Chapter 72: Chapter 65 There are Truly Many Experts in This World_2

The giant beast was about to charge right in front of Mr. Yan, she seemed to even see the breath from the giant bear’s mouth blowing Mr. Yan’s hair in front of his forehead.

She subconsciously closed her eyes, not wanting to see the tragedy unfold, cursing herself internally for being powerless, but then she heard Changtian’s calm voice.

As if he knew she would close her eyes, he said, "Keep your eyes open, watch closely, and don’t waste every detail." His tone was calm and relaxed, as if discussing the weather rather than a slaughter.

Ning Xiaoxian trusted him unconditionally, so even though it went against her own will, she still tried her best to keep her eyes wide open.

Indeed, a miracle occurred.

It seemed like a faint trace crossed the air in front of the giant bear, barely noticeable in the dusty environment. However, the wildly running giant bear suddenly let out a tragic yell, turned its head, and its previously straight trajectory skewed.

The giant bear couldn’t stop its momentum. It brushed past Mr. Yan and slammed heavily into a big tree ten meters away, making a very dull sound. The big tree, which could be embraced by three or four people, struggled, twisted, and finally snapped in half. The tree trunk slowly fell, leaves, branches, and dust flying everywhere, creating a spectacular scene.

The Bear Demon seemed to be so dazed from the collision that it didn’t get up immediately.

One could imagine that if such a powerful collision had hit a person, what a cruel scene it would be, if not turned into a meat pie, at least disfigured, right? Could Mr. Yan’s slight frame have endured such a hit?

"What happened?" She nudged Bai Jing lightly with her elbow, but the two little bat demons also widened their eyes, shaking their heads blankly, clearly not having seen clearly.

"That Mr. Yan had a stone in his hand. When the stupid bear nearly charged at him, he flicked the stone and injured the bear’s upper eye-socket," Changtian explained languidly, and then sneered, "Humph, merciful, truly merciful. He didn’t even want to kill a bear!"

So, that "bullet" that was almost too fast for her naked eye, was actually released by Mr. Yan? But from beginning to end, she hadn’t seen Mr. Yan lift his hand at all. Indeed, there are many experts in this world; she just hopped on a ride and happened to meet one.

She sighed softly, realizing she wasn’t very surprised; it seemed like Mr. Yan was supposed to be special.

And Changtian mocked him for being "merciful". What did this imply? It suggested that Mr. Yan had the ability to take the life of the Bear Demon with just that one stone, considering that it was a Bear Demon whose flesh was so thick that Ning Xiaoxian’s dagger couldn’t pierce it. Mr. Yan could injure its eye socket, and could also blind its eye, but he chose not to kill it out of compassion, only diverting its path temporarily.

In this world where Immortals and demons contend for supremacy, there still existed such kind-hearted people!

From the Bear Demon’s appearance to charging into the tree, although it seems a long story, it was actually just a matter of moments. When the giant bear charged, its colossal body completely blocked Mr. Yan from view, Deng Hao and the others couldn’t see anything in front of it. Except for Changtian, no one else saw Mr. Yan’s slight movement; seeing the Bear Demon suddenly change direction and crash into a tree, although not knowing what had happened, they all let out a long breath of relief.

"Formation!" He waved his hand, a flicker of anger in his shout. If any guests were killed by the Bear Demon today, he would lose all his face, although knowing the massive impact of the bear was formidable, he couldn’t blame his men for not daring to intercept, but he was extremely irritated.

The men of the merchant team didn’t say a word but quickly surrounded the still downed giant bear.

The passengers took the opportunity to jump down from the carts and gathered around Ning Xiaoxian, probably feeling that this was the safest place for the moment. After all, against a giant bear, what could those thin wooden walls of the carriage box do? Better to trust their own legs.

Zhang Sheng, frightened, had his usually bright red lips turn pale. When he jumped down from the carriage, he almost fell, but was steadied by someone next to him.

This was the first time everyone saw Mrs. Zhang, Cui Yingying, make an appearance. At such a critical moment, she still didn’t forget to cover her face, leaving only a pair of almond eyes visible, clear and bright, not showing a trace of fear or tears. With just these eyes, Ning Xiaoxian was sure this woman was certainly not unattractive. She was quite tall, half a head taller than Ning Xiaoxian, with curves that showed the poise of a mature woman.

Quite the tearjerker. Ning Xiaoxian snorted internally, suspecting anomaly where abnormality sprang; she knew there was something fishy, but unfortunately those who could hear the secrets were unwilling to disclose them to her.

Now that the men’s attention was captured by the giant beast, not many glanced back. But Mr. Yan seemed to feel Ning Xiaoxian’s flickering gaze, turned around, and gave her a slight smile. This smile was no different from usual, but after this event, his image in Ning Xiaoxian’s mind had suddenly grown much larger.

A young member of the merchant team raised his sword and thrust forcefully towards the giant bear’s back. Deng Hao’s complexion changed, shouting, "Stop!" But it was too late; the treasure sword forged from refined steel stabbed into the bear, yet there was no blood—it didn’t even pierce the skin!

"Roar!" The giant beast, pained, finally recovered from the forceful impact. It particularly thanked the person who awakened it, so it extended a cushion-sized giant paw, turned around, and swatted the young man flying seven or eight meters away.

He didn’t even utter a sound; when he landed, five claw marks ran through his entire front with his chest cavity caved in, his face frozen in a look of terror; he was already dead even before hitting the ground.
