Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 627: Chapter 496: Killing at Will

Wang Hao said politely, “I am Wang Hao from Beast Taming Heavenly Sect. May I ask which sect Brother Su comes from?”

Su Yuan smiled and said, “No sect. I am just a loose cultivator.”

In the East Continent, powerful individuals mostly came from major and medium countries.

Whereas in the Southern Continent, the capacity of sects was not as large as that of countries, leading to many powerful loose cultivators who often concealed themselves in various places.

Thus, as long as one didn’t claim to be from the East Continent, there was no need to fabricate stories and arouse suspicion.

Upon hearing that Su Yuan was a solitary loose cultivator, Wang Hao’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Brother Su is so young and has already nurtured such a powerful beast. Would you consider joining our Beast Taming Heavenly Sect?

I assure you that as long as Brother Su passes some minor tests of our sect, you can directly become a true disciple!”

“Senior Brother Wang, this?!”

The disciples behind Lin Qi were shocked. Becoming a true disciple directly, was that really possible?

As a veteran true disciple, Wang Hao was naturally more aware of the situation within the sect than Lin Qi and the others.

The Bloodline Spirit Cave allowed only one beast. Those who could pass the fifth trial were mostly core disciples, and it was rare for even true disciples to pass the Bloodline Spirit Cave.

Therefore, the sect had a rule that anyone who passed the fifth trial of the Bloodline Spirit Cave and passed basic tests on realm and spiritual power could directly become a true disciple and receive guidance from Radiant Moon or even Burning Sun experts within the sect.

Moreover, if Wang Hao could recommend Su Yuan to Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, he would also receive a reward from the sect, akin to an “internal recommendation award.”

However, Su Yuan pretended to ponder for a moment and then clasped his hands in thanks, saying, “Thank you for your kind offer, Brother Wang. But I have no intentions of joining any sect for now.”

Wang Hao was taken aback, and everyone around them was also stunned.

No one had expected that this young man would refuse the invitation of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, and the offer of true disciple status!

Of course, Su Yuan would not join the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect.

Firstly, he was only a half-baked Beast Tamer;

Secondly, he came here to search for the Divine Wind. Joining a sect would only seek unnecessary constraints on himself.

Thirdly, he came from the East Continent, his identity extremely sensitive. If his true identity were discovered by the sect’s experts using some secret technique, escaping would be difficult…

“Brother Su, would you reconsider? Our Beast Taming Heavenly Sect is one of the top ten sects, holding the finest beast taming secret techniques, routes, and experts.

If you become a true disciple, you could even obtain treasures comparable to True Spirit Blood or even better ones!”

Su Yuan said, “Beast Taming Heavenly Sect is indeed a sacred place in the hearts of us Beast Tamers. But I am used to being free and unrestrained…

It has been a pleasure meeting you on this journey, Brother Wang, but please do not persuade me further.”

Seeing Su Yuan say this, Wang Hao sighed and gave a bitter smile, “Since it is so, I will not say more. I hope Brother Su will give it more thought later.

If you ever change your mind and wish to join our sect, just come to Hidden Dragon Mountain to find me.”

Su Yuan smiled and said, “Certainly, see you if fate allows.”

Su Yuan bid farewell, his gaze sweeping over the people in the field before leaping forward and heading west again.

“What a pity, that we couldn’t recruit such a skilled Beast Tamer into our Beast Taming Heavenly Sect.” Wang Hao sighed but suddenly noticed a red light flashing in his eyes.

Looking up, he saw Yan Zhen from the True Yang Sect shooting out at high speed towards the distance.

“Not just this one, even that Yan Zhen from the True Yang Sect passed the fourth trial, though he is too unruly.” Lin Qi beside him also sighed.

The fourth trial usually only beasts from true disciples could pass. Lin Qi himself barely passed the third trial and naturally felt envious.

Another disciple suddenly said, “Speaking of which, they are all heading west. Could it be that Yan Zhen from the True Yang Sect might trouble that Beast Tamer?”

Lin Qi shook his head, “Who cares, they are all gone anyway. It has nothing to do with us anymore… Hey, Senior Brother?”

Lin Qi turned his head to see Wang Hao already summoning a Green Sky Kite.

Wang Hao felt secretly annoyed, how could he have overlooked this?

Yan Zhen was powerful and seemed excessively bold and domineering.

Just now, he had even shown a bit of killing intent toward his junior brothers and sisters. Facing Su Yuan, who had obtained the top-grade True Spirit Blood, who knows what he might think!

Su Yuan had just come out of the Bloodline Spirit Cave, and his strong beast that passed the cave was likely heavily injured in the trial.

At this time, if Yan Zhen targeted him…

Being a fellow Beast Tamer, Wang Hao did not want Su Yuan, this suddenly appeared powerful Beast Tamer, to meet any unexpected incident at Yan Zhen’s hand.

“Wait here. I’ll go have a look.” Wang Hao said in a deep voice, then leaped onto the back of the Green Sky Kite.

With a high-pitched cry, the Green Sky Kite transformed into a green tornado carrying Wang Hao and chasing after…

Ahead, Su Yuan was rushing forward when he suddenly sensed something.

“So quick to catch up?”

Su Yuan’s expression remained indifferent as he slightly slowed his pace.

A moment later, a red sword light swept overhead and suddenly landed in front of him.

Su Yuan stopped and looked at Yan Zhen in a Sun Ring Red Robe before him, asking, “What is the meaning of this?”

Yan Zhen said coldly, “Since you have passed the fifth trial of the Bloodline Spirit Cave, you must have obtained the top-grade True Spirit Blood.”

