Robber Seven's eyes darted around as he heard the sounds of battle from Shao Xuan's side. He wanted to look in that direction but his neck didn't seem to listen to him. Perhaps it was his natural reaction. He had to pay attention to the person closest to him who could threaten his life. For example, the strange man with sharp claws and fangs.
Crack! Crack!
One of the chains around Gan Qie's body was broken by the force of the pull. This seemed to have triggered a chain reaction.
Crack! Crack!
Crack! A series of cracking sounds erupted in a short span of time. The metal chains around Gan Qie's body snapped into small pieces and scattered on the ground.
The sand-yellow flame around Gan Qie's body seemed to have been pushed away by the shockwave. Countless pieces of grass that flew into the air dried up and fell to the ground like sand.
Gan Qie's breathing sounded like a blood-soaked beast swallowing flesh and blood. The red glow in his eyes intensified. His hard and sharp finger bones were like ten high-quality knives as they scratched against the chains. Sparks flew everywhere as they made a sharp sound.
The six men in black weren't the only ones who were stunned. Even Ci Du and the others who thought they knew Gan Qie better were stunned.
How were these human fingers? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were made by a master craftsman! Otherwise, how could they create such an effect?!
Gan Qie firmly held onto the broken chains that were trying to escape. He pulled back and pulled one of the men in black towards him. Before the man could escape, Gan Qie's fingers were already around his neck. He looked like he was going to bite him but before he could do so, he seemed to have smelled something unpleasant. He threw the man away in disgust as if he was throwing away trash.
The man in black who was thrown away crashed into the forest not far away. He broke a few tree trunks that were as thick as a man and fell to the ground. He slid across the grass for a long time before he stopped. He let out a painful cry and couldn't get up for a while.
Gan Qie's blood-red eyes didn't even look at whether the man in the forest was dead or alive. He turned and looked at the other man in black.
Looking at those blood-red eyes, the man in black's hand that was holding onto the chains trembled.
After the clattering of the chains, there was a loud crash, followed by a short scream.
Si's eyes flickered but he did not divert his attention to that direction. Instead, he sprinted towards Shao Xuan. His black robe fluttered as he dashed forward at high speed, shattering countless bits of grass that were flying in the air. The distance between Si and Shao Xuan was not too far. Si's movements were peculiar. Even though he was wielding a long-handled broadsword, he seemed to be gliding over the grass as if he was weightless.
Si waved his arms, the long cross-hilted biscuit that resembled a beast's fangs drew an arc in front of him. The sharp Xi blade seemed to condense a despairing aura of death, as if it wanted to cut off all life. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Shao Xuan.
The icy aura of the blade came straight at Shao Xuan. The sound of the wind breaking was strangely sharp, piercing to the ears.
Shao Xuan did not try to hide. At a time like this, he had no intention of wasting time with his opponent. He did not want to test his opponent's strength step by step. Instead, he chose to use the Yanjiao style — direct, barbaric, violent, and the most effective way to attack.
Highly active totemic power coursed through every part of his body. It was as if there were air bombs exploding on the surface of his body. His aura was violent and ferocious.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing was endless. The sparks from the clash of blades were especially eye-catching in the dark night.
Every time Shao Xuan took a step forward, the ground beneath his feet would sink with a thunderous rumble. The entire floor seemed to be trembling.
The leaves blown by the wind, as well as the soil and grass that were thrown into the air by the tremors, were initially scattered like a drizzle. However, as the two sides clashed again and again, it quickly turned into a violent storm. The vibrant green that was torn apart, the withered yellow that was drained of moisture, and the brown soil that was stained with pebbles were all gloomy under the night sky. Along with the two men's movements, they were wantonly swept away and blown away.
Si's wide black robes were torn in many places. Every time he waved his hand, a hole would appear.
Bam!
Shao Xuan once again violently deflected the biscuit that came slashing at him.
Si used the momentum to retreat. In the brief moment of respite, Si's eyebrows were raised like the other men in black. He panted quickly, his narrowed pupils flashing with suspicion. He no longer had the domineering aura that he had before the fight started. More and more, he felt an uncontrollable sense of danger.
The strange man guarding Robber Seven was one of them, and the other was the Yanjiao man before him. If it was only a guess at the beginning, he was now completely certain of the man's identity.
From the information he gathered, and from what he learned from Ji Fang, there was only one person who fit this man's identity — Yanjiao's Grand Elder, Shao Xuan!
Even though Si already knew from Ji Fang that Shao Xuan was a dangerous character, the information he heard and understood was far more profound than experiencing it firsthand!
How could this tribesman be so strong?!
However, if that was all there was to it, then there was nothing to worry about.
Under the continuous collision of their auras and strength, Si felt that he had a rough grasp of Shao Xuan's strength.
The moment they collided, Si felt as if the bones in his entire arm were about to break. It was as if the one who collided with him was not a human, but a gigantic beast. The Yanjiao man, who was rumored to be as ferocious as a beast, was not to be underestimated!
However, under such brute force, he could still win with technique.
A calculating glint flashed across Si's eyes, but in the next moment, he felt the skin on his back tighten. Before he could think too much, he realized that Shao Xuan was ready to attack again.
Again?!
