On the way to meet up with the Fire clone, Long Xuan unexpectedly picked up an excellent spirit insect, which was a pleasant surprise.


    Long Xuan couldn''t help but marvel at his good luck, smiling all the way.


    However, he did not rx his vignce. In this dangerous area, where a herd of beasts could rush in at any moment, how could he afford to let his guard down?


    From time to time, he used the Eye of Heavenly secret, to look into the distance and observe the position of the nearest beast herd to avoid them in time.


    However, the Eye of Heavenly secret''s ability consumed mental power, so he couldn''t keep it active continuously.


    As he passed by a giant tree, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.


    The tree was very tall, enough to conceal many things. He clearly saw some movement behind the tree.


    Human bodies are generally the same size, and judging by the width and height of the figure, it was highly likely to be a person, which made him narrow his eyes and be alert.


    "Who''s there? Come out! I already saw you!" Long Xuan shouted towards the back of the tree.Lei guang, who was hiding behind the tree, was stunned and looked bewildered. How on earth did this person discover him? The tree was huge, and he had hidden well.


    To be cautious, he used the Color-changing Gu to change his body color to blend with the tree trunk. Logically, it should have been impossible for Long Xuan to find him.


    This was really strange.


    Relying on his speed, he had overtaken Long Xuan early and set up an ambush ahead of his path, nning tounch a surprise attack for a fatal blow as he passed by.


    Who would have thought his disguise would be seen through so easily, making him very displeased and embarrassed.


    Since he had been discovered, there was no need to keep hiding. He could only step out from behind the tree.


    "Kid, you have good eyes. You’re the first to see through my disguise. Not bad for a genius from the Great Region."


    "But I, Lei guang, have always loved killing geniuses and never feared their backgrounds."


    "You don’t need to tell me your name or background. I don’t want to know, and I’m not interested. No matter how powerful your background is, you’re going to die today!"


    Lei guang looked at Long Xuan with bloodthirsty eyes and said fiercely.


    Hearing this, Long Xuan fell into thought.


    From the words of the neer, he deduced a lot of information.


    Since this person inexplicably suspected he was a genius from the Great Region, it couldn''t be baseless. He must have seen Long Xuan''s earlier disy of zing me Palm.


    This meant that this person was nearby during the battle. Despite being at the battlefield, he didn’t help, didn’t save anyone, and instead hid for a long time without being noticed.


    Even though they were on the same side, there was no need for him to hide so thoroughly if he wasn''t going to help.


    His actions were so againstmon sense that Long Xuan had to suspect that the two beast herds were lured here by him.


    He felt that his guess was almost right. Otherwise, why would this person follow him and look at him with such hatred?


    If the situation was indeed as he guessed, then this matter definitely wouldn’t end well today.


    With his wisdom, Long Xuan quickly deduced the situation to arge extent.


    Just as Long Xuan was contemting, Lei guang saw that he didn’t respond immediately, so he stopped talking and charged directly. Lightning shed under his feet, and he appeared in front of Long Xuan in an instant.


    "So fast!" Long Xuan’s expression changed slightly. Since the opponent was too close, it wasn’t convenient for him to use zing me Palm; otherwise, he might harm himself. He could only use the Life-Destruction Palm to counterattack.


    A small green light appeared in his palm, and he struck towards Lei guang with both hands.


    However, Lei guang had just been hiding behind a boulder, clearly seeing the power of this palm technique.


    Even the defensively abnormal Beast King died silently under this palm technique, so how could he dare to take it head-on?


    Even though he was at the peak of Spirit Gathering, a level higher than Long Xuan, he didn’t n to confront him head-on. He avoided Long Xuan''s attack and punched his chest with a fist shing with lightning.


    Long Xuan only felt lightning shing under this person''s feet, his speed extremely fast, easily dodging all his attacks. Caught off guard, Long Xuan took a punch to the chest.


    Long Xuan was shocked. This was a speed-type opponent, extremely good at speed, capable of dodging all his attacks while it was hard for him to avoid his. It made sense; a person who could lure a flock of eagles couldn''t be slow.


    His face darkened. Speed was his weakness at the moment.


    Although he had the Ten Absolute Body and the spiritual techniques he developed were extraordinarily powerful, it was useless if he couldn’t hit the opponent.


    Instead, because of his slow speed, he kept taking punches. However, thanks to the presence of the Little Strong Gu, it was impossible for him to be seriously injured by just a few punches.


