Chapter 260 - Journey Back Home

The Spiked Giant Worm pounced towards Yang Zenke with great momentum. Its abrupt movement caused the surrounding air to fluctuate wildly. Apart from Yang Zenke, the rest of the group appeared to be shaken by the beast’s terrible power.

Yang Zenke felt an extreme sense of danger, but he remained calm as he watched the incoming beast. He steadied his sword and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"All of you, snap out of it and focus your attacks when it opens its mouth!"

Everyone regained their senses when they heard Yang Zenke’s wake-up call. After regaining clarity, all of them immediately prepared to strike as they waited for the Spiked Giant Worm to open its mouth.

’It might be able to instantly regenerate its external wounds, but I don’t believe that it would be able to heal its internal injuries that fast. This is our only chance to land a fatal blow!’ This was Yang Zenke’s thoughts as he stared intently at the huge worm in front of him.

The Spiked Giant Worm suddenly opened its huge mouth, intending to take a bite on a few of the foolish humans that dared to walk in its territory.

Yang Zenke and the others could already smell the nauseating scent coming from its mouth, but they stood their ground and waited for Yang Zenke’s signal.

"Now! Use everything you’ve got!" Yang Zenke shouted.

Everyone nodded their heads and immediately casted their strongest skills towards the wide-open mouth of the Spiked Giant Worm.

Flashes of sword lights tore through the air as Yang Zenke and his group released their attacks!

Baangg!!

The savage beast worm did not even realize their intention and was directly hit by their combined assault, blasting a huge portion of its mouth!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The huge worm writhed in agony as buckets of blood flowed down like a fountain from its huge open wound.

Yang Zenke narrowed his eyes and warned his group in a grim tone. "Step back! It might use its remaining power to attack us!"

Everyone immediately followed his command when they heard his words.

The huge Spiked Giant Worm continued to flail madly on the ground, but its movement was slowly weakening as it lost more of its blood.

After more than a few minutes, the Spiked Giant Worm’s body finally ceased moving.

Yang Zenke and the others heaved a sigh of relief after seeing it.

"Wait here. I’ll check if it is still alive." Yang Zenke said before he cautiously walked towards the Spiked Giant Worm’s corpse. He then poked its head using his sword, but he sensed no signs of life from the beast.

"It’s dead." He declared to his group with a relieved smile.

"Great! We took down a 7th-rank Emperor realm savage beast!"

"Excellent! I wonder if the master would praise us if he learned about this..."

"Good job, everyone! Now, let’s regroup with the other teams so that we can go back home." Yang Zenke said as he sheathed his sword.

"Yes!"

"See. I told you that they would be alright, but that kid Yang Zenke is truly a talent! He actually managed to expertly command his teammates to defeat that kind of wild savage beast! I don’t know how Sect Master Jiu Shen managed to nurture that kid." Hu Xiandao said to the woman beside him.

"I admit that even I was surprised by his commanding ability. We might be seeing the growth of a rising star." The cold-looking woman displayed a rare trace of interest on her stone-cold face.

"Hahaha! You might be right. I’m looking forward to what these young kids will achieve under Sect Master Jiu Shen’s guidance." Hu Xiandao said with a wide smile.

The cold-looking woman beside him also smiled for a brief moment, but Hu Xiandao was too unlucky to see that beautiful scene...

Yang Zenke led his group towards the exit of the Endless Forest. They have already been here numerous times and they had even drawn out a map of the Endless Forest. Although it was still incomplete, they still managed to map out the outer ring of the Endless Forest after numerous explorations.

The group stumbled upon a few other teams along the way and they walked out of the Endless Forest together. They also talked about their experiences during the training and everyone was awed when they heard that Yang Zenke’s team managed to kill a 7th-rank Emperor realm savage beast.

"Woah! That’s my buddy! To think that your team was actually able to kill such a beast! And here I thought we were already great enough to kill a peak stage 6th-rank savage beast." Han Sen raised his thumbs while looking at Yang Zenke.

Yang Zenke glanced at Han Sen and scratched his head with a smile.

"What a pity though. We could not even bring its corpse back with us. If only we had a spatial ring with us, then we might have been able to bring it and sell its corpse to the market." Yang Zenke shook his head in regret.

Han Sen also sighed after hearing his friend’s words, but his eyes suddenly shone with excitement as he said.

"I wonder what the master will reward us when we come back... Hehehe." Han Sen chuckled merrily.

Everyone was similarly excited at the thought of his words. Every time they came back from training, Jiu Shen would always give them some sort of reward, so they were eager to go back home.

They waited for the other teams outside the Endless Forest and when everyone was back, they immediately darted towards the direction of the Silver Wing Empire.

Behind these young elites were Hu Xiandao and the elders of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect. All of them were looking at these kids with eyes filled with warmth.

"Let’s go. Sect Master Jiu Shen is still waiting for us. He might even be surprised if he discovers the growth of those little brats. Hahaha!" Hu Xiandao guffawed as he walked forward.

The elders of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect followed behind him with unchanging expressions on their faces.
