Xu Yan's figure was hidden atop a large tree, quietly waiting.
At a certain moment, a kite suddenly appeared and landed before the pill.
"Indeed effective!"
Xu Yan was overjoyed.
The kite swooped low rather than flying high, not a warning signal, so the people in the valley would not take notice.
After all, the kite was not always stationary; only high flight was the warning signal, indicating that strangers were approaching.
With a flick of his finger, Xu Yan released a thread of faint Sword Intent, instantly killing the kite and reducing it to ash.
This strand of Sword Intent was extremely subtle, vanishing in a flash, just powerful enough to kill a kite without alerting the strong ones in the valley.
Having killed one kite, another soon flew over, and after a short while, yet another.
With a flick of his fingers, Xu Yan annihilated all the incoming kites.
In total, there were five kites, and after they were all slain, no more appeared.
