Bab 14: Chapter 14: Shadow Sect

Wudi ran as fast as he could, even though he had killed two martial dao realm combatants, he knew he was at the end of his rope and couldn't fight against the two chasing him. In most of his fights, he was able to jump realms with an element of surprise, but it would be nearly impossible to beat them in his current condition. He had almost nothing left in his dantian. Luckily, the two were left dumbfounded and were still across the river, giving him a huge head start. However, he had to lure them to some degree, so they wouldn't go back to the fight already. The two quickly ran in pursuit of Wudi, as they could tell that he didn't have much strength left in him.

Wudi eventually came to a stop and circulated his martial intent to the max. He jumped into a train and hid, hoping they would go right by him. Wudi waited a long time, but neither of the two disciples from the Thousand Poison Sect actually came. "They didn't go back, did they?" Wudi wondered with a frown. "Well, it doesn't matter. I did what I could." Wudi began to sit and reflect on the battles of the night as he meditated in the tree.

In a different area of the mountain, Ji Xuanming sat on a carriage with a different inner division heading to the western outpost. The two teachers leading at the front began to talk amongst themselves when a Yin Pigeon delivered a message to the two. "Teacher Liang's caravan was attacked, and the third prince is missing," one of them said with a frown. Ji Ren replied, "Hopefully brother Shou won't be too late. It seems what we were speculating actually came about." Hearing this in the back jolted Ji Xuanming from his cultivation, and he had a complicated look and eventually sighed.

Wudi suddenly opened his eyes when he heard movement below. He continued to circulate his martial intent to stay hidden. He wasn't sure how long it had passed since he started cultivating to replenish his qi, but he knew it had to have been a few hours because the sky was slowly brightening, and he felt his dantian was almost full again.

Looking below, he soon saw Jiang Feng walking behind an Elder in green robes. Jiang Feng had his head low like he was just scolded, and the elder had an angered look. "Are you sure this is where the brat went?" Jiang Feng nodded profusely and said, "The disciples reported to me that they chased him into this direction and decided they may not be his match and came back."

"I've personally already come through here an hour ago but also can't find the brat. According to the two he should be badly wounded," the Elder said furiously. "My nephew Bocheng died to the brat while you all played with those from the academy, not only that but the brats from the academy got rescued and all our spies in division one have been revealed, and we still don't have the gold drum medallion." The Elder was fuming because they didn't gain a single thing from revealing themselves and couldn't even locate the Gold Drum Medallion.

Wudi was relieved from hearing their conversation but soon was sweating bullets. The Elder was clearly in the Martial Divine Realm, and this spelled bad news for him. He knew the elder would likely sense him once he began to focus on looking for Wudi again, and he'd be screwed at that point. His internal injuries hadn't healed, and fighting a Martial Divine Realm with his cultivation was impossible. The same tricks wouldn't work on a Martial Divine Realm cultivator because of their divine sense. He knew there was nothing he could do besides circulate his martial intent and do his best not to leak even the tiniest amount of aura.

Jiang Feng looked like a beaten dog and said, "I'm sorry Elder Yang." Elder Yang snorted at Jiang Feng's apology and began to calm down. Suddenly Elder Yang looked up at a nearby tree and frowned, Elder Yang called out, "Who's there?" Jiang Feng instantly went on guard. Wudi knew he was caught but quickly realized that Elder Yang seemed to also be on guard against Wudi. It seemed that Wudi's martial intent was more formidable than he realized.

Wudi quickly thought of a plan and made his voice sound very hoarse. He said, "Disciple of the Shadow Sect greets Elder Yang." Elder Yang slightly let his guard down and asked, "What are you doing here?" with a tinge of suspicion. Wudi responded with, "Here to kill the third prince." Elder Yang connected the dots and nodded his head in understanding.

Elder Yang contemplated for a moment and said, "If we find him first, then we'll save the body for you." It remained silent for a small period of time before Wudi said, "He went west." Elder Yang was excited because it seemed the Shadow Sect hadn't caught wind of the Gold Drum Medallion. They only stationed this disciple here to see if Wudi would come back through.

Elder Yang didn't find the situation suspicious because the Shadow Sect was the only power on the continent that had the unique arts of being able to hide from one's divine senses. They wouldn't show themselves unless necessary. The Shadow Sect had very few disciples, but their intelligent gathering and tracking were impeccable. With him promising to hand the corpse over, they'd likely not mind using him as a borrowed blade. The Shadow Sect only acted when one paid for their services.

