Chapter 65: Sneak Attack, Bait

In the eyes of the Golden-Haired Lion, this human youth was like a devil, even more terrifying than them, the Yao Beasts!

"Hurry, let's check further ahead."

"I can feel the aura fluctuations of a Huaqi Realm Cultivator up ahead. That little beast is most likely right in front…"

"…"

At this moment, a man's voice faintly drifted over from ahead.

Xiao Fan frowned. He didn't even need to guess; it was definitely the Su Family who had arrived.

"Coming over so quickly, are you in such a rush to be reincarnated…"

A ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes. He took a step forward, but then paused…

"The opposing party also has the Su Family Patriarch, who is a Great Perfection Huaqi Realm Cultivator. I am no match for him, and there are also two Su Clan Elders present…"

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan stopped again. In this situation, a head-on confrontation would bring him no benefits.

Thus, he turned his gaze toward the Golden-Haired Lion at his side… A sharp glint flashed in his eyes…

The Golden-Haired Lion felt Xiao Fan's gaze fixed upon it and shuddered… A bad premonition welled up in its heart.

…

Inside the dense forest, the Su Family Patriarch and the two Su Clan Elders had been searching for a day and a night. Along the way, they had followed some scattered footprints to reach this point.

"This little beast can really run; to think he would dare to come here!" one Su Clan Elder remarked viciously…

The Su Family Patriarch also gritted his teeth and said, "That little beast must be just ahead. Once we catch him, we will definitely torture him to death!"

Xiao Fan had killed six of their Su Clan Elders this time. Upon returning to the Su Family, the Old Ancestor would surely be furious, and by then, his position as Patriarch would be hard to maintain.

However, fortunately, most of the Su Family experts had been killed by Xiao Fan, so there weren't many people left with the ability to compete with him…

Therefore, he had to capture Xiao Fan, atone for his crimes, and beg for forgiveness.

Suddenly, a "rumbling" sound of footsteps came from ahead of the trio; it was the sound of a massive beast.

The three of them produced their respective Magical Artifact spears, furrowed their brows, and looked ahead, not rushing to act.

Many powerful beasts were hidden within the dense forest; rashly attacking might likely disturb the beasts deep inside and cause them to appear.

"Roar…"

A Golden-Haired Lion darted out from the bushes ahead and roared at the three of them…

"So it's just an Early Stage Huaqi Realm Yao Beast…"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. The Su Family Patriarch intended to kill the lion, but before he could act, the lion turned and ran.

"It runs really fast," said one Su Clan Elder.

"Wait." The Su Family Patriarch raised an eyebrow and said, "Look at what is hanging from that Golden-Haired Lion's tail?"

The other two squinted as they looked over and saw a blood-stained piece of cloth hanging from the Golden-Haired Lion's tail…

"Could this be from that little beast?" one Su Clan Elder asked hurriedly.

"That's right, it must be that little beast, but how did it end up on the lion's tail?" one Su Clan Elder wondered.

"That little beast must have been severely injured and was bandaging his wounds nearby. Since this Golden-Haired Lion has this piece of cloth…"

The Su Family Patriarch sneered and said, "That little beast must be nearby. Let's hurry and pursue."

"Could it be a trap? After all, this little beast has already killed six of us!" one Su Clan Elder suggested. They had suffered a huge loss at Xiao Fan's hands this time, and he believed they could no longer underestimate him.

"A trap?" The Su Family Patriarch sneered. "Even if that little beast wanted to set a trap, could that Golden-Haired Lion cooperate with him? Definitely not. Let's pursue; we must kill him."

At this moment, the Su Family Patriarch's eyes were bloodshot. To him, Xiao Fan had to die!

Only in this way would he have a chance to atone for his crimes; otherwise, the consequences upon returning to the Su Family would be unpredictable…

The other two Su Clan Elders thought about it and decided that what the Patriarch said made perfect sense. After all, it was just a Yao Beast?

Could it possibly be acting in cahoots with that little beast?

They didn't continue to dissuade him and followed the Patriarch forward.

The group moved very quickly, leaping from one tall tree to another, and before long, they were about to catch up to the Golden-Haired Lion…

The Golden-Haired Lion turned its head to look, was so scared that it nearly lost its soul, and continued to run for its life.

"I can sense it! There is a Huaqi Realm Cultivator's aura ahead, very faint. It must be that little beast!!" the Su Family Patriarch said viciously, his eyes full of ruthlessness.

The Golden-Haired Lion ran for its dear life…

It used every ounce of strength it had.

Hearing that Xiao Fan was just ahead, the other two also revealed fierce expressions. Even the Su Clan Elder who had consistently emphasized caution increased his speed…

They all shared the same desire to kill Xiao Fan.

However, a sudden sound of breaking air came from ahead…

"Swish" "Swish" "Swish"

"What!"

"Not good, watch out!!"

The three of them were greatly alarmed. The Su Family Patriarch roared. Four long spears suddenly shot out from ahead, being used as javelins. They came with fierce momentum, and he leaped up abruptly, dodging the spears.

"Swish"

The other two Su Clan Elders were also greatly alarmed. One of them dodged and escaped, but the remaining one dodged the first spear but failed to dodge the second. The spear pierced his chest, pinning him to a giant tree, leaving him on the verge of death…

"What, these long spears are from our Su Family!!"

The surviving Su Clan Elder was shocked. He was the very person who had accompanied Su Ming to the Treasure Pavilion, and at this moment, he recognized the origin of these four long spears at a single glance!

"Damn it, damn it! That little beast, I will kill you!" the Su Family Patriarch roared.

None of them had expected that Xiao Fan would actually be hiding in the shadows, using their own Su Family long spears as javelins to assassinate them!

What kind of tactic is this?

What kind of person could have such an idea?

The two did not pay attention to the now-dead Su Clan Elder and looked up toward the direction from which the long spears had been shot.

"Let's go, we pursue. That little beast is just ahead, be careful." The Su Family Patriarch said angrily, then charged forward, with the Su Clan Elder following closely behind.

Xiao Fan had just fired the four long spears, and seeing that he had killed one person, he immediately turned and ran, not stopping for a moment.

This was also what he had threatened the Golden-Haired Lion to do earlier…

Acting as bait to lure these people over.

Actually, Xiao Fan hadn't really thought this plan would succeed; after all, the people from the Su Family weren't fools.

But he hadn't expected that the opposing party would actually follow the lion…

"I thought I would have to ambush for a while longer, waiting for them to actively seek me out… But this is also fine; with only two left, my chances of winning are even greater."

Xiao Fan muttered, his eyes full of ruthlessness. He still had two long spears in his hands.

However, this kind of sneak attack would be hard to pull off again.

It had only succeeded just now because the three were solely focused on pursuing the Golden-Haired Lion when he suddenly struck.

With the two of them prepared, such a sneak attack would be meaningless.

"I must take out one more before I have a chance…"

Xiao Fan's figure suddenly rushed down from the tree and hid in a patch of grass…
