1017 Weird Chase and Flee (1/2)
Two black figures flitted across the vast sky, like a meteor catching up with the moon. In a blink of an eye, they entered the dense forest outside the mountain!
When the other numerous pursuers caught up, they had already lost sight of where the two were headed…
When Cao Guo Feng and the rest arrived here, looking at this lush and dense greenery, he couldn't help but sigh and spit out a mouthful of blood. From the battle earlier, an attack had caught him by surprise and caused him to suffer an internal injury. Then, he forcefully endured the attacks that were raining down, which caused injuries upon injury…
He had managed to endure it until getting here. But finally, he could no longer suppress the injury and it completely exploded!
The might of a Saint Venerable was definitely no small matter!
Amidst the crowd of people that had arrived later, an elder donned in green walked out from the crowd and asked, ”What exactly is going on?”
The one speaking was the Manor Lord of the Misty Illusory Manor, Miao Jing Yun.
Bai Qi Feng held back his cough and recounted the entire situation in detail. ”Thank goodness for Manor Lord's arrangements in advance; otherwise, if it were merely the seven of us brothers alone, tonight would have been a disaster.”
Miao Jing Yun was stunned. A look of confusion was on his face. ”But I did not arrange for anyone…”
The moment this sentence was said, the faces of Cao Guo Feng and the rest instantly changed!
The Manor Lord would definitely not lie, especially at a time like this. Then… who was that man in black?
”Give chase! No matter what! We must catch that black robed man who attacked earlier! This old man also wishes to see who it is, which family is it to be this bold! To send a Saint Venerable to harm a child!” Miao Jing Yun ordered in anger. At the same time, his piercing gaze from the corner of his eyes landed on the Patriarch of the Zhan Family, Zhan Wu Yun, who had just arrived. The warning look in his eyes caused Zhan Wu Yun to tremble with fear…
Miao Jing Yun may be stunned by what Bai Qi Feng said, but he was someone who had vast experience and was quick and decisive. On his command, the tens of Misty Illusory Manor experts who came to help entered the dense forest and began to search!
These people had the minimum strength of a fourth level Saint. Most of them were Saint Emperors. There were also Saint Venerables too. Since they could confirm from what Cao Guo Feng and the rest that the attacker was a Saint Venerable, if there was someone who wouldn't be a match, then they would just be asking for their asses to get kicked…
Jun Mo Xie had been travelling at full speed, but his killing intent was still oozing out.
The killing intent was strong, but Jun Mo Xie was in no rush to strike back. After all, the person chasing him was a Saint Venerable. His powers were shocking and way above himself. It was no easy feat if Jun Mo Xie intended to kill him. Rashly launching a counter attack would not accomplish anything!
So Young Master Jun had to bear with it until he found a suitable, ideal location, and timing to strike. Killing this audacious fellow in a single strike!
Speaking of this Saint Venerable behind himself, Young Master Jun confirmed that he had never seen him before. When he was at Zhan Family, the two who had surrounded him were also Saint Venerable experts, but they were unlike this person! But Jun Mo Xie could confirm that this person definitely came from the Zhan Family. And was someone who held a significant position in the Zhan Family!
It had only been a day. The Zhan Family had already deployed someone this important to deal with him. The hatred and anger the Zhan Family had towards him was implacable! And they could no longer wait!
You don't intend to let me live peacefully? Our stance is clear. And it seems that I've only ruined your secret base; it wasn't much of a kick. For the sake of letting the people around me and myself live peacefully, I can only make the Zhan Family experience another huge earthquake! You can die on your own; I'm not joining you! I've learned this logic from a young age!
In front, there was a high mountain and the forest was dense and thick!
Jun Mo Xie charged right into it!
Zhan Xiao Xiao had been battling his entire life; how could he turn timid because of a mere dense forest? From his earlier observation, this mysterious expert who brought away the Free and Natural Physique did have profound strength, but there was still a disparity compared to himself. So he had no fear at all; naturally, he followed right in as well!
With a whoosh, the two of them instantly vanished within this dense forest with merely a distance of twenty zhang between them.
Right now, it was the beginning of summer. The entire place was thick with lush foliage. A person could completely vanish from sight the moment he entered this place—you wouldn't even be able to see his head. What's more, when it was night time right now?
Zhan Xiao Xiao had high Xuan cultivation, so he was able to see things in the dark as if it were in the day. Coupled with his omnipresent strong spiritual sense, he was confident that he would be unconcerned about this hindrance. But the moment he entered the deeper parts of the forest, he instantly detected something amiss.
From the chasing process, he could clearly confirm that the mysterious expert was really not more powerful than himself. But his tactics and methods were unusually sly!
He definitely was not comparable to Zhan Xiao Xiao in terms of speed. But the way he went about escaping was extremely odd! Under most circumstances, he was stronger than the opponent. In the process of giving chase, he just needed to deliver a couple of strikes through the air. Even if he couldn't kill him on the spot, it would definitely be able to delay him.
But this person had been running in a peculiar, s-shape manner! His position was constantly changing and confusing, and even Zhan Xiao Xiao's immense spiritual sense couldn't lock on his location! Especially when it came to turning corners—he would suddenly increase in his speed…
Before making the turn, Zhan Xiao Xiao could clearly close the gap to about ten zhang. He only needed to work a little harder and he'd catch up. But after they've made the turn, Zhan Xiao Xiao would notice that the distance between them had increased by another eighty zhang, and this phenomenon had recurred several times…
This is really unusually odd!
Now they had both entered the forest, this weird feeling was even more distinct.
This mysterious expert was not alone—he was still carrying the boy with the Free and Natural Physique! How did he suddenly vanish without a trace! As if he were a drop of water that fell into the ocean and completely disappeared!
How is that possible?
The moment one entered a forest this lush and dense, to someone who was proficient at tracking, there should be all sorts of traces left! But this fellow before him did not even touch a single blade of grass!
