Harness Cultivator

Chang Xiu exuded a powerful aura as she slashed her jade sword down the scale of the magical beast.

Alas, her strength wasn't enough to slice through it. In fact, her action had simply provoked the magical beast further.

They were in a one-on-one fight yet some strangers decided to intervene and attacked him instead.

"GROWL!"

With a loud growl, the magical beast stomped the ground heavily, causing a large crater to appear beneath him.

Afterward, the magical beast uses its spiky tail to fling toward Chang Xiu.

Chang Xiu squinted her eyes as she saw the tail approaching her rapidly.

Without hesitation, she raised her jade sword up in hopes of blocking the strike.

BAM!

The tail of the magical beast collided with her jade sword, knocking her backward.

Chang Xiu crashed onto the group upon the impact as she had underestimated the strength of the magical beast.

"Senior Apprentice-Sister Chang Xiu!"

The other male yelled out in shock as they quickly dashed forward to help her out.

"Don't worry about me, the magical beasts are teaming up," Chang Xiu quickly stood back up as she warned his fellow disciples.

"Hmph, how dare you hurt our Senior Apprentice-Sister!" One of the males shouted in anger as he propelled himself up to the sky.

With a blinking light, the male shouted, "Take this, Two Wind Sweep!"

Two large arcs then occurred as it slashed toward the magical beast.

Alas, the attack barely dealt any damage to the magical beast as it simply enraged it even more.

"Not good…"

Unable to regain his foothold, the magical beast was able to slam him down easily on the ground, trampling his ribcage in the process.

The male groaned in pain as he coughed up a mouthful of blood. 

The situation turned grim for them as they were surrounded by the two magical beasts.

Chang Xiu held a dreadful aura as she made sure to order her fellow disciples to not act rashly.

"Stick together, and make sure to help each other out if we want to survive this," Chang Xiu warned.

While Chang Xiu was facing two deadly enemies, Lee Tao held a calm expression as he remained on top of the tree branch, eating some peanuts.

"Although it's not wine, these peanuts should last long enough for me to enjoy the show." Lee Tao chuckled as he glanced at Chang Xiu and the rest.

Despite Chang Xiu and the others facing a life-and-death situation, Lee Tao had zero interest in intervening.

They only got themselves to blame for being caught in such a situation in the first place.

Sometime later, Chang Xiu and the rest were pushed into a corner as they are almost out of profound qi.

"Let it burn Let it burn~" Lee Tao started singing and began dancing around.

Steal my magical beasts?

Pay the price for doing so now.

Alas, Lee Tao had forgotten to conceal his sound while enjoying the show.

Thus, his laughter was quickly heard by Chang Xiu and the others.

"Who's there?" Chang Xiu shouted aloud.

"Ah crap, this is why I hate getting excited," Lee Tao clicked his tongue. 

"Getting busted because of a good blunder is really hilarious though." He added.

Since he exposed himself, he might as well reveal himself and let them know he was lurking the whole time.

"What's up, bitches. I'm just camping and waiting to third-party!" Lee Tao smirked wickedly.

Chang Xiu narrowed her eyes as she didn't know someone was watching them the whole time.

'How did he manage to conceal his presence?' Chang Xiu wondered silently.

"Who are you and did you set us up?"

"Do you even know who we are? How dare you curse at us and camp there?"

"Hmph, once we get out here alive, our sect will definitely not forgive you."

While Chang Xiu was busy wondering how Lee Tao managed to hide his presence, her other fellow disciples reacted differently.

They were cursing and threatening Lee Tao, making their situation even direr.

"Enough!" Chang Xiu exuded a murderous aura as she warned her fellow disciples.

"B-But Senior Apprentice-Sister Chang Xiu, he is being extremely rude."

Chang Xiu showed a fierce glint at that one person who tried to argue with her.

"I said enough," Chang Xiu said with a glare.

The person shuddered as he quickly shut his mouth.

Meanwhile, Chang Xiu glanced at Lee Tao as she cupped her fist.

"This person, may I ask for your name?" Chang Xiu said respectfully.

She wasn't going to let his cultivation base deceive her.

Even though Lee Tao was exuding a cultivation base of the Elementary Spirit Realm, she was sure that he was much more powerful than what the surface looked like.

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

"If you can survive the undying will of these two magical beasts, then maybe you can know my name." Lee Tao flashed a gentle smile as he pointed at the enraged magical beasts.

Chang Xiu nodded her head.

"Very well then."

Afterward, Chang Xiu's eyes brightened up with a golden glow as she held onto the hilt of her jade sword.

"Everyone, set up the formation." Chang Xiu shouted.

With her in the leading position, her other fellow disciples retrieved some red flag as they raised it up high.

Afterward, an illumination occurred and a visible large circle formation surrounded Chang Xiu, increasing her prowess tenfold.

Lee Tao raised an eyebrow when he saw their formation.

'What kind of dogshit formation is that? They are really unbelievable.' He thought.

Sometime later, the power-up Chang Xiu activated her movement technique, closing the distance between her and the two magical beasts.

With a swing of her jade sword, she created a powerful arc slash embedded with profound qi.

BOOOM!

The arc slashes created by Chang Xiu directly sliced the two magical beasts' defensive scale armor as they crashed into a nearby tree.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao cursed silently at this scene.

"What a bitch… out of every tree you can make them crash into, you made them crash into the one I'm camping in!"
