At the foot of the mountain.
A dark figure stared solemnly at the silhouette in the shadows across from him.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his hand slowly went behind him, reaching for the small dagger on his waist without any sound.
"Who are you? What skill is there in hiding and showing your tail?"
"Want me to come out? That depends on whether you have the ability! Take this!"
With a reprimanding voice coming from the shadows, a strong gust of wind was heading straight towards the dark figure.
The dark figure instinctively dodged, his upper body flashing backward, avoiding the sneak attack from his opponent. The gust of wind went straight past him and sharply embedded itself into a small tree behind him, causing the tree to shake violently.
It was actually a stone!
Such a formidable Inner Strength, and such profound martial arts!
