Yi, then, with a gaze full of mockery, he fixated once again on Yue Shaochong.

"You two, a pair of despicable lovers, truly have vicious hearts! You used such base means back then, to set me up in such a ruthless way. Now, you still refuse to let me go! Despicable lovers! You despicable pair!"

Yue Shaochong naturally knew that seeing him, these two would not let him off, so he steeled his heart and began to curse out loud!

Hearing Yue Shaochong cursing, the faces of Murong Kang and Tiant Qingqing instantly turned cold. At that moment, Murong Kang pointed at Yue Shaochong and coldly shouted, "Get the hell down there quickly! Otherwise, I will dismember you on the spot!"

After finishing this sentence to Yue Shaochong, Murong Kang then pointed at Shi Feng and shouted again, "And you, this waste, since you’re in league with that trash, you might as well die together!"

"Hmph! I’ll go if I have to go. You think I’m afraid of you?" Faced with his mortal enemy, Yue Shaochong suddenly welled up with pride, lifted his head, puffed out his chest, and spoke without fear.

He then looked at Shi Feng and said, "Little Shi Feng, let’s go!"

After Yue Shaochong finished speaking, before the more than one hundred cannon fodder had even started descending, he took the lead and leaped down.

At that moment, Shi Feng kept a calm expression and followed Yue Shaochong downward.

"You all go and scout the way too!" Seeing Yue Shaochong and Shi Feng flying downwards, a Martial Venerable strongman spoke up and in an arrogant tone ordered the more than one hundred cannon fodder to descend.

Under that commanding shout and the gaze of many eyes, these people naturally did not dare to dally, and the group of more than one hundred also began to drop down!

"Sister, why didn’t you just finish it earlier and kill that Yue Beast straight away? His mouth is really too foul!" In the sky above, Tiant Qingqing looked down at the figures descending below and coldly spoke to Murong Kang.

Hearing Tiant Qingqing’s words, a cold smile once again appeared on the corners of Murong Kang’s mouth, and he said, "Kill him? That would be letting this trash off too easy!"

Following that, Murong Kang continued, "This beast has already been marked by both of us. Do you think he can escape now? I want to kill him slowly! Before he dies, I want him to feel that committing suicide earlier would have been a blissful thing to do!"

Murong Kang had already schemed up a plan to torment Yue Shaochong to death upon seeing him once again!

At this moment, Murong Kang still watched Yue Shaochong intently. If Yue Shaochong really encountered danger, he even wanted to save that dog’s life, to alternate him between life and death, and death and life! He enjoyed the feeling of having this trash’s life and death completely in his control!

Until he toyed him to death!

..

Below, Yue Shaochong, who was still descending, suddenly said to Shi Feng beside him, "Little Shi Feng, let’s not fly down so quickly! We should deliberately slow down our speed, but don’t let others catch on!

We want those cannon fodder to go down first! That way, if there’s any danger, it’ll be them who encounter it first, and we can dodge in time!"

Hearing Yue Shaochong’s words, Shi Feng smiled and said, "All right, there won’t be any danger until we enter that Bronze Palace, so just go ahead without worry."

After speaking, Shi Feng even accelerated his descent. He wanted to get down there first to see the Bronze Palace that dated back to the Ancient Period!
