Nie Yun now felt that Lu Beihuang was the comic relief sent by monkeys, specially assigned to deal with him.
Could he not have noticed a few breaths later? Would that have killed him?
If his heart had not been strong enough, he would probably have spat out a mouthful of blood.
This was too much... Wasn't he just stealing a Sword-Grinding Stone? How had it become so tortuous...
"Forget it..."
He shook his head helplessly.
After three consecutive failures, Nie Yun knew luck was truly not on his side today. The chances of stealing the Sword-Grinding Stone were slim, so he could only abandon the plan.
He had no choice but to give up. If this torment continued, he might fail to steal the Sword-Grinding Stone and instead be angered to death.
"Lu Xuan, I suppose your Sword-Grinding Stone was taken by these guys too. I tested them out—the one at the very edge among these seventeen War Dragon Beasts is the weakest. Let's join forces and kill it. I refuse to believe they won't return the Sword-Grinding Stones they stole..."
Seeing Lu Xuan join the battle, Lu Beihuang pointed at one of the War Dragon Beasts on the outermost edge.
"Alright..."
Lu Xuan nodded and charged toward that War Dragon Beast together with Lu Beihuang.
"This Lu Xuan... he really is cunning!"
Nie Yun shook his head at the sight.
By joining them now, Lu Xuan dispelled everyone's suspicions. Otherwise, if they learned his Sword-Grinding Stone had not been stolen, would they not immediately try to take it from him?
"Hmm? Right. Lu Beihuang and the others don't know that not only had these War Dragon Beasts failed to take Lu Xuan's Sword-Grinding Stone, but even theirs had fallen into Lu Xuan's hands..." Nie Yun's eyes lit up.
