Chapter 568: Trapped (1/2)

Sam looked at the two of them, who are ready to make a move one more time. He knew why they are trying to attack him. He is the most high-profile person and his exploits are known to all of them.

In the last Palace of inheritance, he kept his identity hidden for various reasons, and most important of all of them is to avoid the attention of the major powers. After all, they are all focusing on him at that moment, with him being in conflict with many of them.

At the same time, he wanted to get as much advantage over the rest of the players as he can. But this time, he didn't bother because his name was spread all over the nation. If he didn't want to make business running in this world and he was fond of this world's resources, he would have definitely kept a low profile. But he has too many things to worry about. That is why decided not to hide his identity.

Now this made him the main target. These players already had quite a hard time when Sam only used some of his abilities the previous time which means he is the one they are most worried about since he didn't have any restraints and naturally he became their common target and the first one at that.

Sam didn't care though, he looked at them and smiled once again as he took out the staff.

He stood in his place and was in a defensive position. It has been a long time since he had a proper battle, so he would satisfy all his cravings today and he even had some improvement recently.

As for why he is not being offensive, the reason is simple, both of these people have an edge in terms of cultivation.

Sam is only a Level-6 Nascent stage cultivator at the moment, but these two people are Level-7. It would have been no different if he faced the regular people, but these two are the Players. If not for the rift between the middle stage and the late stage, he would have been more confident and proactive. But that was not shown on his face.

All the opponents could see is his relaxed expression and the smug smile on his face.

Kumar is the first to make a move. He held his spear as he lunged at Sam as he exchanged a meaningful glance with Noah.

He stabbed the spear straight at Sam's heart going for the skill. At the same time, Noah threw some seeds on the ground and small red sprouts could be seen on that spot, but all of a sudden some vines came from underneath the ground near Sam's feet.

They coiled his feet completely and Sam couldn't move, as he looked at his feet he could see that the red vines are going rampant and are still growing denser and denser as they tied his legs tighter and tighter.

Sam's legs suddenly blasted out some golden flames, but to his surprise, the vines didn't burn off. As he was distracted a bit, the spear almost made contact with his heart, but Sam bent his body backward at an unnatural angle as if he doesn't even have a spine.

And to reduce the stress on his spine, he stabbed the staff into the ground and held it tightly as he placed all the burden on it.

Kumar is no joke as he changed the direction of the spear and moved downwards after stabbing without calling it back.

Sam used the staff as a support and spiritual energy burst into the vines as golden light enveloped them before they were abruptly cut into pieces by the light beams.

After releasing himself, Sam used that staff as the support and kicked the spear off with his legs and pushing the man back.

But as he was about to land, he noticed that another batch of vines appeared right at his landing spot.

Sam chuckled and with his incredible dexterity, changed his direction and somersaulted in the air before landing on the staff that was planted right into the ground. He stood there within an incredible balance and he looked at the two of them.

He was now ready to move, the only reason he waited this long is to check the disparity between them and him and he noticed that there is not much, his deficit in cultivation was covered by his physical strength and refinement. He can still beat them like before.

Sam thought of this and jumped down, wind elemental energy surrounded him as he pulled out his staff from the ground and started spinning it in his hands.

Kumar jumped at him and attacked with his spear and both of them started clashing, but Sam's tailwind blades technique which makes the tailwind of every attack into a wind blade is an irritating one. Even though the attacks are not significantly damaging, the accumulation of these small damages will make him suffer.
