23: Every blade of grass and every tree is my home

"He ran away?" Goatee was furious at the sight.

"Looks like a demon!" The Black-faced Man had just clearly seen Wei Xun emerge from underground, having already transformed into human form.

"Then this is interesting!" Scarface sniffed the air, then looked in one direction with deep eyes: "This monster will be even more valuable if we catch it."

"Then shouldn't we chase him quickly?" The Black-faced Man asked.

"Don't rush!" Scarface smiled slightly, looking confident: "That demon cat suffered such severe injuries, and the smell of its blood is all over the path. Following this scent will surely lead us to their lair."

"That's right, once they return to their lair, we can catch them all in one go!" Goatee stroked his Xiao Hu, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

After rescuing the Three-Flower Cat, Wei Xun held the Three-Flower Cat in his arms and used Shadowless Step to quickly move through the Forest.

Snake Si Niang was still hiding in Wei Xun's clothes as a small snake, only poking out her small head to keep watch of the surroundings.

"Big Brother, thank you for saving me!" The Three-Flower Cat, lying in Wei Xun's arms, was very weak, having suffered severe external injuries.

"No need to be so polite with me." Wei Xun comforted it while continuously using Golden Light Technique to heal the Three-Flower Cat's wounds as he escaped.

This was the first time Wei Xun had used this move in so many days.

Although it could quickly stop the bleeding and accelerate healing, it couldn't directly restore the Three-Flower Cat's health; significant blood loss still required rest.

Moreover, this Golden Light Technique consumed a lot of stamina; the more severe the injury being treated, the more stamina it would consume.

At this moment, Si Niang poked out her head and flicked her snake tongue behind her, as if sensing something, then immediately whispered into Wei Xun's ear: "Those three people seem to be catching up!"

Hearing this news, Wei Xun cursed under his breath, then had no choice but to quicken his pace.

Soon, Wei Xun returned near the cave and called out Xiong Er, who was hiding nearby.

Seeing that Wei Xun had rescued the Three-Flower Cat, Xiong Er's eyes immediately lit up: "Big Brother, you are truly amazing, you actually rescued the little cat."

"Take Three Flowers and hide in the valley where Si Niang used to live; I haven't had time to deal with the three people chasing us yet!" Wei Xun said, then placed Three Flowers on Xiong Er's back.

Xiong Er nodded and promised: "Big Brother, don't worry, I will definitely protect the little cat's safety!"

After saying this, Xiong Er quickly left the Creek Pond with the Three-Flower Cat on his back.

Wei Xun, on the other hand, held his long saber and sat on a stone by the Creek Pool, waiting for the arrival of those three people.

As expected, not long after, the three people rushed out of the Forest. Upon seeing Wei Xun, the three of them clearly became interested.

"You've surprised me a bit. It seems you're waiting for us here!" Scarface waved his hand, signaling the Black-faced Man and Goatee to spread out in three directions, surrounding Wei Xun.

"Of course!" Wei Xun nodded, his expression calm as he asked: "I'm waiting for you here because I want to ask you a question."

"What question?" Scarface smiled at the corner of his mouth, seemingly unconcerned.

"Why are you running to my house?" Wei Xun casually asked this strange question, secretly buying time for Xiong Er and the others to get further away.

"Your house?" At this moment, the Black-faced Man couldn't help but laugh: "Where is there a house in this desolate wilderness?"

"What you said is not right!" Wei Xun shook his head and said: "This Forest, every blade of grass, every tree, every stone, every bit of earth, is my home."

"We just came, so what?" Goatee sneered, his eyes contemptuous, seemingly not putting Wei Xun in his eyes.

"Coming to someone else's home without permission and injuring my friend!" Wei Xun shook a finger: "This is not right!"

"Hahahahaha!" Scarface burst into laughter after hearing this: "You, a monster, are actually trying to reason with us?"

"This is not reasoning!" Wei Xun stood up and slowly said: "It's to tell you why you will die in a moment!"

Hearing Wei Xun's words, the Black-faced Man also started laughing: "It's my first time seeing such an arrogant monster like you!"

"This only means you have too little experience!" After saying this, Wei Xun spit out a ring from his mouth.

This ring was something he had taken from the Immortal Mountain Treasure Pavilion when he was still a mouse.

Before he transformed into a demon, his small mouse paws couldn't wear a ring, so he had to wait until he transformed into human form to try it.

He had taken three rings in total, and their effects were all different.

The ring Wei Xun spit out at this moment had golden patterns on it and was inlaid with a purplish-red gem.

"Brother Dao, let's not waste any more words with a monster!" At this moment, Goatee took out several throwing knives from his waist, looking eager to try them out.

Seeing this, Scarface didn't want to say another word: "Since that's the case, let's go together!"

As soon as Scarface said this, he was the first to charge towards Wei Xun in the distance with his long saber, moving extremely fast, even leaving a trailing afterimage behind him.

Seeing this, Wei Xun put the golden-patterned ring on his index finger, instantly feeling refreshed, and at the same time used Shadowless Step to leap backward, dodging the throwing knives shot by Goatee.

"Take my axe!" At the same time, the Black-faced Man's axe also came chopping down, and the axe even carried a surge of Qi.

Seeing this, Wei Xun had no choice but to block with his saber.

But when the axe struck the saber, Wei Xun was directly sent flying backward by the immense force.

Before Wei Xun could land and steady himself, Scarface also attacked from the side, swinging his saber horizontally towards Wei Xun's neck.

If he were hit, his head would likely be separated from his body.

So Wei Xun once again used Shadowless Step, his toes barely touching the ground before he used the momentum to roll to the side, just barely dodging Scarface's attack.

"Are you all done fighting!" Wei Xun sneered in the air, then used Black Mist Travel and exhaled a puff of black mist towards the ground.

Instantly, the entire Forest was enveloped in black mist.

When Scarface dispersed the black mist with a palm strike again, Wei Xun's figure had already disappeared from the spot, nowhere to be found.

"Hiding again?" The Black-faced Man frowned, carrying his axe: "I thought he was so strong, but I didn't expect him to be just a piece of trash who only knows how to hide!"

"Watch the ground!" Scarface focused his gaze on the ground the moment Wei Xun disappeared.

Upon being reminded, Goatee also stood on a stone, scanning the surrounding ground, trying to find Wei Xun's figure.

Just then, Wei Xun suddenly leaped out from underground behind the Black-faced Man, his right palm holding a flickering Thunder Serpent.

"Thunder Serpent!" Wei Xun roared, pushing out the Thunder Serpent in his hand with a palm strike.

At the same time, a beam of Thunder Serpent condensed from lightning shot directly towards the Black-faced Man.

The Thunder Serpent formed into the shape of a small snake in the air, moving extremely fast, reaching its target in the blink of an eye.

The Black-faced Man turned his head to look, but it was already too late to dodge.
