Chapter 709 Sword-wielding Taoist
The lion was tense. After the series of events that had just occurred, the sensitive lion would not let any potential danger slip by. Therefore, after noticing the movement in the bushes, he immediately became fully focused.
However, despite his shouts, no one emerged from the bushes. This made the Lion even more vigilant. He gripped his giant axe, bracing himself for any potential enemies.
"you...."
Rustle ~ Rustle ~
grumble?
Just as the lion was about to probe further, the bushes suddenly rustled, and a moment later, a plump rabbit jumped out. Upon noticing the tense and aggressive lion, the rabbit was immediately startled and hopped back into the bushes.
It was a false alarm...
Looking at the now motionless bushes, the Lion King let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't think he had done anything wrong, after all, in this situation... who!!!
Suddenly! The Lion felt several extremely malicious gazes coming from behind it, and they could not possibly be coming from any creature like a rabbit.
Have they caught up yet?!
Without the slightest hesitation, upon sensing the malicious gaze, he immediately reached for his waist, and in the next instant, several gleaming throwing knives appeared between his fingers.
Whoosh! ! ! !
Several whooshing sounds rang out as throwing knives were hurled out in an instant. Under the powerful force of the Lion, these throwing knives burst forth with extremely fast speed, like bullets, and arrived at the location of the attack in just a few breaths.
Whoosh! Thump! Thump!
The forest was dense with trees and had a complex environment. Several seconds after the first two throwing knives disappeared into the forest, a dull thud was heard. The Lion King deduced that they had hit a tree.
The other one, although it also saw the creature fly into the forest, did not receive any feedback for a long time. Seeing this, the lion's heart sank.
Was it intercepted?
As the lion pondered, it gripped its giant axe and took a step back. Just then, a teasing greeting suddenly rang out from the deep forest.
"It's our first meeting, young friend, why such a temper?"
The person in the woods spoke in a long, drawn-out tone, with a hint of contentment, like a hermit who had lived deep in the mountains for a long time, proud yet calm.
The lion could tell from the voice that the newcomer was no ordinary person. Seeing this, he became even more tense and stared intently at the figure that came out.
The newcomer was a man dressed in a dark gray Taoist robe, wearing a tattered white mask on his face. His long black hair was tied into a bun, with the rest hanging down his back. He held a silver-white sword in his hand, and a gourd with a black top and white bottom hung at his waist.
If the Lion King had ever been to the Spider Cave in Green Tree City, he would have noticed that the man in front of him bore a striking resemblance to the Taoist priest in the mysterious medical clinic.
Of course, there are some differences. The one in the clinic is far superior to the one in front of him in terms of clothing details and demeanor. Compared to that one, this Taoist priest seems rather ordinary.
But don't underestimate him because of that, because...
"You and that guy are together?!"
The sudden appearance of such a strangely dressed fellow in the dense forest was bound to arouse suspicion. Considering the previous battle, the Lion King suspected that these guys were connected to the monster Beto.
Therefore, upon discovering that the visitor was a living person, he not only did not lower his guard, but became even more tense.
"You mean that young friend? Hmm... This is the first time I've met him, but I was passing by when I found him lying on the ground. I couldn't bear it, so I reached out to help him. Now he is..."
"Then die!!!"
Just as the sword-wielding Taoist was calmly describing the events that had just occurred, the raging lion standing in the distance suddenly sprang up and rushed towards the sword-wielding Taoist at an incredible speed. Then, it raised its giant axe and brought it down with tremendous force!
Although he only heard a few words, the Lion King sensed something was wrong. Realizing that the person in front of him was up to no good, he acted decisively and took the initiative to strike first.
I imagine he'll fall quickly after my surprise attack!
call! ! ! !
Bang----!!!
A crisp sound echoed through the forest, and the smug and arrogant lion's expression froze instantly, as if it had seen something unbelievable.
The Lion King stands over 2.2 meters tall, with a muscular physique and an extremely ferocious aura, making him resemble a small behemoth. Many people are so frightened that their legs go weak before they even begin to fight him.
As for the sword-wielding Taoist, he was only about 1.7 meters tall. He wasn't very tall, nor did he have strong muscles. While he wouldn't be blown away by a gust of wind, he was at most the build of an ordinary person.
When faced with the towering lion, he was like a doll, seemingly about to be torn to pieces at any moment.
Yet, despite all this, he seemed to effortlessly deflect the attack when faced with the sudden assault of the Lion King.
Click~click~
Looking at the silver-white sword blocking his way, the Lion was filled with doubt. He was clearly superior to his opponent in both weapon and physique, so why did his opponent block the attack so easily?
Could it be that I've been too lax?
The Lion King was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't remain puzzled for long, because the next moment arrived, and he began to exert even more force.
As the infamous leader of a mercenary group, the Lion King, with his Silver Six-Star strength, is no ordinary person, nor is he a pushover.
Once he starts to exert his strength, he will definitely be a formidable opponent.
Click!
drink----!
The lion roared like a wild beast, its muscles bulged, and its skin turned red. As the immense force spread, the silver-white sword under the giant axe began to tremble slightly, and the sword-wielding Taoist's body began to bend slightly, as if he could no longer withstand the force.
Hmph! That's more like it! How could just anyone possibly block my attack? I was only holding back just now. Now that I'm serious, you think you can fight me with a nobody like you?!
court death! ! !
Drink! ! !
The next moment, the Lion roared and pushed the giant axe down with even greater force, as if it would crush the frail Taoist priest in front of it at any moment.
However.....
call!!!!!
With a gentle breeze, the Sword Master, who had been suppressed by him, suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye.
What! ! ! !
