Chapter 51 Complete the mission
The cold aura began to subside, and Shangguan Jiannan looked around indifferently, with no expression on his face.
The disciples of the Tianjian Sect were still in disbelief. No one could believe that Shangguan Jiannan alone had resolved all the crises for them.
Even Senior Sister Chu Qingxuan can't do that!
The faces of many disciples were filled with surprise, and their eyes fell on Shangguan Jiannan from time to time, with fiery looks in their eyes.
"This strength is stronger than Senior Sister Chu Qingxuan?"
"Huh, it's possible. He looks so relaxed."
"Strength, only strong, never weak!"
Seeing Shangguan Jiannan strolling leisurely and at ease, many disciples couldn't help but breathe heavier.
call out!
The crisp sound of a sword rang out, and Shangguan Jiannan picked up Wang Bo's sword, sheathed it, and held it behind his back.
Seeing Shangguan Jiannan approaching, Chu Qingxuan's face also changed slightly. Whether it was because the crisis was over or because of the excitement in her heart, Chu Qingxuan's face also turned slightly red.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Junior Brother Jiannan's strength has greatly improved."
The sound was like the chirping of an oriole, clear and crisp. Chu Qingxuan looked at Shangguan Jiannan's figure gradually approaching and said softly with her red lips.
Hearing this, Shangguan Jiannan shook his head helplessly: "Senior Sister Chu Qingxuan, it's just some experience, it's still a long way to go!"
In response to Shangguan Jiannan's words, everyone could only smile helplessly, knowing in their hearts that he was being modest.
"Senior Sister Qingxuan, why did Wang Bo and his men want to kill you?" Shangguan Jiannan looked at the bodies of Wang Bo and his men.
Chu Qingxuan took a deep breath, looked at Shangguan Jiannan in front of him, and said slowly:
"The story began a few months ago. The Tianjian Sect selects a Saint every year, and Liu Yiran and I are the two most promising people. The Saint not only means the highest honor of the sect, but also represents the power of the sect in the future."
Shangguan Jiannan nodded to show his understanding.
Chu Qingxuan continued, "The competition between Liu Yiran and I is very fierce. She has many tricks, but I have always focused on cultivation and don't like power struggles. Because of this, most of my supporters are ordinary disciples, while she has the support of some elders and high-level officials."
"In order to ensure her victory, Liu Yi still did whatever it took. She began to slander me behind my back and spread rumors, but these did not shake my determination. She knew that she could not defeat me with these means alone, so she decided to take a risk and attack me directly."
Shangguan Jiannan frowned: "So she bribed Wang Bo and set this trap?"
Chu Qingxuan nodded: "That's right. Although Wang Bo is an inner disciple, he is ambitious and has long been bribed by Liu Yiran. This time I came to the Warcraft Forest to carry out a mission, but I didn't expect that Wang Bo and others had already come here to wait for me."
"Wang Bo and his gang were ready to kill me while we were fighting the monster. Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise I would have died here."
Shangguan Jiannan clenched his fists and said angrily: "Liu Yiran is so cruel in order to seize the position of Saint! I wonder what Senior Sister is planning?"
Chu Qingxuan said firmly, "I'm not afraid of her. But there's no other way. I can only be careful everywhere, concentrate on my training, and defeat her in the sect competition."
Shangguan Jiannan nodded in agreement: "In that case, let's go all out."
"Senior Sister, Wang Bo and his men brought the fourth-level monster, the Flame Blood Tiger, to harm me. Senior Brother Lu and Senior Sister Liu were both killed by the Flame Blood Tiger in order to save me. These people really deserved to die." Looking at the five people on the ground, Shangguan Jiannan said to Chu Qingxuan.
At this time, Shangguan Jiannan had recovered slightly, and his previous exhausted look was gone.
