Translated by Lesyt Team

Hu Ma hadn’t thought about it a lot. Since Shao Xuan came, he would naturally no longer focus on others. He moved and the stone stick in his hand leaned towards one side to aviod this strike.
However, Hu Ma did not expect that Shao Xuan would move much faster than he imagined. When the sword in his hand collided with the stone stick, the sword moved with a little strength. He then made another strike.
The way in which he slashed was similar to the way he slashed at the beasts during hunting.
However, this was not the end.
The third strike, the fourth strike...
One strike after another. As long as this stone stick was shoved away, Hu Ma’s head would be cut down.
Being attacked by successive strikes, Hu Ma only resisted with his stone stick.
The sword hit the the stone stick with such a violent force, some stones spattered around and caused sharp rattle. The sound became louder and even louder than the sound issued by both in the fight.
The storm-like attacks made him find it hard to resist. Those who saw them in the surrounding area were shocked. They all looked over there in a daze. Before the battle, they didn’t expect this would happen.
Who was Hu Ma? Many travelers who often rested here were familiar with him, he was also one of the well-known killers of the Dishan tribe. Now, however, this senior totem warrior was being beaten badly by a young intermediate totem warrior of the Flaming Horns tribe!
However, Shao Xuan was also unusual. Obviously he was not a senior totem warrior, but his power and speed were superior to otherintermediate totem warriors. Looking at the others of the Flaming Horns tribe, everyone was surprised. It seemed the people of the Flaming Horns tribe were somewhat unusual. They were more powerful than those at the same level of other tribes in a one-to-one fight. The most unusual person was the one who was fighting Hu Ma.
It was expected that the Dishan tribe would be stronger, for there were three senior totem warriors, while there were only two in the other tribe. But now? They couldn’t draw a conclusion in a short time, but if it went on like this, everyone was not optimistic about the victory of the Dishan tribe. The Dishan tribe was overwhelmed. Ouch! Even if the Dishan tribe won, they would suffer a lot. In a short period of time, they could not recover.
So, if they wanted to avoid this result, the three leaders of the Dishan tribe had to change the current situation.
Over there, the crowd once again focused on Hu Ma and Shao Xuan. If the Dishan tribe wanted to change the situation, they all depended on Hu Ma, for the other two were in worse condition.
Although Hu Ma was said to be violent in this area, he was not a fool and he was clear about his situation. On his forehead, a lot of sweat was dripping, but he did not wipe it off.
He did not expect that he would be beaten by such a young man and fail to fight back. He had no choice but to defend. Facing such an attack, he couldn’t do anything more to fight back. His oppoent was just an intermediate totem warrior. Though he was unusual, Hu Ma was sure of it.
Shameful. It was shameful!
The angrier Hu Ma was, the more he concentrated. He would die with just some negligence in such a fight between two powerful men. Hu Ma had been in such a trouble frequently.
Shao Xuan once again waved his sword to cut at him, and Hu Ma roared. The totem power incresed again, almost to the limit. The rock under Hu Ma’s feet issued a loud sound and was dented instantly. He also looked shorter instantly, his feet were in a crater. His straw shoes had been shattered.
Hu Ma’s knees bent, at this moment, he was like a pulled arrow, ready for flight.
The moment that the sword and stick collided, the full outbreak occurred. The palm of Hu Ma’s hand was deeply sunken in. The fractured rocks and stone chips around the place were all soaring high. If the distance was close, you could even hear some breaking sounds from the rocks under the feet.
This time Shao Xuan did not slash at him successively, but removed his sword. Lifting the sword, Shao Xuan stepped back because of the impact. He didn’t attack him again immediately. Holding the sword, his hand was bleeding. Resisting against the force of Hu Ma, Shao Xuan was also hurt and his whole arm was numb. There was a gap on the stone sword and Shao Xuan, familiar with the sword, knew that it could only withstand two more of Hu Ma’s two hits. His third hit would break it.
Above them, the young people who had been concerned about the fight in front of the hole excitedly said: “Unexpectedly the young man can even defeat Hu Ma. He looks as young as me?” He was happy to see Hu Ma’s being defeated.
But next to him, another young man was not so optimistic, and he looked a little worried: “Oh, the young man will lose. What a pity.”
Coming out of the hole, Gu La saw that scene and also nodded. He looked indifferent and said: “That young man failed to kill Hu Ma just now, so he will suffer. He is good at attacking suddenly and quickly. Just when he attacked Hu Ma, it was also a sudden attack. If not, it is difficult for him to defeat him. Now, Hu Ma has recovered, he will not have another chance to kill him.”
