At the edge of the city, two figures were running at full speed.
The surrounding area was a silent wilderness, without the slightest sound.
Wu Ze and Shen Youtao had sprinted all the way without stopping once.
Now that they had reached this deserted place, they could finally stop and catch their breath.
"Whew..."
Their desperate escape had consumed a great deal of stamina, leaving them panting heavily.
Wu Ze raised a hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said to his companion, "That young man was terrifying."
Shen Youtao nodded in agreement. "Yeah! Although the Spiritual Energy fluctuation he gave off was only at the Second-Order Early Stage, I don't think that was the extent of his strength."
"Indeed. Even someone at the Second-Order Mid Stage wouldn't be as fierce as him." Wu Ze still felt shaken.
Whenever he recalled the enemy's crushing, withered-branches-before-a-storm fighting style, his heart couldn't help trembling.
"Luckily, he didn't chase us. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have escaped this disaster." Shen Youtao looked grim.
"Maybe, just as he said at the beginning, he only came looking for that cat and wasn't interested in us..." Wu Ze said.
"Damn it, all he does is cause me trouble. If he hadn't caught that cat, we wouldn't have ended up in this state." Shen Youtao thought of the underling who had caught the cat and gnashed his teeth in anger.
"Enough. Don't think about it anymore. Our priority now is to find somewhere safe to settle down."
"You're right."
"Where are we going next?"
"Follow me. I prepared a safe house nearby."
After resting for a while, the two set off again.
This time, they didn't continue sprinting toward the wilderness. Instead, they changed direction and ran toward a village on the outskirts.
About twenty minutes
