Chapter 335 - Leaving the Divine Storm Palace (2/2)

”Shit, how are they so fast?”

Lu Tianzi's level of perception had always been superior to others who were at his cultivation level. The moment these people gave chase, Lu Tianzi was able to lock onto each and everyone of them in return.

”One, two, three... twenty-two of them...” Lu Tianzi furrowed his brows.

Twenty-two Origin Core realm martial artists!

The number of pursuers was far more than he had expected.

Fortunately, all of them were only at the First or Second Origin Cycle. This made things far more manageable.

Lu Tianzi did not hesitate, directly dashing across the open space towards a group of tents that had been set up not far away from the city.

This group of tents was a small community of its own that existed solely because of the ridiculously high standards that Divine Storm City imposed on its residents.

According to Bocheng, this group of tents was the residential area for those who were either unable to enter the city, or those who could not afford the exorbitant rental prices within.

”What's going on?”

Many of the people staying in the tents caught sight of the twenty-four figures who were rapidly approaching.

”Looks like trouble. Quick, stay inside!” some seniors instructed their juniors to hide upon sensing the tension in the air.

The moment Lu Tianzi and Nanlan Qianxue reached the group of tents, they immediately split up, weaving in between the tents in a bid to lose their pursuers.

Their pursuers sneered in response.

Yes, the group of tents was messy and uncoordinated, making it such that there were countless blindspots that would be ideal for losing any pursuers.

However, they were all Origin Core realm martial artists!

Once they had locked onto their targets, how could anyone hide from their perceptions?

Or so, they thought.

But they were proven wrong at the very next moment.

”Where did the girl go?”

”Find her!”

”There's no way! It's like she just disappeared into thin air!”

”Damn it, there's no other choice. Let's just follow the guy!”

The twenty-two of them might serve different masters, but they understood that they all had the same goal. Therefore, they had already communicated beforehand, splitting into two groups that were supposed to pursue Lu Tianzi and Nanlan Qianxue respectively.

But now, their plan had been thrown into complete disarray.

Once they lost sight of Nanlan Qianxue, even searching with their perception was useless.

There was simply no way to find her!

With no other way around it, the two group could only join up and continue chasing after Lu Tianzi. After all, he was their main target from the start.

However, even that plan was not going to work.

With a sudden burst of speed, Lu Tianzi charged out of the group of tents, rapidly creating distance between them as he headed towards the north.

The pursuers immediately gave chase, but there was simply no way for them to keep up.

The distance between them only continued to increase, until Lu Tianzi completely escaped from the range of their perceptions!

”What?!” the pursuers was caught completely by surprise.

They continued searching towards the north for a while longer, but finally gave up one by one.

There was no use.

Even after they split up and searched in the north for an hour, they could not find even the faintest shadow of Lu Tianzi.

”Tch! Slippery bastard!”

”Let's go back and report the matter.”

For lack of a better plan, the pursuers could only give up and return to the Divine Storm City.

Alternatively, they could have split up further and combed the cities to the north, but none of them wanted to take the chance.

After all, their opponent was someone who could defeat Chengban, a martial artist at the Fifth Cycle Origin Core realm.

If they were to encounter the other party alone, it was not difficult to imagine the fate that awaited them!

***

A good distance away, Lu Tianzi cancelled his beastial bloodline transformation when he noticed that the pursuers had finally given up.

His perception had always been far stronger than his peers. By remaining at a certain distance, Lu Tianzi was able to keep track of the pursuers' movements without revealing himself.

To do so, however, Lu Tianzi had to first create a huge distance between him and his pursuers.

Lu Tianzi might have his Flowing River Silent Strides, but it was only good for increasing his speed on the ground.

Faced with Origin Core realm pursuers who could easily fly across any obstacles, that alone was simply not enough for him to get away.

Therefore, Lu Tianzi had no choice but to activate his beastial bloodline transformation, using his powerful left wing to create a burst of speed far beyond what his pursuers were able to achieve.

In actuality, Lu Tianzi was not afraid of facing all twenty-two of them at once.

However, this could lead to a situation where he had to get rid of them all, and that was not something that he wanted to do.

He might have offended the Divine Storm Sect's Dongquan Juewei at the wedding, but Lu Tianzi did not want to create the same kind of enmity with the First Disciple's various subordinates.

If he were to kill all his pursuers, that would only give the other party more reason to go after him.

Rather than that, he would rather take the chance and hope that as a titan of an influence that the Divine Storm Sect was, they would be busy enough to forget about him soon enough.

After all, he did not actually injure or hurt any of their people, save for their pride.

Surely that was not enough to warrant mobilising their forces to seach for him?

Lu Tianzi took deep breaths to recover from his breathlessness, his body aching from the strain of his beastial bloodline transformation.

This beastial bloodline transformation had always been his trump card, but it seemed like his body was still unable to handle the physical strain.

The more he used it, the more Lu Tianzi was worried that it could cause some internal trauma to his body.

He let out a deep sigh.

In order to reduce the number of times he had to activate his beastial bloodline transformation, he really had to start working on improving his combat and movement techniques as soon as possible!