    But every time he was hit by the Thunder Fist, the electric current would paralyze his body, making him very ufortable.


    "Haha! You’re too slow! My Lei n’s peak-grade Gu insect, the Thunder sh Gu, grants me lightning-fast speed. Even the eagles can’t catch up to me. How can you fight me?"


    "Although your spiritual techniques are powerful, only I can hit you, not the other way around. Today, you are destined to lose, destined to die by my hands!"


    Lei guang sneered, and his fist heavily struck Long Xuan’s chest again. At the same time, the electric current from his fist surged into Long Xuan’s body.


    However, seeing Long Xuan still lively as if his attack was just a massage, Lei guang’s face darkened. He felt humiliated and his expression became increasingly grim.


    At this moment, he also realized the insufficiency of his attack power. He swore that next time he would refine an attack-type Gu insect for ambushing geniuses.


    Speed alone was useless if he couldn’t break through the opponent’s defenses.


    "Haha! Not bad for a genius from the Great Region. Your shell is really tough."


    "But even water can cut through stone. I want to see how many punches your shell can take."


    Lei guang roared, his fist covered with lightning, shing dazzling lightning, and crackling sounds. He attacked Long Xuan again.


    Long Xuan’s expression became solemn. This opponent was different from the previous ones, much stronger than those random cultivators.


    Even Feng Wu was far less troublesome than this person. He already suspected that this person’s background was not simple and would not be easy to deal with.


    This also quelled his impulse to use Little White. Logically, Little White’s slow field could significantly restrict his speed, making it the perfect counter to this opponent.


    But in this critical moment, he was exceptionally calm. Neither side had revealed their external Gu yet. Whoever exposed their trump card first would be at a disadvantage.


    If he used Little White first, it would break the current bnce, prompting his opponent to use his external Gu as well.


    This opponent had likely done this kind of thing many times, indicating his wealth. Wealth meant he likely had more than one peak-grade Gu insect.


    Who knew how many Gu insects were in his insect bag? A genius from arge n definitely wouldn’t have just one external Gu, that was certain.


    If he released Little White and forced his opponent to release several troublesome Gu insects, the situation could worsen.


    Little White might not be able to handle so many Gu insects, leading to an even worse crisis.


    Therefore, even if he had to endure passive beating, Long Xuan absolutely did not n to be the first to use external Gu.


    Unbeknownst to him, Lei guang was thinking the same. He didn’t dare to use his external Gu because of his many apprehensions.


    The person in front of him was obviously a genius from a great region, and his trump cards and Gu insects were unknown. He hadn’t exposed any Gu insects yet, making them a significant concern.


    A genius from a great region wouldn’t have weak Gu insects or few of them.


    He feared that if he used his external Gu first, he would force this genius to use his as well.


    Who knew what abilities and strengths the external Gu from the outside territories had? The variables were too great.


    If using his external Gu caused the opponent to release stronger and more numerous Gu insects, he would be in trouble, potentially breaking his current advantage and putting himself in a passive situation, or even in danger.


    So he didn’t dare to use the peak-grade Gu insects in his worm pouch. Instead, he mirrored the opponent’s strategy, engaging in closebat.


    However, this situation was clearly unfavorable for Long Xuan. He used his intelligence to quickly find a way to break the stalemate.


    People with big imagination generally have high IQs, and he soon thought of a way to deal with it.


    He grabbed two healing pills and threw them into his mouth, swallowing one and hiding the other under his tongue for emergencies.


    If an urgent situation arose and he had no time to retrieve a healing pill from his storage pouch, the pill under his tongue would be his lifeline.


    After taking a breath, he ran wildly in one direction.


    Seeing his opponent almost injured by his attacks, Lei guang saw him instantly recover, feeling a surge of frustration.


    "Running? Where are you running? Even with a hundred healing pills, you’re destined to die today!"


    "You can’t escape my speed. I’ll see who oust who first!"


    Lei Guang grabbed a spiritual pill from the storage bag and threw it into his mouth. The consumed spiritual power immediately returned slowly, and then lightning shed under his feet, and he quickly chased after Long Xuan.


    "You can''t do it after just fighting for a while? You still need to take drugs, are you a little weak? Is your body not okay?" Long Xuan turned around and mocked.


    "You are looking for death!" Lei Guang waspletely enraged by this sentence, his eyes were zing, and he rushed towards Long Xuan with anger.


