Chapter 381: Chapter 378: The Clash

Night. Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue finished their meal by the roadside and were strolling along the street.

Today, Yu Ningxue wore a white short skirt. Her graceful figure was accentuated, and her beautiful profile was extraordinarily serene under the moonlight. As she walked, she said, “By the way, have you seen the news lately, about the Nate Group’s artifacts?”

Xiao Tian nodded. In fact, he had been following the matter closely these past few days.

Artifacts of this caliber are sure to attract attention from all sides once they surface. The fact that they’re suddenly holding an exhibition in Shanghai surely has its purpose.

“I have a premonition. This exhibition won’t be peaceful.” At this moment, Xiao Tian waved his hand, “Of course, it might just be their one-sided provocation.”

“These foreigners are too detestable. They steal our things and show them off. Isn’t that just looking down on us?” Yu Ningxue said angrily.

“Haha.” Xiao Tian chuckled faintly. This time, if they really brought the artifacts stolen from Yuanming Garden years ago for the exhibition, he believed that Huaxia’s higher-ups would not ignore it.

“We’ll see what happens then. After all, it’s our own stuff, and we’ll have to take it back sooner or later…” Xiao Tian said calmly.

As the two talked, Xiao Tian’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

At this moment, Xiao Tian’s tone turned chilly, and he said directly, “Beautiful Master, you should leave first.”

“Why…..” Yu Ningxue originally intended to ask for the reason, but upon seeing Xiao Tian’s extremely serious and firm gaze, she knew something was up.

“But….” Yu Ningxue immediately voiced her concern. It seemed like someone was coming to trouble Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian smiled casually, “Just a group of lackeys, don’t worry.”

After some hesitation, Yu Ningxue finally bit her lip. She knew she would be of no help staying, and if anything unexpected happened, it might lead to another kidnapping incident like last time, becoming a burden to Xiao Tian. Finally, after repeatedly advising Xiao Tian to be careful, Yu Ningxue slowly left the street.

After Yu Ningxue left, Xiao Tian finally relaxed. He looked coldly toward the forest by the roadside and sneered, “You gentlemen have been following me for a while now, why not just come out?”

“Hahaha.”

As soon as Xiao Tian finished speaking, a burst of loud laughter came from the woods. Then, several tall, thin figures in black robes appeared before him. Under the street lamp, their shadows were stretched very long.

The leader of the Four Monsters sneered, “Haha, you have quite the perception ability.”

At this point, the second guy cast a glance at where Yu Ningxue left, licked his lips, and said, “That woman has quite a figure. After we deal with this kid, let’s grab her back, hehe.”

As he finished, his tone turned sinister.

Xiao Tian’s eyes suddenly grew cold, and he said flatly, “Was someone paying you to come here?”

The leader of the Four Monsters sneered, “That’s right, someone offered twenty million for your life!”

Having said that, the four of them didn’t plan to waste more words. They immediately charged forward, turning into four shadows, ready to kill Xiao Tian.

To them, Xiao Tian was just prey, a creature they could trade for a reward.

Meanwhile, in a hotel in the city, Jerry was full of smugness. He had just handed the leader of the Four Monsters a small video streaming device, allowing him to watch the “live broadcast” from his hotel room.

Jerry clearly enjoyed the process immensely, having ordered red wine to celebrate the show. His true intention was to see Xiao Tian die tragically at the hands of the four experts, to finally have his revenge.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Strong gusts blew, and the punches from those few were like a torrential storm, pounding down. It looked like an ordinary exchange of fists and feet, but lethal moves were hidden behind, each strike targeting Xiao Tian’s vital spots.

Facing this overwhelming offensive, Xiao Tian remained unhurried. His hands were in a defensive stance as he deflected a series of powerful punches with precision, intercepting the incoming attacks from the four.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

With a series of muffled thuds, Xiao Tian’s speed increased. His hands moved like phantoms; swift punches flowed, and surprisingly, he managed to fend off the attack from all four opponents.

Xiao Tian’s fist bypassed the Four Monsters’ attack and struck the second guy’s chest squarely. The force of the punch scattered the attack from the four, making them stagger back a few steps.

“What….”

The leader of the Four Monsters stepped back a few paces, clearly not expecting Xiao Tian to be this strong. Even in close-quarters combat, the four of them were no match.

“What do we do, Boss?” One of them asked, after retreating.

“This kid…is peculiar and likely has significant skills in body techniques. Don’t clash head-on; use the array to slay him! It’s the safest!” The leader hesitated briefly before giving his command.

“All right!”

The group made up their minds, quickly retreating before standing in four positions. Each of them began rapidly forming seals. Inner Qi surged.

“Kid, it’s no shame to die in this Kun Mountain Array!” The leader of the Four Monsters said proudly, clearly confident in the power of the Kun Mountain Array.

As they mobilized the array, the ground beneath them connected with lines of inner Qi.

Consequently, their speed skyrocketed, the four men moved as if they were bound together, like a venomous snake slithering rapidly across the scene, inseparable. At a glance, one might think it was a single person.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of breaking wind came as the group quickly reached Xiao Tian. They shifted positions rapidly, varying their distance. Xiao Tian frowned and punched forward, only to hit a mirage.

“This array is quite ordinary, only formidable because of their coordination, which allows them to unleash greater power.” Xiao Tian sneered inwardly.

At that moment, Xiao Tian stood still.

The Four Monsters, on the other hand, were full of smugness. Their array ensured that those who entered couldn’t find their real bodies.

“Boy, prepare to die!”

With a shout from the leader, they attacked Xiao Tian again with illusionary shifts and rapid assaults.

To them, Xiao Tian was no doubt just a dead man walking!

“Do you really think I can’t find your true form?” Xiao Tian sneered. His gaze flickered, focusing on the speeding illusions approaching him. He clenched his fists and with inner Qi infused, slammed towards a single point.

Bang!
