C45 Face to Face

Xiang Shaoyun and Little White didn't even have the time to hide as the other party jumped right in front of them.

"It's you! You didn't run away? No wonder we couldn't find you even after standing at the mountain's entrance for half-a-month. And here I thought that some demonic beast ate you," said the man standing in front of him.

There were a total of four people who had appeared before. A total of four cultivators blocked his path. They all sat on their ferocious mount, looking quite mighty. The person who spoke was Yan Tianming. He was sitting atop a demonic lion.

"Damn! Aren't they from the Wild Lion Demon Legion?" Xiang Shaoyun thought in his heart.

Seeing the four of them surrounding him, Xiang Shaoyun did not hesitate to run.

Unaware of their strengths and weaknesses, he would just die if he fought them now.

"Where do you think you're going? Take him down!" Yan Tianming shouted as he raised his arm.

At the same time, he threw a spear towards the direction Xiang Shaoyun had escaped in.

The spear surged forward and stabbed the ground in front of Xiang Shaoyun. Hearing the innuendo loud and clear, he decided to stop.

Within seconds, two riders came behind Xiang Shaoyun. One aimed his sword on Xinag Shaoyun's neck, and the other aimed it at his back.

They were both Astral Force experts. Their attacks would only have one outcome: Xinag Shaoyun's death.

Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun's strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and he now abnormal reaction speed. At the critical moment, he rolled forward and dodged both the slashes.

Not only that, but he also took the opportunity to retract and bounce backward, throwing out punches to the left and right.

His fists were not aimed at the attackers but at the bodies of demonic beasts.

Roar! Roar!

For those beasts, those punches were like two death blows. They went berserk and charged forwards like mad bulls.

On the other hand, the people riding the demonic beasts were quite unlucky as they were sent flying by the rampaging mounts.

"Kill!" Xiang Shaoyun's eyes revealed an ominous glint as he seized this opportunity to slash out with his heavy sword.

Puff!

One of them immediately lost his head.

Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to kill the other person, Yan Tianming and the others arrived.

"What a savage brat! Just you wait, I'll chop you into little pieces," shouted Yan Tianming as his spear shot out like a rainbow, enveloped in star energy that extended three to four meters.

This Yan Tianming was actually an expert at the fourth grade of the Astral Force Stage.

Xiang Shaoyun gave a backhanded slash and released another slash from his heavy sword.

BOOM!

The slashes crossed each other and blasted in a loud explosion.

Xiang Shaoyun was forced to retreat, and cracks appeared on his heavy sword.

"A third or fourth grade expert!" Xiang Shaoyun came to a conclusion.

The other person, alive after falling from the rampaging mount, took this opportunity to attack him from the side.

Xiang Shaoyun reacted quick, but there he still got nicked in the arm, blood came into play now.

The man turned his weapon around and targeted Xiang Shaoyun's vital parts.

It was, without a doubt, an attack meant for taking life.

This was a deadly attack from a third-grade Astral Force cultivator.

Xiang Shaoyun activated Insight, and he could easily see the attack's trajectory. Not only that, but he could also make out the trajectory of Yan Tianming's pincer attack.

Facing this kind of pincer attack, most first-grade cultivators would leave everything up to luck or god.

However, Xiang Shaoyun dodged the attacks with an astonishing maneuver. He shouted, "Little White, attack!"

When Xiang Shaoyun's voice fell, Little White, who was on his shoulder, suddenly moved.

Meow!

Little White was as quick as a cat. As if teleporting, he was on the third-grade Astral Force cultivator's face within a blink.

Ah!

Little White clawed at the third-grade cultivator's face, causing him to cry out in pain.

Most likely, he would never see his face ever again.

With Little White taking care of one of the attackers, Xiang Shaoyun had time to slash out at Yan Tianming.

Heaven Slaying Art!

The slash was seemingly slow, but no one would be able to see it coming. It moved in a transcendent manner and attacked Yan Tianming's weak spots.

Yan Tianming was also about to strike out, but when he saw Xiang Shaoyun's skill, all his senses screamed at him one word: retreat! Left with no other choice, he retreated and took a defensive position.

Yan Tianming changed his moves and came out with full force. He had to get rid of Xiang Shaoyun as soon as possible!

However, the past repeated itself. Before Yan Tianming could even unleash his attack, Xiang Shaoyun once again targeted his weak points. This once again forced him to retreat.

"This brat is strange. He can actually see through all my attacks," Yan Tianming thought to himself. He paused for a moment before shouting out loud, "I don't believe that you'll be able to see through me every single time. Kill!"

Yan Tianming was serious and placed his complete focus on Xinag Shaoyun.

He was about to show his true power.

Golden light rippled out from the spear, appearing like stars in the night sky. The beams were bright and quick, making it hard to trace them.

Xiang Shaoyun's Insight skill could not keep up, and he had no choice but to take retreat as a precaution.

Dingdong!

Due to the sudden burst of star energy, flowers and trees in the surroundings were all ruined.

The heavy sword in Xiang Shaoyun's hand cracked.

"Without a weapon, you will die!" Yan Tianming revealed a sinister look and attacked Xinag Shaoyun with even more intensity.

He thought in astonishment, "This guy is only in the first grade, yet he can counter my attacks. He must be eliminated lest he causes any further problems in the future."

Yan Tianming was worthy of being a demon hunter who had lived in the forest all year round. He seized this opportunity to attack without stopping, not even giving him time to draw his sword.

Xiang Shaoyun relied on the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps to dodge, but he was still slashed and began bleeding from all the wounds.

"If I can't escape, then I'll just have to fight!" Xiang Shaoyun wiped the blood off his face.

Xiang Shaoyun's Insight skill worked overtime, and he could see the spear's trajectory. With one hand, he blocked the spear's path and held it in place.

Everyone thought that his hand was pierced by the spear.

Yan Tianming was also a little happy when he saw his attack succeed.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun's strength had been ignited to the peak. If someone looked at his other arm, they would find that it was slowly being enveloped by purplish energy.

Thunderous Fist!

Like a thunderbolt, his fist traveled, and the air around it exploded.

Yan Tianming never expected that Xiang Shaoyun would attack with such a powerful skill at this precarious moment. Working on his fourth grade expert experience, he threw a punch back.

Bang!

The two fists clashed, emitting an explosive noise.

Yan Tianming was sent flying off his mount. As for his arm, it was completely numb as if struck by lightning.

At this moment, Xiang Shaoyun was akin to a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he had caught up to Yan Tianming.

No!

Yan Tianming watched the attack with his eyes wide open. He did not even get a chance to defend himself.

The sword fell, and he no longer had a head.

A fourth grade Astral Force expert had fallen just like that.

When Yan Tianming's other companion saw this, his body trembled in fear.

Xiang Shaoyun's gaze fell on him, and he unconsciously retreated. He no longer had the courage or the guts to fight Xiang Shaoyun!

"Y-you can't kill me! I-I belong to the Wild Lion Demon Legion!" Even his own warnings brought him no confidence as he retreated.
