hief, he just laid out his son"What are you doing" Huang Haitao glared at Xia Tian. "Who are you to dare commit a violent act inside a police station""Chief, this person is called Xia Tian and he's a...Chapter 1378: Ambushed in the Dense Forest

Aside from fighting with his wife, Xia Tian generally preferred quick and decisive fights no matter who he was facing. With his formidable strength, he usually managed to achieve this. If it were before, a simple palm strike would have been enough to kill that black bear without needing any weapons; in fact, he could even paralyze the bear by giving it an injection with a silver needle. However, the problem now was that he didn’t have a silver needle and his strength wasn't as great as before. Even with the makeshift weapon of a wooden stick, he couldn't easily dispose of the black bear.無奈之下，他隻能用自己不喜歡的方式——持久戰。

Without silver needles or medical skills, Xia Tian still had Phantom Step and martial arts techniques. So killing this black bear wasn’t much of an issue, but it would consume a significant amount of his energy, which made him feel frustrated.

Although it was called wearing down the black bear, in reality, he only took less than three minutes to kill it. Compared to before when he could dispatch the bear in just seconds, this speed indeed felt very slow.

The sight of the bloodied bear lying on the ground left the Lost Five Group members staring in disbelief, especially Xiao Jun and Huang Zifeng, who were now feeling a bit terrified, grateful for their luck. If it weren't for it, they might have ended up like this bear.

"We can eat roasted bear paws tonight." Xia Tian mumbled to himself, then glanced at the five of them, "Hey, does anyone have a knife"

“I brought a Swiss Army Knife.” Zhang Shuo finally reacted and quickly pulled out a Swiss Army Knife, handing it over to Xia Tian.

"Hmm, this is good." Xia Tian accepted the Swiss Army Knife and proceeded to cut off all four bear paws. Just as he was about to say something else, an ominous feeling suddenly arose, causing him to immediately activate Phantom Step and dodge aside.

Zoop!

An arrow was shot almost simultaneously onto the tree where Summer had just been, and at almost the same moment, another arrow whizzed towards Summer.

Summer leaned back, allowing the arrow to narrowly miss him. However, two more arrows came flying in from above and below.

Swoosh!

Summer threw out his Swiss Army knife, but this time he did not dodge; instead, both hands reached out for the incoming arrows.

"Ouch!" A cry of pain echoed through the forest. Clearly, Summer's Swiss Army knife had hit its mark. At that same moment, Summer managed to grab hold of the two arrows, though their immense momentum caused him to take a few involuntary steps back. This showed just how little his strength had improved compared to an ordinary person.

Boom! A gunshot suddenly rang out. Summer could see a bullet hurtling towards him at high speed.

The timing of this shot was impeccable; it came before Summer could fully regain his balance. Due to insufficient skill and lingering injuries, Summer's movements weren't as nimble as they used to be. In the moment, he had no choice but to fall onto the ground.

As he fell, the two arrows in his hands shot out.

"Ouch!" Another cry echoed through the forest as someone else was hit by Summer's arrows and fell to the ground.

Lying on the ground, Summer somersaulted once before springing back up. He looked towards a spot some distance away: "Hey, you idiot! Come out here!"

The lost group of five was currently hiding behind a large tree, completely frightened.

The changes happened too quickly for them to even think about what had just occurred; they only reacted instinctively by hiding. It wasn't until now that they realized the man whom they had initially dismissed as a savage might be far more dangerous than any actual wild beast.

The sound of gunfire and screams filled their hearts with fear, making them feel death was closer to them than ever before.

"Not surprised. Legend says Dark Emperor Xia Tian can still easily kill two of my comrades even when almost completely powerless," a hoarse voice suddenly sounded out. A short and thin man then emerged from behind a tree, holding an arrow which was one of the two arrows that Xia Tian had just thrown. Clearly, while one enemy had been eliminated by those arrows, this stronger adversary managed to catch the other arrow with his hand.

"Who are you" Xia Tian stared at the short and thin man. "Who sent you The CIA or some idiot from that assassin league like Miles"

"Xia Tian, there are countless people in this world who want you dead—perhaps a thousand less than ten thousand. You needn't bother about who I am working for; just know this: starting tomorrow, I will be the undisputed number one killer of the world!" The short and thin man spoke with his voice still hoarse, making it chillingly eerie in the increasingly dark forest. His tone made even the lost group feel their legs were turning weak.

"Oh, every single person who wants me dead ends up dying," Xia Tian said lazily. "I'm just curious how a moron like you managed to find me."

