Pretending To Be A Boss

```

The gathering of such auras in one place was actually quite common; in the domain of the Senluo, there were even disasters like the Nvwa Snake clan.

Thus, even though Lei Xiao sensed a powerful presence at a range of one hundred meters, it did not pay too much attention to it.

This was its safe distance; at this time, no other creature could encounter Lei Xiao within a hundred meters.

Hiding in a tree hole, resting, Lei Xiao never imagined that the environment around it had completely changed, and when that weak breath locked onto it, it didn't care.

Humans, in front of Lei Xiao, had almost no resistance, with absolute speed that had surpassed their reaction limit.

But this time, Lei Xiao miscalculated.

The joint attack by Tang Xian and Yuan Mist was almost a flawless, fatal ambush.

Poison fog permeated the forest; when Lei Xiao sensed the poison fog, it instantly became alert, its body surrounded by golden electricity, seemingly becoming ethereal. It could escape from the area of the poison fog in the moment it held its breath. But as it left the tree hole and saw the white-haired youth, another layer of the hunter's attack awaited it.

Faster than its actions was an absolute, dense darkness.

Lei Xiao was not simple either; on pure memory, it tried to break free.

No matter how strong that human was, he could absolutely not touch it from such a distance.

With this in mind, Lei Xiao began to move.

But while the human's speed couldn't keep up with it, his thoughts were quicker than Lei Xiao's.

Yuan Mist was indeed nervous, but did not neglect the critical moments.

Lei Xiao, like a bolt of lightning from the darkness, was supposed to escape the battlefield the next second, but the entire battlefield had now become a sealed area.

Telekinesis drove changes in the environment; this was the ultimate telekinesis of Yuan Mist, also demonstrated during the battle with Xi He, showing control far more powerful than just reversing objects.

The surrounding environment twisted into a sphere.

Tang was shocked by this scene, having never imagined that the usually more delicate than Xiao Jiu, Yuan Mist, possessed such terrifying power.

Tang Xian was very satisfied; if this child could be more confident, unlock the mental restraints on himself, his destructive power might not be on par with the disaster creatures, but his role on the battlefield would be second only to Tang.

Unless Lei Xiao could break through this "spherical cage" formed by the earth and countless general trees, no matter how fast it was, it was merely exerting itself in a small space.

And this space was shrinking, ever so smaller.

With no longer supporting a massive environment, Yuan Mist's abilities became even more precise.

Lei Xiao finally realized that it seemed unable to break out of this area, its eyes showing a fierce light, and in this moment, prepared to attack three targets.

The first target was Tang, who emanated a presence stronger than its own, which Lei Xiao quickly gave up on.

The second target was Tang Xian, whose bizarre poison and dark fog were emitted by this person, also giving Lei Xiao a sense of danger.

Eventually, Lei Xiao's attack was like a sharp slash! A flash of golden light, and it instantly arrived beside Yuan Mist!

Indeed, Yuan Mist didn't react in time, nor did his expression have the chance to change, because Lei Xiao was just too fast! But Tang Xian had accounted for this.

No matter how fast Lei Xiao was, in such a confined space, he could predict its behavior.

As soon as Lei Xiao had the intention to attack, Tang conveyed the message through his eyes to Tang. This was their combat strategy; considering Lei Xiao's speed was too fast, they even eliminated gestures in communication, simplifying everything to just eye contact.

Even though Tang was suggesting with his eyes when Lei Xiao seemed to have no intention of attacking Yuan Mist, Tang didn't have the slightest hesitation or doubt.

When Yuan Mist finally showed a terrified expression, as though death was near, Tang had already covered Yuan Mist.

Lei Xiao's claw, flashing with electricity, should have left a red trail on Yuan Mist's body, but instead, its strongest strike left no mark at all.

In Lei Xiao's moment of astonishment, Yuan Mist finally caught on; this preemptive defense made him feel an unprecedented peace of mind. It seemed everything was within Lord Tang Xian's calculations.

The next instant, Lei Xiao, having failed to make a hit, was ready to retreat, but the poison fog had already infiltrated its lungs long ago. This calamity-level boss creature, which had been unaffected by the poison multiple times, was finally affected unexpectedly this time.

Lei Xiao's legs... trembled.

Muscles softened.

The plague's poison had many effects—psychological confusion, inability to distinguish friend from foe, muscle softening, dizziness, weakness, and the like.

It seldom had an effect against Orange-tier creatures.

Even against calamity-level creatures, if they were large in size, it was difficult for the poison to take effect, but Lei Xiao was a speed-centric creature with other attributes significantly below calamity level.

The recent close combat had made it hard for Lei Xiao to hold its breath any longer.

The huge general trees, at this moment, were twisted into a chain by Yuan Mist's telekinesis, firmly locking Lei Xiao in place.

Electric light dimmed, and after struggling a few times, this calamity-level creature, one of the most difficult to capture, was captured by Tang Xian.

Once removed from Yuan Mist, Tang no longer appeared in human form.

He showed his crimson eyes and fierce demon horns, standing before Lei Xiao like an avenger.
