The next step was to shake off the hunchbacked masked man and escape to safety.
And the direction of escape was chosen earlier when the waves were surging toward them.
If the previous waves were indeed created by Yuan Dongzhi using his powers,
then moving in the direction of the incoming waves there was a high probability of encountering Yuan Dongzhi.
Lin Zichen guessed.
Although Yuan Dongzhi had been defeated, he most likely hadn't died.
Instead, he was like Lu Tianrong before him, ensnared by the enemy with vines.
This guess was founded on solid ground.
The evidence lay in the fact that the hunchbacked masked man did not seem badly injured, indicating that his battle with Yuan Dongzhi was not fierce.
A fight between equal powerhouses could not be non-intense if intent on killing the other.
After all, they were combatants of the same level and the disparity was unlikely to be so great that one could kill the other without sustaining any injuries.
