When the martial artist came back to his senses, he raised his broadsword high and slashed at the wild cat, cursing. "Sh*t! How dare a cat attack me! You deserve to die!"
He was determined to kill it in one blow.
However, something unexpected happened when the broadsword hit the claws of the wild cat. To his horror, the rigid alloy sword was sliced off by the wild cat with a snarl.
Under his astonished gaze, its sharp claws charged at the martial artist's neck.
The martial artist was shocked, his eyes widening. There was no time left to respond. He could only stare at the wild cat coming towards him, and he was about to scream in fear.
At this critical moment, a thick branch flew through the air with a "whoosh". It hit the wild cat at the final second, and the enormous force pushed the wild cat away, nailing it to a big tree.
The wild cat yowled as it struggled frantically with its claws, desperately trying to cut through the branch. Within a few seconds, it managed to claw away half of the tree branch. Finally, it released its final breath and hung limply on the tree, motionless.
"The animals here are abnormal. Be careful, all of you. Stay alert," Fade reminded everyone.
Everyone returned to their senses at this moment. Fade was the one who flung the branch at the cat earlier. Suddenly, many of the rogue martial artists saw him in a whole new light.
After the incident, their view of him began to change even more significantly.
That wild cat at the beginning could only be considered a warm-up for their expedition. After that, various types of animals emerged and pounced from left and right, such as wild dogs, black bears and wild boars. Even gentler animals like rabbits and chickens went berserk and attempted to attack them aggressively.
After witnessing the ferocity of the wild cat earlier, everyone did not dare to be careless or let their guard down at that point. They used all they had to fend off the invasions.
Yet, no matter how cautious they were, their strength was limited after all. They were still able to face small animals like rabbits and chickens, but they struggled to go against the aggressive black bears and wild boars that were twice their size.
These lunatic beasts held terrifying strength, almost as strong as a late stage of the Black Level martial artist. Although they were huge, they were always abnormally nimble and quick. The martial artists could smell their stink before they could see them. As they battled, some of the martial artists were also worn out, which weakened their defense.
For a time, a lot of them fell into a dangerous situation, barely inches away from death.
However, at every critical moment, Fade would act like a savior that descended from the Heavens and saved their lives with seconds to spare.
The wild boars and black bears, which were difficult for them to deal with, all failed to resist his attack.
After half an hour of intense battle, the forest finally quietened down again. Everyone was panting as their energy was significantly consumed. They were drenched with animal blood and their own sweat, even some tears.
Only Fade's clothes were spotlessly clean, as if he had just entered the forest.
Finally, everyone had witnessed his powerful abilities with their own eyes. A handful of them even got their lives back thanks to him. Contrary to before, they were now filled with gratitude, astonishment, and respect towards him.
Some of the martial artists who were straightforward, now directly went up and apologized to him.
"Mr. Chen, I thought you were not good enough before. I was blind and wrong. In future, I will do whatever you want me to."
"Thank you for saving me, Mr. Chen. I acted sarcastically towards you before. I should slap my own mouth!"
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I spoke without thinking yesterday. I was too stupid. You are the real master!"
Fade laughed and waved his hand, saying, "All of you don't have to do this. We are all here to investigate the case, so we are partners. It's good to clear the air. Next, let's take action together!"
