"Tai Shan get up, we have to keep moving." Picking up his fellow disciple, he continued to run. "Can we even make it through this?" Tai Shan questioned, he had almost lost hope. "Shit heads continue running!" Wang Tian's scream echoed from behind them.
"Senior Brother!" They replied, his presence reinvigorating them. Wang Tian had run as fast as he could so he could catch up with his juniors, he was the Vice-Leader after all so now it was his turn to take charge.
Squad 3 continued running through the forest, now with Wang Tian at the helm. 'Fuck where am I meant to lead them.' Wang Tian pondered as he looked through the map. He knew he couldn't take them to that place, but Fang Boqin had given him no other instructions.
Then suddenly something occurred to Wang Tian. 'There wasn't any plan was there, we were just running out aimlessly. But why? For what reason?' He questioned but for now there were no answers.
Seeing as it was pointless staying in the front, Wang Tian directed one of the disciples at the 6th Layer to continue running forward while he fell back to the rear. Since they were being chased the most dangerous area would be the rear so Wang Tian took this duty upon himself.
Like this the Squad continued running for some time. Fortunately it seemed as though Fang Boqin and the others had successfully kept the Mountain Shaking Sect at bay. 'At least we won't have to lose anymore.' With this thought Wang Tian looked backwards once again just to make sure. "I guess I am just overthinking things." He muttered as he shook his head.
"SWOOSH!"
Just as Wang Tian let his guard down, an arrow flew through the air alerting the disciples. Immediately Wang Tian moved forward to deflect the arrow, shattering it with a punch, but as if mocking him, another arrow shot out from an area beyond his reach.
'No he can't dodge in time!' Wang Tian's mind raced, using Encompassing the Heavens at full force to try and intercept the arrow, but it was no use.
"PUCHI!"
In an instant the arrow pierced through the disciple's chest destroying his heart. "S-Senior Brother!" He stuttered as Wang Tian reached him, before collapsing onto him, dead. "TAI SHAN!" Another disciple roared in anguish.
Before Wang Tian could even process the situation, numerous arrows once again flew through the air targeting the weaker disciples. This time, Wang Tian was prepared. With Tai Shan in his arms he bolted towards the arrows kicking them one after the other.
"You, take him and continue running." Wang Tian commanded handing over Tai Shan's corpse. "Mhm." The disciple nodded in response, Wang Tian's expression at that moment had scared him. The disciples continued to retreat, but that didn't mean the arrows would stop.
"SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"
Wang Tian moved to intercept the arrows catching them with his hands, before throwing them towards where they were shot from. Immediately a rustle was heard as the archer was forced to move from his previous position. Using the sound of his movement, Wang Tian continued to close on in him.
"SWOOSH!"
Another arrow was fired towards Wang Tian, even faster than the previous one's, unfortunately for the archer such a trivial increase in power was nothing to Wang Tian. Stamping his foot on the soft grass he used Tiger's Ferocious Charge completely obliterating the arrow and sending a blast of wind towards the archer's location.
"BOOM! BOOM!"
Multiple trees shattered from the force of the air ramming into them, finally revealing the archer's figure as he moved through the air. Cloaked in deep red robes, with a hood over his head, Zhang Xue's dark black eyes pierced into Wang Tian's light brow eyes as he nocked another arrow.
"So you've finally shown yourself!" Wang Tian roared as his fist trembled. His mere rage caused Zhang Xue's body to tremble causing him to accidentally fire his arrow completely missing Wang Tian. But this wasn't the end of his problems.
In an instant Wang Tian leaped into the air performing Tiger's Ferocious Charge once again, this time the outline of a tiger forming vividly around him.
"CRACK!"
Wang Tian's fist slammed heavily into Zhang Xue's body causing his ribs to shatter as he flew backwards. Unfortunately for him, this wasn't the end. As Wang Tian landed his momentum didn't dissipate rather it increased as his speed and power both simultaneously increased.
"Tiger's Piercing Fang!" Wang Tian roared his fist penetrating Zhang Xue's body, creating a gruesome sight. His fist had ran through Zhang Xue's ribcage and heart completely obliterating them while skewering Zhang Xue with his arm.
This was the 2nd move of Unstoppable Tiger's Dominating Fist, he had immense joy when he finally comprehended this move, but now using it he felt no such emotion. "Burn in hell, trash." Wang Tian muttered as the light behind Zhang Xue's eyes completely faded.
Pulling out his arm, Wang Tian fell to his knees. 'What is this all for, why are they doing this? Is other's success really worth such jealousy to the point of war.' Wang Tian pondered. Looking at his right arm, he couldn't help but shiver at the amount of blood soaking it.
"Would it have been better to just stay as a trash." Wang Tian chuckled sorrowfully before getting up. Feng Boqin had entrusted him with a duty, and he was now responsible for his Junior Brothers, he had no time to wallow in his sorrows.
'Even if it was better to be trash, there's no going back now.' He thought before rushing after his Junior Brothers, he had to be a dependable Senior Brother.
