Normally, these beasts cultivation were very high. If it was a normal day, Han Sen would never have been able to sneak so close to them.
But since both of them were fighting with the enemy of equal strength. It was very hard to distribute there focus.
As a small mistake could lead them to a there end. So, Han Sen got a golden opportunity to sneak so close to them. And above all, half of their attention was busy guarding any sneak attack on the lotus from any uninvited guest.
As the fight continued, the ape king and poision snake joined in as well. In an instant, the fight from one vs. one, became a battle royal.
Entire place was completely filled with various types of Dou Qi. Thunder, ice, poision and wind were in all the place.
After all 4 of them jumped into the battle royal, the field became even more chaotic.
" Huh? The law of jungle is so ruthlessness. Even these monsters with little brain know, that if by any chance this fox gets the herb, he will bang them all in the future.
They know that, even if they take the herb, it won't help much to them. Espically the ape and the snake. But still, the huge amount of raw energy within the fruit can help them to some extent. But the real problem here is, if the fox who is of thunder attribute, gets this. Then, its strength will rise like an uncontrollable horse. And once he gets the hold on his power, It will definately make them pay a deadly price in future.
So, even if they don't get it. They will never allow this fox to get the herb.
But, obviously that is the last option. Their current mentality is to get the herb and if they are lucky, they might even be able to gain some properties of thunder. Espically that wind cheetah. He is very eager to taste the fruit. And it is highly likely that this fruit can make his wind, a dual property of wind and thunder, which is very compatible with one another.
So, if we were to calculate. This fruit will best work on fox, than cheetah, then ape and the last one to benifit from it would be that snake.
But that snake isn't an idiot, even it had it's greatest trump card hidden. That 'Devil Poision Fruit'... he is quite the sceamer here... so very relatable."
As he was busy calculating and comprehending the situation, suddenly he saw an ape. And his eyes turned red.
His face twisted into a cold smile. His hands clenched, he gritted his teeth and said, " Hehe... so, you really are from this group, huh?
Good! Good!! Very good!!!"
It was the same ape, that drove him to the brink of death that day. The ape who hurled him into the valley. For an instant, Han Sen wanted to break the skull of the ape with one attack. But, he still took a deep breath and calmed himself.
" Huuuu!!! Control... Control!!! I will deal with you, later!"
After calming himself, he again focused his attention to the battle royal. Because, despite the fact that there were many Magic beast, there were only 4 who could launch an attack fatal to him. Except them, all the other were like chicken to him. He can crush them as he wish. But these 4 were a bit different. If not paid attention, this could be very fatal to him.
So, after making up his mind. He focused his attention entirely on the battlefield and the lotus. His entire future trajectory depends on this lotus. If he can get it, he might become a Dou Grandmaster within a day or two.
This truly can be a major breakthrough in his cultivation, which had been arranged by fate itself for him. He can't miss it.
With firm determination, he lay motionless on the tree, waiting for an once in a lifetime opportunity.
As he continued his waiting, half an hour passed in a blink of his eye. But, Han Sen didn't wavered. He can't back down, not after coming this far. This was not his style. He only knew one thing, either you take risk. Or you will always stuck into your comfort zone, waiting for your demise to hit you under your resentful gaze.
While Han Sen was waiting with next to no change in his emotions, he suddenly felt a pang of happiness.
The ape with his muscular build and powerful ice attribute, attacked on the fox. The fox was busy dealing with cheetah when this attack came unexpected. Soon, due to a small mistake, entire battle field became even more chaotic then before. Due to a small mishap. The entire battle field got deviated towards the ape.
All 4 of them went a bit far away from the lotus.
The moment this happened, Han Sen's eyes glowed with cold light. His feet pressed heavily against the tree. And he shot forward, towards the flower like an arow.
Swoosh*
From a big tree, in a complete darkness. While everyone was busy with there respective opponent, a blank shadow shot forward.
The black shadow was so fast, that almost no one could react. At least, no one among the Dou Master rank could. But, all the 4 Dou Grandmaster instant caught the wind.
All of them stopped there fighting in an instant. All 4 of there heads turned towards Han Sen with a vicious and murderous gaze.
But Han Sen was in no mood to stop, he increased his speed even further. He pushed himself to his fullest. Every time he moved. Small sparks of lighting were seen running throughout his legs, like some kind of snake.
He used his Dou Qi to his fullest to stimulate his legs to increase his speed.
But all 4 of the beasts weren't vegetarian. They haven't reached there out of nowhere. They have also forged themselves through countless battles.
The moment they sensed his momentum, they stopped there fighting. All of theme started accumulating huge amount of Dou Qi within their mouth. And with a tacit understanding, they launched there attacks simultaneously as if it was the most natural thing to do.
But from the moment of the attack, it looked as if they didn't even took Han Sen seriously, as the attack launched by them was the most basic form of use of Dou Qi.
And they weren't wrong, the gap between them was not small, it was gigantic.
Han Sen was a 9th star Dou Master and they were at least around 4th of 5th star Dou Grandmaster.
The gap was almost of 5 minor levels and one major level. This was truly a big gap. In novel, the reason why Xiao Yan could fight people of higher level than him was mainly because of his Flame Mantra and heavenly Flames.
But our character doesn't have any luxury. His only way of fighting against people of higher level is his Good foundation and his one and only death finger.
