Chapter 84: The Ambush (1/2)

Sam looked around. He noticed some presence but he wasn't able to pin point what it is. He tried to ignore it and move on and just when he took a step forward.

*Swoosh* an arrow flew over and almost hit him on his face. Sam dodged it narrowly and immediately took out the Golden Crescent and turned on the bow mode. He aimed the bow as he nocked the arrow, in the direction the arrow came.

Just as he was about to release the arrow, he sensed some danger. He immediately shot the arrow and ducked.

*Swoosh*

A spear flew over the place where his head was before when he was in standing position. The spear pierced through the tree in a distance away from him.

Before he could make sense of the situation, a fire ball came from behind. Sam did his best to dodge and then he was in a situation where he has to dodge continuously.

All type of spells, and cold weapons flew over to him. Sam shot some arrows in retaliation and one of them actually stuck a person.

”AHHHHHHHHHH..” He heard a scream from a spot and he locked the position. He took out arrows one after another and shot at the same spot.

”AHHHHH…” He heard another scream, and by the end of the scream it became less and quite as if the person has fainted. And this made all the attacks stopped.

Sam stood there with the golden crescent in his hands and looked around. His face is calm and collected. Until now, from the attacks he dodged, he knew that there are a lot of people who are attacking. If not for his survival instinct and his cultivation of spirit and soul, he wouldn't have been able to dodge them at all.

The things he deduced from the ambush are that, they are more than 10 people, more than half of them have higher cultivation than him, they aren't experienced in this. But there is one thing he wants to know. Who?

Who is the one making a move on him and what motive they had? He went through the people who might have motives. Some names popped up.

Might be someone from black water.

Eisen's family.

Jessie's father.

Even though he has some other enemies, he has some closure with those disputes.

Then he thought of the possibilities of being one of the three making this attack.

Black water, the lack of experience and expertise in the ambush isn't something people from black water will have. The Black water is the biggest underground organisation and they will at least have some expertise in doing ambush. So, they can be eliminated.

Jessie's father, that man might not want to offend Maya again with this action and if this failed it would be counted as more than an offence. There is a very small chance and it is almost negligible.

Eisen's family, they don't have enough power to mobilize this many people in Falcon Cliff city.

This made him even more confused as he can't think of any enemies, he made who will attack in this situation.

All these thoughts went through his mind in a few seconds. Then he heard a voice from a distance.

”No wonder, you got the first rank. You have some skills.” The voice was filled with confidence and superiority.

Sam didn't reply. He is looking for the voice. He could sense that he is around, but the other party was almost out of his range. He could only faintly sense the other party's location.

He turned towards that direction and nocked an arrow. But this arrow is a ranked arrow. Even though it is only rank one arrow, it will still hurt. Sam started concentrating and the arrow immediately glowed with golden light. At the tip of the arrow there is a golden fire ball forming.

Before the other party could, react, Sam shot the arrow. A golden ray flashed through the air. The arrow missed the target but the other party got caught in the blast.

”You have balls. But do you think that you can get past us now. You are surrounded by twenty people and all of us have higher cultivation than you. Let us see who will win.” The same voice came but this time it is a little bit trembling and shaky.

As soon as the other party finished saying, Sam felt many people running towards him. Before he knew it, there are almost ten people with all sorts of cold weapons and at the same time the ranged spells are coming.

Sam immediately became tensed. There are all attacks coming from all sides. Sam stored away the golden crescent and took out his claws. Even though these claws are temporary, the material of the claws are of the Golden Blood tiger.

He immediately ran towards the city. There is almost no possibility of winning, so he thought of an idea. Sam immediately ran towards the City.

And the warriors who are coming towards him happened to be on the same direction. Sam took his attack poster, he showed the claws towards them like a tiger, he pounced towards the group.

When he landed, he immediately caught one person's leg and tore away a piece of flesh.

”AHHHHH…” The guy immediately screamed. Sam didn't stop and got on his all fours. He looked at the team like a beast. He is after all, fully pissed off. But Sam, didn't have any hopes of winning and he knew it. He just healed himself but he is not his top condition and even if he was in his top shape, he would have very minute chance of escaping without much damage.

And now, he has to deal with this bunch.

Even the group was stunned. They didn't expect that this person would take this kind of posture and they immediately got confused.

Sam looked at a guy who is a little bit separated from the group and pounced on him like any beast would do. The other guy isn't prepared and swung his sabre at him.

Sam dodged it and twisted his body in the air. He used his dexterity and agility to its maximum and when he landed on the guy, he locked the other guy's hip and swung his arms. He tore through the arm and his claws dug in that person's chest.

But the other person who is obviously stronger than Sam, kicked him away and tried to stand up. The deep claw on the chest started bleeding profusely.

Sam landed on his fours again and looked at the group. The other guys came out of stupor and looked at him in a weird way. They are confused and surprised at the same time. They never saw anyone move in this way.

Just when they were about to attack, Sam swung his claws in the air and wind blades flew towards them.

With that attack, Sam decisively turned around and started running, but the run is a little bit weird because, he is running on his all fours. He is running like a cheetah.

Even though he can attack them with other elements and attacks, his main aim isn't fighting them but to escape into the city. He needs to attract the attention of the city guards. From the past incident the city guards are really on high alert.

Sam ran very fast when he is on all fours. This is a type of movement technique he made himself in his past life. Even though it will help him move faster it will consume his stamina heavily.

When Sam was a distance away from entering the core of the region, a fire ball came and hit him squarely on his back. Even though the attack was mostly reduced by his coat, it disrupted his rhythm and slipped. He rolled over the ground and laid down. Then before he knew it, a sword came and made a slash on his chest.

Sam gritted his teeth in pain and contracted his chest muscles to sustain the blood loss. But he didn't scream. He just looked at the guys who are nearing him with hatred and coldness.

When he tried to pick himself up, a water sphere hit him on the chest where the sword slash was. The bleeding increased.

Next the barrage of attacks came as tried to move. But none of the attacks are fatal. The cold weapons, weren't able to make a damage through the feather coat and they concentrated their attacks on his chest and legs.
