Chapter 52: Standoff

'Well… At least I'm not the Monkey in the Middle anymore.'

Aksai thought to himself and smiled wryly as he turned around to face Lian. One had to say that he was trying his best to be a half-glass-full kinda guy as much as he could.

Aksai's earlier position had been really awkward. No matter what he did or didn't do, he would have been bombarded by attacks coming from two directions eventually.

At least he had solved that issue by only having to face Lian. After his recent displacement, Haisha's team would have to go through Lian's group if they really wanted to hunt Aksai for his resources.

Even though Aksai had saved himself from a potential pincer attack, he did not take it easy. He really wanted to run away from this about-to-get-messy fight because it had too many variables.

Aksai wanted to test out his body cultivation powers on the late-stage Spirit cultivators. However, this was clearly not the right situation to experiment for him.
