Chapter 71

Chapter 71: They’re gonna die!

Ming and the four others couldn’t have imagined that there would be a man standing beside a Thunderstorm Bear.

What was the relationship between this man and the Thunderstorm Bear?

Just as the man finished speaking, the Thunderstorm Bear opened its eyes.

“ROOOAAARR!”

Upon seeing Ming and the others, the Thunderstorm Bear extended its massive paw, swatting at them like flies.

Ming and the others flipped through the air, narrowly dodging the bear’s attack.

“The situation’s not good. Retreat!”

Eleven meters away…

From behind the Thunderstorm Bear’s heels, a man stepped forward.

Not only were the man himself surprising, but even Yanhan and the others were shocked.

Ming and Yanhan charged forward, braving the thunder, leaping into the air – Ming from the left, Yanhan from the right – both simultaneously kicking the Thunderstorm Bear in the face.

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Ming either.

Han, Haizhi, and Yin were sent flying five meters away.

Ten meters!

The second form of Heaven Opening Fist – Earthshaker!

“BOOM!”

A Martial Artist at the Mercury Mirror stage versus a Cultivator at the Sea Observing Realm. At ten meters distance, the Cultivator holds the advantage. But once they’re up close, it’s almost certainly fatal.

“KABOOM!”

An ice sword rapidly expanded before Yanhan’s eyes.

“Yanhan! Stop!”

Ming smashed one with a punch, and with his other foot, helped Yin destroy another.

The Thunderstorm Bear burst out from the cave, standing upright and roaring loudly.

Just as Yanhan was about to be pierced, she felt herself being shoved aside.

But how could this man let Ming and the others escape so easily?

The man coughed a few times, pointing his finger at the two.

Where did this man get such strength?

Ming took a step forward, continuously gathering拳罡 on his fist.

With a roar, the Thunderstorm Bear unleashed several bolts of lightning around him.

After being pushed back by this small fry, the Thunderstorm Bear felt an immense sense of shame and chased after him.

Yanhan swung her long leg, whipping it at the bear’s ankle, causing the Thunderstorm Bear to fall forward with a “THUD”.

Then, Haizhi and Han each threw a punch from either side, their True Qi manifesting as blood-red tigers biting towards the Thunderstorm Bear.

Soon after, Yin saw Ming and the others rushing out from the cave.

“ROOOAAARR!”

Ming retreated five meters, his right fist trembling uncontrollably.

Icicles shot towards Ming and Yanhan.

The Thunderstorm Bear’s head buzzed, stars circling in its eyes.

“Retreat!”

In such a confined cave, it was inconvenient for them to maneuver. In open space, they’d have a better chance.

Ming felt that for the five of them to kill this monster was already quite a stretch. After all, Blood Floating Pagoda always undertook these kinds of difficult missions.

When Yanhan reached within ten meters of the man, her boxing power nearly reached its peak, ready to explode his head with one punch, when suddenly Ming’s loud shout stopped her.

The man looked at Ming, surprise evident in his expression.

Ming’s strength was abnormal.

Yanhan and Ming both unleashed relentless punches onto the downed Thunderstorm Bear’s head.

“ROAR!”

The man understood this principle well.

The Thunderstorm Bear was brought down by Ming.

Before Yanhan stood hundreds of icy filaments, sharp like blades, capable of slicing a person into pieces at the slightest touch.

Yanhan promptly retracted her boxing power, planting her heel into the ground to stop herself.

“ROAR!”

Outside the cave, Yin heard the bear’s roar from inside and shivered, his face pale.

“What formidable Martial Artists. The Wu Kingdom is truly impressive… cough cough…”

Every punch the four delivered onto the Thunderstorm Bear elicited a roar from it.

Ming led the charge back, the others following closely behind.

The man chanted incantations, spells bombarding Yanhan.

The Thunderstorm Bear leaped into the air, landing directly in front of Ming and the others.

“BOOM!”

The man chanted another incantation, five ice snakes lunging towards them.

Ming and Yanhan turned simultaneously, punching forth and shattering the ice spears.

But against a Cultivator at the Sea Observing Realm, Ming still held confidence.

Apart from Yin, who trembled and sat on the ground in fear, Ming and the others rushed forward. Martial True Qi transformed into blood red, swirling around their arms.

Now, however, there was an additional Cultivator, and Ming had no idea what level this Cultivator was at.

The True Qi tiger was dispelled; unable to evade the thunder, Ming and the others gathered Martial True Qi in front of them to withstand the assault.

It was just as Yanhan had halted her movement, in that brief pause, the man drew a sword hilt, pointing it straight at Yanhan’s heart: “You truly are talented, but I’m sorry.”

Yanhan resisted with Martial True Qi surrounding her body.

Something was off about the monster attacks in Xinping County!

Although Ming didn’t know how Yanhan figured it out.

Ming spun through the air, landing on the shoulder of the Thunderstorm Bear, delivering an Earthshaker punch.

The size difference between Ming’s small fist and the Thunderstorm Bear’s massive paw was stark, yet upon impact, the bear was pushed back three meters.

“I’ll go kill him, you buy some time.” Yanhan said and immediately charged forward.

As soon as the man finished speaking, the hilt in his hand flashed with white light, an infinitely extending ice blade thrusting toward Yanhan’s heart.

“ROAR!”

“Cough… cough…” The man coughed a few times, smiling at Ming and the others, “Since you’ve come, why don’t you stay?”

Yanhan turned her head and realized Ming had somehow arrived, tackling her to the ground.

But now, the wisest move would be to retreat and report back to Wudu.

The moment Ming and the others landed, they bolted toward the cave’s exit.

“Don’t worry, he’s just a Cultivator at the Sea Observing Realm,” Yanhan said to Ming.

Is he really just at the Mercury Mirror stage?

The Thunderstorm Bear’s scorpion-like tail struck toward Ming. Ming leapt up, flying kick aimed at its chin. The bear spat out a mouthful of foam, losing a tooth.

The Thunderstorm Bear dropped onto all fours, charging straight at the five of them.

On Ming’s side, the Thunderstorm Bear was already up, seemingly enraged, wildly clawing at Ming.

Fourteen meters.

Fifteen meters.

The man patted the Thunderstorm Bear’s heel, “Go.”

Ming, while leading the bear away, kept an eye on Yanhan’s situation.

Yanhan was tackled to the ground by Ming, feeling her clothes gradually getting wet. Ming’s shoulder bore a bloody hole.

The constantly beaten Thunderstorm Bear roared, charging toward them. It had to crush these bothersome flies!

Haizhi and Han struggled to rise from the ground, attempting to stop the giant bear but were slapped away. They collided with a tree, their fates uncertain.

“What to do… What to do…” Ignored until now, Yin sat on the ground, trembling legs shaking, “Move! They’re going to die! Hurry up and move!”
