The Greatest Disciple of the Evil Sect

Chapter 11: Chapter 11- Crimson Jackal

"Hey who do you think those people are?"..

"You idiot, don't you know who these people are? They are from the Zhang clan from the cloud city. The Zhang clan is one of the top clans of the city along with the Lin and Xiao clan".

"Right, the one leading them is Elder Yang Zhan"..

"What? Zhang clan?!! Why are they here?"..

"You idiot don't you know what happened at the Zhang clan manor? The whole city freaked out when the news came out. It is said that Elder Zhang Zhan's son was killed by a lowly servant who used to work at their manor".

"What?! Elder Zhang Zhan's son was killed? The nerves of the servant. However, why are they here in the Starfall jungle?"..

"It is because the servant that killed Elder Zhang Zhan's son, was spotted diving inside the jungle three days ago"..

Hushed noises and hubbub spread among all the hunters.

.

.

The old man leading a couple of members of the Zhang clan, paid no attention to the murmurs around him. His fierce eyes were glued to the forest in front of him.

"Did you get any news?" the old man asked furiously.

"Elder Zhang Zhan does not need to worry. We have investigated the hunters around here and they told us that they indeed saw a slave of that description, diving inside the Starfall jungle three days ago"

A young man who could be considered a little handsome, reported. He was a few years older than Yang Chen and he had an arrogant aura around him.

Also, given the fact that he stood shoulder to shoulder with Elder Zang Zhan, one could tell that his position in the Zhang clan wasn't low.

"Zhang Wei, I know that patriarch sent you here to gain experience for the upcoming entrance test by hunting the demonic beast. However, you must know how important this mission is to me".

"That dastardly slave who killed my son, I must punish that criminal or else the soul of my dead son won't be appeased" Zhang Zhan stated. His words showed how furious he was.

"Haha, Elder Zhan does not have to worry. Father sent me here to help you avenge your son as well as hunt some demonic beasts. Of course, I would do my best to find that lowly servant that dared to kill members of our clan".

"Once we catch him, Elder Zhang Zhan can do whatever he wants. Well, that is only if that slave is still alive. It has been three days since that guy dived inside the jungle and given that he has no cultivation talent, he might have become a dinner of some demonic beasts"

Zhang Wei laughed finding glee at someone else's misery.

"If he is alive, I want to drag him back and punish him till he begs for death, if he is dead, I want his body. I will cut it into thousand pieces and feed it to dogs in front of my son's grave so that his soul can rest in peace" Zhang Zhan barked, killing intent surged from his body.

"Alright, why don't we do this, Elder Zhang Zhan and I will separate into two teams and search the jungle. Given that lowly servant's strength, he couldn't have gone too deep inside the jungle. He must be hiding around the borders" Zhang Wei proposed.

"Alright" Zhang Zhan quickly accepted it. Given how big the forest was it would be faster for them to search in separate teams.

Thus, Zhang Zhan and Zhang Wei led two separate teams and dived inside the jungle in search of Yang Chen.

-----

Somewhere inside the star fall jungle, a thin figure in a rag tag clothes, was currently locked in a fierce battle with a demonic beast called the Crimson Jackal.

The demonic beast was more than two meters big, incredibly agile and was covered in a crimson fur. Its eyes were filled with brutality and its claws and fangs were sharper than any ordinary weapons.

Whenever it swung its claws, the trunk of the trees around would have a foot deep claw marks engraved on them. From this one could easily guess how lethal the attacks of the crimson jackal was.

Even a veteran hunter would not dare to face it alone. However, the figure clashing with the crimson jackal was facing it all alone.

What's more, they were dodging the demonic beast's every attack with an agility that would make any hunter gape their mouth in shock. Not only that the figure also counter attacked at every opportunity they could find. Although their attacks were clumsy, they were nonetheless enough to get by.

Who could this thin figure with rag tag clothes be other than Yang Chen?

It has been three days since he had ventured inside the jungle. During these three days, he had bitterly practised burst step skill and had managed to raise it to the intermediate stage of completion.

Of course, it was not like he was able to train inside the jungle without being attacked by demonic beasts. In fact, many times during his training, many demonic beasts that were around or as strong as a Four Star Battle Apprentice pounced on him.

After being almost killed by the first demonic beast that he met, Yang Chen learned how dangerous the forest was. If not for the system rewarding him with additional mischief points for levelling up which allowed him to buy a healing pill from the store, he would have already died from his injuries by now.

After that near death encounter, Yang Chen started becoming more alert of his surroundings and learning about the jungle and its inhabitants.

Whoosh... the sound of wind rustling was heard, and a crimson figure pounced on him with a fierce speed.

Yang Chen swiftly activated the burst step and narrowly dodged the claws of the crimson jackal that came clawing at his chest. He activated the battle skill once again and appeared beside the demonic beast and plunged his sword inside the area where he had already made an injury on.

PSHH... blood sprayed out from that wound causing the demonic best to howl in agony and before long, it succumbed to its injury.
