Earlier, while Bai Yujin was talking with Lu Zheng, the latter was actually conversing with Ravyn.

  Lu Zheng said in his mind. “Damn, I got caught. What should I do now?”

  After Bai Yujin asked the question of which was stronger, demon or beast, Lu Zheng instantly thought of Ravyn.

  Thankfully, Ravyn replied in his mind.

  “If you spent the remaining extra points on me, I can save you.”

  Lu Zheng frowned. He wanted to save the extra points, so he would be able to ascend to the Adept rank. He was only two extra points away.

  Who knows when he would have ten extra points?

  However, for the sake of survival, he did not hesitate anymore to agree.

  “Alright. How will I spend it?”

  “Give me some time. When the system asks you, don’t hesitate to say yes.”

  Afterwards, their conversation trailed off to the topic regarding the large sized and medium sized clans in the White Tiger continent.

  …

  “I’ll answer your question about which is stronger, demons or beasts? How about we find out?”

  After Lu Zheng blurted out of his mouth, seemingly radiating immense confidence, his hair stood on ends.

  He’s infuriated. He thought, staring at Bai Yujin, with aura exuding a menacing predator hungry for hunt.

  He had successfully provoked him. Now, he had to take responsibility for it.

  He shouted in his mind. “When will you make a move now, Ravyn. Take the extra points immediately and fight him. Kill him if you can.”

  Ravyn hummed in amusement. “Killing him might be difficult. At best, I can injure him. The rest is yours now…”

  “What do you mean the rest is mine? We agreed you’ll help me survive!”

  Ravyn chuckled. “Of course, I’ll help you. I’m just saying in advance as the extra points you have might not be enough.”

  Lu Zheng grumbled in annoyance. He felt like he lost in an agreement with Ravyn.

  However, it was not like he had a choice anyway. He had to spend everything he had on his possession just to survive against the hunt of the beast.

  He screamed in his mind, seeing Bai Yujin raising his claw and was about to swipe it on his face.

  Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  “DO IT! JUST DO IT!”

  “Alright. Calm down. I’m just teasing you.”

  The system’s voice echoed inside his mind.

  {An unknown powerful entity is attempting to steal a vast amount of qi from the… from the system itself.

  It’s negotiating with me.

  Do you want to give the remaining extra points to him?}

  “YES!!!”

  {Negotiation completed. Dispensing all the remaining extra points to the unknown powerful entity.

  It has been completed. Your remaining points are now 0.}

  “It’s fine!!!” Lu Zheng grumbled as he suddenly lowered his head.

  Bai Yujin was stunned. The anger clouding his mind dissipated, seeing the strange state of the prey in front of him.

  He was indeed infuriated earlier after it dared to bare its fangs to him. However, seeing it now in a defenseless state, seemingly accepting its fate, he paused his right claw and grinned.

  Nevertheless, he continued to swipe it on his head, attempting to sever it into many pieces—as many as its claws could bring.

  When his right claws like a white tiger was about to collide on Lu Zheng’s head, a simple attack with no stance and technique from his martial arts, something occurred.

  It was at this moment he noticed Lu Zheng’s right hand moved and grabbed the hilt of the sword, but with its speed, he was careless if he would be able to defend himself in such a hopeless situation.

  However, a miracle happened. As soon as Lu Zheng grabbed the hilt of the sword, it appeared like a Master himself possessed his body and smoothly, despite appearing slow, and swiftly unsheathed it and swung it towards his wrist.

  Even when Bai Yujin was confident his right claws would reach faster on Lu Zheng’s head than the sword hitting his wrist, for some reason, the thick killing intent radiating from Lu Zheng made him pause.

  And that momentary pause sent a shiver running down his spine.

  “W-Wha–”

  Before he was able to finish uttering his word, he instinctively tried to block the sword from cutting his hand by shifting the momentum of his right claws, causing the latter to collide with the sword itself.

  However, how could his claws, lacking with stances and techniques from his martial arts, be able to completely block a Legendary rank sword complemented by Master rank techniques?

  Furthermore, the way it was executed, it seemed like a Master himself had performed it, eventually causing his four claws to be sliced.

  It was the first time Bai Yujin experienced having his claws cut, akin to a nail being cut and trimmed.

  It was no near perfect cut. Even if it would be trimmed perfectly, Bai Yujin would not accept what had occurred.

  After all, it was his precious claws!

  It has been with him—severing countless trees, metals, and especially cultivators.

  Now, it disappeared like that?

  He watched as his precious claws detached from his hands in a daze. Suddenly, a sword was about to swipe on his face and he grumbled.

  “How dare you try to attack me?! You’re too slow!”

  This time, he was not careless. He used his left claws to parry the sword being smoothly executed by Lu Zheng.

  Lu Zheng, whose head was still lowered, executed the second stance, Flowing Current Stance, and executed the firs technique, Current Slice to try severing his face.

  Since the technique was executed like how a Master would, coupled with the Legendary Rank sword, the sword smoothly pierced through the left claws of Bai Yujin.

  However, before the sword successfully sliced through each of Bai Yujin’s left claws, Bai Yujin finally conjured the qi of an Adept rank.

  With his beast qi strengthening his left claws, he successfully blocked the sword from severing his claws.

  However, at this point, they were in a stalemate, the sword and the claws were stuck against each other.

  Lu Zheng’s strength could not be compared to Bai Yujin, who was not even shivering.

  Bai Yujin did not grin, he was still furious. Using his right hand, turning it to a fist, he tried to punch Lu Zheng’s abdomen.

  The immense strength being carried by Bai Yujin’s punch was suffici

  ent to crush Lu Zheng’s insides, instantly jeopardizing him!
