Blood devils mercenary group
ALMIGHTY THUNDER MONARCH
Chapter 33- Blood devils Mercenary Group.
At the beginning, the Valley was actually full of light, the entrance had light dragonflies that was dancing around each other forming a splendid and colourful sight like a moving painting, it totally illuminated the entire area.
Even Changlei Fang didn't understand why this place was called the Valley Of Darkness.
"You Will know soon" the old man said after seeing Changlei Fang's confusion.
Soon enough, he found out why, after going more deeper, The happily dancing light dragonflies were now gone, and with the absence of the dragonflies, the original lighted valley was plunged into darkness. Everything was pitch black, and the moon in the sky didn't even illuminate the area in the slightest.
It was as if there was a barrier stopping the light from radiating down to the earth, everything was dark and he couldn't even see his own hand.
Elder Song said
"Everybody hurdle together" Changlei Fang and Sun Nüying complied as they watched Elder Song bringing something out of his pouch.
It was a little lamp, it was blue in colour, even before the light was turned on, it let out a resplendent blue glow, and when Elder Song tossed in a light blue marble in the lamp, it turned on and released a bright light that even illuminated 7 meters away from them.
The previous darkness was gone, leaving a bright view.
After Changlei Fang directed some questions to that Elder, he found out that this lamp was called the Saint Luminous Blue Lamp. It was an inscripted item that was used specifically in dark places and it had no other uses whether offensively or defensively and it was a peak half star rank item.
Using this lamp was very expensive, he had bought this lamp for eight gold coins but he had to use a large amount of energy any time he used it.
Changlei Fang was surprised that this people had something like this, a mid one star rank item with them.
"Let's go" At the command of the old man, they moved into the Valley Of Darkness.
They stumbled on a wild beast, it was a Gold Maned Beast Lion. This lion had a black body up to 5 feet tall and had a half Zhang long red tail.
The old man tossed the lamp to Sun Nüying and told her
"remember to show us the light clearly"
They had To be serious, this was the Valley Of Darkness, just a moment of blindness might cost them their lives, and that was even more so, when they were facing this lion, this Golden Maned Beast Lion, strangely had its eyesight amplified in the dark, making it a terrifying opponent to fight.
Sun Nüying held the lamp tightly as he stretched out the lamp in their direction, completely illuminating the whole area.
Changlei Fang watched as Elder Song and Liang Yun after collaboration could finally defeat the lion, forcing it to flee.
But Changlei Fang could tell that Liang Yun wasn't using his real strength and was holding back, and he couldn't guess why.
So they proceeded deeper and deeper into the Valley, they fought other wild beasts along the way, but with Elder Song's 8th tier body refinement realm cultivation, and with Changlei Fang helping from time to time, they were able to go through it.
Changlei Fang now knew that this Elder Song was very strong, he was put in such states by the Gold striped bears, was because he was already very injured, and he had to fight those bears with their excellent teamwork.
As for what injured Elder Song earlier, he said it was an injury he obtained in the past.
They finally got to the end of the Valley, and they saw dark soil everywhere but what caught their interest was a patch of red soil, with a diameter less than fourteen centimeters, the red soil sparkled even under the intense darkness.
They saw a herb that looked more like a flower and it had a white stem but red petals, it looked very ordinary, but from the Yin aura it emitted, you could tell it was anything but ordinary.
Elder Song, a usually calm person, started trembling in excitement, as he said with a shaky voice
"This is the herb, this is the herb!, hahahaha!, we can finally heal captain, wait you bastard, watch how I will surprise you when I come back, hahahaha!"
The old man let out a hearty laughter, Sun Nüying also started shedding tears of joy, her heart will always ache when she saw their Captain's feeble appearance, and now their Captain could finally get cured.
"Grandpa, let us harvest it" Sun Nüying said with an eager voice.
"Yes, I know" Elder Song walked up happily, preparing to harvest the herb, but-
Whoosh!
Six figures appeared in front of him, blocking his path, this six wore blood red garments, and they had a crimson red skull mask that ran across their face, they also had their own lamp, which was being held by a 6th tier body refinement realm cultivator at the side, but theirs emitted a red light.
Changlei Fang frowned when he saw this people, from the death qi they emitted, you could tell that this people had killed a lot of people. They looked like asuras from hell coming to the mundane world.
As Elder Song and Sun Nüying saw this people, they showed immense fright, as Elder Song stammered to say
"W-What..are y-you people doing he-here"
Changlei Fang looked at the old man, and he deduced that from the old man's tone he knew who this skull masked people were.
"The white warriors, more like the white pussies" one of the six figure said in a sneering manner.
And after rounds of conversation between them, he found out that they were the rival group of Elder Song's own mercenary group and they were called the Blood Devils.
In the Supernatural Marble Mountain Town, the White Warriors and the Blood devils were the top two mercenary groups. But after the captain of the White Warriors fell ill due to poison, the Blood Devils had been going increasingly rampant.
The one who seemed like the head, said
"So you came to get the Yin Elemental Herb, to save your 'good captain'
Elder Song said in a shaky voice
"How did you know we were coming here"
"We got info that you will be coming to the Desolate Area, so we simply followed"
Elder Song went very calm all of a sudden, he knew they had been betrayed, he turned back and glanced at Sun Nüying and Liang Yun, he knew Sun Nüying had a bond with captain that wasn't any less stronger than the one she had with him. So it had to be Liang Yun.
Then what he heard confirmed his suspicions
"Liang Yun, nice job, if we had let that captain get healed, all of our efforts will have been in vain"
Whoosh!
Liang Yun flashstepped over to their side, and looked at Elder Song and Sun Nüying with coldness.
"Liang Yun you f**king bastard, how could you do this?, the captain had never mistreated you, has he" the old man erupted in rage, who knew that their own downfall were going to be caused by someone they called a comrade.
Sun Nüying said while she pointed a trembling finger at Liang Yun "You…"
"What about me, haven't you heard that you have to join the winning side… well since you are going to die anyways, let me fill you in some things, the Blood devils captain has already entered the Spiritual Core Realm, and is just stabilizing his cultivation" Liang Yun said shamelessly.
"What" Elder Song was shocked, if that was true, then the White Warriors will no longer be competitors, the Blood devils will then proceed to becoming the sole ruler of the Supernatural Marble Mountain Town, that was very bad news for them.
The head of this group here in the desolate area said
"Just don't struggle too much and allow us kill you quickly it would save both of us the stress"
Elder Song and Sun Nüying faces went pale.
Liang Yun said to the man "Esteemed Elder, that boy is something else" he pointed to Changlei Fang.
"Why"
"This boy is at 6th tier body refinement realm, but he instantly kill up to ten 7th tier body refinement realm bears, we should watch that boy closely"
"Hmmm" the elderly was surprised, such genius in the Desolate Area was indeed very rare, but he nodded nonchalantly, indicating he didn't see a 6th tier body refinement realm Changlei Fang as a threat, after all they were 8th tiers present.
Elder Song and Sun Nüying knew they were finished, this Elder was a half step 9th tier body refinement realm cultivator, and they had two 8th tier body refinement cultivators, and two 7th tier body refinement realm cultivators, and one 6th tier, it will be easy to kill them.
Elder Song and Sun Nüying felt plenty regret, not because of they were going to die, but because they couldn't get the herb back to their Captain.
Changlei Fang looked at Sun Nüying, then he twisted her left hand slightly.
Break!
Removing the lamp and he crushed the lamp with a crushing heaven blow.
Sun Nüying was shocked, their only slim chance of escaping was gone, given how dark this valley was, without a light source it will be very hard to navigate, talk less of escaping.
