Dominating Martial King
Chapter 122 - 122 119 Sudden Change

122: Chapter 119 Sudden Change 122: Chapter 119 Sudden Change As soon as Zhou Liangchen spoke, the intent to kill targeting Chu Xisheng and his group decreased by more than half.

The atmosphere among the crowd became strange.

They began to look around, their expressions inscrutable, their eyes glittering.

The terms offered by Zhou Liangchen were sincere enough to stir people’s hearts.

Following Lu Chen and the others to kill the Zhou Family might not yield any benefits for them.

But joining the Zhoou Family to eliminate Lu Chen and his group could indeed secure them half of the Spiritual Medicine produce and a quota for cultivation from the Secret Realm.

The combat power of Chu Xisheng had also been witnessed by everyone.

None among the four Qingyun’s geniuses and Si Huangquan could withstand the edge of Chu Xisheng’s might.

With several families heart-divided and at odds, they could hardly cooperate.

At this moment, only needing a hundred or so people to stand over, Chu Xisheng and the Zhoou Family were sure to dominate everyone, the risk being minimal indeed.

“Damn!”

Lu Chen felt as if needles were pricking his back.

At this moment, there were about a dozen gazes unintentionally looking at his back from within the crowd behind him.

He turned his head with a look of helplessness, “Are you all crazy?

You just believe whatever Zhou Liangchen says?

And you even think about stabbing me in the back?”

They had previously agreed that any one of their four families who won would share the Secret Realm with everyone.

Yet, Zhou Liangchen’s single statement had made these fools waver.

Unable to hide his irritated gaze, Lu Chen swept his eyes all around him.

Wherever his gaze landed, everyone acted unnaturally calm, but they were all thinking that this young master of the Zhou Family was always honest and influential within his family, much more reliable than this Smiling Tiger.

What he said was almost equivalent to a promise from the Zhoou Family.

Moreover, the Ninth Grade Martial Cultivators present belonged to over sixty different forces.

Sharing among only fourteen families rather than the sixty wouldn’t that be more advantageous?

Moreover, the promise of the four Qingyun’s geniuses couldn’t necessarily be trusted, especially not that of this Smiling Tiger.

Si Huangquan waited for a moment, his expression growing impatient, “Are we fighting or not?”

“Why don’t you go first?” White Eyebrow Tiger Ying Haobai looked sideways at him, “I’ll follow up.”

Si Huangquan just sneered nonstop, standing still without moving.

If he were to be injured by Chu Xisheng, he certainly wouldn’t be able to leave this Secret Realm today.

While Si Huangquan was interested in challenging Chu Xisheng, he didn’t plan to risk his life in the process.

These people from the Eastern State were all extremely cunning, no one trustworthy among them.

It was when everyone stood facing each other, locked in a stalemate, that Zhuo Baiyun suddenly heard a faint ‘dong dong’ sound nearby, his expression slightly changing as he looked in the direction of the noise.

It was five blood-colored crystal beads the size of fingertips, tossed by someone unknown.

They rolled past his side on the ground, round and round, moving forward.

Zhuo Baiyun initially thought they were some kind of Hidden Weapon and instinctively drew his sword to defend himself.

Suddenly, he smelled a faint blood scent.

Zhuo Baiyun’s pupils contracted, remembering something.

—Those were from the plaza of the second stage, the five bodies that had been drained of blood energy and spiritual quality!

He had closely sensed the condition of those five bodies before, thus recognizing them at first glance now.

These five blood beads were clearly the condensation of the blood energy and spiritual quality of those people.

Besides, there was something else mixed within them, the stench was overpowering.

Just as Zhuo Baiyun’s thoughts were racing, the five blood beads suddenly exploded, blasting a sky full of blood mist, scattering in all directions.

“Be careful!”

Zhuo Baiyun immediately held his breath and, like a crane piercing through the air, soared backward in a great effort to dodge.

However, the spread of the blood mist was extremely rapid.