Si's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. His chest and abdomen shrunk back as he retreated quickly to buy himself enough time. Then, he paused abruptly, his right foot stomping on the ground. His body moved with a twist of his waist and knees. With a flip of his palm, the cross-handled Xi was tossed into the air. Then, he reached out with both hands to grab the cross-handled Xi and spun it.
In an instant, the cross-handled Xi spun like the blades of a meat grinder. Before the flying leaves could even get close, they were already shattered by the Xi's blade aura. Based on Shao Xuan's previous attack power, even if he could hurt Si, Shao Xuan himself would have suffered more serious injuries. No one was willing to charge into a meat grinder. Those who charged into the spinning Xi would have been ground into minced meat.
However, Si's guess was wrong.
Shao Xuan was even more ferocious than before.
For a moment, Si wondered if Shao Xuan, this tribesman, was an idiot.
Si thought his eyes must be playing tricks on him. He seemed to have seen a flash of white light under Shao Xuan's feet. It was fleeting and unclear, like a hazy fog that appeared and disappeared in an instant.
Shao Xuan bent his knees slightly and lowered his body, like a beast ready to pounce on its prey in the forest. The next moment, he stomped his feet on the ground, flattening a large patch of grass that was above his knees! The entire patch of ground was lowered by a notch!
Shao Xuan, on the other hand, was propelled by a powerful force. His body shot out like an arrow from a crossbow, bringing with it a strong gust of wind that could sweep a giant bear high into the air. His arm wielding the Xi's blade slashed out with the force of the impact. The air followed the movement of Shao Xuan's arm, setting off the sound of wind and thunder. The dirt and pebbles on the ground, the grass that was uprooted from the ground, and the flying sand from Gan Qie's direction were all pushed to the sides by the surging air waves. It was as if there was a ferocious beast roaring madly inside, chasing them away.
There was no dodging, no other tricks! Shao Xuan directly and rudely rushed over!
With every step Shao Xuan took, the ground shook. As Shao Xuan ran, the entire area began to shake. It made Si feel as if he was stepping on waves, unsteady on his feet. He did not know how to exert his strength. Under such an attack, he could not even execute 30% of his movement techniques!
Si's heart skipped a beat. Shao Xuan's momentum had exceeded his expectations. The moment he saw Shao Xuan's explosive attack, he knew that he might not be able to block this round of attacks.
When a ferocious beast attacked its prey, anyone with a little bit of hunting experience would know how fast and powerful its charge was. Shao Xuan's charge was much stronger than those famous ferocious beasts in the forest!
Feeling the power of the blade, Si's heart raced uncontrollably. If there was enough light, one would be able to see that Si's face was as pale as a sheet.
Clang clang clang!
Bam bam!
Two powerful forces collided. The entire floor felt like it was about to be lifted up. Qu Li, Ci Du and the rest felt an earthquake beneath their feet.
The flying sparks converged into a glaring line of fire, breaking through the darkness. It was as if one's vision was being scorched.
The power transmitted from the cross hilt to Si's arms instantly spread throughout his body. His arms were numb.
Tsk tsk!
Countless tears appeared on Si's black robe. The torn fabric was swept high into the air before being shredded by the surging airflow.
Si was pushed back dozens of meters. His knees were already sunk into the ground. His hair, disheveled by the wind, stood up diagonally behind him. Before the cold sweat could form, it flew back along his forehead as soon as it appeared.
The whirring sound of Si Saber stopped.
The saber in Shao Xuan's hand was like a steel bar stuck into a spinning fan blade, stopping its rotation.
Bam!
One of the horizontal bars of Si Saber's cross hilt was cut off!
The falling horizontal bar hit the ground with a dull thud. It was like a heavy blow to Si's chest, making him want to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Qu Li and the rest who had avoided the battle due to their inability to hold on looked at Gan Qie who was still torturing Si Saber. Then, they looked at Shao Xuan who had chopped off the handle of the legendary Si Saber and fell silent.
Forget it, all they had to do was protect themselves. They shouldn't add to the chaos.
Although they didn't want to admit it, the reality was that Shao Xuan and Gan Qie were monsters on a different level from them.
Suddenly, Ci Du's gaze froze. He nudged Lu Zhai who was beside him with his elbow.
"Speak!" Lu Zhai was watching the battle anxiously. He was startled by Ci Du so his tone was naturally unpleasant. Although there was no need for them to interfere, it was always good to be on guard. He didn't want to listen to Ci Du's nonsense.
"Look over there." Ci Du pointed at a spot not far behind Gan Qie.
Lu Zhai was about to take a quick glance before retracting his gaze. However, when he looked over, his eyes widened in disbelief. He stared hard for two seconds before stuttering, "Where … where is he?"
Qu Li and Mu Fa also looked over in confusion. They were equally stunned.
All they saw was a cocoon-like ball of rope on the rock where Robber Seven was placed. However, Robber Seven, who was originally tied up inside, was nowhere to be seen. They thought that Robber Seven had hidden his head away so when Gan Qie was almost done torturing Si Saber, they took the opportunity to take a closer look.
There was no one!
"It's empty!" Qu Li exclaimed.
Looking around, Robber Seven was nowhere to be seen.
Gan Qie who was in the midst of torturing Si Saber: "…"
Where was that little thief?
