A day later, at dusk.
Lu Changsheng had just finished clearing out a mine and was preparing to leave.
Just as he arrived beneath a large tree, an unexpected change struck.
A burly middle-aged man in a blue martial outfit emerged from the forest not far away. Murderous intent blazed in his eyes, and his face was brimming with ferocity.
"Kid, I finally found you. You dared to run wild near Black Mountain? You're courting death."
The man's tone was chilling.
The chief had dispatched several Bone Forging experts to thoroughly investigate the mines being cleared out. After tracking the trail all the way here, he had already been simmering with rage.
Today, he had finally found the culprit.
With his late-stage Bone Forging strength, he was more than capable of killing this young man who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Die."
He swiftly raised his blade and slashed forward.
Explosions rang through the air, its momentum incomparably fierce.
He had put his full strength into this strike, holding nothing back.
Lu Changsheng gave a cold smile.
He swiftly activated Nine Spiral Transformations. Several afterimages instantly appeared on the field, as though he had shifted positions in an instant.
"Whoosh..."
The long blade struck directly through an afterimage. Blade Aura tore through the tree trunks ahead, and leaves drifted down all around, yet there was no sign of anyone.
"What speed! What an incredible movement technique!"
The middle-aged man's face was full of shock.
In the blink of an eye, the other party had vanished from the area, far faster than he was.
"When did Changping County gain such an expert? No, I have to return and report this to the chief..."
The man turned and fled, quickly disappearing into the dense forest.
Two hours later.