Thinking of obtaining the Gold Drum medallion made Elder Yang feel hot in the head, and he wanted to head west immediately. He looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Stay here, and I'll head west. Send me a message if they find his location." Wudi, hearing this, cursed inside. Jiang Feng was already stronger than Wudi, and he was currently injured. Wudi smiled though and thought, "At least this Elder Yang will be out of the way momentarily."

Jiang Feng nodded like he was plucking seed from the ground. Elder Yang disappeared towards the west at great speed. Jiang Feng was nervous and sat down while observing his surroundings. He thought, "I can't believe he left me here with a disciple of the Shadow Sect." Jiang Feng had goosebumps while thinking of the assassin not far away. He couldn't even sense the other's presence.

Wudi was having similar thoughts of immediately wanting to leave the area. He said to himself, "The moment I spring into action to leave, my cover will be blown. It's too hard to manipulate my intent so finely while moving. He'll likely figure out what's going on as soon as I move."

Wudi slowly took some items out of a bag and went over what was inside. Surprisingly, it was the items on Dengyu and Bocheng's bodies. They didn't have any spatial artifacts, so what they had wasn't much, and their bags were tied to their waist. The moment he killed Bocheng, he ripped the bags off their bodies and ran as fast as he could. He hadn't had a chance to check the items till now.

Jiang Feng could hear slight movement and asked, "Did you get a report? Is his location known?" Wudi smiled and said in a gruff voice, "He went to Swallow Peak in the Northeast." Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Good," at the same time he broke a talisman and a message was sent to Elder Yang.

Wudi smiled mischievously and decided he'd mess with them for a bit. He knew how far Swallow Peak was, but he honestly didn't know much else about the area other than that. Heading further East would take them out of the territory the academy had control over.

Wudi smiled as he thought of a plan and looked over the items he got; luckily, there was some medicine and even one of the pills that Dengyu had swallowed after Wudi injured him. Wudi frowned looking at the pill but still put it in a safe place in the off chance he might need it.

Hey there, hope you're all crushing it this week! Let me know your thoughts on the story so far in the comments below. I'm all ears and would love to hear any feedback you have, whether it's positive or constructive. Cheers!

Bab 15: Chapter 15: Heaven Shattering Fist!

Wudi finished rummaging through his items and had a slight smile on his face. He had been able to recover his Qi and, most importantly, had given random directions to Jiang Feng. However, Wudi knew that Elder Yang would soon realize something was wrong. So, he had to make his move and get out of the area soon.

Dropping his smile, Wudi stared at Jiang Feng, contemplating whether he should attack or run. While he didn't think he could kill Jiang Feng, he figured he might be able to injure him enough to prevent his pursuit. The area was covered with trees, with only the middle area, where Jiang Feng was sitting, looking somewhat like a camping spot without trees.

Wudi noticed a very large dead tree with a hollow hole big enough to fit a fully grown man. The tree was leaning on another tree just above Jiang Feng's head. Staring at the tree, Wudi thought, "If I make large movements, I'll likely expose myself, but I can probably remain undetected if I move slow enough." Coming to a decision, Wudi slowly made his way to the tree and stuffed his body into the hollow spot.

Wudi forcibly wedged himself in tight, putting his feet in a position where he could cause a lot of momentum and bent his knees. Using one hand to hold himself in place, he calculated where Jiang Feng was located. Wudi put his other palm on the tree between his shoulder and waist, channeling his qi. He then channeled it into his palm and did a shove into the tree, like a wave traveling from his feet to his palm and then into the tree.

Jiang Feng was sitting below, looking around cautiously and thinking, "Elder Yang doesn't seem to have found anything. Something feels off." Suddenly, Jiang Feng stood and looked up to see a branch break, and a loose tree that was being held by the branch was falling toward him.

Not feeling much danger from a rotten tree, Jiang Feng started to step to the side, but before he could, something burst through the tree right towards him. Wudi, with a mocking smile on his face, stared at Jiang Feng as he flew through the air with a fist going towards Jiang Feng's face. Jiang Feng was shocked but reached his hand out to catch Wudi's fist because it was too late to avoid the collision.

