Unreliable Teammates

Although the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline suppressed all Soul Beasts,

Nan Xuanyu was still very weak, and its suppressive effect was nowhere near that terrifying.

When Nan Xuanyu released his martial soul, Liu Feng and Qian Lei both felt an involuntary palpitation.

The two turned to look at him at the same time.

Their eyes were filled with shock.

This kid's aura was terrifying.

It was the first time they had experienced, at such close range, the aura Nan Xuanyu emitted after releasing his martial soul.

"Let's rush to one side first, so we don't get attacked from both front and back."

Liu Feng had more combat experience. After shouting, he charged in one direction.

A single ten-year Lava Dog was not strong, but there were simply too many of them.

A flash of white light surrounded Liu Feng, and he shot forward.

He was incredibly fast, appearing seven or eight meters away in an instant.

The White Dragon Spear in his hand thrust fiercely forward. With a puff, a Lava Dog that had just rushed at him was pierced and sent flying into the air.

Liu Feng followed the spear, actually pursuing the Lava Dog.

He swung the shaft downward and smashed it against the beast.

The Lava Dog was violently slammed to the ground.

Using the momentum, he continued charging ahead.

Qian Lei's Summoning Gate had finished forming by then.

Amid a "meow," a small white cat crawled out of the gate.

It was less than half a foot long.

The moment it poked its head out and saw the densely packed Lava Dogs,

it let out a strange shriek, turned around with a swoosh, and darted back into the Summoning Gate, disappearing without a trace.

The Summoning Gold Coin returned to his hand. An awkward expression appeared on Qian Lei's face as he could not help cursing,

"What the hell kind of luck is this?!"

Nan Xuanyu's expression darkened. These two idiots were beyond unreliable.

Liu Feng was careless and reckless once he got going.

Qian Lei was even worse. He had summoned a little cat that immediately ran away.

But by then, the densely packed Lava Dogs had already charged at them.

Nan Xuanyu did not have time to worry about anything else. He grabbed Qian Lei and rushed forward.

He waved his right hand, and Water Element immediately gathered around his body.

In an instant, it transformed into countless ice spikes that, under the control of his powerful Spiritual Power, stabbed in every direction.

At once, five or six charging Lava Dogs were struck and howled miserably.

"W-Wait!"

Qian Lei's face turned livid. Nan Xuanyu was simply too fast.

And he was so strong.

Qian Lei could not keep up with his pace and lost his footing. He was practically being dragged along by Nan Xuanyu.

"Ah? You..."

Only when Nan Xuanyu turned around did he realize that Qian Lei had been dragged along by him.

One of his shoes was missing.

Nan Xuanyu instinctively let go. Unable to steady himself, Qian Lei fell flat on his backside.

Qian Lei hurriedly scrambled up. Taking advantage of the few Lava Dogs being beaten back, he quickly found his missing shoe and put it on.

His face was filled with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Nan Xuanyu shook his head. This guy was even more unreliable.

At a critical moment, he had dropped the ball so badly that he had even run out of a shoe. There was no one else like him.

"Crouch down!"

After returning to Nan Xuanyu's side,

Nan Xuanyu shouted. Without time to think, Qian Lei quickly crouched.

The next instant, he felt something between his legs. Looking down, he could not help blurting out, "Holy crap!"

At some point, he had somehow ended up riding an ice dragon.

Guided by Nan Xuanyu, the ice dragon charged forward.

Meanwhile, Nan Xuanyu used the footwork Teacher Nana had taught him, moving at an astonishing speed.

With a sway of his body, taking one step east and one step west, he somehow slipped right out from the Lava Dogs' encirclement.

A layer of ice covered his body, protecting him within.

Even when he came into contact with the Lava Dogs, their scorching heat could not harm him.

On the other side, Liu Feng had already reached the wall.

However, his attack power was somewhat lacking.

Even the Lava Dog he had sent flying earlier had not suffered much damage.

At that moment, seven or eight Lava Dogs were relentlessly pursuing him.

If not for his speed, he would have been in a very sorry state by now.

But without a doubt, the three of them had reached a desperate situation.

The Lava Dogs charged toward Nan Xuanyu and Qian Lei again.

Nan Xuanyu's expression was grim. Qian Lei was practically dead weight now.

He had no idea how Qian Lei had passed the selection examination.

He had no choice but to rely on nimble footwork to dodge.

Both hands moved at once, constantly flinging out ice spikes.

Countless ice spikes shot in all directions.

Ice and fire countered each other. Naturally, the Lava Dogs hated this sort of freezing attack.

Quite a few Lava Dogs were killed immediately.

Even those that were not hit were slowed when the ice spikes collided with the heat and turned into icy mist.

That bought time for him and Qian Lei.

"Liu Feng, come over!"

Nan Xuanyu shouted as he covered Qian Lei and tried to move closer to Liu Feng.

Only by gathering together could the three of them reduce the pressure.

Qian Lei still needed some time to recover before he could summon again.

"How much longer do you need?"

Nan Xuanyu turned to ask Qian Lei while unleashing the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline once more.

More than a dozen Lava Dogs charging toward them were instantly pressed to the ground, trembling all over.

His first soul ring flashed as he unleashed the Ancestral Dragon Body and Ancestral Dragon Claw.

His strength, speed, defense, and everything else received a comprehensive boost.

He used his footwork again, both hands moving simultaneously as he charged at the Lava Dogs.

Under the suppression of the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, many Lava Dogs had their speed and strength greatly weakened.

Seizing the chance, Nan Xuanyu launched rapid attacks.

In an instant, he killed five or six Lava Dogs.

Using his footwork, he weaved through the Lava Dogs, light and agile.

Although Teacher Nana had not told him what kind of footwork it was, he had already guessed that it was the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

It was an incredibly wondrous footwork, similar to Lingbo Weibu.

Yet every step contained profound principles that were impossible to fathom.

It created countless afterimages and excelled at evasion.

It was the perfect match for hidden weapons.

He thought that if he could learn hidden weapon techniques in the future, the power of his ice spikes would definitely double.

He just did not know whether he would have the chance to learn them.

Qian Lei looked helpless.

"Another half minute.

Damn it, that little cat just wasted my Spiritual Power and Soul Power for nothing. Why is my luck so terrible?!"

Nan Xuanyu's mouth twitched. This guy's martial soul was truly too unreliable.

Although the consumption depended on the summoned target, and that little cat had not consumed much of his power,

it had still consumed some.

Most importantly, he could not decide what he summoned.

It was filled with uncertainty!

If he summoned another useless little cat, he would have to keep waiting for his power to recover.

"I'm coming!"

Liu Feng turned into a streak of white light and rushed rapidly toward Nan Xuanyu and Qian Lei.

He was incredibly fast.

"Stop."

But he was simply too reckless, charging forward without a care.

Even when he was right in front of them, he showed no intention of slowing down.

"I..."

Hearing Nan Xuanyu's shout, Liu Feng wanted to stop, but it was already impossible.

At the critical moment, Nan Xuanyu quickly used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, grabbed Qian Lei, and dodged to the side.

But Liu Feng was simply too fast.

The moment Nan Xuanyu grabbed Qian Lei, Liu Feng crashed into them with perfect accuracy.

Qian Lei was sent flying.

The two immediately became a tangled heap rolling across the ground.
