Chapter 160: The Giant Cicada
Off in the distance, a small dot rapidly grew larger as it encroached on the area where Li Lang and his attacker were.
They both stared on, awaiting the new arrival for different reasons. For Li Lang, he hoped an expert had seen his signal fire and would rescue him. For the assailant, he was being cautious toward the new party, not wanting to give them any opening. Li Lang was nothing but an ant in his eyes, and he only bothered with him for fun. He didn’t mind handling him later.
The newcomer only took a few seconds before they reached them. It was so fast that Li Lang could only make it out to be a blur until it came to a full stop.
That’s…not a Skyrunner. Is that a tamed Qi beast?
Memories flooded his mind regarding the fateful day when the Abductress had attacked. The Clear Heart elder back then also had a tamed Qi beast as a means of travel, but until now, he had rarely seen others in possession of a tamed beast.
Qi beasts were wild animals that were naturally aggressive. Their body was also filled with valuable materials to be used in crafting, so it was understandable that they were normally killed.
Only very rarely did one find an infant Qi beast to tame. To find one capable of flight was even rarer and exponentially more valuable due to its usefulness as a mount.
And now, the new arrival to the scene was riding on one of these exceptional specimens. Li Lang didn’t need an expert to be here to tell him that the colossal cicada Qi beast was one of the rarest among rare mounts a cultivator could have.
What was even more surprising was the rider, who was now alternating between looking at Li Lang and his ambusher with a confused expression on his face.
“Li Lang? What’s going on here?”
Before the man could get an answer, his figure suddenly blurred as he locked swords with the only other Foundation Establishment cultivator at the scene.
The sound of their metal swords striking each other loudly resounded throughout the area as they exchanged blows after blows. The scene grew more chaotic with every second that passed.
