Chapter 265: Intense Battle With the Cannibals

The so-called brutal energy was a negative energy innately formed within the cannibals . The moment someone was invaded by this energy, they would start feeling negative emotions, lose their mind, and eventually die through bodily implosion after fully exhausting their own energy . Xiang Shaoyun was aware of all that and had no intention of letting the brutal energy mess with his mind . Thus, he quickly stepped to the side and jabbed forth with his finger .

Star Destroying Finger!

Bang!

A bloody hole opened up on the cannibal's body, causing the cannibal to howl madly in pain . The howls alarmed the other cannibals not far away .

"Roar! Roar!"

Numerous roars rang out as the cannibals all rushed toward Xiang Shaoyun . He no longer dared to hold back and quickly approached the injured cannibal before punching the cannibal's heart . The fist penetrated its energy barrier and went through its heart .

Xiang Shaoyun then pulled his hand back out, but when he did so, he felt an intense recoil from the cannibal's flesh .

What a terrifying defense and flesh . Good thing this cannibal isn't too strong . Otherwise, just this backlash would cause me some trouble . I have to start being careful, thought Xiang Shaoyun .

He then looked at the other cannibals that were approaching him . When he saw the ferocious look in their eyes, his battle intent surged .

"Fine, I will treat this as a training ground . All of you are my training partners!" said Xiang Shaoyun as he strode forth with a purple and gold aura around him . His presence of dragon and tiger also spread out .

The first cannibal to arrive swung its bone club at Xiang Shaoyun . The club was surrounded by a heavy brown energy, making it obvious it was no weak attack . Instead of drawing his own weapon, Xiang Shaoyun slanted his body to the side and sent a purple lightning fist at his opponent's belly .

Bang!

The tyrannical punch sent the cannibal flying and crashing into a few other cannibals, knocking them all down through the impact . Like a ferocious wolf, Xiang Shaoyun charged into the midst of the cannibals and sent lightning punches everywhere, creating numerous destructive explosions in the area .

Rumble! Rumble!

The cannibals were completely helpless against Xiang Shaoyun . They were only some lackeys in charge of guarding the mountain, and the strongest of them were merely at the fourth stage of the Transformation Realm . Although they had great defenses, they stood no chance before Xiang Shaoyun's berserk attacks .  

Soon, all the cannibals were defeated . At this time, five powerful cannibals appeared . They were much sturdier than the other cannibals, and they had an extremely overbearing brutal energy around them that seemed capable of rejecting the air itself .

In the cannibal language, the leading cannibal said, "This human is very strong . Xiong Lu, go eat him!"

"Yes, boss . I will eat this kid alive," answered Xiong Lu before he charged Xiang Shaoyun .

The cannibal called Xiong Lu was an eighth-stage Transformation Realm cannibal . He had the same cultivation level as Xiang Shaoyun, but since cannibals were generally stronger than humans of the same cultivation level, this Xiong Lu showed no fear toward Xiang Shaoyun .

But of course, cannibals never feared death anyway . Looking at Xiong Lu charging at him, Xiang Shaoyun could see that with each step the cannibal took, a deep footprint was etched on the ground . From this, it could be seen how powerful this cannibal was .

Before Xiong Lu even neared, he swung his bone club at Xiang Shaoyun's head . There was a layer of brutal energy surrounding the club, enhancing the attack to make it comparable in power to the attack of a ninth-stage Transformation Realm cultivator .

That was why the cannibals were so powerful, and those incapable of resisting their attacks would die . Faced with this attack, Xiang Shaoyun still did not use his weapon . He used his exquisite footwork and avoided the attack before stepping forward and sending a flaming claw at the cannibal .

Clank!

The claw struck the cannibal's energy barrier, creating some sparks as a crisp grinding sound rang out . A small crack was left on the energy barrier, but the attack failed to deal any significant damage to the cannibal .

What a terrifying defense, Xiang Shaoyun cried out inwardly .

His claw attack could kill even ninth-stage Transformation Realm cultivators, yet this cannibal was able to shake it off that easily . It was truly quite shocking . During the short instant Xiang Shaoyun was blanking out, Xiong Lu roared and swept his bone club at Xiang Shaoyun again .

Xiang Shaoyun quickly reacted and bent down before sweeping his leg at Xiong Lu . Although Xiong Lu had great physical strength, his agility was obviously somewhat lacking in comparison . He wasn't able to react in time and started falling to the ground from the sweep to his legs .

While he was dropping to the ground, Xiang Shaoyun jabbed at him with a finger laced with Yun Flame's power . It instantly tore through Xiong Lu's defense and entered his body .

"AHHHH!"

The burning attack caused Xiong Lu to wail in pain . Xiang Shaoyun did not let that opening go as he followed up by repeatedly stomping Xiong Lu's body . Xiong Lu was completely helpless against the flame attack, and combined with Xiang Shaoyun's repeated stomps, it was highly unlikely he would survive .

"Bastard! Everyone, go together and tear him apart!" howled the leader of the cannibals .

The leader's name was Xiong Huo, and he was the strongest of the cannibals present . He was at the peak ninth-stage Transformation Realm and was in charge of keeping watch here . Thus, he would not allow any mishaps to happen on his watch . As for why Xiong Huo wasn't attacking, it wasn't because he was being careless . It was simply because he was unwilling to lower himself to deal with a lowly human .

Three cannibals that were no weaker than seventh-stage Transformation Realm attacked Xiang Shaoyun together . Although they were rather simple-minded, that did not mean they were unaware of how strong Xiang Shaoyun was . Thus, they did not recklessly approach him, and they instead attacked at range .

Three clumps of brutal energy were blasted toward Xiang Shaoyun . Even before the clumps of brutal energy arrived, they were already giving off an extreme sense of discomfort, causing one to start feeling jittery . Perhaps it was because Xiang Shaoyun had inhaled the air polluted with brutal energy, or perhaps it was a different reason, but his mood started turning sour .

"Die!" Xiang Shaoyun finally drew his Purple Lightning Saber and started slashing around madly .

The two different energies met and exploded . The shockwave expanded outward, turning all the stones in the area into powder . Wielding his saber, Xiang Shaoyun charged at the cannibals, slashing left and right repeatedly, clashing with their clubs .

With Xiang Shaoyun fully unleashing his combat prowess and with the Purple Lightning Saber being a king-grade weapon, the bone clubs were instantly sliced apart . The saber proceeded to slice the bodies of the three cannibals, causing their blood to spray everywhere .

But amid the rain of blood, a brutal aura filled the air, causing Xiang Shaoyun's eyes to turn bloodshot . It was at this moment that Xiong Huo appeared noiselessly behind him before swinging the bone club down at him .