The short and thin man's tone carried an air of smugness: "Thanks to your fair-weather friends. They sent too many people after you, making quite a commotion with their efforts. The more there are involved in searching for someone, the harder it is to keep things hidden, especially when so many want you dead. Before they could find you, I did."

"Oh, that's how it was. Then go ahead and die," Xia Tian said lazily.

Whish!

A sword light momentarily illuminated the dark forest, splitting the short and stout man in half.

"Ah!" Tang Yan couldn't help but scream out loud. This scene was simply too terrifying for her!

"Young Master!" A particularly beautiful Taoist nun suddenly descended from the sky to appear beside Xia Tian. Her unusually pleasant, loli-like voice carried obvious concern, "Are you alright"

"Frost, just seeing you makes me feel better." Xia Tian revealed a rather brilliant smile upon seeing this stunning maidservant, feeling quite pleased that he could finally leave this place.

"Young Master, your cultivation..." Gu Hanchuang quickly noticed something amiss about Xia Tian.

"I was drained by a demoness, but it's alright, I'll recover." Xia Tian didn't really mind the situation too much. "Frost, do you know how to get out Take me out quickly."

"Yes, Young Master." Gu Hanchuang said nothing more as she embraced Xia Tian with one arm and then flew into the air, rapidly flying away.

"R-Really can fly..." Tang Yang stared in disbelief at this scene. Then he suddenly recalled something and shouted loudly, "Hey, what about us"

Unfortunately, her shouting had no effect whatsoever as Xia Tian and Gu Hanchuang were already far away.

"Are we dreaming" After a long while, Mao Xiaohui timidly said.

"That dead person is still over there. How could this be a dream" Tang Yan recovered quickly; despite her small heart, she seemed quite brave inside. Those three men were still pale and speechless, but she had already dared to look directly at the dead body not far away.

But upon seeing the corpse cut in half, she suddenly felt sick and bent over to vomit violently. After vomiting, she raised her head: "I, I finally remember who he is. He’s that Summer who was involved in a scandal with Zhao Yujie. A while ago, he even beat up a Hong Kong celebrity at Shu Capital Square. I mean, how could I not find him familiar!"

"Ah, it's him" Mao Xiaohui also exclaimed in surprise.

"Damn, it really is him! I remember now too!" Huang Zifeng suddenly shouted.

"Forget who he is. Let’s think about what to do next," Zhang Shuo said weakly.

"Will that Summer send someone to rescue us" Tang Yan asked uncertainly.

"Hard to say. I think we should first find something to eat," Mao Xiaohui suggested.

"Damn, he took all four bear paws!" Xiao Jun suddenly cursed angrily.

An hour later.

In Shudu City, Huadu Hotel.

In the presidential suite bedroom, Xia Tian, dressed in a bathrobe, leaned against the headboard with a somewhat somber expression.

Happily enough to have escaped from that place akin to a primeval forest, when he contacted Mu Hanqiao and Xiao Qiao afterwards, he found out something: the Fairy Sister had left the mountain.

This was news Xia Tian least wanted to hear. He didn’t want the Fairy Sister to know someone from the Illusory Immortal Gate had come down already; but Xiao Qiao told him that the Fairy Sister had contacted Ye Yumei and knew something about the Illusory Immortal Gate, which meant things were completely out of his control now.

Up until now, he’d encountered four disciples of the Illusory Immortal Gate. Two of them were already dead at his hands, while the other two were currently people he couldn’t defeat. In fact, as to these two, even Fairy Sister was not their match temporarily. There were also eight more disciples of the Illusory Immortal Gate; Xia Tian estimated that among those eight, there would be at least a couple who had cultivation levels on par with Han Mingfei and Ji Qingying’s. This meant that if they actually met up with Fairy Sister, things could get very troublesome indeed.

"No way, I need to make the Fairy Sister go back to Green Peak Mountain; she’ll be safer there." Xia Tian muttered to himself when he suddenly felt something and was about to get off the bed. Three people abruptly appeared in his room—three extraordinarily beautiful women. One of them was a stunning fairy maiden dressed in white robes, precisely the Fairy Sister that Xia Tian had been thinking about just now: Yue Qingya.

Upon seeing Xia Tian, Yue Qingya’s face revealed a rather gentle expression. She gently sat by his bedside and held his wrist. After several seconds, she let out a light sigh: "Little pervert, you bullied someone else’s girl and got yourself into this state"
