“I’ll chop off your head with a single stroke!”

These fierce words from Mao Nanbei, which Lu Xun found silly before, now sounded incredibly heartening!

“Chop him! Fourth senior sister, chop him!” Lu Xun was mentally cheering for Mao Nanbei.

The brilliant and domineering Knife Qi closed in on the mysterious man in an instant. He had to quickly retreat, pulling out a big ruler-like object while doing so.

When the Knife Qi collided with the huge ruler, it caused cracks to form on it, and the man was sent flying backward in mid-air.

This mysterious man surely possessed at least the power of the fifth realm, yet he nearly failed to withstand a single strike from Mao Nanbei!

Mao Nanbei appeared beside Lu Xun, gently patting her small hand on him, releasing him from his restraints.

“Little Junior Brother, are you alright?” Mao Nanbei asked in concern.

Fury was burning in her eyes.

This is my Little Junior Brother!

If he dies, who will make delicious food for me?

If you mess with Lu Xun, you’re messing with her food!

This is too much to endure!

“I’m fine, I’m not injured.” Lu Xun reassured her as he returned to his paper crane.

He didn’t expect Mao Nanbei to actually come. This meant… this little loli had been tracking him!

Lu Xun speculated correctly. If not for tracking him, there’s no way Mao Nanbei could have arrived at Taishan so quickly.

Noticing that Lu Xun often left at late hours recently, she grew curious and decided to covertly follow him.

Mao Nanbei was always stronger than Lu Xun, and as a descendant of cats, she was naturally adept at hiding.

With her aura concealed, Lu Xun could not detect her at all.

Consequently, she watched Lu Xun fly around the region of Three Thousand Mountains, as if he were searching for something.

Looking and searching, he traveled a great distance and finally stopped at a small mountain called Taishan.

After reaching the mountains, she saw Lu Xun take out a necklace he got from Tianque Gate and walk around, even occasionally running towards some secluded corners.

Back at Tianque Gate, Mao Nanbei was puzzled. “What does Little Junior Brother want with this necklace?”

The words Lu Xun used to fool Mo Beipo and others left Mao Nanbei confused.

“What is Little Junior Brother talking about? I don’t understand any of it.”

“Did I miss something?”

“Did he do something that he can’t tell me?”

With these thoughts in mind, Mao Nanbei began to tail him. Just recently, she watched as Lu Xun arrived at the peak of Taishan, and then, with a flash of light from the necklace in his hand, he vanished into thin air.

“Where did he go!?”

“Where did my Little Junior Brother go!?”

Mao Nanbei was momentarily stunned and began searching around Taishan for Lu Xun.

After her futile search, she didn’t leave. Instead, she chose to wait there for Lu Xun.

“I’ll have to ask him later what on earth he’s doing out here in the dead of night!”

“So sneaky! He didn’t even inform me, his senior sister!” Losing face once again, Mao Nanbei felt embarrassed.

She didn’t care what Lu Xun wanted to do. All she yearned for was the dignity and respect as his senior sister.

I, Mao Nanbei, demand respect!

She didn’t act right away because while she was waiting, she noticed a brook on the small mountain where she was hiding. Noticing an ample amount of plump fish in it, she went fishing.

“If he doesn’t cook me a couple of these plump fish later, I will never forgive him, hmph!”

Soon after, all that she was witnessing unfolded.

At this moment, Lu Xun was riding on the paper crane, while Mao Nanbei was floating in the air. Despite her small stature, it somehow provided a strong sense of protection, as she stood in front of Lu Xun, shielding him with her body.

Her small hands grip a pair of short knives, her eyes staring intensely at the mysterious man, a powerful aura emanating from her body. The sight made Lu Xun feel as if he were looking at a cat with its fur bristling in anger!

It’s scary when a cat really loses its temper, bristles its fur, and arches its back.

The Mysterious Man didn’t expect outsiders to be in the shrine. Neither did he expect an unexpected cat demon to appear.

But he was clear that the situation was now very problematic.

Looking down at the large ruler in his hand, he estimated it could only withstand two more of Mao Nanbei’s attacks!

After two more hits, it will definitely be ruined!

This Cat Demon was clearly at the same realm as him, so why was her Knife Qi so overbearing?

Mao Nanbei did not rest. After confirming Lu Xun’s condition, she took the initiative to attack.

The mysterious man quickly retreated. He needed to get back to Taishan.

He would stand a chance in a battle there with the help of the shrine. If he engaged in a battle in mid-air, he would certainly die!

At this moment, Mao Nanbei’s second strike came.

This strike was even more domineering than the first. The mysterious man originally thought his ruler could withstand two more hits, but it shattered under Mao Nanbei’s second one!

What sort of knife technique was this?

Each strike was more powerful than the last!

Lu Xun, who was watching the fight from atop the paper crane, also realized this. He discovered that Mao Nanbei’s knives could accumulate power!

As long as she landed a hit, the next attack would definitely be stronger than the last!

At this moment, the third attack arrived.

Even from a distance, Lu Xun could feel a wave of air wash over him.

This strike seemed to tear apart the night!

The brilliant Knife Qi made the stars in the night sky seem dull. Lu Xun now had a good indication of his fourth senior sister’s strength.

Even if he was using the Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero account, he would still stand no chance against Mao Nanbei!

She was likely still in the fifth realm, which equated to being around level 50. But her combat prowess was so impressive that even accounts at level 60 would not be able to withstand her attacks!

The body of the mysterious man started to burn with a deep purple flame, as if forming a pair of fiery wings.

The sea of fire spread, creating a wall of flames.

He was no longer retaliating, but only trying to defend. He needed to reach the top of Taishan Mountain where he could put up a fight!

The bright Knife Qi came into contact with the deep purple flame. The flame raged wilder, its presence intimidating. Lu Xun could not help but imagine the beastly figure etched on the shrine.

The fire at this moment was like a burning totem!

“This must be from the Foreign Race!” By now, Lu Xun was almost certain of his identity.

But he was puzzled. Why have the Foreign Race arrived now? The timeline was off.

Could it be that a small troop of the Foreign Race had landed on the Heavenly Dust Continent long ago, and that no player knew about it because it was neither during the internal testing nor public testing phases?

But why was the shrine later left unguarded, allowing a certain guild to set up camp and turn it into their base?

“Could it be that these Foreign Races that arrived earlier on the Heavenly Dust Continent returned after a while?” A thought sparked in Lu Xun’s mind.

This line of thought felt eerily familiar, giving him a strong sense of déjà vu.

——Just like the Foreign Race were another group of game players!

Wasn’t it like a group of beta testers who played first, then disappeared after the closed beta period ended, and after some time the open beta began with a new wave of players arriving in large quantities?

It was exactly the same!
