Panda Taoist Priest

Something flew out from the forest next to Lin An, and with a "hualala" sound, it sent Lin An flying.

The man was stunned at first, but then he focused his eyes and saw that Lin An was actually hit by a lush and verdant tree. In the middle of the tree stood a three-meter tall black bear with a depressed look on its face.

Chu Xiong actually used the tree as a weapon!

Chu Xiong was also a bit speechless. He wouldn't abandon Lin An just because Lin An had bought him from the market and saved his life. He had originally hoped that Lin An could attract the other party's attention and endure for a little longer, allowing him to find a chance to launch a sneak attack. However, he had never expected that Lin An would be captured just as he left.

In the nick of time …

There was no time to think about it.

His plan had been completely disrupted. Chu Xiong first did not know that the power of the blood contract would kill him, then he still had to hurry and save Lin An. Chu Xiong could only casually pull out a tree that was as thick as a person and use it as a weapon to send Lin An flying.

It was better to be hit by a tree trunk than by a giant hammer!

But whenever there was a crisis,

It was supposed to be the Savior,

This time, a bear appeared.

Despite the presence of the bear,

However, life and death were still unpredictable!

"I knew you wouldn't." The man did not care if Chu Xiong understood or not as he coldly laughed.

"Therefore, this hammer is for you."

The man's voice sank and both of his hands formed a hand seal. The huge hammer in the air whizzed and flew towards Chu Xiong. Where was the slightest bit slower than before?

It turned out that the man's battle was extremely sinister and cunning. Just now, he had purposefully slowed down the giant hammer's speed. His goal was to lure out the uncertain factor, Chu Xiong, to solve his worries, and capture Lin An and his spirit beasts in one fell swoop!

A black bear was running through the forest. The man was very confident in his speed, but he also understood that the black bear was much faster. As for killing Lin An and causing Black Bear to be killed by the Blood Pact, the man wasn't completely sure. After all, there were many people who would break the blood contract when they died and allow their spirit beasts to live on in secret.

Chu Xiong did not dare to hesitate and threw the tree in his hand towards the man. His body moved and he dodged to the side.

The large tree that was over ten meters long and was covered in branches and leaves quickly smashed towards the man, blocking his line of sight.

The man looked at the big tree that was flying towards him and frowned. With one hand, he formed a seal with the other hand and touched his waist. With a flash of light, a long sword appeared in his hand.

It was a flexible sword that the man had hidden by his waist!

The man raised his eyebrows and slashed with his sword. A layer of white light instantly appeared on his flexible sword. The tree in the air split into two before it could even touch the man.

It was unknown whether it was the man's Dao arts or the sword in his hand that were so sharp.

Chu Xiong's face also slightly changed. Not to mention anything else, this strike alone made the man much stronger than Zhang Ziqiang. His fists and feet were quite strong and he looked like a martial arts expert!

Chu Xiong's eyesight was quite good. Wasn't this man a martial arts expert before he started cultivating? It was just a chance for him to be recognized by an expert as a disciple before he became a Taoist.

At that time, the huge hammer from the sky also came crashing down. Although it did not hit Chu Xiong, there was still a huge explosion and it created a two to three meter deep hole in the grass. Its power was not small.

"I want to see how many times you can dodge." The man sneered.

His two fingers moved and the huge hammer flew up with a huge amount of spiritual energy, once again smashing towards Chu Xiong. At the same time, the man turned his head to look at the fallen Lin An. Lin An was currently in a sorry state. His clothes had been cut into a pile of rags, and even his face was covered in blood.

Fortunately, the chains were strong enough, so Lin An was not able to escape.

Lin An's face was filled with hidden bitterness as he stared at Chu Xiong. He pondered whether Chu Xiong was saving him or taking revenge on him.

"I will have your black bear accompany you later." The man's sword trembled as he slashed at Lin An. A streak of white light immediately appeared in the sky and shot towards Lin An like a bolt of lightning.

The man moved as fast as lightning, smashing the bear with his hammer and chopping down the man with his sword without any hesitation. It was obvious that he was a veteran with a lot of experience in killing. He would not hesitate to make a clean move.

Lin An was scared out of his wits when he saw the man's sword light.

This was truly a god-like opponent. He had cultivated for many years and had also seen his senior brothers and sisters compete in martial arts. How could he be so ruthless? He attacked continuously without giving them the slightest opportunity to breathe. Even the senior brothers with mortal bodies that he had seen before only possessed tremendous power that could topple mountains and overturn the seas. They would never be as aggressive and lethal with just their moves.

"Chu Xiong! "Chu Xiong!" Relying on himself to escape was already extremely difficult, but subconsciously, he desperately called out Chu Xiong in his mind.

Before he even finished yelling in his head, a black shadow had already rushed in front of him. Chu Xiong grabbed Lin An and rushed to the side.

With a swoosh, the sword light sliced a tree behind Lin Angang into two.

