Chapter 67: Controlling Demonic Beasts? (2/2)

After he said that, his body vanished from its original spot; a bright electrical light shone in the darkness. They could vaguely see Xiao Chen holding the Lunar Shadow Saber, jumping from tree branch to tree branch.

When the electrical light faded away, the forest returned to its previously dark state. The four people below could not see even a hazy figure; all they could see were swaying tree branches.

“Boom!”

A loud sound came from the top and a huge monster fell to the ground, causing the ground to tremble. The four people on the ground hastily retreated.

Xiao Chen did not immediately come down. Instead, he stood on a tree branch and smiled at the group, “It’s your turn to perform. Do not be careless or you might end up dying.”

The Fire Lizard had already stabilized itself before the four people managed to reply. When it saw them its hostility s.h.i.+fted and it swept its tail towards them.

The four of them hurriedly jumped and scattered. A red shadow headed towards Xiao Ling`er; it looked like a red ribbon in the air, and its speed was ridiculously fast.

What led Xiao Chen to feel surprised was that, despite Xiao Ling`er normally seeming weird, her reflexes were very fast. She pushed off the ground lightly with her feet and her body nimbly evaded the attack.

She even slashed at the red tongue, creating a wound at the instant she turned around. This Fire Lizard was obviously stronger than the ones that Xiao Chen had met before; the toughness of its tongue was very strong. Xiao Ling`er’s Spirit Weapon had no way to break it apart.

The four of them were being chased around by the Fire Lizard, cursing Xiao Chen in their hearts, feeling that he was very despicable. Many of them regretted choosing to follow Xiao Chen.

No one had expected that Xiao Chen would ignore them after attracting the Fire Lizard over. Those who were initially planning to rely on Xiao Chen regretted their decision.

Time slowly went by and something that caused the four of them to want to vomit blood happened. Xiao Chen took out a bottle of wine fromt the Universe Ring and started drinking on the tree branch.

“Xiao Chen, you are too despicable. After seeing that we are being chased in such a miserable manner, you are still not making any moves to help us!” finally someone below could no longer tolerate it and scolded him.

“Indeed! Brother Xiao Chen, you are too heartless. Ling`er originally liked you a little, but now, I hate the sight of you,” Xiao Ling`er said fiercely, but with a pout.

Xiao Chen did not reply and revealed a faint, indifferent smile. After they overcame the initial shock, they finally got into the pace of things.

They left wounds of varying degrees on the body of the Fire Lizard. After the four of them were hit by the Fire Lizard’s tail a few times, there were two who had a trickle of blood at the corners of their mouths.

However, Xiao Chen still did not make a move. This was their trial. If he made a move, then there would be no purpose to this. The martial path relied on the comprehensions one attained while they were in the middle of life and death situations; it could not be attained by the a.s.sistance of others.

“Bang!”

Xiao Ling`er was unable to evade once again and was. .h.i.t by the Fire Lizard’s tail. She spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, Xiao Chen felt that he could bear it no more.

However, something happened that surprised Xiao Chen. This girl did not cry out. Her pretty face was filled with an unswerving determination; she did not look like her usual, weird self.

“Martial Technique, Cloud Breaking Refres.h.i.+ng Breeze Chop.”

Xiao Ling`er actually used a Martial Technique in the air; it was truly unbelievable. The sword in her hands was like a Cloud Breaking Refres.h.i.+ng Breeze, and with a white flash, the Lizard Tail was chopped into two halves.

Xiao Ling`er landed firmly on the ground and wiped the blood off the corner of her lips. Then she made a face at Xiao Chen that caused him to fluctuate between laughter and tears.

“Shua!”

Another person exploded out and was able to break apart the Fire Lizard’s greatest weapon; its red tongue. Now, the Fire Lizard had lost two of its greatest moves. Everyone’s morale surged.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Everyone was excited and started to execute their Martial Techniques, exhausting their Essence. They actually managed to make this terrifying Demonic Beast attempt to beat a hasty retreat, and in a short while it no longer had its initial imposing look.

“Since I was chased by you so miserably earlier, I definitely have to kill you today!” one of the Xiao Clan cultivators, who had his behind smacked by the Lizard Tail twice before, said ruthlessly.

Just when the Fire Lizard was about to die, an ice arrow gave off a cold gleam and flew from a distant place. With a ‘shua’ sound, it killed the Fire Lizard. A cold Qi spread throughout the Fire Lizard’s body.

It caused all the black Qi in its body to be expelled. After that, the Fire Lizard instantly turned into an ice sculpture. The cold Qi was very threatening. Everyone was startled and did not understand what was going on.

“Bang!”

Xiao Chen leaped down from the tree and fired out a stream of purple flame, colliding with a second ice arrow coming from a distance, resulting in an intense explosion.

The ice disappeared into nothing, but the Purple Thunder True Fire did not weaken at all and continued to fly forward.

“Boom!”

After a while, there was another explosion coming from the front. There were the sounds of footsteps from a group of people coming towards them.
