Chapter 192: Supreme Elder Quans Escape (2/2)

”Mn, I found a strong abnormal beast, but it got away from me. If Supreme Elder Quan was following my trail there's a chance she might run into it.”

Hearing her name, Xiao Hei briefly explained her interaction with the Supreme Elder at the entrance to him.

”I see. You did good by not mentioning my name,” Xiao Fang said.

”But why are we helping her?”

It was clear that she still held some resentment towards the Supreme Elder, so she didn't like that Xiao Fang wanted to help her.

”It's only natural that I help someone who wanted to help me,” he replied simply.

The truth was, Xiao Fang had 2 reasons for going back. For one, he wanted the abnormal beast's beast core. He suspected that having one of those would be enough to fill his spirit pendant 1 or 2 times over. As for the second reason, he had special plans for the Supreme Elder, so it was better for him if he could keep her alive.

Eventually, Xiao Fang and Xiao Hei arrived at the battle site.

”Fang, this...”

The forest reeked of beast blood, but Xiao Fang wasn't surprised by this since he was the one who was responsible for it.

As they walked into the forest, they eventually began to see some human blood in the mix.

”Xiao Hei, hold on tight,” he said.

Xiao Hei's arms and legs wrapped around him tightly when she heard those words. In the next moment, Xiao Fang ran into the forest. The deeper they went the more human blood they found.

'Was I too late?' He thought.

Eventually he could sense what was happening with his hearing then sighed in relief. Although she exhausted most of her spirit qi, she still seemed to be hanging on.

...

'Dammit,' Supreme Elder Quan thought.

The more it ate the more it healed. For most of the fight it had been on the defensive, but after it regained most of its strength back the tables eventually turned. This was no longer a battle she could win so she needed to get out of there. She didn't have enough qi to run all the way back with her movement technique, so the only thing she could do was rely on her clones.

Once she made her clones she began to flee.

...

Xiao Fang watched from the distance as they fought and was skeptical about whether the abnormal beast she was facing was the same one he fought at the lake. Either way, the one she was facing now was a lot stronger, so if he wanted to kill it he would need to take it a lot more seriously.

The best thing to do was to catch it off guard, so Xiao Fang waited patiently for the right time to strike. When the time finally came, he made his move.
