Senior Brother Sun is Just Too Steady

The entire space seemed to tilt within his field of vision.

The forest shook as trees collapsed wildly in every direction.

Countless demonic beasts let out shrill, miserable cries.

Stampedes were occurring at every passing moment.

The earth was cracking, and the sky was trembling.

Light seemed to be twisted and swallowed by an invisible force; the world before his eyes rapidly faded, turning gray and ghastly pale.

It was a scene of an impending apocalypse.

Looking at the blood-splattered earth.

Everyone's heart shuddered violently, and they could not help but tremble in fear.

A dozen disciples of Beast Taming Mountain, already severely wounded, saw this sudden catastrophe and completely broke down.

Some simply sat down on the ground, their eyes vacant.

"Run! Are you waiting here to die?" Liu Yanran was so angry she could have breathed fire.

The man remained indifferent.

He could no longer run.

The path ahead was sealed, and there was nowhere left to retreat.

He might as well just wait for death.

At least, it would be more comfortable.

On the other side, the guards who had been hunting Liu Yanran and the others were in equally wretched states, scurrying about in chaos; some even drew their blades and hacked wildly at their own comrades.

In an instant, there were countless casualties.

The smile on Zhou Chen's face froze completely. The composure in his eyes vanished, and cold sweat poured down his back as he felt that disaster could strike at any moment.

No, I cannot die here!

I am the Sect Master of Beast Taming Mountain, one of the most noble people under the heavens, with a lifetime of glory and wealth waiting for me to enjoy. I cannot die!

A bunch of trash! Useless idiots!

Catching a glimpse of his subordinates in disarray, even killing one another, Zhou Chen cursed loudly, "You dog slaves, don't you see that this Young Master is injured?! Hurry over and protect me! Do you believe that with a single word, I could have you all chopped up and fed to the dogs!"

Zhou Chen had begun to ramble, speaking without thinking.

When he met their strange, eerie gazes, his ferocious expression shifted. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over his head, and a trace of terror crept across his face.

He suddenly sobered up.

Once sober, he began to feel fear.

"It's you, you piece of trash, who made it so I couldn't even live as a dog in peace!"

Puchi!

Zhou Chen's eyes bulged. He slowly looked down at the cold blade tip protruding from his chest, his eyes filled with intense unwillingness and resentment, before he slowly collapsed.

A dignified Eighth Rank expert, facing a sneak attack from a Sixth Rank subordinate.

He did not even have the strength to fight back.

Until the moment of his death, he suddenly realized one thing: from beginning to end, he had only ever been a small character.

Even if he had used a secret technique to forcibly raise his strength from Subordinate Fifth Rank to the Eighth Rank, it could not change his pathetic ending.

He had not lived with grand prestige.

And even in death, it was not the magnificent, heroic end he had imagined.

It was meaningless, inexplicable.

Everything was different from what he had expected and hoped for.

Like a grain of sand falling into the ocean, it did not stir up a single ripple before being swallowed by the surging waves.

Insignificant, leaving no trace behind.

The chaos continued.

The sounds of slaughter and screams rose and fell in succession.

"Ah! I'll fight you to the death, you beast!"

A burly man holding a blade, one of the pursuers with Eighth Rank cultivation, swung his weapon fiercely at a massive rhinoceros demonic beast.

"Moo!"

The next second, with a crack, the blade shattered and the man died.

A corpse, resembling a pile of mud, fell from mid-air.

It did not even attract much attention from the rhinoceros, as if it had merely accidentally stepped on an ant along the way.

The rhinoceros fled frantically, its large eyes filled with terror and despair, as if something truly terrifying were chasing it from behind.

"Help!"

"Kill, kill them!"

"No, don't come over here, don't come over here!"

Screams rose and fell, echoing through the forest.

In the span of just a few breaths, those frantic rebels from Beast Taming Mountain were trampled by a stampede of maddened demonic beasts.

In an instant, the casualties were heavy, with barely one in ten surviving.

Moreover, those who remained alive were all wounded, their faces deathly pale and ashen.

They had clearly suffered a massive blow.

On the other side, Liu Yanran and her group from Beast Taming Mountain, who had remained seated on the ground, were completely unharmed.