“Certainly.” Su Yuan smiled, “Golden True Spirit Blood. What, do you want it?”

Yan Zhen flipped his hand, revealing a transparent stone with a drop of golden True Spirit Blood inside, though it was noticeably paler than the one Mo Fei had obtained.

This was the True Spirit Blood Yan Zhen obtained by passing the fourth trial.

“I’ll trade mine with yours.” Yan Zhen said.

Su Yuan laughed, “Are you joking, exchanging top-grade True Spirit Blood for mid-grade? That seems unreasonable.

Of course, if you have other treasures, perhaps I might consider.”

Yan Zhen sneered, “Exchanging top-grade for mid-grade is indeed unreasonable. But what if I add your hands, feet, or even your head to the deal, would that make it fair?”

“Oh?” Su Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Are all people from the Southern Continent this straightforward?

Su Yuan shook his head and looked at Yan Zhen with a cold glint in his eyes, saying with a smile, “Why don’t you come and try?”

“Seems you won’t drink the toast and insist on drinking the penalty wine!”

Yan Zhen sneered, not wanting to waste more words with Su Yuan. He pinched his sword seal with his left hand. With a “clang,” the red light on his treasured sword behind him brightened, flying out on its own!

True Yang Sect primarily focused on Fire Element, divided into two branches—Qi Yang and Sword Yang.

Both Qi Yang and Sword Yang specialized in Star Power attacks.

However, Qi Yang excelled in spells;

Whereas Sword Yang focused on a single True Yang Magic Sword. Using the magic sword as its core carrier, it significantly enhanced its attack and defense!

At this moment, Yan Zhen’s sword had just flown out when the True Yang Runes on it lit up and transformed into a flame dragon, heading straight for Su Yuan!

Sword Technique·True Yang Wandering Dragon!

Watching the dragon shoot towards him, Su Yuan flashed a silver light and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

“Instant Teleportation?”

Yan Zhen’s pupils contracted, quickly realizing what was happening. He turned around and struck out with his palm.

However, Su Yuan did not use any other moves. With a thought, a layer of black light spread out, directly trapping the unprepared Yan Zhen into the Qingming Realm!

Yan Zhen’s True Yang Magic Sword shone brightly and disappeared from its original position, seemingly recalled by Yan Zhen through the Qingming Realm.

“With or without a sword, it’s the same. It’s just a desperate struggle…”

Su Yuan was unfazed, chuckling softly as he continued forward.

Before long, strong winds rose from behind, and the Green Sky Kite carrying Wang Hao swiftly chased after.

Su Yuan’s demeanor remained calm. “Brother Wang, why are you here?”

“I just came to check.” Wang Hao was puzzled to find Su Yuan unharmed and Yan Zhen nowhere in sight. “Brother Su, are you alright?”

Su Yuan laughed, “I’m just on my way. What could happen?”

Wang Hao thought for a moment and asked, “Brother Su didn’t see Yan Zhen from the True Yang Sect?”

“Yan Zhen?”

“The disciple in a red robe carrying a treasured sword from the True Yang Sect.”

“Oh!” Su Yuan suddenly seemed to recall, “A while ago, a red light shot ahead. Could it be him?”

“He’s already far ahead…”

Wang Hao felt something was amiss but seeing Su Yuan so calm, he thought maybe he was overthinking.

“Alright, I’ll head back. Brother Su, take your time. And remember to consider joining our Beast Taming Heavenly Sect.”

Wang Hao did not forget to invite Su Yuan to the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, seemingly quite persistent.

“Sure, no problem.” Su Yuan responded with a smile, clasping his hands before continuing on his way.

Watching Su Yuan gradually disappear from view, Wang Hao shook his head.

“Seems Yan Zhen didn’t cause any trouble after all. I overthought it.”

Wang Hao laughed to himself and rode the Green Sky Kite back…

Meanwhile, in Qingming Realm, in the Nine Dragon Locking Yang Array within Subspace 2.

Yan Zhen, covered in numerous blade wounds, blood dripping from his robes, looked in a sorry state.

Staring at the figure before him, dressed in a Blood Robe and surrounded by Black Flame, “Su Yuan,” Yan Zhen’s voice trembled, “You even have Undead Evil Fire! Who… Who are you?!”

The Demon Soul smirked, “It doesn’t matter who I am. Since you seek death, I shall grant it.”

As soon as he finished, the surrounding Black Flame merged into the blade!

“Flash.” The Demon Saber spoke softly, launching forward with a single step.

“Not good!”

A wave of deathly fear washed over him. Yan Zhen’s pupils shrank.

“True Yang Divine Guard Giant Sword!”

With a spell, the True Yang Magic Sword above him expanded to ten zhang, turning into a giant sword blocking in front of him!

At the same time, the Intelligent Stone Monkey, heavily injured in the fifth trial of the Spirit Cave, flew out from within Yan Zhen, transforming into a gray giant stone to shield him.

However, in the next moment, the black flame flashed, and the Demon Soul had already appeared behind Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen’s expression froze. His eyes filled with shock and horror!

“What exactly are…you?!”

Before he could finish, black flames burst from his waist. Yan Zhen, the gray stone, and the True Yang Giant Sword were all split into halves…

“So much for a Southern Continent genius…”

The Demon Soul grinned, looking back at the corpse. He took the Space Ring and the Star Core of the Stone Monkey.

With a thought, two Flame Dragons rushed in, devouring Yan Zhen’s Life Soul Yang Qi along with the bodies.

Amidst a dragon’s roar, flame light surged in the Locking Yang Pond, and another Erosion Sun Flame Dragon hatched from within…
