Chapter 197 Looting

“Sure.”

The aged man named Senior Feng muttered that word from underneath his mask. He waved his hand and a swirl emerged in the space in front of him. From within leaped out a shadow.

Whoosh!

The dark shadow moved quickly, like a dash of lightning. In an instant, the dark shadow had pierced through an eighth-rank beast. Blood was spilled out. The dark shadow didn’t stop there. It rushed toward the burly man who was running away.

The burly man heard the noise. He turned around, only to be startled.

In a hurry, he unsheathed his saber and he mobilized his astral powers which formed a shield as he wielded his saber to fend off the dark shadow.

This stunning saber was a treasure in itself. The air was stirred up by the saber and the ripples in the air extended to more than 10 meters!

The dark shadow moved to the side with agility and dodged this cut. The dark shadow pressed forward toward the burly man with increasing momentum.

The burly man’s first strike fell short but he didn’t have time to fix this. This fact frustrated him but he didn’t sit still to wait for death. He raised his other hand and punched at the dark shadow the moment it was near.

The burly man was titled the “Fist.”

Fistfighting was his advantage. He had studied an ancient fistfight skill. At this moment, a strong force was gathering on his fist; even the air around it moved at a curve. Muffled noises were being generated out of thin air.

This move was even more horrifying than when he used his saber!

Bang!

Since the dark shadow was close, it could no longer dodge this strike; it landed squarely on the dark shadow. However, the punch went through the dark shadow in the next second. At the same time, with a loud sound, a fist print with a diameter of seven to eight meters appeared on a huge tree behind this shadow!

The print left on the tree trunk was deep. The tree shook, even though it was large as a towering hill. Some leaves fell to the ground.

That isn’t real?!

The burly man was terrified. He believed he had an acute perception. How did his judgement fail with the dark shadow?

He used his astral powers to lock on his target. He was completely unable to tell if that was an illusion or not!

Soon, he remembered an extremely rare skill, energy clone! That was a rare and mysterious skill of the advanced level. With that skill, the pet could fool most surveillance and identification skills. The clone was even more realistic than an illusion. Relying on spiritual force alone would be hard to tell the true from the fake.

He felt some fatal danger coming at him from behind. The burly man turned around. Darkness came over his eyes. He couldn’t see what that was. Out of instinct, he raised his saber to fend off the strike. But in the next second, he was knocked away and smashed into the fist print left on the tree. A human print was added to the fist print.

The burly man crawled up. He looked up and finally recognized the dark shadow that attacked him.

“A Devil Shadow, at the upper position of the ninth rank??”

The burly man was frightened. Devil Shadows were pets of the demon family, quite the aggressive sort. It was like an assassin, with strong disguising and hiding abilities. The Devil Shadow was stunningly fast. Most of the beasts would be killed and eaten up by the Devil Shadow before they could catch a sight of it.

After the burly man recognized that pet, he looked around from the corner of his eye. His team had collapsed. His two pets had been blocked; they had been completely overwhelmed by Zhuo Fengqun’s three pets.

At the moment, the others around Tang Ruyan had summoned their pets as well to attack the burly man’s teammates.

A violent turbulence caused by astral powers caught the burly man’s attention. He noticed someone standing next to Tang Ruyan. The burly man felt extreme fear when he saw that man’s appearance and focused on the coldness in his eyes. He suddenly recalled a man with a horrifying influence.

Demon Feng!

He was a famous titled battle pet warrior. He was less powerful than Venerable the Blade. That being said, other titled battle pet warriors saw Demon Feng as someone that shouldn’t be provoked. He was called “Demon Feng” but in private, people preferred to address him as the “Lunatic Demon”!

He worked with the Tang family. The burly man didn’t know he was there!

“That lunatic...” The strong-built man gulped. His heart was trembling. He could get away if he only had to deal with Zhuo Fengqun. However, since the Demon Feng was there, that had become impossible. The burly man regretted his decision.

If he had known, he would have given up this treasure.

But what had been done could not be undone. He wished he could give up this treasure in exchange for his life but the Tang family might not accept at this point.

Naturally, he would not be so naive as to think that his begging would bring an end to this incident. Silencing people and murdering people would always go hand in hand. Since the Tang family had started this fight, killing all the enemies would be the best choice to protect the Tang family’s reputation.

All those thoughts came to the burly man’s mind in an instant. He turned ghastly pale. The Devil Shadow was coming at him again. He ground his teeth in hatred. He summoned two more pets that were at the upper position of the seventh-rank. One of the pets was of the stone family. It began to build earth shields as soon as the pet came out. Three thick stone walls were erected to protect the man.

Pff, pff!

The stone walls were penetrated as soon as they came into being. The Devil Shadow focused its strikes on one point.

“Give up the treasure and we can spare your life.” Senior Feng floated over and stood in the air. He looked down on the strong-built man who had been forced to a dead end. The look in Senior Feng’s eyes was cold and his tone calm.

The burly man raised his head and looked into Feng’s eyes. All of a sudden, the former burst into laughter but that was a sad and dreary laugh. “Nicely done! What goes around comes around! Well, tough luck for me! But do you think you can take away this treasure? You wish!!”

Astral powers were gathered in his hand. He was planning to crush the box.

A glint of coldness rose in Senior Feng’s eyes. Astral powers were poured down. Due to the huge pressure, even the ground caved in as if something tangible had been laid on the ground

With a bang, the box flew away from the burly man’s grasp.

He was taken aback. The astral powers he had mobilized were dispelled in an instant. The box was in his hand and he was over a dozen meters away from Senior Feng. However, Senior Feng’s astral powers had reached the target within a second and stopped what the burly man was trying to do!

“Are you... at the upper position?”

The burly man looked awful.

Senior Feng waved at the box that had been hoisted up in the air and said to the man coldly, “I am deeply sorry, you found out about this truth a moment too late. Greed is what killed you.”

The box that should have flown to Senior Feng’s hand suddenly dashed to another direction.

Senior Feng was stunned stiff.

This sudden change was a complete surprise.

Senior Feng had been focusing on the burly man for the most part. He would have reacted as soon as the latter used astral powers. However, the burly man behaved and didn’t try to take the box back. Naturally, Senior Feng believed the box was flying toward him.

But it wasn’t.

The box was going out of his reach. Senior Feng’s expressions changed. He rose to the situation. Coldness oozed out from his eyes. Astral powers were released to envelop the box.

The moment the astral powers were about to touch the box, a small black shadow appeared right next to the box. The shadow seemed to have a human shape. Then it vanished, together with the box.
