Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 103: My Hand Shook, Let’s Do It Again

Liu Yuan stopped in his tracks, breathing heavily.

Having chased for so long without catching sight of any suspect, he began to suspect they had taken the wrong direction.

"I guess this isn’t the right way either."

"Here’s what we’ll do, comrade Liu Yuan, I’ll leave you a few people. Be extra vigilant as you retrace your steps, see if the suspect is hiding somewhere. I’ll take two and check out the situation with comrade Xiao Zhan."

"Alright, be careful," Liu Yuan noted, unable to discern anything.

Long Jiang immediately took several trusted associates and rushed towards the direction of Xiao Zhan at full speed.

Soon, he arrived at the scene of the recent battle.

A horrific sight greeted him; bodies were strewn everywhere. He was stunned in disbelief!

What the hell happened here?

Why are all of them dead?

Where is Xiao Zhan?

He quickly surveyed the bodies and immediately noticed that seven Artifact Spirits were missing.

There’s only one path leading here. Since he hadn’t encountered Xiao Zhan on his way here, that meant Xiao Zhan must have gone forward.

And ahead was their hidden base!

It must have been those Artifact Spirits guiding the way!

"Damn it!"

Long Jiang was furious and also somewhat regretful.

He had thought that with eight Second Grade Spirit Masters and nearly thirty First Grade Spirit Masters, they could easily capture Xiao Zhan.

Thus, he had intentionally accompanied Liu Yuan, creating an alibi for himself.

But he hadn’t expected such an unexpected occurrence!

"Could someone be secretly helping?"

This thought suddenly flashed through his mind, but he quickly shook his head, dismissing it. He had set up everything here in advance; there was no way anyone could have come, so it was impossible for anyone to have helped.

It must have been the work of just the two people, Xiao Zhan and his companion.

A Second Grade Spirit Master, yet possessing the destructive power of a Third Grade.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and glared furiously, "Damn it, Xiao Zhan, I didn’t expect you two to have some skills. No wonder the special forces pulled strings for you!"

"Chase!"

Without further ado, he immediately headed towards his base.

It was too late to call for reinforcements now, he absolutely couldn’t let Xiao Zhan discover his base, and he couldn’t let Xiao Zhan leave alive!

...

Meanwhile.

Led by seven Artifact Spirits, Xiao Zhan quickly entered into a denser forest.

"It’s around here, but we’re not sure about the exact location. They always have a specific person leading the way," the Artifact Spirit told Xiao Zhan, stopping at a spot in a small valley.

The location seemed ordinary, indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Silently, Xiao Zhan used his Perception talent to scan the area.

In just a second, he pinpointed a location.

It turns out it was an Illusion Realm masking the entrance.

He walked towards it, but just as he was about to enter, a long spear suddenly thrust out from inside, aiming straight at Xiao Zhan’s face.

With a calm expression, Xiao Zhan swiftly ducked and leaned backwards, narrowly avoiding the spear thrust. Simultaneously, his Death Demon Scythe swung out. Without needing to see, he slashed towards the illusory spot!

Puff!

He felt the sensation of the Demon Scythe cutting through flesh.

The next second, like a spring, Xiao Zhan swiftly stood up and leapt, breaking through the Illusion Realm’s concealment and entering the real environment inside.

The environment was somewhat dim, a base built inside a cave.

At the entrance, an Illusion Stone was embedded!

It was this stone that created an illusion as real as reality itself.

Xiao Zhan, disregarding the freshly slain corpse at his feet, launched an attack with the Death Demon Scythe against the remaining three male Spirit Masters inside.

These three men were clearly not expecting anyone to burst in, their faces filled with panic. But the recent noise had also made them react quickly as they each seized their Artifact Spirits and charged at Xiao Zhan.

But their strength was too weak; a First Grade Spirit Master couldn’t even withstand a single move from Xiao Zhan’s hand!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Three dull thuds sounded, leaving behind only three corpses!

Perception talent scanned the entire den, confirming that there were no male Spirit Masters, only then did Xiao Zhan seriously inspect the lair.

But at first glance, his eyes filled with rage, and his breathing turned rapid!

Because the den looked just like a dog kennel, female Artifact Spirits were imprisoned in cages, confined like dogs. Their clothes torn and tattered, expressions listless, each one tortured beyond human recognition.

Some were even completely naked, discarded aside carelessly.

On their bodies, the life was barely hanging by a thread, ready to die at any moment.

Xiao Zhan’s blood surged, his hands trembling. These Evil Cultivators, fucking inhumane! To torment Artifact Spirits like this!

Xiao Zhan smashed open the cages, then found clothes for them to wear, preparing to lead them out.

But to his astonishment, a large number of the women were too frightened to move, shrinking back into the corners, utterly devoid of the will to live!

In their eyes, there was nothing but endless fear and numbness from losing hope after being tormented!

This scene, witnessed by Xiao Zhan, fueled his rage even more, unable to vent!

He wished he could literally tear these beasts to pieces!

Just then, a series of screams came from outside the lair.

It was those Artifact Spirits!

Xiao Zhan’s perception swept out, and it was Long Jiang, with his trusted followers, who had caught up! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

He hurriedly stepped out of the lair.

He saw Long Jiang already controlling those seven Artifact Spirits, kneeling on the ground with several guns pressed to their heads, ready to execute them at any moment.

"Xiao Zhan, do you want to play the savior?" Long Jiang held an Artifact Spirit close in his embrace, with his longsword also placed against this Artifact Spirit’s neck!

The longsword was his Artifact Spirit.

He knew guns were useless against Xiao Zhan, but not against these Artifact Spirits.

"Long Jiang, why are you doing this?"

Xiao Zhan angrily questioned, while thinking how to save these Artifact Spirits.

They were firmly controlled, and if he used Fish Lamp Soul Summoning, he might not be able to free them all.

Death loomed, these people could likely start firing at the Artifact Spirits in panic, at such close range, death was almost certain.

Death Gaze would be a good way to rescue them, but he hadn’t mastered it yet, unable to deploy it.

He was very anxious now.

"Xiao Zhan, I don’t want to waste time with you, now let your Artifact Spirit revert its Artifact Spirit Form, and you two surrender! Otherwise, I’ll start killing these people!"

"I’ll count to three, if you don’t surrender, I’ll kill one immediately!"

"One...!"

Bang!

A gunshot, a woman fell to the ground, lifeless.

"You!"

"Oh, sorry, my hand slipped, let’s restart." Long Jiang’s face showed no concern; killing a person as if it were just a joke.

Xiao Zhan’s veins bulged on his hand, this scum, showing no reverence for life whatsoever.

He was purely trying to show Xiao Zhan not to assume he wouldn’t dare to kill, for him, killing was child’s play!

"One...!"

The lethal voice once again shouted out from Long Jiang’s mouth.
