Wuxin, who was standing in front of Hexi and Gu Liufeng, nodded with a serious expression, staring coldly at the man not far away with a pair of cold and bloodthirsty eyes.
He was a tall man dressed in a rough grey cloth and a black cloak. The hood of the cloak was turned up high, covering his face and revealing only a pair of hawk-like eyes in the darkness.
It seems that this should be the black protector that Murong Feng mentioned.
The cloaked man stood opposite He Xi and the others with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed and full of contempt. His eyes fell on Wu Xin and he laughed, "There's actually a Yuanying-stage expert. No wonder Murong Mansion failed... It's a pity that a dog that we have cultivated for more than ten years is wasted just like that."
"And you, what price are you going to pay for making me lose a dog that I was so good at holding?"
He Xi narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Compared to the dog that is easy to lead, I think you should be more distressed about losing the cold food flower, right?"
"You touched the Winter Food Flower?" The cloaked man's face suddenly changed when he heard this.
He scanned with his spiritual sense, and indeed found no trace of Hanshihua. His gaze towards Hexi was like a sharp sword, no longer as calm as before. "Where is Hanshihua?"
"Of course it's destroyed." He Xi sneered, "Are you going to keep this dark spiritual plant that harms the world to make a living? I'm so sorry, I'm not as heavy-handed and inhumane as you."
"You—are looking for death!" The cloaked man suddenly shouted loudly, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, rushing straight towards Hexi.
This attack was no longer as casual as the red cloth attack just now, but it brought with it the anger of wanting to tear Hexi into pieces.
Wuxin also turned into a ray of white light and soared into the sky, blocking the attack of the cloaked man.
A battle at the Nascent Soul stage level is totally beyond He Xi's ability to participate in now.
Even Gu Liufeng, who was at the peak of the Jindan stage, could only watch from the side.
Even though there is only one step between the Golden Elixir and the Nascent Soul, it is definitely a step between heaven and earth.
Once one enters the Nascent Soul stage, it represents the top strength of the warriors in Miluo Continent and is a true super master.
However, just because He Xi could not participate in the battle did not mean that she could not see the battle situation.
Although Wuxin's strength has been steadily improving during this period, this cloaked man has obviously been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage for many years and is far from being comparable to the current Wuxin.
He Xi frowned, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He took out a golden sword from the space and threw it to Wu Xin: "This is a replica of the Lukong Sword, suitable for all thunder and fire warriors!"
The long sword was thrown out, and a loud thunder sounded. Wuxin flipped in the air, held the long sword in his hand, and felt the surging spiritual power in his body. He immediately showed a look of surprise.
The Lukong Sword is a legendary divine weapon of the Miluo Continent, second only to the Fenglong Sword in rank.
The power that the imitation version of the Sky-Slaying Sword can exert is less than 20% or 30% of the real Sky-Slaying Sword, but compared to ordinary magic flying swords, its power is unimaginable.
Sure enough, after Wuxin grasped the Lukong Sword, his strength suddenly increased, and for a moment he was evenly matched with the cloaked man.
The cloaked man's face became extremely solemn. While talking to Wuxin, he shouted at Hexi, "Boy, who are you? The Sky-Slaying Sword has been lost for a long time, and even the replica has not been circulated in the world for a hundred years. How come you have it?" (To be continued)
