Hao Xuan used Demonic Steps with Infernal Rapture Level 2 which had been infused with lighting energy and created thunderous booms.

He ran straight into the man with his training sword drawn and hit him in the back with full force, knocking him out cold.

”Holy shit, is it me or does it get louder every time I use it?” mumbling, he picked up the mans body, called back Bai and ran in another direction.

About three minutes after he left, four hooded figures fell down from the sky. All of them absolutely massive with a height of more than 15 feet.

”Rookie!” screamed the one at the front of the group but was met with complete silence.

”You were right Sir, that was a technique,” said one of the men behind him pointing at the ground. There was a long black line burned into the ground itself from where Hao Xuan had used Demonic steps. The man furrowed his brow and walked up to it and bent down, picking up the charred earth he brought it up to his nose and smelled it.

”It was one guy. Careful, this technique probably has a lot of burst power. Split up, if you can't find him within 10 minutes then just come back. I will report back to the boss,” the biggest of the four said and got up. He bent down a little and with pure unadulterated power, shot up into the sky like a rocket. The ground under his feet exploded as if a cannon had hit it leaving behind a huge crater.

As soon as he was out of sight the other three looked at each and also shot out like bullets in different directions.

*Splash*

”Hey, wake the fuck up!” Hao Xuan punched the man in the face after throwing some water on him. The man woke up in a fluster but surprised Hao Xuan because instead of screaming he just looked at him.

”Hmm? You're not curious about my identity?” Hao Xuan asked with a half smile.

”Would you tell me if I asked?” the man asked in return as if looking at an idiot.

”Oh, good point. So, why were you chasing the caravan? Tell me and I will tie you up and leave you here. You will be able to escape in a few hours and we can forget this ever happened. Don't complicate things,” Hao Xuan said and sat down in front him.

The man didn't say anything but then suddenly his expression changed.

”I-I can't move. I can't feel my body!” he mumbled while looking down and saw that he was completely tied up but he should still be able to at least feel something.

”What did you do to me?!?” he asked, flustered but still trying to sound calm.
