Chu Chen who was at the edge of the nest heard the roar, immediately narrowing his eyes!
Although Black Abyss Sect belonged to the evil factions, she was still a young woman in black’s sect after all. How could she single-handedly eliminate an entire sect?
‘Was she such a ruthless and vicious witch?’
This young woman before him looked at most around 17 or 18 years of age. Moreover, her appearance was breathtaking. Could her heart truly be that twisted? Could she be the evil beauty as described in legends, the evil witch that everyone feared?
For some reason, Chu Chen’s head could only think of the image of her pair of warm hands lifting him up from the ground.
“Is poisoning the spring that I drink from something people of the good faction would do just because they’re not my match?”
The black witch seemed calm. Hearing the righteous questioning from the Secret Sky Sect, the edge of her lips smirked, revealing an icy smile. However, the next moment, her expression suddenly changed. Her face turned red and a line of deep red blood leaked slowly from the edge of her mouth.
“The demon girl is poisoned!”
“Today is when her vitality nears its end!”
“Now is the time to vanquish evil for the people!”
Seeing that, the disciples from Secret Sky Sect took on a hint of exciting looks. Right then, the tactical formation was activated. In an instant, beams of bright light shot into the sky, transforming into a net of swords that covered the area, sealing every inch of the space around them before shooting toward the young woman!
“Secret Sky Sword Formation? I’d like to check it out!”
The black witch snickered as her palms brightened. Suddenly, a blinding silvery flash exploded forth. In an instant, a second sun seemed to have arisen in the air. Its overwhelming power meeting the net of swords pouring from the sky.
Boom!
A blinding wave burst forth. Sword waves and saber forces shot everywhere, sending sands and dust flying in all directions. Within the dust storm, a bright red beam erupted from the black witch’s body.
It would seem the badly poisoned black witch was no match going head-on with the joint tactical formation of the Secret Sky Sect, leading to her suffering heavy damage.
The black witch’s eyes flashed determinedly, but her body lowered slightly before she suddenly turned into countless shadowy figures. The precious sword gleaming coldly in her arm had also multiplied.
In the sea of sand and dust, bursts of blinding silver flashes danced around in the air as the glow on her sword could be seen darting about. Every time it cut across the air, it was followed by copious amounts of blood. In just a moment, the calm entrance to Black Fog Valley turned into a bloody, hellish scene!
An expert’s moves were truly grand!
However, Chu Chen was not stunned by the countless flashes darting around. He was fully focused on the young woman. Each time the sword flash grazed passed her, she would be breathing laboriously.
Even if she was a witch or a demon girl, she was his savior. She must live!
“Demon girl, even if I have to cut you to a thousand pieces, it would not satiate my hatred!”
Along with a thundering bellow, a green light burst forth, exploding in the air, instantly putting a stop to the dance of death being done by the silver sword flashes.
With another bellowing shout, a petite figure in black was spraying copious amounts of blood, flying up high into the air before slamming into the ground.
In an instant, everything was still.
The entire world went unnervingly silent.
In the brief exchange, the many scenes caused Chu Chen to feel dizzy. Only when he calmed to observe did he realize the black witch was lying in a pool of blood at death’s door. Meanwhile, only five of the disciples from Secret Sky Sect that formed the tactical formation were still standing. The rest of them were decapitated!
The few disciples of the Secret Sky Sect that remained were also wounded. Their expressions were steeped in hatred, vengeance, and rage as they glared at the witch lying on the ground, wishing to skin her alive!
The young woman was strong, managing to retaliate to such an extent while being poisoned.
“Little tramp! I’ll strip you naked and dump you into Black Fog Valley!”
“Serves you right! Let me break her limbs first!”
“You’ve killed so many of our disciple brothers. It’s time to settle the score.”
The five disciples from Secret Sky Sect laughed maniacally as they approached the black witch, as though they wanted to tear her to a million pieces.
The young woman was emotionless, without a shred of fear. She only took one last look at the eagle nest not far away, showing a hint of reluctance and concern.
Just as she was about to take her own life, a young man’s sound could be heard coming from behind. “If you’re gone, what should I do? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll get lost and wander into Black Fog Valley?”
The five disciples from the Secret Sky Sect were on edge, looking northwards together. A handsome young man appeared from behind the cliff, descending on them suddenly.
The five turned around. Noticing the young man was wearing the robes from the Crystal Spring Sect, they frowned. However, when they saw that Chu Chen had no symbols on his chest, a sneer appeared on their faces.
In all the sects, only internal disciples or those with higher ranking would have their sect’s symbol embroidered on their chest as a sign of their status and identity. External disciples were not qualified to have that embroidered.
Strictly speaking, external disciples were not considered actual disciples. They were at most considered servants in the sect, redundant.
An external disciple dared to speak so rudely and stand in front of the black witch. Moreover, when checking the aura on him, his spiritual energy was unstable. It was obvious that he had not even reached the Spiritual Droplets Stage where one would perform spiritual condensation. The five immediately broke into laughter from the amusement.
“Kiddo, you’re trying to play the hero?”
“With your cultivation only at the Spiritual Mist Stage, you’re trying to act tough? Don’t you realize that you will only lose your life?”
“Our Secret Sky Sect and Crystal Spring Sect should be allies, yet as a member of the proper sect, you’re thinking of being an ally to this evil demon girl. We’ll be doing the seniors of your sect a favor by getting rid of trash like you.”
The five of them had a ruthless look as they approached Chu Chen. They openly displayed the killing intent in their eyes as they secretly formed a blockade to surround him.
Chu Chen knew that as an upright sect, they would not let him live as he had witnessed them poisoning others.
All of them were at the Spiritual Droplets Stage with the weakest being at the early stages of that stage. It was only natural for them to not take an external disciple of the Spiritual Mist Stage like him seriously.
However, since he dared to stand up for the black witch, he more or less had a plan on how he was going to win the fight. His opponents were five experts with a higher cultivation stage than him after all.
The other Spiritual Mist Stage cultivators might have chosen to sit this out, but Chu Chen would not do that. He had already killed Yao Long who was at the first level of Spiritual Droplets Stage, giving him some experience in killing someone above his stage.