The endless swarm of demonic beasts was only concerned with fleeing for their lives; they had no time to pay any attention to them.

That group of Beast Taming Mountain rebels had courted death, insisting on believing the beasts were coming for them and resisting with all their might, which only provoked the herd into a frenzy and led to their mass slaughter.

For a moment, the dramatic outcome made the entire scene appear utterly ridiculous.

The field fell silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

As the tremors gradually subsided, the people among the rebel forces slowly began to notice the anomaly.

Immediately, some turned green and red in the face.

Others spat out a mouthful of blood and died on the spot.

They were literally angered to death!

Meanwhile, Liu Yanran and her companions on the opposite side were filled with wild joy, followed by a lingering sense of fear.

Everyone stared with strange expressions at the fellow disciple who had stubbornly insisted on staying put, their eyes flickering incessantly.

Holy crap, they all shouted inwardly.

If it weren't for this guy, they probably would have died unjustly this time.

Right then, some even secretly made up their minds that if they survived this, they would definitely build a good relationship with this guy in the future.

If they ever encountered a matter of luck, they would let him go first.

If there was a cliff, they would let him jump first.

Who knew? He might just stumble upon the legacy of some great senior's cave dwelling.

Damn it, this luck was simply heaven-defying.

Now that they looked closely, they realized that although this guy was covered in blood and looked quite miserable, he was actually the least injured among them, aside from being a bit exhausted.

Was there any justice in this world?

If not for this incident, they truly wouldn't have noticed that this guy, who usually had no presence, had such good luck.

No wonder Senior Brother Sun had remained as steady as Mount Tai.

With a formidable enemy at hand and the claws of demonic beasts practically shoved in his face, he had still maintained such a calm demeanor.

He had clearly been confident all along!

Admirable, truly admirable!

As expected of Senior Brother Sun, he was truly steady!

Even the person in question was bewildered.

He couldn't help but wonder.

"Could it be that I am truly the legendary Child of Luck?"

Everyone seized the time to rest and recover.

Although there was occasional joking, it was merely to ease the tension, and their gazes remained fixed on the opposite side.

Although the wave of beasts had inexplicably cleared the siege for them just now and caused the enemy to suffer heavy losses, the opposition still had thirty or forty people left, which was still significantly stronger than their own side.

If a fight broke out, their chances of winning were not high.

Liu Yanran and the others understood this clearly, and seeing that the other side did not move, they were happy to recover a bit more strength.

The scene that just unfolded seemed long, but in reality, it had only taken a few breaths.

It was far from enough to heal their injuries; at most, it was just a chance to catch their breath.

Suddenly, a flash of killing intent cut through the air.

"Dodge, quickly!"

Liu Yanran, possessing the highest cultivation, was the first to sense the anomaly and let out a sharp shout.

The opponent's last remaining Rank 8 expert grabbed a discarded long blade and hurled it fiercely toward them!

The internal energy of a Rank 8 expert was formidable.

Even a pebble could match the power of an ordinary bullet.

A long blade was even more unstoppable.

"Go to hell!"

"That brat Zhou Chen is already dead. As long as I kill you lot, it'll be a great merit, and from now on, I'll be the one calling the shots at Beast Taming Mountain!"

The burly man's face was twisted in a savage grin as he let out a series of strange cries, his voice thick with excitement.

"We can't block it!"

Even from a distance, Liu Yanran knew instantly.

The power of this blade was something they could never withstand.

Even though Liu Yanran herself possessed Rank 7 cultivation, she was currently severely wounded; if she were even grazed by this strike, she would either die or be crippled.

"Senior Brother Sun, dodge!!"

The blade drew near, its target clear.

Everyone realized in an instant that the target of this strike was none other than Senior Brother Sun, whom they had all been teasing earlier for his heaven-defying luck!

"It's over!"

Including Senior Brother Sun himself, everyone felt a chill run through their hearts.

Even if Senior Brother Sun truly had heaven-defying luck, it was absolutely impossible for him to remain unscathed under this blade.

Unable to bear it, everyone closed their eyes, as if they could not bring themselves to witness the tragedy of their fellow disciple being splattered with blood the very next second.
