Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 459 - Senior

She quickly and laboriously raised her other arm, saluting with one hand:

“Junior Liang Feiyan, thank you, Senior, for your life-saving grace.”

Jin Zhongming, having been saved, felt deeply grateful. He cupped his fists tightly together and said loudly,

“Senior, your great kindness—Jin Zhongming will never forget it!”

Even Xia Chaoge dared not delay.

She bowed gracefully and said, “Xia Chaoge expresses her gratitude to Senior for the rescue.”

“May I ask for Senior’s esteemed name? Chaoge must request my master to personally visit and express thanks.”

Such a desperate situation.

Even a powerhouse at the Seventh Level of Core Formation would probably stare helplessly at the beast tide.

Rescuing them was an achievement as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

The weight of such a favor could never be repaid with mere words of thanks.

“No need for courtesy.”

Jiang Fan spoke, only to realize his throat was hoarse.

After three continuous *life-and-death hours of battle,*

his blood energy had been at its peak the entire time.

Over time, it had started to dull his senses.

Not only was his voice hoarse, but his hearing and vision were also somewhat affected.

Thankfully, the issue was not serious.

He leaped off the back of a beast and flew over to Xia Chaoge. After carefully examining her, he found that besides some superficial wounds, she was unharmed.

Only then did he exhale slightly in relief.

“As long as you’re okay,” Jiang Fan said.

Liang Feiyan and Jin Zhongming exchanged glances.

Why did it sound like this Senior had come specifically to rescue Xia Chaoge?

Thinking of Xia Chaoge’s status as the number one in the Nine-Sect Land,

they immediately understood.

For someone of Xia Chaoge’s status, it was perfectly reasonable for a Senior to risk their life to save her.

Xia Chaoge was also a bit puzzled.

The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn’t recall knowing such a Senior.

Still, it didn’t stop her from expressing gratitude: “Many thanks, Senior.”

Jiang Fan couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry.

*Just because his voice was hoarse, she couldn’t recognize him?*

But clearly, this wasn’t the time for reminiscing.

The Beast Kings, frightened by his slaughter, were retreating.

Such a great accomplishment—how could he let them escape?

If they fled out of the canyon and scattered in all directions, where could they be found?

“Can you still fight?”

Xia Chaoge shook her head. “Junior’s Spiritual Power has been completely depleted.”

Liang Feiyan raised her grotesquely swollen arm even higher.

They were tempted by the idea too.

Following the Senior to hunt Beast Kings meant they could at least collect a few Demon Cores.

But they were entirely incapable of moving.

Jiang Fan nodded, then retrieved two Replenishing Spirit Pills, handing them to Xia Chaoge and Liang Feiyan.

“Take these, then follow me to hunt the Beast Kings!”

What?

Liang Feiyan hesitated slightly.

She didn’t even know what kind of pill this was yet.

But Xia Chaoge, without a second thought, immediately swallowed one.

If this man wanted to harm her, he wouldn’t have risked so much to save her.

Seeing Xia Chaoge take the pill, Liang Feiyan no longer hesitated and swallowed one as well.

The next moment.

He exclaimed in shock, “My Spiritual Power! It’s fully restored!”

A hint of astonishment appeared on Xia Chaoge’s normally calm, elegant face.

She noticed that in just a moment, her previously empty Golden Core had regained seventy to eighty percent of its Spiritual Power.

Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, “Senior, what kind of pill is this?”

For it to instantly restore all of the Spiritual Power of an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like Liang Feiyan,

and even recover eighty percent of a mid-stage Jiedan cultivator like herself,

its effects were simply miraculous!

Jiang Fan said, “We’ll discuss it later. Follow me to massacre the beast tide—don’t miss the chance!”

Liang Feiyan was immediately ecstatic.

With a Senior this powerful, there wasn’t the slightest danger in following him.

Calling it “slaughtering Beast Kings” was one thing.

But in reality, it was more like harvesting Demon Cores!

Xia Chaoge nodded as well. Just moments ago, this group of Beast Kings had left them with no escape route.

Now, it was their turn to counterattack.

“Wait! Senior, what about me?”

