The Greatest Disciple of the Evil Sect
Chapter 339- Cornered from all sides

Chapter 339: Chapter 339- Cornered from all sides

One of the disciples of the Glowing Palm Sect shouted arrogantly, seeing a man rushing over from the distance. However, instead of stopping, the man increased his speed further.

"Fool, you dare try to go against our sect. Brothers, stop that practitioner!"

The leader among the group shouted. Battle energy was roused and all sorts of battle skills was released.

"Out of my way... [Great Napalm Command]!!" Fire blazed and instantly consumed all the attacks before spreading out and blowing all the disciples away.

Yang Chen did not stop for a second and increased his speed even further.

In one area of the plaza...

"Hahaha... girl, stop resisting and give me that Rune Plate. Stop your futile struggle while I’m still being nice" A middle aged man wearing clean green robes, spoke. He had a refined look and carried an aura as heavy and pressuring as the boulder.

"Elder, do we need to speak to that person so nicely? Her comrade killed many of our Boulder Sect disciples" one of the practitioners behind him spoke out in discontent.

"Since she was able to snatch a Rune Plate from so many practitioners and major sect. She must possess some considerable strength. Besides, all the other major sects are also eyeing this key fiercely. Even if we lose some face here, it is always better to be cautious".

The green robed middle aged man spoke. He was the elder leading this batch of the Boulder Sect Disciples. At this moment, he was eyeing the girl trying to run away from their pursuit, like a cat playing with a mouse.

In the distance, Tang Xun’er made a sharp turn and dodged an incoming attack aimed at her vitals. It was not just one; numerous more attacks came aiming at her, intending to claim her life.

"You can’t run away by just dodging them. Besides, it looks like all paths have been blocked, there is no place to retreat" Yun spoke, his eyes a little grim.

"If it really comes to life and death, throw that Rune Plate away. Don’t worry about me and use my power, you will easily be able to escape this predicament if you do so".

The situation looked dire for them. It was not just the Boulder Sect that was hot in pursuit, the other major sects too wanted a share of the pie. Fortunately for them, their cover had yet to be blown. Perhaps, it was the only saving grace in this situation.

That said, no matter how you look at it, things seemed far from positive. Yun at least wanted Tang Xun’er to protect herself and give up the key if needed. However, even he didn’t expect the latter to become stubborn now out of all moments.

"No, I can’t do that. I only have this key because of Yang Chen. Giving up on it would be tantamount to throwing water on his efforts. No matter what, I won’t hand them the key".

"What?! Why? This is no time to be stubborn you know"...

Tang Xun’er opened her lips and muttered something "He called me his friend".

The demonic spirit opened his eyes wide, finally realising the reason for her stubbornness.

"He must have just said it on the passing. You don’t actually believe him, do you? You should know what those ’friends’ did to you..." Yun couldn’t find it in himself to continue his sentence and sighed.

Friend... A somewhat ordinary word for someone; however, for Tang Xun’er, whose identity was unique, the word was nothing but alien to her. Yang Chen might have spoken those words thoughtlessly, but it had a profound impact on the former.

!!!

"Stop!" Yun suddenly alerted, causing Tang Xun’er to come to a stop. His eyes swivelled around before she saw a couple of figures that were different from the group pursuing her, blocking her path.

"Where do you think you are running?"

A young man laughed. He carried a sword behind him and was fairly handsome. When Tang Xun’er looked at him, she immediately realised who it was. Lan Feng and the group from Xuan Sect were here too.

It was not only them, turning her head around, she saw members from the Glowing Palm sect and even the fellows from the Ocean Splitting Sect. It was then she realised that she had fallen for their trap.

The members from the Boulder Sect were intentionally driving her towards this place.

"The person you mentioned doesn’t seem to be with her?"

A person questioned. He was taller than Lan Feng and similarly wore white robes under the armor. He carried a long sword on his back and carried himself with a dignity rare for a younger generation member.

"Senior brother, I’m telling you those two were together until recently. They not only took the Rune Plates, but the other guy snatched the Soul Spiritual Tree" Lan Feng explained.

"Hmph, coming up with excuses to cover up your failures. Lan Feng, you should reflect on yourself," commented another person.

Unlike the two young people before him, he was a middle aged man with sharp eyes and brows. A sharp qi that seemed to be unsheathed continuously emanated from him with every breath he took.

"Martial Uncle"...

"Elder"...

The Xuan sect disciples cupped their hands. To command such respect from these arrogant geniuses, who else could the man be other than one of the elders of the Xuan sect?

"Martial uncle, please give me another chance. This time, I will make sure to carry out the mission without fail" Sweating inwardly, Lan Feng pleaded for another chance.

The elder thought for a while before nodding his head. "Alright, since you were the one to foil our reputation, you will be the one to mend it. Now go".

"Thank you, Martial Uncle" Cupping his hands, Lan Feng left leading a couple of Xuan Sect disciples to capture the girl.

"Be careful, that person’s sword qi has reached a level where it can even hurt a late stage battle Grandmaster" Yun hurriedly warned Tang Xun’er, who was busy fending off the disciples of the boulder sect.
