Chapter 362 (1/2)

Right now, almost half a day had pa.s.sed. Justice was well aware that the path Ling Tian currently took was surrounded by mountain ranges and greenery, and that within the next few hundred miles, there was no trace of humans at all. This sort of environment was greatly advantageous to his opponent, because the moment he did not pay proper attention, he would immediately lose his prey. He could only urge himself to go at full speed forward.

Having pa.s.sed the foot of a mountain, Justice suddenly had a strange thought. With the narrow valley right in front of him, and the surrounding high mountain peaks, the entire area looked as though it had been sliced apart by a single hack from a giant! There was only a narrow path a few feet wide, and flanking it were cliffs that were so smooth, they literally shone in the light. This could be considered the best place to ambush a troop of soldiers! Right now, his surroundings suddenly seemed eerily quiet, without the slightest bit of movement!

If Ling Tian were to set an ambush here…

Justice took in a sharp breath at the thought. Could there be the possibility that, even though Ling Tian fully knew that he had angered Justice, he would rather not run for his life and stay to ambush him?

Instead of escaping, to choose a hidden spot to hide and attempt to kill me, what arrogance! With just Ling Tian himself, even if he could plan out an ambush, what danger did he pose alone?

Justice let out an involuntary laugh, it seemed like he really had some fear towards that little kid!

He shook his head and laughed lightly as he activated his movement technique and shot deep into the valley...

Standing at the mountain peak, Ling Tian also let out a smile, before slas.h.i.+ng down with his sword!

Bang!

With the rope made of twisted tree bark almost as thick as a grown man's thigh being slashed apart, rumbling noises could be heard as a few boulders started to roll downwards into the ravine...

Justice immediately cursed.

That brat is too devious!

Gazing at the boulders rolling down at the moment, Justice calculated that with his current speed, he would not be able to make it across without getting his head squished. What precise calculations from the opposing party!

While Justice believed that Ling Tian would not go wrong in his calculations, there would still be human errors! Halting his steps, he stopped himself forcefully in midair, and landed onto the ground. Justice coldly smirked as he thought,

Just a few boulders and you want to obstruct my path? I'll just wait for the boulders to stop dropping then I'll take my time to go across!

Just as the thought appeared, the sound of a piercing wind could be heard on his right, and turning that way, he got the shock of his life! A huge boulder weighing many tons was hurtling towards his head, with dead-on accuracy!

On looking higher, at the top of a certain peak, there was a small human silhouette lifting up yet another stone and throwing it down like hail, that was Ling Tian! His delighted voice traveled down, ”Old Brother Justice, you haven't eaten yet, right? This young n.o.ble here is gifting you with some meat buns! However, they're a little bit tough to bite, so I hope your teeth are strong!”

Justice might have been a magnanimous and easygoing person, but even he was about to go mad from Ling Tian's schemes. He hatefully shouted, ”Ling Tian! Other than such devious tricks, what else can you do?!”

Ling Tian laughed at the statement, and lifted up another boulder, aiming and throwing it down with his full strength. He shouted in reply, ”I can't do anything else, but to be able to throw stones at the number one expert, the Martial Order Medallion owner, hahaha, I'm happy enough!”

Justice let out a long howl in anger and threw himself up into the rain of stones. Throwing out a hand, the boulder in front of him immediately disintegrated into powder, slowly scattering down like snow! Twisting his body, he allowed a boulder to brush past his body, before stepping on it and propelling himself farther upward! Just like an arrow, he shot up straight towards the peak where Ling Tian was.

Ling Tian nearly jumped out of his skin, and immediately threw down the rest of the boulders that he had prepared, but all of them only served to further propel Justice upward towards him. Upon seeing Justice shoot towards him like a shooting star descending onto earth, Ling Tian threw out the last boulder straight at him, then turned to flee.

”You still want to run?!” Justice already had a belly full of fire, so how could he allow Ling Tian to just slip past his hands? He did not even attempt to land, instead kicking the mountain face to propel himself even quicker towards that annoying brat!

Ling Tian gasped in dismay, and could only revolve his internal energy to the maximum, his feet barely touching the ground as he increased his current speed by 100%!

Seeing how obviously Ling Tian was overexerting himself, a cruel smile appeared in Justice's mouth as he thought,

Little brat, no matter how fast you run, you can't compare to my internal energy which I spent tens of years acc.u.mulating! If you harm your vital energy because of exertion, then you won't even have the chance to face off with me in battle!

A hint of pity surfaced in Justice, because while Ling Tian had repeatedly tricked and scammed him, in the end… he was still the only person who would even have a chance to catch up to his prowess!

Aii, Heaven makes fools of Man. What a pity!

Even as he was engrossed in his thoughts, Justice's speed did not show any signs of slowing down. The two of them flew around the mountains like a pair of shooting stars, the distance between both of them closing… closing up...
