Chapter 595: Chapter 588: Annihilation

Among the people from Medicine King Valley, Valley Master Ren Tianxing and Tu Ji were the strongest.

The group, filled with confidence, had tracked the Heavenly Maiden to this location, preparing to surround and annihilate her here.

But at this moment, they discovered that the Heavenly Maiden’s strength was astonishingly beyond their expectations, and furthermore, she wasn’t alone. She had Chen Hai, an equally fierce powerhouse, by her side. Given this, Ren Tianxing had already abandoned any hope of slaying the two of them here.

While angrily shouting, he realized it was futile and made a hasty retreat.

As for the Second Elder, Tu Ji, his reaction speed was only a tad slower than Ren Tianxing’s.

Although the deaths of Ding Meng and the other True Immortal seemed slow in the telling, in reality, they occurred in the blink of an eye.

“Ding Meng, Kang Bao…”

Seeing this scene, Ren Tianxing’s eyes turned bloodshot, and he bellowed in rage.

The Kang Bao he mentioned must have been the name of the other True Immortal.

This time, the five of them had joined forces to come here, to Miaozhen Cave Mansion, in a bold attempt to narrow the gap with the Heavenly Extreme Holy Sect in terms of high-end combat power.

Now, Medicine King Valley had only one True Immortal left, aside from Ye Fangxian who had defected to another Territory. The remaining True Immortal was still stationed at the sect gates.

After entering Miaozhen Cave Mansion, and without even getting a glimpse of Wu Renxin and Fan Tong from the Heavenly Extreme Holy Sect, the five from Medicine King Valley had already suffered the loss of three.

Such a cruel reality brought Ren Tianxing to the heights of grief and rage.

His bloodshot eyes seemed almost to bleed as he stared intently at Chen Hai and the Heavenly Maiden, not far away.

If looks could kill, at this moment, Ren Tianxing would have certainly torn them to pieces countless times over.

“Is this the heavens wanting to destroy our Medicine King Valley…”

“No, as long as Qingshan remains, we won’t worry about running out of firewood. We’ve already lost enough people. Tu Ji and I absolutely cannot die here; otherwise, Medicine King Valley will truly be finished!”

“Run! Escape as far as possible, keep those two demons far behind.”

“As long as we can survive and escape from Miaozhen Cave Mansion, once we get back within the sect gates, perhaps our Medicine King Valley will still have a sliver of hope for survival!”

…

Endless rage had not completely obliterated Ren Tianxing’s reason.

After realizing all these things, he withdrew the hateful glare from Chen Hai and the Heavenly Maiden and turned to flee desperately.

Compared to him, the Second Elder, Tu Ji’s flight was even swifter.

Ding Meng and the True Immortal named Kang Bao had died, Ren Tianxing had hesitated for a moment, but Tu Ji behaved as if he had seen nor heard nothing, running away at an even greater speed than before.

Because of Ren Tianxing’s slight hesitation, Tu Ji had already escaped a good distance away.

Unfortunately for him, rapid as his flight was, the Heavenly Maiden was definitely even faster.

Chen Hai hadn’t initially harbored any killing intent towards Valley Master Ren Tianxing and his party from Medicine King Valley; he hadn’t even thought to raise his hand against them.

Sadly, Ren Tianxing and his people were somewhat too insensitive, and the actions they resorted to were also a bit too despicable.

Taking advantage of the moment Chen Hai and the Heavenly Maiden were deeply connected, exerting full effort to expel poison, they crept close and suddenly launched a lethal attack…

Such deeds would not just upset Chen Hai but would be intolerable to any man.

In his furious rage, Chen Hai couldn’t care less; his first priority was to kill.

Compared to him, the Heavenly Maiden had entered Miaozhen Cave Mansion with the direct intent of slaughtering the people from Medicine King Valley, to repay a favor owed to Zhu Yuxin, the leader of the Heavenly Extreme Holy Sect.

After killing the True Immortal Kang Bao and with Tu Ji having already fled a considerable distance, her attention immediately shifted towards the fleeing elder.

