The golden-furred lion lay on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. Even after seeing that Gu Xuan and Dongfang Xue had truly disappeared, it didn't dare to let its guard down. Only after lying on the ground for a full hour did it heave a long sigh of relief.
Looking at the identity jade badge in its paw, the golden lion soon felt sad again.
Not only did the enemy not kill it, they did not even take away its identity jade badge.
They were looking down on humans too much. No, they were looking down on beasts too much.
"Damn it, I, the golden lion, have actually fallen to such a state of being looked down upon!
I can't admit defeat. I want to become stronger. I don't want to tremble at the feet of others anymore! "
The golden lion stood up straight and raised its front paws above its head, as if it was swearing to express its lofty ambition at this moment!
However, right at this moment, a streak of light landed in front of it.
It was a man wearing a mask.
The golden lion maintained its standing posture and stared blankly at the person who came. After being stunned for a moment, it finally lay down in front of the man with a thud, trembling uncontrollably.
The oath it had just made had already scattered with the wind.
"Honorable sir, what are your orders?"
The golden lion's voice was trembling.
He felt that this man in front of him seemed to be even more terrifying than Gu Xuan who was ranked first just now.
The masked man was naturally Zhuge Wuwo. He had chased Gu Xuan here.
"You saw Gu Xuan just now, right?
Tell me exactly what happened at that time. Don't make a single mistake.
Otherwise, die! "
The word "die" was powerful and resonant, causing the golden lion's body and mind to tremble, as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
At this moment, Gu Xuan and Dongfang Xue were already in a catacomb under a mountain.
"Why did you change direction just now?
You even created a clone and continued to fly forward? "
Dongfang Xue looked at Gu Xuan with some confusion.
Just 15 minutes ago, Gu Xuan suddenly changed the direction of his flight and went far away from his original route.
He was not in a hurry to do so. He even deliberately created a clone and continued to fly forward for a long time. Until now, he had not dispelled it.
And the two of them came to this catacomb.
"Of course it's to confuse others. I feel as if someone has been following us.
He is not within the range of my detection, but I am certain that such a person exists.
So, I did a little trick.
To be able to follow me without me noticing, it's best to avoid such an expert. "
Gu Xuan explained solemnly as he looked into the depths of the cave.
Dongfang Xue's expression shifted slightly.
In the end, his strength was still too weak.
With Gu Xuan's strength, why would he need to avoid other powerhouses?
He just didn't want him to be in too much danger.
"Then, did you come to this Catacombs because you discovered something?
Is there anyone with a ranking here? "
Dongfang Xue also cast her gaze into the depths of the cave.
Over there, it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see the exact situation inside.
This wasn't normal.
Not to mention that they were Profound Sages, even ordinary Sage Realm powerhouses would be able to see the situation in the distance no matter how dark the environment was.
If he really couldn't see clearly, then it definitely wasn't because of the darkness.
"Come out, Giant Scythe Mantis, ranked 19th.
If you know what's good for you, not only will I spare your life, but I will also bestow upon you a great opportunity. "
Gu Xuan looked at the darkness with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked like an expert who had seen through everything.
Dongfang Xue rolled her eyes at Gu Xuan with slight disdain. Do you have to pretend like this?
Gu Xuan rolled his eyes at Dongfang Xue. What do you know?
The two didn't speak, but they used their eyes to let each other know what they meant.
"What shameless boasting. Bestow upon me a great opportunity?
I'm hiding here because I'm ranked 19th, and that's enough for me.
I have no intention of fighting for first place, but if someone comes to me voluntarily, I don't mind cutting them down with my scythe!
Even if you're ranked first, as long as you're not a high-rank Profound Sage, you can only die! "
The voice of the Giant Scythe Mantis was filled with confidence.
A mid-rank Profound Sage aura whizzed out from the darkness like a gust of wind, sweeping Gu Xuan and Dongfang Xue away.
Dongfang Xue's expression darkened.
This Giant Scythe Mantis was indeed worthy of being ranked 19th. Just this aura alone wasn't inferior to any mid-rank Profound Sage beast.
Its strength was most likely already at the peak of mid-stage Profound Sages.
It was even half a step away from becoming a high-rank Sage Realm existence!
No wonder it was so confident and didn't even put Gu Xuan, who was ranked first, in its eyes.
"Be careful!"
Gu Xuan reminded Dongfang Xue. His figure moved, and he appeared behind Dongfang Xue.
Right at this moment, a giant scythe pierced through the ground behind Dongfang Xue and attacked her!
Dongfang Xue sensed the attack behind her, and she broke out in cold sweat.
It was only now that she realized that the Giant Scythe Mantis was releasing its aura in the darkness to confuse the two of them while sneaking behind her to launch a sneak attack.
If Gu Xuan wasn't here, even if she didn't die from this sneak attack, she would've been seriously injured.
Fortunately, Gu Xuan was here.
Gu Xuan protected Dongfang Xue behind him. Golden light blossomed from his left hand, and he gently reached forward. His index and middle fingers caught the tip of the giant scythe between them.
"What? How is this possible? You blocked my attack with just your fingers? "
The Giant Scythe Mantis underground was stunned. It couldn't believe what was happening in front of its eyes.
Its giant scythe was three meters long, as long as its entire body. Every time it launched an attack, the force at the tip of the scythe was undoubtedly the greatest.
It could even easily pierce through space.
Even if it was a high-level Profound Sage, as long as it wasn't a body refiner, it could easily injure or even kill them once it got close.
However, Gu Xuan actually blocked its attack with just two fingers.
"Blocked? Do you think it's just blocked? "
Gu Xuan exerted a little force with his left hand.
The Giant Scythe Mantis was pulled out of the ground by Gu Xuan.
"Crack."
The tip of the giant scythe was directly broken by Gu Xuan's fingers.
"How is this possible?"
The Giant Scythe Mantis felt a sharp pain, and it was stunned.
Its giant scythe was comparable to a high-grade Profound Insight spirit treasure. How could it be broken so easily?
Just how great was Gu Xuan's strength?
However, although it was shocked, the Giant Scythe Mantis' attack didn't slow down at all.
The tip of the giant scythe on its right side had been broken, but it didn't lose its attacking power. The giant scythe on its left side was intact.
Next, it attacked with both scythes. It must cut off Gu Xuan's head!
"You're courting death by dragging me out!
I'm invincible in close combat!
Since you dared to break the tip of my scythe, you'll pay with your life! "
A strong murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Giant Scythe Mantis.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The two scythes attacked together, making a whistling sound. The power was so strong that even the space was cut open!
Gu Xuan smiled slightly.
"It's good that you have the ambition to kill me.
Otherwise, you won't even have the courage to attack me like that lion. That's bad.
But I think your anger isn't enough!
It seems that I still need to help you! "Gu Xuan's right hand was still behind his back. He wanted to block the attack of the Giant Scythe Mantis with one hand.
