42 The Hunter Becomes the Hunted (1/2)

Di Yi was the oldest yet he was the weakest from the five brothers with a cultivation at the ninth level of the Qi Foundation Establishment Realm.

For several days Di Yi and his brothers have been trying to track down their target, Long Lao Er. They've been hired by a Senior Elder from Dragon City to find and assassinate Long Lao Er.

According to the information they had; Long Lao Er was a young cultivator at the fifth level of the Qi Foundation Establishment Realm so in theory, their formation would be more than enough to complete the job.

After many days of searching, the five brothers were able to find their target at the Death Range Mountains but when they found Long Lao Er, out of nowhere he had suddenly vanished, leaving no trace at all.

So the brothers split and Do Yi went south to look for Long Lao Er.

Two hours later after they split; Di Yi managed to find a track. There were some human footprints on the mud that lead the track towards the darkest part of the forest. It was a place where the foliage totally covered the light from the sun.

Di Yi tooka step into this dark place, unknown to him a small ripple of Qi essence was emitted the moment he entered.

Everything was a dark and Di Yi could barely see anything and even his own spiritual sense had been cut short from hundreds of meters into less than ten meters so he was obviously nervous as he couldn't even feel Qi essence from the nature.

When suddenly a figure of a young man appeared in front laughing at him.

”Hee, hee!”

Though normally a laugh wouldn't fright him for some reason he felt afraid of the creepy laugh, so Di Yi threw his Meteor Hammer dharma treasure at the figure but when he taught he had hit it, the figure had vanished.

Suddenly two figures appeared and again Di Yi threw his Meteor Hammer towards both figures and they both disappeared.

Three figures appeared and Di Yi repeated, four figures then appeared, five, ..., ten,..., twenty and after much attacking; hundred of figures had appeared.

At this point Di Yi was totally frighten as he noticed that he couldn't circulate Qi essence from his body, nor could he absorb any Qi essence from the nature any more, so he could only throw his Meteor Hammer with no result.

”Come out and fight me you coward!!”
