Chapter 141
Chapter 141
Vivian had a rash instinct to give up everything in his hands, turn around and run away.
The middle-aged man in front of him was not only strong, but he also had an apparent murderous intent.
‘It’s a cultivator!’ Vivian took a deep breath in to calm himself down.
Then, he quickly made a judgment.
In this competition, a sudden non-participating cultivator appeared and blocked his path.
Hence, it was apparent that this person was targeting Boneng.
‘Who can it be?’ Vivian racked his brain as he slowly walked forward and looked at the middle-aged man.
On the side of the stream next to the man, about five dead monsters piled up.
These monsters were all disemboweled and died a miserable death.
Vivian thought, ‘So that’s why I didn’t meet any monsters on my journey.
He killed them all and placed the bodies here.’ Then, Vivian swept his gaze at the other side of the middle-aged man, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.
Vivian’s pupils were abruptly constricted.
An unconscious young man laid beside the middle-aged man.
It was an average-looking guy dressed in normal clothes, and he appeared highly inconspicuous.
Those who saw him would think he was just a participant from a small clan.
However, before the competition began, Vivian met this young man once in the big hall where all the participating warriors gathered.
Through the guy’s familiar gaze, Vivian knew that he was Steven sneaking into the game!
Vivian did not have the chance to ask Steven what made her join the fun yet, but unexpectedly, he bumped into her here! It was obvious that the middle-aged man caught Steven.
Nonetheless, Vivian was somewhat relieved when he noticed that Steven passed out, and there was no injury on her.
If that was the case, Vivian was also unclear who the middle-aged man was targeting.
Since he already caught Steven, was he still going to attack Vivian? Or perhaps Vivian accidentally ran into this scene?
Just as Vivian was still puzzled over the matter, the middle-aged man stopped sharpening his blade and looked at Boneng.
When Vivian saw the man’s appearance, he could not help but blurt out, ‘Zenith Gibson!’
Surprisingly, this man had an 80% similarity in his appearance with Zenith, who Vivian saw just now.
Nevertheless, Vivian quickly realized that it was not him.
“That’s not right! You’re not Zenith!”
In contrast, this man appeared much haggard than Zenith, and there was also a touch of fierceness between his brows that Zenith did not have.
More importantly, the Zenith Vivian saw was immaculately dressed and had a solemn appearance.
Hence, he would surely still be sitting on the high platform and not appearing here.
Since the man was not Zenith, but he appeared similar to him and identity was naturally evident.
At the same time, Vivian also had a rough idea why the Veystone Town’s Zenith would visit Evergreen Town.
When the middle-aged man heard Boneng, his reaction was even bigger.
“You’ve seen Zenith? Where is he?!” Zephyr frowned, and the murderous light glimmering in his eyes was like sharp blades, causing others to avoid his gaze.
Without waiting for Vivian’s reply, Zephyr mumbled to himself, “That’s right.
That brat must’ve left some tracks.
Hmph! I was already so careful, yet there were still loopholes.”
As he said that, Zephyr stood.
Then, Vivian only realized that Zephyr’s figure was much taller than he imagined.
Although he was skinny, Zephyr’s bone structure was massive.
Looking at him now, Zephyr appeared just like a killing machine.
“You must be Violet Montgomery! I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time!” Zephyr pointed at the pile of dead monsters with his blade, “For the sake of making sure you arrive here unimpeded, I’ve helped you clear off some obstacles.”
Vivian snorted, “I’m thankful for that.”
Since Vivian experienced being chased after by Sean, he believed that if he turned around and escaped immediately, he would not be caught by Zephyr for the time being.
However, that would waste much time, and it was equal to him voluntarily giving up on the Dark Moon Sect’s spot.
Furthermore, it also meant that he did not care about Steven’s life. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Even though Vivian and Steven had not formally met yet, Steven helped him in St.
Jade Chamber, and she even blocked Kevin’s attack against him during the Lawrence family’s trials.
Hence, Vivian could not just abandon her.
And what more important was, if he fled now, there would be a high chance that he would never find out who was targeting him.
After all, Vivian doubted that he would become an enemy with the Gibson family from the faraway Veystone Town.
Thus, Vivian was sure that someone must be ordering Zephyr, and if he did not get rid of that person, Vivian’s life would constantly be in danger.
Vivian would never let such a thing happen.
Suddenly, Zephyr said, “Someone wants to meet you.
You either follow me obediently, or you’ll also suffer some injuries before joining me.”
Seeing how Vivian was holding tightly onto his Blazing Spear, Zephyr showed a mocking smile.”You’re just a True Martial Realm warrior, and you’re not my opponent at all.
You should listen to me.”
“If I follow you, can you let her go?” Vivian raised his chin and pointed at the unconscious Steven.
“I didn’t expect you to be a romantic,” Zephyr scoffed, “But, that can’t be done.”
“Then, tell me.
Who asked you to capture us?” Vivian stared at him.
Once he was sure that Steven was also the target, Vivian had a faint idea of the main culprit.
The next second, Zephyr roared, “You’ll know if you just follow rue.” Then, with just a step, it appeared as if he shortened the ten-meter distance between them.
He then appeared in front of Boneng, slashing the longsword.
Vivian never felt such a terrifying oppressive force before.
He instantly felt as if his life was hanging by a thread and there was a massive boulder on top of his head, crushing at him.
Vivian only managed to raise his Blazing Spear to block, but he immediately flew out.
Then, with a loud bang, Vivian slammed into a large tree not far from him.
Broken wood pieces flew around, the bark cracked, and sawdust filled the air.
Vivian fell into a patch of sawdust.
After struggling for a while, he quickly fainted.
Zephyr snorted.
“Such a useless being that overestimated his strength!”
As he said that, Zephyr walked forward and quickly carried Vivian on his shoulder.
With the same method, he put Steven on his other shoulder.
Then, he strode toward the depths of the forest.
However, Zephyr, who was focused entirely on the road ahead, did not notice that the supposedly unconscious Vivian slightly narrowed his eyes.
In his squinted eyes, lights glimmered.
Vivian thought, ‘Old b*stard, why did you hit me so hard? You’re digging your own grave!’
