Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 775 - 775 761 Everyone Has Their Own Plan

Chapter 775: Chapter 761: Everyone Has Their Own Plan Chapter 775: Chapter 761: Everyone Has Their Own Plan The Xuan Clan had been severely wounded and surrounded by followers of the Demon God, but luckily, they had not been completely decimated. Xuan Wu had just received information that Xuan Si was safe, and the abducted female disciples had been freed and were possibly with the people of the New City Sect now.

Xuan Wu felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this.

Guo Mingyu’s group was still ahead of the Dragon Slaying Clan, who, despite being previously ambushed by monsters, seemed to have recovered and quickly closing the gap.

Tonight, Guo Mingyu planned to discuss their next steps with the group: to fight a bloody battle or to come up with another strategy. Their encounter with the Demon God’s followers had caused some delays.

Even though the Dragon Slaying Clan was still behind them, they were gradually making up ground, and there was no guarantee that they would not suddenly strike. The group had entered the third circle and found the Clan right behind them, hence they had to stay alert.

Guo Mingyu, Guan Yi, Song Zheng’an, Xuan Wu of the Xuan Clan, along with a few junior leaders, were present.

Song Zheng’an said, “We can’t shake them off like this. I think we should attack, engage in battle with them. After their encounter with the monsters, they are not as strong as before. If we band together, we should be able to give them a tough fight. It’s called ‘strike first to gain the upper hand.'”

Xuan Wu found some sense in his words, saying, “Yes, I also think so. We can’t get rid of them right now. Leaving them behind is a ticking time bomb that will pounce on us anytime. If we can strike first, it might be much better. If we can successfully defeat or shake them off in the third circle, we would have solved a major problem. When competing for the Wolf King’s Ring, we would have one less opponent.”

Guo Mingyu had also thought about this.

Guan Yi also said, “That’s the fact; they’re always trailing us, just waiting to make their move. If we encounter a challenge, they’ll surely take action, and we would be at a disadvantage.”

Xuan Wu nodded, saying, “Yes, they are smart and are likely plotting something.”

Song Zheng’an agreed, “Exactly, if we strike first, we can use our advantage. If we can truly defeat or scatter them, we won’t face any more threats from behind.”

Xuan Wu added, “Yes, we constantly feel uneasy with them at our backs, as if they’re waiting to stab us. So, why not take the opportunity to get rid of them now? We’ll have to face them sooner or later anyway.”

Guo Mingyu looked at them and asked, “Does everyone agree with this?”

They glanced at each other.

Guan Yi said, “It seems like we all think this way. We aren’t afraid of them right now. But in the fourth circle, things will certainly become more complicated, and they won’t be so easy to deal with.”

Guo Mingyu responded, “Sure, but we must find an optimal moment to strike.”

Guan Yi and the others nodded in agreement.

Upon reaching the third circle, also known as the Mixed Breed Circle, the creatures here were much more formidable. Guo Mingyu added, “Although the third circle has fewer monsters, it is the Mixed Breed Circle, which is more dangerous. The Human-beast Clan is even more brutal and powerful than the Demon God.”

Xuan Wu’s group had not encountered any followers of the Demon God since. They heard that a serious fight had broken out between the Demon God’s followers and the New City Sect, which involved mutual abductions. This engagement had forced the Demon God’s followers to shift their attention away from Xuan Wu’s group.

Guan Yi said, “Yeah, the dangers haven’t lessened but increased. We could easily be trapped here if we’re not careful.”

“Alright, everyone should rest now. We’ll take stock of our surroundings and discuss more tomorrow.”

Everything was quiet.

Longhun and the Dragon Slaying Clan had barely escaped a monster attack. After several days, they managed to catch up with the group from the New City Sect as the latter was hindered by the Demon God’s followers.

However, Longhun was cautious. As they lost several days while being blocked by an obstacle in the first circle, luckily everything went smoothly, or else they might still be lagging behind.

He was always thinking about dealing with the group from New City. He didn’t want to wait until the fourth circle to confront them due to the shortage of time.

Jing Po ran up, announcing, “We’re just six hours behind them.” They had caught up.

Longhun nodded.

Slaughter Saint suggested, “We should find a shortcut.”

Longhun instead asked, “What do you think Guo Mingyu and his group are thinking right now?”

Jing Po replied, “Of course, they’re trying to shake us off.”

Longhun shook his head and said, “If I were him, I would find a way to stab us in the back.”

Jing Po paused, looking back, “Why?”

Longhun laughed, “Isn’t it obvious? They are blocking our path while fearing we might overtake and stab them from behind. They won’t let us easily enter the fourth circle with them, will they?”

