Chapter 31: Battle for Supremacy

  "Hello, I'm Nuo Hu."

  "My name is Lei Yu."

  "Why is it just you? Shouldn't there be two of you?" asked Nuo Hu.

  "No way, I was also forced to come and execute the task, other members were not willing to come, you guys were also forced to come, right?" He Wei Tao had a helpless look on his face.

  Lei Yu and Nuo Hu smiled slightly but didn't respond.

  A few people simply discussed some action plans and walked towards the depths of the forest, which was no different from before. There were low roars of beasts and chirping sounds of birds everywhere. The light in the forest was a bit dark, and the pace of several people's actions was very slow.

  "Three directions, Hui Weitao, you go right, Nuo Hu, you left, I'll head forward." Lei Yu waved his hand, this was pre-arranged.

  Watching Hui Wei Tao walk away, Lei Yu quickly followed in the direction of Nuo Hu, "Follow me!"

  "What's with you..."

  As Lei Yu walked for a while, he came to the side of a small river and followed the familiar path into another entrance of the forest, where the little cubs were born.

  "Strange, where did he run off to?" Lei Yu looked around in all directions, seemingly very anxious.

  Seeing Lei Yu's actions, Nuo Hu became even more puzzled, "Little Yu, you seem very familiar with this place?"

  "For now, let's not explain, we'll talk about it when we find it." Lei Yu continued walking forward without stopping, and Nuo Hu had no choice but to follow.

  "Ahh!"

  "Ah!"

  A loud roar and a mournful cry, the stark contrast suddenly set the forest abuzz, startling countless birds into flight.

  "Not good!" The two of them quickly ran in the direction where the sound came from.

  When he saw a majestic beast with shiny black fur stepping on Weiweitao's head, Nuohu felt a wave of nausea. Weiweitao had already become a corpse, and there was an obvious wound on his neck that seemed to have been cut by a sharp object, with fresh blood flowing out. It appeared to be caused by the sharp thorns on the beast's back.

  "Little Feather! What's going on?" Nuohuo asked, pulling Lei Yu along.

  When Lei Yu saw the fierce beast for a moment, he became somewhat **, this fierce beast was very large in size, just like the mother beast when they fought before, and most notably, one of this fierce beast's eyes was actually blind.

  "Stand still here!" Lei Yu pulled Nu Hu's arm and walked forward himself.

  "Don't go!" Seeing a bloody patch on the ground, Nu Hu wanted to chase after, but Lei Yu suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Don't move!"

  Seeing Nuo Hu standing still, he finally felt at ease and turned his head back. The beast's upper and lower teeth were tightly clenched together, and the ferocious look in one of its eyes seemed even more chilling to the heart.

  Just as Lei Yu was about to approach the fierce beast, a sudden "whooshing" sound came from the sky, and when he looked up, several white lights descended like lightning, targeting the black beast. Only after the white lights inserted into the ground did he discover that they were actually several long swords, but they didn't directly attack the beast. Instead, the twelve long swords formed a cage, with milky-white true energy flowing at the top, seemingly having a sealing effect.

  The ferocious beast was enraged by the sudden appearance of these long swords, let out a loud howl, stretched out its sharp claws to collide with them. However, it seemed that the solidity of these long swords exceeded the beast's expectations. Helplessly, it used the sharp thorns on its back, but the effect was still not obvious. These twelve long swords only slightly trembled for a moment before returning to calm again.

  Lei Yu looked around and wondered where these long swords came from. Why did they suddenly appear and trap the fierce beast inside?

  "Shā, shā" A rustling sound came from the forest, and three figures rushed out of the woods.

  An old man and two young men, all dressed in traditional Tang suits, the kind that is tight-fitting, apparently also practitioners of martial arts.

  "Who are you?" Lei Yu looked at the three people who suddenly appeared in front of him and asked.

  "You should be the soldiers of the Wu Zong Sect who came to carry out the mission, right? Not bad, you have some guts, seeing your companions die and still daring to move forward, it seems that Wu Zong didn't raise complete trash." The old man said lightly, stroking his white beard.

  "Who are you, after all?" Lei Yu asked again.

  The three people's auras scattered out, and Lei Yu could judge that the old man had the strength of a 4th stage warrior based on his own electric induction. The other two were 3rd stage warriors, which was not difficult to distinguish from their weapons and attire. This was one of the four major powers of Tenglong Country, "Xianren Pavilion"!

  "Is it necessary to ask such a thing? Didn't Wu Zong teach you young ones that when meeting someone from the Xianren Pavilion, one should know to yield?"

  Xianren Pavilion's Lei Yu indeed had some understanding, but had never made contact before. The three people in front of him were clearly the ones, but they suddenly took action and trapped the fierce beast. What was their purpose?

  "Wuzong Long team, what are you doing here?" Nu Hu asked as he walked up from behind.

  The crowd ignored the fierce beast's desperate roar and struggle, and these three people seemed to have great confidence in the cage formed by their released long swords.

  "You can go back and report, this matter will be taken over by the Xianren Pavilion." With that said, the old man turned around and walked towards the direction of the fierce beast, with a proud look on his face.

  "Don't even think about it!" Lei Yu narrowed his eyes, if the beast were to appear unexpectedly, he wouldn't feel good in his heart. This beast was very likely that cub, although its blind eye and the wound from killing its mother looked somewhat similar, but Lei Yu believed this was due to an accident involving the cub.

  "Oh? It seems you want to interfere with the affairs of Xianren Pavilion?" The old man slowly turned around, and the two young men beside him also had faces full of anger, it seemed that there was a relationship between Wuzong and Xianren Pavilion that couldn't coexist.

  "Cut the crap, we were the first to discover the beast and it killed our companion. You'd better back off!" Nuo Hu's fierce personality naturally wouldn't allow others to look down on Wu Zong like that. What happens in his own den is his own business, but when he encounters a real opponent, he'll still side with himself.

  "What a nuisance. It seems we still have to deal with you two first." The old man waved his hand: "You go and subdue them, so they won't be buzzing around like flies."

  It's no wonder the old man is so confident that his subordinates can take care of Lei Yu and Nuo Hu, as the two men's companions have already died at the hands of the fierce beast. According to his estimate, Lei Yu and Nuo Hu are not much stronger either.

  The two men listened to the old man's words, took a few steps forward, and seemed like dead soldiers, listening to the old man's words and following his instructions. They drew out long swords from behind their backs, silently reciting mysterious incantations in their mouths. The long sword suddenly flashed with light, and the sharp true energy was like a piercingly cold wind that blew towards Lei Yu and Nuo Hu.

  "I'm here!" Leiyu shouted, taking a step forward with an arrow-like movement. His arms, imbued with the power of lightning, had a certain attractive force, especially towards metal objects. The long swords in their hands began to tremble uncontrollably as Leiyu approached.
