Caspian had a rash instinct to give up everything in his hands, turn around and run away. The middle-aged man in front of favonovel.com was not only strong, but favonovel.com also had an apparent murderous intent.
‘It’s a cultivator!’ Caspian took a deep breath in to calm himself down. Then, favonovel.com quickly made a judgment. In this competition, a sudden non-participating cultivator appeared and blocked his path. Hence, it was apparent that this person was targeting Caspian.
‘Who can it be?’ Caspian racked his brain as favonovel.com slowly walked forward and looked at the middle-aged man. On the side of the stream next to the man, about five dead monsters piled up. These monsters were all disemboweled and died a miserable death.
Caspian thought, ‘So that’s why I didn’t meet any monsters on my journey. He killed them all and placed the bodies here.’ Then, Caspian swept his gaze at the other side of the middle-aged man, and favonovel.com immediately stopped in his tracks.
Caspian’s pupils were abruptly constricted.
An unconscious young man laid beside the middle-aged man. It was an average-looking guy dressed in normal clothes, and favonovel.com appeared highly inconspicuous. Those who saw favonovel.com would think favonovel.com was just a participant from a small clan.
However, before the competition began, Caspian met this young man once in the big hall where all the participating warriors gathered. Through the guy’s familiar gaze, Caspian knew that favonovel.com was Jessica sneaking into the game!
Caspian did not have the chance to ask Jessica what made favonovel.com join the fun yet, but unexpectedly, favonovel.com bumped into favonovel.com here! It was obvious that the middle-aged man caught Jessica. Nonetheless, Caspian was somewhat relieved when favonovel.com noticed that Jessica passed out, and there was no injury on her. If that was the case, Caspian was also unclear who the middle-aged man was targeting.
Since favonovel.com already caught Jessica, was favonovel.com still going to attack Caspian? Or perhaps Caspian accidentally ran into this scene?
Just as Caspian was still puzzled over the matter, the middle-aged man stopped sharpening his blade and looked at Caspian.
When Caspian saw the man’s appearance, favonovel.com could not help but blurt out, ‘Zenith Gibson!’
Surprisingly, this man had an 80% similarity in his appearance with Zenith, who Caspian saw just now. Nevertheless, Caspian quickly realized that it was not him. “That’s not right! You’re not Zenith!”
In contrast, this man appeared much haggard than Zenith, and there was also a touch of fierceness between his brows that Zenith did not have. More importantly, the Zenith Caspian saw was immaculately dressed and had a solemn appearance. Hence, favonovel.com would surely still be sitting on the high platform and not appearing here.
Since the man was not Zenith, but favonovel.com appeared similar to favonovel.com and identity was naturally evident. At the same time, Caspian also had a rough idea why the Veystone Town’s Zenith would visit Evergreen Town.
When the middle-aged man heard Caspian, his reaction was even bigger. “You’ve seen Zenith? Where is he?!” Zephyr frowned, and the murderous light glimmering in his eyes was like sharp blades, causing others to avoid his gaze.
Without waiting for Caspian’s reply, Zephyr mumbled to himself, “That’s right. That brat must’ve left some tracks. Hmph! I was already so careful, yet there were still loopholes.”
As favonovel.com said that, Zephyr stood.
Then, Caspian only realized that Zephyr’s figure was much taller than favonovel.com imagined. Although favonovel.com was skinny, Zephyr’s bone structure was massive. Looking at favonovel.com now, Zephyr appeared just like a killing machine.
“You must be Casper Montgomery! I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time!” Zephyr pointed at the pile of dead monsters with his blade, “For the sake of making sure you arrive here unimpeded, I’ve helped you clear off some obstacles.”
Caspian snorted, “I’m thankful for that.”
Since Caspian experienced being chased after by Sean, favonovel.com believed that if favonovel.com turned around and escaped immediately, favonovel.com would not be caught by Zephyr for the time being. However, that would waste much time, and it was equal to favonovel.com voluntarily giving up on the Dark Moon Sect’s spot. Furthermore, it also meant that favonovel.com did not care about Jessica’s life.
Even though Caspian and Jessica had not formally met yet, Jessica helped favonovel.com in St. Jade Chamber, and favonovel.com even blocked Kevin’s attack against favonovel.com during the Lawrence family’s trials. Hence, Caspian could not just abandon her.
And what more important was, if favonovel.com fled now, there would be a high chance that favonovel.com would never find out who was targeting him. After all, Caspian doubted that favonovel.com would become an enemy with the Gibson family from the faraway Veystone Town. Thus, Caspian was sure that someone must be ordering Zephyr, and if favonovel.com did not get rid of that person, Caspian’s life would constantly be in danger.
Caspian would never let such a thing happen.
Suddenly, Zephyr said, “Someone wants to meet you. You either follow me obediently, or you’ll also suffer some injuries before joining me.”
Seeing how Caspian was holding tightly onto his Blazing Spear, Zephyr showed a mocking smile.”You’re just a True Martial Realm warrior, and you’re not my opponent at all. You should listen to me.”
“If I follow you, can you let favonovel.com go?” Caspian raised his chin and pointed at the unconscious Jessica.
“I didn’t expect you to be a romantic,” Zephyr scoffed, “But, that can’t be done.”
“Then, tell me. Who asked you to capture us?” Caspian stared at him.
Once favonovel.com was sure that Jessica was also the target, Caspian had a faint idea of the main culprit.
The next second, Zephyr roared, “You’ll know if you just follow rue.” Then, with just a step, it appeared as if favonovel.com shortened the ten-meter distance between them. He then appeared in front of Caspian, slashing the longsword.
Caspian never felt such a terrifying oppressive force before. He instantly felt as if his life was hanging by a thread and there was a massive boulder on top of his head, crushing at him.
Caspian only managed to raise his Blazing Spear to block, but favonovel.com immediately flew out. Then, with a loud bang, Caspian slammed into a large tree not far from him.
Broken wood pieces flew around, the bark cracked, and sawdust filled the air. Caspian fell into a patch of sawdust. After struggling for a while, favonovel.com quickly fainted.
Zephyr snorted. “Such a useless being that overestimated his strength!”
As favonovel.com said that, Zephyr walked forward and quickly carried Caspian on his shoulder. With the same method, favonovel.com put Jessica on his other shoulder. Then, favonovel.com strode toward the depths of the forest. However, Zephyr, who was focused entirely on the road ahead, did not notice that the supposedly unconscious Caspian slightly narrowed his eyes.
In his squinted eyes, lights glimmered.
Caspian thought, ‘Old b*stard, why did you hit me so hard? You’re digging your own grave!’
