Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: An Ant Trying to Shake a Tree, Overestimating One’s Own Abilities!

"It’s a Spirit Beast! Damn it!"

Sun Guangyi, sensing the formidable aura of a Spirit Beast from that shadowy figure, couldn’t help but turn pale with shock.

However, as a Universe Level mid-rank expert who had experienced countless battles, even though he was caught off guard by the sudden attack, he did not panic. His eyes burst forth with a sharp glint as he roared and mustered all his strength to strike with his palms.

From the aura emitted by the Spirit Beast that was pouncing towards him, Sun Guangyi knew that its strength was no less than his own. As he struck with his palms, he wasn’t hoping to repel the Spirit Beast, but only to slow its lunging momentum, to snatch a brief respite for himself.

At that moment, Sun Guangyi suddenly recalled Fang Bai once saying "This gorge is full of dangers, everyone be careful" when their team entered Black Wind Gorge. At the time, he didn’t take it seriously, but now, regret was futile.

Sun Guangyi never imagined that in the marsh, which had not seen a Spirit Beast emerge for a thousand years, one would suddenly burst out and launch an attack on him, its strength far exceeding his expectations.

Faced with the oppressive force so immense it almost suffocated him, Sun Guangyi was certain that the Spirit Beast attacking him was at least on par with a high rank Universe Level human expert. Despite giving his all, dodging its attack would be no easy feat.

Just then, another loud boom resounded behind him; on the other side of the small island, a dark figure surged forth—it was another Spirit Beast lunging at him, its aura as potent as the first.

Two equally powerful Spirit Beasts, one attacking from the front and one from the back, almost at the same time. The mere pressure of their combined assaults was nearly too much for Sun Guangyi to bear.

Moreover, this small island was dozens of feet away from the marsh’s edge, where Fang Bai and the others were located. Even if they wanted to come to his aid, they simply couldn’t make it in time.

This time, it seemed he was doomed to fall in this marsh.

"It’s over!"

Sun Guangyi’s face ashen, his heart chilled with despair, he even gave up the will to resist.

"Steward Sun!"

At the edge of the marsh, Li Jingren and the other disciples from Golden Crow Manor shouted in unison, eyes wide with rage and helplessness.

As onlookers, they saw things even more clearly; the two Spirit Beasts attacking Sun Guangyi were several zhang in length, with bodies as black as ink and eight claws on their undersides, looking hideously terrifying.

"Who would have thought that within this small marsh, there would lurk an Eight-Clawed Giant Lizard of about three thousand years..."

Fang Bai muttered to himself, then let out a clear whistle.

All this way, both Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren had treated Fang Bai with great respect, leaving a good impression on him. Fang Bai naturally could not bear to watch Sun Guangyi perish here, so that whistle was the Beast Taming Secret Technique, an attempt to bail out Sun Guangyi.

"Steward Sun, if not now, when would you escape?"

After the clear whistle from Fang Bai, he immediately alerted Sun Guangyi with the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique, urging him to quickly leave the small island in the marsh.

With the combined attack power that could even match a Universe Level expert at perfection, two Eight-Clawed Giant Lizards were formidable adversaries. Although Fang Bai could exercise the Beast Taming Secret Technique on them, such a technique consumed a significant amount of concentration, so he couldn’t control them for an extended period.

In the immediacy of the situation, Fang Bai decided to first create an opportunity for Sun Guangyi to escape, leaving the slaying of the two Spirit Beasts for later.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

There was another two thunderous booms, but this time it wasn’t the spirit beasts charging out—it was the two eight-clawed leviathans that were swooping down on Sun Guangyi, now temporarily under Fang Bai’s control due to the influence of a howling sound emitted through the beast taming secret technique. Their bodies plummeted sharply, falling back into the marsh.

Sun Guangyi was quick to react. Hearing Fang Bai’s voice beside his ear, he then saw the two spirit beasts attacking him suddenly fall into the marsh. How could he not understand that this was Fang Bai lending a hand?

Sun Guangyi was a man of wide experience and knowledge, aware that Fang Bai must have performed some kind of beast taming secret technique, briefly disrupting the two spirit beasts, buying himself a chance to escape. Without stopping to marvel at Fang Bai’s mysterious methods, he immediately leapt up, using the floating logs on the marsh to return to Fang Bai and the others’ side.

"Whew..."

After landing on his feet, Sun Guangyi let out a breath, looking back at the two eight-clawed leviathans that had fallen into the swamp, and couldn’t help feeling a cold shiver of fear.

"Senior Fang, I can’t thank you enough. If you ever need my assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask, I’ll never shun death in fulfilling my duty!"

Sun Guangyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gave Fang Bai a deep, respectful bow, his attitude even more deferential.

At this moment, Sun Guangyi was utterly in awe of Fang Bai.

An unaffiliated martial artist, Fang Bai was in his mere twenties, not only possessing extraordinary strength capable of slaying Universe Level mid-rank experts, but he was also versed in alchemy, and now exhibited a beast taming secret technique. Among the countless young martial artists in the True Martial Realm, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to consider him one of the very few outstanding talents, a rare breed that would make most of the privileged scions in various large sects feel ashamed.

"Steward Sun is too kind," Fang Bai said with a wave of his hand, then looked back toward a dense forest in the distance, a trace of coldness crossing his eyes. He then pointed to a pile of large rocks on the left and said to Xia Chenyu and the others, "You all hide behind those rocks first. After I take care of that bunch, we’ll continue on our way!"

Upon hearing Fang Bai’s words, Xia Chenyu and the others were taken aback, their gazes instinctively following the direction Fang Bai had just glanced over.

Ultimately, Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren were Universe Level experts, and hadn’t noticed anyone tailing them amidst the distractions. But now, focusing their attention, they sensed hundreds of martial artist auras, strong and weak, emanating from that forest, their expressions turning serious and concentrated.

Among those hundreds of martial artist auras, there were about a dozen that were clearly from Universe Level experts, and even the weakest was from a Cosmic Level expert. They had followed stealthily, evidently with bad intentions and meant no good.

"They’re all here for me, and it looks like they want this head of mine!" Fang Bai said, pointing to his own head with a chuckle.

"Ants trying to shake a tree, utterly overestimating themselves!" Xia Chenyu bit her lip and her beautiful eyes exuded a frosty coldness as she voiced a cold snort.

Sun Guangyi and the others also felt those pursuers were simply courting death. Although they outnumbered them, given Fang Bai’s displayed strength, dealing with them wouldn’t be difficult; it was just a matter of how long it would take.

The two eight-clawed leviathans that had fallen into the marsh regained their clarity the moment Fang Bai retracted his beast taming secret technique, and with blood-red eyes, they began to swim toward the shore where Fang Bai and others were located.

Despite their enormous size, they were not at all clumsy. Their swimming speed was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, they reached the shore.

Even with Fang Bai by their side, Xia Chenyu and the others couldn’t help but tense up upon seeing the eight-clawed leviathans rapidly approaching. They immediately took cover behind a pile of large rocks nearby as Fang Bai had instructed.

"I’m not interested in dealing with those small fry... consider them a feast for you! And perhaps, this will be your last glorious meal!" Fang Bai said with a smile, as another howl issued from his mouth.

The two eight-clawed leviathans’ movements paused for a moment, their blood-red eyes once again clouded with confusion. Then, with a fierce and murderous aura, they charged past Fang Bai and pounced toward those followers hidden in the distant forest.
