Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2121

Around a hundred meters away from the bonfire, Zhang Xuan stopped and hid behind the branches of a large tree.

Concealing his aura, he discreetly peeked ahead.

A bonfire was lit in front of a cavern, and a well-built young man was sitting on the spot. Above the bonfire, he was roasting a skinned Mongolian gazelle.

The Mongolian gazelle was roasted to a golden brown, and oil was sizzling out of it. Even from afar, Zhang Xuan could smell the aroma of the meat.

“Roasting meat in the middle of the night?”

Zhang Xuan frowned in bewilderment.

Back at the Grand Spirit Mountain, he had seen a Mongolian gazelle, and he had thought of catching one to improve his diet. However, while the Mongolian gazelle wasn’t too powerful, it was extremely fast, especially when it came to climbing. Even a monkey might not be able to match up to it.

With his current strength, it would be difficult for him to catch a Mongolian gazelle. Yet, this well-built young man had actually caught one and was roasting it in broad daylight, not fearing the high-tier God Phosphor Armored Beast at all. His strength was not to be underestimated!

Perplexed, Zhang Xuan decided not to approach the young man.

It didn’t take long for the Mongolian gazelle to be cooked. The young man tore off a piece of its thigh and began munching on it. At the same time, he picked up a gourd beside his feet and gulped down a mouthful of wine.

After gulping down seventeen mouthfuls, the gourd was finally emptied. He grabbed another gourd and continued drinking.

In less than fifteen minutes, he had already finished half a Mongolian gazelle and three gourds of wine.

At this point, the young man seemed to be a little tipsy. His head was nodding nonstop, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.

“Is it because he’s skilled or because he’s careless?” Zhang Xuan was a little speechless.

From the time he had spent on the Master Teacher Continent, he had learned that the night was extremely dangerous.

Many ferocious beasts would appear at this time of the night. Besides, the aroma of roasting meat in broad daylight was bound to attract a lot of trouble.

More importantly, the young man was drinking too. Wouldn’t he be in grave danger if he were to be ambushed?

Perplexed, Zhang Xuan decided not to approach the young man.

He had come here for the Phosphor Armored Beast, and the young man was clearly here for the same reason. There was a good chance that the young man was his competitor.

It would be best if the young man was drunk. This would save him a lot of trouble.

Huhu!

Snoring sounds.

After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, in less than an hour, this guy actually fell into a deep sleep, as if he had lost all consciousness.

“Let’s go around it first!”

Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan slipped down from the tree trunk, intending to sneak over.

According to the person in charge, the Phosphor Armored Beast should be in this canyon. As long as they continued onward, they would be able to find it.

Since the other party was asleep, he decided to head over first.

A moment later, when he was less than thirty meters away from the sleeping young man, his eyes suddenly widened in astonishment. His body flickered once more, and with a swift movement, he hid himself in the crown of a tree.

After hiding, he hurriedly looked to the side of the young man and saw two cold lights reflecting the moonlight in the bushes not far from him.

With a grim expression, Zhang Xuan activated his Eye of Insight.

In an instant, he saw his surroundings clearly.

Among the people in the bushes, there were actually two men in black hiding. The cold light just now was reflected from the long swords in their hands.

Just as Zhang Xuan was wondering when they came in, he saw two cold rays of light suddenly piercing through the air, heading straight for the young man lying on the ground.

There was no sound of wind, no movement. The sword light came from the left and right, suddenly attacking without any warning.

As if they had practiced this move countless times, their movements were swift and precise. If the young man was struck, he would surely be killed.

“This is bad …” Zhang Xuan’s face darkened.

Even though he did not want to be a busybody, he could not help but feel that it would be a pity if the other party were to be killed right before his eyes.

“Forget it, we are all here for the Phosphor Armored Beast. Even if they are our enemies, there’s no need for us to watch them get killed …”

These two men had been hiding in the bushes without making the slightest movement, and their sneak attack was so swift that it was almost as if they had practiced this countless times. Zhang Xuan immediately labeled them as bad people. In order to save the young man, he decided to go all out. “Be careful!”

As he said those words, he flicked his wrist, and a sword flew toward one of the ambushers.

Weng!

Harnessing all of his strength, the sword pierced through the air like a shooting star, creating a shrill buzz. It covered a distance of thirty meters in the blink of an eye, blocking the path of the ambushers.

“Who are you? How dare you ruin my plans?”

The ambushers harrumphed coldly as he raised his sword to face the sword.

Ding!

With a crisp ring, Zhang Xuan’s sword was deflected back. At this moment, he was already less than ten meters away from the ambushers, allowing him to get a good look at the other party’s appearance.

It was a middle-aged man in his forties. His cultivation had already reached high-tier God, and he was brimming with divine energy, ready to burst forth at any moment.

Instead of rushing forward, Zhang Xuan turned to look at the drunken ambushers. He saw that the latter had already woken up from his stupor after hearing Zhang Xuan’s shout, but instead of getting up, he reached out and grabbed the sword of the other ambusher.

No matter how the other party struggled, he was unable to break free.

“Are you intending to take advantage of my drunkenness to launch a sneak attack on me? Is that all you’ve got? “the burly ambusher sneered coldly as he abruptly bent his palm.

Kacha!

The sword in the ambusher’s hand was snapped in half.

Zhang Xuan’s eyebrows shot up in astonishment.

The sword in the other party’s hand was a middle-tier God artifact. Even if he were to exert his full strength, it would still be difficult for him to destroy it. It was already shocking that the other party was able to grab it with his bare hands, but to actually snap it in half …

The other party’s strength was truly frightening.

