The morning sun was not stingy with its own heat, shining on the awakened earth, cleaning up the dew that had condensed due to the cold. Everything was bathed in the warm sunlight, and a new day had arrived.
"Tian gege, where are we going?" Starrain asked softly.
"Go after the Ferocious Wolf Bandits." Although Ling Tian's tone was light, his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Did they kill my grandfather and those uncles?”
"Yes." Ling Tian nodded.
There was silence again. Starrain lowered her head, deep in thought. The two of them walked quietly. Neither of them spoke, but the sound of their feet stepping on the fallen leaves could be heard."Creak"…"Creak"…
"Tian gege, look, there's a small town up ahead.”Starrain pointed ahead and said softly.
"I see it. Let's go in."
The two of them swaggered into the town. They weren't ignorant or childish, but they didn't know the information. They didn't know that overnight changes were huge.
When the two of them first stepped into the small town, countless eyes were staring at them from behind.
"That's right, it's him. He has a long sword on his back and his long hair drapes over his shoulders. Beside him is a thirteen-year-old girl.”someone muttered to himself.
"He's here! We have to report this to the Guild Leader immediately." It was another voice.
"Sword of Fury, hehe…I can't miss such a good opportunity!”A figure murmured.
………………
This was a nameless small town, located at the border between the Bright Moon Empire and the Star Dream Empire. Due to the war, this small town had long since been taken over by a country, and it had not even been named. However, this small town was the beginning of Ling Tian's pursuit, and it could also be said to be the beginning of his escape. Later on, someone gave this town a name. It was called Wanli Town.
There were not many residents in the town, but there were several taverns and hotels, which were needed by merchants. Wherever there was a trade, there would be a market. The appearance of taverns and inns was no coincidence.
The tavern was a lively place. It was a scene of passion. But today, the tavern was completely silent, especially the moment Ling Tian stepped into the tavern.
Killing intent! An intense killing intent!
Even though the killing intent was still there, the moment Ling Tian stepped into the tavern, his mood changed, causing his killing intent to leak out. Even though it was just a flash, it was enough for Ling Tian who had been through life and death situations.
Ling Tian stared at the people in the tavern warily, tensing up his nerves and lowering his breathing to the lowest possible level. Raising his senses to the maximum, every single cell in his body tensed up as his left hand gently wrapped around Xingyu's waist. Even though Xingyu did not know what was happening, she could feel Ling Tian's nervousness. She knew that a life and death battle was about to begin, and without waiting for Ling Tian's orders, she obediently closed her eyes.
She didn't want to see anyone else bleed, much less Ling Tian. She didn't want to see the longing eyes of people when they died. She also didn't understand why a body with such a weak vitality could have such terrifying lethality. She didn't understand why people who were so reluctant to leave the world would still walk on the path of killing.
Her weak body could not change anything. She could only helplessly choose to close her eyes and not witness the tragic scene. However, every time the shrill and tragic cries entered her ears, her heart would ache and her soul would be touched.
What was all this for?
No one could answer her.
At this moment, what gave her the answer was four swift figures, four shining silver battle qi shields, four sharp sword qi, and four sharp swords stabbing towards Ling Tian. The two swords sealed off Ling Tian's path of retreat. The two swords attacked him from the front. He had no way to dodge. What a skilled combination, what ingenious coordination!
Ling Tian's figure did not move at all. Could it be that he was giving up just like that?
All of a sudden, Ling Tian let out a furious roar as four silver battle qi shot towards the four sword qi. The attacks were blocked and the aura was slightly weaker. Ling Tian's eyes flashed as he slashed his Fury Slash towards one of the attackers. At this moment, his Void Gate was exposed.
"Ah!" With a miserable cry, that person died tragically. At the same time, his sword stabbed into Ling Tian's left arm, risking his life to survive. He knew that one of the people would definitely have a chance to escape.
This scream indeed shocked everyone present. Under the continuous attacks of the four Silver Fighters, he was able to create an opportunity to attack in a desperate situation, risking his injuries to kill one of them.
A calm mind, sharp observation, instantaneous powerful warrior power, courage and wit, such a talent in battle, such a cultivation speed, he was indeed a rare genius!
Shock would distract one's attention and slow down one's movements. Ling Tian hugged Xingyu and instantly flew out, disappearing without a trace, leaving behind only a series of afterimages. By the time they woke up, Ling Tian had already left. However, they still chased after him because blood was the best clue.
Blood continued to flow out of Ling Tian's left arm, dripping onto the ground. At this moment, Ling Tian didn't notice that he was staring at the wide river in front of him. Could it be that he had nowhere to run?
Xingyu felt her hands wet and smelled the stench of blood. She opened her eyes and saw that Ling Tian's clothes were covered in blood.
"Tian gege, you're injured and you're bleeding a lot.”Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice sounded like she was about to cry.
"Blood?" He looked at the ground. The blood along the way showed his tracks. With a flash of inspiration, he slapped his forehead, tore off his left sleeve that was covered in blood, and threw it into the river. He then carried Ling Tian to a tree and hid himself. He used low-level light magic to slowly heal his wounds. He did not dare to use high-level magic, fearing that the magic fluctuations would cause abnormalities in the magic elements. At the critical moment of life, any flaw would be fatal.
