Chapter 56: Counter Kill

  "Ah", Xiao Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale, stumbling and leaning against a tree to sit down, muttering to himself "That guy is indeed a Condensed Spirit Realm expert, although I weakened that palm by a lot, it still heavily injured me. I'll first find a place to treat my injuries, then go settle the score with those bastards."

  Yang Jian, as a strong Condensing Spirit Realm cultivator in the later stages, unleashed a powerful palm strike that was not to be underestimated. With just one palm, he severely injured Xiao Fan. If Xiao Fan's physical body wasn't exceptionally robust, he would have been killed by now.

  "As for the remaining Blood Guards, as long as no one has reached the state of Concentrated Spirit, I have a way to deal with them." For Xiao Fan at this time, even if his opponent had a cultivation base of Tuo Fan's 9th rank, Xiao Fan could still handle it. Therefore, as long as there were no experts in the realm of Concentrated Spirit among those who were pursuing and killing him, he was not afraid.

  At this time, Xiao Fan found a hollow ancient tree, looked around the environment, and then entered the inside of the ancient tree with all his might. He started to operate the "Introspection Technique" with full force, completely gathering his spirit and energy, and then closed his eyes to repair his injuries through internal cultivation.

  At the time when Xiao Fan was hiding inside the ancient tree to repair his injuries, the Blood Guards in the forest still did not know that their leader had died and were still searching for Xiao Fan's trail with great diligence.

  Even several batches of people passed by the ancient tree where Xiao Fan was hiding, but no one discovered that Xiao Fan was hiding inside.

  Thus, three days passed.

  Three days later, Xiao Fan opened his eyes inside the ancient tree, and a brilliant divine light flashed in his eyes.

  "Now that I've recovered from my injuries, the hunt begins."

  "Boom..." It was as if the sky and earth were cracking, Xiao Fang's entire body burst out of the ancient tree, and then he leaped about on the tree like a nimble monkey.

  ……………

  Night, dive into water.

  In the dense forest, a bonfire was burning slowly, and three Blood Guards sat cross-legged beside it, occasionally throwing wood into the fire, making crackling sounds.

  Among the three Blood Guards, one had a cultivation of Beyond Ordinary Fifth Grade, and two had a cultivation of Beyond Ordinary Third Grade.

  At this moment, the three of them were eating barbecue with their left hands, while their right hands tightly grasped the swords in their hands.

  As they ate the fragrant roasted meat, there was no look of enjoyment on their faces. Instead, they were as calm as water, observing all directions with their eyes and listening to all sides with their ears, always keeping a vigilant heart.

  This is a well-trained Blood Guard, always on high alert no matter where or when.

  "Heh heh..."

  At this moment, three flashes of knife light flashed from the dense forest, as if piercing through the void, and the flying knives arrived in an instant.

  Three Blood Guards raised their long swords in the first moment, but their speed was ultimately too slow. Their long swords had not yet been lifted when the flying knives had already pierced their foreheads.

  In the pitch-black dense forest, Xiao Fan wore white clothes as if he had won over snow, and walked to the side of three Blood Guards' corpses.

  "Hmph..." Without seeing Xiao Fan make any movement, the three flying knives that had shot into Blood Guard's forehead automatically flew out and returned to Xiao Fan's hand.

  Three-handle flying knife killed three blood guards who had escaped from the ordinary realm, but it didn't get stained with a single drop of blood.

  After casually putting away the flying knife, Xiao Fan squatted down to search the three Blood Guards' bodies and found three signal rockets on them. Then, he also found three storage bags at their waists.

  "Hmm, I didn't expect them to be carrying storage bags on their bodies, wonder if there's anything good inside."

  Xiao Fan opened the three storage bags one by one, and found that each bag had almost the same things: some low-grade spirit stones, some gold coins, some spare clothes, and some dry rations. There was nothing else.

  "What a poor devil." Xiao Fan cursed silently, the three Blood Guards had less than twenty low-grade spirit stones on them, and they also had fewer than one million gold coins.

  Dump out the spare clothes and dry rations from the storage bag, then consolidate the spirit stones and gold coins into your own storage bag. Then toss both storage bags into your own storage bag.

  After categorizing and preparing everything, one foot kicked out the fire, then a flash of movement continued to hide into the darkness.

  "Within three miles around, there were two more Blood Guards."

  In the darkness, a soft whispering voice came from Xiao Fan; his faintly gray light flashed, treating the black night as daylight, and moved towards the direction of the other two Blood Guards.

  Xiao Fan gathered his breath, and the lightness skill 'Treading Snow Without a Trace' was displayed. The whole person seemed like a ghost in the dense forest, flashing by, but no one could discover him.

  Soon after, Xiao Fan arrived beside the two Blood Guards in his spiritual force perception.

  At this moment, the two blood guards were also sitting by the fire, they were closing their eyes to rest, Xiao Fan knew that they must be on high alert for the surrounding situation.

  "Hmm, this guy is actually interesting."

  Xiao Fan found that the younger Blood Guard on the right was holding a long knife in one hand and a signal rocket in the other, while the other Blood Guard only held a long sword.

