A SHOCK!

BRACKET!

That slash hit the ground of Hua Zhantian's creation. The man managed to repel Xika's attack, but he still crashed a few meters before finally stopping.

Taps!

Xika arrived beside Wu Liao. He saw some of the girl's clothes had been torn to reveal some parts of her body. Wu Liao looked at him with tearful eyes, but those tears now contained joy and relief.

Pluck up!

Xika took out a robe and handed it to Wu Liao so that the girl could cover her body.

"Well, you got guts. Kneel down and kiss my feet, after that I'll consider forgiving you."

"Oh yeah? If I don't forgive you."

Srak!

Xika kicked the ground around her in order to interfere with Hua Zhantian's vision, but unfortunately she did not know that Hua Zhantian was a Land Cultivator. The ground that Xika had previously kicked off now stopped a few centi from Hua Zhantian's face.

Then the ground turned into giant thorns that were one meter in size before turning back towards Xika.

"Oh?"

Srats!

Xika slashed all those thorns without any difficulty was using her cards.

"It turns out you're a Soil Cultivator."

"Why? Afraid? It's too late to regret it now, boy!"

Hua Zhantian raised both of his hands and the ground rose trapping both of Xika's legs.

"Fearful? What's for?"

At the same time when Xika's feet were trapped in the ground, Xika also did the same to Hua Zhantian. The man widened his eyes surprised to see Xika can do the same.

"It turns out you're also a Land Cultivator. Good though. It'll be easier."

The ground rose from Xika's feet towards her body. The ground was hard and quite difficult to destroy. It seemed like Hua Zhantian had a strong relationship with the earth element.

"Earth cultivator? No, no. I'm not just a Soil Cultivator."

Finished speaking, the fire burned all the ground that covered Xika's legs until it was gone. Then Xika pointed her hand at Hua Zhantian and managed to blow the man away complete with her eyes still glaring in disbelief.

Unfortunately, Hua Zhantian was no ordinary disciple. He stopped throwing after his feet hit the ground. For a few seconds he stared at Xika sharply. Then the ground under Xika's feet exploded.

"Hup!"

Xika jumped on schedule just in time. While Wu Liao had already retreated a moment ago. He looked at Xika with a look of gratitude and admiration. But a moment later his gaze turned to worry.

Xika is great. He could not be considered a new student. Even some senior disciples were incomparable to him. But no matter how great Xika was, she could not fight Hua Zhantian, the disciple who had already ranked first of the Hundred Disciples Within the Strongest for so many years.

Hua Zhantian smiled scornfully seeing Xika dodge.

"Son, it looks like you have some abilities. Name yourself. I'll give you flowers at your grave later."

"Huh, I should have said that. Not many disciples could manipulate the ground until it successfully blew it up. I'll write your name on the ground with an explosion."

Under Hua Zhantian's arrogant and domineering gaze, Xika did not hesitate in the least. He had faced such a gaze for many years. Rather than being afraid, Xika gave a defiant smile.

"Xika! She's Hua Zhantian! You won't be able to beat him!"

Unfortunately, before Xika and Hua Zhantian could get acquainted, Wu Liao had already introduced the two first. And the two men both formed the face of 'Oh?' then it turns into 'Interesting.'

"So you're the famous Hua Zhantian. I've been looking for you everywhere."

"Heh. I've also heard your news spread here and there. I can't wait to confirm that."

Even though Xika was not afraid, but hearing Hua Zhantian's name made her even more vigilant. If Huo Bing was here with him, the bird would definitely say, 'Xika, be careful. The man was at the level of Forming Qi 9, and he was no ordinary man. I'm sure his Number One Disciple's title was not obtained for free.'

Srak!

This time it was Ha Zhantian who kicked the ground. It was just that the ground did not turn into a giant thorn but rather dust that exploded as it approached Xika.

Unfortunately, Xika only needed one flick from her card and all the dust-blown dust flew away and exploded in the air.

"Your weapon is quite unique. I'll take ya?"

Hua Zhantian was already behind Xika before he could turn his head. But Hua Zhantian's kick only hit the wind. Xika was no longer where she stood before.

Xika was flying over Hua Zhantian flapping his two wings. Below, Wu Liao looked at Xika with a note of admiration as well as amazement. And the girl thought of a word in her head, 'Handsome......'

"Your head is quite unique. I'll take ya?"

WHUSHES!

Hundreds of feathers escaped from its wings and flew towards Hua Zhantian like sharp blades.

"Huh. Small tricks. You think because I'm a Land Cultivator so I can't attack you who can fly like that?"

The ground under Hua Zhantian's feet began to move. A protective layer from the ground rose up and protected Hua Zhantian from Xika's feather attack. Then that protective layer fused with the ground below and formed a dragon with a length of ten meters and a width of three meters.

Hua Zhantian stood on top of the land dragon and looked at Xika in parallel. Xika also looked at Hua Zhantian. His eyes looked as if he was studying the man.

"Xika! You can't beat him! You have to go!"

