The Martial Saint of the Defiled World

Chapter 45. The Source of Calamity

The man in black has come in!

Jiang Shaosheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly hid behind a row of shelves, keeping his breath down and his eyes closed.

He heard the footsteps of the man in black stop briefly at the warehouse door.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps began to move inside.

What should I do?

Jiang Shaosheng squinted as he thought.

He definitely can't win in a direct confrontation; in his current state, the opponent could crush him with a single finger.

The only option is to hide.

Although the warehouse is large, it is ultimately an enclosed space.

If you keep hiding like this, you'll be found sooner or later.

Cold sweat trickled down my back.

Just then, another roar from the monster came from outside the warehouse.

Then the huge, bulky figure squeezed in through the hole.

As soon as the monster entered, it lunged towards the doorway where the light and sound were coming from.

The man in black clearly hadn't expected the monster to follow him in. He cursed under his breath and immediately dodged away.

For a moment, a cat-and-mouse game was playing out in the warehouse once again.

This time, however, the venue was moved to a narrower and more complex environment.

The shelves were knocked askew, and wooden crates and sacks were scattered all over the ground.

The monster was hot on their heels, while the man in black fled in disarray ahead.

Jiang Shaosheng, hiding in the shadows, watched this scene and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Drive away the tiger to devour the wolf!

The current situation, on the contrary, presents an opportunity for him.

He can use this monster to deal with the man in black!

With this in mind, Jiang Shaosheng stopped passively hiding and began to carefully observe the terrain of the warehouse and the movements of the two guys.

The man in black was indeed skilled; even in this cluttered environment, his movements remained agile and swift, narrowly avoiding the monster's attacks and venom several times.

But Jiang Shaosheng also realized that his space for maneuver was inevitably being squeezed.

This warehouse is like a giant maze, with dead ends everywhere.

Although the man in black can hide for now, he will eventually be forced into a corner with no way out.

Jiang Shaosheng moved quietly; what he needed to do was speed up the process.

He found a piece of broken wood, aimed at the direction the man in black was about to flee, and threw the wood forcefully in that direction.

The wooden plank struck a tin box with a crisp sound.

Upon hearing the sound, the monster that was in pursuit immediately changed direction and pounced towards the source of the sound, blocking the man in black's path.

The man in black's expression changed, and he had no choice but to stop and turn to run in another direction.

"Kid, I'll remember you!"

The man in black's angry voice rang out in the darkness, filled with resentment.

Jiang Shaosheng completely ignored him.

Stop arguing, let's focus on surviving first before talking about anything else!

He was like a hunter lurking in the shadows, constantly using sound and terrain to create trouble for the men in black and guide the monster's attack direction.

The man in black was suffering terribly because of him.

He was like a monkey being led by the nose by a monkey trainer, being chased by a monster in the warehouse with nowhere to run or escape.

Several times, he was nearly splashed with the monster's venom, which gave him a fright.

"Come out if you dare! What kind of skill is it to hide in the shadows!"

The man in black dodged awkwardly while shouting angrily.

Jiang Shaosheng sneered inwardly.

Come out with you?

Am I out of my mind?

Instead of going out, he played even more enthusiastically.

He discovered that although the monster was ferocious, it seemed to be not very intelligent and basically acted on instinct, rushing towards wherever there was movement.

This gave him a great deal of room to maneuver.

The man in black had clearly noticed this as well, and he began to try to remain silent, hoping that the monster would attack Jiang Shaosheng, who was making the noise.

But Jiang Shaosheng was more cunning than him.

After throwing something to make a commotion, Jiang Shaosheng would immediately move to another place and would never stay in one spot.

After a while, the man in black not only failed to shift the blame onto Jiang Shaosheng, but also nearly fell into his trap several times due to his distraction.

The monster roared again, seemingly enraged by its slippery prey, and its attacks became increasingly ferocious.

It swung its sharp claws and swept a row of shelves to their ground.

The goods on top fell down with a crash, nearly burying the man in black underneath.

The man in black rolled away lazily, his clothes covered in dust.

He now hates Jiang Shaosheng to the core.

If looks could kill, Jiang Shaosheng would probably be dead hundreds of times over by now.

He vowed that if he caught that kid, he would skin him alive and make him suffer the most excruciating torment in the world.

Jiang Shaosheng had no idea what he was thinking.

He found a perfect spot.

It was a dead end made up of three huge crates stacked together, with only one narrow entrance.

Once the man in black is cornered, he'll be trapped.

Jiang Shaosheng began to consciously guide the monster's direction, gradually leading the man in black into that dead end.

The man in black didn't realize it at first, but by the time he found himself being forced into an increasingly narrow passage, it was too late.

Behind him came a roaring monster.

Before him lay a mountain of shipping containers.

He was blocked.

"Kid! You're asking for it!"

The man in black let out a desperate roar.

Jiang Shaosheng hid in the darkness in the distance, feeling a surge of exhilaration.

Weren't you just yelling that you were going to mess with me?

Now they're in a panic.

However, just when he thought the man in black was doomed, something unexpected happened.

Faced with the monster's deadly pounce, the man in black actually advanced instead of retreating.

He took a deep breath, and his bones crackled and popped.

His aura suddenly surged in that instant.

"You beast, do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

He roared and charged straight at the monster.

His speed was so fast that he was right in front of the monster just before its claws fell.

Instead of attacking the monster's seemingly hard body, he slapped one of its legs.

That palm strike, seemingly light and effortless, produced a dull, resounding thud when it landed on the monster's leg.

The monster's body jolted violently, and the leg that had been hit bent inwards in a bizarre way, clearly indicating that the bone had been broken.

The monster let out a painful howl, its massive body lost its balance, and fell to one side.

Jiang Shaosheng was dumbfounded.

Does this work?

He never expected that this man in black could unleash such terrifying fighting power even in dire straits.

The man in black struck successfully but did not linger in the fight.

Taking advantage of the moment the monster fell, he swayed and slipped out of the passage.

He's out!

Jiang Shaosheng's heart sank, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the first thing the man in black did after escaping was to look in the direction where he had been hiding.

Those eyes, in the darkness, gleamed with a ghostly green light, like a wolf's.

"I've found you."
