The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 945: Monarch’s Footwork!

Monarch's Footwork! . . .

Cha Eun Xiao found himself in a challenging situation. He was indeed a level below the four Saint Sunlight Sect disciples, but he was far from an ordinary cultivator. In the midst of a life-and-death confrontation, he had a variety of resources at his disposal, and it was not as difficult as they might have presumed for him to prevail against the four opponents.

Curiously, the four men suddenly seemed to notice Cha Eun Xiao's presence. Their gazes briefly flitted to him, their expressions laced with disdain before they continued to focus on Han Bingxue.

The one who had initially spotted Shadowless Assassin spoke derisively, "You? Who do you think you are?"

His tone held a hint of amusement as he had witnessed the severe injuries inflicted upon Han Bingxue during his escape. Seeing that level of injury would naturally lead anyone to believe that Shadowless Assassin was gravely wounded, with no chance of turning the tables. Furthermore, the Scorching Palm Strike had struck deep, promising to torment him further.

In their minds, he was a defeated foe, incapable of resisting them. Thus, the emergence of a young man, seemingly intent on saving the day, appeared rather foolish. Their perspective suggested that Cha Eun Xiao was saying, "You can go ahead and fight me instead of Shadowless Assassin."

For them, it felt as if this newcomer was inviting them to overcome his lifeless body. It was a classic sign of a martial world rookie who had yet to fully comprehend the cruel reality of their world.

Han Bingxue, meanwhile, had his doubts. Was Cha Eun Xiao deliberately displaying weakness to catch the enemy off guard? But it seemed a bit too obvious.

As they questioned Cha Eun Xiao's sanity, he retorted loudly, "I am the boss in my family!"

His declaration elicited amusement from the four Saint Sunlight Sect disciples. In their minds, Cha Eun Xiao was a peculiar character they had never encountered before. The fact that he was their enemy did not prevent them from finding his antics amusing.

While they would typically take pleasure in observing him longer, the pressing matter at hand beckoned their attention.

One of them grinned and remarked, "After we're done with you, we might pay a visit to your family. They'll be surprised to learn that their 'boss' is an associate of criminals. You're quite lucky!"

Another of the four grew impatient, urging, "Leader, let's not waste more time. Regardless of how entertaining that foolish young man may be, he's irrelevant to our mission. We need to act quickly before someone else intervenes and seizes the reward."

Their leader assumed a solemn expression and concurred, "Indeed, let's proceed. Take down this young man along with Shadowless Assassin!"

The Saint Sunlight Sect disciple who had been spurred by their leader became increasingly excited. With an air of ferocity, he lunged towards Cha Eun Xiao, his hand thrusting upwards. A fiery surge of heat materialized from the sky, crackling with an intent to incapacitate rather than kill. His goal was to capture Cha Eun Xiao alive.

Witnessing this, Shadowless Assassin raised his hands in preparation to shield against the impending assault. He remained a level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator with keen eyes. He had recognized Cha Eun Xiao's frailty long before the four men did. Cha Eun Xiao was ill-equipped to confront Dao Origin Stage cultivators, particularly four of them simultaneously. Whether or not Shadowless Assassin was in fighting condition, he would never stand idly by while a young man faced harm or death.

However, just as Shadowless Assassin was poised to intervene, he was struck dumb by a remarkable sight. His eyes widened, nearly bulging from their sockets, and his mouth gaped in astonishment. The sight he beheld was nothing short of astounding, causing him to break into a sweat.

Before him stood Cha Eun Xiao, an entity resembling a deity. His garments appeared to float ethereally around him. Cha Eun Xiao effortlessly swayed left, right, advanced with a single stride, and ultimately shifted beyond the range of the Saint Sunlight Sect man's attack. The sheer mastery of this display left Shadowless Assassin incredulous.

Cha Eun Xiao was merely at the seventh level of Dream Origin Stage, and yet he exhibited such nonchalance while evading the strikes of a Dao Origin Stage opponent. Han Bingxue, well-versed in the intricacies of cultivation, recognized the feat's extraordinary difficulty. Cha Eun Xiao seamlessly sidestepped the assault, breaking the relentless torrent of the attack, as if strolling through a garden.

This astounding feat left Han Bingxue shocked and bewildered, prompting him to sense a faint familiarity with Cha Eun Xiao's footwork.

The other three Saint Sunlight Sect disciples, not to mention Han Bingxue, were rendered stunned and confused by Cha Eun Xiao's actions.

The assailant, driven to frustration by his inability to harm Cha Eun Xiao, grew increasingly despondent. His attacks intensified, unleashing torrents of energy across the entire area in a desperate bid to land a blow on his agile foe.

Yet Cha Eun Xiao continued his seemingly nonchalant dance of evasion. With every step and movement, he displayed a serene smile as if engaged in a leisurely stroll. To all observers, the furious barrage of attacks seemed as inconsequential as a drizzle that couldn't even dampen his sleeve.

Cha Eun Xiao's movements were grace personified, exuding an air of royalty. His footwork possessed a unique quality that distinguished him, drawing awe and admiration from those who bore witness.