"Oh? I almost forgot about it. You want to fly with me too, dear?" hua Zhantian said with a bastard expression on her face.

Wu Liao gasped.

And the dragon that Hua Zhantian was riding on immediately swooped right towards Wu Liao. The girl tried to run. The water element was seen floating around him, but it didn't manage to do anything to the dragon. It seemed like Wu Liao had indeed never fought before. Even learning to use its elements to maintain a compound never.

"Cap-Sah Technique, Second Way: Double!"

SLASHY!

SLASHY!

Two consecutive slashes managed to cut off Hua Zhantian's dragon. The man leaped swiftly as the dragon head he was riding on fell down and returned to ordinary ground. The scattered soil managed to spread dust everywhere to disturb the view.

Xika bent her wings dived down trying to find Wu Liao before Hua Zhantian. Unfortunately, the man was more experienced with the land than Xika. The dust that was a hindrance to Xika actually helped Hua Zhantian in finding Wu Liao.

"Ck. It's too hard to find in the dust like this." Xika controlled the wind around her to blow away the dust. His eyes were no longer blocked by dust. But unfortunately, he was late.

When she looked down, Xika found Wu Liao's body was already wrapped in the ground completely except for her head.

"Hahahahaha. But because of that your focus is split. You won't be able to win against me!"

Hua Zhantian appeared behind him, this time by climbing a bird from the ground. It was much smaller in size than the dragon before, but it looked faster.

The bird shot out a few balls of ground that Xika guessed would explode in a moment. He flew away avoiding the balls.

But the ones the balls were after were not Xika but Wu Liao.

A BLAR!

One ball exploded not far from the girl and managed to throw her several meters away.

"Damn it!"

Three more balls pointed at Wu Liao. Xika flapped her wings as fast as she could. Time is not enough to fly the ball.

The set!

Xika twisted her body until her back became a shield that protected Wu Liao from the balls.

"Ukh....."

The test!

Blood dripped from the corner of Xika's mouth. Most of the explosions were held by its wings. But he still received his shock wave. His wings are now feeling numb. He hoped his wings would not be hurt too badly.

Hua Zhantian smiled at Xika's condition as she tried to protect Wu Liao. But he's not satisfied. He ordered his ground bird to fire a few more balls.

Xika stared intently at the incoming balls. It's hard to concentrate when your head feels spinning and every object you observe increases to three, but he has to hold those balls.

A BLAR!

A BLAR!

A BLAR!

A few meters away from Xika, the spheres exploded by themselves before Hua Zhantian ordered. The man furrowed his brows in surprise.

"God." Xika gave a satisfied smile. "You want me to focus? Look at this."

This time Xika looked at Hua Zhantian. His gaze did not shift a bit from the man. Unfortunately nothing happened.

Hua Zhantian gave a sneering smile. This is what Xika calls focus? He laughed when his stomach was stirred. Blood was rising from his throat. Quickly he held the blood and returned it to its flow.

When she looked back at Xika, Hua Zhantian found that the man was smiling in satisfaction full of ridicule. And suddenly his blurry vision was hindered by something wet.......blood? But how can it be?

Haven't had a chance to find the answer yet, Hua Zhantian's nose was also bleeding. Still not enough, his ears rang for a while before releasing a red liquid mixed with yellow.

"You! What are you doing........" Hua Zhantian looked at Xika in horror. But by the time he turned his head, Xika had already disappeared. And Wu Liao too. He should have been able to trace their whereabouts from the stepped ground, but his current condition made it difficult for him to concentrate. Even standing up was difficult for him.

-----------------------------

Xika was holding Wu Liao romantically like holding a sack of rice. He jumped from one tree branch to another. Hua Zhantian should not be able to trace their whereabouts because Xika had already made some of the 'water' that was on her body come out and caused her blood flow to be chaotic.

But just in case, Xika tried to avoid the ground. Pretty hard actually. Thanks to his gaze that saw everything become three, he nearly fell down several times while setting foot on the wrong branch. But at least the wind was still cooperating with him to not let him fall.

Finally Xika stopped after arriving at a slightly wide branch. He looked back to be careful. It seemed that Hua Zhantian would not appear in the near future.

He took down the rice sack of Wu Liao from his shoulder.

"Stupid! Why didn't you run away before? Why watch me fight? Think of yourself as someone else!"

"Hiks.........YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

And Wu Liao was crying while hugging Xika tightly, making her shoulder a snot washcloth. The girl tried to say something, but Xika did not understand her words as it mixed with her cries.

"Huaaaaaa....wawu...hiks.....wiwak wau......Huuuu.........."

The girl's embrace grew tighter. He buried his face into Xika's chest and made it a new snot washcloth.

Xika looked at the girl with a complicated look. Then he saw Wu Liao's shoulders trembling violently. That girl must have been having a hard time as well.

Awkwardly, Xika raised her hand and gently rubbed Wu Liao's head and shoulders. Slowly, the girl's cries began to subside, but she still did not let go of Xika.

Without the two of them noticing, a pair of expressionless eyes was observing the two.
