"The formation has dispersed, and the Longevity Pill's aura is gone too," Huang Xiao said, his heart stirring.
The moment the masked man rushed out of the formation, it vanished.
Everyone present sensed the disappearance of the Longevity Pill's aura, and it filled them with fury.
"Trying to escape?" Xuanyuan Song immediately moved forward to block him.
Yet just as Xuanyuan Song advanced, he suddenly gave a muffled grunt and found himself unable to strike.
Apart from Liu Tengfan, the others also closed in.
Although the man's earlier furious shout had made everyone think he had not obtained the Longevity Pill,
who knew whether he had deliberately put on that show for them?
Especially now that the Longevity Pill's aura had vanished, someone must have obtained it. Even if it was not this man, they still had to stop him and question him thoroughly.
But, just like Xuanyuan Song, they all gave muffled grunts, their steps slowing.
Leng Guhan recovered first. With a swish, he drew the Zhanlu Sword, sending a streak of Sword Qi shooting toward the masked man's back.
The masked man sensed the Sword Qi behind him and tried to dodge, but he was a little too late. The Sword Qi still wounded him.
He staggered, then said in a low voice, "The Zhanlu Sword truly is impressive."
Then he swiftly fled.
Xuanyuan Song wanted to give chase, but the Sword Master called him back.
"There's no need to pursue him. There's something very strange about this man," the Sword Master said.
"Indeed, he is far too strange," Leng Guhan said with a frown. "His Divine Sense attacks are very powerful, but his strength is ordinary."
"You're quite right," the Sword Master said. "Even this old man was affected when he was caught off guard just now.
