"This kid!"

Xige Yun whispered grudgingly.

Yet his shock was not over. With a low shout from Su Chen, the vortex instantly changed its rotation direction from clockwise to counterclockwise!

Naturally, the longsword also performed an extremely powerful counterclockwise vortex, and the Water Dragon Pearl, which had been absorbed, terrifyingly reflected back towards the horrified Fog Spirit!

It let out a wail as the Water Dragon Pearl struck its jaw fiercely, causing it to tumble and fall from the air, its mouth quickly filling with blood.

Siger Meiruo breathed a long sigh, glancing at Su Chen with a look of feigned anger. Just now, she had truly been scared into a cold sweat.

But just as Su Chen also let out a sigh of relief, a mutation occurred once more!

"The Fog Spirit isn't dead yet!"

Xige Zhuxue exclaimed in shock!

Their expressions changed dramatically, and they immediately stood united, their gazes vigilant as they watched the incapacitated but still breathing Fog Spirit on the ground.

The Fog Spirit looked pained, its whole body trembling. Yet the blood that was flowing out was gradually stopping under a covering of wispy white gas. As the gas increased, its expression grew even more pained, turning into one of utter grotesqueness! Finally, after the white gas completely dissipated, it stood up again, and this time, its hair was even more purely white and flawless!

Seeing the icy and cruel look in the Fog Spirit's eyes, everyone shuddered inwardly. They hadn't expected this third-level Spirit Beast to be so difficult to deal with.

"This is its recovery skill, but it also consumes a lot of Chi. It looks like it's planning to fight us to the death. Everyone be extremely careful; a third-level Spirit Beast going all out is enough to severely injure any two of us!"

Siger Meiruo said with a grave expression.

"Roar~!"

The Fog Spirit let out an angry roar, immediately charging up a potent Water Dragon Pearl in its mouth. As its jaw suddenly lifted, the Water Dragon Pearl shot like lightning towards Siger Meiruo! Then it leaped up, its powerful hind legs kicking in midair, launching it another half meter forward. Without hesitation, Siger Meiruo twisted her body to evade and flipped her palm, revealing a green short sword. She sprang like the wind at the Fog Spirit attacking Su Chen.

Su Chen's eyes narrowed, and he gripped his sword with both hands. As the Fog Spirit came perilously close, he suddenly delivered a fierce diagonal slash!

However many sword techniques, when faced with a ferocious Spirit Beast, they're just ornamental. At the pinnacle, only speed and power are the elements that decide everything!

The blood-red sword sent forth a striking arc, slashing across the Fog Spirit's long torso. With a slash, scalding red blood spurted from the Fog Spirit!

But it didn't give up!

Enduring intense pain, it suddenly lunged with its sharp fangs towards Su Chen's unguarded neck!

Su Chen's longsword was too slow to retract, and just as the fangs were about to pierce his neck, a trace of fear finally appeared in his eyes. But just when he thought he was about to be bitten to death, a heavy punch struck the Fog Spirit's brain with a dull thud!

"Vajra Fist!"

Su Chen abruptly turned his head to see Xige Yun, his face icy, standing with his right fist, covered in a thick layer of golden energy waves, having struck the Fog Spirit. He shouted angrily again, golden light suddenly flaring on his right fist, and before the Fog Spirit could even let out a scream, it was blasted several meters away by the shockwave!

But it wasn't over yet!

At some point, Xige Mu appeared behind the Fog Spirit, a trace of cruelty flashing in his eyes. His raised right arm suddenly turned into a small-arc spinning golden drill!

"Dulong Drill!"

His right arm rotated at high speed, piercing into the bloodied head of the Fog Spirit with a muffled thud, and the Fog Spirit's head exploded, burning brain matter mixed with fresh blood, splattering everywhere!

It struggled desperately on the ground a few more times before finally coming to an unwilling rest. However, its vicious eyes remained glaring at Xige Mu, dying with unresolved hatred.

"Hmph, a third-level Spirit Beast, it's nothing much after all."

He crouched down, skillfully slicing open the Fog Spirit's belly with a blade, retrieving a white orb from the blood-soaked intestines.

"What is that?"

Su Chen asked curiously.

"It's a Spirit Pearl, the source of a Spirit Beast's skills. Normal spiritual artifacts often need to embed attribute Spirit Pearls to amplify their power."

Siger Meiruo gave Su Chen an odd look.

Su Chen was secretly taken aback. So the Spirit Beasts actually possessed such treasures. It seemed he really was quite ignorant.

Xige Mu, pleased, held the Fog Spirit's Spirit Pearl and walked toward Su Chen and the others, muttering under his breath, "Hmph, looks like I'm going to make a nice little gain this time."

"I say, Mu, you don't really need this small amount of money, do you? Give it to someone who needs it more, as long as we know it was you who killed the Fog Spirit~" Xige Yun snickered, looking at Su Chen with such disdain.

Just as Xige Mu was about to say something, Siger Meiruo interrupted, "Alright, since the Fog Spirit is dead, we should leave here quickly to avoid any other trouble appearing."

"But Sister Meiruo, it seems trouble has already arrived?"

Xige Zhuxue twirled a lock of her hair, chuckling softly. As they followed her gaze, the other four suddenly realized that under a large tree by the side of the road, five strangers with somber auras had slowly emerged...

Five people, and they were all men?

Moreover, Su Chen noticed at once that their eyes were filled with greed as they looked at Siger Meiruo and Xige Zhuxue.

"Who are you?"

Siger Meiruo also noticed the strange glint in their eyes and asked sternly.

The leading young man, who had a small moustache, slightly dark skin, and hard facial features, but whose eyes were bright and piercing, looked steadily at Siger Meiruo, seemingly calculating something.
