Chapter 811: Chapter 805: Expert?

The beautiful eyes shifted momentarily and then inexplicably fixated on a certain carriage, precisely where Ye Xuan was staying.

"Could it be this guy?"

Her gaze paused on the carriage. Lu Youlan’s long eyelashes fluttered lightly, but after a moment of thought, she shook her head. It seemed unlikely. Although Ye Xuan was strong, he shouldn’t be capable of such masterful techniques without even appearing.

Before she could ponder further, Deng Quan’s cold voice descended from the sky.

"Which esteemed master is here? I am Deng Quan of the Butcher Group. If there’s any offense, I hope for your forgiveness. However, today’s matter is personal between us and these people, so I ask you not to interfere." Deng Quan scanned the sky slightly, then clasped his fists and said.

Though this unexpected interference annoyed him greatly, being someone who bullies the weak but fears the strong, he was also cautious about provoking a formidable expert. He knew exactly when to act tough and when to be humble.

However, his words were met with no response, leaving Deng Quan’s face slightly sullen. The other party was showing no respect at all.

"Could it be that the expert has already left after intervening?"

Ji Shan’s expression also changed. That mysterious expert was their lifeline; if he left, they’d be in real trouble.

"Not sure. Prepare to face the enemy. We can’t predict what an expert might do."

Lu Youlan’s expression also turned serious. She couldn’t rule out Ji Shan’s possibility, perhaps an expert passing by decided to help due to a good mood, or left due to urgent matters.

"Looks like that old man really left."

After waiting for a moment without any movement or response, Deng Quan regained his arrogant demeanor and looked at Lu Youlan with renewed heat in his eyes. "Little girl, the women Master Xia sets his eyes on seldom escape. You better obey; I’ll take good care of you."

With True Yuan surging, Deng Quan let out a lewd laugh, then reached out with a swift speed like that of a predatory beast towards Lu Youlan.

Lu Youlan’s expression was serious. However, she was also a young prodigy, at the First Grade Martial Saint level. Technically, Deng Quan was only one level above her.

Clang!

His claw struck Lu Youlan’s long sword, sparks flying everywhere, though the fierce force wasn’t completely deflected and still shook Lu Youlan back.

"Still trying to struggle? Red Star Holy Fist!"

Deng Quan mobilized his True Yuan, a frantic energy gathering at his fist, like a hot little sun, locking onto Lu Youlan.

"Thousand-foot Sword Skill!"

Lu Youlan wielded her long sword, the blade seemingly extending invisibly, creating the heavy aura of a thousand-foot mountain with that strike.

Boom!

The fierce attacks collided with substantial force.

Though Deng Quan’s level was higher, Lu Youlan’s Martial Arts skills were quite good. Deng Quan found it difficult to defeat Lu Youlan in a short time; they were evenly matched.

Inside the carriage, Ye Xuan watched the scene and chuckled, "Your sister is quite capable. Even if the expert left, it seems she’s managing well."

"Of course, you should see whose sister she is. Why did that expert leave, though? He could’ve easily dealt with someone like Deng Quan."

Lu Qi mused with some confusion.

"Probably headed off for something urgent."

Ye Xuan replied with a smile.

In mid-air, after several minutes of battle, a cold gleam flashed in Deng Quan’s eyes. Suddenly, as he waved his sleeve closer to Lu Youlan, a cold needle shot out abruptly aimed at Lu Youlan.

Alarmed, Lu Youlan quickly dodged, but at that instant, a conspiratorial look appeared in Deng Quan’s eyes. His other sleeve suddenly waved, and a gas arrow formed from a black mist shot forward, exploding directly in front of Lu Youlan.

The black mist immediately enveloped Lu Youlan. After she became enshrouded, her eyes quickly turned dazed, clearly poisoned.

"Damn, this despicable scoundrel!"

Ji Shan’s expression turned grim. Lu Youlan was their main force, and if she were taken out by this scoundrel, the consequences would be disastrous.

This bastard actually used such dirty tactics.

"Haha, no poison, no man. This ain’t your home; who’s gonna fight fair with you? Don’t worry, sweetie. I won’t kill you. I can’t bear to hurt you."

Deng Quan laughed heartily and darted toward Lu Youlan, who was currently in a dazed state, unable to resist Deng Quan’s lecherous grasp.

"Protect the young lady!"

Just as Ji Shan and others were about to advance, a formless attack suddenly appeared mid-air, transforming into a fearsome Sword Qi that shot out. This invisible sword was difficult to perceive with the naked eye; in just a blink, a powerful force exploded in his chest, violently shattering the scales on his skin, and he was flung backward.

"Such terrifying soul power!"

Deng Quan barely steadied himself, but his face was filled with horror. The one who just struck was evidently a master with extremely powerful soul power, needing no appearance to leave him in such a sorry state.

"The elder hasn’t left!"

Ji Shan was stunned at first but then was overjoyed.

Boom!

Before Deng Quan could think further, he felt the winds above his head gather again, forming a massive soul sword. This time, it was even larger than before, carrying an intimidating pressure.

"Fine, you win!"

Staring at the reformed soul sword, Deng Quan’s body hairs stood slightly on end, his face filled with increasing dread. Finally, with a scream, he turned around and dashed frantically into the forest under the stunned eyes of Ji Shan and others, disappearing with a few flashes.

In that soul sword, Deng Quan felt a bone-chilling murderous intent. He knew that if he lingered, the owner of that soul power would undoubtedly obliterate him. Having survived here for so long, Deng Quan was keenly aware of whom to provoke and whom to avoid. Offending such a terrifying master for a beauty was not worth it.

With Deng Quan’s retreat, the Butcher Group’s experts on both sides of the canyon also fled instantly. Even the ten-odd lizards blocking the path scrambled into the forest, and in just a few minutes, the tightly blocked canyon became empty again, leaving Ji Shan and others in awe.

Were these fleeing cowards really the "God-Slaying" Deng Quan they knew?