But when Shangguan Jiannan's gaze turned and swept over Wang Bo's body lying on the ground in the distance, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"You've hurt the three of us so badly before. Please charge me some interest for the sake of our fellow disciples!" Shangguan Jiannan muttered to himself, and at this moment he slowly raised his feet and walked towards Wang Bo, who was closest to him.
As he approached, Shangguan Jiannan kept groping at the dead Wang Bo's body, but was soon disappointed.
Most warriors who entered the Monster Forest of Broken Cloud Mountains would not bring too many things, except for weapons and dry food. After a search, only ten spirit stones were found on Wang Bo's body, and the two long swords that fell not far from him.
Shangguan Jiannan decided to go all out and searched the other four people inside and out. The total of the five people was a considerable harvest.
The spiritual stones Shangguan Jiannan found added up to more than eighty pieces, and he also found a spiritual medicine in a box on one of the men, which Shangguan Jiannan took without hesitation.
After gathering the scattered things together and throwing them into the Netherworld Jade Pendant, Shangguan Jiannan let out a long sigh of relief.
"Junior brother, have you completed your mission? Do you need help from me?" Chu Qingxuan asked, thinking that Junior Brother Jiannan had also accepted a mission from the sect.
"Sister, my mission is to hunt down the magic core of the third-level demon beast Shadow Rhino. Wang Bo and the others have interfered with it and it has not been completed yet. Sister, please go back to the sect first. I will go back after I finish it."
Chu Qingxuan nodded: "In that case, then you should go and complete your mission first. Shadow rhinos have thick skin and flesh, so you must be careful. Come back immediately after completing the mission."
Shangguan Jiannan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will be careful." After that, he turned and left, heading deep into the Warcraft Forest.
In the dark forest of monsters, surrounded by dense vegetation, the surroundings were eerily quiet. With his keen perception, he soon found a huge shadow rhino next to a water source. The monster was pitch black, with cold red eyes, and was drinking water.
Shangguan Jiannan drew out his sword, stroked the blade with his fingers, and mobilized the inner energy. He bent slightly, ready to attack the Shadow Rhino when it let down its guard.
At the moment when the shadow rhino lowered its head, Shangguan Jiannan suddenly exerted force, tapped the ground with his toes, and shot out like an arrow, with the tip of his sword pointing directly at the neck of the monster, attacking the rhino's vitals with lightning speed.
The shadow rhino reacted very quickly, suddenly raised its head, twisted its body, and swept out its huge horn. This move, "Black Shadow Horn Edge", contained great power and amazing speed, and it forced Shangguan Jiannan's sword away.
Shangguan Jiannan's eyes were stern, and his figure flashed like a ghost, changing positions continuously, performing "shadow steps" to avoid the attacks of the shadow rhino. His sword skills were continuous like flowing water, one move after another, trying to find the flaws of the shadow rhino.
The Shadow Rhino roared, its muscles bulged, and suddenly a burst of black light burst out. This was its innate skill "Shadow Burst", which created a strong shock wave within a certain range to disrupt the enemy's offensive.
Shangguan Jiannan was knocked back several steps by the shock wave, but he did not give up. He used the "Heavenly Sword Body Protection" to condense his true energy into a shield, resisting most of the impact. He took a deep breath, steadied his body, and rushed towards the Shadow Rhino again.
The fierce battle lasted for a long time, and Shangguan Jiannan gradually figured out the attack pattern of the Shadow Rhino. When the Shadow Rhino launched the "Black Shadow Horn Front" again, he avoided the frontal attack, quickly went around the side of the monster, and performed the ultimate move of the "Tianxuan Sword Technique" - "Flying Fairy from the Sky".
This move concentrated all the energy in the body, and the sword light was like a rainbow, instantly cutting through the sky and hitting the side of the shadow rhino. The shadow rhino let out a scream, and its huge body fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.
Shangguan Jiannan stood beside the corpse of the Shadow Rhino, panting, with the sword in his hand dripping with blood. He took out the glowing magic core from the monster's body and carefully put it away.
