Chapter 511


    It’s Him!


    Shao Xuan led his people towards the fire pit.


    The odd thing was, the nearer he got to the fire pit, the more ves he encountered. There were very few Wanshi people around. Weren’t the Wanshi tribesmen worried the ve masters would destroy their fire seed, stationing these people so close to the fire pit?


    Were they that generous? Or they weren’t worried about that at all?


    This was unexpected, Shao Xuan had to be more careful.


    He gestured for everyone to be more careful, the sword in his hand never stopped waving.


    His sword wasrger than most, much heavier too. That was why his movements weren’t the airy, agile strokes but broad ones without ir. Just like during hunts, he used the most efficient and direct strokes paired with the ferocity of ming Horn.


    His techniques came from battles and hunts.


    ng!


    Shao Xuan shed down on a high-level ve in front of him.


    This ve was higher-ranked, hence received better treatment. They didn’t wear regr leather or bone armour, instead wearing metal armour that protected both the front and back of their torso. Their limbs also had protective gear.


    Shao Xuan was aiming at his neck but the ve did his best to dodge by letting the sword hit his armour instead.


    However, even the armour that resembled a tortoiseshell was invincible.


    The armour blocked Shao Xuan’s sh but other than the ‘ng’ that sounded the moment his sword collided with the armour, there was another dull thud.


    A clear dent formed on the armour, though it was not fatal. Under the armour, the ve’s chest formed a depression, as if something heavy fell on him. There was the sound of bone crunching.


    Even metal armour could not withstand a blow like this.


    There was no time to look at the ve, who had copsed after coughing up blood. Shao Xuan turned to face the other people.


    The ground did not have much grass, perhaps due to frequent human activities. There was arge patch of emptynd, the soil on the ground was visible. Due to vigorous fighting, shing, kicking and leaping, bits of soil flew in the air.


    Everyone had entered the battle, Shao Xuan could hear everyone’s heavy and ragged breathing, the rise and fall of chests with the low growl of an animal. Weapons flew like the wind, whistling as they broke the air, sending shudders. Sharp des swept left and right, bringing with them a cold killing intent. Power and ferocity charged forward, the pungent smell of blood lingered.


    The ground had already been dyed red with blood.


    Shao Xuan’s extraordinary vision pierced through the ves. He recognised one man, though it had been two years.


    It was the White Stone City’s young master. Shao Xuan had seen him at the battle arena’s viewing box.


    When the young master’s eyes met his, the young master was stunned for a moment. Although he thought Shao Xuan seemed familiar, it had been two eventful years since then. The young master could not recall where they’d met.


    The young master’s mind raced, searching for the memory.


    Shao Xuan and his men killed their way forward. The young master retreated backwards.


    Not far away, there were the Wanshi beast’s cries and roars. The Wanshi tribe’s Wanshi beasts were battling ming Horn’s fearsome beasts. These were killing machines raised by the Wanshi tribe. Before the ming Horns arrived, Wanshi had already picked out their best animals to fight forest beasts.


    These animals had been chosen over generations, they did not know fear. They lived to kill, they would die because they were killed.


    The Wanshi animals always made the ve masters think of the beast battle arenas. They also used many methods to raise fierce battle beasts. The Wanshi tribe had gotten this idea from the ve masters.


    After escaping from the desert, the ve masters often recalled life in the desert, reminiscing Beast Battle City. As he listened to the beast roars, the young master couldn’t help but think about the beast battles. Then, he shuddered. He remembered.


    It’s him!


    He’s that bastard!


    The young master of White Stone City red at Shao Xuan.


    HE remembered! He was the guy who once appeared in Beast Battle City!


    Shao Xuan’s performance in the arena had left an impression on many ve masters. However, Shao Xuan had been wearing a hood then, his face was not clearly shown. Other people might not recognise him but after the incident, Dao Yu had told him about him, describing who this person was.


    The young master might not have a deep impression if he were anyone else. But Shao Xuan had arrived with the people of Fallen Leaves City. To these ve masters who escaped, Fallen Leaves was considered a traitor. All the cities were destroyed, yet Fallen Leaves somehow survived. Not only were they fine, but their territory had also expanded.


    The people who destroyed White Stone City mainly came from Fallen Leaves! Fallen Leaves was the Rock Hill Shi family’s dog!