Jin Zhongming’s expression turned anxious as he spoke.

This was a golden opportunity—essentially a free ticket to immense benefits.

If Xia Chaoge and Liang Feiyan both had the chance, how could he be left out?

Jiang Fan cast him a flat glance. “You, a Body Refinement cultivator, have any use for a Replenishing Spirit Pill?”

Jin Zhongming immediately replied, “Senior, you might not know.”

“Our Body Refinement sect may not employ Spiritual Power.”

“But Spiritual Power can repair our bodies.”

“The Replenishing Spirit Pill you’re holding has the same effect on me.”

Jiang Fan nodded faintly. “Hmm, noted.”

Jin Zhongming’s face lit up with joy, thinking Jiang Fan was about to hand him a miraculous pill.

But Jiang Fan simply tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, striding away without a backward glance, and said,

“Find a good-natured person willing to help you.”

“You, I can’t afford to help.”

They hadn’t been far apart earlier.

Jin Zhongming’s complaints that Jiang Fan had arrived too late rang loud and clear in his ears.

What kind of person was this!

Besides, even without those earlier complaints, Jiang Fan wouldn’t have given Jin Zhongming a pill after witnessing his previous behavior.

Jin Zhongming’s face froze.

He quickly realized that Jiang Fan had overheard his earlier grumblings.

Liang Feiyan glanced at him gleefully, unafraid to mock him: “Senior Brother Jin, I suggest you leave the canyon quickly.”

“In your current state, even a stray Beast King could easily take your life.”

Jin Zhongming’s heart quivered.

Unwillingly, he watched their retreating figures before finally resolving to leave this treacherous land.

But as he trudged along, his frustration grew.

Just because of one complaint, the treatment he received compared to Liang Feiyan and Xia Chaoge was worlds apart!

One was about to follow the Senior to collect Demon Cores.

The other was slinking away miserably.

Why?!

Suddenly.

He noticed the countless corpses piled around him, their Demon Cores untouched, and his eyes lit up.

“Hahaha!”

“They left me behind?”

“I can just take these myself, can’t I?”

“So many Demon Cores—worth at least a thousand Merit Points. If I take them back to Sunset City, what can they do to stop me?”

His master, Kong Yuanba, was in Sunset City, after all.

Could this man possibly demand the Demon Cores back from Kong Yuanba?

Without hesitation, he approached one of the Demon Beasts.

Just as he was about to slice open its belly.

Suddenly, darkness enveloped his vision.

A hefty ox hoof mercilessly slammed into his face.

Exhausted as he was, Jin Zhongming couldn’t evade. He was struck squarely, blacking out immediately and collapsing to the ground.

Bai spat disdainfully, “How bold—you dare try stealing Jiang Fan Brother’s Demon Cores?”

The *Spiritual Horse* also wandered over. Its unyielding sense of competition compelled it to join in.

It lowered its head, thrusting its horn forward.

The pointed horn pierced directly into Jin Zhongming’s buttocks.

The unconscious Jin Zhongming twitched uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Jiang Fan,

with Xia Chaoge and Liang Feiyan in tow, continued pursuing the Beast Kings.

Compared to head-on fighting, chasing them down was much easier.

The Beast Kings only cared about fleeing, too scared to stop and resist.

The result was a massive and effortless slaughter for the three!

Elsewhere, Wu Manyue and her group were struggling.

As the beast tide surged more violently,

they faced the desperate counterattacks of the dying Beast Kings.

Aside from Wu Manyue, who was slightly better off, the other three were severely injured, incapacitated and lying atop a cliff.

Alone, Wu Manyue could no longer hold the line as her Spiritual Power drained completely.

Pale-faced, she slumped onto a patterned python’s back.

Watching helplessly as the Beast Kings swarmed past beneath her gaze.

A rough estimate.

No fewer than twenty Beast Kings had escaped.

“Damn it!”

“What on earth is going on?”

At first, they had managed to hold back the beast tide.

But for some unknown reason, the later Beast Kings charged with an almost maddened ferocity, leading to their current predicament.

At that moment.

A low voice called out.

“Senior! There’s a Fifth Level Core Formation one left over there!”
