Chapter 489: King Ranked Expert (2/2)

After finishing the rest, all of them prepared themselves, before they exited the cave and began moving towards the forest once more.

Their senses were on high alert, and they were extra cautious, knowing that a King ranked expert was roaming the forest.

Every other patrol had been called back, so they did not have to fear getting ambushed by anyone else, other than the King ranked expert, but they also understood that this man was their actual foe, so they were both excited and nervous. Although they were arrogant, they knew that there was a vast difference between a Saint and a King.

They were walking down an animal trail when Xue Wei suddenly felt an acute sense of danger. He dodged to the side, just in time to see a throwing knife embedded itself into the tree behind him.

Xue Wei felt cold sweat soaking his back; that knife throw was deadly!

”Well, well, well, so the ones who have caused such trouble for my military base proved to be a group of hairy youngsters. Although your strength is high, you are still merely Saints. To think you dare fight against my majesty at such levels, I do not know if it is bravery or stupidity.”

A drawling voice sounded, and all of them looked towards it, their eyes widened slightly when they saw that a middle-aged man was standing next to a tree, leaning against the trunk. They had not sensed him before, so his sudden appearance caused them to be on high alert, but they did not panic.

Seeing that they could keep themselves calm even when facing off against a King ranked expert, the man raised an eyebrow in surprise. They seemed genuinely talented.

Lan was standing aside, looking at them all with interest in his eyes. He had never thought they would encounter him so swiftly, but it was not a bad thing. Now Xue Wei could let go and try his all.

He raised his hand, and an invisible energy shrouded Xue Wei and the others without them noticing. The energy covered their internal organs and ensured that they would not die. However, they would still suffer greatly.

Lan was aware of the differences between a King and a Saint. It was just time for Xue Wei to realize it also.

Xue Wei smiled and felt happy; this was what he had been waiting for.

Inner Might!

A sword appeared in his hand, created from Qi. It looked like any other sword, slim and sharp, and the King ranked expert widened his eyes. What a useful technique!

Both of them stared at one another, and Xue Wei looked back at his friends. He was afraid that they would be injured, but he knew that he alone would not be the man's opponent.

”Back me up, but keep safety as the main priority!” he gave his orders, and the others nodded their heads. A tense atmosphere descended over the forest.
