“Guys, are you sure this plan will work?”

“Of course, it has to work whether it’s viable or not. That fatso surely has quite a few Frenzy Demon Stones on him. I don’t know how he got them, but who wouldn’t be tempted by such wealth?”

“Exactly, he’s alone. Does he really think he can control us with that so-called threat?”

“We’ve already set a trap for him here. With all of us working together, can he really survive?”

“Once we kill that fatso, we can divide up all the Frenzy Demon Stones.”

A dozen or so people were scattered and hidden amongst the shrubs in a dense forest valley, whispering about something.

As the discussion came to an end, the dense forest quieted down again.

It was clear that these people were here for an ambush.

Not far from here, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan were slowly walking past.

“Boss, do you really think they’ll team up to kill me?” AnRan suddenly felt a bit scared.

Throughout their journey, Jiang Xiaobai had been analyzing the situation and concluded that those people would surely covet the Frenzy Demon Stones that AnRan possessed.

They would definitely make their move.

“They’ll definitely try to kill you. You’re not very advanced in your cultivation, and although you’re very strong, if they all attack you together, you’re doomed.”

Jiang Xiaobai soberly said, “You’re good at business, but you’re too green when it comes to dealing with things like this. You could easily make yourself seem more mysterious.”

“Strategically provoke a suitable opponent, kill him on the spot as a warning to others. That way, the others will think twice about messing with you.”

AnRan nodded continuously, realizing his shortcomings.

As they were walking, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly stopped.

Looking ahead, he had a bad feeling. He turned and asked AnRan, “Is this the meeting spot you agreed on?”

“Hmm, it’s right over there, in that dense forest valley. The environment is good, and I think I can escape smoothly if there’s any danger,” AnRan said quickly.

“You’re an idiot. You thought about your escape route, but didn’t consider the possibility that they could also be hiding in such an environment?”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, “Fine, you wait here, I’ll go check the situation.”

With that, Jiang Xiaobai initiated ‘Divine Concealment’ and started underground sneak.

These two techniques were perfect together, advantageous for all situations.

Soon, Jiang Xiaobai arrived at the rendezvous point undercover and could see everything clearly from beneath the ground.

A total of fourteen people were hiding, all in the Transcendence mid-stage.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but worry for AnRan.

If AnRan had come alone today, he would be greeted with terrible news rather than any celebration.

“Stupid fatty, you’re too flamboyant!”

Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself silently and quickly returned to AnRan’s side to tell him about the ambush.

AnRan was caught in a moment of fear. Luckily, Jiang Xiaobai had followed him out of concern, otherwise, it would’ve been a disaster.

With so many people attacking him all at once, even AnRan’s survival skills would not help.

“Boss, what should we do now? Should we continue?” AnRan asked cautiously.

“Why not?”

Jiang Xiaobai sneered, “Whether or not we can eliminate a threat once and for all depends on today.”

“If these men were unprepared, it would be dangerous for the two of us to deal with them. But since we know where they’re hiding, what’s there to fear?”

“Let’s do it. If we don’t kill a few to scare the others, do they think we are Hello Kitty?”

AnRan looked puzzled: “What’s Hello Kitty, is this some kind of spiritual beast? Why haven’t I heard of it?”

Slap!

Jiang Xiaobai slapped him on the head.

“Shut up!”

“Keep your mouth shut. I’m going to count, and if you don’t kill them when I say, I’ll sort you out!”

“Huh?” AnRan held his head, but Jiang Xiaobai hit him again.

“What ‘huh’? There are fourteen people there, you hear me? If you don’t kill five of them, you’ll see how I train you!”

Jiang Xiaobai gave the orders. Five people were not too many but that would push AnRan to his limit.

If Jiang Xiaobai had to settle the trouble every time, AnRan would be nothing more than an errand boy and would gain no experience.

Without further delay, they pretended to know nothing and carried on.

They soon arrived at the dense forest. The surroundings were very quiet. But Jiang Xiaobai knew if they proceeded a little more, they would enter their ambush circle, which would be unfavorable for both of them.

Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan exchanged a look, prepared themselves, and started moving forward. Jiang Xiaobai had already locked onto several hidden locations.

AnRan did the same; being alert, he was ready to launch an attack at any time.

Eventually, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly halted and yelled.

“Fatty, make a move!”

The two of them struck immediately. A few swords appeared out of nowhere from Jiang Xiaobai, directly killing several unsuspecting men who were too slow to defend.

On the other hand, AnRan with his thick black stick, smacked it down on the nearest hidden person!

Bang!

The sound of a head being smashed open was heard, followed by screams.

The battle had started, and the men hiding around were stunned.

Wait, it was supposed to be them attacking AnRan, how did the situation reverse and they have already lost three or four people before they even moved?

“Damn it, they’ve found us, attack!”

“Hmph, so what if you’ve found us? It’s as easy to kill the two of you as it is to squish ants.”

“Bring it on, take this!”

Then the chaos began.

Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan had successfully ambushed and killed four people in the beginning, but there were still ten left. With ten hands against two, the odds were against them.

Only a freak like Jiang Xiaobai could handle this easily, but it was a tough fight for AnRan.

Luckily, Jiang Xiaobai was quick in eliminating foes.

With a superior sword in his hand, he was like a killing god, and no one could resist his sword without getting injured.

After all, Jiang Xiaobai had reached this level when he was in the final stage of Yuan Infant.

Over the course of a few minutes, only three people were left on the battlefield.
