Dashing Student

In the forest, more than a dozen figures suddenly rushed out, fanning out and surrounding Mo Yan and his group.

The leader was a red-haired cultivator, carrying an exaggerated Ghost Head Saber on his shoulders.

"Ghost Blade Sun Shi, we have always kept to our own paths. What is the meaning of this?" Mo Yan's face was serious, yet he pretended to be calm as he stepped forward, asking in a deep voice.

Ghost Blade Sun Shi was somewhat famous in Ten Thousand Beasts City, a Loose Cultivator of Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, considered strong among Loose Cultivators.

Loose Cultivators find it difficult to acquire cultivation resources, so they band together for warmth. Whether in secret realms or places like the Wuyin Mountain Range, you will see Loose Cultivators banding together.

If they are to become allies, they must know each other well, otherwise no one would entrust their back to someone they don't trust.

Ghost Blade Sun Shi was somewhat famous among Loose Cultivators in Ten Thousand Beasts City, not only because of his Seventh Layer Foundation Establishment cultivation but also because he had many teammates — a total of seventeen.

Normally, even if Loose Cultivators cooperate, the number of people doesn't exceed five, as the resources need to be evenly divided, and too many people render it uneconomical.

But Sun Shi didn't care about these things and gathered a group of ill-intentioned Loose Cultivators, managing to do quite well.

Although not as vicious as Skinny Ghost, he wasn't a good person either.

Seeing Mo Yan inquire so seriously, Sun Shi mocked with laughter, "Old Mo, stop pretending with me. Who doesn't know that you have a Thunder Wing White Tiger in your possession now? That's a rare treasure."

"Let me see..." His gaze roamed over Mo Yan and his group, finally settling on Chen Nan, "This must be the young man who killed the Thunder Wing White Tiger."

"Indeed, you've already become a cripple. Otherwise, we wouldn't dare chase after you."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan knew that the matter of the Thunder Wing White Tiger could not be hidden any longer, but he was puzzled how others knew about it?

Clearly, only their own people knew...

Thinking this, Mo Yan was suddenly startled, then his face was filled with intense anger.

"Did the Tang Family Brothers tell you?"

The matter of the Thunder Wing White Tiger and Chen Nan was indeed known only to their own people, but two of those people had directly betrayed them earlier.

Sun Shi didn't hide it, chuckling, "Yes, not only us, but the entire Ten Thousand Beasts City knows. They all want to find you and seize the Thunder Wing White Tiger."

"I say, why don't you just hand over the Thunder Wing White Tiger? Given our relationship, could I really put you in a difficult spot?"

Sun Shi's words were earnest, as if he was really thinking of Mo Yan and his group.

Being fellow Loose Cultivators, they knew each other, though their acquaintance was shallow.

Mo Yan snorted coldly, "Even if the Thunder Wing White Tiger were mine, I wouldn't hand it over!"

His thoughts were simple: Chen Nan had already lost nearly half his life to kill the Thunder Wing White Tiger — how could he casually hand it over?

Unexpectedly, Chen Nan spoke up, smiling bitterly, "Brother Mo, hand over the Thunder Wing White Tiger. It's better than losing our lives."

Sun Shi laughed hearing this, "At least this brother is sensible, but we are merely Loose Cultivators and can't afford any risk."

"Although you're now a cripple, you were still a fierce fighter able to slay the Thunder Wing White Tiger. What if you recover and seek revenge on us?"

"So, to eradicate future troubles, we want the Thunder Wing White Tiger and also your life!"

As his voice fell, Chen Nan's face suddenly changed.

Initially thinking keeping the Thunder Wing White Tiger's corpse would be a source of danger, he hadn't expected these Loose Cultivators to be wary of him as a cripple.

Mo Yan also flew into a rage, directly plunging his giant sword into the ground in front of him, "If you want to harm my brother, you'll have to step over me first!"

After last time's incident, they and Chen Nan had already been through life and death together, so there was no way they would let Chen Nan go to his death.

Xu Man also came to Mo Yan's side, demonstrating her stance through her actions.

Mu Wanqing stood by Chen Nan, holding a dagger, her hands trembling slightly.

After all, she was a doctor, and had rarely fought before, belonging to the logistics personnel in the team.

"Mo Yan, I intended to spare your lives, but if you won't appreciate the favor and want to oppose us for a pretty boy, then don't blame us for being ruthless!"

The surrounding cultivators also slowly advanced, full of pressure!

"Less nonsense, I, Mo Yan, will never succumb!"

Mo Yan gritted his teeth and roared, immediately pulling out his giant sword and rushing towards Sun Shi. Sun Shi promptly swung his Ghost Head Saber to meet him.

Others charged toward Xu Man and Mu Wanqing, quickly surrounding them.

Xu Man turned back to glance deeply at Chen Nan, but she had no strength left; she could only hope they would survive this disaster.

Several cultivators approached Mu Wanqing and Chen Nan, emitting lewd laughter at the vulnerable Mu Wanqing.

"Hahaha, Mu Wanqing, what's good about such a waste? Why not follow us, we'll surely make you comfortable."

They clearly knew what Mu Wanqing was like, so they showed no restraint, not even sparing Chen Nan a glance.

Just a cripple — killing him was a trivial matter, not worth their attention.

"Don't come over!"

Even though Mu Wanqing was afraid, she still shielded Chen Nan, raising her dagger, shouting fiercely but hesitantly.

A cultivator swaggered up to Mu Wanqing, even purposely exposing his chest.

"Come, come, stab here, I promise not to dodge!"

Mu Wanqing dared not step forward, almost crying out of urgency.

Just then, Chen Nan's voice rang out behind her.

"Don't be afraid, stab forward!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators all looked at Chen Nan leaning against the tree, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, just a cripple, do you really think you're still that fierce fighter who killed the Thunder Wing White Tiger?"

"A cripple should obediently stay there — dare speak again, we'll cut out your tongue later!"

Every word of "cripple" pushed Chen Nan to the brink of eruption, but his body was already in appalling condition.

Trying to forcibly use the Heaven-Burning Flame might enable him to fight, but his body could endure no more, and using it would mean the day of his death.

Moreover, he had a significant use for his last opportunity, so he wouldn't use it without absolute necessity.

At this moment, Chen Nan fixated on Mu Wanqing, his voice becoming stern.

"Mu Wanqing, look at your companions — they are all fighting to the death. Are you going to hide behind forever?"

"Think of your blood feud, think of your companions. If you don't want to be humiliated by them, then stab!"

Mu Wanqing's body trembled violently, the enemies' smiles enlarging in her vision, like demonic sounds echoing in her mind, "No, I'm afraid!"
