Ouyang Zixin's move was not surprising, even the man seemed to feel it was expected.
What he did not anticipate was that Ouyang Zixin, as a noblewoman, would take action herself instead of letting her guards or maids do it. When was the last time a noblewoman from the Yuhai Continent took such an active role in hunting?
Nameless's task was to keep an eye on the Summoned Beast, preventing it from taking any underhanded actions, and hiding in the shadows made it much easier.
The man's Summoned Beast was engaged in a fierce battle with the Howling Twin-headed Serpent, exchanging sound waves in a mutual attack. Thanks to the man's assistance, they were not at a disadvantage and were even able to hold their ground against the Howling Twin-headed Serpent.
The guards watching from the sidelines couldn't help but be amazed; the young master truly had remarkable skills. It seemed the family had underestimated him by allowing him to act as the lady's bodyguard.
As Ouyang Zixin joined the fight, the Howling Twin-headed Serpent seemed to sense her presence and directed one of its heads toward her. However, instead of using sound wave attacks, it opted for a physical assault, as if it believed Ouyang Zixin could not withstand its direct attack.
With a swift movement, she dodged the Howling Twin-headed Serpent's strike. Ouyang Zixin knelt on one knee, her hands bracing in front of her, adopting a posture reminiscent of a leopard. Her eyes were fixed intently on the serpent head attacking her; from her observations, she deduced that the red tongue of the Howling Twin-headed Serpent was key to its sound wave attacks. The red tongue shimmered with an eerie glow in the night, occasionally revealing glimmers that resembled droplets in the air.
The man's Summoned Beast blocked the sound waves while his attacks entangled its tail. Now, Ouyang Zixin had two choices—either confront the serpent head-on or aim for its Seven Inches with a decisive strike.
Calculating quickly in her mind, as the Howling Twin-headed Serpent's attack approached, Ouyang Zixin made her decision. She pushed off with her hind legs and propelled herself forward, spinning just above the ground to narrowly evade the serpent head.
This maneuver drew applause from the guards watching nearby. However, when the man's cold gaze swept over them, they fell silent.
They dared not cheer; Liu Ying and Liu Lu were different. They were tending to the unconscious Baike while cheering for Ouyang Zixin.
The Howling Twin-headed Serpent was equally taken aback; its red tongue had clearly been close to that human woman—how could she slip past right under its nose?
At that moment, the man's Summoned Beast let out a roar toward Xiaoshen, seemingly exerting all its strength to unleash a sound wave attack. It was unclear how it managed this but it forced Xiaoshen back several feet.
This double setback infuriated the Howling Twin-headed Serpent; its hissing grew more intense as its eyes turned crimson. The enchanting red glow and flickering tongue formed a sinister harmony as both heads lifted high like poised venomous snakes silently observing their prey before striking decisively.
The man's Summoned Beast appeared inexperienced against serpents; having just forced it back with that strike, it seemed pleased and dismissed the raised heads of the Howling Twin-headed Serpent as signs of retreat.
However, Ouyang Zixin did not share this view. Having witnessed the most ferocious king cobra in her past life before it attacked—its seemingly motionless stance had left her deeply unsettled for a long time. Seeing similar movements from the Howling Twin-headed Serpent now put her on high alert against any sudden attacks.
The man had now circled behind the Howling Twin-headed Serpent, and his target seemed to be its Seven Inches.
A person and a Summoned Beast were facing off against the Howling Twin-headed Serpent, ready for an imminent clash.
"Hmm..."
At that moment, Baike stirred awake and let out a soft grunt.
That sound seemed to signal the start of the battle, and both Ouyang Zixin and the man moved simultaneously—
The man unleashed a Mysterious Energy towards the Seven Inches of the Howling Twin-headed Serpent. The sound of air being sliced was sharp and piercing; at the same time, Ouyang Zixin cursed under her breath and quickly rolled to the side, gathering Mysterious Energy beneath her feet to accelerate.
"Hmph." The man saw he was about to succeed, but noticed Ouyang Zixin was fleeing in a panic. He couldn't help but scoff; indeed, girls were not to be taken seriously.
However, before he could revel in his triumph for long, he realized that the Howling Twin-headed Serpent had somehow turned around, its snake head facing him directly, its intent to attack unmistakable. Alarmed, he hurriedly tried to dodge.
"Young Master, be careful—"
"Brother!"
The voices of the guards and Huan'er’s scream rang out simultaneously. Yet Baike, after assessing the situation, surprisingly remained silent, quietly observing the man's predicament as if anticipating something or watching with indifference.
Ning Zhiyuan's battle was nearing its end. Distracted by the screams, he failed to notice that the Bai Clan Guardian had seized an opportunity and was now approaching Baike.
Ouyang Zixin's escape route was opposite to Baike's direction. She saw what was happening here but it was too late; she hoped Liu Ying and Liu Lu could hold off the guard until A Three arrived.
After a quick glance, Ouyang Zixin shifted her focus back to the Howling Twin-headed Serpent. That earlier turn indicated that its attacks were strategic; indeed, the intelligence of a High-Level Mystic Beast should not be underestimated.
If she hadn't dodged quickly, she might have found herself in danger as well.
Blood streaked across the night sky, a splash of bright red falling to the ground. The man let out a muffled groan; he narrowly avoided a fatal blow, but his arm was still injured.
He had been careless!
The man's brows furrowed tightly, and with a single motion, the Summoned Beast that had been fiercely attacking the Howling Twin-headed Serpent disregarded its target and rushed back to its master.
Nameless.
—Master, do not worry.
Ouyang Zixin was concerned that the man would suddenly recall the Summoned Beast, leaving the sound wave attack for her. His actions now made her extremely uneasy.
"Hiss—"
To the Howling Twin-headed Serpent, the Summoned Beast was hardly worth mentioning. It had been a nuisance earlier, but now that it had retreated, the sound wave attack shot directly towards Ouyang Zixin.
"Brother, you're hurt. Are you okay?" Huan'er had been afraid of Xiaoshen, but seeing her brother injured made her forget her fears. She quickly pushed aside the guards surrounding her and stepped forward with concern.
The man's previously indifferent face softened slightly due to her worry. He gently patted her head with his uninjured hand and said, "Huan'er, don't worry. Brother is fine."
In just a moment of conversation, the sound wave attack from the Howling Twin-headed Serpent was already upon Ouyang Zixin, about to injure her. But then, inexplicably, the Summoned Beast vanished before the man's eyes.
In an instant, it appeared at… (to be continued.)
