Chapter 265 (2/2)

But of course, cannibals never feared death anyway. Looking at Xiong Lu charging at him, Xiang Shaoyun could see that with each step the cannibal took, a deep footprint was etched on the ground. From this, it could be seen how powerful this cannibal was.

Before Xiong Lu even neared, he swung his bone club at Xiang Shaoyun's head. There was a layer of brutal energy surrounding the club, enhancing the attack to make it comparable in power to the attack of a ninth-stage Transformation Realm cultivator.

That was why the cannibals were so powerful, and those incapable of resisting their attacks would die. Faced with this attack, Xiang Shaoyun still did not use his weapon. He used his exquisite footwork and avoided the attack before stepping forward and sending a flaming claw at the cannibal.

Clank!

The claw struck the cannibal's energy barrier, creating some sparks as a crisp grinding sound rang out. A small crack was left on the energy barrier, but the attack failed to deal any significant damage to the cannibal.

What a terrifying defense, Xiang Shaoyun cried out inwardly.

His claw attack could kill even ninth-stage Transformation Realm cultivators, yet this cannibal was able to shake it off that easily. It was truly quite shocking. During the short instant Xiang Shaoyun was blanking out, Xiong Lu roared and swept his bone club at Xiang Shaoyun again.

Xiang Shaoyun quickly reacted and bent down before sweeping his leg at Xiong Lu. Although Xiong Lu had great physical strength, his agility was obviously somewhat lacking in comparison. He wasn't able to react in time and started falling to the ground from the sweep to his legs.

While he was dropping to the ground, Xiang Shaoyun jabbed at him with a finger laced with Yun Flame's power. It instantly tore through Xiong Lu's defense and entered his body.

”AHHHH!”

The burning attack caused Xiong Lu to wail in pain. Xiang Shaoyun did not let that opening go as he followed up by repeatedly stomping Xiong Lu's body. Xiong Lu was completely helpless against the flame attack, and combined with Xiang Shaoyun's repeated stomps, it was highly unlikely he would survive.

”b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Everyone, go together and tear him apart!” howled the leader of the cannibals.

The leader's name was Xiong Huo, and he was the strongest of the cannibals present. He was at the peak ninth-stage Transformation Realm and was in charge of keeping watch here. Thus, he would not allow any mishaps to happen on his watch. As for why Xiong Huo wasn't attacking, it wasn't because he was being careless. It was simply because he was unwilling to lower himself to deal with a lowly human.

Three cannibals that were no weaker than seventh-stage Transformation Realm attacked Xiang Shaoyun together. Although they were rather simple-minded, that did not mean they were unaware of how strong Xiang Shaoyun was. Thus, they did not recklessly approach him, and they instead attacked at range.

Three clumps of brutal energy were blasted toward Xiang Shaoyun. Even before the clumps of brutal energy arrived, they were already giving off an extreme sense of discomfort, causing one to start feeling jittery. Perhaps it was because Xiang Shaoyun had inhaled the air polluted with brutal energy, or perhaps it was a different reason, but his mood started turning sour.

”Die!” Xiang Shaoyun finally drew his Purple Lightning Saber and started slas.h.i.+ng around madly.

The two different energies met and exploded. The shockwave expanded outward, turning all the stones in the area into powder. Wielding his saber, Xiang Shaoyun charged at the cannibals, slas.h.i.+ng left and right repeatedly, clas.h.i.+ng with their clubs.

With Xiang Shaoyun fully unleas.h.i.+ng his combat prowess and with the Purple Lightning Saber being a king-grade weapon, the bone clubs were instantly sliced apart. The saber proceeded to slice the bodies of the three cannibals, causing their blood to spray everywhere.

But amid the rain of blood, a brutal aura filled the air, causing Xiang Shaoyun's eyes to turn bloodshot. It was at this moment that Xiong Huo appeared noiselessly behind him before swinging the bone club down at him.