With the wound no longer bleeding, Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down. Holding Starfall in his right hand, he slowly transferred his Dou Qi into Starfall's veins, causing their breathing to remain the same. Then, their breathing, blood circulation, and heart rate gradually slowed down, and their breathing disappeared.
"The blood extended all the way here and then disappeared.”One of them said.
" There's no way out here, and there's no new blood," another person said.
"Look, there's still blood in the river.”
"Over there. Do you see that sleeve?”
"Could it be that he jumped into the river and escaped?"
"It should be."
"But he can swim across such a wide river, but that little girl can't.”
"But there's no trace of that little girl's aura here either. She should have escaped together through the river path.”
"They must be swimming along the river, but it's impossible for them to swim to the other side. Let's chase them along the river.”
"En, not bad. That's it."
"Chase!"
The chaotic scene quieted down, and a large group of people chased after them along the river.
Ling Tian's eyes were focused on everything, but he still did not come out. What was he waiting for?
**
After a while, a few more figures appeared. After carefully searching the footage, one of them said,
"Captain, it looks like he really escaped by water.”
"Humph! I was wrong. I thought he was just hiding and would appear after we left. I didn't expect him to really escape along the water path.”
"Guild Leader, what do we do now?"
"We can only follow them along the waterway.”
Looking at the few of them leaving, Ling Tian took a deep breath and jumped down with Star Rain in his arms.
"Tian gege, how did you know those people would come back?”Xingyu looked at Ling Tian with admiration.
"The few of them walked at the back and looked back from time to time. I knew they wouldn't give up just like that.”
"Tsk tsk…this little girl is indeed quick-witted. This old master admires her!”A staggering figure slowly walked over. He was wearing a gray warrior suit and holding a walking stick. His back was hunched, and he looked very old. It seemed like a casual step, but the distance he crossed was as big as seven or eight steps for an ordinary person, and he landed without making a sound.
Ling Tian's eyes widened as his pupils contracted, causing all the hair on his body to stand on end. An expert, an absolute expert!
"Fortunately, this old master is patient. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to meet the influential figures of the past year. Hehe…"
"Humph!"
"He is indeed cold and arrogant! However, to have such strength at such a young age, he indeed had the capital to be cold and arrogant.”
"What do you think?"
"This old man doesn't ask for much. As long as you have the Fury Slash in your hand, I'll let you go. You don't want that little girl to die here with you, right?”The grey-robed old man was indeed ruthless. He had intentionally mentioned Star Rain to hint to her that she still had someone to protect and that he could take her life at any time.
"Hmm…That works too." Ling Tian pondered for a moment before nodding his head in agreement. It was unknown what he was thinking, or if he was really giving up on Fury Slash for the sake of Star Rain.
Seeing that he had agreed, the grey-robed old man suppressed the joy in his heart. After all, she is still a virgin and can't withstand threats. Once she mentions someone she cares about, her heart will become chaotic. Unfortunately, this old man won't be soft-hearted.
"But I still have questions."
"What question?"
"Do you know about the Ferocious Wolf Bandits?"
"Is it the Ferocious Wolf Bandit Group, ranked fourth on the Bandit Group Rankings?”
"That's right. As long as you tell me where they are, I will give you the Furious Sword.”
"The Wolf Bandits appeared in this area the day before yesterday, but they left again. They are probably heading to their headquarters now.”
"Oh? Was that so? Where is the base camp?" Ling Tian could tell that he wasn't lying. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that the Ferocious Wolves Bandits had appeared in this area two days ago.
"It's far. It's probably ten thousand miles away from here. It's in the northwest of the Cloudy Night Empire in a place called the Vicious Wolf Valley. If you want to chase after them, you can go upstream along this river and keep walking along the mountain path.”The grey-robed old man spoke in great detail. The more detailed he knew, the more assured this youth would be in him, and the greater his chances of success in launching a sneak attack.
"Are you satisfied with my answer?”Looking at Ling Tian who was deep in thought, she was also a little anxious, afraid that he would change his mind and start fighting. Facing such a powerful opponent, the sounds of fighting would definitely spread far away, and it would inevitably lead to unnecessary trouble.
Ling Tian looked at him and untied the huge sword on his back before tossing it over.
The grey-robed old man was extremely happy. Seeing the Fury Slash that was thrown over, he grabbed it with one hand and slashed it towards Ling Tian. However, the sword in his hand suddenly emitted an extremely powerful suction force that continuously absorbed the old man's Dou Qi.，His heart was filled with terror and he stopped his attack on Ling Tian. He wanted to throw away the sword in his hand, but no matter what, the sword was still tightly sucking onto his five fingers, absorbing Dou Qi from the veins in his palm.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with terror and his face was filled with malevolence. He had no way to deal with the Fury Slash that was constantly sucking away the energy in his body and could only look at Ling Tian pleadingly. He wanted to say something, but he could not open his mouth. He was unwilling to accept this.
Ling Tian didn't show any mercy at all and just stared at him without blinking, until the sword sucked away all of his Qi and vitality, turning him into a dried corpse.
Birds died for food, humans died for wealth, and this old man died for this sword. It was all a disaster caused by human greed.
Xingyu was stunned. She had yet to react even after the grey-robed elder had turned into a dried corpse.
Ling Tian picked up the Sword of Fury and carried the dumbfounded Xingyu. He then went against the flow of the river as he looked into the distance with a resolute gaze," Even if the Wolf Bandits are thousands of miles away, I will kill them.
