Just as all three felt there was no hope of survival, there was a sudden movement from the periphery.
Hu Liena's eyes suddenly glowed with a strange brilliance, but when she saw who it was, her expression suddenly changed: "Don't come over! It's dangerous!"
The newcomer was dressed in white, whiter than snow, with a white jade mask covering his face. His aura was ethereal, like an immortal descended to the mortal realm. Such a young man had come to Sunset Forest alone.
Hu Liena had thought a rescuer would arrive, but she never expected someone coming to their death. The key was, it would be a shame for this person to die.
Even with his face covered, Yang Tian's mere presence could instantly win a girl's favor. This was his capital.
"Sister, prepare!" Xie Yue's eyes were cold. If Yang Tian took a few more steps, he would very likely provoke the Weird Mantis's attack. This was their only chance to survive. As for Yang Tian's life or death, aside from Hu Liena, Xie Yue and Yan didn't consider it.
Yang Tian paused. He had come to investigate after sensing spirit power fluctuations here, and unexpectedly encountered these three.
Having thoroughly read the Douluo novel, how could Yang Tian not recognize the Spirits of these three?
However, looking at these three now, they seemed to be trapped by a small fellow.
How unlucky, to encounter the jungle assassin, the Weird Mantis.
"You, there's a Spirit Beast here, a Weird Mantis, be careful!" Hu Liena was still kind-hearted. She couldn't bear to see Yang Tian killed by a Spirit Beast so ignorantly. Such a young man with an outstanding aura, his talent couldn't be bad, could it?
"Nana, why are you reminding him?" Yan spoke with some anger, his gaze towards Yang Tian filled with killing intent. This pretty boy, what right did he have to make Nana speak up to save him?
Feeling Yan's killing intent, Yang Tian expressed his innocence, but he was too lazy to bother. A mere Yan, just trash.
"Ding! Mission issued: Rescue Hu Liena and teach Yan a lesson.
Mission reward: Three ordinary theft coupons, one brave theft coupon."
Another mission. Yang Tian calmly surveyed his surroundings, his gaze lingering on a certain tree trunk for a moment, then he continued forward, saying indifferently, "It seems your lives are not meant to end."
Seeing Yang Tian continue forward with such an easygoing demeanor, Hu Liena's heart instantly leaped to her throat. Her beautiful eyes constantly watched Yang Tian's surroundings, but the lack of spirit power and prolonged concentration had already blurred her vision somewhat.
At a certain moment, Yang Tian's steps suddenly halted, then he abruptly raised a finger, blocking it by his ear.
Clang!
A metallic clash sounded, and a scythe-like arm was blocked by Yang Tian's single finger.
In an instant, Hu Liena was stunned, Xie Yue was stunned, Yan was stunned, and even the person hiding in the dark and the Weird Mantis were stunned.
The Weird Mantis's scythe-like arms were famously sharp; it was no exaggeration to say they could cut iron like mud. Yet, today, one was blocked by Yang Tian's single finger.
"A little less force." The dragon scales on his finger were thin and dense. Yang Tian's finger seemed to be enveloped in a layer of golden light, and it had simply blocked the Weird Mantis's attack.
Xie Yue heard Yang Tian's somewhat dissatisfied comment and his mouth twitched, having missed this excellent opportunity to kill the Weird Mantis.
The Weird Mantis's figure disappeared again. Yang Tian didn't stop it, but Yan in front cursed loudly: "Idiot, why did you let it go? Do you know the consequences of letting it go?"
Yan's shouting came without any warning; even Xie Yue, who was close by, couldn't stop him in time.
Yang Tian's face, hidden by the mask, showed no expression, but the slight curve of his lips was enough to show that he had not ignored Yan's cursing.
Xie Yue felt a chill down his spine. They finally had a savior, and he seemed strong enough, yet Yan's words had completely offended Yang Tian. He felt like stabbing Yan right now. He immediately scolded, "Shut up, do you want to die?"
The Weird Mantis was troublesome enough; offending Yang Tian as well would surely lead to their deaths.
Hu Liena also angrily rebuked Yan: "Why aren't you apologizing to this young master?" Always messing things up, Hu Liena found Yan increasingly displeasing now.
Low on looks, low on emotional intelligence, weak in strength, and now even his IQ was gone.
Yan seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing, but apologize to Yang Tian? How could he? He was a prodigy of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. Moreover, Hu Liena actually rebuked him because of Yang Tian, which made him even more annoyed.
Seeing Yan had no intention of apologizing, Hu Liena's expression grew colder. She had no choice but to turn around herself, put on a gentle smile, brushed back a strand of hair from her forehead, and bowed to Yang Tian: "Young Master, please don't take offense. My classmate here has offended you. I, Hu Liena, apologize to you on his behalf."
Yang Tian calmly watched Hu Liena. At this moment, Hu Liena's clothes had many tears due to the Weird Mantis. One tear on her chest, because her leather top was already too tight, had retracted after tearing, directly revealing half of a peak.
Other tears also exposed glimpses of her skin, a beautiful sight.
As if noticing what Yang Tian was looking at, Hu Liena's face flushed, feeling ashamed.
Yang Tian shifted his gaze. Under his divine soul perception, the Weird Mantis had nowhere to hide, but he clearly didn't intend to kill the Weird Mantis. Instead, he asked Hu Liena, "What is his relationship with you?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena looked at Yan, whom Yang Tian was pointing at, and immediately said, "There's no relationship, just classmates."
Hu Liena's unhesitating answer made Yan even angrier. He had pursued Hu Liena like a dog for so many years, yet she was so nervously explaining herself in front of a boy she had just met less than two minutes ago.
Yang Tian nodded lightly, then pointed to Hu Liena's clothes and said, "Aren't you going to cover up? Do you like exposing yourself?"
Hu Liena's face flushed, and she quickly explained, "How could I? It's just, it's just that I didn't pay attention just now."
"Now you have. And... since you have no relationship with him, you don't need to apologize. I wouldn't go so far as to take my anger out on a beautiful woman." Yang Tian smiled. Hu Liena nodded gently, then took out a long robe from her spirit tool and put it on.
Yang Tian walked step by step towards Yan. Xie Yue's gaze was somewhat complex. Yang Tian was their hope for survival. However, that scoundrel Yan had almost driven Yang Tian away with a single sentence, even pushing him to the opposing side.
For the first time, Xie Yue felt how unreliable Yan was as a teammate.
Walking three steps in front of Yan, Yang Tian stared into Yan's eyes, his tone indifferent: "You want to kill me?"
Yan's heart tightened. Indeed, when Yang Tian first appeared and Hu Liena warned him of danger, he had harbored a hint of killing intent. However, it was only for an instant, yet Yang Tian had perceived it? This was too terrifying!
"Man, be responsible for your actions. You dared to curse me, why don't you dare to stand up? You dared to harbor killing intent, why don't you dare to admit it!
I'll give you a chance, a chance to kill me.
Use your strongest power to kill me."
