Chapter 108: Playing Tricks (Part 2) (1/2)
As he ran, a ahead bush suddenly stirred and a startled black rabbit jumped out from the bush. Ye Wuchen removed the cloth that covered his wound which was almost entirely soaked red with blood. He rubbed a hand slowly against the wound and in an instant, the bloodstains had completely disappeared, leaving no traces.
Although the rabbit was fast, it was still incomparable to Ye Wuchen’s speed. Before long, Ye Wuchen had easily overtaken the rabbit and quickly wrapped the blood soaked cloth around its neck. He let it go and the rabbit suddenly fled.
He put a foot forward, light as a feather, on a tree branch, then another foot. He then leapt up to a cluster of branches up high, with his eyes half shut he quickly made to regain some of his power. Under the cover of dense branches and leaves, any one beneath would not be able to discover a man hiding above it unless it was examined carefully.
After a few seconds, Tao BaiBai’s figure quickly swept past like wind. The direction he headed seemed to be the direction where the rabbit had escaped to.
Soon enough, a howl of anger echoed. Ye Wuchen’s mouth turned up in a smile. If he were to find himself risking his life chasing after a rabbit, he supposed he would also roar madly three times.
A whoosh sounded below and a white shadow swept past below him again, following the original direction he had been heading before. Ye Wuchen did not use the opportunity to leave and stayed with his eyes still shut, recuperating and restoring his powers. After a few breaths, Tao BaiBai snapped back, then went in a radius to make a few rounds. Afterwhich, he used his fastest speed to rush all the way back.
Ye Wuchen jumped from the tree then, coldly laughing at the direction where Tao BaiBai had left and unhurriedly headed deeper into the Black Forest.
Tao BaiBai quickly exited the Black Forest, and proceeded straight to Tian Long City. The feeling of being repeatedly tricked caused his rage to madly spark in his innermost being, giving hime the desire to dismember the body of his target a thousand times.
That Ye Wuchen must have used the rabbit to lead him to further into the forest, then hid himself in the dark, before he took the opportunity to return to Tian Long City to seek help. Based on his opinion, escaping to Tian Long City to seek help was Ye Wuchen’s only chance to live. When he slashed the man’s neck, it was to show Ye Wuchen how weak his power of protection was. It appeared that Ye Wuchen’s other powers did not match the calibre of his speed.
After a minute of not seeing Ye Wuchen, he ran into the four women whose eyes were full of vitality; their entire bodies grand and heroic. When they saw Tao BaiBai, their hearts simultaneously stopped. Could it be that Ye Wuchen was already…
They made no signals yet with mutual understanding, they circled Tao BaiBai. Feng pulled out her sword and yelled, “Tao BaiBai, what have you done to Master Ye?”
When Tao BaiBai heard the words, his face became dark and he quickly turned to dash back to the direction of the Black Forest. His speed was so fast that the four women had no hope of catching up and they only clenched their teeth as they quickly gave chase.
When he was in Tian Long City he already become aware of being followed by four women, so they had obviously come from the direction of the Tian Long City. If they were asked that question, it meant that they did not see Ye Wuchen. Which in turn meant that… Ye Wuchen had not gone back to Tian Long City, and was still inside the Black Forest.
A belly full of anger made him nearly go mad with rage.
Furious and finally back in the Black Forest, he followed the path he had taken before and proceeded further. Almost indistinct, he smelled the fragrant flavor of meat.
After few turns, he was back at the spot where he caught the rabbit. What he saw there almost made him throw up blood as his footsteps suddenly stopped short.
That rabbit he had stabbed to death in anger had disappeared and only the pelt remained. Ye Wuchen was sitting on some tree, soundly eating delicious rabbit leg, uncaring of his presence. He could see rabbit bones littered everywhere around his feet.
Ye Wuchen bit into another large piece of meat and threw the bone away. Eyes seeping as if theyonly now noticed him. “Mister Tao BaiBai, running back and forth must have tired you out. Come! Come! This rabbit meat is nice, you want a piece? Look, I’ve especially reserved this hind piece for you.”
Swish!
A short blade launched from Tao BaiBai’s hand like a shooting star, its point lodged deeply into the spot on the tree where Ye Wuchen had been leaning on. Ye Wuchen had unhurriedly avoided the blade but was able to escape without a scratch. Tao BaiBai dashed towards him, taking out a short blade and charging without pause. This time, he would not let him escape again.
By now, Wuchen had almost fully regained his power so he lead Tao BaiBai circling around the Black Forest. He then switched directions towards the Devil’s Trap Pagoda, to which Tao BaiBai strictly followed out of anger and with no sign of giving up.
