247 Figh (1/2)

The heavy pressure that these three experts emitted was getting heavier the closer Xue Wei's group came.

This only made them more excited. These three people seemed to be the strongest experts they had encountered since they entered Yan Dalu, not counting Elder Sun.

Xue Wei slowed down their advance as he watched the three experts that they constantly inched closer and closer towards.

There were two men and one woman. All of them were lean and bordering on skinny. The woman walked in between the two men, and their clothes were of decent quality, but they had clearly not been created from Fierce Beast or Primordial Beast hide, leather, or fur.

The three were engaged in conversation. From time to time, their faces frowned, and they would look around with a casual gaze.

They had long since noticed Xue Wei and his friends. However, instead of fleeing or trying to figure out who they were, the three had stopped in their tracks, formed a small triangle and nowwere discussing something that seemed important, their expressions souring with increasing annoyance.

”Something feels off,” Xue Wei could not help but mutter as he once more glanced around them. Were these three really so strong that they could be carefree when engaging in a fight without a single worry, or were they bait for an ambush?

”So you can feel it too, huh?” Bai Tianyi mumbled by his side. His eyes also glanced everywhere in an attempt to find any traces of the suspected ambush.

”They are strong,” Lin Xiao finally said. ”They don't need an ambush because their strength is enough as it is.”

”One of them is a Primordial Beast and he is at the fourth layer of the Earth Knight in Qi level.”

”The other two are humans with the Yan Dalu bloodline in their veins. The man has three eyes and the woman has four.”

”And, I do not know if I am excited about this or not, but they are not wearing the black bracelets.”

Xue Wei nodded his head. He too had noticed the things that Lin Xiao explained.

”It seems like this will be a tough battle,” Xue Wei said seriously. ”The woman and the other man clearly have a spiritual energy cultivation at the Earth Knight rank. I cannot sense their strength, so it is above mine. If you leave the woman to me and Tianyi, we will take care of her.”

”Then Gou takes the Primordial Beast, and Xiao you take care of the last three-eyed spiritual energy cultivator.”

Hearing Xue Wei's arrangements, all of them started focusing on their target. There was no recklessness in their behavior this time. All of them were solemn and serious.

Especially Lin Xiao was careful. He had been eager earlier because of the Soul Guard, but now that there was a massive gap between the quality of his soul and the soul of his opponent, he understood that he was not in a favorable position. All he could do was hope that his opponent specialized in materialized attacks that aimed for the physical body and not invisible soul attacks.

Xue Wei and Bai Tianyi were the two weakest in the group if one looked solely at their cultivation bases, yet these two were supposed to go up against the strongest opponent.

Fortunately, Xue Wei and Bai Tianyi had a hidden arsenal of aces they could bring forth if they were in the need of doing so. Even then, they both understood that this was a serious battle.

”Tianyi, you cover me from a distance and I will close in on her, using my physical strength to finish off the battle,” Xue Wei said.

As soon as he spoke, he transformed his legs. While it was impossible to see as he was wearing boots, his legs and feet were now covered by azure scales, the muscles in his legs swelled and his speed soared. When transformed, he could achieve the greatest speed available to him.

They were almost at the group and the first to break away was Hei Gou. He flapped his wings a few times and accelerated, after which he shot like an arrow at the Primordial Beast.

This Primordial Beast looked like any other human in Yan Dalu. His figure was lean, but one could see powerful muscles underneath the clothes. He only had two eyes, but both of them were currently narrowed and focused on the incoming Hei Gou.

”Idiot,” he snickered as he took out a broadsword so large that it could cover himself behind it. Looking at this sword, Xue Wei's one eyebrow rose in surprise. Could such a lean man really wield this weapon?

It turned out that he could. The sword came crashing down, cutting off Hei Gou's advance and causing him to stall in the air in front of the three of them.

”Crap,” Xue Wei called out. Because Hei Gou had advanced faster than the others, he had arrived first, and now he was alone to face the combined attack of three experts that were at the very least Earth Knights.
