Chapter 193: Second Encounter (2/2)

Finally, there was a loud thunderous boom when her body hit the ground. She groaned as she tried to get up, but too many of her bones were broken and her mind and vision was hazy.

Blood streamed down her face and she found it difficult to breath. She didn't have enough qi to escape and she wasn't fast enough to outrun it without her movement technique.

'I need to run... I need to get out of here.'

She tried to get up with every ounce of her strength, but she could barely keep her eyes open much less move the rest of her body.

Eventually, the abnormal beast could be seen walking towards her from a 100 meters away, but since her mind was in a haze, she could only see it frame by frame. She felt like she was going to blackout before it could get to her.

'Elder Sister. help me. I don't want to die.'

The closer it got, the more frightened she became, but from the looks of it she was only moments away from passing out.

Suddenly, the abnormal beast stopped walking then quickly turned around. In that exact moment a silver flash rushed past him, leaving a deep cut wound across its chest.

”Gah!” The beast screamed.

The attack was too sudden so it couldn't block it in time, but with its new strength the surprise attack wasn't strong enough to kill it in one hit.

The silver flash was none other than Xiao Fang. His hair was white, his aura had sparks of lightning in it, and his blade was as black as death. If he wasn't wearing his robes he would see that his curse mark was starting to spread again.

'It failed to block my attack but I still failed to kill it. Just how much stronger did it get while I was gone,' Xiao Fang thought.

He had been watching it fight against the Supreme Elder closely so he assumed he could kill it in one go if there was an opening, it turned out he had underestimated it.

”Fang, look at its eyes, it's a cannibal,” Xiao Hei said after climbing off of his back.

Since Xiao Fang wasn't wearing his blindfold he could see the red in the abnormal beast's eyes too, so it all started to make sense.

”Elder sister, is that you?” Supreme Elder Quan suddenly spoke.

Xiao Fang turned his head to look down at the Supreme Elder. His eyes were bright violet, his black robes were clean, and his glowing white hair was tied back into a neat ponytail.

When Xiao Fang looked down at her, the image of her elder sister slowly disappeared, leaving her with a blurry image of Xiao Fang's face.

Although she couldn't make out his face in her state, she could clearly see his violet eyes.

”Who are you?” she struggled to say.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get a good look at who her mysterious benefactor was. In the next moment, she finally passed out.

Xiao Fang sighed in relief. For a moment he thought he underestimated her injuries, but it seemed she was just thinking about her elder sister.

”Xiao Hei, take her somewhere safe,” Xiao Fang said.

Xiao Hei was reluctant to save the supreme elder considering what happened during the inner court exam, but since Xiao Fang went to great lengths to help her, she didn't want to let him down.

Xiao Hei nodded obediently then picked the supreme elder up before going into [ Stealth ].

Xiao Fang finally turned to look at the abnormal beast and confirmed it with his own eye. The abnormal beast standing before him was the same abnormal beast he fought at the lake. There was still lingering fear in its eyes, so he knew it recognized him.

Xiao Fang flicked his wrist, removing the beast's blood that coated his sword.

”It seems you got a lot stronger since we last met. Come, let's see how long you can last against my sword.”
