Chapter 159: Stalked
“So you guys finally decided to leave the city, huh?” an unfamiliar man’s voice resounded clearly from above the trio. It sent shivers down their spines as the newcomer unleashed their aura at the same time.
Under this pressure, it became a herculean task for Li Lang to just turn around and look up at the intruder standing on their vehicle.
A Foundation Establishment expert, and not a weak one either! Could it be a rogue demonic cultivator?
“Senior, I’m not sure if you have the right people. We are simple members of The Orchid Covenant,” Li Lang proclaimed while unpinning his badge from his belt for the man to see.
He wanted to ensure he knew they were demonic cultivators, so they wouldn’t become sustenance for some demonic cultivation technique.
“Hmm, I don’t really care where you’re from. Even if you’re from Nightmoon Valley, we would’ve still come. In fact, my brother is dealing with whoever is driving that pitch-black Skyrunner right now.”
His words made the trio to grimace. It meant whoever their assailants were, this attack was targeted, and they had been monitoring them, too. It made the possibility of talking their way out of this way more unlikely.
Li Lang had been hoping their assailant was a simple demonic cultivator as they usually were in a weak mental state if succumbed to their inner demons. He was confident of getting away, if that was all they encountered. If the perpetrators were acting with a purpose, it meant they were sound in mind and able to resist what he had prepared.
He exchanged a quick look with his two companions through the window before glancing up at the man on their roof. His mind raced as he thought up a plan. While his means weren’t enough to allow them to escape entirely, it was still enough to give them a chance at survival.
As if the assailant could read his mind, he wasted no time and swiftly appeared right beside Li Lang. He stood straight as a rod, standing on the edge of the driver’s seat. He then poked his head through the window to inspect its interior, leaving his side open to Li Lang without a care.
“Hmm, I guess they’re not here. Oh well, you don’t always get what you want. Maybe you three can help me have a good time instead.”
It was at this moment the three young men decided to act. They all tapped into their space ring at the same time, materializing several talismans in their hand. They quickly activated them all at once.
