Chapter 1874 - 1865: Ending the Dispute

"I understand!"

Ao Kangsheng also nodded, and only then did the quarrel come to an end.

In truth, Ao Cangsheng didn’t care about that Water Shadow Beast at all. What he was after were the dragon’s nine shadows. What did it matter if the water one went to someone else?

He just couldn’t stand Murong Chu’s arrogant, overbearing attitude, so he had to clash with Murong Chu.

After that dispute, the nine of them continued moving through the forest.

To consolidate Murong Chu’s faction, apart from Bai Shiyu, several others intentionally or unintentionally widened the distance between themselves and Ao Cangsheng.

Bai Shiyu and Ao Kangsheng were at the rear. To keep further conflict from breaking out, Bai Shiyu deliberately urged Ao Cangsheng to endure for a while.

Ao Kangsheng accepted Bai Shiyu’s advice and promised that if Murong Chu didn’t go too far, he wouldn’t tear things completely open.

Before long, a Shadow Beast appeared in front of them.

Based on Bai Shiyu’s earlier description, Ao Cangsheng could confirm that this was one of the Tian Sha Thirty‑Three Beasts, a Shadow Beast.

In terms of combat power, Tian Sha’s Shadow Beasts couldn’t compare with the Twenty‑Eight Star Beasts or the dragon’s Nine Shadow Beasts.

But for other common vicious beasts, enhancing them with these beasts’ shadows would be extremely good.

So the moment the vicious beast appeared, Murong Chu immediately rushed it.

When the others saw this, they all tacitly understood, and with Murong Chu as the pivot, they split and advanced from both sides.

Ao Cangsheng naturally followed along beside Bai Shiyu. A few of them moved very fast; even though the vicious beast had noticed them, it still couldn’t escape their pursuit.

"Clang!"

Murong Chu was the first to strike. His Longsword was like a rainbow, drawing a perfect arc through the air and, in an instant, slamming down onto the vicious beast’s back.

Blood suddenly splattered across the beast’s tough Black Armor.

Because its Armor was too solid, although the Sword wounded the beast, the injury wasn’t too severe.

With Murong Chu’s move, the vicious beast’s attention was drawn over to him.

"Roar—"

The vicious beast bellowed, its massive tail whipping out like lightning, trying to sweep Murong Chu away outright.

However, Zhu Murong’s speed really was fast enough. Before that huge tail came down, his body rapidly slipped back out of range.

"Boom—"

With an explosive crash, two ancient trees were suddenly smashed aside by the vicious beast’s huge tail.

The six people nearby all saw an opening and unleashed their attacks.

The six Soldiers flashed into motion. Before the vicious beast could turn, its hard Armor was already carved into several deep grooves, accompanied by sprays of blood.

"Roar—"

In pain, the beast roared madly. Unable to get Zhu Murong, it turned its head and lunged at the six nearest people.

After several such exchanges back and forth, the forest was thrown into chaos.

As for the vicious beast, its Armor had been chopped layer by layer into tatters; it was clearly badly mangled.

During this time, Ao Cangsheng had also struck seven times, but because of Murong Chu, he hadn’t used a truly heavy hand this time, only slightly weakening the beast’s strength.

This scene fell right into Zhu Murong’s eyes. Murong Chu immediately glared viciously at Ao Kangsheng.

In Murong Chu’s view, Ao Cangsheng was doing this solely to conserve his strength for the final blow and seize the beast’s shadow.

To keep Ao Cangsheng from succeeding, Murong Chu suddenly slowed his attacks and began gathering power for the finishing strike.

A quarter of an hour later, the vicious beast finally began to tire.

Seeing this, both Ao Kangsheng and Murong Chu’s eyes lit up.

When the last wave of group attacks ended, Murong Chu suddenly sprang forward again, decapitating the vicious beast like a bolt of lightning.

Ao Kangsheng was not to be outdone. The instant Murong Chu moved, his Longsword flared with a fierce light and chopped down at the beast’s neck as well.

"Clang—"

"Roar—"

The two Sword auras boomed like thunder as they crashed onto the beast’s neck, colliding fiercely.

