Chapter 325: Oriole Appears

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The sense of danger was extremely strong, as if a cold poisonous snake was pressed against his back.

Wang Xiao did not even have the time to think before he instinctively leaped forward towards the people on the ground. Almost at the same time, he felt a strong wind blow past his back, instantly causing a burning pain!

“Be careful!”

Wang Xiao shouted and stood up. At the same time, he summoned the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] and the [Silver Shadow Leopard]. After making preparations, he focused his gaze and was stunned on the spot!

At the edge of the cliff, a figure had appeared at some point. He was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat. He held a sharp sword in his hand.

However, hadn’t he already been devoured by Lang Lina’s soldiers? Why was he here?

Before Wang Xiao could figure out what was going on, there was another rustling sound of footsteps on the snow. Turk walked out from behind the [Undead Swordsman] with his arms crossed.

“Wang Xiao, long time no see.”

There was a faint smile on Turk’s face. Then, his gaze turned to Qi Lianjun.

“Adjutant Qi, I really didn’t expect Commander Chen to let you lead the team.”

Qi Lianjun remained silent with a sullen expression. He had already recognized the person before him as the Purple Star lord who had once infiltrated the military building.

“Didn’t you say that he had already died in the internal strife?”

Qi Lianjun came to Wang Xiao’s side and asked softly. Although his tone was only filled with doubt, it made Wang Xiao feel extremely uncomfortable.

Before this, he indeed suspected that the attack power of the scarlet insect fog was not strong. Since Turk was the deputy captain, how could he be devoured until nothing was left?

However, later on, the Lang brothers fell into danger and were even in despair several times. However, Turk never helped them, so Wang Xiao slowly forgot this doubt. In the end…

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Wang Xiao simply ignored Qi Lianjun and looked directly at Turk and asked coldly, “What exactly did you do? Why did you suddenly disappear previously?”

“It’s very simple. I only returned to the teleportation door when I was enveloped by the insect fog.”

Turk pointed at the wreckage of the [Artificial Teleportation Gate] not far away and suddenly looked relieved. “However, I really didn’t expect you to destroy the teleportation gate. Fortunately, I was bold and fast. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have been able to enter.”

Wang Xiao was furious again when he heard this. Only then did he remember that when Lang Lina released the scarlet insect fog, it had indeed swallowed the [Artificial Teleportation Portal].

As long as he entered the teleportation door, he could avoid the insect fog. He actually did not think of such a simple thing!

Just as Wang Xiao was secretly blaming himself, Qi Lianjun asked again, ‘What is your goal?”

“So you still don’t know?”

Turk revealed a surprised expression and then pointed at Wang Xiao beside him. He smiled and said in a provocative tone, “This young man is very powerful. He almost knows everything about us—didn’t he tell you?” Qi Lianjun glanced at Wang Xiao before casting his gaze at Turk. “I’m asking you now.”

As he spoke, a faint pressure spread out. This pressure had nothing to do with his strength. It was more like an aura that came with Qi Lianjun.

The smile on Turk’s face faded a little. “You’re clearly at the end of your rope, but you still have such a powerful aura… As expected of Adjutant Qi.” Qi Lianjun looked at Turk expressionlessly. “Answer my question.”

“Alright, I’ll answer now.”

Turk raised his hand in surrender, but there was a teasing smile on his face. “Our original mission was very simple. We had to find Wang Xiao, kill him, and take back the holy beast. However, after he killed Brewer, I had to bring him back to be judged.”

“Brewer is the Purple Star lord who impersonated Wu Yan.”

Wang Xiao, who had returned to his senses, explained in a low voice. Then, he looked at Turk and said, “I’m afraid that’s not all, right?”

Turk’s eyebrows shot up. “How so?”

“If your target is a holy beast, why did you wait until the academy ranking assessment to attack?”

The expression on Turk’s face suddenly disappeared. He silently stared at

Wang Xiao for a long time before suddenly revealing a bitter smile at Qi Lianjun. “See, I told you this young man was very smart—Commander Chen has a successor!”

“Commander Chen is in his prime and won’t consider a successor for the time being. ”

Qi Lianjun replied coldly without any expression, “I’ll give you one last chance. What mission do you have?”

Just as Turk opened his mouth, Qi Lianjun added coldly, “If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll kill you now.”

“Tsk… Deputy Qi is quite angry!”

Turk chuckled and waved his hand helplessly. “Forget it. You’ll all die here anyway. There’s no harm in telling you. My secret mission is—”

At this point, Turke suddenly pretended to be mysterious and stopped. Wang Xiao and Qi Lianjun subconsciously pricked up their ears and listened carefully. At this moment, the [Undead Swordsman] suddenly slashed out!

The sharp blade tore through the air with a clang. Wang Xiao and Qi Lianjun only felt their eyes light up as a dazzling arc instantly flashed in front of them!

A strong sense of danger surged in their hearts, but the two of them could not react in time.

At the critical moment, the [Silver Shadow Leopard] turned into a stream of light and rushed over. It waved its claws and slashed out an attack that collided with the arc of light!

Clang!

The two attacks collided with a crisp sound, and the [Wind Splitting Claw] was instantly slashed into two by the sword!

However, this collision also reduced the momentum of the sword slash by a lot. The [Silver Shadow Leopard] roared and jumped up to meet the sword slash. As its body turned into fragmented light and was recalled back to its territory, the bright arc of light also dissipated.

At the same time, Wang Xiao and Qi Lianjun also reacted.

Without any time to think, Wang Xiao immediately ordered the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] to attack. At the same time, Qi Lianjun summoned the [Elf Warrior] to raise its shield to protect them.

The battle was about to begin!

After a series of bitter battles, the body of the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] was already a little overwhelmed. Wang Xiao knew very well that delaying was not beneficial to his side, so he immediately ordered the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] to activate a fatal skill!

Claw marks that were surrounded by lightning swept out. At the same time, the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] jumped into the air and attacked Turk with another [Berserk Thunder]!

If they attacked the soldier and the lord at the same time, regardless of whether the soldier chose to protect themselves or their master, one would be affected.

This was Wang Xiao’s experience from actual combat. Unfortunately, in front of the absolute difference in strength, all his schemes were useless…

Clang!

A long sword was unsheathed, and a cold light shot out.

The two [Berserk Thunder] moves were instantly shattered into starlight that filled the sky.. Even the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] was struck down from the sky

by this sword!
