Chapter 181 – Mind Compass (2/2)
The golden energy surge swept the woods. It turnedtrees into logs and dirt into a thick screen of smoke. All of a sudden, the beautiful nature became a wasteland as if it was stampeded by a pack of king grade wild beasts.
Lu Qianying harshly exhaled and carefully took a scroll from his inside pocket. His eyes twitched regretfully.
The whole scroll was dark. There was a subtle pulsing glow, synchronized with its slow but pressuring aura.
The scroll containing an earth stance was the most valuable possession Lu Qianying carried with him. It was given to him as a gift by the Lu Patriarch when he broke through to become a returned prime Warrior. It contained the Mind Compass stance.
Although the stance was not aggressive at all, its unique function gave it an unmatchable value.
Considering one of the victims was the head elder’s grandson, he could possibly be facing capital punishment if he did not capture the person responsible for this outrage.
Lu Qianying ground his teeth. He opened the scroll and tore it swiftly.
“Zoom! Zoom!”
A long rune sequence appeared in the sky. There was a touch of gold to its vivid hue. It kept stretching and eventually covered a hundred miles radius around Lu Xianying.
“Whizz!”
The runes shrank quickly into Lu Qianying’s head. He was suddenly able to see in his mind the life energy of all creatures within a hundred miles. While his Qi energy became undetectable.
“I will catch you this time, you little bastard!” Lu Qianying muttered. He quickly located Ye Wei through the image in his mind. With a heavy stomp, he became a shadow. This shadow zoomed towards Ye Wei like an arrow whizzing through air; nothing stopped him pursuing his target now.
Ye Wei was over thirty miles away from Lu Qianying. He was not aware of the danger he was in.
‘This is a warning. North Hill Bay is the Ye’s land, and the Drakehead is therefore the Ye’s property!’ He was proud of his secret mission. ‘This is not enough, though. I have to kill as many of them as I can. The more time they have to rethink their strategy the better.’
‘There are only three teams left. I should be able to finish them.’ Ye Wei was constantly calculating the best execution for his next move. ‘It’s good that cousin Zhong did not follow, less to worry about when I strike.’
With his extraordinary soul sensitivity, Ye Wei stalked the Lu’s like an opportunistic predator who waited for the best window to strike.
Ye Wei was heading back into the mountain range, avoiding the wild beasts, ‘My revenge has just begun! I will kill every last one of you, one at a time. I will look into your eyes before I crush your hearts!’ He sat next to a tall rock. He took a pill and began to use the Falling Star form.
The Supernova stance was taking a toll on Ye Wei. His Qi was drained and his body was exhausted. He was desperate to recover quickly, so he could finish what he started earlier.
Ye Wei expanded his detection range as he recharged his will-force, but he could not sense Lu Qianying’s incoming.He focused on recuperating rather than being on guard since he already left the dangerous scene.
Ye Wei had his eyes closed. The setting sun warmed his cheeks. He was relaxing and resting in the quiet wilderness for the first time after more than half a day of running.
Less than half a minute after he sat down, he felt a strange chilling breeze. He opened his eyes.
“Crack! Crack!”
The breeze intensified; the trees around Ye Wei began to bend towards him.
“Shit! How did I not feel any of this?!” Ye Wei’s face changed. He stood up and quickly grabbed the iron talisman from his belt.
“Bang!”
A pressuring presence froze Ye Wei in place. A chubby figure appeared right in front of him.
The elder’s hair was fluttering in the wind. The runes under his feet were condensed into small golden clouds after each step he took, thus leaving a trail of golden mist behind him.
There was no primal feathers behind Lu Qianying’s back. The returned prime was levitating by his own power; his mastery over natural primal energy.
“Any last words?” Lu Qianying stared furiously down onto Ye Wei. His demeaning gaze intimidated and startled the unsuspecting Ye Wei.
