Junior brother glanced to his back, expecting senior brother to be hot on his heels. Unfortunately, a single glanced confirmed that... senior brother was lost.
With his expression darkening, junior brother stopped in his tracks. Stupid senior brother. Couldn't he understand the importance of their mission? He needed to stop playing around and get serious.
Taking a deep breath, he turned on his heels to retrace his steps, however junior brother realized something odd.
He couldn't move.
Scowling even further, he yanked his feet up, using the entire force that his cultivation allowed him. Despite this, he barely moved an inch.
An eerie laugh sounded from all around junior brother, and he quickly returned to his neutral expression.
He strained his ears and senses, trying to find what direction the enemy was. Even with his best effort, junior brother was unable to pinpoint the enemy.
"My, my," the chuckling voice said. "Who do we have here?"
Junior brother couldn't help the violent twitch of his cheek. Why was it that demon cultivators seemed to always find them? Did they have some sort of sensor or...?
And suddenly, it hit him.
In his fight with the high-leveled demon cultivator, she had pierced through his stomach. And even in the infirmary, he felt his stomach pulsating. Could it truly be a sensor? Could he have been the one to lead the demons to the sect...
"What are you thinking about?" the voice sounded amused, and junior brother narrowed his eyes. He refused to answer them. After all, what was the point? It was going to die soon anyway.
"Hey."
All of a sudden, the demon cultivator appeared behind junior brother, whispering into his ear. Instead of being surprised, junior brother knew that the cultivator would appear before him. Thus, he struck out immediately, his hand creating its own gust of wind due to the sheer force he applied.
"Whoops!" the demon cultivator grinned, dodging junior brother's move with a simple turn of his body.
"Tsk," junior brother narrowed his eyes, finally having a clear view of the nuisance.
The demon cultivator looked young, however all higher-leveled demon cultivators looked young. Junior brother couldn't help but tsk further when he realized that... the demon cultivator was the same pink color as the forest.
He was hot pink from head to toe.
Junior brother could only helplessly shake his head within his heart. The d*mn demon cultivator had the best camouflage for the forest. But at the same time, he couldn't help but pity the demon cultivator (DC). It was an explosive pink...
Looking back at the demon cultivator, junior brother was shocked to see that he was gone. Keeping his cool, however, he knew that the demon cultivator wasn't truly gone, but just camouflaged.
"Peekaboo!" the demon cultivator popped behind junior brother, about to pierce his back with his extended nails.
Junior brother immediately tried to turn, however he realized a horrific fact.
He still couldn't move.
Cursing, he watched almost in slow motion as the demon cultivator's nails neared closer and closer to his heart.
