The bald man's expression was just as grave. He nodded to the companion beside him to show he understood, then turned his gaze back to where Tang San stood. Against an enemy with methods this strange, he did not dare be the slightest bit careless.
But things did not go as he wished. In just the instant it took to turn his head and exchange a glance with his companion, when he looked back again, Tang San had already vanished from sight.
"What?"
Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San quickly slipped behind the two of them again. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand blazed with light as he smashed it viciously at the fat man's head. A burst of cracking bone rang out, and when the bald man turned back to look at his companion, all he saw was the fat man's miserable corpse.
"Y-you... Just who are you?"
"The man who's going to kill you."
Tang San's cold, brief words made the bald man's heart pound wildly. After only two brief exchanges, he understood that he was absolutely no match for the person before him. But he did not want to die here. One white, two yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Ring rose in sequence. The bald man's martial soul was a horse-like creature. After activating all of his state-type spirit skills, he fled into the distance at top speed, utterly unwilling to clash head-on with Tang San.
Seeing this, Tang San's lips curled into a cold smile. When it came to speed, he had never been afraid.
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track activated again. With a few flickers, Tang San caught up to the bald man, who was running with all his might, and the Clear Sky Hammer was raised over his head once more.
