>Chapter 691: Strange Beasts?

” In this urgent situation, Lu Xia Tian, the man in white who had just escaped, instructed Hu Xiao Feng, the old man with the black staff, giving them orders. As for the two women in black, in this si..."What kind of monster is this!" Tuo Qingying fought more and more uncomfortably. This monster's changes made the two of them very depressed. Every monster, due to its nature, has a certain way of attacking. The Giant Stone Clan has been fighting monsters all year round, with very rich combat experience. Especially the two of them are among the best in the seventh-level warriors, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get here.

But who could know that the monster they encountered was unlike any they had ever seen before While they were prepared to fight, it constantly changed forms, making it incredibly unpredictable.

With a clang, the two swords slashed out with incredible speed, clashing against the claw-like appendages. The force of the impact was surprising but bearable.

The gust of wind wrapped the figure as it fell to the ground. The shadow within the dust was extremely agile, its claws like snakes gripping the long knife and slithering up it.

Upon seeing the menacing presence of the toqing stone, he hurriedly retreated backward.

To Qingying, seeing her companion in danger, immediately rushed to the rescue. The two engaged in a fierce battle with the monstrous beast they had imagined. Swords clashed and energy surged.

In the blink of an eye, both sides had already exchanged dozens of blows. In the eyes of Tuo Qingying and the others, this monster's strength was only slightly stronger than theirs, but its moves were agile and varied, each attack landing on their vital points. Although the two fought together, they felt restrained and helpless.

In fact, Lu Xiaoteng was only using his physical strength at this time, which was not much different from the two of them. However, he had fought against cultivators in the middle and late stages of Jindan, and those who were already unknown to mortals. His eyesight was naturally not comparable to that of Tuo Qing and the others. It's just that these two people's minds were connected, and they understood the art of joint attacks very well. If Lu Xiaoteng hadn't had better eyesight than them and a stronger Yuanshen, he could even judge the trajectory of their attacks without looking sometimes, and make countermeasures in advance. Otherwise, if a cultivator at the middle stage of Jindan faced the two of them, they would probably be worn down to death.

After hundreds of moves, Tuo Qing Shi was blasted away by Lu Xiao Tian's palm strike. The combined force of the two immediately shattered.

"Not good!" During his backward flight, Tuo Qing Shi discovered several gusts of energy striking him from behind. He was instantly alarmed. In his current state, even if he didn't die, he would likely lose half his life. If they hit his nape, he would surely be killed.

“Qing Shi!” Seeing Tuo Qing Shi’s danger, Tuo Qing Ying's eyes turned red instantly. Seeing the hazy figure seem to transform into a human form, Tuo Qing Ying was stunned, but she couldn't care about anything else. Seeing the hazy figure rush towards Tuo Qing Shi again, Tuo Qing Ying recklessly slashed at it.

“I’ll fight you to the death!” Tu Qing Shi felt a surge of despair as he realized his predicament. If he fell, Tu Qing Ying would surely meet the same fate. Driven to madness by desperation, he disregarded the fierce wind behind him and charged forward with everything he had, swinging his blade in a final desperate attack aimed at the figure’s face. Putting every ounce of strength into it, Tu Qing Shi felt this strike was unlike any other he had ever made before; it pulsed with a raw, untamed power that surpassed anything he'd ever unleashed.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Xiaitian's eyes. He hadn't expected that under the threat of death, Tuo Qing Shi would choose to do this, giving the chance of survival to the woman behind him and putting his own life on the line to give his fellow clanswoman a glimmer of hope.

Lu Xiaoteng's eyes held a gleam of admiration. His figure flashed, nimbly dodging the strike from behind by Tuo Qingying's blade. Without flinching, he reached out and grabbed Tuo Qingshi's ferociously swung blade, pulling it effortlessly towards him with a single tug.

"What" Even in this life-or-death moment, Tuo Qing Shi couldn't help but gape with a shocked expression. The creature before him, which resembled both human and monster, had power comparable to him and Tuo Qing Ying. Even if it was stronger, the difference wasn't vast. Its only advantage was its bizarre attack methods and incredibly keen vision, always predicting their attacks and landing blows on their weak points. Tuo Qing Shi's knife strike was his peak effort. Coupled with Tuo Qing Ying's combined attack, even if the monster managed to dodge, it wouldn't have been easy. However, the situation unfolded beyond his expectations. The monster displayed power far exceeding its previous form, effortlessly grasping his Yinshe blade. As he pulled, an irresistible force surged through him, leaving Tuo Qing Shi feeling completely powerless to resist.

“Little Sparrow, we’re not a match for him. Run!” It turned out that the opponent had been concealing their true strength all along. They had only been toying with them before, and with the monstrous power he was displaying now, they could easily crush both him and Little Sparrow's combined efforts.

"No, let's go together!" Tuo Qingying cried out in despair. Her blade missed completely. Tuo Qingying felt a sense of unprecedented sadness and helplessness in her heart.

Tuo Qing shi gritted his teeth, and in the face of being unable to suppress the long sword in his hand, he punched towards Lu Xia Tian's temple with one hand, and kicked towards Lu Xia Tian's dantian vital point with his leg.

Lu Xiaitian's mouth twitched. He had saved someone, but it seemed to have brought more trouble. This Tuo Qing Stone, in order to give the other person a chance to survive, risked his life and made a breakthrough. The strength he erupted was close to the middle stage of the Golden Core. Of course, this level of strength was just a slight hassle for him.

Lu Xiaotian punched forward, striking Tao Qing Shi's incoming fist. At the same time, he turned half a circle, his left leg lifted, and his knee landed squarely on Tao Qing Shi's kicking foot. Tao Qing Shi cried out in pain, twitching at the corner of his mouth. Before he could react, Lu Xiaotian grabbed his shoulders and threw him backward, towards Tao Qing Ying.

Tuo Qingying hurriedly caught Tuo Qing shi, staring in astonishment at the enemy who had just attacked. He directly slapped forward with his palm, scattering several gusts of gang wind.

"What's this" Tuo Qingying and Tuo Qingshi looked at each other, finally understanding that the other party had actually saved Tuo Qingshi in a dangerous situation. Otherwise, under the attack of these gang winds just now, Tuo Qingshi would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.

In the eyes of the two, the sand around the monster dissipated, revealing a relatively thin young cultivator inside. He had silver hair and a calm expression.

“You… you are the distinguished guest surnamed Lu invited by Elder Patriarch Tubo!” Tu Qing Shi looked at the man before him, recalling the recent rumors buzzing through the small town these past few days. His eyes widened in surprise, and his face was filled with astonishment.

"Not bad." Lu XiaTian nodded, thankfully these two people spoke a language he understood, otherwise communication would be quite troublesome.

"Before this, I thought it was a demonic beast and recklessly attacked the honorable guest, which was rude." Tuo Qing Shi saw the situation and was overjoyed. As long as it wasn't a demonic beast or an enemy, his life would be saved. He and Tuo Qing Ying were no longer in danger.

“It's understandable that you wouldn't know. It was just me practicing. My cultivation method is different from yours, the Giant Stone Clan's, so it produces some strange sights. You mistook me for a demon beast, and that's no big deal." Lu Xiaoteng waved his hand dismissively.y beneficial, it's still different from experiencing something firsthand.Only by personally participating can one feel the wonder of these medicinal liquids fusing together amidst constant rejection.H...
