Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Hearing the words of the man in white, Zhang Qi nodded with an ugly expression. "Yes, Senior Brother."

Lin Kuang watched quietly. Although the man in white spoke like that, his gaze swept over Lin Kuang with clear disdain.

Lin Kuang didn’t care. Since the other party had no intention of making a move, Lin Kuang didn’t plan to do anything to them either.

With that thought, Lin Kuang closed his eyes to rest, saying nothing more, as if the four people before him were nothing but air.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Qi’s face grew even more unsightly. He really wanted to go up and teach Lin Kuang a lesson, but with Ling Xiu’er and the man in white stopping him, it wasn’t convenient for him to act.

"Brat, you actually dared offend us. Just wait till I get the chance and see how I clean you up!"

Zhang Qi glared at Lin Kuang, a flash of killing intent flickering through his eyes.

"Let’s go. We’ll keep searching. Around this time that Monster Beast should be coming out to forage."

At this moment, the man in white spoke, paying Lin Kuang no heed as he strode forward.

Zhang Qi, Ling Xiu’er, and the black-clothed man also said nothing more and turned to leave.

Feeling the four of them leave, Lin Kuang still didn’t pay it any mind. In the end, this was just a minor episode.

Cultivating quietly, Lin Kuang planned to leave once daybreak came. There was no need to stay here any longer.

Time flowed by slowly. Monster Beasts howled within the Demons Forest; one after another they began to forage at night, and this was also when the Demons Forest was at its most dangerous.

To the southwest of Lin Kuang, Ling Xiu’er and the other three were like soldiers facing a great enemy, their gazes cautiously fixed on the massive Monster Beast before them.

This Monster Beast was no smaller than the White Jade Demon Elephant. The thing was a full zhang in length and nearly two meters tall, its huge body frightfully imposing.

"A war mammoth. We finally found this guy.

Junior Brother, Junior Sister, be careful. This fellow’s strength is at the Peak of the Void Realm. Although we have numbers on our side, killing it will still be very difficult. We must be careful."

The man in white spoke a reminder, caution in his eyes.

Hearing this, Ling Xiu’er, Zhang Qi, and the black-clothed man all nodded gravely.

"Guan Tao, Zhang Qi, you two will be responsible for entangling this mammoth. Junior Sister Xiu’er and I will launch attacks on it."

At this time, the man in white spoke again.

Hearing this, Zhang Qi and the black-clothed man, Guan Tao, both nodded. They had discussed this plan on the way here.

"Alright, Senior Brother, Junior Sister, we’re going in."

Zhang Qi said.

In the next instant, he and Guan Tao charged straight up, attacking the war mammoth.

Seeing Zhang Qi and Guan Tao rush over, the massive mammoth also moved, its huge trunk whipping out fiercely, stirring up a gust of wind as it lashed toward Zhang Qi and Guan Tao.

Seeing this, Zhang Qi and Guan Tao’s figures burst back in retreat. The two were quite familiar with the war mammoth’s means of attack.

"Roar."

Seeing its trunk fail to whip Zhang Qi and Guan Tao, the massive war mammoth immediately charged, its four hooves pounding the ground so hard even the earth began to tremble.

The thing looked clumsy, but with its enormous body, although it seemed to move slowly, its actual speed was extremely fast.

In just a short time, the war mammoth caught up to Zhang Qi and Guan Tao.

Its huge tusks, more than a meter long, slammed toward the two of them. If they were hit, they would definitely be skewered through.

But at this moment, Zhang Qi and Guan Tao’s bodies leaped up in unison, once again avoiding the war mammoth’s attack.

The two of them were only responsible for tangling up the war mammoth; they didn’t need to attack. As long as they kept this thing tied down, that was enough.

Just then, the man in white and Ling Xiu’er exchanged a glance, and he spoke. "Xiu’er, let’s go!"

Hearing this, Ling Xiu’er nodded lightly. A slender Jade Hand raised, and a blue longsword appeared in her palm. Water ripples flowed along the blade, looking extremely beautiful.

At the same time, a fiery-red spear also appeared in the man in white’s hand, looking full of explosive power.

"Go!"

At this time, the man in white spoke once more, brandishing the fiery-red spear in his hand as he charged straight in.

Seeing this, Ling Xiu’er refused to fall behind, swinging the blue treasured sword in her hand as she slashed toward the war mammoth.

When the man in white thrust with his spear, a streak of fire flashed, blasting directly against the war mammoth’s body.

Right after that, the pale blue longsword in Ling Xiu’er’s hand arrived as well.

With her swings, pale blue water surged out from within the sword, transforming into a water-blue chain that coiled around the war mammoth, binding it up.

"Roar!"

The war mammoth roared in pain. That strike from the man in white had smashed into its body, which naturally enraged it greatly, especially as it felt intense agony.

At this moment, within the forest, Lin Kuang was concealed among the branches of a tree, his gaze watching the battlefield before him.

Lin Kuang had never seen how the Martial Artists of the Xuanwu Continent attacked. Now that he had a chance to watch, he naturally didn’t want to miss it.

When the spear in the man in white’s hand spewed fire, and blue water flowed from Ling Xiu’er’s sword, Lin Kuang was quite astonished.

These people seemed to have separated out the Elements contained within Profound Qi, turning them into single Elements.

Profound Qi contained far too many Elements—fire, water, wood, earth, metal, wind, thunder, and so on were all different Elements within Profound Qi.

Precisely because these Elements were mixed together that they formed Profound Qi.

You could say Profound Qi was all-embracing, yet also chaotic, since it contained far too many Elements.

But in the understanding of Martial Artists on the Xuanwu Continent, these chaotic Elements might look powerful, yet they were actually the weakest.

Because cultivating a single Element was already enough for one person. If you cultivated many kinds of Elements, that was simply seeking death, destined to accomplish nothing.

After all, the time it consumed was far, far too great, and in the end it was very likely that all your efforts would come to nothing.

Thus, the Martial Artists of the Xuanwu Continent all cultivate single Elements, while some heaven-defying geniuses cultivate two Elements—water and fire in harmony—causing their power to soar.

Of course, some people once attempted to cultivate the five basic Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wanting to bring these five Elements into a perfectly balanced state.

The idea was good, but not a single person succeeded.

So the Martial Artists of the Xuanwu Continent no longer try to cultivate many kinds of Elements, and instead only cultivate a single one.

Single-Element cultivation is not simple either. If you cultivate one Element to the extreme, it is also incomparably powerful.

"I really don’t know whether their way of cultivating is good or bad. Single-Element cultivation does indeed make for faster progress, and in the early stages it boosts Attack Power.

However, Profound Qi itself is all-encompassing—that is its most fundamental nature.

It can transform into any Element, yet they insist on stripping these Elements out. I really don’t know what to say about them."

Lin Kuang muttered inwardly.

Lin Kuang simply did not believe that the Martial Artists on the Xuanwu Continent were right in this. He felt it was utterly foolish!
