‘Danger! Danger! Danger!’

Ou Yangming felt as if a signal rang in his head, and it could only mean one thing.

The slash from Yan Haobo was so dangerous that not only was it threatening his life, but he could actually be slashed in half.

Without hesitation, Ou Yangming decided not to care about the loopholes and the attack anymore. The purple light in his mind emitted an incredible radiance, and something seemed to be vibrating at the core of the light as though it was trying to come out of a sh.e.l.l.

Ou Yangming could not bother about the abnormality as he leaned back and tried his best to leap backward. Almost at the same time, he threw the military saber away like it was a hidden weapon. As long as he obstructed Yan Haobo for a short time, he would be out of danger.

In actual fact, he had another option too. He could stab Yan Haobo with his saber, and it would be covered in blood when he pulled it out after.

Nonetheless, he was not a fool. Dying together with Yan Haobo? One would be extremely foolish to go with that option.

“Ding…”

A saber-light was seen when Yan Haobo hit the military saber that flew to him. Instead of slowing down, he charged forward persistently.

The saber-light from his saber was bright, and his killing intent increased.

While it seemed like a moment of life or death at that moment, Ou Yangming calmed down.

The purple light in his mind was cold, but it tranquilized his mind, and the effect was especially obvious during a time like this.

Ou Yangming found it strange that he was completely calm because he was not at all fearful of the scary saber-light that was about to hit him.

It was as if his body was in an exceptionally wonderful state.

“Pow!”

Something deep in his mind shattered, and he suddenly gained somewhat familiar energy that was ready to cause trouble.

“Move!”

That was the thought that crossed Ou Yangming’s mind at that instant. Subsequently, his body twisted unbelievably, and he managed to dodge the violent saber-light that was aimed at him.

All lights vanished at once, and Yan Haobo who was holding his military saber looked at Ou Yangming in shock.

Needless to say, Yan Haobo was not going to endanger Ou Yangming’s life. It looked like he went all-out, but he actually left a leeway such that his saber would halt the instant it was very close to Ou Yangming’s body.

However, he was soon struck dumb. Just as he thought that he had control and that Ou Yangming could not dodge anymore, the fellow actually did a G.o.dlike slide to escape from his saber-light’s range.

It was strange because Ou Yangming did not look like he was dodging the attack himself. It seemed more like an invisible hand pulled his body forcefully to get him out of the saber-light’s range.

Yan Haobo had gooseb.u.mps when he witnessed the peculiar scene.

Afterward, Ou Yangming stood still a distance away from Yan Haobo, and the sense of crisis he felt went away like a tide.

When he took a deep breath, he felt so dizzy that he was about to fall to the ground.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming had practiced martial arts for a considerable amount of time. He had gained a robust body, as well as a strong will, thus he was able to get through the dizziness by gritting his teeth.

“Master Ou, that was a great move!” Yan Haobo remarked sincerely after he calmed down, “According to your performance, you can definitely join us at the dense forest.”

It was worth noting that he commented on Ou Yangming’s performance, not his cultivation base.

Ou Yangming forced a smile. “Thank you for your pointers, Squad Leader Yan.”

Yan Haobo twitched his mouth as wondered, ‘Pointers my *ss, more like you’re the one giving me pointers.’

Everyone witnessed the battle earlier. Yan Haobo was able to have a soaring momentum that could kill because he made an unreasonable decision that would cause both of them to be defeated. In terms of their understanding of techniques, he was actually inferior to Ou Yangming. Upon realizing that, Sui Hezhi and the others were resentful.

Later, Yan Haobo cleared his throat and mentioned, “Master Ou, my squad will be hunting in the forest after three days. Would you like to join us if you’re free?”

Ou Yangming was immediately spirited. “Yes, I apologize for the trouble in advance.”

Following that, Yan Haobo left with the others. Once they returned to the West Camp, he asked, “My boy, are you sure that he only started practicing martial arts three months ago?”

“I heard it from Captain Liu himself, why would I lie to you?” Sui Hezhi smiled bitterly. He then shook his head as he commented, “Actually, I don’t really believe it anymore.”

Yan Haobo pondered for a while before he said, “There really are gifted geniuses in the world. I initially thought that the legend was fake, but it seems possible now.”

Siu Hezhi was surprised. “What legend?”
