"Wretched beast, trying to run?!"
Lugu sneered. His blood and qi surged as he moved like a ferocious tiger, closing in on the burly Barbarian man in brocade within a few strides.
The brocaded man had not expected Lugu's Movement Technique to be so fast. His face instantly turned pale, and he immediately took out a piece of bone, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit down, crushing it.
But Lugu's hand had already clamped onto his shoulder. With a fierce squeeze, the sound of bones shattering rang out.
Yet the brocaded man did not make a sound.
Lugu's expression shifted slightly. He exerted force and yanked, actually tearing an entire layer of human skin from the brocaded man's body.
No one knew what sort of sorcery it was, but it made the brocaded man shed a layer of skin alive, like a giant python shedding its skin, thus escaping pursuit.
Having shed a layer of skin, the brocaded man had lost not only his brocade robes, but even his skin. Slick and bare like a bloody flesh eel, he darted into a nearby Secret Chamber, slammed into a hidden wall, and vanished.
Lugu rushed forward and discovered that behind the wall was an empty, pitch-black passageway branching in all directions.
Lugu was furious. Without the slightest hesitation, he jumped straight in.
But after a while, he crawled back out, covered in black mud, his expression utterly grim.
No one knew what kind of place lay behind that wall. It was filthy and reeked unbearably. He had jumped inside, yet he could not find his bearings at all, nor could he catch that traitor. He could only return in a rage, still clutching the layer of skin he had torn off.
Mo Hua asked, "Lost him?"
Lugu nodded.
