Chapter 420 (2/2)

The more terrifying part was his physical strength. He snapped such a thick tree trunk in half with just one kick! While there were many people who could break a tree, not many could do it so effortlessly in one kick. They were not as strong as this guy too.

When they looked at the collapsed tree, they found the tree bare. All the leaves had fallen off with the vibration!

They had no time for surprise because they realised their target had turned around immediately after the kick, charging at them at lightning speed.

Both people charged at Shao Xuan too, the distance between them all shortened in the blink of an eye. Two forces of power were hurtling themselves at each other.

Shao Xuan raised his sword, parrying his opponent’s blade.

The impact of the two swords was so strong that the person felt his arm go number. The skin between his thumb and his index finger broke, two feet planted firmly in the ground were suddenly not. He was almost thrown upwards!

They were both of similar height, this kid did not look more muscular than them. Perhaps not as strong as the other person waving his fists. However, this kid whom they had planned to rob almost killed him in a second! What the heck?!

When the two swords were forced apart, Shao Xuan felt a gush of air from a fist next to him. He did not dodge, facing the fist with his own.

The totemic power within him surged like ten thousand horses. After attempting to activate the bone ornaments twice, his power of inheritance had been restored as strong as ever. He was even more adept in shifting his totemic power. The totemic pattern on his body was ablaze, as if they could set the whole place on fire. The totemic patterns on his shoulder extended down to his fist.

The other person was very confident too. This kid could kick a tree? Well, he could too! That kick was nothing to him! However, when both fists touched each other, he realised he underestimated his opponent. Was this man or beast?!

Crack crack crack!

The other person’s arm sounded like the branches snapping on the tree that collapsed. Bones shattered in his arm.

That was not the end!

Shao Xuan retracted his fist and hurled himself at his opponent. The other person wanted to retreat but could not move in time. There was a dull thud as he flew backwards. Many parts of his body split open and blood sprayed out.

This was not over, there was another guy!

The person wielding the sword witnessed two of his partners incapacitated. He knew this was going to be a tough one so there was no time to breathe. When Shao Xuan punched the other guy, his sharp sword was already flying at Shao Xuan, bringing with it a blade of wind.

The sword in Shao Xuan’s hand twisted like a dragon, raising to his left in one moment.

Clang!

The sharp reverberations of metal on metal echoed. The other person used the momentum from the collision to retreat quickly. That blow had failed and he knew he would never get another opportunity to hit Shao Xuan again. He had to leave!

Shao Xuan’s legs moved and he was now just a shadow moving at incredible speed. The sword in his hand waved in the air, extended towards the person who was running away.

The sword glinted in an arc mid-air.

The other person’s footsteps stopped abruptly, disbelief in his eyes and his eyes lost focus. A gush of red liquid sprayed out of the back of his neck. The sword in his hand fell to the ground, grass flew.

Shao Xuan lifted a solid piece of soil from the ground and threw it in a direction.

Quack!

There was a shriek and a bright green silhouette fell from mid-air.

Shao Xuan walked over and trapped the struggling duck’s wings. He tied it up using some straw rope then tossed it aside.

Then, he walked towards the tree he had kicked down.

There was one person under a branch, bleeding. When he walked over, the totemic patterns on this person’s body that looked like snakes slowly disappeared. He twitched and then died.

Shao Xuan thought it was weird. This person wasn’t crushed by a trunk, and the thorns had not hit any vital parts. Why did he die?

When he kicked the tree away, Shao Xuan flipped the guy over with his sword and noticed that the wounds were green-purple. Where the thorns coated with poison? No. Shao Xuan looked at the little plants on the ground that looked like bean sprouts. Those were the poisonous culprits.

The three people had been dealt with, there was no one else around. Shao Xuan approached the duck and lifted it by its neck.
