135: Senior brother?

"A divine weapon of this quality shouldn't be used by a Martial Artist of your level... It seems you have quite a background."

His vision dim, Chu Yuan struggled to open his eyes;

Through the swirling dust, he saw a tall Crystal Fire Clan member holding the ink shadow in his hand, full of curiosity.

"..." The wind slasher hadn't lasted long before he was forced to self-detonate it;

Was the ink shadow now going to follow in its predecessor's footsteps?

Chu Yuan complained inwardly, secretly taking out an Epiphyllum Lure and holding it under his tongue, ready to swallow it at any moment!

The tall Crystal Fire Clan member didn't care about his small movements, saying calmly, "You killed my dog, so you will be my dog; Submit, or die. I will only give you three breaths of time to decide."

"This is still the territory of the Ninth Legion. You are courting death." Chu Yuan mocked;

"I don't like your nonsense." He shook his head, and a thread of light drifted from the crystal between his brows, landing on Chu Yuan.

The light thread expanded in an instant, forming a web that branded itself deeply onto Chu Yuan's exposed skin;

An extreme burning pain struck, and Chu Yuan couldn't help but let out a muffled groan!

Fortunately, he had the close protection of his black armor...

"I also don't like you acting so arrogant." Chu Yuan's eyes flashed, and the Glazed Void Domain was suddenly activated;

At the same time, this Seventh Realm Crystal Fire Clan member looked up at the front with a solemn expression!

A black long arrow that seemed to slightly distort space flew over silently! Like a top-tier assassin, a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows... it arrived in front of him in a flash!

The crystal between his brows lit up, and just as he was about to counterattack, he didn't expect a not-so-weak mental attack to suddenly strike...

Although it wouldn't cause him any injury, he still unavoidably dazed for a moment;

It was this split second that caused him to be unable to block in time, only slightly shifting his body...

Chu Yuan didn't even see the trajectory of the black arrow before he saw the Seventh Realm Crystal Fire Clan member's half-body suddenly explode into a sky full of blood mist!

He circulated his spiritual power, and the thrown ink shadow returned to his hand again...

Watching Zhang Yue sweep over his head, chasing the stream of light in the distance, Chu Yuan hurriedly spat out the Epiphyllum Lure from under his tongue;

I told you that acting arrogant would get you killed, but you didn't believe me...

Defection, especially the defection of a high-level Martial Artist, is a very serious matter;

Let alone Zhang Yue, even if the Legion Commander of the Ninth Legion came in person, Chu Yuan wouldn't be surprised...

It was precisely because his Divine Sense had discovered Zhang Yue that he didn't rush to swallow the Epiphyllum Lure.

"Chu Yuan!" Yuan Yang's voice came, carrying a hint of lingering fear;

He looked Chu Yuan up and down a few times before asking, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Yuan Yang finally relaxed and said with a straight face, "You've only been on the Outer Heaven Battlefield for a few days, and you dare to provoke a Seventh Realm? Give you another ten days or half a month, and will you not even care about the Eighth Realm anymore?"

"..." Chu Yuan felt very wronged: "I couldn't just watch Dong Jianyuan run away..."

"Why didn't you wait for us to arrive before attacking together?"

Chu Yuan thought for a moment; it seemed like Li Mengru had attacked first, which had invited the counterattack...

However, he didn't know what the situation was with Li Mengru now, and he didn't want to explain, so he sighed and said, "Understood."

"Where is Dong Jianyuan?"

"Dead."

"Dead?" Yuan Yang was a bit surprised, then his eyes drifted as he said, "Did you kill him?"

"...What if I didn't kill him?"

"Then your contribution will be a little smaller... It's just a pity about the fire flame gold on Dong Jianyuan. That's nearly a year's accumulation from the No. 7 Mine..."

Chu Yuan pondered: "Then what if I killed him, but I didn't get his storage ring? You know, I was being hunted by a Seventh Realm, I didn't have time..."

"That's enough, respect General Zhang's intelligence..."

"What intelligence?" Zhang Yue's voice suddenly rang out behind Yuan Yang, like a ghost, startling Yuan Yang;

"Senior Brother! Did you resolve it?"

Zhang Yue put away the black longbow in his hand and frowned: "What Senior Brother? How many times have I told you, use titles during official duties!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Yuan Yang replied repeatedly, asking curiously, "What about that Seventh Realm Crystal Fire Clan member?"

"He ran away."

"He ran away!?" Yuan Yang was stunned, with a suspicious look on his face: "You mean, after taking your arrow head-on, he dragged his heavily injured body and escaped while you were hunting him?"

Although he said a lot, to Zhang Yue, it sounded like only four words: 'What a waste'...

Zhang Yue's face immediately darkened, and he glared fiercely at Yuan Yang, before saying to Chu Yuan: "Chu Yuan, your performance this time was very good. You rooted out a tumor within the Legion! I will personally request a commendation for you; continue with your mission..."

After he finished speaking, he left directly, not giving anyone else a chance to speak, and even less did he ask about the whereabouts of the fire flame gold stock at the No. 7 Mine.

Chu Yuan looked at Yuan Yang with a strange expression;

"Captain, are you and General Zhang Senior and Junior Brothers?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Yuan Yang fiddled with the large bow in his hand and smiled: "It's not hard to tell, right? My bow is even bigger than his!"

"..." Chu Yuan thought to himself, no wonder he joined the Bell Tower Squad so smoothly;

No wonder a mission like clearing the Lianshan Secret Realm, which had both benefits and allowed one to gain favors, was taken by the Bell Tower Squad... They even delayed for a few days just to wait for him.

So, Old Zhang was securing benefits for his own Junior Brother?

"Have you been to the mine?"

"We just came from there."

"How is Mengru?"

The smile on Yuan Yang's face faded, and he shook his head slowly: "Very bad... Even if she wakes up, she will probably have to retreat to the rear to recuperate; Being ambushed by a Sixth Realm, just being able to save her life is already a stroke of luck..."

"Can't it be healed?"

"Anyway, Wang Ying doesn't have any particularly good methods..."

...

Shuo Feng lay on his back on the ground, his lifeless eyes frozen in terror;

A long arrow was stuck vertically between his brows, pinning him firmly to the ground...

A tattered figure walked over quietly, searching the corpses of Shuo Feng and Dong Jianyuan, occasionally looking nervously at the horizon;

However, he ultimately failed to find any storage ring, cursed a few times in a low voice, and quickly left.

It was the Seventh Realm Crystal Fire Clan expert from before!

Although he had been caught off guard and backstabbed by Chu Yuan, causing half of his body to be shattered;

But as a Seventh Realm, he always had a few trump cards, and after paying some expensive costs, he finally managed to escape.

Originally, he still had some wishful thinking, wanting to come back to see if Dong Jianyuan's storage ring was still there, so that the fire flame gold inside could at least compensate for his losses... He didn't expect the other party to have cleaned them out so thoroughly!

That damn idiot Dong Jianyuan, didn't he know how to hide his storage ring before he died?

But even more damnable is that young-looking Great Qin Martial Artist...
