Chapter 398: Ambush Killing
A black shadow suddenly flashed into some dense bushes within the thick forest. His gaze passed through the gaps between the branches and eyed a spot under a large tree, which was only a hundred meters away. Over ten human figures were temporarily resting near that spot.
Xiao Yan lifted his head and eyed the weather from within the dense forest. He hesitated for a moment, his breathing was so calm that there was not the slightest fluctuation. Although his target was in front of him, he was not in a hurry to strike. Besides, Fan Ling was a Dou Ling, while the two old men by his side also had strength which were around that of the Dou Ling class. Adding some other guards whose strength were quite strong, even Xiao Yan, with the help of Yao Lao, would have difficulty completely dealing with all of them within a short period of time. Therefore, he must search for the best opportunity to strike. Otherwise, it would likely be a little troublesome once he exposed himself. The strength of the Blood Sect could, after all, be considered quite strong even in the ‘Black-Corner Region’.
Xiao Yan’s gaze was focused intently on Fan Ling’s group. The other party rested for nearly ten minutes before they finally stood up once again. Just as Xiao Yan thought that they would hurry forward continuing the route earlier, however, the group of people suddenly made a huge turn, and directly rushed toward the western side of ‘Black Mark City’.
“Uh.” Xiao Yan was startled as he saw Fan Ling’s group suddenly change direction. His expression immediately changed slightly. Was he discovered? This thought flashed in his heart for a moment before it was automatically thrown out. The strongest person of Fan Ling’s group was a Dou Ling, so it was impossible for them to discover his Qi. Moreover, even if they discovered him, something like changing their path would not happen. After all, someone whose strength on the surface was merely that of the Da Dou Shi class was not sufficient to cause them to be this afraid.
“What are these people planning?” A trace of doubt flashed across Xiao Yan’s heart. His toes gently pressed down on the tree branch and his body was like a bat in the night, gently gliding forward and landing on a huge tree. After which, he once again closely followed the group in front.
The two groups of people, with one in the front and one at the back, was merely a hundred meters apart as they hurried toward the western side of the ‘Black Mark City’. After this rushing continued for twenty minutes, Yao Lao’s deep voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Yan’s heart, “Little fellow, be a little more careful. There are quite a number of strong presences hidden in the cove in front. Among them, there is one who is even quite a lot stronger than the Dou Huang’s Qi at the auction house earlier. Moreover, the Qi is as dark and cold as ice. It is very similar to the Qi of Fan Ling.”
The body, which was charging forward, suddenly paused at these sudden words of Yao Lao. Xiao Yan’s expression changed drastically as he forcefully turned his body and hid himself behind a tree. In his heart, he said with shock, “Have we fallen into someone’s trap?”
“It doesn’t appear so.” Yao Lao mused out loud, “From the looks of how they are hiding their presence, it appears that they are lying in wait. Do they need to spend so much effort to deal with you, who is a weak Da Dou Shi?”
“Ambush?” Xiao Yan’s face turned grim before he sighed in relief. His brows were full of doubt as he said, “But for a strong Dou Huang to lead a large group of people to lay hidden and preparing for an ambush here... what are they trying to do?”
