Once everyone was killed, Chu Ning finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, his gaze towards Xu Runsheng was sowhat complex.
He saw the other party’s entire body quickly shrivel up.
Strangely, a fork was stuck in Xu Runsheng’s throat, yet not much blood flowed out.
"This Blood Evil Pill must consu a large amount of Essence Blood. Last ti, Duan Yanwu’s fireball burned too quickly, so he didn’t notice it."
As Chu Ning muttered to himself, in the distance, Tan Zhang and Lin Lan had already walked over.
Judging by Tan Zhang’s pale complexion, it was clear that taking Xu Runsheng’s last strike hadn’t been easy.
As for Lin Lan, her pretty face was sowhat pale as well.
But it seed more like she had been frightened rather than injured.
Probably because Xu Runsheng didn’t see her as a main target due to her low cultivation.
Moreover, being from the Spirit Talisman Pavilion and having received rewards at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, she might have so life-saving ans.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Li..."
Tan Zhang approached Chu Ning, initially wanting to call Chu Ning, who was at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, "Junior Brother."
But when he thought about how all six of them were killed by Chu Ning, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
"If it weren’t for your warning and later assistance, my Junior Sister Lin and I might have..."
"Senior Brother Tan, you’re too kind. Just call Junior Brother," Chu Ning gently shook his head.
"I was just lucky to be mistaken as a comrade by them when I arrived. If you had arrived any later, my identity might have been exposed.
There wouldn’t have been a chance to kill these mbers of the Yin Demon Sect otherwise."
Chu Ning spoke with a mix of truth and falsehood, but it must be said that Tan Zhang’s appearance indeed gave him an opportunity.
If Xu Runsheng and Yu Jiehui had been alert when they first appeared.
If I hadn’t been able to kill them directly when the fight started, facing them after they consud the Blood Evil Pill would have been troubleso.
Earlier, with consecutive sneak attacks and Tan Zhang slightly holding them off, Chu Ning managed to succeed.
Tan Zhang nodded slightly, then looked at Chu Ning in astonishnt.
"Senior Brother Li’s combat techniques and experience are indeed rich, and you have so many talismans and artifacts. Your talismans..."
Chu Ning, hearing Tan Zhang refer to the earlier combat, quickly waved his hand.
"It’s just that I accumulated so Spirit Stones while at the Foreign Affairs Hall and bought a few life-saving items.
But it’s troubleso going forward. Since the Yin Demon Sect planted people to infiltrate, it definitely won’t be just these few."
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Tan Zhang’s attention was indeed diverted.
He imdiately spoke, "That’s right. Disciples from the Yin Demon Sect have infiltrated. We should quickly alert the others to avoid others being deceived."
Chu Ning listened but shook his head.
What Tan Zhang said wasn’t feasible at all.
Because currently, no one knew how to identify who was from the Yin Demon Sect. If he hadn’t seen Lu Yunfang today, Chu Ning wouldn’t have thought of this.
Moreover, now that everyone is scattered, there’s no way to notify everyone.
Chu Ning casually shared his concerns, and Tan Zhang’s expression turned serious and sowhat troubled.
Chu Ning, uninterested in this issue, began picking up the storage bags and magical artifacts from the bodies.
As Chu Ning collected these items, Tan Zhang and Lin Lan just watched.
Neither of them found it inappropriate since Chu Ning had killed them all.
Without Chu Ning’s intervention, the two of them surely wouldn’t have escaped disaster.
Only when Chu Ning finished picking up from each corpse and then burned them clean with the Fireball Technique did Tan Zhang step forward and say:
"Junior Brother Chu, let’s travel together next, it’ll be safer."
Hearing Tan Zhang’s words, Lin Lan also looked at Chu Ning expectantly.
They hadn’t clearly seen how Chu Ning defeated those people during their magical combat with Xu Runsheng.
However, Chu Ning’s demonstration of strength by killing so many provided them significant peace of mind.
Chu Ning listened and then shook his head.
"We should each go our own way. I’m used to traveling alone and not accustod to having companions."
Chu Ning was now using an Illusion Technique but couldn’t keep using it, and once he reached the array formation site, he’d have to show his true face.
Besides, Chu Ning had many secrets, and staying together for too long would easily expose them.
Therefore, staying with Tan Zhang and the others wasn’t convenient.
In fact, during the fight, Chu Ning had already exposed several techniques.
Fortunately, when he first used the Divine Wood Longbow, Tan Zhang and the others were still engaged with Xu Runsheng, so they didn’t notice.
And later, fighting together with others, Chu Ning primarily used talismans, thus not revealing his identity.
He didn’t use the Earth Spirit Bracelet.
Though Tan Zhang might have seen the Blazing Fla Bracelet and Celestial Spirit Fist, those were life-saving asures that Chu Ning wouldn’t readily use.
When it cos to using them, exposure isn’t a big deal.
After speaking to them, Chu Ning simply left.
Tan Zhang, unwilling to give up, chased after him a few steps, saying:
"Let’s go together. If we encounter any danger, we can support each other."
Chu Ning’s expression turned sowhat indifferent, and he said:
"No need. I don’t want to be held back by you."
Saying this, Chu Ning glanced at Lin Lan.