With her terrifying speed, in just a split second, she had closed the distance between her and Tu Ji to within a hundred meters.

“By the looks of it, there’s no way Tu Ji can escape from her clutches.”

“Perhaps, in just a few blinks of an eye, he would be caught up by the Heavenly Maiden and a battle would ensue.”

Valley Master Ren chose to flee in the direct opposite direction of Tu Ji.

“Valley Master Ren, please halt!” After having killed Ding Meng, the towering rage within Chen Hai had, to some extent, subsided.

Seeing the scene of Valley Master Ren fleeing for his life, he hesitated for a moment, and let out a light sigh.

Ultimately, he made the decision to make his move and retain Valley Master Ren in this place.

After all, though he was innately kind-hearted, upright, and benevolent, refraining to act was one thing; having already taken action and killed Ding Meng, it was only natural for him to completely eradicate the root of the problem.

What’s more, Valley Master Ren, as the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, was indeed the Heavenly Maiden’s primary assassination target.

Given Chen Hai’s relationship with the Heavenly Maiden, intercepting Valley Master Ren was also akin to lending the Heavenly Maiden a hand.

Using Nether Shadow Step’s extreme speed, although he was a level below the Heavenly Maiden, compared to Valley Master Ren, he was still somewhat stronger.

There wasn’t much distance between him and Valley Master Ren, and now as his voice trailed off, his figure flickered a few times, and he stood with his hands behind his back, appearing in front of Valley Master Ren and blocking his way.

“Demon, meet your death…”

The scene of Ding Meng dying at Chen Hai’s hands had unfolded right before Valley Master Ren’s eyes, and he had seen it all too clearly.

He was already filled with immense hatred towards Chen Hai and wished nothing more than to tear him to pieces.

Seeing Chen Hai blocking his way, he roared furiously, completely throwing caution to the wind!

The giant hammer in his hand crashed down like thunderous avalanches; with every swing, the invisible shockwaves that were visible to the naked eye piled up on top of each other, sweeping toward Chen Hai’s position.

“Valley Master Ren, I merely wanted you to stop so we could reason together.”

“No further words, you choose to fight for your life against me, is that necessary?”

Serene and indifferent, Chen Hai still kept his hands behind his back.

Valley Master Ren’s hammer generated waves akin to stormy seas, but Chen Hai walked amidst the tempest; no matter how fierce the storm, it could not harm him in the slightest.

“You’re heartless and brutal, a natural-born killer. As soon as you make a move, without saying a word, you kill our Medicine King Valley’s Third Elder, Ding Meng. With a devil like you, what reason is there to speak…”

Valley Master Ren bellowed in anger, having completely abandoned defense, hammering down with every bit of his strength.

“I and the Heavenly Maiden are passionate and in perfect harmony. I finally found a secluded spot, preparing to indulge in intimacy.”

“You lot from Medicine King Valley approached silently nearby. If it was merely to eavesdrop, that would be one thing, but you chose the moment of my utmost vulnerability to suddenly strike at me.”

“Do you think you have any grounds to justify yourselves? The only reason I killed was simply because you deserved to die!”

Chen Hai curled his lips and chuckled.

His words left Valley Master Ren with little to say in return.

“Demon is a demon, no matter your reasons, killing people from Medicine King Valley is wrong!”

Unable to prevail in argument, Valley Master Ren simply abandoned all reason.

He continued to roar angrily, while his hammer danced wildly in the air, filling the sky with hammer shadows and invisible shockwaves. The terrifying might shocks one to the core.

Anyone of insufficient strength caught by the aftershocks of his attack would have no other fate but death.

“Originally, I thought if you’d be willing to offer a hundred and eighty bottles of pills, I could look the other way and let you go.”

“You didn’t want the opportunity, so if you’re so bent on seeking death, very well, I shall oblige!”

With a sigh, Chen Hai’s figure swayed and twisted, appearing right in front of Valley Master Ren. Then, with a palm strike, he hit Valley Master Ren’s chest.
