Chapter 309: Stab Wounds

The powerful aura it emitted made people shudder. Kate and the others remained calm as they stood beside Audrey, but their hearts were still trembling.

“That’s it. Everyone, be careful.” Audrey nodded, her eyes never leaving Taotie.

Taotie was huge, as tall as two or three people. Everyone looked up at it. Its limbs were also very fast and fat as if it could send people flying with a single palm strike.

The Taotie roared again as if blaming the others for intruding into its territory.

The forest was already filled with panic.

Not far away.

The mysterious man easily sensed this strange aura. His eyes immediately darkened as he said, “The Taotie has appeared.”

“Where is it?” Xavier and Daisy still looked puzzled.

The mysterious man coldly glanced at the two of them. Without any further explanation, he directly brought the two of them and teleported to the vicinity of Audrey and the others.

“It’s Taotie!” Daisy’s eyes lit up. When she saw the fierce look in Taotie’s eyes, she felt a little afraid and did not dare to go forward.

“Why are they here as well?” Klein sounded a little nervous.

Now, with Taotie, Daisy, and the others, would it not be more difficult to deal with them.

Audrey did not know how the mysterious man found this place, but based on her understanding of the mysterious man, it was not strange for him to find this place. The mysterious man always caught people by surprise.

Since they had already met, they could only be more careful.

Audrey gripped her sword tightly. All the pores on her body stood up as if she was ready to fight.

Just like Audrey and the others, the mysterious man did not want to face two opponents at the same time. Soon, Xavier spoke, “You guys, if you know what’s good for you, hurry up and leave.”

Leave?

Audrey was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the other party’s target was not them but Taotie?

But why would the Carol Association want a monster beast?

Audrey did not understand, but she definitely would not leave.

“I should be the one telling you this. It’s best to leave quickly. Otherwise, when we fight with Taotie later, we might accidentally hurt you.” Cole snorted coldly, his tone disdainful.

In his opinion, no matter what, his aura could not be lost.

“Ha! You’re overestimating yourself!” The mysterious man snorted disdainfully. He glanced at Cole with contempt, and then released a sharp combat aura from his hand, heading straight for Cole.

Fortunately, Audrey was quick-witted. She released an energy ball and blocked it.

“I didn’t expect that the people from the Carol Association were actually people who carried out sneak attacks.” Audrey’s eyes were slightly cold and sarcastic.

She did not know who the mysterious man was from the Carol Association. However, to be able to have such abilities and even hide in the Templar Knights, he must have a high position to come to this place privately.

Only people who entered the Knights Legion could enter the mission area. Unfortunately, Daisy and the others were only from the Templar Knights, so it was impossible for them to enter.

Unless the mysterious man had used some unorthodox method.

After thinking through all this, Audrey understood that the other party had come here not for her but for Taotie. She did not know what Taotie was beneficial for them.

The mysterious man did not pay much attention to Audrey’s words. Instead, he just glanced at her coldly and directly attacked.

“Ice break!” Audrey hurriedly brandished her long sword to block the man’s attack.

If they were to fight head-on, she might not defeat the mysterious man, so she could only take advantage of the situation.

A crafty look flashed across Audrey’s eyes. In the next second, she had already flashed behind the man and struck out with her palm. The mysterious man’s reaction was also swift. Before Audrey had even touched him, he had already turned around.

Seeing that Audrey was about to attack, he hurriedly blocked her attack.

“I didn’t expect that your perception ability is quite strong.” Audrey snorted coldly, the corners of her mouth curling into a disdainful smile.

In terms of perception and speed, she would not lose to anyone.

Audrey flashed quickly, appearing behind the man, then left, then right.

Although each of her attacks was not very strong, gradually, the mysterious man was a little tired, and his patience was slowly running out.

“Is this all you know?” The mysterious man spoke, trying to provoke Audrey.

Audrey had long been mentally prepared and was extremely calm. “It’s a good move to be able to defeat you.”

Her voice sounded, but she could not determine her position. The mysterious man’s eyes were already dyed with a layer of anger. He quickly attacked, but he only missed.

“Audrey!” The mysterious man angrily rebuked.

It’s about time!

Audrey gave a playful smile and dodged at her fastest speed. She constantly changed her position around the man. The man also attacked furiously, but he did not manage to hit her.

In the end, Audrey suddenly stopped above the mysterious man, and the mysterious man was still attacking his surroundings. So this was Audrey’s sudden attack.

“Extermination slash!” A powerful combat aura wrapped around the longsword and stabbed directly at the man’s shoulder.

The man reacted, but it was too late. The longsword had sunk into his shoulder and was bleeding. Audrey pulled out her sword, but there was no blood on the blade.

Daisy and Xavier noticed that the mysterious man was injured, so they hurriedly stopped fighting and rushed over. They shouted worriedly, “Boss!”

“Let’s go.” But, under the mask, their eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness.

Audrey could not have let the three of them go. After a big battle, she might have been able to kill the three of them directly. However, it was too risky. The mysterious man was powerful. She had only injured him by luck.

Moreover, Taoties was waiting for them to deal with.
