Clang! Clang! Clang…

Metallic clanging sounds rang out as Skeleton soldiers giving off demonic qi and rotten auras appeared in front of Zhao Fu.

These were most likely originally Demon Race soldiers, and they were not very strong. Each of them had roughly Stage 5 or 6 strength and there were not many of them. They had most likely been cleared by the previous group, making things much easier for Zhao Fu.

Facing these Skeleton soldiers, Zhao Fu continuously slashed out with his sword, sending out terrifying blood-red sword lights as he advanced as if he was cutting grass.

In front of Zhao Fu’s power, the Skeleton soldiers were unable to retaliate at all. Each strike reduced many Skeletons to bones which fell on the ground.

The group behind Zhao Fu was incredibly shocked as they watched the Skeleton soldiers easily being killed by Zhao Fu. At the same time, they found that there was most likely another group ahead, as there were already many destroyed Skeletons in front of Zhao Fu.

“Let’s go,” the valiant-looking young man said and everyone prepared to go up when something unexpected happened.

A magic formation was suddenly activated, causing the deathly aura in the surroundings to madly gather. The Skeleton soldiers that had been killed were all revived and they gave off a ferocious aura as they flooded towards the group.

The group hurriedly unleashed a defensive barrier. Looking at the countless Skeletons surrounding them, they looked somewhat terrified.

“You’re shameless! You’re actually using such a method to harm us,” the valiant-looking young man angrily yelled at Zhao Fu, thinking that Zhao Fu had done this.

Zhao Fu turned and condescendingly laughed as he said, “It was your fault for being careless. I didn’t make that trap; it was set up by the previous group. Who told you to be careless and try to take advantage of me?”

The trap indeed was not made by Zhao Fu and was most likely set up by the previous group. They had sensed that more people had entered after them so they had set a trap like this.

This trap was naturally quite ferocious and the countless Skeletons quickly destroyed the seven people’s defensive barrier. The seven of them had no mind to pay to Zhao Fu and furiously fought with the Skeletons.

The valiant-looking young man swung his saber, sending out sabre lights that cut countless Skeletons in half. The gloomy-looking young man took out a bone flute and launched soundwave attacks. The muscular young man swung a large staff that shattered Skeletons to smithereens, and the young boy used a mirror to shoot out cold lights that destroyed the Skeletons.

The three women also unleashed different attacks. The seductive woman and the big sister-like woman used long swords and sent out sword lights. The domineering young girl used a whip that whipped out with immense force, easily shattering the Skeletons’ heads.

However, there were simply too many Skeletons. The seven of them could not resist them all, and they started to be injured.

The seductive woman was bitten in the arm by a Skeleton and blood flowed out. She sent power into her arm and vigorously swung, shattering the Skeleton that had bitten her.

The others were already injured and it was likely that the seven of them would die here. The only way they could survive was if that person destroyed the magic formation.

However, there was already enmity between them, so how could he help them? The seductive woman did not want to die here and shouted out, “Sir, if you’re willing to destroy the magic formation, I’m willing to be your woman and serve you for the rest of my life.”

Zhao Fu looked at the woman with interest and found that she was incredibly bewitching, and he lightly laughed as he said, “I can save you, but if I destroy this trap, I’ll have saved all seven of you and it won’t be worth it for me.”

The domineering young girl looked quite afraid and pleaded, “If you save us, I’ll agree to anything. I’ll even be your servant.”

The big sister-like woman looked at the others and sighed as she called out, “Sir, as long as you destroy the trap, the three of us will be yours, but please promise not to harm anyone else.”

Boom!

A massive sound rang out as an enormous blood-red sword light shot out. Countless Skeletons were turned into ash under this strike, and in that moment, all of the Skeletons disappeared and a deep sword gash appeared in the ground.

The seven people were quite shocked and had never thought that Zhao Fu was so terrifying. It was ridiculous that they had considered robbing Zhao Fu before.

“Now, it’s time to honor your promises,” Zhao Fu said with a faint smile as he looked at the three women.

The seductive woman had never thought that Zhao Fu’s strength would be so monstrous. If she could follow such a person, it would be a good thing. As such, she happily ran over and leapt into his embrace and affectionately said, “Sir, my name is Wu He; from now on, I’ll be yours.”

The domineering young girl looked at Zhao Fu with fear. She looked at the big sister-like woman with teary eyes, who lowered her head and somewhat sadly walked towards Zhao Fu.

The valiant young man stretched out his hand and grabbed her hand and pleaded, “Dong Mei, don’t go.”

The woman’s body trembled, and her eyes danced with tears. She turned, looked at the valiant young man, and gave a sad smile.

Right now, she was quite happy because despite knowing how powerful Zhao Fu was, the valiant young man still tried to stop her from leaving. She could feel the warmth from his hand, but that was all. She broke free from his grasp and softly said, “According to our agreement from before, I am his now. I’m sorry, but I hope you can find someone who loves you more in the future.”

“I don’t want someone else, I only want you. Dong Mei, I like you. Please don’t’ go.” Two trails of tears flowed down from the young man’s eyes. He felt incredibly emotional and grabbed the woman’s arm as he looked at her passionately.

The woman’s body slightly trembled as she stopped in her tracks. She had never thought that the valiant young man would say the words she had been waiting for the whole time. Tears flowed out from her eyes, and she smiled; she felt incredibly happy and blissful.

Bang!

A formless energy sent the young man flying. He coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and the woman was startled and hurriedly went to check on him in worry.

Zhao Fu’s cold voice sounded out, “If you keep dawdling, I’ll kill you all.”

Only then did the woman and the others come back to their senses. Right now, they were not in control; if Zhao Fu wanted their lives, he could kill them at any moment.

The domineering young girl ran to Zhao Fu’s side in fear. She obediently lowered her head and said, “Sir, I’m called Zi Yue.”

Zhao Fu nodded and looked at the woman called Dong Mei. Dong Mei lightly wiped away her tears and said sorry to the valiant young man before running over to Zhao Fu.

The young man cried out in pain and felt incredibly regretful. If he had said those things earlier, they could have been together.