    Long Xuan fought with him while retreating. It seemed that he was running randomly, but in fact he was deliberately leading the battlefield to a certain direction. After approaching a certain position, he suddenly roared without warning, and the sound was so loud that it scared Lei Guang.


    Meanwhile, in a distant area, the ears of the wolf king of a wolf pack suddenly twitched. Its fierce gaze immediately focused in a particr direction. After howling once, it led its pack of hundreds towards that direction at full speed.


    The hearing of spirit beasts is extraordinarily keen. Even though the wolf pack was far from the twobatants, Long Xuan’s howl was enough for the wolf king to notice.


    Lei Guang had not yet reacted to what was happening and waspletely confused by Long Xuan’s sudden howl.


    It wasn’t long before a pack of hundreds of wolves stormed into the battlefield andunched a ferocious attack on both of them. Lei Guang’s face turned pale as he finally understood the purpose of that howl.


    "Are you crazy? Bringing the wolves here, you won''t escape either! If you want to die, don''t drag me down with you!" Lei Guang cursed in rage.


    This was a pack of hundreds of wolves. No matter how much of a genius he was, he couldn''t single-handedly take on hundreds of wolves. In just a short moment, he was already in grave danger, getting hit by several wolf ws.


    At this moment, he finally experienced the taste of being besieged by spirit beasts, experiencing a taste of his own medicine.


    Seeing Lei Guang quickly sustain injuries under the wolves’ attack, Long Xuan sneered coldly, just as he had anticipated.


    Through their brief encounter, he had already noticed that Thunder sh Gu was fast, but it was adept at straight-line movement, fast in speed but not in agility.


    In theplex battlefield environment requiring dodges from attacks from all directions, Thunder sh Gu’s speed was useless.


    Where could he charge with his straight-line speed? Whichever way he rushed, he would run straight into the wolf pack.


    Without the advantage of straight-line speed andcking agility, Lei Guang couldn’t avoid the wolves’ multi-directional attacks and constantly got wounded, looking utterly miserable.


    Long Xuan’s situation was entirely different. Not to mention his Little Strong Gu, which could withstand hits, he deftly handled the wolves'' attacks without getting touched.


    Every wolf lunging at him could be effortlessly dodged with minimal movement, not a single wolf managing to touch his clothes, forming a stark contrast with Lei Guang’s dire situation.


    Moreover, while dodging the wolves, he asionally attacked Lei Guang.


    Lei Guang had to deal with both the wolves'' attacks and Long Xuan’s, feeling immensely irritated.


    Despite being a genius, he was now overwhelmed, fending off attacks from all sides, including from Long Xuan, resulting in several wounds on his back.


    However, Lei Guang, being the strongest genius of the Lei family, managed to kill wolves amidst the chaos. His lightning-imbued fists killed a wolf with each strike, leaving a trail of wolf corpses.


    But with increasing injuries and no way to break free, being overwhelmed was just a matter of time, especially with a lurking wolf king.


    Lei Guang turned his hate-filled gaze towards Long Xuan, noticing that he was effortlessly dodging the wolves, not getting touched at all. Lei Guang felt an urge to vomit blood.


    "You forced me to this!"


    Lei Guang roared, smashing a white wolf’s head, then quickly throwing all his Gu insects at Long Xuan.


    Seeing arge purple toad shing with lightning flying toward him, Long Xuan was startled and quickly ran.


    The purple toad was about to pursue but got ambushed from the side by the wolf king, which bit its neck and violently shook it.


    Meanwhile, the other Gu insects released by Lei Guang were intercepted by the wolves.


    The wolf pack attacked indiscriminately, biting any Gu insect they saw.


    Thus, Lei Guang''s Gu insects, not even touching Long Xuan, suffered heavy losses to the wolves.


    Lei Guang''s eyes turned red, feeling heartbroken. He knew how much resources and effort he had invested in cultivating those Gu insects.


    Especially seeing his prized Thunder Purple Gold Toad, a powerful Gu insect capable of releasing destructive lightning attacks, being mauled by the wolf king, he was devastated.


    "Whoa! This precious Gu insect died so tragically! Whose valuable Gu insect is this? Why didn’t they take better care of it?"


    Even at this moment, Long Xuan couldn’t help but taunt, looking delighted at Lei Guang’s misfortune, his expression infuriatingly smug.
