“Old Peng, are they still tailing us?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
Elder Zhen Peng nodded. “Yes. They have been tailing us all this time. I think they are waiting for an opening before making their move.”
“Since they are waiting for an opening, let’s give them an opening. Elder Zhen Peng, leave with Xia Liuhui first. Let’s see if I am their actual target. When they show themselves, we can then deal with all of them at once,” Xiang Shaoyun said.
“Boss, what if I leave alone?” Xia Liuhui said.
“No, the two of you need to leave together. If Old Peng stays, they won’t dare to try anything,” Xiang Shaoyun said.
Elder Zhen Peng agreed with that line of thought. Thus, he nodded and left with Xia Liuhui.
“If it’s still the Wu Clan, perhaps it’s time to erase them from the Wu Town,” Xiang Shaoyun muttered with a ruthless glint in his eyes.
Xiang Shaoyun headed toward the less populated area of the town with Little White. He even increased the speed of his steps. The people tailing him immediately passed on a message to the others before quickly running after him. He headed outside the town at a moderate speed, one that was just enough for the people following him to keep up.
“Kid, stop right there!” a shout suddenly rang out behind him.
“W-who a-are you people? W-why are you c-chasing after me?” Xiang Shaoyun asked in panic.
Instead of stopping, he ran even faster. The group chasing after him were all mounted on demonic beasts, and there were more than ten of them.
“I say, stand right there! Disobey and you will die!” the leader of the group shouted. He was a Transformation Realm cultivator, and he was moving very quickly. At this point, Xiang Shaoyun was running with all his might.
The people behind Xiang Shaoyun were getting closer and closer when he suddenly noticed that there was a new group of people ahead of him. The new group was Wen Jinrui’s group he had met at the market earlier. His eyes lit up as he quickly shouted at Wen Jinrui, “Hold right there! This young master is here to teach you people a lesson!’
Wen Jinrui’s group had also noticed that a group of people was approaching, and when they saw Xiang Shaoyun pointing at them while shouting, they came to a conclusion that the group was there for them.
“Protect the young master!” shouted the old man beside Wen Jinrui.
“What is there to fear? If they dare try anything, kill them all. Do they really think a single King Realm cultivator is enough to face the Wen Clan?” Wen Jinrui said with a frown on his face.
“Since they have a King Realm cultivator working as a guard, they must have a rather powerful background as well. But if they do try to attack us, we’ll just fight them. We have nothing to fear,” the old man said.
“Stand right there!” shouted the group behind Xiang Shaoyun.
From the perspective of Wen Jinrui’s group, Xiang Shaoyun was chasing after them with a group of people, with the people behind Xiang Shaoyun being his underlings. That was why Wen Jinrui tensed up when he saw the approaching group.
“You sure are ballsy to try snatching something I have my eyes on. Time for you to suffer!” Xiang Shaoyun continued shouting. At this point, the group chasing Xiang Shaoyun was right behind him. Thus, it looked very much like he was leading them against Wen Jinrui’s group.
“Screw you! You might be the one to suffer instead! Kill!” Wen Jinrui was never a cowardly person. When he saw Xiang Shaoyun coming with a large group, he commanded his men to attack instead of waiting like sitting ducks.
The group behind Xiang Shaoyun was only there for him. But before they were given a chance to say anything, Wen Jinrui’s men were already assaulting them.
Xiang Shaoyun dodged an attack aimed at him. He slammed his palm into the attacker before shouting, “Kill! Go go go!”
“Kill! Kill them all!” Wen Jinrui thought Xiang Shaoyun really was trying to kill him and his men, so he also commanded his men to attack to kill.
As for the group chasing Xiang Shaoyun, they were completely caught by surprise. Only when one of them was killed did they start going mad as well.
“You dare attack us, members of the Mad Lion Hunting Group? Die!” the leader howled before charging toward Wen Jinrui’s men with his saber raised.
And thus, a chaotic battle broke out. The two groups fought valiantly while Xiang Shaoyun sneaked around the battlefield with his excellent footwork without actually getting involved in the fight.
“Ahhhh!”
The battle raged on as the two groups killed each other off. Blood sprayed everywhere.
While sneaking amid the chaos, Xiang Shaoyun did not forget to keep shouting for them to kill. Toward the end, a Transformation Realm expert nearly struck him. Fortunately, he was able to flee in time. Otherwise, he would’ve gotten himself killed.
“Damn, time for me to leave.” Xiang Shaoyun finally left the battlefield.
“Kid, stop right there! Kill him first!” commanded Wen Jinrui, seated on his mount.
At his command, the demonic beast charged Xiang Shaoyun. As a whole, Wen Jinrui’s group held the advantage in the battle. Although they had fewer people, the Transformation Realm experts they had were stronger.
The Transformation Realm experts worked together as they slaughtered the Mad Lion Hunting Group people one after another, to the point the people of the Mad Lion Hunting Group trembled with fear.
Wen Jinrui was an eighth-stage Astral Realm cultivator. Riding a mount that was a peak Intermediate Demon, he quickly caught up to Xiang Shaoyun before sending a flying blade toward Xiang Shaoyun’s back.
Sensing the danger, Xiang Shaoyun immediately bent down and narrowly avoided the sneak attack. At the exact instant he bent down, the demonic beast arrived and stomped down at him.
The demonic beast was a bear-type beast. Its stomp was extremely powerful, and if the attack landed, anyone would be turned into mincemeat. At this moment of crisis, Little White finally showed his prowess. He roared, releasing a roar of a king of beasts that shocked the bear so much it shivered and paused slightly.
Taking the opportunity of the bear pausing, Little White jumped on it and furiously bit at it.. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he took the opportunity to roll out of the way before standing up. After standing up, he sent an Astral Realm cultivator who had just arrived flying with a kick.
“Little White, don’t waste any time on them. Let’s go,” Xiang Shaoyun said.
Hearing that, Little White hopped away after tearing a piece of meat off the bear. He ran after Xiang Shaoyun.
“Damn it! Get him!” Wen Jinrui yelled.
Hearing the command, the Transformation Realm old man killed a random Mad Lion Hunting Group member near him before chasing after Xiang Shaoyun.
“Die!” yelled the old man as he clawed at Xiang Shaoyun.
An energy claw shot out of his hand and hurtled toward Xiang Shaoyun. If the attack hit, Xiang Shaoyun would definitely be turned into mincemeat.
“Elder Zhen Peng, where are you?” Xiang Shaoyun finally called for help after sensing a danger he couldn’t avoid.
“Those who dare harm my young master will die!” Elder Zhen Peng yelled as he appeared suddenly from the sky. He landed a kick on the old man’s head.
Bang!
The old man’s head exploded.
