One hour later...
As Ye Xiao was walking deeper and deeper, he suddenly sensed something. He didn't think twice before leaning sideways.
"Whoosh!"
An instant later, reflected in his eyes was the scene of a blinding flash of reddish black light missing him by a hairsbreadth, passing by him and striking a tree. Struck by a terrifying arrow, the towering tree was turned to dust immediately. It was quite a ridiculous sight.
"Who is it? Show yourself!" Ye Xiao emotionlessly said in his deep and calm voice.
The next instant, clapping noises were heard. Ye Xiao turned his eyes to the source of the noise. He saw a man leaning on a tree in a light-hearted manner. This man's upper body was bare, only his lower body was wrapped by some sort of black cloth that seemed more like pieces of armor for his leg.
