Chapter 244: Binding Edict and Spoken Word Manifestation
Pebbles no bigger than fingertips came whistling through the air and smacked into the backs of their heads.
Ren Wenlie took one slightly off to the side. With only a red lump swelling up at once, he was still fine.
Qu Jingzhang, on the other hand, took several solid hits, and his skull cracked with a sickening snap.
They both knew at once they had been ambushed. Qu Jingzhang spun around to face Li Banfeng, while Ren Wenlie bolted in the opposite direction.
Their different reactions had nothing to do with cultivation. It was because of their different down experiences.
Qu Jingzhang had crossed paths with Wanderlust Cultivators before. He knew that one should never have their backs facing a Wanderlust Cultivator. If he did, he wouldn't survive.
Ren Wenlie had also encountered Wanderlust Cultivators and knew he shouldn't turn his back to Li Banfeng. However, he made this choice because he knew Qu Jingzhang well. Given his temperament, Qu Jingzhang would surely turn back and fight for his life.
Seeing Ren Wenlie run, Qu Jingzhang panicked. He wanted to flee as well, but didn't dare turn his back towards Li Banfeng.
The chance of a Moralism Cultivator fighting a Wanderlust Cultivator alone and winning was very low. However, it was already too late for him to run.
