Chapter 124: Narrowly Escaping Death
This attack was the golden lightning marten’s last-ditch life-saving move. Only if the opponent’s strength far surpassed it, it would never use this move. With its speed, as long as it could hold up its enemy for a moment, that would buy it enough time to get away.
That was the current situation. Lu Xuan’s Rushing Thunder Flash, although it had successfully dodged the attack, at the same time, it gave the golden lightning marten a path to escape.
Without Lu Xuan blocking it, and after losing a large portion of its fur, the golden lightning marten didn’t linger around and shot out. Its escaping direction just happened to be where Xia Ye and the other two were.
Lu Xuan seemed to suddenly thinking of something. Immediately circulating Rushing Thunder Flash, he quickly charged over, at the same time loudly shouting: “Let it run, don’t move against it!”
He had already clearly understood the golden lightning marten’s strength. With its speed, Xia Ye and the other two absolutely weren’t its opponent. When the moment came, if they tried to block the golden lightning marten, then those three definitely wouldn’t get away without injuries. Compared to that, Lu Xuan would prefer to not complete the mission.
Originally, seeing the golden lightning marten charging over, Xia Ye and Xing Feng were already preparing to make their moves. The way they saw it, the golden lightning marten had already suffered so many heavy injuries, even if it was even stronger, they should be able to block it for a moment without problem.
However, since Lu Xuan specifically warned them right now, naturally he had his reasons. Thus the two of them ceased their thought about making a move and stayed where they were without moving, prepared to let the golden lightning marten escape.
However, once it had charged over to near where the three were, the golden lightning marten suddenly shook its body, then actually proactively charged towards where the three were.
Under Lu Xuan’s hands it had eaten a large loss. Not only did it lose its battle trophy, it had even suffered grievous wounds, and even had been forced to use its life-saving measure. The strength difference was too large, the golden lightning maren was hateful beyond measure. It couldn’t get revenge itself on Lu Xuan, so it decided at least finish off two of Lu Xuan’s companions as revenge.
Damn!
Lu Xuan’s eyes went red as he started bursting out with yuan force. Rushing Thunder Flash flashed again, its speed was increased to its limit!
The golden lightning marten’s sudden ambush was entirely out of the three’s expectations. They hadn’t thought this animal would actually be so brutal. It would prefer to risk the danger from Lu Xuan to act against them.
Xing Feng’s reaction was the quickest. With a loud shout, he quickly blocked the front, his long sword flashing, directly aiming at the golden lightning marten.
The golden lightning marten had already suffered heavy injuries, its speed was less than before. Xing Feng’s sword stroke actually blocked its forward charging path, however, in the end it was still an existence comparable to a seventh level ferocious beast. It twisted its body in midair, not losing any of its speed, and then continued to go towards the back where Xia Ye and Lin Xin Yi were. It steeled its mind to bring suffering to at least one for the fault of another.
“Mother*, do you think I’m easy to bully?!” Xia Ye angrily roared, his long sword swept out horizontally, intending to force the golden lightning marten away, but the golden lightning marten’s speed was truly too fast. It actually cleverly landed on Xia Ye’s long sword.
On the sword’s body, its front paws clawed towards Xia Ye’s neck!
In this moment, Xia Ye’s eyes were completely straight. He had never felt the threat of death so close to him. He could even clearly see the five sharp nails that were like needles on the golden lightning marten’s claws. He believed that it would only need a light swipe and his throat would be instantly torn apart and instantly kill him.
But in the nick of time, the golden lightning marten’s attack was suddenly diverted. The claw left five streaks of deep scratches on Xia Ye’s shoulder, causing blood to flow out like a river.
Suddenly in pain, Xia Ye immediately recovered from his trance. I’m still not dead! Although his shoulder was in pain, but it couldn’t be considered much compared to being dead.
The person who had saved Xia Ye’s life was Lin Xin Yi. Although her strength wasn’t vast, the golden lightning marten’s defense wasn’t that strong either. The move just now was the Flowing Water Sword Tactic’s lift tactic. The long sword had fiercely lifted up, directly attacking the golden lightning marten’s stomach. Receiving the impact of this attack, the golden lightning marten’s sure kill blow was diverted. It missed slicing open his neck and only hit the shoulder.
The three of them together finally countered the golden lightning marten’s wave of fierce offense. Xing Feng had blocked its charging power, Xia Ye had blocked its attack, and Lin Xin Yi had broken its sure kill at the end.
With just this delay in time, Lu Xuan who had raised his speed to its limit finally arrived!
“Die!”
An explosive roar came out of Lu Xuan’s mouth. The Lovesick sword seemed to turn into a blur, immediately heading towards the golden lightning marten. The sword point stabbed multiple times in a row. Each sword stroke pierced the weakest parts of the golden lightning marten, the neck, the eyes, the stomach…
More importantly, in each of these sword strokes there contained all of Lu Xuan’s sword intent. Sword intent invaded, and in a moment, the golden lightning marten’s innards had been torn to pieces. It wasn’t even able to utter a cry before it died. With a bang, its corpse feel to the ground without any strength.
“I thought I was gonna die…” Xia Ye’s left hand was holding onto his right shoulder. His pale face managed to squeeze out a smile. Thinking back now, he still couldn’t help but feel his whole body lose strength. So that was the feeling of facing imminent death.
