"After him!" Rage seared Chu Grand Elder's heart. Not only had they lost five capable fighters this time, but one of their exceedingly precious Azure Cranes had been carried off as well.
If he really let this brat escape, how would he ever show his face in Ming City once word got out?
But the Azure Cranes were all about equally fast. Tang Yan was ahead, and the two Azure Cranes behind him could not catch up, merely maintaining a certain distance.
After pursuing Tang Yan for a quarter of an hour without catching him, the Grand Elder began to grow anxious. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. There was a mountain peak ahead.
After they flew past it, Tang Yan heard a boom and saw the Grand Elder draw up a boulder with suction, then chop it straight into chunks of stone.
Tang Yan's heart jolted. Fuck, is this old bastard planning to throw rocks at me?
"Whoosh!"
Sure enough, just as Tang Yan had expected, a stone came whistling toward him. Its target was not Tang Yan, but the Spirit Crane he was riding.
Sensing the true qi of a Heaven Tier expert contained in that stone, Tang Yan drew a deep breath and swung the Wuxie Sword. Using Tai Chi's principle of moving a thousand pounds with four ounces, he easily deflected the fiercely hurtling stone before the astonished eyes of the Chu Family members behind him!
Seeing his strike miss, the Grand Elder felt even more stifled and took several more stones in his hand.
Tang Yan had been watching the Grand Elder closely. When he saw five stones in the man's hand, his heart sank slightly.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Five successive sounds of air being pierced rang out, and Tang Yan nearly cursed aloud.
