Chapter 31 Danger Lurking In The Shadows
Swish!
The trees before Bai Ming looked like they were crashing into him, and he quickly avoided them nimbly, pushing off with his legs.
"There is atleast one core formation realm expert hiding in the dark, fighting head on against a core formation realm expert I stand no chance at all. Currently those two guards are occupied with Xin De's team, their battle will last for more than half an hour. I need to encounter another squad quickly, otherwise my losses will be too great." Bai Ming's thoughts ran amuk, but his expression cold as steel.
The instant he heard those guards refering Luo sheng as young master, Bai Ming already understood the danger he was in. Luo sheng's reputation had spread throughout the entire Xuan mountain even his battle crazy nature was know, Bai Ming was also aware of it. Bai Ming's thoughts were simple, Would the Luo clan be stupid enough to send their greatest genius into enemy territory, of course not! They must have capable individuals protecting him in the dark, But Bai Ming still wanted to confirm it, but there was no way he could sense a core formation realm expert, that is unless the said individuals purposely allows it.
Hence, Bai Ming had infused his voice with spiritual energy and screamed for help, but asking for help was only one of the objectives, cross checking the existence of the core formation realm expert was his true objective. With Bai Ming's cultivation level when he would shout with the help of spiritual energy, there would be sound wave created in the air, even though it wasn't too strong. It was enough to shake the tree leaves which was dozens of meters away from him. But when Bai Ming observed that not a single leaf had moved, he immediately understood that the core formation realm expert had restricted his voice to small area, confirming his suspicious. If that wasn't the case, Bai Ming would have directly fought with Luo sheng and killed him, Bai Ming had much confidence in killing Luo sheng.
"But escaping is also out of the question, they will definitely not let me off, that core formation expert has to be close by, even if I escape this lunatic. The core formation realm expert will find me and kill me himself, he definitely won't let me inform others. My only option is to kill him! As for hoping that someone else might save me, if it happens that's great, but i will never truly put my life in someone else's hands, i can only depend on myself." Bai Ming continued to sprint rapidly.
"How can you be so cruel!? can't you just fulfill my one small wish!?" Luo sheng was screaming non stop. Bai Ming coldly snorted at Luo sheng's words.
Bai Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. He turned to his left and continued to run in that direction.
Luo sheng continued to chase him relentlessly, both Bai and Luo traversed through mountain closely.
But there was one more person quietly following them in the shadows, this person was a skinny old man, the moonlight reflected on his bald head. He was casually keeping up with the youths despite his old age. This person was non other than Luo Cai a core formation realm expert of the Luo clan, he was given the duty of keeping Luo sheng safe, even if he had to die while protecting him.
"This young man is quite impressive, being only a 6th layer elemental realm martial artist he is able to maintain his distance against young master Luo. But it doesn't matter, it won't let him keep his life. Ohh, he wants to gang up on young master, hehe. Then I shall lend young master a hand." Luo Cai's speed increased, leaving after images as he drifted forward.
A dozen breaths latter.
Bai Ming's expression suddenly changed, he slightly frowned "I can't sense them anymore, Hmph! I thought that bastard would only interfere when Luo sheng's life was in danger. But since this is the case nothing can be done, I'll just have to do what I need to do."
Bai Ming didn't stop running until he reached a corpse filled land, there were nearly seven headless corpses lying on ground, the air reeked of blood. Bai Ming had Previously sensed few people here, to think that they would be among the dead within seconds.
Bai Ming stood near the corpses he took out the storage pouch from inside his dress and placed it around his waist, then he took out certain items placing them inside the corpses swiftly. Next,Bai Ming quickly kicked those seven corpses into seven different places.
Luo sheng quickly arrived after, his fiery gaze fixed on Bai Ming, seeing that Bai Ming had no more intentions on running away he shouted in excitement, "Hahaha, come on!"
Saying that he laughed and dashed forward, but his laughter came to an abrupt stop.
Bai Ming placed his treasure sword in his storage pouch and curled both of his palms into fists, it was clear that he was going to fight against Luo sheng using just his fists.
Luo sheng had previously observed Bai Ming fight with his sword, he saw how Bai Ming was able swiftly kill those hell wolves.This created a soaring desire inside Luo sheng to fight against Bai Ming.
