Stranger Danger

Hundred-formed Old Man knew that he was no match for the young man. That was why he transformed into an ant and played dead. When his opponent discovered that he was missing, he would surely think he had escaped and tried to give chase. Once he was gone, he would be able to walk away unscathed.

In fact, this wasn’t the first time Hundred-formed Old Man had employed this tactic. It had saved him more times than he cared to count.

Not this time though. For the first time ever, his tried and true tactic had failed.

Naturally, his hatred of the woman went from zero to a hundred in an instant. He wanted nothing more than to end her miserable existence.

Although he did not know how the woman was able to discover him, his senses told him that her aura was weak to the point of non-existent. In his opinion, she probably practiced a sensory martial art that gave her supernatural senses, but weak combat power just like him. If he could capture her and use her as a hostage, he might yet be able to get out of this alive.

Almost there, almost there…

The distance between the woman and himself kept narrowing, but the woman did not seem to notice anything at all. Hundred-formed Old Man was overjoyed, of course. He could feel his chances of survival growing every time he got closer to the woman.

He should have paid more attention to his surroundings. If he had, he would have noticed that neither Ye Qing nor Tao Chong was reacting to his movements. Not only were they wearing easy, uncaring smiles on their faces, there were even ripples of sympathy in Tao Chong’s eyes.

Of all the people he could have targeted, he chose Feng Qingyou. That was like an old man eating white arsenic—suicide.
