Chen Ye glanced back at Gao Yunheng and the others following him. Including the Blade-Axe Slave, there were no fewer than ten of them.
The three men at the front wore plain hemp robes and walked with light, nimble steps.
Anyone could tell at a glance that these men possessed cultivation—and that they were far from simple opponents like Wei Zi'ang.
One of them had a deep, restrained aura, his breathing fierce as fire. He was likely already an expert of the Dragon Elephant Realm.
Although Chen Ye had completed Mortal Shedding nine times, he had yet to condense force and advance to the Dragon Elephant Realm. But in terms of actual combat strength, he did not fear Dragon Elephant Martial Masters who had undergone Mortal Shedding fewer than nine times.
However, seeing that the opposing side had the advantage in numbers, he had no intention of clashing with them head-on.
Chen Ye turned and continued burrowing deeper into the woods.
This Hunting Ground had been abandoned for years and left untended, so shrubs grew everywhere.
Snow still lingered in the mountains and forests, not yet completely melted.
Together with the fallen, withered trees lying every which way, it formed a natural barrier.
Chen Ye could use the complex terrain to conceal himself, circling around as he split up the pursuers.
He lowered his body and sped through the shadows between the trees.
The three men led by Gao Yunheng gradually pulled away from the Blade-Axe Slave behind them by virtue of their cultivation, pursuing him relentlessly.
One of the Xie Family Retainers grew irritated when he saw that he could never catch up.
He abruptly stopped, clenched both fists, and crossed them before his chest as True Qi surged through his body.
Streaks of crimson Force Energy appeared before
