Chapter 261 - 261: The Unconscious Old Man, Confounding

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As the opponent’s body shrank, the expressions of the people showed no joy.

In fact, they became more serious.

In the current situation, with the reduced size, the opponent’s figure became more agile, moving much faster.

Clearly, if the opponent couldn’t win, there was a high chance they would choose to flee.

Exhaling deeply, the old man’s hands gathered energy once again.

“After we finish this, take me back to the village. Remember, we must go to the eastern village, not the western one. We’ll continue our journey after I recover.”

His words were spoken lightly, specifically addressing Li Yidao.

Li Yidao was taken aback, and when he saw the expression the old man directed at him, he felt even more puzzled.

Something seemed off!

Seemingly, even though Yun City and the current group of people treated the old man with utmost respect, the situation was not as simple as it appeared.

The old man’s actions and tone conveyed a lot.

It suggested that the situation was not as easily resolved as it seemed, and the old man did not completely trust Yun City, or at least, he harbored some caution towards a certain part of Yun City.

As the old man’s words fell, before Li Yidao could respond, an extremely terrifying aura swept over them in an instant!

Faced with such a terrifying presence, even the giant red insect, which had shown signs of agitation, went into a frenzy!

Or rather, it displayed a trace of fear!

No, it was already prepared to escape at any moment!

However, at this stage, even with the old man disregarding further serious depletion, he directly took action! Could the opponent still escape?

The answer was no!

“Beast! Today, I won’t let you get away!”

“Hell!”

A roar erupted!

The originally gigantic red insect’s body froze in place in an instant!

Then, a dazzling burst of light flashed around it!

Countless white threads instantly formed!

They sliced through its body!

In this instant, numerous pieces of its corpse scattered on the ground!

One strike!

Just one strike!

The insect they had been unable to deal with was turned into small fragments!

However, Li Yidao knew that the current outcome, or the result of the old man’s strike, was not solely due to the sharpness of his attack.

It was all about the timing!

The giant insect was currently reeling from a fatal blow it had just suffered, combined with its recent transformation.

In this state, it undoubtedly endured significant damage, facing true death at that moment.

However… the reality was not as simple or easy.

The current outcome of the battle was attributed to the old man’s actual combat situation, his mastery of the fight, and his true strength.

If any of these aspects were lacking, it would be fatal for them.

If the old man didn’t possess absolute strength, ensuring the success of today’s battle, then what awaited them wouldn’t be so straightforward!

They would be facing true death!

However…

Everything was still within an acceptable range, at least for now.

The old man had fainted without any hesitation, just as he had told Li Yidao.

Li Yidao stood beside him, as did the others who had come later.

After seeing the old man faint, they instinctively surrounded him, even unconsciously casting sidelong glances at the people from Yun City.

Li Yidao observed this action keenly.

To be honest, he wasn’t entirely sure what it meant.

However, considering these circumstances, the old man’s instructions, and the actions of the others…

Hmm…ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovᴇlꜰɪre.ɴet

Things seemed somewhat different from what he had initially thought regarding the absolute relationship between Yun City and the old man. Even though the later arrivals displayed a seemingly hostile relationship with the old man, even if there was a lot of mutual disdain and anger… But, at the moment the old man fell, their actions indicated everything!

They were protecting the old man!

Moreover, what struck Li Yidao the most, upon reflection, was that during the recent battle, the old man deliberately stayed close to the others.

Or rather, he intentionally had them protect him!

The people from Yun City, on the other hand, were positioned relatively farther away.

All these factors added up, indeed providing sufficient evidence for many things.

Li Yidao didn’t offer any response, nor did he make many moves.

He intended to leave with the old man.

As for whether they would head to the mountain stronghold or in any other direction, he didn’t have many thoughts.

In fact, he hadn’t even considered going back!

However… just then, when they thought everything was resolved without any issues, those red fragments began to gather together in an instant!

It seemed like they were about to recombine.

Li Yidao, witnessing this scene, was momentarily stunned!

The others around him also wore expressions of bewilderment.

The situation wasn’t looking good.

Indeed, things were not as simple as they thought!

With the fusion of the flesh chunks, the people around them were the first to make the most accurate response.

The insects surrounding them moved forward, attempting to consume these flesh pieces and hinder their fusion.

However, the effect seemed less than ideal!

Others also acted again. Apart from those around the old man, everyone else swiftly took action!

However… the situation seemed to be slipping out of control.

The movement speed of the flesh chunks increased unexpectedly!

The fusion process accelerated!

Seeing this scene, Li Yidao’s expression darkened.

It appeared that the opponent, after receiving the old man’s fatal blow, hadn’t truly faced death!

“Exhaling deeply, I realized I had to take action. The old man was already unconscious, and seeing that the attacks from the people around weren’t effective, what else could I do if I didn’t intervene?” Li Yidao thought.

However, just as he was about to take action, one person beside me sighed deeply.

“Well, there’s no other way; it’s always like this,” he said.

The other two shook their heads helplessly.

Following that, the person who sighed, the one who spoke, turned to me and said, “Remember what Elder Fu told you. Follow Elder Fu’s instructions.”

After saying this, without any hesitation, the three individuals changed their positions.

One person stood in front, and the other two positioned themselves behind him.

Following closely after, Li Yidao suddenly felt a burst of power that was no less potent than the old man’s eruption just a moment ago!

This scene left him momentarily stunned.

So, they also had powerful moves?