At the same time, they exploded across the beast’s thick neck, tearing open the entire throat.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through its heart, and the beast, which had already been on its last breath, howled again.

As it turned out, it survived because of Ao Kang’s power.

After hearing Ao Kangsheng’s explanation, Murong Chu almost spat blood.

As far as Murong Chu was concerned, Ao Kangsheng’s reasoning was completely irrefutable.

As a member of the team, Ao Cangsheng naturally had the right to participate in killing the vicious beast.

Since the beast wasn’t dead yet, Ao Kangsheng had every reason to keep fighting rather than stand by and do nothing.

Most importantly, Murong Chu claimed that Ao Kangsheng had stolen the beast’s shadow from him, but in the end Ao Kangsheng didn’t collect the beast’s shadow at all, making Murong Chu’s accusation entirely untenable.

If Murong Chu really had to blame someone, he could only blame Jiang Xue for not taking that last step.

But doing that would definitely chill the others’ hearts.

At that point, if the others no longer wanted to follow him, the only one who would suffer a loss would be himself.

Thinking this through, Murong Chu ultimately did not start anything with Ao Kangsheng.

However, before leaving, Murong Chu deliberately warned Ao Kangsheng, "If you dare to pull that crap again next time, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Faced with Murong Chu’s threat, Ao Cangsheng only let out a cold laugh, as if he hadn’t taken it to heart at all.

However, after seeing the vicious, sinister look on Murong Chu’s face, Bai Shiyu secretly worried for Ao Cangsheng.

After that, the nine of them went on to kill three more Tian Sha Beasts.

Without exception, because of Ao Kangsheng’s sudden moves, in the end the shadows of those three beasts did not end up in Murong Chu’s hands.

For this, Murong Chu again held himself back and once more warned Ao Cangsheng that if he dared to ruin his achievements again, he would directly put an end to Ao Cangsheng’s Dragon Shadow Illusion Technique journey.

Seeing Murong Chu on the verge of losing his mind, Bai Shiyu also quietly reminded Ao Kangsheng not to rip Murong Chu’s face completely off in one go.

Doing that wouldn’t bring Ao Kangsheng any benefit.

As for the people who obtained the beast shadows, in their eyes, their ability to kill those Shadow Beasts was largely thanks to Chu Murong.

Thus these people felt even more goodwill toward Murong Chu. As for Ao Cangsheng, who had actually done them the favor, they not only failed to offer the gratitude he deserved but instead grew even more disdainful and hateful toward him.

Fortunately, Cangsheng didn’t care about these people’s petty reactions; he was still focused on contending with Chu Murong.

After killing the fourth vicious beast, the conflict between Ao Kangsheng and Murong Chu finally erupted.

This one was Bi Yuewu, one of the Twenty‑Eight Star Beasts; its shadow was more precious than the total of the previous three Star Beasts.

From the very first moment he laid eyes on Bi Yuewu, intense greed flashed in Murong Chu’s eyes.

After that, Murong Chu did everything he could at the first opportunity to capture Bi Yuewu’s beast shadow.

Of course, to stop Ao Cangsheng from continuing to stir things up, Murong Chu was running at full alert, guarding against Ao Cangsheng the entire time.

Despite how painstakingly Murong Chu tried to manage things, in the end Bi Yuewu’s beast shadow was collected by Bai Shiyu.

The reason for this outcome was Ao Kangsheng’s timely strike.

When the golden shadow fell into Bai Shiyu’s body, Murong Chu’s eyes turned red.

In that instant, everyone could feel the intense rage and killing intent surging off Murong Chu.

"What is your problem? Why are you always opposing me?"

Murong Chu roared with fury, glaring at Ao Cangsheng as he demanded this.

Ao Kangsheng smiled faintly, but facing Chu Murong, he showed no fear at all. "I don’t know what you mean. Was it wrong for me to kill a vicious beast?"

"Killing vicious beasts is fine, but why do you keep stopping me from collecting their shadows?"

"The first three times, I thought you were just competing with me for the kill, not deliberately hindering me."

"If you oppose me again this time, who do you expect me to think I won’t dare to kill?"

Murong Chu held his Longsword in hand, his voice icy cold.

Seeing this, Bai Shiyu’s heart instantly sank.
