Sorry, I'm Slightly Better Below

Chapter 6: Rest Assured

"Hmm?"

Seeing that his attack had failed, the ferocious expression on Wu Liang's face instantly disappeared, replaced by shock and astonishment.

Just after finishing a big battle, logically speaking, Chen Ze should have been the most relaxed at this moment. Moreover, this person was in the process of cutting off the tiger's head, and the spiritual sword was still stuck in the skull...

He should have had no chance of failure with this sneak attack.

What is this layer of spiritual energy protection?

Could it be a Supreme Grade defensive spiritual weapon?

It seems that only this level of defensive spiritual weapon can firmly withstand his full force attack with a High Grade magical weapon...

In this instant, Wu Liang's mind was filled with thoughts.

As for Chen Ze's questioning, he naturally wouldn't answer. After all, they had reached the point of no return.

"A Supreme Grade defensive spiritual weapon! Junior Brother Chen, you really surprised me as your senior brother!" Wu Liang sneered, then quickly withdrew the Yin Wind Cone and stabbed towards the layer of spiritual energy protection again.

Supreme Grade spiritual weapons are indeed powerful, but it also depends on who is using them.

Chen Ze only had a cultivation level of Qi Refining Third Layer, and he had just experienced a battle. It was probably his limit to be able to use a Supreme Grade spiritual weapon once.

So as long as he attacked one or two more times, Chen Ze would have no way out.

By then, even this defensive Supreme Grade spiritual weapon would be his.

Seeing the Yin Wind Cone stabbing again, Chen Ze's right hand quickly reached out and instantly grabbed Wu Liang's wrist.

The next second, his cultivation level of Qi Refining Fifth Layer erupted with full force!

Crack!

With a crisp sound, Wu Liang's wrist bone was directly twisted, and the Yin Wind Cone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

The ferocious expression on Wu Liang's face instantly turned into shock and horror.

To be able to directly twist his wrist bone, Chen Ze's cultivation level was actually higher than his!

"How is this possible? Has this kid been pretending all along?"

Wu Liang couldn't accept it for a moment.

Since he entered the sect, he had always hidden his cultivation level. Others only knew that he was at the Qi Refining Third Layer, but in fact, he was at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer.

With a cultivation level of Qi Refining Fourth Layer, plus a sneak attack with a High Grade magical weapon, dealing with a junior brother at the Qi Refining Third Layer should have been an easy task, right?

But who could have expected that Chen Ze could hide even better than him!

Hiding the Supreme Grade spiritual weapon was one thing, but his cultivation level was actually higher than his!

What's even more bizarre is that even with a Supreme Grade spiritual weapon in hand and a higher cultivation level, he is still so vigilant!

Is there no justice in this world?

It's over!

In just an instant, Wu Liang felt hopeless.

He had been cautious in everything since he entered the sect, and his actions were quite low-key. As a result, he encountered someone even more cunning the first time he did something like this within the sect.

Is the outside world really this dangerous?

Alas! All is lost!

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine to take...

Although his heart was already in despair, the strong will to survive made him instinctively shout, "Junior Brother! I was wrong! Spare me..."

However, before he could finish his words, Chen Ze had already picked up the Yin Wind Cone from the ground and ruthlessly pierced it into his forehead.

Wu Liang's body trembled, his eyes instantly widened, and then he completely collapsed.

"Senior brother, rest assured."

Chen Ze pulled out the Yin Wind Cone and said calmly.

To be honest, if Wu Liang had realized something was wrong and retreated immediately, it would have taken him more effort. But unfortunately, Wu Liang was too arrogant. After one failed sneak attack, he actually wanted to try again, completely disregarding Chen Ze.

Now, with one strike, he was dead, and there was no need to use any other means.

After sighing lightly, Chen Ze took the storage bag from Wu Liang's body.

Although he already knew what was inside, he still opened it and counted the contents.

Hmm... Low Grade spirit stones, one hundred pieces. Qi Gathering pills, five pieces. High Grade spirit sword, one. Middle Grade spirit shield, one. Middle Grade spirit dagger, a weapon of the same level.

There are also some healing pills and low-level spell talismans.

"One hundred pieces of spirit stones, five Qi Gathering pills... It should be enough for me for a while." Chen Ze smiled.

Usually, outer disciples only need two Qi Gathering pills per month.

One is provided by the sect, and the other one they have to find a way to obtain.

They can be purchased with spirit stones or exchanged with contribution points.

But he is different...

His talent far surpasses ordinary disciples.

Although he also uses two Qi Gathering pills per month, he feels that it's not enough after these few months.

Now, with these five Qi Gathering pills, plus the three that the sect just provided, he has a total of eight Qi Gathering pills.

With eight Qi Gathering pills, he can try using four per month.

If he can absorb all of them, he might be able to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining before the demon trial begins in two months.

The seventh level of Qi Refining is not considered weak, not just for the new outer disciples this year, but even among all the outer disciples.

With this level of strength, it shouldn't be difficult to pass a trial designed for new disciples.

Not to mention that he also has one hundred pieces of Low Grade spirit stones... He can still rent some treasures from his senior sister when the time comes.

In addition, Wu Liang's three spirit weapons can be sold in the black market near Azure Sun Sect, and he can exchange them for one or two hundred spirit stones.

"Using four Qi Gathering pills per month." Chen Ze felt somewhat melancholic.

In the past, when he was in the family, he could only use one Qi Gathering pill per year, and that was with the family prioritizing his resources.

Now he's actually thinking about using four pills per month. It's really inflated.

...

After a moment of emotion, Chen Ze carefully dealt with the scene and then headed straight to the sect.

Half an hour later.

In the mission hall of Azure Sun Sect, Chen Ze rushed in with a panicked expression.

The steward in the hall frowned when he saw this and said in a deep voice, "Why the panic?"

"Steward Ren! Something bad happened! Wu Liang, my senior brother from Mysterious Serene Peak, and I encountered a spy from the Demon Sect! Please come and see!" Chen Ze said, gasping for breath, with a hint of fear still on his face.

Steward Ren immediately stood up upon hearing this, his tone serious. "A spy from the Demon Sect? Don't panic, take your time and tell me slowly."

"Okay... It's like this. Wu Liang and I took a mission to exterminate a tiger demon. After completing the mission, on our way back to the sect, we saw a suspicious person. So Wu Liang went forward to interrogate..."

Unexpectedly, that person suddenly attacked! Wu Liang and I couldn't defeat him, so we had to escape separately...

On the way back, after thinking about that person's methods, I speculated that he was probably from the Demon Sect." Chen Ze recounted the story he had prepared.

Upon hearing this, Steward Ren immediately said, "Where is this place? Take me there!"

He had no concerns. Since that person was able to let this outer disciple escape, his cultivation was probably inferior to his own.

"Okay!" Chen Ze immediately agreed and then led Steward Ren out of the mission hall.

...

Half an hour later, on the roadside grass near the foot of Azure Sun Sect, Chen Ze and Steward Ren found Wu Liang's body.

"This... Senior Brother Wu..." Seeing Wu Liang's body, Chen Ze's face was filled with grief.

Steward Ren quickly walked to the side of the body, squatted down, and carefully examined it.

After a moment, he raised his head, took a deep breath, and said with a serious expression, "The center of the eyebrows was pierced by a demonic weapon, and there is still a trace of evil energy remaining. This is indeed the work of a cultivator from the Demon Dao..."

Thanks to Yun Shui Zhi Tian for the 500-point reward.