    White Stone City’s hatred toward Fallen Leaves was now directed towards Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan was once seen with the third master of Fallen Leaves, Su Gu. Plus White Stone City’s luck had worsened since the day at the battle arena. Not only had their lord died, the entire city hadn’t lived for long either. If it wasn’t for the fact that the young master had already made prior preparations, he wouldn’t have been able to escape.


    His re intensified as hemanded a ve next to him to pass him a bow and arrow. Locked on Shao Xuan, all his fury concentrated within his beady eyes. He took the bow made of a rare desert beast, then drew it until it was almost a circle. All his anger since escaping the desert was fused into the bow.


    He might not have talent in other areas but he was confident in his archery skills.


    At this moment, he ignored everything other than his target, he did not care if he could identally shoot his own people. All he saw was his mortal enemy, Shao Xuan!


    Whoosh!


    The bow shook, the arrow flew at high speed, whistling shrilly in the air. The metal arrow tip broke through the air like a shooting star heading for Shao Xuan!


    Both the ves and ming Horn warriors felt their eardrums sting, as if it had been pricked.


    Shao Xuan had already been guarded since the young master looked at him. He could approximately predict the other person’s actions, plus the killing intent radiating off him was undeniably clear.


    Blocking off a ve attacking from the side, he faintly saw the young master draw his bow. He did not dodge it. With both feet nted into the ground like an old tree’s roots, totemic power surged within his body, his breaths hot and fiery. With a flick of his wrist, his sword flew up vertically to block the arrow filled with the ferocity of an asteroid.


    ng!


    Two powerful forces collided, releasing a crisp, piercing nging that rang through the noisy battlefield.


    The arrow that hit his sword was deflected sideways while a light scratch was left on his sword.


    The young master of the White Stone City finally noticed Shao Xuan’s sword. He had seen all kinds of metal swords, they could varyrgely in terms of style and material.


    In terms of the art of cksmithing, White Stone City’s talent was nothingpared to the three major cities of the desert. White Stone City had little metal wares of their own, though they managed to rob some for themselves during the chaos of the war. However, Shao Xuan’s sword was no average sword. This was shocking to the young master.


    It must have been given to him by Rock HIll’s Shi family! HE could not think of another exnation.


    So ming Horn was one of Shi family’s dogs too!


    Absolutely ridiculous!


    “Kill them all!” roared the young master angrily, sending his ves to fight the ming Horns while he retreated further to avoid the fighting. He had a group of ves protecting him.


    The ve masters wanted to tell them to snatch Shao Xuan’s sword but before he could speak, Shao Xuan seemed to speed up. There was a sh of blood-stained metal and Shao Xuan was charging towards him. Other than sounds of a sword shing unto metal armour, he could hear consecutive sounds of breaking bones, then a sharp de flying along with severed limbs. A ve flew horizontally across after one swift kick.


    The young master did not care if this was his mortal enemy. His heart raced as he saw Shao Xuan charging towards him. His scalp grew numb and decided to run. The best skill he had was to run. If he left the battlefield, he would not need to be afraid of the bastard. The threat would be much smaller. Right now, they were just helping Wanshi. There was really no need to risk his life for this battle. He did not forget to tell his ves to protect him, preventing any arrows he couldn’t see.


    Shao Xuan wanted to kill that annoying ve master hiding behind a group of ves. Perhaps the other ves wouldn’t really want to fight anymore if the master was dead. However, the ve master was running too quickly. He wanted to shoot an arrow but there were just too many ves around him. He might not hit the master.


    Shao Xuan could only give this target up, proceeding to bring his people closer to Wanshi’s fire pit.


    Perhaps due to the master’s absence, the ves seemed to be less focused, giving ming Horn a chance to charge forward.


    Other than the White Stone City’s ves, there were other ves too. These people seemed to just be fillers, they weren’t too difficult to deal with. This bunch of ve masters definitely did not have their hearts in the battle, they weren’t intending to actually help Wanshi at all.


    The closer he got, Shao Xuan felt the repulsion effects of the Wanshi’s fire seed. Totemic power flooded his entire body, as if the fire seed in his body had met its match and could not wait to fight.


    While tribesmen fought, fire seeds did not tolerate each other either. There was a sense of ‘if there’s you, there’s no me’.
