Chapter 56: The Power of the Dragon Claws!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“We don’t even know when Number Eight will get out of this mess and have a drink with us…” Wang Guang mumbled into the seemingly endless fog that blanketed the forest.

At the same moment, Xiao Fei’s Warriormate received a message.

Xiao Fei immediately opened the message and took a look. He could not help but smile as he said, “Number Eight sent us a message. He told us to wait here, and he’ll be here in a few days.”

Upon hearing the good news, everyone on the team smiled.

The giant Wang Guang threw his Gatling gun on the ground and collapsed on the ground as he let out a long sigh. He smiled and said, “We can finally take a break for a few days!”

The others, namely Xiao Fei, Zhou Feng, Liu Xiao, Zhao Wu, Liu Jian, and Li Xuan all sighed as well as they rested where they stood.

In order to find Yang Tian and get closer to where he was, they had walked without stopping for ten days. Compared to their previous journey, they were far more tired.

After resting for an hour, Xiao Fei circled the area and found a clearing to set up a temporary place to rest.

This time, Xiao Fei and the team brought more equipment with them to defend against the pack of Black-backed Wolves. They even brought an Alloy Fencing. This fencing was made out of an alloy, and was full of barbs. This made it difficult for the Black-backed Wolves to chew through. As long as they placed it along the perimeter of the camp, it could be used to keep the wolves away.

It was already dark after setting up camp. The team of seven split into two shifts to take turns keeping watch through the night while the other shift rested.

…

The next morning.

Yang Tian did not immediately head toward Xiao Fei, but was instead, rushing in another direction.

Previously, the team had entered into the forest to kill a Silver-backed Bear, and obtain a Grade Five Beast Core. Xiao Fei needed the Grade Five Beast Core, but Yang Tian had consumed it.

Therefore, Yang Tian had to kill a Grade Five Monster to find a Grade Five Beast Core and give it to Xiao Fei.

As for the other teammates, Yang Tian naturally did not forget about them.

A Warrior needed to constantly grow stronger, but personal relationships were also very important. At times, everybody needed to cooperate in order to improve.

“Squeak squeak squeak…”

As Yang Tian walked, Drago suddenly spoke and warned Yang Tian that someone was approaching from the front.

After warning Yang Tian, Drago jumped off his shoulder and zipped up a tree.

The newcomer made a beeline for Yang Tian, and soon they met.

Xu Zhan!

Yang Tian did not think that it would be Xu Zhan that he would meet.

When Xu Zhan saw Yang Tian, he smiled as he rubbed his bald head with his left hand that was not gauntleted. He then put down his backpack.

Yang Tian could see the greed in his eyes.

“The Grade Eight Beast Core…”

Yang Tian smiled as well, but his smile was full of disdain.

Among Warriors, the strong ate the weak as well. It was common for the strong to take the belongings of the weak, and some did not think of this as shameful but rather as a point of pride.

Xu Zhan was undoubtedly someone like that.

Yang Tian absolutely despised scums like him. Previously at Qingxi Valley, both of them had fought to a stalemate because there were other Warriors around.

However, at that moment…

Yang Tian took off his backpack and threw it on the ground.

This time he would not let Xu Zhan go!

Puff…

Suddenly, Xu Zhan moved! He stepped on the ground, splashing up wet mud as he dashed toward Yang Tian.

At the same time, Xu Zhan pulled out the curved sword by his side and pressed the button on it. With a clack, the other half of the bade appeared.

Hiss…

Xu Zhan raised his hand, and the S-shaped sword flew out of his hand, flying toward Yang Tian at an incredible speed.

The entire scene took less than five seconds since Xu Zhan started moving.

Clang!

Yang Tian narrowed his eyes and quickly deflected the curved sword that was flying at him.

By then, Xu Zhan was already there, and his leg sweeped toward Yang Tian’s abdomen. Yang Tian blocked with his sword, pushing down on Xu Zhan’s sabaton.

Xu Zhan was recycling his moves. The mechanism of the sabaton opened, and a silver needle shot out at Yang Tian.

Yang Tian was ready for this, and he turned to evade.

Xu Zhan’s attack did not harm Yang Tian. Xu Zhan dashed to a tree to retrieve the curved sword that had embedded itself in the trunk and then charged at Yang Tian once more.

