Chapter 17 What's This Kid's Zodiac Sign?
Seeing that Jiang Xuan dodged his blow so easily, the masked man did not attack again. Instead, he stood still and looked at Jiang Xuan's ink-colored cloak again.

He said, "Really? Apart from now, you and I have only met briefly in our respective private rooms at the Green Lake Auction House. Why do you say that?"

Although the masked man was a little afraid of the mysterious man in the black cloak opposite him and the power behind him, he thought carefully that since the other party bought the bottle of muscle strengthening powder at such a high price, it meant that the person who took it was only a heavenly-level warrior.

If the man in front of him was looking for the Strengthening Muscle Powder for himself, with his strength at the sixth level of the Heavenly Rank, he would not be a threat to him; if the man in front of him was looking for the Strengthening Muscle Powder for someone else, and he went out alone without anyone accompanying him, he must be an insignificant person to the forces behind him.

No matter what the situation is, whether the man in front of him is a young master of a big family or a small figure working for others, since he has already attacked him, the feud is naturally formed.

With his style, he naturally wants to do things to the extreme.

Anyway, there was no one around and the man in the black cloak was unarmed without any weapons, so it shouldn't be difficult to capture him.

Thinking of this, the masked man had already made a decision on how to deal with the man in the ink-colored cloak in front of him.

"No matter who you are, as long as you give me that bottle of muscle-strengthening powder, I won't ask anything else and will let you go." As the masked man spoke, he moved towards the ink-black cloak at a speed that was hardly noticeable.

The masked man turned the blade in his hand and attacked Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan turned his head and dodged the masked man's attack easily. He said in a deep voice, "Not bad."

Seeing his attack missed, the masked man snorted coldly, "I underestimated you just now." Then, he swung the dagger in his hand and said, "That's good. This fight would be boring if it was too easy. Let's have some fun."

Jiang Xuan was about to speak when the masked man suddenly used a fierce footwork, moving left and right in a zigzag pattern and rushing towards Jiang Xuan. In an instant, he appeared beside Jiang Xuan, slashing the air with the short knife in his hand...

"It's getting much faster." Jiang Xuan thought to himself, but his body shape did not change. He held the masked man's right hand holding the knife with his left hand and stopped the dagger in the air.

"What a fast speed!" the masked man sighed and kicked Jiang Xuan with one foot.

Jiang Xuan took a step forward, released his left hand, and distanced himself from the masked man.

The masked man looked at Jiang Xuan, and a hint of hesitation was inevitable in his heart.

The man in front of him looked no more than twenty years old. After these two blows, he not only easily dodged his attacks, but also showed no sign of panic or hesitation.

The young man under the ink-black cloak actually made him feel a sense of inexplicable fear!

However, since the masked man dared to attack the young man in the black cloak who had just obtained the Strengthening Muscle Powder and who might have a powerful force behind him, he must have his own reliance. He was confident enough in this reliance that even if a peak Heavenly Rank warrior came here, he would still be kept here without a doubt!
Having made up his mind, the masked man no longer had any other concerns. He tightened his grip and was ready to attack with the knife again.

"Swish..."

Following the sound of footsteps, a scene that the masked man did not expect appeared: the man in the ink-colored cloak turned around and ran away.

This was beyond the masked man's expectations, and even gave rise to a hint of doubt: If the man in the ink-black cloak wanted to escape, why didn't he flee towards the Green Lake Auction House, but instead fled deep into the dense forest?
Watching the man in the dark cloak fleeing deep into the dense forest at breakneck speed, the masked man suddenly found himself amused. He hadn't expected this guy to be so clueless. In that light, his previous actions were merely bluffing, a false hope for escape. "You're quite fast, kid. Judging by your behavior at the auction, I thought you were someone truly enigmatic, but you're nothing more than a piece of shit."

The masked man followed the man in the ink-colored cloak, but found that the man was faster than himself. He tried his best to catch up, but could only ensure that he would not be left too far behind.

However, the masked man was not in a panic. He was able to chase after the enemy with peace of mind, so he must have a safe method.

"How dare you say that?" Jiang Xuan shouted without even turning his head.

The masked man's heart faltered, as if something had hit the mark. But he quickly regained his composure, thinking, "I'll see if you, a piece of shit, can escape from my grasp."

In just a moment, a huge black rock appeared in their sight. Jiang Xuan grinned, and in a flash, he slipped under the boulder.

The masked man stopped, panting, with his hands on his hips, and looked at the boulder. He leaned forward and asked, "What kind of person is this kid? How can he run so fast?"

I saw that the huge rock was about ten feet square, and there was a large space underneath it, like a cave, and the man in the ink-colored cloak went into it.

"Why are you doing this? Just hand over the muscle strengthening powder, and I'll let you go. I get the muscle strengthening powder, and you can survive. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

When the masked man saw the man in the black cloak crawling under the huge rock, he naturally did not dare to rush in to see what was going on. Instead, he provoked the other party from outside, hoping that the other party would come out of the cave on his own initiative.

However, there had been no movement in the cave beneath the boulder since the man entered. The masked man wasn't in a hurry, simply sitting cross-legged on the spot, waiting for his prey to appear.

"Whoosh!"

A silver spear broke through the air from under the boulder and flew towards the masked man at an extremely fast speed.

The masked man dodged to the side. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and in his panic he dodged, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

With one hand, the masked man quickly stood up and glanced behind him. He found that the silver spear was emitting a faint blue light and was deeply embedded in the big tree behind him.

Looking at the cave under the boulder again, a little black light appeared first, and then a man in a black cloak carrying a black spear on his back slowly walked out of the cave.

He looked at the masked man: "What? Fatty, are you still hiding?"

The masked man was stunned at first, then after a moment's thought, he let out a relieved laugh. "Haha, I was wondering why it looked so familiar. It turns out to be you." The masked man took off his mask, tossed it casually, and said, "Jiang...what's that?"

"Jiang Xuan, you have to remember this name!" Jiang Xuan took off his ink-black cloak and looked meaningfully at the man who had just taken off his mask. It was the fat man and the thin man who robbed him that day.

Jiang Xuan tapped his heel, and the black spear fell into his hand as usual. He thrust the spear forward and said coldly to the fat man, "Where is the luggage you stole that day? I'm afraid you won't have a chance to answer later!"
