Chapter 55: Game of Chase

"You, bastard Lin Hou! I'll kill you!" Luo Lan shouted and initiated his Qi to sped up.

Bai Xin's face was also ashen. She never liked the third disciple, Lin Hou, and had been itching to give him a beating. If not for the fact that Lin Hou was stronger than them, she would have done that from a long time ago.

Swish!

Wenren Yu and Lin Xiao were still running when Lin Xiao heard the scream from Luo Lan.

"Eh, his surname is the same as me?" Lin Xiao asked while rushing into the forest. The moment he stepped into the forest, he felt a bit relaxed because he knew that there were more places for him to hide here.

"Lin is a common surname."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Lin Xiao nodded. He had never thought about it before and besides; his surname was given by his adoptive parents. As for his real surname before, he completely had no idea and had no interest to find out either.

Swish!

*pant* *pant*

After using Moon Evasion a few times, Lin Xiao clearly felt his Qi was depleted. It seemed that using the skill several times in a row was clearly a big no. It would be much better if they could rest for the time being.

"They're still quite far," Wenren Yu muttered. The noise that Luo Lan and Bai Xin made make it easier for them to determine their position. Right now, he truly felt these disciples were very stupid to make such big noise when they were chasing.

"What are we going to do?"

"Sneak away quietly. Try not to leave any trace."

"Got it."

Krack!

Wenren Yu looked down and noticed that Lin Xiao had stepped onto a branch. His face darkened. "Quietly, Lin Xiao."

"Hehehe."

Lin Xiao focused his attention to his surroundings and paid close attention to where he stepped. It was not dawn yet, so everything was still very dark, making it easier for them to leave if they wanted to.

Shrouded by darkness, who could find them?

Swish!

Lin Hou had arrived into the forests. He was faster than Bai Xin and Luo Lan, but he also stopped in his track for the time being. His eyes swept the area with a frown.

'Where are those intruders?'

He was still at body training stage, meaning that he couldn't use his Qi too freely and still extremely limited. Because of that, he didn't dare to use his skill so much because it would only make it difficult for him to move afterwards.

But even then, he failed to trace their track.

Lowering his eyes, he saw the sight of broken branch on the ground and sneered. Those stupid fools couldn't even step properly.

Bang!

Behind him, Luo Lan made such a big noise as usual as he stormed into the forest with Bai Xin not far from him. The two of them didn't have good movement skill because they focused on other skills.

"Lin Hou, where are they?"

"This direction."

"Ok!~ Let's give those people a good beating for interrupting our morn…"

Bletak!

Bai Xin hit Luo Lan's head. "You're the one disrupting someone's morning by barging in. Didn't you learn how to knock doors?"

"Stop it!"

Swish!

The two of them didn't seem to be able to focus on the task on hand and already quarreled once more. Lin Hou ignored those two and moved forward. His eyes were scanning the surroundings carefully.

There were still some traces left on the ground and on the trees. While it might not be that visible, it was still more than enough for him to follow the intruders deep into the forest. Unlike the duo, Lin Hou was silent in his attempt to pursue the two intruders. Slowly but surely, he heard faint movements from the front.

'Got them.'

Initiating Moon Evasion, Lin Hou traveled several meters at once. When he saw what was in front of him, he was shocked.

Splash!

Bang!

Under the water, Lin Hou was about to stabilized himself when a punch landed on his face. It was not hurt that much, but as a proud disciple, how could he let himself be beaten up that easily?

Maneuvering his body inside the water, Lin Hou also threw a punch.

Bang! Bang!

The water slowed their movements, but it was needless to say that both sides continued to punch without thinking of the consequences. The only difference that was visible was the fact that the amount of Qi they held were different.

Wenren Yu circled behind Lin Hou. He was also at lower stage compared to Lin Hou, so he swiftly raised his legs.

Kick!

'Damn it!'

Lin Xiao used the chances that Wenren Yu created and threw another Mountain Punch to Lin Hou. Internally, he was thinking that inside the water the power of his punch was greatly reduced and it was quite annoying. He would need to train how to punch under the water in the future.

Bang!

After landing the last punch, Lin Xiao noticed the sign that Wenren Yu made. He swiftly turned his attention to the rocky and muddy wall of the river and threw a punch. The water instantly turned dirty.
