"Hah, the mere Flowing Sea Sect wants to associate with me? What a joke."
Zhang Ergou sneered, not taking the Flowing Sea Sect seriously at all.
He even spoke of them with extreme contempt.
"Seeking death."
Li Ku was furious. At this moment, he no longer cared about finding out Zhang Ergou's origins.
He swung his sword again, slashing at Zhang Ergou.
A sword energy, fiercer than before, carrying a bone-chilling cold, surged towards Zhang Ergou.
The other Flowing Sea Sect disciples did not stand by and watch.
As Li Ku made his move, they attacked in unison.
Instantly, all sorts of spells and techniques bloomed in the air.
Facing the surging assault, Zhang Ergou showed no panic. Su Dan Novel Network.
He tapped his toes lightly, his figure vanishing from his spot like a ghost.
The next moment, he reappeared beside a Flowing Sea Sect disciple.
The man was shocked and immediately raised his weapon to block.
But how could he be Zhang Ergou's match? Zhang Ergou casually slapped out, seemingly without effort, yet the man's brains splattered, and he died a most agonizing death.
"What, you dare kill Sixth Brother?"
Li Ku was utterly enraged. He hadn't expected Zhang Ergou to kill their junior brother while they were all attacking him.
The others glared at Zhang Ergou, their attacks relentless.
However, the speed of their attacks simply couldn't keep up with Zhang Ergou's movement.
Zhang Ergou moved so fast that they could only see streaks of afterimages.
As a result, many attacks landed on their own comrades.
"Everyone spread out a bit. This brat's speed is too strange. If we're too close, we're playing right into his hands."
Li Ku quickly identified the problem.
Looking at the wounds on his fellow disciples left by their own attacks, he immediately ordered everyone to scatter.
But he had still underestimated Zhang Ergou's strength.
Even with several miles between them, the current Zhang Ergou could move back and forth several times with a flick of his finger.
The others, following Li Ku's instructions, quickly retreated and spread out.
They still maintained a pincer formation against Zhang Ergou.
Countless spells, imbued with killing intent, attacked Zhang Ergou from all directions.
Zhang Ergou remained unperturbed.
"I hit him, hahah, I hit him!"
A Flowing Sea Sect disciple, seeing his attack land on Zhang Ergou, rejoiced.
However, the expected scene of Zhang Ergou being injured did not appear.
Instead, Zhang Ergou, in their eyes, slowly turned into an illusion.
Only then did everyone realize that the figure smiling at them was merely an afterimage left by Zhang Ergou's incredible speed.
Where had the real Zhang Ergou gone?
A sense of dread began to rise in everyone's hearts.
Every Flowing Sea Sect disciple felt a chill down their spine, each believing Zhang Ergou was right behind them.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
......
A series of thuds echoed as figures hit the ground.
This included all the members of the Crimson Fire Demon Slaying Squad and the surviving Flowing Sea Sect disciples.
A profound sense of fear naturally arose in everyone's hearts.
Zhang Ergou still hadn't revealed himself, and more and more Flowing Sea Sect disciples fell.
In the blink of an eye, only Li Ku remained.
"You brat, come out quickly! My father is an inner elder of the Flowing Sea Sect. If you kill me, my father will tear you to shreds!"
His voice trembled with fear, but he forced himself to rely on his father's name to intimidate Zhang Ergou.
"Li Kongcai of the Flowing Sea Sect, what's your relationship with him?"
Indeed, upon hearing Li Ku mention his father was an inner elder of the Flowing Sea Sect, Zhang Ergou revealed himself.
Li Ku was overjoyed, thinking his words had scared Zhang Ergou.
"Li Kongcai is my father. If you spare me, this matter will be forgotten."
Seeing that Zhang Ergou knew his father, Li Ku regained some of his bravado.
"Oh, really?"
Zhang Ergou sneered. He hadn't expected that during his experience-gathering trip, he would encounter Li Kongcai's son.
What a twisted fate.
He hadn't even gone to settle the score with Li Kongcai yet, and Li Kongcai's son had fallen into his hands.
Zhang Ergou remembered it clearly.
During the Grand Sect Competition, he had been inexplicably captured.
Imprisoned in the Flowing Sea Sect's jail.
It was the inner elder Li Kongcai of the Flowing Sea Sect who had orchestrated it.
Zhang Ergou had never forgotten this enmity.
Now that Li Kongcai's son was in his grasp, there was no reason to let him go.
"You should truly thank your father for being so good."
Zhang Ergou smiled broadly, as if he truly had a deep friendship with Li Kongcai.
"You truly know my father?"
Li Ku was somewhat surprised and delighted. If he was an acquaintance of his father, then he had narrowly escaped death today.
He even began to address Zhang Ergou with respect.
The members of the Crimson Fire Demon Slaying Squad were greatly alarmed.
Although they had been guarding Liu Yue, their eyes had never left the battlefield.
They had been paying close attention to the actions of Zhang Ergou and Li Ku.
Now, hearing that Zhang Ergou was acquainted with Li Ku's father, a look of worry instantly appeared on the faces of the Crimson Fire Demon Slaying Squad members.
They feared that Zhang Ergou might turn around and help Li Ku.
......
"Senior, what is your connection with my father?"
To save his own life, Li Ku desperately tried to ingratiate himself.
"Connection? Hah. Remember to open your eyes wider when you reincarnate in your next life."
After speaking calmly, Zhang Ergou struck Li Ku's crown with his palm.
Caught off guard, Li Ku's brains instantly splattered.
Red and white matter sprayed across the ground.
......
Zhang Ergou skillfully plucked the storage rings from the Flowing Sea Sect disciples.
Then, he conjured spiritual fire and cremated the corpses.
This made the members of the Crimson Fire Demon Slaying Squad's eyelids twitch.
Did this guy often engage in such banditry? His proficiency was simply...
Originally, Zhang Ergou had planned to share some of the spoils with these members.
But then he thought, they often frequented this demon beast forest.
If they carelessly revealed the spoils they obtained and were seen by others, it would be a great trouble.
To avoid bringing them the calamity of death, Zhang Ergou reluctantly claimed all the spoils for himself.
This was absolutely for their own good, with no hint of greed for wealth.
The members of the Crimson Fire Demon Slaying Squad didn't say anything about it.
Zhang Ergou had killed the people, and he had taken their storage rings.
It had nothing to do with them.
So, they naturally felt no envy.
They also knew that if they took the spoils, they might have the life to take them but not to spend them, so no one spoke up.
......
"Who, who killed my son?"
Meanwhile, in the inner sect of the Flowing Sea Sect, a heaven-shattering roar erupted from a mountain peak.
The echoes reverberated throughout the entire inner sect of the Flowing Sea Sect, puzzling the elders and disciples.
They didn't know why the inner elder Li Kongcai was acting so erratically again.
His useless son, if not for Li Kongcai piling him with vast amounts of elixirs, would probably not even have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage by now.
And yet, he cherished him so dearly.
