Chapter 566: Chapter 366: Incompatible as Fire and Water After a Narrow Escape (2-in-1)

A majestic voice suddenly echoed over the battlefield, causing everyone to freeze for a moment. They all looked up toward the sky.

There, a tall, middle-aged man dressed in black, with a saber at his waist, stood hovering in mid-air.

"ROAR..."

The giant centipede monster let out a roar at the middle-aged man with the saber at his waist. It was a clear threat, telling the human Cultivator who had suddenly appeared to get lost and stop meddling.

’Hmph. A creature that doesn’t know its place.’ The middle-aged man with the saber at his waist snorted coldly, then shot downward. He moved so fast that in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of the giant centipede monster.

"BANG."

A flying kick landed squarely on the giant centipede monster’s head, sending it tumbling backward. It crashed to the ground with a thunderous boom.

"That’s a Mutant Beast on the verge of breaking through to the Peak of Tier Two! And he knocked it down with a single kick?!!" one of the guards cried out in astonishment.

"Hahaha... We’re saved!" The bald bandit, Zhen, suddenly burst out laughing.

The guards and bandits had been steadily pushed back by the Mutated Giant Centipedes, falling into despair. But when they saw this suddenly-appeared, middle-aged man with a saber at his waist knock down the most terrifying and unbeatable Mutant Beast with a single kick, a brilliant light instantly ignited in their once-dull eyes.

"ROAR..."

Having taken a kick from the middle-aged man with the saber and been slammed hard onto the ground, the giant centipede monster felt like its head was about to explode.

It let out a pained roar, then quickly scrambled up from the ground. It commanded the jet-black Mutated Giant Centipedes, which it had created with its Superpower, to surround and attack the middle-aged man with the saber at his waist.

Upon receiving the command, the Mutated Giant Centipedes that had been surrounding the caravan and the bandits immediately changed direction, swarming toward the middle-aged man with the saber at his waist.

Faced with the endless, tide-like swarm of Mutated Giant Centipedes, the expression of the middle-aged man with the saber at his waist showed no change whatsoever.

He reached out and drew the saber from his waist. A powerful Spiritual Energy Wave emanated from his body, stunning everyone present.

"Tier Three...?!!" The Guard Captain and the Bandit Leader cried out in shock the instant they perceived the Spiritual Energy Wave emanating from the man with the saber.

After hearing the astonished cries of the Guard Captain and the Bandit Leader, those who lacked Perception Ability all stared wide-eyed, looking in shock at the middle-aged man holding the long saber.

Although everyone had already guessed based on the circumstances—the man with the saber hovering in mid-air and felling a Mutant Beast on the verge of Peak Tier Two with a single kick—that he was most likely a powerful Tier Three Cultivator, they couldn’t help but be shocked when it was actually confirmed.

After all, Tier Three Cultivators were quite rare. It was the first time anyone present had seen such a powerful expert.

Just moments before, they had all thought their deaths were certain. Now, with such a powerful Cultivator entering the fray, a joyous sense of salvation filled their hearts.

"ROAR..."

When the giant centipede monster saw its minions stop, intimidated by the incredibly powerful Spiritual Energy Wave emanating from the man with the saber, it immediately urged them to resume the attack.

At the same time, the Mutant Beast’s heart filled with terror, and it began to slowly shuffle backward, preparing to turn and flee.

Knowing that this sudden enemy was such a powerful Cultivator and that it stood no chance of winning, its first instinct was to escape. There was no shame in that.

"Heh heh..." The man with the saber watched the giant centipede monster continually retreat, looking for a chance to escape, and let out a cold chuckle.

He channeled the Spiritual Energy from his Dantian into the Spiritual Long Saber in his hand. A faint golden Spiritual Light blossomed along the blade’s sharp edge.

"ROAR..." When the giant centipede monster saw the faint golden Spiritual Light bloom on the Spiritual Long Saber held by the man, alarm bells screamed in its head, telling it to run.

So it immediately roared, commanding its minions to quickly attack the man with the saber.

It hoped its minions’ attack would distract its opponent, giving it a chance to slip away in the chaos.

But the battle-hardened man with the saber saw the giant centipede monster’s intentions as clear as day. Just as it was frantically roaring and urging its minions to attack, he struck first.

"BANG."

His feet slammed into the ground, leaving craters in the level earth as his figure instantly vanished.

To everyone staring intently at the man with the saber, their vision blurred. They saw him vanish, only to reappear an instant later behind the giant centipede monster.

Then, they saw the faint golden Spiritual Light fade from the Spiritual Long Saber in the man’s hand as he slid it back into its sheath.

’The Mutant Beast isn’t dead yet, is it? Why did he put away his weapon?’

Just as this question arose in their minds, the ferocious and imposing giant centipede monster froze. Then, with a loud CRACK, its body split down the middle and fell into two halves.

"BANG."

The two halves of the giant centipede monster’s corpse crashed to the ground. The cut was perfectly smooth, and a viscous, foul-smelling fluid gushed out, covering the ground.
