Chapter 3651 Huge Difference
No one came to their rescue after waiting for a long time in the darkness. Suddenly, Eusof frowned. For some reason, he felt a bad premonition in the pit of his stomach.
“Are they not here yet?” he mumbled. Floyd found it odd, too. After all, the base was not too far away. It would take only an hour for Forlevia and the others to arrive on foot.
Why am I not sensing their aura yet?
“They should be here soon,” Floyd said uncertainly.
The moment he finished, a mocking voice rang out.
“Master Eusof, you’ve been hiding really well. It took me ages to find you!”
Xylas?
Floyd’s and Eusof’s hearts sank.
That voice could not be more familiar to them.
Why is he here?
Before Floyd could even ponder more on it, he felt a wave of foreign aura approaching them in all directions.
“Run!” Eusof yelled.
That was the only thought that came to his mind.
Eusof had witnessed Xylas’ powers before. There was no way he could defeat the latter with his current cultivation level.
Though Floyd was relatively strong, he was still too weak compared to Xylas.
“It’s too late to run now. You’re utterly surrounded. There’s no way you can escape.” Xylas’ voice sounded nearer, and there was a hint of sarcasm in it.
“Xylas, why are you here?” Floyd questioned.
He decided to show himself instead of avoiding the other party.
Currently, he had an unprecedented level of confidence. He strongly believed he could fight Xylas after all the energy he devoured.
On top of that, he was sure that backup would be arriving soon.
Once Floyd combined forces with the army, they would be able to fight against Xylas. Even if they could not kill him, they would be able to make him retreat.
Clearly, Xylas had seen through Floyd’s plan. Smirking, he asked, “Floyd, don’t you find your way of stalling time a little… cheap? Anyway, I think you can give up waiting for backup. Their hands are currently full. I’m afraid they don’t have the time to help you guys. All right. Let’s cut the cr*p and fight. I’d like to see how much you’ve improved this time.”
Xylas’ disrespectful words were a stab to Floyd’s pride.
“What did you do to the base?” Floyd asked as panic rose in his heart.
The thought of Forlevia and the others taking forever to come made Floyd realize they could be attacked by the Glorian Order.
Xylas sneered, “You should worry about yourself. We’ve been hiding near the base for some time, only waiting for Master Eusof to fall into the trap. Well, it looks like my patience has finally paid off.”
Eusof’s expression fell.
“Young man, we might have a chance of surviving if we join forces,” Eusof said grimly.
He could not be bothered to think about useless things like their identity and pride, apart from securing their own lives.
However, Xylas was not the slightest bit fearful. Instead, he seemed rather excited. “That’s right. It’s best for both of you to join forces. Otherwise, it won’t be challenging enough.”
How dare he? How dare he mock us?
Floyd’s blood boiled. Saying nothing in response, he lunged forward and threw a punch at Xylas’ head.
“Interesting!” Xylas sneered, looking as if he had no intentions of dodging the attack. With that, he charged toward Floyd with the same attack.
Boom!
A deafening bang rang in everyone’s ears like a thunderclap.
Then, waves of powerful energy from the collision spread out across the woods and caused many nearby trees to shatter into pieces.
Whoosh!
Floyd’s body flew out as if he had knocked into a high-speed train.
At the same time, blood sputtered out of his body.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
It took several collisions with trees of different sizes to force Floyd to come to a stop.
“Is he really that strong?” Floyd uttered under his breath, feeling shocked to the core.
Floyd had put in his all for the first attack. However, not only did Xylas neutralize it, but he also caused the former to fly out and suffer internal injuries.
Meanwhile, Eusof had attacked by ambushing Xylas from the back.
