Chapter 1318 – Quite Interesting

Caras and three more cultivators from his group immediately jumped in response as Roan's Crescent Moon was a horizontal attack. However, one of them, not expecting Roan to be able to win against Caras at all, was too slow to react. He tried to jump as well, but unfortunately, it was too late.

*Swish!*

Roan's Crescent Moon passed through the guy's Divine Energy barrier and hit him at the waist, separating the bottom part of his body from his upper part. He didn't die straight away, though. Then again, it was hard to say if he could still be saved or not.

Roan then laid his scythe on his shoulder while he walked in Caras' direction. "Hey, hey, hey! Your group was supposed to be bullying ours. How come you're this weak? Could it be that the fire-based attack you sent at me before was your full power? If that's so, then I'm truly disappointed."

Caras could not help but let out cold sweat when Roan spoke with him. Sure, he had underestimated Roan, which meant that he only used around 70% of his real power. But then again, his attack was destroyed way too easily. It was obvious that even if he gave it his all, he would still have lost to Roan's attack. "Who are you?"

"Me?" Roan said in response. "I'm someone who was cultivating a while ago, trying not to bother anyone. However, right now, I'm someone who's going to kill a few flies that thought they were the shit."

Well, Roan being able to easily subdue Caras wasn't the least bit out of Rean and Kentucky's expectations. After all, Rean and Roan could already jump almost an entire realm to fight geniuses from the Huring Sacred Land. Not only that, but those geniuses themselves could jump almost an entire realm to fight average cultivators. Naturally, someone like Caras was far from being his match anymore. Only if Caras was some strong disciple from the Lanqueas Sect would he be able to gain an advantage against Roan at his cultivation level. Obviously, he wasn't anything like that.

He then looked at Rean and Hurio, who seemed to be not in the mood to intervene at all. What did that tell him? It was probably because Rean and Hurio didn't think Roan needed their help to start with. Soon after, Caras looked at the three other members of his group that escaped the first attack. 'All of you, we were just caught off guard because we underestimated him. I didn't use even half of my power in the last exchange, so I'm taking it seriously from now on. Judging from his strength at his current cultivation level, he might be one of those geniuses from those large powers. We hit the jackpot here, you know? He's loaded for sure.'

The other three had their doubts as to whether they should continue here or not. However, after hearing Caras' words, they had to admit he was probably right. Then again, he was indeed right, as Rean and Roan really had a lot of money with them. 'Alright, how should we go about this? Should we attack the others while you keep this guy occupied?'

Caras shook his head, saying, 'No. The other two seem like they don't want to fight, so leave them be. Just make sure you pay attention to them in case they decide to join the battle. We're all going to get rid of this scythe user first. Just attract his attention for one second, and I'll use my best attack without holding back. Of course, we can't let these fat sheep go away. So, as soon as he dies, immediately shift your attention to the other two and the demon beast. If possible, keep the demon beast's master alive so we can use him to travel.'

The other three nodded after hearing that. Naturally, all that conversation was made in a moment through Divine Sense.

With that, Fire Element soon began to gather around Caras like torrents, making it obvious that he was ready to use a powerful skill. Roan, of course, noticed that and was more than happy to receive it. However, as soon as Caras started to prepare, Caras' companions attacked Roan in unison.

'Fallen Light Palm!'

'Dragon Tooth!'

'Great Tidal Crash!'

Roan narrowed his eyes in response and immediately shifted his attention to those three.

'Death Style, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

If Caras' power couldn't even hold a candle to Roan's, then let alone those three guys. Roan's Three Claws of the Dragon quickly separated in three, aiming directly for the attacks and the opponents behind them.

Surprisingly, they all smiled when they saw that. In their minds, they thought that they had succeeded in drawing the guy's attention for a moment. Soon, Caras would have him killed…, or so they thought.

*Bang, bang, bang!*

*Swish, swish, swish!*

Their attacks were instantly nullified as the Claws of the Dragon pierced through their vital points before they could do anything. One of them had his head immediately pierced through, so it was a case of instant death. The other two had Roan's scythe pierce through their hearts before spurting blood. As for the attack that was supposed to come from Caras, it had never been there to start with.

They then used the rest of their strength to look behind, just in time to see a small red dot of fire disappearing in the distance. How could they not understand what just happened? Caras had used them as bait so that he himself could flee.

As mentioned before, Caras used 70% of his power in the first attack, not half. He only said that so his companions would believe that he was stronger than Roan. However, Caras always knew that Roan's group was bad news, and he needed an opportunity to escape from demons like them. If it meant the rest of his companions had to die for the opportunity to appear, then so be it.

Of course, Roan also looked at the distance and was quite surprised. That's because he truly felt like Caras was preparing to attack him. Even the red color of killing intent came out of Caras' body, showing that he wanted Roan to die. But in the end, even his killing intent was used to create that opportunity to escape. "Quite impressive. He obviously has experience with these kinds of situations. This is most likely not the first time he has used such a method.. Very interesting."
