He Watched, Then Ended.

As Xian Li turned, the group's face changed and they asked Xian li, confused.

"Wang Li? Isn't that way the right one?"

"I noticed some wolves there, so I decided to change the direction."

Xian Li answered without looking back.

Hearing this, the group was surprised at first, but found it understandable after remembering the strength Xian Li had shown before. It was easy for even a cultivator at the first realm, The Mortal Awakening Realm, to detect someone a few meters away from them let alone Xian Li, who seemed a lot more powerful than a ordinary cultivator at the first realm.

Xian Li quietly led the carriage away from that 'weak' monster. Suddenly, he felt a wave of spiritual energ coming from that direction. He, expressionlessly, thought-

"Looks like they have started fighting.."

It was already anticipated by Xian Li. Though he didn't want to interfere in their fight, watching them from away didn't hurt, right?

Xian Li felt that it had been many years since he had seen a fight among mortals. To the previous him, it was like a fight among the particles of air which would not affect him no matter how big it gets. To the current him, it was like a childish spar between children.

He watched them fight and immediately pointed out any mistakes they made inwardly. Even the starting of the fight for few seconds had more than 10 mistakes in the eyes of Xian Li.

The impact of the battle shook the city and there was a commotion inside the city. Different emotions were exclaimed by the people. The common people had fear written all over their faces, while the upper class were not so afraid, just a little anxious. They knew that the elder fighting the monster was far stronger and that they would win easily.

The commotion didn't affect the group, which was under the protection of Xian Li preventing any shockwave from coming towards them.

Xian Li suddenly raised his eye in surprise, as he saw something shocking. The battle had ended with fall of the elder. That monster, who was about to be defeated decided to use something which looked like it's trump card.

When the final attack was about to hit it, an explosion came out from inside of it, engulfing the elder inside of it. The elder could not resist the pull and was devoured by the monster alive.

The monster, however, was not without any injuries. That technique used his life-energy and 90 percent of its strength to be used. Even then, the explosion would affect him as it would to the opponent, though a lot weaker than the one faced by the enemy.

Xian Li saw the monster as it advanced towards the city with greed and anger visible in his eyes. The greed was because he had found a full shed of meat to fill its stomach. It's anger was because that elder had forced him to use his trump card and weakened him a lot. It would need a couple hundreds of years to recuperate. But with the meat he had found, the tim would significantly decrease.

Thinking this, it advanced towards the city in it's monstrous form, unrivaled by anyone n the city. When 5 people came out of the city, exluding strong auras, the beast scoffed as they were not even in the Void-step realm. Certainly not enough to stop him even if it was not in its prime.

It was when they were about to be defeated did something shocking happened. A shadow passed at the speed invisible to anyone. It came in front of the monster taking back everyone, including the monster.

The monster catiously tried to ask for even he had not seen how he arrived in front of him, showcasing the unfathomable strength which he yet to show. He also could not see throuh the cultivation of the young man in front of him.

"Who are yo-"

IT could not even complete his sentence when a streak of light filled with the power of Heaven and Earth and Divine Qi rushed towards it. It used his entire remaining strength to stop the attack but to no avail. Any attack that came near the streak vanished. Seeing that its attacks were futile, it focused on defence but to no avail. The streak passed right through the nect of the monster effortlessly, as a knife do through butter.

The Monster, now headless and lifeless, fell without any power to resist and died.

The people who saw saw the scene could not even move, shocked and bewildered. The five men in the front were thunderstruct as they saw the monster they could not even hurt, was effortlessly killed by someone who appeared younger than them, even though they failed to see his face.

But before they could even speak anything, that young man looked towards them with the side of his eyes and vanished into thin air.

The entire battlefield and the city got silent, no one able to comprehend what had happened.

In the carriage in the forest a little away from the city.

Xian Was sitting and steering the carriage. Behind him, the group was sleeping soundly. He smiled and and cleaned his hands, covered with a red dish brown liquid. It was the blood of that monster...
