Chapter 64: The Hunt
In Jindu City, a distant view reveals, in the clouds, flashes of sword light, between the heavens and earth, thunder and fire seas, the sound of heaven and earth tearing asunder, resounds continuously. Clearly, as the explosions grow more intense, the battle’s intensity is also escalating.
Even if one cannot see, they can hear clearly; this crackle, boom, boom, earth-shattering, spectacularly lively. Clearly, the Shen sisters are caught in a fierce battle, surrounded by pursuing soldiers closing in from all sides.
The hawks and hounds of Kun Country are swarming from all directions, endlessly, like vultures and jackals, eyeing those two pieces of tender meat, ready to compete for credit and seize the opportunity.
But what’s strange is that the mantis and the yellow sparrow follow closely behind, crouching not too far or near on the ground, seemingly indifferent to the carnage before them.
Of course, the Treasure Shopkeeper is very anxious and concerned. He looks at the eunuch foe, buried under the earth with just his head exposed, afar from where he stands, and then at ’Xiao Liu’, brought along to escape into the ground, who similarly says nothing, buried silently in the soil.
"Young Hero Liu, shouldn’t we get going? If the Shen family meets their end, and that eunuch turns tail and runs, it could just be..."
Tie Dan gave him a sideways glance,
"What’s your hurry, didn’t you hear?"
"Hear what...?"
The Shopkeeper tilted his ear, listening to the battle still unfolding enthusiasm right there with its crackle, boom boom boom.