In an instant, it engulfed him, and continued to spread in all directions, covering the entire Han white jade Square and enshrouding everyone within the blood mist.

Chu Xisheng was also slightly startled.

While holding his breath, he took out a Detoxification Pill from his pack and placed it in his mouth.

At the same time, he held a sword in his hand, on guard in all directions.

“It’s Zhuo Baiyun!

Those beads seemed to have fallen from his sleeve; what mysterious thing is he up to?”

Zhoou Liangchen tried desperately to observe his surroundings, but unfortunately, the thick blood mist only allowed him to see up to a distance of ten feet.

The people behind him from the Zhoou Family could see even less.

Though they instinctively formed a formation, standing back-to-back, their looks were blank.

Beyond a distance of ten feet, they couldn’t see anything clearly.

Zhoou Liangchen, covering his mouth and nose with one hand, spoke in a muffled voice, “I don’t even know if there’s poison in this mist, Brother Chu, what should we do now?”

Chu Xisheng continued scanning in all directions, his brows deeply furrowed, “We retreat backwards, to the southeast corner.

You cover our rear.”

To be cautious, he took out a ‘Divine Speed Talisman’ and a ‘Wind and Thunder Talisman’ from his pack and crushed them.

This Jade Talisman could last an hour, greatly increasing his speed and allowing him to manipulate more of the Wind and Thunder Power.

As they formed a formation and carefully retreated to the corner, Chu Xisheng’s expression shifted slightly—he heard a series of weapon clashes and dire shrieks and roars within the mist.

“Wei Xiang?

Have you gone mad?

Why suddenly start fighting?”

“How dare you kill my men?”

“Lu Chen, you son of a ****, I’ll fight you!”

“Very well, we agreed to work together and eliminate the Zhoou Family and Chu Xisheng first, but you broke your promise and stabbed me in the back!”

“Li Manshan, I didn’t expect you to be such a treacherous scoundrel too.”

Chu Xisheng immediately exchanged a surprised look with Zhoou Liangchen.

The group opposite them had started to fight?

It seemed very fierce, with ruthless attacks.

And the scene was extremely chaotic, divided into dozens of factions, battling each other wildly.

The Han white jade Square was not large, and they quickly retreated to the corner.

With their backs against the chains, they only needed to deal with enemies coming from the front.

Chu Xisheng then had everyone tear off a piece of cotton fabric, soaked it with water from their water bags, and covered their faces with it.

He did not know if it would work, but after covering his mouth and nose with the soaked cotton, the stench Chu Xisheng smelled became much fainter.

Chu Xisheng then stood in front of everyone with his sword drawn, concentrating as he looked into the depths of the blood mist in front.

In that time, the chaotic battle deep within the mist had expanded.

A group of bloody combatants, chasing each other, had now reached them.

Chu Xisheng’s eyesight, much stronger than Zhoou Liangchen’s, could see up to a distance of fifty feet.

He looked suspicious as he saw that the faces of these people had an abnormal flush, their eyes surrounded by bulging veins, and both their expressions and voices seemed insane.

“Strange!” Zhoou Liangchen said, baffled, “Why have these people turned into something like rabid dogs?”

“It must be this blood mist.

It can make people lose their reason and become bloodthirsty and belligerent.”

As Chu Xisheng spoke, suddenly two figures rushed out from the depths of the blood mist.

They were fighting each other, having chased each other here, but when they saw Chu Xisheng and his group, their eyes bulged out and they lunged at them.

Chu Xisheng did not hesitate, sword in hand, he beheaded both men.

He now had the Third-tier ‘Chasing Wind and Lightning Hand’, and merely the speed of his Draw Sword Style was just slightly behind Qin Muge’s 10-year-old character card.

After killing these two men, Chu Xisheng frowned as he looked at their bodies, “Their minds seem really abnormal.”

Chu Xisheng was incredibly relieved that they were far from the Blood Bead, had some time to prepare, and did not inhale much of the blood mist.

Otherwise, he would also have turned into a rabid dog like these people.
