Chapter 1278 - Enemies On A Narrow Path
Despite the distance, Liu Wuxie saw their faces clearly and recognized the two elves who were running away. One of the women had previously helped him neutralize the Faceless clan's attack, allowing him to flee the black lake. Fights between humans and elves were rare, so the humans' pursuit puzzled him.
He shifted his gaze to the two male human pursuers, narrowing his eyes.
"What a coincidence!" Liu Wuxie murmured, murderous intent erupting from his body.
The two pursuers were Li Dayuan and another cultivator at the fifth level of the Primal Origin Realm, likely companions from the same planet. On one side were his benefactors; on the other, his mortal enemies. He did not need to hesitate.
Torrential fighting spirit burst from him as he blurred, and he vanished from the tree, closing a distance of five thousand meters in the blink of an eye.
After fleeing for thousands of miles, the two elves had already exhausted themselves and could collapse at any time, yet they still failed to shake off Li Dayuan.
A few hours earlier, when the two elves rested with their companions in the mountain range, Li Dayuan and the other cultivator attacked him without hesitation.
Without the elves, Liu Wuxie couldn't have escaped, and the Faceless Clan would have intercepted him. The elves' slender figures and fair skin, a natural temptation for male cultivators, and their magic, which could alter physiques and purify the souls of those suffering from inner demons, only made them magnets for greed.
As Li Dayuan reached out to seize the elves, two colossal dragon claws descended from the sky. He reacted in time and retreated at once. The force poured through those claws rivaled that of the high levels of the Primal Origin Realm.
Spent, the two elves sank to the ground to rest. They did not cultivate true essence, but rather magic, whose recovery lagged behind that of the true essence.
"Who is it?!" Li Dayuan roared. He was at the eighth-level Primal Origin Realm, a level by no means low among the various races.
When a figure came into view, he squinted.
