The feeling of being peeked at was uncomfortable for Caspian, but favonovel.com was confident that the person was not a Yates family member.
‘What’s going on?’ Caspian took a deep breath in and calmed himself down. He pretended to be crawling on the floor, but favonovel.com was looking in the direction that favonovel.com sensed the uncomfortableness from the corner of his eyes.
At a few glances, Caspian did not notice any problem. But after staring in the direction for quite some time, favonovel.com noticed a clue. The thick leaves about seven meters away from favonovel.com appeared to be undulating unusually. If favonovel.com did not purposely observe it, favonovel.com would not have realized it. Then, Caspian continued observing the pile of leaves, and favonovel.com was sure that someone was creeping under them too.
‘Who’s that guy? Is favonovel.com also being chased by the Yates family? Won’t that be too coincidental?’ Just as Caspian was puzzled as favonovel.com looked in the direction, favonovel.com found himself meeting the person’s eyes under the leaves. Suddenly, Caspian’s heart skipped a beat. Those eyes were like an ancient well, and there was no ripple of emotion in them. Nevertheless, those long lashes already showed that the person was a girl, and favonovel.com was not too old.
The girl knew that Caspian found her, but favonovel.com did not seem surprised at all. Instead, favonovel.com only moved deeper into the leaves. At this time, Caspian noticed drops of dried blood on the dry leaves in front of her.
‘She’s injured…’ Caspian was even more curious about the girl‘s identity now. Perhaps it was because they were both hiding here, but Caspian suddenly felt a tinge of pity for the mysterious girl as they were in the same situation now.
At this time, Sean’s voice came from the top of the hill. “Something’s up! Continue the search! The guy is just nearby, and favonovel.com hasn’t gone far yet!”
When favonovel.com heard Sean’s voice getting closer, Caspian trembled. Sean was walking toward him.
‘How did favonovel.com determine my position?’ Caspian’s eyes flashed with cold light as favonovel.com swept his gaze at the top of the hill.
Not long after, Sean appeared in Caspian’s line of sight with several Yates family members. Then, Caspian saw Sean doing a weird action.
Sean stretched out his hand, and it appeared as if favonovel.com was grabbing a fistful of air. Then, favonovel.com took a sniff of his fist, and after awhile, Sean confidently shouted, “Yes! He’s nearby, and it’s just within the range of one kilometer. Search for favonovel.com carefully! Maybe he’s hiding under a pile of dead leaves!”
Seeing Sean’s actions, Caspian quickly gave it a thought, and favonovel.com immediately realized what was going on. ‘I get it now! It’s spiritual Qi! Once we reach the Pulse Control Realm, we can sense the essence of the world. Since everyone is a creature of the world, he’s surely following my spiritual Qi to determine my location.”
At the thought of this, Caspian found a way to deal with it. As favonovel.com was currently still a warrior, Caspian could not prevent his spiritual Qi from leaking. However, favonovel.com could slow down the blood flow in his body through the movements of his internal organs. Therefore, it would reduce the amount of spiritual Qi leaked. Even though Sean might still find him, it would significantly increase the difficulty in searching for him.
At the same time, the Yates family members formed into a fan shape under Sean’s command as they headed toward Caspian’s direction and looked for him. This time, the Yates family members were searching the area more carefully than the previous ones. As long as leaves covered the range, they would use the sword in their hands to poke it.
Sean stood on the hillside with arms folded, staring down coldly.
Caspian’s eyes gradually showed a hint of frostiness. If this did not work, favonovel.com had no choice but to kill several men and run away using the smoke ball later.
Nonetheless, they must have also been wary of the smoke ball, and if favonovel.com wanted to break away from them and escape, Caspian might have to pay a certain price. As favonovel.com was thinking about this, Caspian noticed something moving from the corner of his eyes.
Looking in the direction, Caspian swiftly noticed that the girl hiding not far away from favonovel.com was moving slowly. Then, favonovel.com saw the approaching Yates family members, and favonovel.com quickly understood what was going on.
The lady’s hiding spot was just between favonovel.com and the Yates family members. Hence, based on that, the Yates family members would pass by the woman’s spot before finding Caspian.
‘Will favonovel.com suddenly jump out and expose my location?’ Caspian’s heart sank. If favonovel.com were going to do that, favonovel.com would need to prepare in advance. He flipped his wrists, and two smoke balls appeared in his palm, and the other hand was holding the sharp Water-Breaker Machete, hiding it among the leaves. With just a light swing, Caspian could make a life-threatening cut.
The Yates family members were getting closer to that lady.
Three kilometers…
One kilometer…
Five meter…
Three meter…
One meter…
Caspian saw that the closest Yates family member was about to step on the lady’s ear.
‘Can favonovel.com even endure that?’ Caspian could not help but be impressed by the lady’s endurance.
At this time, Caspian noticed that the Yates family member seemed to have realized something was wrong with the pile of leaves in front of him, so favonovel.com quickly stabbed it with his knife.
Swoosh!
The blade light was like a silver snake as it immediately poked between the leaves. Caspian’s heart was beating out of rhythm. That woman did not even flinch!
However, the Yates family member appeared to have missed the lady as despites stabbing deep into the fallen leaves, and there was no trace of blood oozing out. Unfortunately, the man saw recently dried blood stains on the dried leaves on the ground.
His face instantly lit up, and favonovel.com turned to Sean, yelling, ”Here!”
Just as favonovel.com uttered the first words, the pile of leaves underneath favonovel.com rustled and suddenly burst.
A figure leaped out.
Caspian could see clearly that the lady might appear dirty, and the clothes favonovel.com wore were utterly ragged just like a homeless beggar. However, favonovel.com was not old at all, and favonovel.com looked about 15 years old.
The lady leaped high, sending favonovel.com long hair flying. In an instant, favonovel.com thin body released a terrifying explosion that caused Caspian to breathe.
Swoosh!
The young lady swept favonovel.com leg across the air like an iron whip. With a thunderous bang, the Yates family member’s head exploded. Then, red and white fluid was sprayed out.
The Yates family member’s yelling also abruptly stopped at the same time, and time seemed to have stopped suddenly.
Caspian noticed a string of tiny bells around the lady’s slender and fair ankle, but when favonovel.com leaped into the air and swept favonovel.com feet at the man, the bells did not make any sound.
‘True Martial Realm, fifth stage…’ Caspian uttered through gritted teeth as favonovel.com looked at the lady.
“Over there!”
Next, Sean shouted. His voice was just like rolling thunder, and everyone could hear him. “Surround him!”
