NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 49
Chapter 49 Immortal Brother,Terrifying Methods(1)
Hearing Wang Yu’s words,Zhao Shao Yue was stunned and immediately panicked,no longer caring to look at the”immortal brother.”
Throughout their escape,she had witnessed the immense power and terror of those cultivators firsthand.
They could fly,move mountains,and fill seas—capable of anything.
If it weren’t for the few treasures they obtained in that forbidden land called Fallen Dragon Valley,they would have probably been captured already.
Moreover,she had only recently joined the Huan Yan Ancient Sect.
Although the elder mentioned her strong talent,she hadn’t been cultivating for long.
Their survival all this time was mainly thanks to Wang Yu.
“In a moment,I’ll find a way to delay them.You run to the other side of the mine as fast as you can.”
“Their target is me.Shao Yue,you have great talent.As long as you find a sect and focus on cultivation,you’ll become very powerful in no time.”
Wang Yu’s expression turned serious as she noticed the footsteps in the mine getting closer.
Zhao Shao Yue panicked further,saying,”Sister Yu,your words sound like you’re giving me your last instructions.”
“I’ll be fine,”Wang Yu comforted her,then instinctively glanced back in the previous direction.
She saw that slender figure in white on the distant hill,seemingly watching them with great interest,exuding an extraordinary aura under the moonlight,looking like an immortal.
Her expression turned blank for a moment.
Thud!!!
Thud!!!
Thud!!!
Next moment,heavy footsteps echoed through the mine.
Many mining slaves,engrossed in their work,were startled,their faces showing fear,clearly recalling some terrifying legends about the Shenxu Ancient Mine.
“Judging by the tracks,they could only have fled this direction.”
“Those two have sure been running,all the way from the Northern Region,even hitching a ride on a caravan across a domain…”
At this moment,a cold voice tinged with mockery broke the night’s silence.
A dozen knights,clad in armor and wielding sky-blade swords,approached.
They rode fierce beasts resembling tigers and lions,slowly making their way into the mine from outside.
The ominous aura they emitted terrified many mining slaves,leaving them paralyzed and trembling.
Swish,swish,swish…
With a swift stroke of their swords,blood splattered,and all the mining slaves in their way were slaughtered,their screams echoing.
“They’re here;I can sense their presence.”
“They can’t escape now.Block off the entire mining area.”
The leading knight sneered.
He was well-built and instructed others to seal off the area,his expression one of a cat playing with a mouse.
His aura was significantly stronger than the others,with light blue eyes and scales covering his arms,clearly not human.
Whoosh!!!
Suddenly,in the darkness,a golden light flew towards him,dazzling like a small sun,accompanied by a terrifying sound,aiming to cut him down.
“A talisman treasure…”
“Hmph,just a petty trick.You’ve used up all your means on this journey.Surrender wisely,and you’ll suffer less.”
“Otherwise,I’ll cripple you both first,chop off your legs,and see how you run.”
The leading knight sneered disdainfully.
Next moment,his sky-blade flashed,green light gleaming,and he struck the golden light,splitting it in two and shattering it.
“Sister Yu,it’s bad.They’ve blocked off the back of the mine too,”Zhao Shao Yue said,paling,having exhausted her last talisman treasure.
She felt a sense of despair,with no way out.
Facing such terrifying cultivators,they were as helpless as mortals.
Wang Yu’s expression was equally grim,holding a round sword pill in her delicate hand.
She was confident she could kill the leading knight,but not the others.
Were they really going to die here today?
As she hesitated,a green light suddenly struck towards her,fast as lightning,giving no time to react.
Her pupils contracted,face turning pale;there was no time to dodge.
“Sister Yu…”Zhao Shao Yue cried out,her face white with fear.
But just then,the space in front seemed to freeze.
An eerie wave spread,and everything fell silent.
The wind stopped,and time seemed to stand still.
The green light aiming at them was caught by an invisible hand and crumbled to ashes in mid-air.
It was a shocking and terrifying sight.
The leading knight’s pupils shrank,his face contorting in horror.
Even his fierce beast trembled uncontrollably,its eyes filled with fear,and it collapsed,unable to withstand the terrifying pressure.
“Who…who are you?”
“Are you human or ghost?”
His voice was filled with unimaginable fear.Despite his cultivation,he hadn’t noticed the presence of the young man.
Especially near the Shenxu Ancient Mine,known for its terrifying legends,it made his scalp tingle.
The other knights behind him also showed fear and unease.
“Immortal brother…”Zhao Shao Yue’s eyes widened,unable to help exclaiming again.
Wang Yu was equally terrified,her forehead and back drenched in cold sweat,having narrowly escaped death.
Though skilled,she couldn’t have blocked that sudden strike.
“Thank you…Thank you,sir,”she said,her beautiful eyes blinking in shock,unsure how to address Jiang Minghan.
She didn’t even know whether Jiang Minghan was an immortal,ghost,or cultivator.
“Immortal brother?”Jiang Minghan chuckled softly at the title,shaking his head.
Then he looked at the frightened knight and said,”Do I look like a human or a ghost?”
“You…”
“Your methods are extraordinary.”
“But I must advise you not to meddle.These two girls are wanted by my Huan Yan Ancient Sect.It’s best not to bring trouble upon yourself.”
The leading knight stared at Jiang Minghan,taking a few steps back,trying to stay calm.
He realized his fear was unnecessary.The white-robed man was clearly a powerful cultivator.
But his shocking appearance had unnerved him,making him think he had encountered some ominous or demonic presence from the Shenxu Ancient Mine.
“Oh?Huan Yan Ancient Sect?Never heard of it.”
Jiang Minghan lightly shook his head,looking indifferent.
