At his words, Dark Force surged out of their bodies, and their aura increased rapidly.
Su Mo’s eyes shone with a killing desire. He raised his hand, ready to kill them all.
WHOOSH!
With a piercing air-rending sound, a golden flare streaked across the sky like an arrow toward them.
The group of men in black stopped their attacks and turned to look at the golden flare.
Su Mo also stopped and stared at the oncoming flare with a frown. He sensed that this flare embodied a destructive power.
This resembled an expert, a powerful expert.
WHOOSH!
The golden flare turned into a golden-robed young man.
This young man was tall, handsome, and gave off a carefree vibe.
“Zhang Yihai, your Magic Cloud Stronghold has committed all kinds of crimes. Today, I will avenge the deaths of all your victims by killing you!” The golden-robed young man said coldly. His eyes were like knives piercing through the burly man.
The burly man frowned when he realized this young man was of Lv 4 True Darkness Realm.
“Sir, how have we offended you?” The burly man asked, his face pale.
Lv 4 True Darkness Realm martial artists were truly powerful, and his Stronghold was possibly unable to defeat him, even if they jointly attacked.
“You have not offended me, but I am punishing you in the name of Heaven, based on the crimes you have committed!” The golden-robed young man said proudly.
Then, his gaze swept across the trio and lit up when he spotted Hong Qingxuan.
What a beauty!
What an ethereal demeanor!
The golden-robed young man hid his marveled feelings. He then greeted Hong Qingxuan with a hand-fist salute. “Young maiden, don’t worry. With me and Ji Wenyao around, nothing will happen to you!”
Hong Qingxuan’s face remained cold, but she still nodded politely in acknowledgment.
The young man rejoiced and decided that he must save this damsel in distress. He could even win her heart in the process!
“Ji Wenyao? You’re Ji Wenyao?” The burly man asked with shock and disbelief when he heard the young man’s name.
Ji Wenyao was very famous across East Continent, because he was ranked 736th on the List of Top 1,000 Talents.
Su Mo was also slightly surprised and could not help glancing at the young man again. A talent from the List of Top 1,000 Talents!
Having studied the List of Top 1,000 Talents, Su Mo was not unfamiliar with this name.
“That’s right!” The golden-robed young man nodded, and arrogance on his face became more apparent. He glanced at Hong Qingxuan and was disappointed when he saw that her face remained cool and aloof.
Women tended to fall at his feet and look at him in adoration the moment they knew his identity, but this otherworldly beauty’s expression had not even changed!
Did she not know who he was?
“I am Ji Wenyao, and I am on the List of Top 1,000 Talents!” He explained.
He deliberately emphasized the words “List of Top 1,000 Talents” and hoped that Hong Qingxuan would take note.
Just as he had thought, surprise flickered on Hong Qingxuan’s beautiful face when she heard this. She looked at him appraisingly.
Ji Wenyao was secretly pleased. This otherworldly beauty was no different from the others!
She must also adore strong experts and idolize top talents!
Unlike those other women, this woman was insanely gorgeous. He needed to impress her with his skills.
The burly man’s face changed at these words, and then he hastily commanded, “Retreat!”
Thereafter, he led his men up into the sky and fled.
He knew that with Ji Wenyao around, they were in grave danger.
Even if that golden-robed young man was not Ji Wenyao, they would not be able to handle a Lv 4 True Darkness Realm martial artist. Therefore, he had decided that they needed to retreat entirely.
“Humph! There is no way you’d be able to escape me. I grant you death!” Ji Wenyao declared with a cold laugh, as if he were a judge handing out a death sentence.
A golden long sword appeared in his hand, and with a burst of sword radiance, beams of sword Qi burst forth.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A golden sword Qi with immense power, piercing sharpness and incredible speed shot toward the men in black.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Shrieks filled the air and blood spurted everywhere, dyeing the sky red.
Every single one of them, including their leader, was rendered helpless in the face of the powerful sword Qi. The sword Qi pierced through their bodies, making them fall from the sky.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Their bodies crashed onto the ground and twitched several times before they were completely dead.
Ji Wenyao was extremely powerful. With just one round of attack, he had killed over ten men of the True Darkness Realm.
Ji Wenyao looked disdainfully at the scene below. These men in black were just like ants to him and were not worth his time.
He had come to Devilish Land to deliver punishment on behalf of Heaven and kill all the evil scum who roamed the place.
“Young maiden, I have already killed all these scum. You’re safe now!” Ji Wenyao turned to Hong Qingxuan and flashed a gentle smile.
“Many thanks!” Hong Qingxuan saluted Ji Wenyao in thanks.
Neither she or Su Mo had been threatened by those men in black, but since this person had stepped forward to help them, she naturally needed to thank him for his help.
“Haha! Don’t mention it!” Ji Wenyao waved it off and then asked, “Are you headed toward Black Rock City? I’m heading there as well, so we could travel together!”
The city just ahead was Black Rock City, and they were now less than 500 kilometers away. Ji Wenyao was certain that Hong Qingxuan was headed that way. This was why he had made this remark, hoping to travel together with her.
Ji Wenyao chuckled silently. Once he had more interactions with this girl, capturing her heart would be a piece of cake for a talent like him.
Su Mo looked at him with cold eyes. Ji Wenyao had never bothered to engage with himself or Li Feng since he had arrived. He only lavished all his attention on Hong Qingxuan.
His intentions were as clear as day!
He scoffed to himself. “People like him would not give up until they experienced some pain!”
Yet, he could not underestimate Ji Wenyao’s strength. At Lv 4 True Darkness Realm, and as a top talent ranked 736th on the List of Top 1,000 Talents, his combat strength was definitely extraordinary.
Su Mo cleared his thoughts and flew toward the corpses of the men in black.
He started to collect their storage rings, for he was sure that these people must have been rich.
Ji Wenyao may have not cared for it, but he was not giving it up.
Ji Wenyao looked at Su Mo’s actions disdainfully.
This person must be completely broke!
