Time slipped by, second by second.
Before long, Qian and Snow Wind left the city one after the other.
Sensing the presence pursuing him relentlessly from behind, the corners of Qian's mouth lifted slightly. Then he suddenly accelerated and dashed toward a stretch of woods.
Behind him, Snow Wind faintly sensed something was wrong, but he still gritted his teeth and followed.
Not long after entering the forest, Qian stopped.
Seeing this, Snow Wind hurriedly stopped as well.
He looked at Qian as he turned around and said gravely, "Who are you? Why did you lure me here?"
That was right. In just that short while, Snow Wind had already figured it out. This person's target had never been the noble he was supposed to protect, but him, the one carrying out the protection mission.
Qian had never expected the spur-of-the-moment plan he had come up with to lure the snake out of its hole to fool the other man for long. As long as the other party followed him out, that was enough.
As for everything else, none of it mattered!
Thinking this, he released his perception and sensed the surroundings. After confirming there was no one else behind them, he prepared to make his move.
However, Snow Wind seemed to have sensed his intention and actually attacked first.
He rapidly formed hand seals, condensed dozens of icy Kunai in front of him, then threw them all at Qian in one go.
Seeing this, Qian raised his brows slightly. Then his figure flickered, and he easily avoided every attack from the icy Kunai.
The whole sequence of movements was as smooth as flowing water.
Seeing this, Snow Wind's already solemn face became even more serious.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately used his family's secret technique—Ice Release: Ice Storm!
