She took a turn around and went into the woods. She jumped up a tree to rest while digesting the news she had heard earlier.
What in the world was this place? With her eyebrows furrowed, she contemplated this truly perplexing problem.
At first, she thought that Black Mountain City was an inhabited town, but now this city should be a place similar to a mountain bandits’ stronghold. This place was simply not accessible at all!
While she was thinking, she suddenly heard the roar of ferocious beasts. She looked back quickly and saw that a pack of beasts that looked like dogs, pitch-black, and about half a man tall ran towards her and kept barking. A black dog running ahead of the pack kicked its hind legs and pounced at her. She was frightened and instinctively screamed. When she scooted her body back, she fell down from the tree.
“Damn it! What kind of dog is this?”
After she steadied her feet, she looked at the beast. It bared its two sharp fangs and its height was about half of a man. It looked like a wild dog, but its body exuded a dark breath. The beast let out a growl, staring at her with its fangs exposed and coming to approach her. She immediately broke into a run and took flight.
“Roar!”
“Growl!”
Dozens of fierce black dogs were dashing after her on all fours, howling constantly behind her. In order to dodge their pursuit, she took out the medicine bag from her waist and sprinkled it behind her. She quickened her pace and soon shook off the ferocious beasts behind her.
She arrived at a place, bent her waist and propped her hands on her knees, gasping for breath. She turned her head to look back. The beasts did not come after her, so she sat down on the ground.
“What were they? Still trying to chase me?” She sneered, mocking herself. “It’s like a dragon swimming in shallow water tricked by a shrimp or a tiger coming down to the plains bullied by dogs. Isn’t that my current situation?”
She didn’t know how she got here, but she couldn’t go back since she had no idea where this place was. All she encountered were either devilry cultivators, evil cultivators, or wicked people. Even a group of ferocious beasts that looked like dogs were chasing and barking at her. She was in such a foul mood that she was about to explode.
But just at this moment, a devilry cultivator appeared not far away and noticed the figure sitting on the ground. He immediately restrained his breath and came approaching with light steps. When he was nearly five meters away, he suddenly attacked her.
At this time, Feng Jiu was about to burst out. When she sensed the killing intent behind her, she did not choose to avoid the fight, but quickly turned back and slashed at the man with her broadsword. Her mystical energy breath also emerged at the same time she swung the broadsword. A fierce and terrifying sword intent slashed in mid-air.
“Whoosh!”
Flabbergasted, the devilry cultivator retreated quickly. But, he was not quick enough and his abdomen was wounded by the sword intent. His robe was torn, his skin and flesh had a slash across as blood spilled out. The sudden pain made him groan and instinctively covered the wound with one hand. He stepped back quickly and stared warily at the person who then turned around.
He didn’t see the surging aura on this person’s body before. But, all of a sudden, such a strong combat strength burst out and wounded him with just one blow. It shocked him to no end.. He tried to escape from this dangerous person, and so he took a few steps to the back.
