On a towering ancient tree not far away, a burly man with a bare upper body was hidden in the thick leaves, overhearing the conversation between Zhou Wei and the rest clearly.
A cold glint flashed through the burly man's eyes.
A gust of wind blew past, and the leaves rustled. The strong man slid down from the ancient tree. His movements were light, and he silently landed on the ground. He crouched down and used both his hands and feet to push through the grass, moving stealthily in the direction of Zhou Wei and the others.
The grass that was half a man's height hid the burly man's figure perfectly.
Looking down, one would only feel the grass and trees swaying gently as though a gust of wind had blown past. A thin line glided on the ground – it was impossible to tell that it was a person!
"Senior Brother Zhou, shall we split up and search?"
"I think so too. That Su Zimo is only at Level 5 Qi Condensation. Any one of us can capture him easily."
Zhou Wei nodded. "Let's do that. Everyone, split up and search!"
"What are you guys looking for?"
The moment Zhou Wei said that, a hoarse voice with a hint of coldness sounded from behind him.
For Qi Refinement Warriors, unless absolutely necessary, they would not fly too far even if they used Sword Kinesis Flight – at most two to three meters.
The higher the distance, the more spirit qi they would expend.
At that moment, behind Zhou Wei, a burly man with a bare upper body stood up. He was more than two meters tall and his muscles were as hard as rocks, filled with explosive power. It was as though a deity had suddenly descended with a murderous expression!
Instantly, Zhou Wei was scared out of his wits.
He did not realize that someone was approaching him!
Suddenly, the burly man reached out and grabbed Zhou Wei's ankle, dragging him down. Right in front of the four Spirit Peak disciples, he slammed him onto the ground!
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
A human-shaped pit appeared on the ground.
Zhou Wei, who was at Level 9 Qi Condensation, was like a three-year-old baby in the hands of the burly man, unable to retaliate at all.
Zhou Wei lay paralyzed in the huge pit, spitting out blood foam from his mouth. His eyes were rolled back, and half of the bones in his body were broken. His internal organs were shaken, and he fainted on the spot. Only his body was still twitching unconsciously.
The burly man knocked Zhou Wei unconscious. In a flash, he appeared in front of the other two Level 8 Qi Refinement Warriors.
The two disciples of Spirit Peak were startled. Without hesitation, they wanted to leap into the air.
But unexpectedly, the burly man's speed was even faster. With a leap, he directly pulled the two of them down from the air.
Boom! Boom!
It was the same scene again.
The two Spirit Peak disciples were thrown to the ground by the burly man and fainted on the spot.
"Quick!"
The remaining two disciples of Spirit Peak were pale as they summoned their flying swords and pointed at the burly man. Their flying swords turned into a streak of light and arrived instantly.
One of the flying swords pierced the muscular man's glabella while the other pierced the muscular man's chest. They were both vital points!
The burly man grinned maliciously. He didn't even try to dodge. Instead, he charged forward.
When they saw that, the two Spirit Peak disciples heaved a sigh of relief.
In the end, this mysterious burly man's spiritual wisdom had yet to be developed. He only had brute force, but he did not know the power of cultivation techniques. He did not even know how to dodge the flying sword.
Clang! Clang!
Close in, the flying swords struck the burly man's glabella and chest. The sound of metal clashing could be heard!
The flying swords were repelled!
Unharmed, the burly man charged forward to the two of them instead.
"Mon, mon, monster!"
One of the Spirit Peak disciples was so scared that his voice was trembling and his face was pale. In fact, he had even forgotten to escape.
The other Spirit Peak disciple hurriedly controlled the flying sword beneath his feet to turn and flee.
With a casual punch, the burly man sent the Spirit Peak disciple who was rooted to the spot flying. Sprinting on the ground, his legs crisscrossed, leaving afterimages as he caught up to the Spirit Peak disciple in a few steps.
With a leap, the burly man leaped back and forth on a few towering ancient trees, increasing his height continuously.
"Come on down!"
The burly man burst into laughter and grabbed the person's calf, pulling him down from the skies.
Snap!
The person's calf was snapped on the spot by the burly man's grip.
"Ah! Ah! Ahhh! "
The person was in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat and howled.
Carrying the person, the burly man returned to his original spot and grabbed the remaining four people who had fainted. Carrying three in one hand and two in the other, he sprinted outside in huge strides.
"W-Who are you?"
"We're disciples of Ethereal Sect! How dare you attack us? If the sect finds out about this, they won't let you off easily!"
The only disciple who was conscious was Guo Chong as he yelled at the burly man.
The burly man did not say anything and merely continued to travel through the forest.
Increasingly afraid, Guo Chong asked with a trembling voice, "W-Where are you taking us?"
"Hero, please let us go!"
"Hero, I know my mistake."
Suddenly, the burly man stopped in his tracks and lowered his head. Glaring at Guo Chong coldly, he asked coldly, "What did you do wrong?"
"I-I-I …"
Guo Chong was stunned by the question.
He had merely blurted it out in a moment of desperation and did not know what he did wrong.
Guo Chong lamented internally. He did not know where this burly man came from, but he attacked without saying anything and was so strong that it was unreasonable.
Their cultivation methods were completely useless against this burly man!
After stopping in his tracks, the burly man tossed the five of them on the ground casually and turned to leave without saying anything.
A look of disbelief appeared on Guo Chong's face.
They survived?
The burly man did not kill them!
Guo Chong looked around. This was outside Great Rock Forest. For some reason, the burly man brought them out of Great Rock Forest and tossed them here casually before leaving just like that.
"May I know your name and which sect are you from, burly man?" Guo Chong was indignant as he shouted once more.
Stopping in his tracks, the burly man suddenly turned around and returned.
Shuddering, Guo Chong wanted to slap himself a few times as he hurriedly said, "Hero, I know my mistake this time round. I shouldn't have asked for your name …"
The burly man walked up to Guo Chong and the others and grabbed their storage bags. Opening them, he took out the spirit stones and elixirs inside and put them all into his own storage bag.
Looking at his storage bag that was almost emptied, Guo Chong wanted to cry but no tears came out.
Snickering, the burly man turned and charged into Great Rock Forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
With trembling hands, Guo Chong opened his storage bag slowly and took out a paper crane. Using his spirit qi, he wrote on it, "We were attacked in Great Rock Forest. The enemy is strong and has a mysterious identity. Please send reinforcements to the sect!"
Injecting spirit qi, the spirit crane flapped its wings and flew, turning into a streak of light that disappeared into the void.
Right now, he was injured and could not bring the four of them back. As such, he could only wait here for reinforcements from the sect.
Looking at his four fellow sect mates who were still unconscious, Guo Chong was filled with sorrow.
At the thought of how his savings over the past few years were swept clean by this mysterious burly man who appeared out of nowhere, Guo Chong could not help but howl, "I'm innocent!"
