Chapter 406: 221
However, there was no rush as he had three days. He wanted to thoroughly investigate the mountain range, and scrutinize what really lay behind everything. What were the true intentions of the Heavenly Saint Taoist?
Just then, a man came running in a panic. He had more than a dozen wounds on his body and looked rather pathetic. Behind him, a hundred people were hot in pursuit, endlessly casting all kinds of rules and divine arts at him.
The man questioned while fleeing, “Didn’t you say that as long as I’m on your side, you won’t hurt me? Why did you go back on your word as soon as I entered the mountain range? Isn’t that too dishonest?”
“We don’t need to keep a promise with you. If you join the Throne ranks, it increases their quota. So, we must nip the danger in the bud. You might as well stop running.”
The hundred pursuers sneered at the man’s naivety. The only reason they had negotiated with him initially was that they were afraid he would join the Throne group, which was merely a temporary measure. They never expected this man to foolishly believe it and continue to believe it till now.
The man being chased clenched his fists. He was filled with regret. Why was he so naive at the time? Given the situation, he should have joined the Throne ranks. But he had a rapport with this group of super realm warriors, thinking brothers would not engage in fighting and killing.
Now he saw the truth. When it came to opportunity, the face of brotherhood was quickly discarded. While covered in wounds, he kept running forward. As long as he was alive, he didn’t want to admit defeat. If a Throne were to find him, perhaps he’d still have a glimmer of hope.
This scene infuriated Ba Ke Yun, who stood up and said, “This many people chasing and killing one person, isn’t that too heartless? Especially since you are brothers. You have already entered a state of obsession over a single quota among ten thousand people. Why can’t you cooperate?”
Ba Ke Yun was reminded of the scene when he himself was chased by the Grand Elder, equally desperate and struggling to survive. If it hadn’t been for Logan’s intervention, he would already be in hell.
“Kid, I advise you not to meddle. You’re alone. Can you stand against over a hundred of us? You won’t be able to save him. If you insist on playing the hero, you’ll have to pay with your life.”
Over a hundred people expressed defiance. Even though they recognized Ba Ke Yun as a Throne, so what? They were over a hundred and most of them were high-ranking overstep, only one step away from the Throne. Thus, their combat effectiveness was nearly equal to that of a Throne.
Ba Ke Yun shook his head, not wanting to argue, and punched out. His fist carried the lightning laws, instantly stirring up a terrifying airflow, sending dozens of the hundred men retreating.
Everyone was taken aback, realizing Ba Ke Yun’s frightening strength. He was no ordinary Throne. Having realized the lightning laws, his combat effectiveness could match that of an average Dominator. If they persisted in fighting him, they probably wouldn’t last more than three moves.
Consequently, the hundred odd people quickly withdrew: “Senior, we apologize for our offence. Please take him with you. We won’t bother you again as we will go and kill other mythical beings.”
Ba Ke Yun, not wanting to go for total annihilation, waved his hand and the hundred odd men swiftly left. Logan frowned. He thought Ba Ke Yun was too kind. These hundred men would undoubtedly bear a grudge. Once they exaggerate the situation back at their base, they would effectively have offended the entire Super Class Alliance.
Among these tens of thousands of people, the Super Class Alliance alone accounted for six to seven thousand. Another two to three thousand were like Logan, although they hadn’t officially joined any faction, their realm had determined their allegiance. The remaining two to three thousand were mainly of the super-tier, so the Thrones were in danger.
Although the Thrones were strong, they were outnumbered. How could a hundred Thrones fight against over nine thousand super-tiers? If these super-tiers joined forces to attack the Mythical Realm entities, the Thrones might not be able to defend them even if they could block them. They would eventually find a loophole.
“Thank you, senior, for saving me. If you don’t mind, I’d like to join you in killing a hundred demon beasts. After the killing, we can part ways. I, Zhu Ge Nan, assure you, I won’t be a burden.”
The man bowed respectfully to Logan and said, “I’m just a small mythical figure, and I can’t repay your life-saving grace. The only thing I can do is to help you pass the test.”
“No need, I, Ba Ke Yun, earn everything by my own abilities.” Ba Ke Yun shook his head. He didn’t want to rely on others, and it seemed a bit like taking advantage of others in their crisis, which didn’t align with his principles. The only reason he intervened just now was that he empathized with Zhu Ge Nan.
Logan rolled his eyes at him and said, “So, you want to kill one hundred Throne Demonic Beasts yourself? Regardless of whether it’s possible, even if you do manage to do it, it goes against the heavenly laws and results in great karma.”
“I forgot about that. I really need to find someone from the Mythical Realm to cooperate.” Ba Ke Yun scratched his head awkwardly. So the three of them decided to group together and kill a hundred Mythical Realm demon beasts first.
Of course, Ba Ke Yun wasn’t just out to use others. “You help me pass the test, and I will protect you for three days. Even if it means having to go against these tens of thousands of people, I won’t step back. That’s my promise to you.”
“I believe you,” Zhu Ge Nan nodded, “If you weren’t virtuous, you wouldn’t have helped just now. Besides, whether I live or die doesn’t matter. If I can help you, it’s worth it. Compared to those I consider as brothers, meeting you once has been much better.”
Because of the addition of a Mythical Realm being, the three were being watched by many along the way. However, since Ba Ke Yun was a Throne-level entity, nobody dared provoke them. After all, to defeat a Throne, one would need at least a hundred super-tiers in battle, and preferably high-ranking ones.
Logan frowned and said, “Although we’re strong, we need to keep a low profile. After all, we’re up against tens of thousands. Let’s hurry up and find a hundred Mythical Beast demon beasts first, and obtain the pass qualification.”
He shared the same concern that the longer they waited, the more difficult it would become. Most of the people right now were just focused on passing the test, so they would do their best to kill the demon beasts. The goal of preventing the Thrones from passing was secondary. However, after one or two days, when people snapped back to reality, they would begin to group together to kill the Mythical Realm entities.
In this mountain range, there was no shortage of Mythical Realm beasts. Therefore, within just an hour, they already caught up with fifty to sixty of them. They were just short of over forty beasts.
