Heros saw that those creatures were enlarged versions of the explosive little monkey rats from before. At a glance, there were an extraordinary number of them, and they were all heading towards him.

Meanwhile, Xu Chan, who had thrown off his clothing, swayed and instantly appeared in front of him, his fist flickering with a faint light as he struck towards Heros.

Xu Chan was well aware that even if those winged rat monkeys posed a threat to Heros, it was impossible to take down this person with those creatures alone, but with him holding Heros back, it would be a different story.

He had already applied odor-blocking drugs to his body in advance. The rat monkeys were also highly intelligent. When they saw him also dealing with their hated target, they would not attack him.

However, as soon as he threw a punch, even though he was the one who initiated the attack, he discovered that Heros's punch was surprisingly fast. It actually reached him before his own, and he felt a pressure coming from a distance.

He immediately made a judgment. Given the other party's height and arm length, the fist would definitely hit him first. He still had room to maneuver, so he slightly adjusted his waist and back, and met the fist head-on.

The force of their fists collided and dissipated in mid-air. Finally, the faint light on the fist surfaces collided and mutually dissolved. However, it could be clearly seen that a small amount of light from Heros's fist remained until the end. Therefore, just before they were about to touch, Xu Chan shifted his body and dodged.

From the contact of internal energy alone, he could feel that the other party had an extremely tough body, beneath which lay extremely tyrannical strength, and the thickness of spiritual awareness was even above his own. Under such circumstances, he would of course not forcibly clash head-on.

However, combat depends on the overall application. In a life-and-death battle, whether one can fully utilize one's own advantages and avoid weaknesses is something that relies on individual performance in actual combat. Therefore, the one who looks stronger is not necessarily the one who will win.

Seeing him dodge, Heros twisted his tall body. He protected his face with one hand, and the other hand, carrying the remaining force of the punch, came down like a giant hammer.

Xu Chan inhaled, his speed suddenly increased, and he actually followed the movement of Heros's body, even faster by a hair's breadth. He instantly arrived at Heros's side, and his fist struck upwards towards his ribs, the air around his fist agitated. Heros's elbow sank in time to block it, and then he felt a wave of fist force pressing down on his face, and immediately leaned back, quickly retreating from under the shadow of the other party's fist.

Heros immediately followed up, launching several consecutive punches. Each strike emitted a deafening sonic boom, and the rumbling sound shook the surrounding rubble and water. Xu Chan swayed left and right, crouching and leaning back, dodging all the attacks, and did not make contact with Heros even once.

When the distance between the two sides widened for a moment, he immediately seized the opportunity, raised his hand, and pushed. With a bang, two streams of internal energy collided in the air, and he followed the force of the impact to tear open the space outwards.

As Heros wanted to attack again, a strange cry suddenly came from the sky, and a dark shadow fell towards him. Without even looking, he grabbed it and swung it down, instantly smashing it to a pulp on the ground. Countless feathers flew under his feet, but this action inevitably interrupted his offensive rhythm.

Xu Chan retreated to a sufficient distance at this moment. He reached to his waist with one hand, and with a whoosh, he drew out a slender and flexible long sword. With a shake, the long blade instantly produced a curve, and he pointed it towards Heros's neck, a faint light flashing on the tip of the sword at the same time.

Heros had a short sword at his waist, but he didn't seem to intend to use a weapon. He simply raised his arm to block, and light also rippled on the part of his arm that faced the tip of the sword. When it came into contact with the tip of the sword, the two lights quickly dissolved, and finally, they touched each other. Heros's arm shook with a bang, and the long sword, full of toughness, was bounced back.

But he didn't expect the heart Qi on the tip of the sword to be highly condensed at one point, and the strength actually penetrated directly into his body, even influencing the tense mutated tissue, causing his arm to feel sore and numb, as if he couldn't move it for a while.

He looked at Xu Chan with some surprise. Being able to condense spiritual awareness onto a weapon, and so covertly, would require a considerable degree of precise control over this strength unless one's spiritual awareness was very abundant in the first place. Xu Chan obviously belonged to the latter.

He evaluated from a condescending posture, "It seems I must adjust my evaluation of Mr. Xu, but this time it is not a fair contest, you are destined to fail."

Seeing that the thin sword had not been able to break through his muscles and bones even with physical contact, Xu Chan immediately understood that this person was very difficult to deal with. If he took medicine, he might be able to fight him, but the previous tube of medicine was used to lure the young of the rat monkeys.

However, he estimated that even if he took the medicine, the strength he could display would at most be equal to this person's current level, and he couldn't talk about overwhelming him, especially since Heros's spiritual awareness was undoubtedly grasped more deeply and heavily.

In addition, based on his experience, he could also feel that the person in front of him might not have used his true strength yet, so even with the swarming and ferocious rat monkeys, it would not increase the chances of winning much. In that case, it would be better to find a chance to retreat first.

When he saw that the relics were actually in the guide's hands, he had almost guessed that it was mostly given to him by his teammates, and he had also thought about the possible intentions behind it. However, he couldn't completely pin his hopes on the enemy's infighting. If there was a chance, he would definitely try it.