“Indeed, even though he is strong, he is just an intermediate totem warrior. And it's undeniable that there is a gap.” Said the man next to Gu La.
Gu La’s eyes moved and said: “Have you noticed that the young man mobilized the totem power faster than the other two senior totem warriors? The faster he mobilizes the totem power, the more skillful he is at controling the totem power.”
Hearing that, the others fell silent. They did not notice this, and if so, it was really shocking. That young man was not inferior to those of the tribes in the central region, not to mention the fact that he was young.
One man said with puzzlement: “Where is the Flaming Horns tribe from in the end? It should have been famous for its strength. Is it too far away from here?”
More than twenty people could defeat this team of the Dishan tribe. How about the entire tribe? How many unusual people like him were in that tribe?
While the few people above the hole were talking, the war in front of the Dishan tribe’s hole continued.
Outside the pit, Hu Ma looked very savage, walking barefoot on the ground. Wherever he went, the broken stones were crushed into chips, his red eyes showed he was ready to kill him.
The people of the Dishan tribe in the surrounding area saw Hu Ma and could not help but once again retreat to stay far away from him. Instantly, it was an empty field. In this field, there was only Hu Ma and Shao Xuan on the other end.
Hu Ma’s toes touched the ground and his body moved. He rushed straight at Shao Xuan. Each step caused a footprint in the ground and the ground also shook rapidly. The wind blew the stone chips and dust. Hu Ma’s arm that was holding that stone stick swelled. With the shaking of the shoulders, his arm hit at Shao Xuan like a whip. Where the arm arrived, the wind blew.
The stong wind blew and Shao Xuan carefully listened to the movement around. His eyes flashed and he didn’t retreat. Instead, he just moved forward. When they were about to confront with each other, he suddenly changed his direction and instantly slowed down and was no longer aggressive. He looked like a sleek and cunning loach. He turned around and changed the direction. It was not an attack, but a retreat. He stepped back a few meters.
Boom!
The stone stick hit the ground and the ground trembled again. There was another pit in the ground.
Hu Ma failed to hit the target. He didn’t stop, but continued to attack as Shao Xuan had attacked him in the beginning without pause. The large stone stick seemed to be light and integrated with his arm. Each hit was very heavy. Spattering stone chips were like blossoming flowers. They kept falling.
People around there avoided coming close to them. No one wanted to stay in such a dangerous place. Therefore, even if many people of the Dishan tribe stayed here, many of them hadn’t taken actions. In particular, people near the three leaders had left and it was empty.
Boom!
It was another heavy hit on the ground, but the target escaped it. Even the calm onlookers could not figure out why Shao Xuan kept dodging.
Retreat? No, attack? No.
Sometimes that young man even appeared in the front. Was he too confident?
Above the hole, the people who had been concerned about the fight looked to Gu La. Gu La had just said the young man would certainly suffer, but now it seemed that the young man still had a chance to win.
Gu La could not help but get flushed, for he really did not expect that man to suddenly change his strategy.
“Well, look, keep looking!” Gu La said.
Hu Ma’s stone stick was worn out. Even the finest stone could not stand such repeated hits.
Kaka!
Kaka!
The ground under the feet issued the sound.
It was not the sound made by one or two stones, but the whole mountain!
People with good hearing could not help but stop to think about it. For those travelers who had much experience, they were familiar with such a sound, so did the people of the Flaming Horns tribe.
Everyone in the field seemed to stop suddenly.
At the top, probably because of the fight, a protruding stone was shattered. Now, the stone detached from the mountain, rolled down, smashed on the aisle in front of the hole of the Dishan tribe and made a loud sound.
Kaka Kaka~~
A louder sound was approaching again.
No one moved and the ground under the feet trembled as if it was about to break.
The mountain was going to collapse!
No one knew if there was any collapse in other places.
Whether it collapsed or not, they had better leave here. If one fell down or was hit by the stones, even senior totem warriors would be injured. No one wanted to be hurt because of this.
Regardless of the confrontation, the people of the Dishan tribe and the Flaming Horns tribe evacuated. Some people of the Dishan tribe entered the hole and some of them retreated towards the two sides of the aisle.
Except Shao Xuan.
Just when they wanted to leave, Shao Xuan suddenly stepped on the ground. He moved towards Hu Ma and swiftly slashed at Hu Ma, who was about to run to the entrance of the hole.
Hu Ma was furious, he did not expect this young man to even attack him regardless of the danger at this moment!
