A few minutes early
" Young lady, he is ahead of us " Said one of the four older men who were hiding the group
Lan Xue frowns hearing the old man and with a cold voice she says " Remember, kill him on sight, and don't leave any trace of his existence "
Suddenly a bright blue light appeared in the forest before them " What is that? " Said another old man as he watched a shining blue light coming from a dense part of the forest, suddenly the light erupted and moved towards them destroying the ground and trees on its path
" Young lady! " The old man who spoke first yelled in alarm and grabbed Lan Xue, then he jumped away as Lan Xue saw him in shock, while the other old man stayed still crossing their arms in front of their bodies as a light blue field appeared around them the others jumped at all directions when *BOOM* Huge explosion occurred when the attack hit the old man in the front of the group
" What the hell was that?! " Yelled Lan Xue angrily, but before the old man had the chance to answer her because more light balls came from the forest
The number of light balls was countless, and they seemed to be scattering in a wide area
" Move out of the way! " Yelled the old man who was carrying Lan Xue, many of the men jumped away, and suddenly *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* The light balls crashed on the ground " AGH!! " " AAH!! " " UGH!! " Cries of pain filled the place as the area blew up, filling the place with fire
" What the hell is that?! " Yelled Lan Xue with a shocked expression as the Old man who was carrying her was evading the energy blasts that seemed to keep coming
' I can't let the little lady get hit with that, or she will die! ' The Old man noticed that the men that came with them were dying slowly from those attacks, only those strong like him or slightly weaker were withstanding the attacks with their defense techniques
Their numbers were reduced by more than half as the old man kept evading the attacks who seemed to be now more focused on them ' It's aiming at me on purpose?! He is trying to hit the little lady! '
The attacks kept coming but as the old man said most of them were focused on him and Lan Xue, which gave them time for the others to move away and charge to where the attacks came
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Goddammit! " Chen Kai yelled and put down his arms then he grabbed the blue horns in the ground and turned around to run away using his full speed
' I managed to kill more than half of them, but the rest of them are still alive including Lan Xue ' Chen Kai thought with a serious expression, then he turned left and right in quick succession ' They are trying to surround already! I know that they will be troublesome ' Chen Kai felt that only 4 energies were chasing them and two of them were trying to surround him to cut his way out, it seemed that the others stayed behind to help those injured by his attacks
Chen Kai grabs a horn in each hand and suddenly *CLANK* he stops a slash from an old man's sword that appeared at his right in a flash
" ...?! " The old man looks surprised by how sturdy those horns were ' Those horns are unique, not even my sword intent managed to damage them '
Chen Kai sends a kick to the old man but with a backflip, he evades it easily, the old man lands and notices that Chen Kai used that as an opportunity to run away once again " You bastard, you are not going to escape! " And he ran after Chen Kai again
Chen Kai's arms were shaking from the clash he had with the old man, still, he tightened the grips on the horns in his hands ' If it wasn't for these horns, that sword intent could have killed me! I need to run away! ' But as before they watched him very fast
" Damn! " Chen Kai turns around and uses his arms to block the incoming attack but *PUM* " Ugh! " One old man hits his face, sending him flying away while he bounces a few times on the ground until the momentum from the impact ceases
" Argh.. " Chen Kai felt dizzied by the sudden punch he received, but he knew he didn't have time to waste so he stood as fast as he could wanting to escape, but then he noticed a blue aura appearing in the sky, the aura took a bird form and moved towards him very fast, Chen Kai knew that it will be impossible to him to evade it, so instead " Ha!! " He shot his Spirit Cannon at it and *BOOM* The attacks collided creating a huge explosion that sent Chen Kai flying once again by how close it was to him
" Old man Li, kill him!! " Chen Kai heard a woman scream, he knew that it was Lan Xue it seemed that the two who were chasing him from behind were her and another old man
' Damn you! ' Chen Kai frowned with an angered expression then *SWOOSH* *STAB* " Agh! " A light arrow pierced Chen Kai's left shoulder from side to side and vanished, in the sky he noticed an old man aiming a bow at him ready to shoot another energy arrow, but he also noticed that that old man was carrying Lan Xue on his back, who was looking at him with a murderous expression
*SWOOSH**SWOOSH**SWOOSH* The old man quickly shoots three more energy arrows which *STAB* *STAB* *STAB* " Urgh..! " Every one of them pierced Chen Kai's chest to vanish then leaving bleeding holes in his chest
Chen Kai falls on his back from the strength of the arrows, besides, he vomits a mouthful of blood while doing so
" Agh! " Chen Kai ignores the pain coming from his chest and stands as fast as he can when suddenly *PAM* another old man comes from his right and punches him in the face sending him flying once again
" Kill the bastard! " Yelled Lan Xue with anger once again
Chen Kai gritted his teeth feeling his head dizzied by the sudden punch from the old man ' Goddammit, I didn't feel him getting close, I need to do something if this keeps up I'm going to get killed here '
Chen Kai then saw Lan Xue who was smiling cruelly at him and an idea came to his mind, then from his right side the old man with a sword appeared again ready to attack him, Chen Kai gritted his teeth and jumped high in the air " You can't escape from me! " Yelled the old man as he jumped towards him
Old man Li and Lan Xue saw him in the air and Lan Xue yelled " Shot him down, Old Man Li! "
The old man aimed his bow at Chen Kai and pulled the string but just before he could shoot Chen Kai put his hands at both sides of his face and yelled " Solar Flare! "
*SWOOSH* A sudden flash appeared from Chen Kai's body brightening the forest " AGH! My eyes! " Yelled the old man with the sword as he released his sword to cover his eyes with his hands, he wasn't the only one affected the old man Li released his bow and covered his eyes as well Lan Xue " What is this?! " She said in a pained voice
Chen Kai used that moment to counterattack, he created a blue energy sphere in his right hand and *BOOM* " AGH! " He attacks the old man with a sword below him with his Spirit Cannon, the impact creates a huge explosion that pins the old man to the ground
Chen Kai knew that the old man wouldn't die because he was injured but not defeated then when he landed his eyes landed on Lan Xue who was still covering her eyes ' Those old men will recover fast, I have to do this ' Chen Kai thought, then a yellow energy ball appeared in his left hand, and he thinks ' She is an annoyance but still she is Yue's best friend I can't kill her '
And then *SWOOSH* he shoots the Ki blast at Lan Xue and *BOOM* " Hya! " An explosion occurred when the Ki blast hit Lan Xue, it wasn't so strong, but it was strong enough to hurt Lan Xue badly and left her unconscious " Young lady! " Yelled old man Li as he turned to see him with his eyes still half-closed
Chen Kai used that moment to run away as fast as he could again
--------------------------------------------------------
Half-hour later
Chen Kai was hiding in a cave, closing his eyes and trying to feel any presence who could be after him, then after half an hour he thought with a serious expression ' They aren't coming after me, they must be prioritizing Lan Xue's health, it was a good idea to attack her after all ' Chen Kai sits in the cave and eats a Senzu Bean the arrows from the old man didn't make too much damage to him even if they hit his stomach it seems that Chen Kai has become stronger now or was the adrenaline?
Chen Kai grabs the horns with a smiling face as he thinks ' If I hadn't had these things, I could have died, they are a blessing '