Jing Po agreed, “So, Young Master, are you saying they will go after us?”

“Definitely. If I were in their shoes, I wouldn’t want to be constantly followed by a looming shadow. It feels terrible knowing that a stab might come from behind at any moment.”

Jing Po considered it and said, “So, they might indeed be planning to strike us?”

Longhun thought for a moment, “If I were them, with so many men, I would find a suitable position, turn around, and strike. Even if the attack is unsuccessful, if it does succeed, it will be a direct way to shake off our pursuit.”

“We need to be careful then,” Jing Po responded.

“Yes, we need to plan properly; otherwise, we won’t succeed,” Longhun added.

Slaughter Saint agreed with Young Master’s analysis and couldn’t help but worry, “If it’s like this, they are really going to attack us, they will certainly choose an advantageous location.”

Longhun nodded in agreement.

Slaughter Saint continued, “I’ll send someone to scout the area ahead to understand the terrain.”

“Alright, let our people rest diligently. We can’t afford to encounter another man-eating monster. I don’t want any more trouble.”

Night fell quickly.

Shi Xueqin approached.

Concerned, Longhun asked, “Haven’t you gone to sleep yet?”

“I can’t sleep,” Shi Xueqin said.

“Ha-ha, what’s there to lose sleep over?”

“Let’s chat.”

They were in a forest.

“Chat, what would you like to talk about?” Dragon Soul asked with a smile.

“Talk about your past.”

Dragon Soul looked at her, he rarely spoke about his past with others, “What’s so good about past stories?”

“I know you’re not keen on bringing up the past, but I still want to know.”

“Nothing but mishaps, nothing worth knowing.” He really didn’t want to recount the past.

“Could you tell me about that girl with the surname Xiao?” Shi Xueqin was still curious. She’d heard some things but didn’t know if they were true or not. People said that Dragon Soul had wanted to treat the girl well but she didn’t know why in the end he’d killed her.

“Hey, can’t you spare your Brother Longhun some pity? Why must you dredge up this matter?”

“Oh, just spit it out, you might feel better.”

“Your Brother Longhun has never believed in this. Spilling my guts won’t help me relax, I just don’t want to recall the past.”

“At first, you were so fond of her, why did you end up killing her?”

“You really want to know?”

“Of course, I want to know. I need to be careful, wondering if you’ll end up killing me too, I want to know the reason.”

“There’s a good chance of that,” Dragon Soul said.

“What on earth happened? I really can’t believe this is true.”

“Yes, it’s true, she taught me how to kill.” Dragon Soul still remembered—it was because of this Xiao girl that he’d killed for the first time.

“She taught you how to kill?”

“Yes.”

“What kind of person was she?”

“An incredibly beautiful woman who treated killing as a game.”

“Why did you kill her then?”

“She was messing around with other guys.” Dragon Soul had tried his best to win her over, learned how to kill as per her request, done everything to make her happy, but all he received in return was laughter and betrayal.

“So, from that point on, you stopped trusting people.”

“Perhaps!” Dragon Soul lay sideways, seemingly reminiscing about the past.

“If I mess around with others, will you kill me too?”

“Perhaps,” Dragon Soul said softly.

“Alright, let’s not talk about these things that upset you. Let’s talk about Meng Xiuluo, how did you two meet?”

“We?”

“Yeah, Meng Xiuluo has been utterly devoted to you, for so many years. Why haven’t you two gotten together?”

“Has she been utterly devoted to me?”

“Everyone who knows her, knows that. She is the one who understands you the most, treats you the best, and would die for you.”

“Maybe, but we don’t feel like we are ‘together’. Perhaps because we both know each other’s past too well, there are no secrets, and no mystery.” Dragon Soul thought so too. Meng Xiuluo was the person who knew him best, especially on that unforgettable Slaughter Island. It was there that you would know the brutality of people and their potential.

“Have a drink!” Shi Xueqin passed him the water bottle.

“I’m not thirsty.”

“Did you really take the Wolf King’s Ring to avenge your father and our Dragon Slaying Clan?”

“Impossible.”

“Then what will you do if you get the Wolf King’s Ring?”

“Take the most beautiful women to Dragon Slayer Island, let them bear children.”

“Hey, Brother Longhun, you aren’t that vulgar.”

“That’s exactly who I am.”

“I heard that after becoming the Wolf King, one loses control every full moon, going on a indiscriminate killing spree. Only the appearance of one’s most beloved woman can quench the Wolf King’s rage.”

“I don’t know.”

“Then at that time, you might even kill me.”

“That’s why I told you to stay far away from me!”
