Chapter 521 Can it also breathe fire?
A scream rang out, and Wang Jie turned his head sharply, only to see a scene that chilled him to the bone.
But less than five steps away, a martial artist who had also joined the Qingwang Mansion had a hideous wound on his neck, from which a large amount of blood was gushing out.
The martial artist looked down in disbelief at his wounds and tried to cover the gushing blood with his hands, but it was no use!
As large amounts of blood fell to the ground, the martial artist's life continued to ebb away, and he soon stopped breathing completely.
Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Jie's pupils trembled, and he felt his hands and feet turn icy cold.
He was less than five steps away from the slain martial artist. If Xiaoyuan had chosen him as her target, wouldn't he be the one who died?
It's important to understand that the martial artist who was instantly killed by Xiaoyuan was a fifth-rank cultivator, far stronger than Wang Jie. Yet, he didn't even have time to react before Xiaoyuan slit his throat and killed him instantly...
This is absolutely appalling!
"What kind of strange beast is this?"
Jiang Canghai was shocked, his face filled with disbelief, because even he, a peak fourth-rank cultivator, had not been able to see Xiao Yuan's figure clearly, let alone perceive how Xiao Yuan had killed that martial artist.
"Could this be a demonic beast?"
Zhu the Butcher and Qianli'er exchanged bewildered glances. Xiao Yuan's speed was simply too fast, so fast that even with their fourth-rank eyesight, they couldn't discern her figure.
Xia Yuanying's pupils contracted, and his expression turned solemn.
He had a good memory and remembered that the martial artist who was killed was named Zhang Ye, and his strength was at the fifth rank, exactly the same as his own.
In other words... Xiao Yuan, who could instantly kill Zhang Ye, could also instantly kill Xia Yuanying!
"Hey."
The small circle, which had taken a life with a single blow, landed on the ground, its dark eyes staring at Wang Jie and the others.
The martial artists who noticed Xiao Yuan's gaze all felt their scalps tingle. Xiao Yuan's ghostly speed made them dare not make any rash moves. They could only move their feet and gather together, trying to guard against Xiao Yuan's attack.
Upon seeing this, its small, round, black, button-like eyes moved slightly, as if it were thinking.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaoyuan opened her mouth.
"boom!"
A burst of flame shot out from Xiao Yuan's mouth, heading straight for Wang Jie and the others.
"Damn it!"
The expressions of Wang Jie and the other martial artists changed, and they scattered to avoid the attack.
"It can breathe fire?"
Qianli'er was stunned. Even as an information broker with extensive knowledge, he had never encountered a fire-breathing beast before!
What kind of strange beast is this?
Qianli'er, Zhu Tufu, Li Qingsong, Jiang Canghai and others were filled with doubts.
Xia Yuanying's expression grew increasingly solemn; he had never expected that Chen Dao would be accompanied by such a strange beast.
As for Wang Jie and others...
The opening appeared when they scattered to avoid the flames.
Xiao Yuan transformed into a black shadow and swept past a sixth-rank martial artist.
"not good!"
As the martial artist dodged the flames, alarm bells rang in his mind, but before he could react, a sharp pain shot through his neck.
"Uh."
The martial artist looked down and saw red blood gushing from his neck, staining the ground crimson.
"Hehehe".
The martial artist opened his mouth as if to say something, but with his throat slashed, he could only make hoarse sounds. Then, his strength gradually faded from his body.
Finally, everything went black before his eyes, and he collapsed onto the cold ground.
At the moment of his death, his eyes remained wide open, as if he was extremely reluctant to leave this world and filled with endless regret.
A sixth-rank martial artist is already considered to be among the elite, even a privileged class in the Xia Kingdom.
It's no exaggeration to say that a sixth-rank martial artist in the Xia Kingdom has a higher status than an ordinary county magistrate. If he chooses to live a peaceful life, he can live a life of comfort and even luxury.
Unfortunately, a moment of greed led him to choose to serve the Green King, and he ultimately perished in front of the Green King's mansion.
"Another one died."
"Why is this damned beast so troublesome?"
"It's extremely fast and can breathe fire; we have no way to deal with this beast."
"..."
Looking at the fallen martial artist, Wang Jie and the rest of the group couldn't help but feel a sense of shared fate and their fear grew stronger.
When faced with an unknown and invincible opponent, it is inevitable that people will feel fear and dread.
And the opponent they were facing at that moment was undoubtedly Xiaoyuan.
With ghostly speed, its claws could easily slit the throat of a mid-level martial artist, and it could also breathe fire...
It can be said that Xiaoyuan was the most terrifying opponent they had ever encountered in their lives.
"Are we still going to risk our lives for Xia Yuanying?"
Chen Dao looked at Wang Jie and the others and said, "Put down your weapons and leave this place, and I can spare your lives."
Upon hearing this, a look of struggle flashed across the faces of Wang Jie and the others.
They were willing to work for Xia Yuanying because Xia Yuanying could offer them sufficient benefits.
But no amount of profit can compare to the importance of one's own life!
What's the point of profit if you're already dead?
"Young man, I'm willing to leave, please let me go."
"I'm willing to leave too."
"me too."
"..."
After considering it for less than a few seconds, Wang Jie and the others made their choice: to betray the Green King.
There was no other way; that beast was too terrifying. If they didn't betray the Azure King, they would all probably die here.
So everyone threw their weapons on the ground and left the place. However, they didn't go too far. They stopped not far from the main gate of the Qingwang Mansion to see what would happen next.
Xia Yuanying's expression grew increasingly grim upon seeing these martial artists choose to betray him.
He had spent a great deal of effort and promised many benefits to recruit these martial artists, but unexpectedly... in less than a quarter of an hour, they all betrayed him.
"very good!"
Seeing that all the martial artists who had blocked his way had left, Chen Dao laughed, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Now that there's no one else to interfere, Xia Yuanying, it's time for you to go!"
"Choke!"
Chen Dao drew his sword, the blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Dao stomped his right foot on the ground.
"boom!"
The immense force shattered the blue bricks beneath his feet, and Chen Dao, unleashing his full power, shot towards the Azure King like an arrow released from a bow.
"Hmph, what an ignorant brat who doesn't know his place!"
Despite his grim expression, Xia Yuanying reacted promptly to Chen Dao's attack.
Xia Yuanying moved his feet to dodge the incoming sword, then clenched his right fist and threw a punch!