Moreover, if he grabbed the young of the winged monkeys and didn't throw it to the other party, he would have to bear the consequences himself. Therefore, when things progressed to the previous step, it was like an arrow on the string, and it had to be fired.

Now that he discovered that this path was not feasible, then he would definitely not fight to the death here. So with a shake of his arm, as if retracting the sword into his waist, he turned around and strode away, instantly creating a distance.

Seeing him retreat, Heros immediately chased after him. However, as soon as he started, more rat monkeys had already arrived. These things all stared at his eyes with bloodthirsty redness. Some circled and howled in the sky, while others constantly leaped and jumped onto him.

But as soon as they landed, they were shocked to death by the internal energy on his body, and then slid down from above. Even so, there was still an endless stream of rat monkeys rushing up, and after seeing the situation in front, these things immediately learned to be good. Instead of climbing up, they used their claws and teeth to tear and scratch him with the momentum of flying, and most of them concentrated on his face.

Heros had previously tried to use spiritual power to attack, but it did not have any effect. The feeling was as if the strength was scattered, or as if it disappeared as soon as it entered.

Therefore, he could only choose a solid attack. At this moment, he waved his hand, as if tearing the air, instantly tearing those creatures apart. In the place where he waved, he could even see the marks of pulverized flesh and blood where his fingers had passed. However, those rat monkeys still rushed up without fear of death, hindering his actions, and countless sharp screams kept impacting his senses.

After tearing apart several more of these creatures, he looked up and observed the flight trajectory of these things and the distance and position of each impact, and immediately found a gap for action. So in the next instant, his body swayed, and he quickly passed through the gaps, actually breaking through the heavy encirclement in one fell swoop, and instantly catching up behind Xu Chan.

But just as the momentum of his previous step passed and he was about to gather strength for the next step, Xu Chan suddenly turned around while running, and the long sword flicked open, the tip of the sword wrapped in a sharp sound of breaking through the air, heading straight for his face.

Heros stared at the faint light flickering on the tip of the sword, his eyes focused on the front. Because there was no time to meet the attack at this moment, he lowered his head, and a piece of light flashed on his forehead, colliding with the tip of the sword. The faint light on it was quickly dissolved, and the heart Qi that followed was also transformed by spiritual awareness, so that his body's momentum was not affected much at all. Only after two steps did he reach the front of Xu Chan. He clenched his fist and gathered momentum, and then slammed it up with a bang, and the air in front of him exploded.

Seeing that Heros had rushed into the inner circle of the long sword, Xu Chan simply let go of his hand. Facing Heros's fist, he calmly pushed out his palm, the faint light on it quickly dissolving. Finally, heart Qi collided, and he immediately heard the sound of tendons breaking and bones cracking there, and the blood and flesh on it also exploded.

At this time, Heros's other hand slammed up, also flashing with faint light. However, although Xu Chan was injured, his face did not change. His other hand quickly pressed up, resisting Heros's fist. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel-fire.ɴet

As the faint light between the fist and palm dissolved, this time it turned out that there was more spiritual awareness left on Xu Chan's side, so with this impact, Heros's fist could not help but stagnate, and the spiritual awareness on it also shook his arm, causing a series of cracking sounds.

As a wave of air exploded between the two, both retreated outwards.

Heros was somewhat surprised. This time, the spiritual awareness he allocated to his two hands was relatively even. However, Xu Chan used this point to allocate the spiritual awareness to be weak in the front and strong in the back, and actually managed to injure him while injuring himself.

He hadn't encountered an opponent like this for a long time, who was clearly weaker than himself in strength, but could still fight him to a draw.

But the more this kind of person was, the more he couldn't let him go. Otherwise, who knew how much trouble he could cause him in the future. And now, as long as he entangled him for a few more minutes, his own people would come up and be enough to leave him behind.

However, just as he wanted to make a move, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. He reached out and grabbed, and with a bang, a wooden short spear was taken into his hand, and it broke into several pieces the moment it was grabbed. It was just that in that instant, his arm almost didn't hold it.

He was surprised by the strength on it, and looked up to see a wide-winged bird appearing in the sky. A figure who was originally lying on it somersaulted, and then somersaulted again, finally stretching his body, and then landed steadily on the ground with a bang, only stirring up a cloud of dust.

As this person straightened his body, it could be seen that this was a tall man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, sharp eyebrows, wearing an arm-revealing practice suit, his arm muscles full, and a surge of vitality overflowing on the surface of his smooth skin. Although he didn't look as tall as him, his aura was full, especially since he felt a sense of danger from this person.

Qi Qianyang first glanced at Xu Chan, then only looked at Heros, and finally moved his gaze to the relics in his hand and said, "It seems I came in time, the thing is here."

As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly appeared in front of Heros. The two men's eyes met, he stared at the latter's suddenly contracted pupils, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly. The next moment, with a bang, Heros flew straight out, and finally crashed into a pile of rocks, and a large cloud of smoke rose.

Qi Qianyang had already taken the sphere in his hand and tossed it lightly in his palm twice.
