Bab 75: Chapter 75: Hunter and Prey
...
Swoosh~
A figure swiftly passed through the silent streets, as fast as a startled phoenix, breaking the sound barrier and heading towards the city gate of Suotuo.
And where this figure passed, in the blink of an eye, several other figures flashed by, chasing after the previous one.
Damn it! How is this person so fast?
Black-robed Soul King hurriedly pursued, his eagle-like gaze fixed on the figure ahead, feeling extremely shocked.
As a Five-ring Soul King, he couldn't catch up to a Three-ring Soul Elder, even with full speed and the use of a soul skill that could increase his own speed. This was unbelievable.
If this person could escape from their encirclement with his Soul Elder strength, what would happen if he had the power of a Soul Ancestor level? Unimaginable.
If given a dozen more years, he would likely become a legend.
However, he was maintaining a certain distance from Zeng Yi and hadn't pulled away much. He knew that this Ronin Yi, despite his speed, couldn't be caught up to right now. However, running at this speed must consume a significant amount of soul power. As long as this person's soul power was exhausted, he could naturally catch up. He refused to believe that his Soul King level of soul power couldn't surpass that of a Soul Elder.
Under the cover of night, Zeng Yi swiftly fled, closely followed by the black-robed man, with several others behind him.
At the northern gate of Suotuo city, several soldiers in armor with spears in hand were casually chatting, boasting about the interesting events of the day.
But suddenly, it seemed like they felt something flash through the city gate, followed by a gust of strong wind slamming into them.
After two breaths, a faintly visible figure swiftly passed through the gate, causing another gust of oppressive wind to hit them, this time with great force. The intense pressure, like a mountain crushing down on them, made the several guards tremble uncontrollably. However, this terrifying pressure disappeared in an instant.
"Is... is that a ghost?" one soldier turned pale with fear, his voice trembling.
In the middle of the night, a strange figure suddenly flashed by their eyes, accompanied by a chilling breeze, which was quite terrifying.
"That...I think it's a Soul Master."
The only Soul Master among them said, but his voice also trembled, his face filled with fear.
This level of soul power aura should be at least Soul Ancestor level!
After seven or eight seconds, they saw four black-robed individuals swiftly rush out of the city gate.
"This..."
They've left the city!
Zeng Yi, who was rapidly moving, narrowed his silver eyes and quickly removed the black wristbands on his hands and the waistband around his waist, placing them in the space bracelet.
These three things were the weight rings Zeng Yi had been carrying. Since leaving the Sunset Forest, Zeng Yi had started wearing these auxiliary rings for training. With the improvement of his strength, the weight capacity had increased to a shocking level, meaning Zeng Yi had been moving around with a weight of one thousand jin.
Once the weight was off his body, Zeng Yi instantly felt lighter, and his soul power circulated faster. His speed reached its peak, and with a few flickers, he distanced himself from the black-robed Soul King.
Damn it! How did his speed suddenly increase so much?
Seeing Zeng Yi instantly pull away, the black-robed Soul King cursed angrily in his heart.
Now what? I can't catch up to him anymore.
Watching Zeng Yi disappear from his sight, the black-robed Soul King felt extremely anxious. He hadn't expected that for the sake of dealing with this person, they had even dispatched Soul King-level experts. The opponent's strength surpassed them by two levels. They thought it would be a stable success but failed to catch him in the end.
This mission was unfinished, and he would certainly face punishment when he returned. That wasn't a big deal, but if the forces behind this kid started investigating, his life would be in danger.
On the other side, Zeng Yi shook off the others and stopped on a giant rock.
"Xiao Ju." Zeng Yi softly called out, and Xiao Ju emerged from his clothes collar, looking at Zeng Yi with a puzzled expression.
Zeng Yi grabbed Xiao Ju by its neck, lifted it up, placed it on the rock, and then took out the mimetic cloth from the space bracelet, covering Xiao Ju with it.
"Meow?"
Xiao Ju was puzzled by Zeng Yi's actions. Its little head poked out of the cloth, meowing with confusion, and looked at Zeng Yi expectantly.
Xiao Ju's appearance made Zeng Yi unconsciously extend his palm and gently stroke its head with a doting expression.
"I may not be able to take care of you for a while, so Xiao Ju, please wait here obediently. I'll be back soon, understand?"
"Meow~"
Xiao Ju humanized its response, nodded, and then hid inside the mimetic cloth, blending into the surroundings as if it had disappeared altogether.
Seeing this, Zeng Yi smiled satisfactorily.
Since he stopped running, he had only one goal—to fight against those people.
Initially, Zeng Yi ran because causing a disturbance in the city would not only disrupt others' rest but also attract the attention of other Soul Masters. What if a stronger Soul Master came? So he diverted the battlefield to the wilderness, where Zeng Yi had more room to maneuver.
It had been a long time since Zeng Yi had fought with all his strength. The last time was when he obtained his third soul ring in the Sunset Forest, battling a Soul Beast of about four thousand years. It had been a year since then.
Since leaving the forest, he hadn't encountered a true opponent of the same level. He wasn't pressured by Soul Ancestors, and he hadn't fought against Soul Ancestors either. He had no idea about the strength of a Soul Ancestor, but he estimated it would be manageable. As for Soul Emperor-level experts with six rings, he probably wouldn't be a match for them given his current strength. However, a Soul King... a new one who had just broken through, a level fifty-one Soul King; Zeng Yi really wanted to test his skills against this person and see where his strength was at its limits.
"Finally, I can have an all-out fight." Zeng Yi's indifferent silver eyes glanced at the bright moon in the sky, murmuring lightly.
In the previous battles at the Battle Spirit Arena, he had always been careful to control his strength, fearing that someone might be killed by accident with a single strike. But now, well, they were enemies after all, so there was no need to hold back anymore. Could he just cut loose?
Facing 3 Soul Elders, 2 Soul Ancestors, and 1 Soul King all by himself, Zeng Yi felt no fear but rather extreme excitement.
He was someone who yearned for battles!
"You also have that desire, right!"
Zeng Yi looked at his right hand, holding Ronin Sword, with his indifferent silver eyes.
Buzz~
In response to Zeng Yi's words, Ronin Sword, the sword in his hand, trembled slightly, flickering with a faint blue light, as if responding to its master's words.
Feeling the message transmitted by Ronin Sword, Zeng Yi's lips curved slightly.
Since that's the case, let's go, partner!
Zeng Yi turned around, stepped on the ground, and swiftly headed in the direction where the black-robed individuals were chasing.
Let's see who the hunter is and who is the prey!
