Because the reaction is somewhat slower than that of a normal cultivator at the peak of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!
So, when he heard Annie's words, the moment Dajun turned his head and saw Annie rushing over, it was already too late to dodge, and he hurriedly raised his palm to strike at Annie.
He had heard the conversation between Annie and Yichenzi just now and knew that although this white cat could talk, it was only at the mid-stage of the Transcendance Tribulation. He was two levels higher than her.
Thus, even though he was caught off guard by Annie's sudden attack, Dajun didn't take it to heart, thinking that a slap would surely knock the white cat Annie to the ground.
However, he underestimated Annie's speed and the claws that even gave Bai Xiaofan a headache.
Seeing Dajun's slap coming, Annie's body bent at a tricky angle, changing direction in mid-air, and then she clawed at the palm Dajun had swung out.
Splurt!
A deep, bone-exposing wound appeared on Dajun's wrist, and crimson blood dripped down unchecked.
"Ignorant human!"
Having succeeded in her strike, Annie mercilessly mocked Dajun, then immediately leaped onto Dajun's shoulder and lifted her small claw to grab at Dajun's neck.
Although Dajun's cultivation was strong, his body was not as resilient as Bai Xiaofan's. If Annie's claw struck his neck, even if he didn't die, he would surely be heavily injured.
In an instant, Dajun's heart turned cold.
He had just gained this incredibly powerful strength and hadn't had a chance to revel in it for long; he didn't want to die so easily!
"Get away from here!"
At that moment, a loud shout erupted, and immediately after, Dajun felt as though his body was hit by a cannonball, violently thrown backward.
Thud!
After crashing to the ground, Dajun hurriedly looked up and found that standing in the spot where he had just been was an old man in a gray robe, Yichenzi!
It turned out Yichenzi had acted decisively in that instant.
Though Dajun was saved by Yichenzi, he secretly resented the old man, thinking Yichenzi should have had the chance to save him when Annie first attacked, instead of waiting until he was about to die at the white cat's hands.
And why did he have to be saved in such a brutal manner?
If Yichenzi knew what Dajun was thinking, he'd probably slap him on the head and take his life!
"What are you standing there for? Get over there and help them capture these people quickly!"
Seeing Dajun still on the ground after falling, Yichenzi couldn't help but shout, then focused on dealing with Annie's lightning-fast attacks!
Even though he was much more powerful than Annie, he knew how sharp Annie's claws were, so he tried his best to avoid clashing with her directly!
After hearing Yichenzi's words, Dajun quickly got up and rushed toward Su Shiqi and the others.
He planned to capture Su Shiqi and the others first, and then use them to threaten Xiao Mei and the others into giving up their resistance!
He sensed that although the men in black he brought were generally stronger, they seemed to be at a disadvantage against Xiao Mei and Dantai Qing's group!
Seeing Dajun charging towards them, Su Shiqi didn't say much. Even though she knew her cultivation level couldn't even withstand a single round against him, she resolutely stepped forward, circulating the immortal essence within her and struck towards Dajun!
This was indeed the first time Su Shiqi had used the Immortal Technique since she started cultivating.
Bang!
A dull sound rang out.
Su Shiqi staggered back and was caught by Li Qian and Chen Xiner.
"Heh, how foolish of you to think you can stop me? Keep dreaming!"
Dajun defeated Su Shiqi with one move, and it seemed the humiliation he suffered from Annie had been somewhat alleviated. He sneered, stretching out his big hand to grab Su Shiqi.
"Scoundrel, you're not allowed to hurt anyone here!"
However, just as Dajun reached out to grab Su Shiqi, a clear voice rang out, startling Dajun, who quickly withdrew his hand and looked toward the voice.
It wasn't that he was making a fuss over nothing, but after being injured by Annie's claw earlier, he dared not be careless anymore.
Meanwhile, Dajun's heart cursed the situation, wondering what was happening.
Could it be that these women can't be captured?
Why does someone always suddenly appear to stop him just when he's about to succeed?
Under the gaze of Dajun and Su Shiqi, three people appeared in view.
In the blink of an eye, a girl in a pure white dress stood gracefully in front of Su Shiqi and He Miaor, glaring angrily at Dajun opposite them.
Along with the girl, there was also a woman dressed in green and a middle-aged man in black.
Seeing the sudden appearance of these three, Yichenzi, who was engaged in battle with Annie, frowned slightly. He could sense that the cultivation of these three individuals was at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
Especially the middle-aged man, whose cultivation wasn't much weaker compared to himself, and there was a ferocious, bloodthirsty aura about him.
"Sister Shiqi, don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you all!"
The girl in the white dress turned to Su Shiqi and others, her eyebrows arching like a crescent moon when she smiled.
However, looking at this girl who suddenly appeared, claiming to protect them, Su Shiqi and He Miaor exchanged puzzled glances, as they didn't recognize her.
Although this girl gave them a sense of familiarity, the girls were certain they had never met her before.
"Oh dear, I forgot you don't recognize my current appearance. No worries, once that smelly uncle returns, he'll recognize me!"
Seeing the confusion in Su Shiqi and others' eyes, the girl in white realized and waved her small hand nonchalantly, then turned to glare at Dajun.
"Who are you? Don't you know this is the home of my smelly uncle? Aren't you afraid he'll kill you all when he returns?"
Upon hearing the words of the girl in white, Su Shiqi and her companions seemed to have a guess, but that guess was quickly dismissed.
This was Bai Xiaofan's home, and he was the only male residing here.
The uncle mentioned by this girl was obviously Bai Xiaofan.
In their impression, the only person who used to call Bai Xiaofan uncle like that was Yao Keke.
But that was precisely why they didn't hesitate to dismiss this guess.
