With a big mouth behind him and a stone spear in front of him, Xia Xiao, who did not summon his contracted beast, was fighting two enemies alone. But when the thunder above his head sounded unusual, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the already dark sky.
The cockscomb-haired man was stunned by the thunder above his head, and the centipede was also startled. This thunder was unusual! In this grassland, there were rarely such exaggerated thunders.
The centipede opened its mouth very quickly, but not as fast as the lightning. Its poisonous palate was about to bite Xia Xiao, but was instantly covered by silver light. The silver light paralyzed its nerves, making it unable to move for a moment.
The cockscomb was shocked. Logically speaking, the centipede was covered with thick rocks, which should have been insulated. But when the lightning struck, the rocks on its body shattered, and it was electrocuted. After it fell to the ground, the cockscomb was weak for a moment.
"No wonder you haven't shown your true strength. It turns out that you are gathering in the thunder and lightning."
"clever."
Xia Xiao floated in the air and fell down slightly. The machete in his hand carried a terrifying lightning and thunder, which made the cockscomb head feel palpitated when it pointed at him.
"No, how come you have a complete wood element?"
The cockscomb panicked and quickly retreated. The centipede rolled on the ground, with burn marks all over its body. But it slowly got up and was still able to fight. After all, it was a wood-type beast. If it was a water-type beast, it would probably be electrocuted to death.
With his hands forming seals, the centipede returned to the contract space, saving some energy for the cockscomb-haired man, and the space around him became empty. Staring at Xia Xiao in front of him, he did not answer his question, but his eyes filled with lightning were extremely hot, which made the cockscomb-haired man inexplicably afraid.
He stomped his foot on the ground, and the rocks beside him suddenly stood up. The cockscomb-haired man reached into the rocks with his right hand and pulled out a sword, but he was not prepared to continue fighting. Although he was a horse thief and had killed countless people, he cherished his life very much.
"Perhaps we can discuss it."
Xia Xiao acted as if he was not willing to negotiate, his face as cold as ice.
"What do you need?"
"Your life."
"Except for this, I can give you everything. I have ten chests of gold and a hundred chests of silver!"
Xia Xiao was not interested, but he still stopped. This guy wanted to castrate him before, so he pointed to his crotch and said:
"I want those two eggs."
The cockscomb-headed man's face turned livid and he cursed:
"That's a bit too much, you beast!"
"snort!"
Xia Xiao knew this would happen, so he folded his wings and landed on his feet.
There were stone cones protruding from the ground, and stone pillars pressing against him diagonally, but he dodged them all. The cockscomb-headed man's eyes emitted a yellowish-brown light, and his body was covered with a thin film of vital energy. This could help him isolate himself from electricity, but Xia Xiao's silver lightning, as bright as a dragon, was only to hide the sharp blade underneath.
The broadsword collided with the highly solid stone sword. Although each lightning would leave a charred mark at the collision point, it still did not break, only a few cracks. However, it was able to support the Jiguantou and Xia Xiao to compete in combat experience and skills.
After a few moves, the cockscomb-headed man was defeated. He had seen many practitioners who were about the same age as the boy in front of him, but their skills were just fancy moves. But every time Xia Xiao swung his knife, it was to kill. As long as the purpose is clear, the temperament can become stronger.
The rhythm of the broadsword swinging was very good, disrupting the plan in Jiguan's mind. Xia Xiao attacked continuously, and his only defensive action was to withdraw the broadsword and block Jiguan's stone sword from the side. He could avoid the rest of the moves by dodging or evading.
"Let's fight head-on if you can!"
The cock-comb-headed man was furious. Even though Xia Xiao was standing in front of him, he still followed his will and swung his machete in a huge arc. The stone sword collided with it and broke into pieces. The cock-comb-headed man punched Xia Xiao in the abdomen. He was injured before, and the heavy punch at this time caused the wound to split open, but he only curled his lips slightly.
His abdomen was in pain, but the sword in Xia Xiao's hand had already pierced into Jiguantou's chest when he was trying to attack his own wound. The broadsword sucked blood, and the silver lightning tore through his flesh, which shocked him and made him realize. Jiguantou suddenly realized that Xia Xiao exposed his flaw just to let him attack him. This scheming boy was far from being as simple as he seemed.
"Who...are you?"
The earth and soil can block electricity, so the cockscomb can still speak clearly. But his internal organs are gradually eroded by Xia Xiao's power. Xia Xiao can hardly hurt the cockscomb who is good at defense. Since he can hurt him, he will never give up easily. Just like the prey bitten by the evil spirit, it is difficult to break free.
The cockscomb-head knelt there, gradually dying. There was still life in his pupils, which was Xia Xiao's cold face.
Xia Xiao never answered. This question was too complicated. He simply pulled out his broadsword. No blood came out, only blood stains, which were like deep lines engraved on the sword. Gathering the moisture in the air, Xia Xiao used water to clean it. However, this action made the cockscomb-headed man's eyes move.
Water, can he also use water energy?
The cockscomb-headed man had mixed feelings, but at the moment of death, he only thought about his brothers. They had followed him for so long, but it was a pity that they died today. In his gradually blurry eyes, Xia Xiao left in a hurry. But he was not going to his brothers.
The cockscomb fell to the ground, made close contact with the ground, and moved away from the grassland.
"marvelous!"
When the horse thieves could not see what was going on and forcibly pulled the horses in chaos, Xia Xiao returned to Ah Zhu. The latter clapped his hands happily. The horse thieves killed so many innocent people, and now they were finally done with. But Xia Xiao's face was not happy but worried. He lifted the two backpacks on the horse's back to his feet and asked Ah Zhu to loosen the reins.
"Why?"
"Someone more vicious is coming!"
Xia Xiao said, patting the back of Ah Zhu's hand. When she let go, the two inferior horses immediately looked to the west and panicked. Then they ran desperately in the opposite direction, without any problems at all. The talk of not being able to run and taking a break became a lie. Holding the slightly painful back of her hand, Ah Zhu saw Xia Xiao staring at the west and asked:
"More vicious than a horse thief?"
"Well, many times more vicious! We need to be prepared."
Xia Xiao put down his machete and formed seals with his hands. Thick tree roots immediately coiled around his body. They formed a ball, and then thin and tough vines began to grow. The vines filled all the gaps, making Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu's vision gradually dark.
"What kind of guy is so scary?"
"I don't know. The aura alone is terrifying. I hope they don't find us."
In addition to the spherical tree roots and vines, a large number of square wood were put together to form an extremely solid cube. The sound of the wood piles colliding was very crisp, but among them, Ah Zhu asked:
"Then aren't you being too evasive?"
"I know."
As his body fell, Ah Zhu fell to the ground, but Xia Xiao had already put this sealed space into the ground and covered it with soil and grass. He just hoped that the guy would leave within two hours, otherwise they would suffocate to death.
The fight between Jiguantou and Xia Xiao was over, but the bandits had no time to care. Their horses just ran away no matter how hard they tried, and even trampled two people to death. They had never encountered anything like this before.
"Hey, what's that?"
The horses ran away, heading east, running very fast. A horse thief pointed to the west, where there was a man, bent over, covered in blood, dripping onto the ground, one drop after another.
Are you hurt?
The bandits looked at each other in bewilderment. They were really strong to survive after consuming so much blood. But they were not pushovers. They just stood there and watched. But that guy suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of vertical pupils full of murderous intent. The vertical pupils were beasts, cold as a cave, full of murderous and bloodthirsty intent, like a wounded lone wolf that saw food.
