Chapter 77: Thus It Was Abandoned

  "It seems I've found the right person. If I hadn't found you, would you have resolved this battle at the fastest speed?" Su Ming asked, looking at Xiao Ling.

  Xiao Ling coolly nodded her head.

  Su Ming let out a sigh: "Trust me this once, I guarantee there will be no deaths or severe injuries."

  "You want to take out the entire Vanheart squad, render them unable to fight, and then bypass them to complete the mission." Xiao Ling furrowed his brow, clearly not in support of Su Ming's decision.

  "I just don't want to be used by the people of Xicheng Prefecture, I don't want to slaughter innocent people indiscriminately." Su Ming showed a hint of helplessness.

  Xiao Ling lowered her head and thought for a moment: "As long as there are no serious injuries or deaths in the Xiantian realm team, I won't take drastic measures. If there are, don't blame me for being ruthless."

  "Thank you." Su Ming saw Xiao Ling nod in agreement and felt a sense of relief.

  "Is there anything else?" Xiao Ling's tone turned somewhat cold.

  "Can I have a word with Mu Tian?" Su Ming asked tentatively.

  Xiao Ling nodded and immediately turned to leave, leaving Su Ming standing alone in a daze. He thought it would be difficult to persuade Xiao Ling, but unexpectedly she agreed so easily, which was really beyond his expectation.

  Everything was ready, Su Ming led the Pre-Heavenly Boundary squad towards the Starlight Lynx's territory.

  After several hours, Su Ming suddenly stopped everyone and then he, Xiao Ling, Mu Tian, and Su Wei walked forward. At this time, everyone understood that the dense forest in front was where the Fang Xinjing squad was ambushing.

  After four people entered the forest and waited for about a moment, they originally thought that ordinary martial artists would attack them, but there was no movement at all.

  Just as they suspected whether the Mortal Heart Realm team was there, Su Ming suddenly disappeared from his original position. When he reappeared, he had an extra Mortal Heart Realm warrior in his hand. The three of them looked at each other and saw that it was indeed a member of the Mortal Heart Realm team.

  "This group of bastards really wants to bully us." Mu Tian stared at the Mortal Heart Realm warriors with a fierce gaze, saying viciously that if it weren't for Xiao Ling not allowing him to kill these Mortal Heart Realm warriors, he would have probably made a move against Su Ming's Mortal Heart Realm warrior by now.

  "Now you should believe me, I hope you can listen to me once, don't kill or hurt them, just knock them out." Su Ming said with a hint of pleading in his tone.

  "I'll keep my promise." Xiao Ling stared intently ahead and said in a cold voice, "Where is their main force?"

  "About five hundred meters ahead, there are three directions in total, with more than twenty people in each direction." Su Ming told the words that the little elf had just told him to Hua.

  "Let's go." Xiao Ling said coldly, glancing at Mu Tian: "Let the other team members follow, but don't get too close."

  After Mu Tian turned and left, Su Ming and the other two walked towards the depths of the forest. They had only gone a little over 200 meters when Su Ming once again caught another Mortal Shedding cultivator. He didn't use his full strength, merely stunning them.

  When the three of them appeared in the encirclement, Su Ming threw out the two martial artists who had already fainted in his hands and shouted loudly to all sides: "All come out, no need to hide."

  Su Ming originally wanted to calm down the Fang Heart Gang, but unexpectedly had the opposite effect, and instead enraged the Fang Heart Gang crowd. When they appeared, each of them was filled with murderous intent.

  More than twenty members of the Fang Xinjing quickly surrounded Su Ming and his two companions. At this time, a Xiantian realm cultivator who had achieved the Great Circle of Perfection walked forward and said to Su Ming, "You can't just have these three people left, can you?"

  "We are unscathed and our combat strength is intact, so you'd best leave now, for you have no hope of victory." Su Ming burst forth with the aura of a First-Order Heaven Stage warrior in an instant, followed by Xiao Ling bursting forth with the aura of a Late-Stage Heaven Stage warrior.

  Two Post-Heavenly Innate Martial Artists?

  At this moment, more than 20 martial artists were instantly stunned, to know that the gap between them and the late-stage congenital martial artists was too great, it was impossible to win.

  Isn't there only one congenital master? Is Zhou Changlao deceiving me? The young man facing Su Ming felt a surge of doubt in his heart.

  They were just as Su Ming had guessed, there was no task to hunt and kill the demon beast, their task was to stop the Xiantian team from completing their mission. They blocked them here because they wanted to let the Xiantian team hunt and kill the demon beast first, wait for them to be weakened, and then ambush them, so that they had a greater chance of winning.

  Zhou Lao reminded them that there were three people in the Xiantian team to pay attention to: mid-term Xiantian Mu Tian, mid-term Xiantian Su Wei, and late-term Xiantian Su Ming. Who would have thought that another Xiao Ling would emerge, also a late-term Xiantian? This greatly increased the difficulty of their mission.

  "Isn't it just two late-stage Innates? With more wolves, they can still kill a tiger." Fang Xinjie coldly snorted and said. After he finished speaking, more than 20 Fang Xinjie's Innate warriors made their move at the same time.

  Looking at the attacking ordinary heart realm warriors, Su Ming's face revealed a wry smile. Fortunately, all of this was within his control range. As long as they injured these twenty or so ordinary heart realm warriors, then the forty or so ordinary heart realm warriors below would not be worth worrying about. With Mu Tian leading, the congenital realm warriors would definitely emerge victorious, it's just that casualties might be a bit hard to control.

  Su Ming made the first move, and in a flash, he transformed into a residual shadow, his palms constantly roaming among the mortal heart realm warriors. Anyone who got close to him would be knocked unconscious by his palm strike, falling softly to the ground.

  Xiao Ling did not use his dual short swords because he had promised Su Ming that he would not kill, so instead he used a single xuan iron staff, which he had borrowed from a pre-heavenly boundary cultivator.

  He didn't charge into the midst of over twenty Mortal Realm warriors like Su Ming did, but instead stood in place and waited for the Mortal Realm warriors to attack. Any who drew near were struck back by him with a single palm, and although his strength wasn't great, the ice-attributed attacks caused one warrior after another to slow down. At this time, only Su Wei was seen to make a move similar to Su Ming's, striking that warrior unconscious with a single palm.

  The three of them acted very decisively and their coordination was quite exquisite. In no time at all, more than twenty ordinary martial artists were knocked unconscious by them.

  After solving the small team, Su Ming and his three men prepared to support Mu Tian and others. Through their cooperation just now, they already had enough confidence to solve the remaining forty or so martial artists in a short period of time.

  Just as they turned back to provide support, a miserable cry came from behind, and the three of them immediately turned around.

  At this time, Su Ming's eyebrows were tightly furrowed because he saw a congenital realm warrior being stabbed in the heart by an ordinary heart realm warrior, and the hope of survival was basically gone.

  Isn't it unbelievable that a congenital boundary warrior can't even be an opponent for a mortal heart boundary warrior? Does this mortal heart boundary warrior have some kind of strong trump card?

  "What I promised you is now null and void, I won't go easy on you."