  "This guy is also a personal talent, well-prepared, if he can't be knocked down in the first time, he can launch a rocket signal to summon his companions. Unfortunately, he didn't think that my flying knife is unparalleled in the world, and almost no one can resist it in the extraordinary realm." Xiao Fan

  Xiao Fan's 'Six Spirits Divine Knife' was so fast that in the Mortal Realm, except for a few people with extremely powerful light body techniques, almost no one could withstand it. This was only referring to a direct attack, if it were an ambush, Xiao Fan had confidence that no one in the Mortal Realm could escape his flying knife.

  "Whoosh..."

  Two flying knives pierced through the air, arriving in an instant. Just as the two Blood Guards sensed it, the two flying knives had already shot into their foreheads.

  "bump..."

  The two of them widened their eyes and fell down unwillingly. In their last consciousness, they vaguely saw a white-clad figure walking towards them with a steady pace.

  With the previous example of killing three Blood Guards, Xiao Fan was already familiar with the process. He took out his flying knife and then removed the storage bags from two of the Blood Guards' bodies. He sorted the contents into different categories and put them into his own storage bag before extinguishing the flames and leaving.

  This string of actions was done by Xiao Fan with increasing proficiency, as if he were a natural-born killer and thief.

  "The night is so wonderful."

  After collecting the spoils, Xiao Fan wore a white robe and continued walking in the dense forest, searching for his next target.

  One night passed, Xiao Fan found two groups of Blood Guards and killed them, then left calmly.

  As the sky dawned, Xiao Fang sighed softly; "The night passed too quickly, and it's a pity that we can't annihilate the enemy completely."

  However, what's there to fear during the day?" Xiao Fan shot out two cold glints from his eyes. As long as there were no masters in the Blood Guard who had reached the state of concentrated spirit, even if he encountered them head-on, Xiao Fan would not need to be afraid.

  Perhaps among these blood guards there were innocent people, but since they came to kill Xiao Fan on orders, they are no longer innocent.

  Xiao Fan, after receiving the inheritance of the Chaotic Holy Body, killed billions in the Blood-colored Space. Although it was just a training space, through those battles, Xiao Fan was no longer the person who would fear and vomit at the thought of killing. When facing someone he should kill, Xiao Fan would not hesitate to take action.

  Five Blood Guards walked together, the one in the middle being their squad leader, who had reached the realm of transcending the ordinary at the 9th rank. As they walked through the dense forest, a younger Blood Guard spoke up to the squad leader: "Squad Leader, yesterday evening the Grand Marshal didn't return, could something have happened?"

  "Shut up." The captain barked, his eyes fixed tightly on the young Blood Guard, his voice cold. "The Great Leader's cultivation is profound, how could anything happen to him? If I hear you speak like this again, you will be dealt with by military law."

  "Yes." The young Blood Guard member looked terrified and didn't dare speak again.

  "Captain, this jungle is so vast. If we keep searching for that bastard and can't find him, what are we going to do? Are we supposed to keep searching forever?" Another Blood Guard member spoke up at this time.

  "Don't worry, our team of Blood Guards has ninety-eight people, as long as we have patience, we will definitely find him." The captain said.

  "Yes."

  "Ninety-eight people, haha, none of them can escape." Behind him, Xiao Fan's face revealed a cold smile as he hid behind the tree.

  "Heh heh..."

  Five flying knives, without distinction of precedence or sequence, carrying an aura of death, pierced through the void and shot towards the five Blood Guards.

  "Be careful." As the Blood Guard Captain, being in the 9th rank of the Extraordinary realm, he had a stronger sense of danger. Before Xiao Fan even made a move, he had already sensed a hint of danger and instinctively dodged quickly, although he ended up with a mouthful of mud. The other four Blood Guard members, who were not as highly cultivated, were not so lucky and all became Xiao Fan's victims under his blade.

  "It's you!" The Blood Guard Captain, who had narrowly escaped with his life, stood up and looked at Xiao Fan in white clothes, his face showing a shocked expression.

  "It's me." Xiao Fan's face was calm as water.

  "Looking for death!" The Blood Guard captain suddenly roared and rushed towards Xiao Fan like a giant peng, killing him.

  "Looking for death is you." Xiao Fang coldly smiled, raised his hand and a flying knife shot out.

  "It's just a single flying dagger, you couldn't even succeed in your sneak attack earlier, let alone now that I'm on guard... How is this possible..."

  The Blood Guard Captain's cold laughter had not yet fallen when he felt a chill at the back of his head, and a flying knife had already pierced through his brain from behind. At the same time, another flying knife also pierced through his neck, and the flying knife shot by Xiao Fan also shot into his forehead.

  "...Bump..." A master of the ninth grade, unwilling to fall down.

  "Nothing is impossible." Xiao Fan's expression was calm and peaceful, his mind stirred, and all the flying knives returned to his hands.

  The Blood Guard Captain of the Ninth Rank, whose cultivation was eight levels higher than Xiao Fan's, was beheaded by Xiao Fan's flying knife. It has to be said that the 'Six Spirits Imperial Knife' is terrifying, and every time it is used, it never misses its mark.

  "There are still eighty-eight." After looting the five Blood Guards' storage pouches, Xiao Fan's figure fluttered like snow and re-entered the forest.
