In the forest, the two elders were sprinting towards the direction of Lilium City in search of Edgar and their disciples. They were trying their best to hide their Qi so that they would not be found out.
While moving stealthily they saw a boy wearing a red robe lying unconscious on the ground.
"Isn't he one of our disciples?'
"Damn, why is he in this state?"
They hurriedly approached him and checked his condition. They found many darts stuck on his back. One of the elders injected his Qi into the boy and looked solemn.
"He has been poisoned. Not only that, it has already been a long time. It's a miracle that he is still breathing for now. But he won't last long. The poison has already spread out through his whole body and the regular pills won't work."
The elder sighed, "We could have used our Qi to stop the spreading and prolong his life. But we don't have much Qi remaining."
"But why do these darts look similar to the one used by the disciple of the Bone and Devil Sect?"
"Yeah, it looks like our disciples failed."
The other elder couldn't control his anger and he punched to the ground, "Why? Who is helping them? The new disciple spoiled our plans and we don't even know whether our other disciples are safe or not."
"Not only that but there is also that masked man who is for our heads."
"Did Edgar also fall into trouble?"
"Let's not think too much. We should first return to Lilium City and ask for help from the other sects. They might help us."
The elder looked at his disciple and made a harsh decision, "We can't take him with us. Let's just send him on the way peacefully. He has already suffered too much."
The other elder was about to take out his saber when he felt a strong aura coming from the back. When he looked back, he saw the winds were howling and the trees were rustling.
The elder yelled, "Run."
They didn't even bother about his disciple on the ground and dashed towards the city. They even burned their remaining Qi.
"You can't run."
Davion tracked them with his Mind-Eye and was pursuing them with his full speed. He channeled all of his spiritual energy due to which a strong aura was being released. As a result, even the surroundings were getting affected.
He didn't even bother to hide it. If it was the previous Davion then he would have never done so. But after leveling up, he has become twice as fast as before. So, he was full of confidence. Even that kid who came out from Edgar would have been caught by him.
The elders were panicking when they heard that voice.
"Why is he so fast?
"His aura looks more robust and dangerous now."
"How did he track us? We made sure that we didn't leak our Qi."
"Was he hiding his abilities before?"
They couldn't believe that someone would hide their abilities to fight them and later chase them again with full force.
The chase continued for a few minutes and the distance between them was closing very fast. Davion was only a few meters away from them. If they were in their peak condition, then they might have escaped. But now, there was no hope.
So, seeing that they could not run away from him, one of the elders decided to gamble.
"I will delay him here. You just run."
He turned back and took out his saber.
"You.." the other elder looked sorrowful and stopped.
"What are you doing? If we both stay here, then we will definitely die. At least one of us should escape. Don't waste any time here." The elder with the saber scolded him.
The other elder made his decision and ran while shouting, "Make sure you return."
The elder with the saber didn't say anything but rushed towards Davion who was coming towards him.
He swung his saber with all his remaining Qi and it turned completely red. He was sure that even a cultivator at the middle stage of Golden Core State wouldn't dare to take this head-on. But the next thing made his eyes nearly popped out.
Davion used some part of his spiritual energy and caught the saber perfectly with just his two fingers. With his strong physical body and spiritual energy, he remained unharmed.
Before the elder could react, he gripped the saber with his remaining fingers and pulled it by force. Without giving any chance to the elder, he immediately kicked him in his stomach with his right leg.
The elder got launched like a cannonball onto a nearby tree and felt a large force wreaking havoc in his stomach. He coughed out a large amount of blood.
"You.."
He was about to say something when a black saber came straight to his chest and pierced his heart.
The dark energy corroded his heart and the elder died in a few seconds.
"I look like a villain," Davion sighed.
He took off the space ring from the body and didn't waste time destroying it. Rather he immediately chased after the elder who had escaped.
