Zhongli Wuwang was utterly exasperated now.
He had always detested the task of finding one’s way, yet here he was, facing two consecutive trials that required determining direction and seeking paths, which made him extremely irritable.
"Damn it, wouldn’t it be better to just bring the supplies right to us and get on with it? Yet we have to scour this endless mountain forest and deal with so many bizarre monsters. It’s maddening!"
Zhongli Wuwang grumbled as he walked forward, with the soldiers following silently behind him.
But just then, Zhongli Wuwang suddenly felt a slight trip beneath his feet and saw a fragile string snap with a sound.
Not good! It’s a trap!
The thought flashed instantly through Zhongli Wuwang’s mind, and he spun around, trying to flee.
But it was already too late. At the moment the string broke, several complex talisman spells appeared on the trunks of nearby trees and spun wildly.
In an instant, an invisible mighty force descended upon Zhongli Wuwang’s shoulders, causing his attempt to escape to come to a halt.
At the same time, a sword light, as if a heavenly river pouring down, slashed towards Zhongli Wuwang’s head.
Zhongli Wuwang felt a piercing pain in his brow from the fierce Sword Intent, yet he showed no panic, instead coldly shouting.
"Substitute with a Decoy!"
Boom!
The sword light fell, but no head flew, not a drop of blood was spilt.
Because what remained there was merely a puppet shadow of Zhongli Wuwang, whereas the real Zhongli Wuwang had evaded elsewhere the moment he uttered those words.
Yet, just as his figure reappeared in the air for a split second, the sword light twisted swiftly and slashed towards Zhongli Wuwang once more.
"Damn it, this sword light can lock onto targets?" Zhongli Wuwang couldn’t help but retort as he repeatedly dodged, finally finding an opportunity to strike with his palm, shattering the sword light.
Only then did Zhongli Wuwang heave a sigh of relief.
"Damn, what fierce Sword Intent! If I hadn’t dodged quickly, I might have fallen for it."
Just as Zhongli Wuwang was secretly rejoicing, a voice with a hint of amusement suddenly sounded by his ear.
"Not bad strength!"
"Who?" Zhongli Wuwang exclaimed in surprise, looking up.
He saw Xue An standing calmly on a distant large tree, moonlight casting down from behind him, making him look like a divine being descended from the heavens, making it hard to gaze directly at him.
Zhongli Wuwang’s pupils shrank instantly to pinpoints, and he spoke in a deep voice, "Commander-in-Chief of the Yue Clan?"
Though unmasked, Zhongli Wuwang was familiar with Xue An’s aura.
Xue An responded indifferently, "That’s right, it’s me!"
Zhongli Wuwang exhaled slowly, "Was that trap your doing too?"
Xue An chuckled, "I initially wanted to kill you, but seeing that you have some talent, I changed my mind!"
With that, Xue An turned to leave.
Zhongli Wuwang felt quite displeased with Xue An’s words.
What do you mean you wanted to kill me but suddenly changed your mind?
As if you could kill me!
In terms of strength, you’re a whole level lower than me!
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but call out defiantly, "Hey, you..."
But before he could finish, Xue An suddenly turned around, lifting his gaze towards Zhongli Wuwang.