"That was close!" Lin An, who was being held by Chu Xiong, turned his head to see the ending of the big tree behind him. He let out a sigh.

"I'm not out of danger yet." Chu Xiong let out a low roar. Lowering his body, he grabbed Lin An with one hand and threw himself forward with all his might.

The huge hammer in the sky roared.

Boom!

With a loud sound, the huge hammer smashed another two to three meters deep hole into the ground.

Seeing that his attack had missed again, the man's face sank. He now understood that although the opposing Guiyun Monastery's kid had quite the ability to control beasts, his own strength was still mediocre.

What he relied on was completely and utterly the power of Black Bear!

However …

The man looked at Black Bear and frowned. He had seen Black Bear many times, but he had never seen a spirit beast that was so easy to control.

Ordinary spirit beasts would either obey their master's orders to fight valiantly or be controlled to the point of being extremely stiff. However, the Daoist Priest from the Gui Yun Sect, who was in front of him, had already mastered beast taming and seemed to be of the same mind as Black Bear.

This sort of tacit understanding …

Too rare...

"Fortunately, both he and Black Bear are low-level. If they were mid-level or high-level, it would be terrible!" The man thought to himself as his killing intent intensified.

As a disciple of Sage Yellowbrow, he had always been hostile towards the Daoist Priest of the Gui Yun Sect. Furthermore, he couldn't let the Daoist Priest of the Gui Yun Sect escape on this secret mission.

The man waved his hand and the hammer in the air shrank back into his storage bag. Black Bear's movements were extremely nimble as he dodged the giant hammer's attacks several times. The giant hammer was cast by the yellow-browed man using his spirit energy, so the consumption of spirit energy was enormous. It couldn't be used indefinitely.

The man was decisive in killing. Seeing that he could not quickly cure his opponent with one move, he made a new move in an instant!

The man lightly patted his storage bag as nine silver needles appeared in his hand. However, these nine silver needles were different from ordinary needles. Not only did they exude spirit energy, they also gave off a slight chill.

Even with the man's high cultivation level, his entire body was freezing cold. He even activated his spirit energy to protect himself.

"I didn't expect to use the 'Icebreaking Silver Needle' so soon!" The man's expression was somewhat obsessed, both excited and expectant.

When he first set out, the Ice-Shattering Needles were a treasure bestowed by his master, the yellow-browed man, and refined using innate ice produced in the coldest place. The treasure contained a cold energy, causing mortals to die instantly.

The man naturally knew the power of the silver needles. He had already triggered his spiritual power, and a faint yellow light surrounded his body, isolating the coldness of the needles.

The reason why this treasure was so powerful was because it wasn't an ordinary treasure at all, but a high-grade magic tool.

This was a high-grade magic tool that even high-level cultivators with mortal bodies may not necessarily have!

The Ice-Shattering Silver Needles was a temporary treasure that his master had bestowed upon him. When he returned after completing his mission, it would be taken back into his master's possession.

If it wasn't for the important and dangerous mission of the men and farmers, the treasure wouldn't have been given to them.

This high-grade magic tool was something Master had prepared to leave to them to deal with the high-level direct disciples of the Azure Province.

He could preserve his life, but he could also kill enemies!

This was the first time that a man had used something like this. It was a strange experience, but in plain words, it was like his hands were itching. As a result, his mood was extremely complicated.

A cautious, complicated, yet subtle feeling only lasted for a moment before the man raised his head. He was not a naive person. The enemy was right in front of him, and he had to kill him first.

Hm?!

The man looked up and his expression froze. After Chu Xiong had dodged the huge hammer, he stood there like a human. He flung off his two short legs and ran for his life. The little Daoist from Returning Cloud Temple was caught under the arm of the black bear and trembled. The scene was extremely comical.

It turned out that Chu Xiong saw that the situation was not good and ran.

He didn't really have a blood feud with this man. From going up the mountain to getting ambushed, Chu Xiong was always being looked for for trouble. Earlier, Chu Xiong was barely able to fight, so he practiced his martial arts. Now that he met a tough opponent, he didn't want to be brave and fight for his life. Even though he knew there was a tiger on the mountain, he still wanted to walk on it.

As long as there were mountains, there would be no fear of burning firewood.

As long as he didn't die, sooner or later, he would make a comeback!

Chu Xiong sprinted all the way, only to see two bear ears flapping in the wind and Lin An trembling like a sieve.

Chu Xiong crazily ran, this was quite a pain for Lin An. Lin An had just been smashed by Chu Xiong's tree trunk, and his body was covered in wounds, but now he was frantically running under Chu Xiong's armpits.

This taste...

How refreshing!

"You can't escape!" The man was so angry that he gripped the silver needle tightly and let out a low moan. Then, he saw the spiritual Qi from the air gush into his legs.

The farmer knew the Earth Elemental Art. Naturally, he knew it too, and he was even more proficient in it!

He coldly snorted, strode forward, and quickly chased after Chu Xiong.
