Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Four treasure beasts, and martial skills at the premium stage with ice element. Where does this guy come from?" After dealing with a few fugitives, Warren had already lost his patience. He had thought Zachary's strength was just about the same as his, but now it seemed like the enemy was mightier than him. After all, he had lived long and had rich experience, so he refused to believe that he was unable to defeat this strange man even after teaming up with the other eight Imperial level warriors.

Just as the sword shadows caused significant damage, the four beasts went on a killing spree as well. Soon after, only a handful of those few hundred disciples were remaining. The rest of them were already dead or seriously hurt.

The surviving dozens of disciples withdrew to Warren's side. Simultaneously, the eight Imperial Level warriors gazed at Zachary with fear in their eyes, as he, together with his beasts behind him, inched closer. Time seemed to slow down as Zachary took each step, but the feeling of dread spread in these disciples' hearts crazily. At this point, fear had taken over their minds and bodies. In their eyes, Zachary was just like a monster! A psychopath! The devil!

"You are all just a bunch of losers! It's such a huge disappointment for me," Warren yelled as he gawked at those disciples cowering in panic alongside him. His expression turned dark, and he knew deep inside that it was useless to count on these cowards now.

"Warren, I don't think this guy is easy to deal with. In my opinion, it would be much better if we pull back right away and ask a Sage Level warrior instead to finish him off after going back to the Zi Clan." It was evident that the other eight Imperial Level warriors were terrified of Zachary, so one of them made such a recommendation.

"There's no need for you all to worry. His strength is only at the premium stage of Imperial Level. If we join forces in fighting him, he won't be as strong as we are. Besides, he has to control four treasure beasts, so I don't believe that his martial energy is enough to sustain him for a long time. It would be best if you struck first. If one of you can kill him, I will reward that person with a rare treasure that can boost his strength by a half grade of Imperial Level. Also, it will fascinate our leader once he finds out we have executed such a ruthles

l warriors with a single move.

Even Warren was in total shock as if he was still having trouble envisioning the scene before him. It was not until this moment that he felt a strong sense of dread arising from deep inside him.

"Warren, you're my next target. I'm here to get you, so you are the one accountable for their deaths," Zachary warned in a crisp voice as he progressed toward Warren with a cold aura.

"Who the hell are you?" Warren knew he had angered many people, but most of them had already lost their lives because of his doing, and the rest were mostly cowards. It was unlikely for them to come to him for revenge, so he couldn't figure out who Zachary was.

"Do you want to know?" Zachary mocked.

"Yes. I won't kill anyone unfamiliar." Warren tried his best to appear brave, but when he saw that Zachary was closing in, he could no longer prevent his body from shaking.

"Don't worry. I will tell you who exactly I am a few seconds before you die so that you won't pass away in confusion!" Zachary responded with a grim smile.

"Don't be too proud. Let me see how great you are." Although Warren knew that Zachary was ruthless, he was not willing to concede his defeat that fast. Zachary had killed so many disciples as well as four Imperial Level warriors of the Zi Clan. If he didn't do anything to avenge their deaths, it would be difficult for him to explain to his leader upon returning to the Zi Clan.

"You only have one chance to make a move against me, and then you will die!" Zachary narrowed his eyes after giving him an ultimatum.
