Chapter 217: Chapter 216: The Hunting Moment

Time ticked away second by second, and the banquet gradually reached its conclusion from its climax. The noise inside had obviously become much louder, indicating the effects of people having drunk plenty.Something's not right!

Tang San had a hunch, if Pretty Girl was only there to gather information or to take something from the mansion, she shouldn't have been lurking in one spot the whole time. She should have been searching more within the manor, and it shouldn't have taken this long!

Already more than an hour had passed, yet she remained motionless. Could it be that her target was still...

Just then, the main hall's doors swung wide open amid the raucous noise, and a group of somewhat staggering individuals emerged from within.

The leader, a Diamond Bear that stood over six meters tall, was covered in dark golden fur and made no attempt to conceal the vigorous pulsation of his vigorous blood and Qi.

Along with him were several other Diamond Bears, though their presence was noticeably weaker in comparison.

Aside from them were monsters of other races, among which two from the Fox Tribe were particularly eye-catching with their red and pale blue tails, indicative of their belonging to different Fox Demon clans. Both were very beautiful and seductive, each following by the side of the strongest Diamond Bear, laughing and chattering about something.

It was clear that today's banquet had left these monsters in high spirits.

The leading Diamond Bear laughed heartily, "If it weren't for tomorrow's affairs, we could have drank all night. Let's get together another day after I've handled the important matters. You two little fairies, I dare not keep you tonight, otherwise, heh heh heh..."

The other monsters also burst into laughter along with him. However, it was apparent that, despite his heavy drinking, the leading Diamond Bear was still rational and continued to escort the various monsters to the gate before turning back.

The other Diamond Bears accompanying him also bid their farewells and dispersed towards the deeper parts of the mansion.

The lead Diamond Bear exhaled a long breath, twisting his humanoid neck, and headed towards the main hall.

At that moment, Tang San suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. His spiritual power instantly focused, and he fixated on the Diamond Bear.

In the air, streaks of silver light appeared almost instantaneously just as the Diamond Bear took his first step into the hall. Those silver shadows had surfaced out of nowhere behind him.

The appearance of the silver light was incredibly abrupt, and without any sign of flight, it was as if the silver merely flashed, and the mighty body of the Diamond Bear became rigid.

"Roar—" A furious roar erupted in an instant. Behind him, a neat row of sixteen bolts had embedded themselves almost halfway in.

Dazzling dark golden light surged forth, accompanied by a series of hissing sounds; the bolts that had penetrated his back were ejected, and with them came sprays of blood. This blood, tinged with silver and purple, looked uncannily eerie.

And a figure also appeared next to the Diamond Bear in that instant. The Diamond Shield, triggered by the Diamond Bear Bloodline, repelled the bolts, but the large body of the bear demon shook violently, evidently suffering substantial injury.

Within those bolts was not only the force of space power, which was injected into its body, but also a potent poison. Hence, as the bear demon felt something was amiss and expelled the bolts, it also tried to purge the poisonous blood inside.

However, the poison was exceptionally treacherous, penetrating into its organs the moment it entered the body. Some blood did spurt out, but a strong sense of weakness followed suit. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Just as it let out that roar, the bear demon suddenly felt an intense piercing pain inside its brain. The roar came to an abrupt halt, and its body stiffened once more.

The figure that had appeared at its side had already charged forward.

That figure was dressed all in black, suited for night activities, with a black hood concealing any features from being seen.

She used no weapons; instead, her hands erupted with a fierce white glow and sharp claws shot out from her fingers, striking instantly at the Diamond Bear's throat.

The dark golden light flickered, and a series of sparks burst forth under the clawing of those sharp talons. The Diamond Bear's strongest feature was its defensive ability, which it still managed to display even when taken by surprise and seriously injured.

But at that moment, a bizarre scene occurred. The figure attacking it had a layer of platinum radiance bursting forth from the surface of its claws.

With a "pff" sound, the claws instantly penetrated the Diamond Shield, directly tearing through its throat.

The Diamond Bear's massive paws only managed to swipe in front of the assailant at this point, but with a flash of silver light, the figure instantly escaped its attack range.

The Diamond Bear uttered a "huoer huoer" sound as blood poured from its torn throat. Its pupils dilated, looking at the figure in disbelief, seemingly wanting to say something, but only air was released from the ruptured throat.

That figure didn't linger for an instant, with another flash of silver, she dived in again, her claws reaching once more for the Diamond Bear.

Monsters had incredibly strong life forces, so even with its throat torn open, the Diamond Bear could still muster the ability to act. But just as it was about to release its Diamond Shield again, an overwhelming wave of weakness surged within it, and its dark golden color immediately dimmed.

A claw swiftly descended, and this time, the figure appeared behind it. Its main nerve in the neck was instantly severed, and the thick fur provided no defense against the platinum claws.

Without a moment's hesitation, the assailant pushed off from its back and shot towards the outside.

With both its throat and main nerve torn, the Diamond Bear collapsed to the ground, struggle-free.

The sound it had managed to make before collapsing did stir the other Diamond Bears in the estate; when the figure burst out of the main house, over a dozen Diamond Bears, none weak in their cultivation base, charged towards her. Each one shone with a dark golden glow as they released their Diamond Shields and pounced towards her.

The person did not engage in battle but leaped up and landed on top of the main house. Abandoning the silver-flash ability, she fled swiftly instead.

Speed was the weakest point for a Diamond Bear. Their mournful roars resounded through the entire estate in the next instant, clearly having realized their leader had been slain.

But they couldn't catch up to the escaping figure, who nimbly leaped from rooftop to rooftop and soon vanished into the night.

The encounter from start to finish had only spanned around ten seconds. The entire battle was incredibly swift and went off without a hitch.

Jiali City, outskirts.

The figure enshrouded in black clothes stopped only after plunging into a forest. Just as she was about to pull off her hood, she suddenly turned around as if sensing something.

Not far behind her, a figure dressed in black, with a masked face, quietly watched her.

"You?" Her hand stiffened, paused mid-pull on her hood. Under the hood that was already partly removed, a few white strands of hair were revealed.

In the next instant, she sprung up, charging at the person who had suddenly appeared.

"Don't attack, listen to me," said Tang San, without a doubt, the Asura, behind the mask.

Leopard Flash, his figure flickered rapidly and transported Tang San twenty meters away, avoiding her lunge.

She didn't continue to chase, but instead glared at him intently, not hiding the murderous intent in her eyes.

"You have been somewhat reckless, and your plan wasn't thorough enough. How could you leave such crucial evidence for the opposing side?" Tang San said, and at the same time, he opened his palm, revealing a strand of black bolts in his hands.
