Beside the old man was a giant wolf with silver hair and even silver eyes. “I’m Meng Xiao, representing Beast Trainer Sect. I wonder who my opponent will be from Residence of Nine Supremes?”

Yun Yang waved his hand and Luo Dajiang strode into the field while holding his saber upside down. “I’m Luo Dajiang, representing Residence of Nine Supremes!”

After showing his mighty strength in the battle with Cangwu Union, Luo Dajiang’s status as Residence of Nine Supremes’ number one expert under Yun Yang had resounded through all sects with lower-class Celestial Luck Banners. No one dared to underestimate him or regard him as the former whetstone anymore, while his title of Supreme Saber spread like wildfire.

“Supreme Saber! Before, I only had a brief glimpse of you and didn’t have a chance to look at you from such a close distance. You are indeed very handsome and mighty, an outstanding man!” The old man slowly took out his weapon, which was a strangely shaped silver hook.

No one knew how many lives the silver hook had reaped. When it was taken out, its surface was shrouded in a layer of black light, which seemed very frightening.

Luo Dajiang’s face suddenly flickered as he said in a deep voice, “The Soul Reaper!”

The name ‘Meng Xiao’ might not sound familiar to him, but the Soul Reaper, who was very famous in the martial world, had left a deep impression in him.

The silver hook that reaped countless souls, and was the road to hell.

If he still could not remember who the old man was after seeing the strangely shaped silver hook, all those years he spent in the martial world would have been wasted.

“That’s just an undeserved title given to me by others.” Meng Xiao’s expression was unusually bleak, his white hair fluttering. “After you, Supreme Saber!”

A look of vigilance appeared on Luo Dajiang’s face as he glanced at the silver wolf that had risen to its feet in response to Meng Xiao’s movement. He slowly raised the saber in his hand and then said, “Please enlighten me, Senior!”

With that, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and as his expression became serious, a thick and heavy aura rose from his whole body.

Both of their divine senses were distracted by the place which had deprived their abilities to learn about the opponent’s fighting strength. However, as they stood facing each other at such a close distance, the perception of the aura was enough to let Meng Xiao have a brief understanding of Luo Dajiang. His face flickered, and the silver wolf also put on a look of vigilance almost at the same time.

The old man and the wolf felt that it was no longer a human being standing in front of them, but a heavy and unshakable mountain. With just a simple move, Luo Dajiang had covered all his weak spots and gave his opponent no chance to attack.

However, no weak spots did not mean that weak spots could not be created. Since Meng Xiao was such a famous person, he was naturally a seasoned warrior. The audience saw him tap lightly on the ground with the tip of his foot, then his body suddenly swayed as seven figures, each holding a silver hook, bolted out of him toward all directions.

In the next moment, eight Meng Xiao surrounded Luo Dajiang while streaks of flashing silver light converged into eight waves of attack that looked like the rising tide, roaring toward him together.

Meng Xiao’s attack had been very fierce so far, but every figure he had split up was accompanied by a silver wolf just like his true-self. These giant wolves moved with the tide as they leaped up and turned into streaks of silver light to pounce on Luo Dajiang!

As soon as the battle began, Meng Xiao showed everyone his mighty power as a seasoned expert. His fighting capability was indeed extraordinary, and the power was more than enough to shake the heaven.

In the face of such a powerful attack, Luo Dajiang did not dare to be careless. “Wind and rain in all directions!” he cried out.

Even as his voice was still ringing in the air, the saber in his hand moved. It wheeled around his body, creating a layer of barrier that tightly covered him from head to toe. After that, his burly body rushed forward without paying any attention to the attack that came from all around him.

He came to one of the silver wolf’s shadows and hacked it with the saber, splitting it in two. At that moment, a crisp clanging noise rang out—it was the noise produced when the saber hit the hook!

It also meant that Luo Dajiang had precisely identified the location of Meng Xiao’s true-self among the eight figures and then rushed to him directly, striking him with the saber!

Meng Xiao grunted as all his clones vanished in an instant. However, Luo Dajiang also grunted at the same time, because at the moment when his weapon and Meng Xiao’s collided head-on, the silver wolf’s claws had already grabbed his right shoulder, ripping his skin and flesh and sending his blood flying all over the place.

The silver wolf’s claws were surprisingly sharp.

The toughness of Luo Dajiang’s fleshly body now was at the level of Saint King. Even if he stood still and allowed an ordinary warrior to hack him hard with ordinary weapons, the defense of his body would not be breached. However, he was hurt by the wolf’s claws!

But, he was not the only one injured. The silver wolf also whimpered as its right front paw became bloody after attacking Luo Dajiang, with three claws broken. This was the counterattack of a Saint King; even a simple counterforce from the fleshly body had already injured the silver wolf.

At that very moment, Luo Dajiang suddenly turned around and, while showing Meng Xiao his back, raised his saber and slashed it down hard at the silver wolf, who was rapidly retreating due to the intense pain caused by the injury. The saber flashed like a bolt of lightning as a towering killing intent poured forth like tidal waves.

Meng Xiao staggered and lost his balance from the shock of the attack, and he was astonished by Luo Dajiang’s unexpectedly strong cultivation base that seemed to be stronger than his when he saw the silver wolf fall in danger. Having no time to balance himself, he threw out his silver hook at Luo Dajiang’s exposed back.

He had quickly concluded that the silver wolf had revealed its true-self because its attack hit the target. However, Luo Dajiang’s actual strength was beyond his expectations, so he was naturally much stronger than the silver wolf. If the saber struck it, the silver wolf would definitely die.

It turned out that Luo Dajiang’s actual goal was to get rid of the silver wolf first!

Now, although he had thrown out the silver hook and temporarily kept Luo Dajiang’s killing strike in check, it was only a temporary measure and could do nothing to the latter. He had to follow up to truly save the silver wolf from the critical situation.

Suddenly, Luo Dajiang laughed and said, “You’ve been tricked!”

At that moment, he turned around abd kicked one of his legs backward, accurately striking the silver wolf in the stomach. The wolf whined as its huge body was knocked up into the air while Luo Dajiang slightly turned his body to the side. The silver hook flew past him with a streak of red; although it had taken away a patch of his skin and flesh, it did not seriously injure him.

After kicking away the silver wolf, Luo Dajiang made a dash again. His whole body slammed into Meng Xiao like a whirlwind as the sharp edges of his saber flashed.

A look of helplessness suddenly appeared on Meng Xiao’s face, because at this moment, he had no other choice.

Just now as he went to the rescue, he naturally thought with his rich experience and knowledge that it might be Luo Dajiang’s deliberate act to lure him into the rescue. There was no reason for Luo Dajiang to get hurt in the first place; he had confirmed through their exchange that Luo Dajiang’s mystical Qi was, in fact, stronger than his.

It was absolutely impossible for an expert like this to let himself fall into an extremely passive and bad situation from the beginning. Since it was an unusual behavior, it could only be a trick!

And when fighting someone from the Beast Trainer Sect, the most correct method was to get rid of the mystical beast.

So, Luo Dajiang’s target was the silver wolf from the beginning!

Meng Xiao, who came to this conclusion, felt helpless.

If he did not rescue the silver wolf, it would definitely die; when it died, he, who was already weaker than Luo Dajiang, would certainly be defeated as well.

So, he could only choose to rescue the silver wolf with all his strength!

But, he did not expect that Luo Dajiang’s real purpose in pretending to kill the silver wolf was just to lure him over. Luo Dajiang’s target was not the silver wolf from the beginning, but him.
