Free Web NovelChapter 296: Chapter 294: Celestial Eye Technique
On the verge of death, Meng Xing suddenly threw out a small marble.
The marble shot swiftly into the sky.
By the time Jiang Chen and the others reacted, it was already too late.
"POP!"
The marble immediately exploded in mid-air.
It transformed into a streak of blood-red light, hanging in the sky.
At that moment, Jiang Chen was stunned.
Zhan Yang and the others, however, immediately cried out in alarm.
"Oh no! That’s a Signal Flare from the Blood Light Mercenary Corps."
"The people from the Blood Light Mercenary Corps are nearby!"
As a Mercenary Team, they were naturally familiar with most other mercenary groups.
They also recognized the Signal Flare of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps. This kind of flare was generally used to call for help or to signal teammates in times of danger.
Now, Meng Xing had suddenly used a Signal Flare.
This made Zhan Yang and the others realize that the members of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps were right here in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Their expressions instantly turned grim.
They looked at Jiang Chen, and then at Meng Xing on the ground, who was now powerless to resist.
"Jiang Chen, we can’t kill this man."
"The Blood Light Mercenary Corps is nearby. If we kill him, we’ll definitely face their retaliation."
This was indeed a problem that gave them serious pause.
The strength of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps was simply too great.
It far surpassed what their Warring States Mercenary Corps could compare to.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly as he heard what Zhan Yang and the others were saying.
Although he didn’t know the full extent of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps’s strength, the fact that two of their members were Martial Artist experts spoke volumes.
"Let me go! Our people are indeed nearby, and the entire corps was mobilized this time."
"If you kill me, they’ll find you quickly. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, our people will hunt you down."
Desperate to live, Meng Xing had thrown caution to the wind. Now that he had signaled his team, his people would soon come to his rescue.
His only worry was Jiang Chen; he could never figure this kid out.
As for Zhan Yang and the others, they clearly knew something about his Blood Light Mercenary Corps.
Therefore, Meng Xing kept his eyes fixed on Jiang Chen and the gaping, bloody maw of the Celestial Brown Ridge Python before him.
"Too bad. Not even the gods can save you now."
Jiang Chen’s words came out abruptly.
Zhan Yang and the others were all stunned, unable to process it for a moment.
Even Meng Xing had started to think he might live.
But Jiang Chen’s words sent a chill down his spine.
Then, at Jiang Chen’s signal...
"HISSSS..."
The Celestial Brown Ridge Python lunged forward and swallowed Meng Xing in one gulp.
"No—!"
Meng Xing let out a final, unwilling scream.
In the blink of an eye, he was silenced completely.
Meng Xing’s body was gone. Only the Celestial Brown Ridge Python remained, its throat bulging slightly, having clearly enjoyed a meal.
Its scarlet tongue flickered in and out.
Zhan Yang, JinLing, and the others stared at each other in disbelief.
They couldn’t believe Jiang Chen had acted so decisively, without a hint of hesitation.
Watching the Celestial Brown Ridge Python swallow Meng Xing, Zhan Yang said to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, we should run for our lives now."
"The people from the Blood Light Mercenary Corps will be here to hunt us down any minute."
Now that things had come to this, Zhan Yang understood the gravity of the situation.
He was afraid it might already be too late to escape.
In the most dangerous core region of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Here, the Demon Beasts all had Cultivation levels of at least Martial Artist, and even Martial King-level Demon Beasts appeared from time to time.
The danger went without saying.
Within a mountain range, a group of more than ten people stood.
Just then, one of them suddenly pointed at the sky and said, "Look! A Signal Flare."
"That’s our Blood Light Mercenary Corps’s Signal Flare!"
Someone else shouted, "It must be the Meng Family Brothers! The two of them went off alone to pick the Moyang Flower. They must have run into trouble."
Everyone simultaneously turned to look at a large, one-eyed man.
They all began to speak at once.
"Boss, the Meng Family Brothers are in trouble."
"They’re probably in danger. That’s a distress signal."
The one-eyed man was the leader of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps, One-Eyed Wolf. His cultivation was at the Martial Master Peak of Nine Heavens, and he was a man of fearsome reputation. His expression instantly darkened.
He gazed in the direction the Signal Flare had come from.
He said icily, "Let me see what’s going on."
With that, he suddenly tapped his single eye.
At the same time, he whispered, "Celestial Eye Technique, activate."
"SWOOSH!"
As One-Eyed Wolf finished speaking, a ray of colorful light shot out from his single eye.
The next moment, an image of a mountain forest appeared before One-Eyed Wolf’s eyes.
And within the forest, a canyon. frёewebnoѵēl.com
In that canyon, he saw Meng Xing of their Blood Light Mercenary Corps lying on the ground, surrounded by five people.
But what caught One-Eyed Wolf’s attention was the massive Celestial Brown Ridge Python.
At that moment, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python was staring menacingly at Meng Xing.
"Damn it, Meng Xing is in trouble."
"Quick, take some men and rescue him!"
One-Eyed Wolf’s Celestial Eye Technique was incredible, allowing him to see things from more than ten li away.
His Celestial Eye Technique was now displaying its miraculous power.
But just as the words left his mouth, he watched as the Celestial Brown Ridge Python suddenly lowered its head, opened its gaping maw, and swallowed Meng Xing whole.
"Bastard! You goddamn bastards!"
Seeing this, One-Eyed Wolf exploded in a fit of rage.
He had just watched with his own eye as a member of his Blood Light Mercenary Corps was swallowed alive by a Celestial Brown Ridge Python.
The sight sent One-Eyed Wolf into a fury.
"Boss, what’s wrong?"
His team members asked one after another.
One-Eyed Wolf said furiously, "Meng Xing was just swallowed alive by their Celestial Brown Ridge Python!"
What?
Hearing this, every member of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps erupted in fury, their killing intent flaring.
"Boss, who are the bastards that did this?"
"They dare kill someone from our Blood Light Mercenary Corps? They must have a death wish!"
One-Eyed Wolf immediately focused his vision on the five people there.
He saw all five of their faces clearly.
But he kept searching for Meng Kun, his brow furrowing deeper.
’Meng Xing is dead, but I don’t see his brother, Meng Kun.’
’I’m afraid his chances aren’t good either.’
Then he said to his team members, "Who will go and eliminate them?"
"The strongest among them is that Celestial Brown Ridge Python. Its Cultivation is at the Martial Master Third Heaven."
The members of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps were already hopping mad.
"Boss, I’ll go kill them."
"Let me do it! The bastards! How dare they touch our people? Even if they flee to the ends of the earth, they won’t escape death!"
Many of them were seething with anger, each wanting to be the one to go and kill Jiang Chen’s group.
Just then, a figure stepped out from the crowd.
"Boss, let me go eliminate them."
"I’ll avenge the Meng Family Brothers."
Everyone looked and saw it was a woman named Yuan Xi.
She was usually on good terms with the Meng Family Brothers.
Yuan Xi’s Cultivation was at the Sixth Level of Martial Master. While she wasn’t the strongest in the Blood Light Mercenary Corps, she was still an outstanding expert.
One-Eyed Wolf glanced at Yuan Xi and nodded.
"Fine. I’ll leave it to you."
Yuan Xi immediately set off, heading straight for the place where the Meng Family Brothers had met their demise.
In just a few leaps, her figure vanished into the woods like a sprite.
"With Yuan Xi on the move, those bastards are as good as dead."
"They dared to challenge the might of our Blood Light Mercenary Corps. They’re really courting death."