But now watching Bai Ming discard his sword against him, Luo sheng felt immense rage boiling inside him, he found Bai Ming's act extremely repulsive. He felt disrespected! He, Luo sheng was treated as a weakling! such Impudence!! How! How dare him!!?
"Bastard!" Luo sheng spoke through gritted teeth, both spiritual essence and killing intent burst forth from him like an ancient volcano.
Bai Ming observed Luo sheng's expression and smiled coldly, Next the ground under Bai Ming's feet cracked under the power of his step. His spiritual energy burst out madly, and plunged towards Luo sheng like a savage Flood Dragon.
Luo sheng coldly snorted before he also rushed forward, thinking in his mind "Hmph! how foolish of you to engage me without using your weapon, wanting to fight against my treasure spear with just your hands and legs, such idiocy. I had high expectations, but such disappointment."
Not even a second had passed but both of them were right in front of each other.
Luo sheng thrusted his spear which was covered in spiritual energy and a mystical qi at Bai Ming's heart, this mystical qi was spear qi.
Bai Ming was fearless has he swung his right fist at the incoming spear. He spoke mentally "Tyrant fist"
Bang!
The demonic fist met the Domineering spear, As the two powerful forces collided, the ground underneath the two of them began to produce thin cracks that spread out like a spider's web. Luo sheng was sent flying backwards like a broken kite, and he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. Even his spear was sent flying off in another direction.
Bam!
Luo sheng crashed on the ground, as he rolled back few meters before finally coming to a stop. Blood tickled down from the corner of his mouth.
"How!? how can this be?"Luo sheng stared with his eyes wide open. But Luo sheng was smart person and had a firm will, he quickly came to a conclusion "He is only an 6th layer elemental realm expert, even if he used a martial technique but against my 9th layer and spear qi how can he have the upper hand? has he also comprehended some some sort of intent or does he have high attainment in the fist path? Wait! that isn't the main problem here, why couldn't my treasure spear cut through his hand.. Don't tell me he is a body cultivator?!?"
"This brat is body cultivator! where did he learn this method from? Till this date there has never been a body cultivator in any of the three Big villages, I have to capture him alive and interrogate him, if we could learn the body cultivation method my Luo clan can rule the Xuan mountain. And i will also be rewarded for my contributions, hehehe. What a fortune! Hahaha" Luo Cai laughed in his heart wildly, his eyes shone with intense greed as he looked at Bai Ming.
"But i should not rush, this is a good opportunity for young master to grow. Even though young master was beaten badly, it was because he didn't use any martial technique. As for that brat, he is a body cultivator along with the help of spiritual essence of 6th layer cultivation and that martial technique he was able to gain the absolute advantage in their previous exchange, but considering young masters personality he should be even more pumped up now, he will also go all out now. But he probably won't win this fight, no matter it will still be good learning process. I shall step in when things get too heated." Luo Cai was staring at Bai Ming fixedly, but he suddenly squinted his eyes as he thought "What is he doing?"
Bai Ming was moving around the battlefield, at times taking out spirit stones and beast cores from his storage pouch and burying them in the ground. His left hand making hand signs while his right hand busy placing items at certain places in the ground.
Bai Ming glanced at Luo sheng, he saw the latter running to pick up his weapon but Bai Ming didn't immediately attack him, his goal was not to kill Luo sheng, it was to buy enough time to set up a formation.
"I have placed 50% of the formation placing the remaining will be difficult, I was able to take advantage of the fact Luo sheng had underestimated me. But that will not be the case anymore, killing is not a difficult but I have to set up this formation while also engaging Luo sheng, using the sword will make it difficult for me to place the formation and it will also cause Luo sheng to be in a more dangerous situation which that expert will not allow now that he has witnessed my strength, but just using my low grade tyrant fist and gaining the upper hand is going to be difficult. And there is also the fact that expert might just come and attack me right now, but even if he comes and attacks me i have some confidence that he won't kill me, after all he must be interested in my secret after all,Sigh..how troublesome." Bai Ming sighed as he moved towards Luo sheng who coming towards him.
