Chapter 18 - Rank Three Beast (2/2)

Ying Sumian looked towards the wound, calculating its effects and strength, she didn't have a good expression on her face. ”We need to amputate.” She said decisively. However, her words caused Bai Dongzhe to feel like it was dropped into a cold pool. Amputation was a drastic course of action that would affect him his entire life and even his cultivation. With his backing and strength, it would be near impossible to find the medicine which can regrow limbs. This may save his life, but turn him into a cripple.

Hearing this, even his brother was shocked, but the other two girls didn't have as shocked of a reaction, as if expecting this outcome. Xing Xuehan even poured fuel on the fire that was their panic, ”If we don't do so soon, it's possible we may have to do so later, but even more of the leg...or other parts.”

Despite what she said may be the truth, it didn't stop Bai Wangzhe from shooting her a gaze filled with killing intent. It seemed this bitch of a woman likely held some responsibility for his younger brother's injury. One could just see that he'd like nothing more than to rip her throat apart.

Seeing this, Ying Sumian intervened, ”She's right. However, this is your choice.”

”W-we...brother…we may have a chance to save my leg!” Bai Dongzhe obviously didn't wish to ruin his future with this course of action. If he did, what would be the point in even living? Seeing his brother's reaction, Bai Wangzhe didn't respond, his expression turned solemn.

”I thi-”

ROAR!!!

A sound thundered off in the distance. It startled every one of the members, and their expressions showed a mixture of fear and solemness. This roar was incredibly familiar to them, and it had claimed lives of their group before, hunting them continuously the last few days.

Katori Lesser Dragon!!!

A Katori was a lizard with faint traces of dragon bloodline, and they were incredibly vicious hunters. They wouldn't let off their prey if they've honed on to them until they were all dead. It had black scales, a great maw filled with sharp teeth, claws that could shred through tree bark like paper and the ability to spew a concentrated beam of wood-energy. It had the strength of a peak rank three beasts, sitting solidly in the peak-mid Essence Formation. In the Basilisk Forest, there weren't many, but the few that there was become nightmares for weak hunting teams like these five.

The stomping of its large body resounded in the forest as trees were toppled in its mad dash, and it wasn't long before it clashed with the barrier formation set up by Ying Sumian and treated it like paper, piercing through with little obstruction.

”Shit, we have to run!” Xing Xuehan hysterically screamed. However, she couldn't move. The roar had been a soul attack that affected her, causing temporary paralysis. For her, with no soul cultivation, this was especially effective. Only Ying Sumian and Bai Wangzhe, with their strong Qi cultivations, were capable of resisting, but they were still affected.

It didn't take long before the Katori appeared before them.

Just when they were all wallowing in despair, a shadow appeared beside the large lizard head of the Katori.

”Great Yan Fist!”

A masculine voice bellowed out, and the shadow's fist collided fiercely with the Katori's dome. A soul-shattering sound resounded followed by bits and pieces of brain matter and bone fragments shot out from the point of contact. Its scales crushed inwards, and the Katori howled hysterically in pain. The last howl it would ever release.

A hard thud resounded followed by the skidding of its body due to its running momentum.

The Katori, in its final moments of conscious life, looked around to see the group of individuals it was hunting. For the first time in its life, it had regretted hunting humans. If he left them be, would he have followed them and met this monster?

Its thoughts couldn't be understood by any of the five. They were just completely and utterly stunned speechless.

The shadow from earlier slowly walked towards the Katori's corpse, cranking his neck and muttering to himself. He was adorned in black robes befitting of a cultivator, but not a hunter of Basilisk Forest, as not a speck of armor was located on his body. His appearance wasn't incredibly attractive, but it wasn't ugly either. He was a little bit thin, but that was passable considering his healthy cheeks and vibrant amber eyes. It was Yan Zaizen!

”This thing sure knows how to run.” He carelessly commented.
