Chapter 1199 - 1197: Escape

The people sitting in the City Lord’s Mansion were already dumbfounded, evidently shocked by the scene before them; they never expected Wang Zhan and his companions to possess such formidable strength!

They now thoroughly understood the disparity between themselves and Wang Zhan’s group!

As a series of loud bangs echoed through the sky, they saw the demonic beast enveloped by the sword shadow, amidst its sinister roars, its body was completely covered in blood, looking extremely ragged!

However, Wang Zhan showed no sympathy whatsoever, presumably because this beast’s hands were stained with plenty of its kind’s blood, and if these beasts are not exterminated, it would certainly lead many into difficult times, so they must be dealt with!

Furthermore, the beast before him had grown so strong, which indeed surprised Wang Zhan, after all, he had never encountered such a formidable demonic beast!

But what Wang Zhan absolutely couldn’t understand was why Xiao Tianyin had this kind of beast by his side?

Could it really be just to have this extra trump card?

But the strength of this beast was far inferior to Xiao Tianyin, so if confronted by powerful enemies, this beast could offer no assistance!

Just at this moment, seeing the beast’s aura grow weaker, Xiao Tianyin soared into the air directly, appearing before the beast, standing swiftly atop its head, before gritting his teeth while glaring at Wang Zhan and his companions, spitting out a few words, "You bastards, today you’ve pushed me to such a miserable state!"

"But today’s matter absolutely won’t be let go easily, since your strengths are considerable, but this isn’t the basis for arrogance, one day I will definitely seek justice from you, and settle this account!"

"Today I’ll not linger here longer with you, I don’t wish to waste my time further, the mountain doesn’t move, but the water changes course, eventually we’ll have the chance to chat properly!"

"When that time comes, you will surely regret your actions today!"

Xiao Tianyin patted the beast’s head, hearing it roar a couple more times, swiftly transforming into a suit of armor, covering Xiao Tianyin!

Xiao Tianyin then raised his hands quickly, like sharp knives, tearing open a space rift before him, disappearing from Wang Zhan’s sight!

Wang Zhan realized then, that this beast had completely merged with Xiao Tianyin, even following his intentions, the most terrifying part being its ability to transform into armor capable of tearing space!

"Hexagonal Golden Snake! We absolutely cannot let this guy escape just like that!"

"We must find a way to stop him!"

Wang Zhan shouted urgently, no one knew where Xiao Tianyin might go once gone, so Wang Zhan needed to be careful, lest things become more troublesome and complex!

The Hexagonal Golden Snake’s expression was extremely grim, ready to act when he saw Xiao Tianyin had already vanished into the void, leaving only his words in the air.

"Before long, not only will you pay a painful price, but everyone inside Sky Pavilion will accompany your burial for your deeds. You will become the pavilion’s traitor!"

In an instant, Xiao Tianyin disappeared completely.

Everyone present was shocked by the scene before them, considering themselves strong on the Star War Battlefield, they naturally had a basic understanding of many things happening there, even witnessing numerous experts, hearing many legends, yet without knowing what method Xiao Tianyin used to vanish without a trace.

The most frightening was, despite Hexagonal Golden Snake having the upper hand, Xiao Tianyin still managed to slip away, that was the truly horrifying part upon reflection!

In no time, Hexagonal Golden Snake returned to Wang Zhan’s side, frowning as he said, "This is all my fault, if I had been prepared, I wouldn’t let this guy escape like that, but now it’s too late to say anything, as I really couldn’t keep him here."

"It seems like what we can do now is return to Sky Pavilion as soon as possible, then discuss a strategy with everyone there, at least fortifying the pavilion’s defenses, and during this time, ensuring the people inside remain vigilant, lest Xiao Tianyin ambushes them."

Within Sky Pavilion, the people’s strengths were divided into various levels, with numerous strong individuals, but also many who lacked power, if someone like Wang Zhan encountered Xiao Tianyin, he might not be a match, but could still engage in a maneuver with him, while Hexagonal Golden Snake and others would respond to any commotion and provide immediate support!

Whereas if the weaker individuals faced Xiao Tianyin, they’d be killed instantly, and if Xiao Tianyin continued using such tactics, the pavilion would be thrown into chaos, with everyone present unwilling to stay longer, hence forcing Wang Zhan to change his plans!

Wang Zhan bit his teeth tightly, frowning for a while before speaking, "Given the situation now, you can’t be blamed, and had you not come, Sword Spirit and I would’ve lost our lives long ago. I’m just upset at Xiao Tianyin’s eerie nature, leaving so abruptly, and the words he said were surely not empty, hence following your advice and making proper arrangements is best!"

The Hexagonal Golden Snake nodded along before continuing, "In that case, we shouldn’t waste more time here, let’s hurry back to Sky Pavilion, after all, no one knows if Xiao Tianyin has a way to recover quickly, word is that his strength has suffered, yet this guy is indeed peculiar, but being from Xiao Family, surely he has certain trump cards."

Wang Zhan nodded in response, acknowledging that Xiao Family was influential, holding a place on Star War Battlefield, coupled with numerous experts, likely possessing many elixirs and texts, naturally not to be underestimated!

Now it’s a matter of life and death, all matters need proper handling.

Wang Zhan’s gaze shifted toward those seated in the City Lord’s Mansion, who were already stunned by the unfolding events. Before Wang Zhan appeared, they believed Xiao Tianyin was an invincible presence in Gold City, with no one daring to challenge him, yet never expected Wang Zhan’s strength to be so terrifying, although he didn’t fight Xiao Tianyin directly, Hexagonal Golden Snake was his ally, which demanded respect.

All of a sudden, the people knelt on the ground, their faces at an extreme, hastily speaking, "Mr. Wang, we never intended to trouble you, only threatened by Xiao Tianyin, but rest assured, we’ll adhere to our previous agreement, from now on, you’ll lead us!"

"With Xiao Tianyin now targeting you as his primary enemy, you’ll need to recruit forces quickly, we know there are experts inside Sky Pavilion, yet our addition will make handling pavilion matters much simpler!"

Many concurred with him, prioritizing preserving their lives, deeming other matters less important.

But Wang Zhan managed a cold smile, looking icily at the crowd before uttering each word deliberately, "I overheard your conversation before entering, do you take me for a child? To believe your sweet-talk? If not for me dealing with Xiao Tianyin, you’d surely align with him instantly, moreover, without me showing such formidable strength, you’d have kicked me while down!"

Wang Zhan lacked any relationship with them, yet Hexagonal Golden Snake had already pointed out, it was evident they intended to act, their stance imperceptible to his eyes.

The crowd shook their heads and sighed in unison, yet no one spoke, but their eyes were full of pleading.

One should know, during this period, they actively sought to elevate their power, aiming to dominate, never expecting to meet such a formidable opponent like Wang Zhan here, leading to present circumstances, the most shocking aspect to them.

Thus they desired to remedy the situation, yet Wang Zhan hardly gave them a chance to explain, leaving them helpless.

"Why waste words with them? They’re merely ants, seeing them annoys me, best to eliminate them and hurry back to Sky Pavilion!"

Hexagonal Golden Snake cast a cold glance at the group, speaking directly, "Anyway, the pavilion needs its forces expanded, these people are our obstacles, since they’ve already offended us, let’s send them off!"
