Yang Zhai was running with all his might, trying to leave the Mantora Mountain as soon as possible. With the new strength he obtained, his running speed had increased.
"I need to leave this place as soon as possible before morning comes."
Right now, he was activating five green lines together, hiding his aura as well as his presence.
"If I am right, I have exactly one hour and thirty-nine minutes left before my presence would become visible again."
"I could take those two cultivators down easily because they were caught off guard. If they had seen me coming, they would have easily dodged and run away. Otherwise, even though they wouldn't be able to take me down or be my match, they would have alerted the whole mountain right away
…..
"Are you sure?!"
"Yes! Master Mu, I am sure I saw Tzu Yu running on the east side of the mountain. He was hiding from our cultivators!"
"Then why didn't you capture him?!"
"About that, I tried, but… when I reached the place, he wasn't there, and I also couldn't detect him…"
"No worries. He is just a rank 5 cultivator. He can't go that far. Send as many rank six cultivators as possible! Even though I don't think it would be necessary, you should accompany them as well."
Mu Kang was in a hurry to capture Tzu Yu. As such, he sent out many rank six cultivators.
"Make sure to capture him alive. I want to torture him for as long as he lives. How dare he fool us!"
"Yes, master. And about sending out cultivators, I already did as soon as I saw him."
"Good. Now go and lead the cultivators."
…..
Meanwhile, Yang Zhai had already left the Mantora Mountain.
He was going to leave this continent and move to his next destination. This mountain was the last obstacle he wanted to visit before leaving.
However, even though he had already crossed the obstacle, he wasn't out of danger.
"Stop right there!"
A voice came from the front.
He came to a stop and looked straight ahead, only to see six rank 6 cultivators who were purposely releasing their aura to intimidate him.
He looked behind. However, there were also four cultivators behind him. This wasn't all—there were also three rank 7 cultivators on the side.
"I see. It seems like the Mantora Mountain either values the Torus that much or wants to get rid of me to prevent rumors spreading that a mere kid managed to deceive an immortal mountain filled with high-rank cultivators," he said.
"Tzu Yu! This is the end! Just give up and hand over the unique Torus. We might let you die peacefully!"
A rank 7 cultivator shouted.
"Fine, but on one condition!" he replied.
"What is it?!"
For now, we need the Torus back in good condition. We can torture him later.
"Promise me you guys will hear me out! You will give me the chance to explain myself! I promise to tell you the truth and hand back the Torus!"
"Good! Let's do that!"
They slowly came closer to him and stopped when they were 100 meters near him.
"But what I am most interested in is how you managed to bypass so many guards. After all, there are guards all around the mountain guarding it at all times, especially now because of you."
A rank 6 cultivator kept closing in on Yang Zhai while releasing an intimidating aura.
On the other hand, Yang Zhai was already on his knees.
He can't even resist fearing our aura. How did he manage to bypass so many guards?
"Now, stand up and answer."
The rank 6 false immortal stood right in front of Yang Zhai. He ordered with a terrifying aura, as if demanding total submission.
Yang Zhai slowly looked up and said,
"Please… forgive me…"
"Forgive yo—" He hadn't even completed speaking his words when he suddenly came to a stop.
Everyone saw blood splatter everywhere.
Everyone on the spot was left flabbergasted. Their eyes were wide open. A hint of disbelief.
"What's… happening here… Everyone! Get away!"
Even the rank 7 cultivators were in utter disbelief. However, a rank 7 quickly reacted and warned everyone.
They were all jolted awake from their stupor and reacted to the voice. They all jumped back.
However, Yang Zhai was a little faster than they were. The moment he smashed the rank 6 cultivator's head, he didn't stop. He went ahead and jumped for another one.
He tried to go for the rank 7 this time but couldn't, as their distance was a little farther than the nearest rank 6 to him. As such, he changed his course of action right before the second foot left the ground.
The rank 6 cultivator leaned slightly backward, attempting to retreat. Seeing Yang Zhai directly in front of him, he activated a defensive method. Yet his skin was only partially shielded by scales when Yang Zhai's hand pierced his skull. After withdrawing his hand, the scales fully enveloped the cultivator's head and body.
However, as the head was pierced from the middle, the scales also began to cover the pierced area from between.
Only one eye of the cultivator was left intact; the other eye had been pierced by Yang Zhai's hand.
The first rank 6 cultivator had not yet fallen to the ground when the second man was already dead.
This is how the fights of experts go—miss one second, and you are dead, Yang Zhai thought
He was activating twenty lines altogether.
The first ones were the blue lines, which granted him a toughened body, including bones, veins, muscles, and skin. It made his body as tough as 6,561 bulls. After that were the yellow lines, granting him vision that allowed him to see clearly as far as 4.08 miles.
The third lines were the green lines, allowing him to hide his presence for a total of one hour and forty-nine minutes. Finally, there were the orange lines. Activating all five lines granted him the power of 6,561 bulls combined.
Right now, he was moving forward with just these four and was not activating another cultivation method.
Activating other methods wasn't going to help him in this battle. All of his opponents were rank 6 or higher.
"Activating five blue lines together granted me a body capable enough to hold the power of all five orange lines together."
"If only I had the red lines in my arsenal as well…"
