Chapter 91: Playing Tag With The Enemy

"I guess an ordinary Rank 2 talisman can't possibly kill a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm..."

Suddenly a black-cloaked man appeared in Yin Jianhong's sight and stood where he was before.

Yin Jianhong frowned as he couldn't feel the slightest bit of aura from this person. He couldn't even see through this guy's cultivation base.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

"Yada, yada~ I used this cloak because I didn't want people to recognize me. Yet, you still expect me to introduce myself in front of you? Silly."

This black-cloaked man shrugged his shoulders as he taunted Yin Jianhong's question.

However, a second later, he froze.

"Wait, you can see me?!"

The black-cloaked man pointed his own finger at his face, which was revealed a shocked expression beneath the hood.

"Eh~ Even though I'm pretty sure I'm wearing my Hidden Night Cloak. As expected, Senior Brother Li Hai's words are true, this artifact is useless in front of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm..."

This full-complained black-cloaked man is none other than Qin Yi.

He intended to find Wu Kun and help him get out of the mountain that had been enveloped in this devious formation.

However, when he randomly jumped around using Void Jump, he accidentally arrived at this place and saw the robed man about to slash the defenseless Wu Kun with his sword.

Wu Kun was very lucky that Qin Yi had loitered this place during his investigation. If he were a second late, Wu Kun's head would have been separated from his neck just now.

Meanwhile, Yin Jianhong was annoyed to hear this answer, then he snorted and said: "Never mind, it's not like I want to hear the answer from someone who is about to die!"

As those words fell, Yin Jianhong's figure swept out in an instant, and the black sword in his hand released a sword aura containing thick killing intent, forming a sword net to cover Qin Yi.

Looking at the giant net of sword aura, Qin Yi's eyes flashed deep. He lifted Wu Kun's body on his arms and swiftly jumped into the void.

Shortly after Qin Yi disappeared, cracks broke out on the ground, followed by thick dust that obstructed Yin Jianhong's vision.

"Uwah, that's close!"

Qin Yi wiped the nonexistent sweat on his forehead.

He stood atop a tree while holding a corpse-like Wu Kun in his arms.

A touch of surprise appeared on Yin Jianhong's face as he watched the other party suddenly appear in a different place.

However, as a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, his vision was naturally sharp.

He could see that the other party didn't make a lightning-speed movement to move to a different location but made a small jump.

However, after the other party jumped, he immediately disappeared from his place and reappeared in a different place.

Is that a high-grade movement skill?

"What an interesting movement skill. If you leave that movement skill of yours to me, maybe I will consider to spare the two of you."

Yin Jianhong lowered his sword and offered a generous deal to the other party.

In response to this, Qin Yi pinched his chin as he considered Yin Jianhong's offer for a while before he answered offhandedly.

"I can't give you my movement skill, but it's not impossible... how about this, if you managed to catch me, I'll give this movement skill of mine to you. I also don't mind if you want my life and the life of the person I'm carrying."

Well, now what should he do?

Qin Yi's brain circulated rapidly.

Dealing with this person head-on is out of the question. Not to mention, he's not good at melee combat. Even if he attacked this person from a distance, he bet that this person would definitely come to him directly.

However, the main concern here was that their cultivation bases were vastly different, like heaven and earth.

While Qin Yi has the cultivation base at the Fifth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm, the cultivation base of this person is at Foundation Establishment Realm.

Can he win over this guy? 

It is delusional!

It's not like Qin Yi has an ultimate attack that can jump up to a different realm like the other protagonists.

All he could rely on right now were Rank 2 Thunder Blast Talismans.

But as you can see, that person can avoid it easily.

After all, the biggest shortcoming of talismans is their slow-casting. 

Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had high spiritual perceptions. They could easily sense the energy fluctuations generated by the Thunder Blast Talisman so that they could evade that blast on time.

Sure, the explosion the Thunder Blast Talismans create is terrifying, but what good is it if the enemy can dodge it?

Qin Yi's shoulders were sweating a little.

This was not the first time he had faced a Foundation Establishment Realm, but he still wasn't really sure what to do. 

After all, the one he faced previously was Li Hai.

However, Li Hai was different; he was Qin Yi's senior brother.

He would not blindly attack his junior brother. In fact, he took great care toward his junior brother.

But the person Qin Yi was currently facing was different; this guy was an enemy that wouldn't hesitate to kill him at any moment.

For now, Qin Yi's only option was to run away.

He didn't want to overestimate himself in front of a Foundation Establishment Realm even if he had a system to assist him.

This might be the best chance to try Extreme Extraction, but getting close to his enemy was risky.

'Nevermind, let's escape!' Qin Yi finally resolved himself.

Meanwhile...

"What a cocky fellow, don't regret what you've said just now!"

As a veteran cultivator in the Mid-Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm, he had just felt greatly belittled by this black-robed person whose cultivation base was unknown.

However, since this black-robed person didn't dare to face him head-on, it was likely that this person's cultivation base was below him.

Such a weakling dared to speak to him like that. Of course, Yin Jianhong felt angry.

It seemed that this was the first time he, a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, was belittled by a Qi Condensation Realm.

Yin Jianhong swore that he would not let them die so easily once he caught this sneaky rat.

Qin Yi smiled and said playfully, "Then, our play tag starts now~."

After he said that, he immediately jumped into the void and disappeared from the top of the tree.

Witnessing this, Yin Jianhong grinned and said, "If you think you can run from me, then should I say you are naive?"

Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm possessed a very wide range of spiritual sense and extraordinary speed.

Even if the black-cloaked man possessed exceptional movement skills, as long as he or she was within Yin Jianhong's spiritual sense range, Yin Jianhong could easily overtake him and even catch him.

With that said, Yin Jianhong immediately spread his spiritual sense.

However, something unexpected happened...

"How is it possible?"

Yin Jianhong couldn't find them within the range of his spiritual sense.

As a cultivator in the Mid-Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm, Yin Jianhong's spiritual sense range had already exceeded 200 meters from him, and yet, he still couldn't find that black-cloaked person!

Even if that movement skill is extraordinary, it wouldn't be possible to move out of the range of his spiritual sense in such a short time.

"Could it be that the movement skill that person mastered is a Heaven-Grade movement skill?"

No—

Although Heaven-Grade martial arts were extraordinary, it was quite unlikely to allow the user to exert that kind of speed.

So, another reasonable answer is an artifact or special bloodline.

Either of the two, Yin Jianhong couldn't be sure which was the correct answer. Either way, he could make it clear once he caught the black-cloaked man.

"If it's because of an artifact..."

Yin Jianhong couldn't help but form a greedy look on his face.

No matter what, he had to get it!

However, if it was a special bloodline, he still needed to eliminate that person because it could become a variable threat to the Blood Crimson Sect.

With that kind of mind, Yin Jianhong did not stay in this place for too long, as he immediately moved while constantly spreading his spiritual senses to find the target.

Anyway, the target couldn't escape from this mountain because the Blood Unity Formation already covered this entire mountain. Even Yin Jianhong required permission from His Excellency Red Blood King to get out of this mountain.

Thinking his target could only run around the cage, Yin Juanhoing couldn't help but smile in amusement.

***

On the other hand, the person Yin Jianhong was looking for had actually gotten out of this unnamed mountain.

Qin Yi entered the forest and found a remote cave there.

He lay Wu Kun's body down on the floor and immediately checked his condition.

"Uwaah, this guy is beyond saving!"