“Let’s go!”

With the other party’s sword snapped in half, the two ambushers knew that their sneak attack was nothing more than a joke, so they quickly turned around and fled.

The ambushers did not hesitate to launch a sneak attack, and the ambushers did not hesitate to flee either.

The black-robed man, whose sword had been broken, immediately let go of his grip on the broken sword. He turned around and dashed in the direction that Zhang Xuan had come from.

“Since you’re already here, why don’t you leave something behind for me?”

The young man sneered coldly as he abruptly stood up and bellowed, “Roar!”

A sound like a tiger’s roar suddenly exploded in the valley. It was as if a thunderclap had suddenly resounded through the mountain walls.

Pu! Pu!

The two ambushers immediately felt as if something had struck their backs, and blood spurted from their mouths. They had actually sustained severe injuries in an instant.

“Lion’s Roar?” Zhang Xuan was astonished.

Lion’s Roar was a battle technique that utilized sound waves to attack one’s soul. It was similar to his Eight Notes of Heavenly Dragons, but he had never seen anyone use it before. Who could have thought that not only would the young man know how to use it, he would even be so powerful?

“Let’s go!”

Severely injured, the two ambushers flicked their wrists, and a jade token appeared out of thin air. ‘Bo!’, the jade token suddenly exploded, sending a cloud of dust into the air.

By the time the dust settled, the two ambushers had already disappeared.

Ambush, retreat … Their movements were fluid and fluid, and it was clear that they had done this many times.

Hu!

After the two ambushers left, the muscular young man did not chase after them. Instead, he sat beside the bonfire and glanced at Zhang Xuan in bewilderment. “Why did you save me?”

“Save … You’re exaggerating. Given your strength, even without my reminder, those two ambushers would not have been able to harm you. Looks like I was just making an unnecessary move …” Zhang Xuan shook his head.

He thought that the ambushers would succeed in their ambush due to the intoxication of the young man, so he decided to save him. Who could have thought that not only was the other party powerful, there was a high chance that he was feigning sleep to bait the other party?

Since the other party had said that he would save him … that was far from it!

“I said that you would save me, so you saved me. Why are you spouting so much nonsense?” The young man frowned. He casually picked up a gourd beside him and tossed it over. “Can you drink?”

“Thank you!” Seeing how generous the young man was, Zhang Xuan uncorked the gourd and gulped down a mouthful of wine. With just a single sip, his eyes lit up in excitement. “Good wine!”

Even though he rarely drank, he was still able to discern the quality of wine.

The wine in the young man’s gourd was smooth, refreshing, and full of zesty. It was completely different from those sold outside.

Seeing that Zhang Xuan did not regard him as an outsider, the young man gulped down a mouthful of wine in satisfaction.

In such a place, there were quite a few people who would be wary of the other party, fearing that the wine might be poisoned. Yet, the fellow before him actually didn’t say anything at all and drank the wine right away. He didn’t claim credit for himself, and he didn’t exaggerate either.

“Mutton!” Tearing off the front leg of a Mongolian gazelle, the young man tossed it over.

Zhang Xuan was already feeling hungry, so he did not stand on ceremony and began munching on the mutton.

He had to admit that the taste of the divine beast was indeed not bad. He had thought that the mutton would be hard to chew, but it melted in his mouth as if a warm current was flowing through his body.

After gulping down a few mouthfuls of wine and a leg of mutton, Zhang Xuan felt much more comfortable. The fatigue he had been feeling all this while had finally dissipated. With a smile, he said, “Consider this as repayment for saving your life earlier. I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t be staying here any longer. Farewell!”

After saying those words, he began making his way into the valley.

Saving Zhang Xuan’s life was not that important to him. His top priority was to find the Phosphor Armored Beast and raise his cultivation.

The young man glanced at the direction Zhang Xuan was heading in and asked, “May I know why you are heading into the valley in the middle of the night?”

The valley was fraught with danger, so why would the other party travel at night?

“I have reached a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I am looking for a way to achieve a breakthrough,” Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.

“You are looking for a breakthrough?” The young man nodded.

Given that Zhang Xuan’s cultivation was only at low-tier God realm pinnacle, it was possible for him to achieve a breakthrough at any moment.

“I have been to this valley many times, so I’m quite familiar with its layout. May I know what you are looking for? If there’s anything I can help you with, I’m more than happy to oblige! ”

The young man said.

“It’s like this …” Zhang Xuan paused for a moment before revealing a smile. “Due to the unique nature of my cultivation technique, I’ll need to achieve a breakthrough in my physical body and soul cultivation in order to advance my cultivation. I have already found a way to achieve a breakthrough in my soul cultivation, but it won’t be that easy to achieve a breakthrough in my physical body. I heard that there’s a Phosphor Armored Beast in this valley, and its blood is extremely beneficial to tempering one’s physical body. That’s why I decided to take the risk and come here. ”

“Phosphor Armored Beast? You are looking for the blood of a Phosphor Armored Beast? ” The young man was stunned for a moment before a bizarre smile surfaced on his face. “Do you think that you can defeat a high-tier God pinnacle divine beast with your current strength?”

(I’ve been dealing with my father’s car accident for the past few days, but due to the lack of surveillance cameras at the location of the accident, it’s been rather troublesome. The other party isn’t willing to bear the responsibility. Over the past few days, Laoya has been looking for the traffic police. I’m sure everyone knows that this is a small place, so it’s unlikely that anything can be done. I’ll be back in a few days, and I’ll be back to full strength. My apologies. Don’t worry, I won’t mess up. I’ll follow the outline seriously.)
