Chapter 189: Attack of The Colossal Beast (2/2)

Before she could pass through the 7th floor entrance she paused then turned around.

”Who's there?”

There was no response.

”If you don't come out, I'll bring you out by force!”

Xiao Hei finally came out of [ Stealth ] then walked out of hiding. Supreme Elder Quan was surprised to see Xiao Hei.

”Fei Lin, what are you doing here. Didn't anyone tell you this floor was strictly for elders?”

Xiao Hei shook her head.

”Ah, well I suppose it wasn't necessary since disciples weren't supposed to be able to see through this illusion,” she said as she looked back at the illusory wall.

Supreme Elder Quan was about to take Xiao Hei back up to the 6th floor but then she realized something.

”Fei Lin, where's your group?”

”...” Xiao Hei didn't reply.

”Did you come with a group?”

”...” she shook her head hesitantly.

”A partner?”

”...” Xiao Hei eventually nodded, but she still stayed quiet.

Elder Quan didn't understand why Xiao Hei was being so quiet. The last time she saw her she was acting so brazenly and wasn't afraid to talk back to her despite her status.

”Forget it, we can look for your partner once I take you back up to the 6th floor.”

”Elder, wait,” Xiao Hei finally spoke.

Xiao Hei knew that Xiao Fang preferred to do things in secret, but she had been waiting for him for more than 24 hours. Eventually, she couldn't help but think that he was in trouble.

”My partner is in there,” Xiao Hei said as she pointed to the 7th floor entrance.

Supreme Elder Quan's eyes widened in shock.

”How could your partner be so foolish!?”

”Elder, please help my friend. I think they might be in trouble.” Xiao Hei said with a worried expression on her face.

The Supreme elder sighed. She didn't think there was a chance an inner court disciple could survive long on this floor.

”Alright, I'll look for your partner, but whatever you do, you mustn't pass through this entrance.”

In the next moment the Supreme Elder disappeared.

”Xiao Fang, please be safe.”

...

The Supreme Elder went looking through the forest but she couldn't find an inner court disciple's body anywhere. This was a large floor, so it could take weeks to explore all of it even at her speed.

When she saw the cut down trees, she paused.

'There was a fight here, but where's the body?'

She followed the clues till she made it out of the forest. The Elder frowned.

'She couldn't have gotten far.'

Just like that, the Supreme Elder continued her search for the missing disciple.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fang stood at the center of the lake as he waited for the colossal beast to arrive. He then reached up and took his blindfold off.

This was the first time Xiao Fang was going to fight against a beast that could move faster than sound. Relying on his ears would only hold him back.

In the next moment, the colossal beast jumped into the air.

”Rooaaar!!”

The colossal beast catapulted itself into the lake so hard it created a 50 meter wave that threatened to swallow Xiao Fang whole, but before it could hit, he swung his sword down while releasing profound lightning qi. It split the wave in half then cut right through the colossal beast that was on the other side. Suddenly, the beast dispersed into a mist of qi.

”What!?” Xiao Fang had never heard of a beast that could use cultivation techniques. So he almost couldn't believe what he saw.

'If that wasn't the real body, then-'

Xiao Fang didn't need to think about it because Xiao Hei had pulled the same stunt on him back in the rental cultivation room.

Xiao Fang immediately jumped out of the away, then a massive hand shot out of the water where he last was.

The beast seemed to have a smug look on it's face when it thought it grabbed Xiao Fang, but it turned out to be nothing but his illusory clone. Suddenly it could feel a stinging feeling on the back of its fingers. It was cut.

When it looked down, it could see Xiao Fang frowning at it with his sword drawn. Although he had successfully dodged the colossal beast's attack and landed an attack on it, he was anything but satisfied. Xiao Fang's powerful attack had barely left a shallow wound on it. Relative to its size, it was more appropriate to call it a tiny scratch.

The colossal beast grinned as it stared down at Xiao Fang. This was going to be fun.
