Chapter 116
Anne was currently running at full speed ahead.
If he moved forward about ten kilometers more, he would enter the Dark Cloud Forest’s outback.
However, the terrains there were more complicated, and monsters might even appear.
Nevertheless, Anne refused to believe that Tony would lead the other warriors and bravely ran after him.
At this time, Anne heard an ear-splitting blast behind him.
When he turned around to take a glance, he saw a ray of fiery-red light slowly rising into the sky like the morning sun, hovering mid-air before blooming.
In an instant, the red light was like a sunray, spreading in all directions.
Anne noticed the eye-catching red light was just right above Tony’s spot before.
“The previous guy’s firework was orange-red, and this time, it’s completely red.” Anne’s heart sank slightly, and he had a bad premonition.
After all, Anne fought in many battles before, and he knew that different colors represented different degrees of severity.
Usually, red would mean an ultimate emergency.
‘It’s better for me to enter the Dark Cloud Forest first.’
After pondering for a while, Anne did not hesitate and rushed into the depth of the dense forest.
The ten kilometers distance did not take him long.
Once he entered the Dark Cloud Forest’s outer back, Anne instantly felt the changes in his surroundings.
The trees were taller and denser, it was dimmer in the area, and there was a strange silence around him.
If an ordinary person came into this forest, they might feel uncomfortable, and over time, they might even lose their mind.
Anne’s willpower was by no means comparable to an average man.
Hence, he was not affected by his surroundings, and he followed the map he memorized as he hurried toward his destination.
As Anne passed through the forest, he was also constantly checking his back.
After a while, he was sure that Tony did not lead the group of Yates family members to chase after him, just like what he had expected.
Just as Anne was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt an extreme chilliness, as if countless steel needles were pricking his pores and stabbing at his bone marrow.
The terrifying sensation was as if he was being preyed on by a wild beast, and in that instant, Anne felt a chill running down his back.
Borrowing his keen sense for danger, Anne abruptly turned around and looked into the distance.
There was a person in black standing beside a boulder about ten kilometers away.
The man silently stood there, unmoved with his head lowered and his long hair falling to his sides, covering his face.
‘When did the guy get there?!’ When Anne saw the man in black, he felt his hair standing on end.
However, he could be sure that he checked the stone before, and there was no one there.
No matter what, the man in black did not appear to be friendly. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
When Anne recalled the red fireworks Tony blasted before, the feeling in Anne’s heart grew stronger.
Facing the man in black, he slowly retreated.
At this time, all of Anne’s muscles were tense, and he was in an unprecedented state of alert.
Even though they never fought each other yet, Anne could feel the intense danger exuding from the man.
“Do you think you can escape?” At this time, the man in black suddenly let out a burst of scornful laughter, and his words sounded extremely clear in this quiet forest.
Anne did not hesitate anymore and hurriedly ran away.
Then, with a loud sound, the man in black also rushed toward Mandra.
In that instant, violent airwaves were created, shaking the surrounding trees as if there was a storm.
The man in black’s speed was faster than what Anne imagined.
As if he was black lightning, he quickly shortened the distance between him and Anne to no more than five meters.
‘That’s fast!’ Anne was shocked.
Soon, as if the man in black’s figure exploded with a loud noise, he spread out all at once.
In a flash, Anne saw the man’s figures everywhere, and he felt as if he was trapped in a vast ocean, suffocated.
‘These are all phantoms! There’s only one true figure!’
Anne took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Then, Anne’s eyes flashed with a bright light as he hurriedly ran, observing the surroundings with his eyes and hearing, looking to find his opponent’s exact trace.
The daily high-intensity practice with Josef in St.
Jade Chamber immensely helped Anne at this moment.
Not long after, a shadow flashed in front of Anne’s eyes.
At the same time, Anne roared, “Eight-Shadowed Fists!”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Facing one of those dozens of phantoms, Anne punched violently, and the attacks that he blasted out were like landmines exploding, causing loud noises in the air everywhere.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, all the imaginary shadows that were constantly moving around disappeared, leaving only one on the scene.
The man in black finally attacked.
“Iron Fists!”
Although Anne saw Iron Fists before, the man in black’s punches was different from Harold’s.
The man in black’s Iron Fist almost instantly blasted away Anne’s punches, and as if his fist was a cannonball, he directly hit Anne’s chest.
The air in the surrounding area was also making ear-splitting noises from the collision.
Anne felt as if he was seeing stars.
Regardless of the man’s speed or strength, he was far beyond Josef’s capabilities.
Almost without any hesitation, Anne quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest.
Bang!
An intense collision sent Anne flying, and he smashed against the tree.
The massive tree instantly fell to the ground, with sawdust everywhere.
Anne turned around mid-air, bent one knee, and supported himself on the ground with one hand.
Then, he slid back three meters to stabilize himself.
Later, Anne looked at the man in black in front of him, and his face darkened as he slowly uttered, ‘Pulse Control Realm.’
The man in black’s strength, speed, and martial skills were better than Anne’s, and even Josef could not beat him.
The only possibility was that this man in black was not a True Martial Realm warrior but a Pulse Control Realm cultivator!
When he saw Anne was not severely injured despite being hit, the man in black’s face showed a sudden look of surprise.
Nevertheless, he quickly recovered his initial cold expression and snorted.
“No wonder you managed to kill my Yates family members.
It seems that you’re somewhat skillful.
You’re right.
I’m the Yates family’s elder, the Pulse Control Realm Sean Yates!”
As soon as he said that, Sean rushed toward Anne like a panther.
This time, he drew the machete from his waist, striking at Mandra.
“I’d like to see where you run to this time!”