Wudi had actually used a feint, as his other fist that actually contained all his power came forward, aimed for Jiang Feng's stomach. Jiang Feng panicked, lost his balance, and the fist landed on his abdomen as he slammed into the ground. Wood chips from the tree were landing all around the two as Wudi was punching Jiang Feng.

Hitting the ground hard and feeling his internal organs rupturing, Jiang Feng sent a kick from below Wudi into his abdomen. Wudi's hand was up after his fist connected as Jiang Feng had let go, and Wudi received the kick with his palm but was still shoved through the air. Jiang Feng's face was hideous as it contorted in pain. Jiang Feng flipped over and began puking blood on the ground while at the same time secretly crushing a talisman.

Wudi laughed as he caught the action of Jiang Feng crushing the talisman and felt unconcerned because Elder Yang would not be able to make it back in time. Jiang Feng stood up unsteadily, glaring at Wudi with extreme hatred. Blood was still dripping from his mouth, and he said in an almost growling voice, "Wudi!"

Wudi had an imperious look and seemed to be looking down on Jiang Feng. "Brother Jiang, you should be more careful in the future. That's if you have a future," he said mockingly. Jiang Feng looked at Wudi with a serious expression as he realized that he could actually lose if they fought. Jiang Feng still believed he had a good chance if he went all out, but he hoped to avoid that scenario.

Jiang Feng looked at Wudi and said, "Elder Yang will be back soon, so you should run now if you want a chance at life." Wudi laughed and replied, "No need to goad me. I know how far Elder Yang is, and I don't expect him to be back for a while." Jiang Feng said, "Fine, then to death then." He reached for his sword but came to a sudden stop as he looked at Wudi with anguish.

Wudi looked at Jiang Feng mockingly and said, "Looking for this?" He was waving Jiang Feng's sword in an exaggerated manner. Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and bent his knees, throwing back his fist as if he was about to perform an ultimate move, and yelled, "Heaven-shattering fist!" Wudi put up his guard, actually having a serious face as Jiang Feng had put a lot of formless pressure on Wudi with his superior cultivation.

Jiang Feng looked serious as he exuded a strong pressure, appearing as if he would pounce forward with his fist launching out. However, when his legs went straight, he shockingly shot backward with his fist he had accumulated, causing his momentum to rotate. He spun around and started running. Wudi was shocked but soon smiled, thinking that Jiang Feng must have taken lessons from his brother. Jiang Feng had even made up a bogus technique name to scare Wudi. Wudi didn't wait long and soon chased after Jiang Feng.

Wudi didn't have the proper cultivation in the past to use his family's Descending Steps, which was a powerful movement technique exclusive to the imperial family. Still, having looked at the manual and now being strong enough, he could use the technique since breaking through. He hadn't had much time to practice it, but he felt it was rather natural while performing it and was slowly gaining on Jiang Feng. Wudi maintained a distance from Jiang Feng hoping to wear him down before finishing him off. Additionally, Jiang Feng was going the opposite direction of where Elder Yang had originally gone.

Wudi suddenly had an idea and circulated his intent and began to become invisible. He hoped that Jiang Feng wouldn't be able to detect him properly while rushing, and he'd likely be more focused on his wounds than anything else. Jiang Feng was running wildly before he suddenly came to a stop with a look of elation. A scream traveled through the forest as "Wudi you bastard, come back here now!" Jiang Feng thought "I must have lost him" and turned so he could head toward Elder Yang as he felt that Wudi would have run as soon as he heard Elder Yang. But it was at this sudden moment that Jiang Feng screamed, but no sound came out, as his view had suddenly shifted to his headless body as his head rolled through the air.

Wudi, in the sudden moment that Elder Yang yelled and Jiang Feng came to a stop and turned, made his move, pushing his movement technique to the limit. He shot out from nearby trees and sliced Jiang Feng's head off with his own sword. Wudi swiped the bag on Jiang Feng's body before it even hit the ground and didn't stop moving in this whole process, darting off through the trees while still running. Wudi was sweating profusely because Elder Yang was much faster than himself, and Wudi had to move at his greatest speed possible to keep the distance from shortening too much.

Elder Yang was in hot pursuit of Wudi, running as quickly as he could. In fact, he had arrived much earlier than Wudi had anticipated, having realized something wasn't right on the last two occasions when he received locations from Jiang Feng. Unfortunately, he was still too late to save Jiang Feng, who had already been killed by Wudi's swift actions.