Xu Zhan’s attacking speed was dizzyingly fast. He was very strong and was also clad in thick armor. Yang Tian could only force him back a few paces whenever he struck him with his saber, but could never harm him.

At that moment, Yang Tian finally realized that Xu Zhan was wearing very rudimentary armor. It was newly made! He then realized that the armor that Xu Zhan wore was made from the hide of the Flying Snake. Its’ protection was amazing; it could even protect Yang Tian’s sword blows on his body.

Thud!

With a loud impact, Yang Tian and his sword were suddenly kicked away by Xu Zhan.

When Yang Tian landed on the ground, he spat out the dirt that had gotten into his mouth and got up.

“Hehe!”

Seeing Yang Tian’s sorry state, Xu Zhan laughed coldly.

Some people were liked from the first time one laid eyes on them. Others were not worth a second look. In Yang Tian’s eyes, Xu Zhan was the latter.

Yang Tian spat into the ground.

He stabbed his sword into the ground and put his hands behind his back.

“You surrender?” he asked while smiling coldly. Seeing Yang Tian’s actions, Xu Zhan was rather taken aback.

Yang Tian returned the smile. “Of course not! Because I really want to kill you. Don’t you think that a lot of people hate you?”

Yang Tian’s words made Xu Zhan’s face turn dark. Yang Tian had obviously touched a sensitive spot.

This was something Yang Tian had expected. A person who was willing to do anything to win and was also selfish and greedy would not be liked by many.

“Die!” Seeing the pity in Yang Tian’s eyes, Xu Zhan shouted in anger. He activated his gauntlet and charged at Yang Tian.

Whoosh!

When he was in front of Yang Tian, Xu Zhan put his fingers together and stabbed his hand at Yang Tian’s chest.

This was a savage move to gouge out the target’s innards! As long as the fingers could penetrate the opponent’s chest cavity, moving the fingers would be good enough to harm the opponent’s vital organs.

Yang Tian smiled coldly. His entire face was filled with a cold, murderous intention. He suddenly raised his hand and caught Xu Zhan’s wrist.

Xu Zhan’s attack was blocked, and by instinct, he used the curved sword in his left hand to cut at Yang Tian’s neck.

Yang Tian lifted his other hand to block.

With a thud, Xu Zhan’s sword had been deflected.

At that moment, Xu Zhan finally noticed that Yang Tian’s hands had become beast claws! His reaction was like lightning. He lifted his leg and kicked at Yang Tian’s abdomen. Yang Tian let Xu Zhan’s hand go and stepped back a few paces to avoid it.

“You… This is impossible!”

The two of them disengaged, and Xu Zhan spoke in amazement as he looked at Yang Tian’s hands. He knew that Yang Tian was not wearing any gauntlets. They had really mutated and turned into beast claws!

Seeing the awe on Xu Zhan’s face, Yang Tian smiled. “In this world, dragons have already appeared. Nothing is impossible.”

“Y-You’re not human!” Xu Zhan was stunned but soon came out of his stupor to speak out of his clenched teeth.

Yang Tian did not wish to waste words on Xu Zhan, and he dashed toward Xu Zhan.

Bang bang bang…

Without using a weapon, and only relying on his claws, Yang Tian moved his hands-no-his claws at an increasingly terrifying speed. As they moved, they began to blur.

Under Yang Tian’s flurry of attacks, Xu Zhan was unable to respond. In a moment, his chest had been turned into a slurry of blood and flesh by Yang Tian’s claws. The rudimentary armor made of the Winged Snake hide was like paper to Yang Tian’s claws.

“Oh…”

Xu Zhan suddenly stepped two paces back and kicked at Yang Tian’s waist. The back of his leg began to shoot out multiple needles. However, Yang Tian blocked them all with his arms and caught Xu Zhan’s leg.

Yang Tian used some force, and the claws pierced Xu Zhan’s sabaton, sliding into the flesh of Xu Zhan’s leg.

Following that, Yang Tian pulled hard and with a pop, Xu Zhan’s sabaton had been pulled apart, taking along with it a strip of flesh.

The sabaton that Xu Zhan wore was made from an alloy but it was not YT alloy. Naturally, Yang Tian’s claws destroyed it.

This was Yang Tian’s first time fighting with the Dragon Claws. The results were impressive. His transformed hands were much stronger in terms of both speed and strength.

Xu Zhan endured the pain in his leg, backed away, and then… He turned and ran!
