Book 15: Chapter 106
It was fleeting, but Ming Feizhen sensed someone spying on them just before; however, he didn’t find the person hiding in the shadow when he landed on a building far from Dongpo. The presence he picked up on was barely noticeable, but it seemed as though the individual didn’t try to deliberately conceal their appearance. Instead, their presence just seemed to be that faint. Nobody on the radar resembled that presence, though. Suddenly, Ming Feizhen looked up to the peak of a tree to spot a silhouette rise from it.
Black crows…
The individual tied a thread to the feet of several alerted birds in order to bounce up. Every time Ming Feizhen landed after a jump, he noticed the distance between them increased over a dozen metres. The last place he landed was a residential zone one kilometre from Dongpo.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Ming Feizhen reached in and aimed a palm strike at the individual’s shoulder. Smiling, he asked, “Did you enjoy peeking, brother?”
Nobody else would’ve smiled if they saw the individual inside, considering his height and muscular build, not to mention the violence he oozed from behind his mask. His mask was just a plain iron mask that wouldn’t even have scared a kid, but it gave off the vibe of a metal helmet of a deadly warrior on him. Despite not doing anything in particular, he was able to emanate violence, the type that would’ve crushed the building with a single wave of his hand. Perhaps he was too large for the building.
He unleashed a palm strike at Ming Feizhen, which Ming Feizhen met with his own. No colourful energy blasts or the sort were generated, yet the shockwave destroyed the building.
Ming Feizhen was surprised the individual was able to produce that amount of force instantaneously without looking as if he was even trying. In contrast, Ming Feizhen went backwards notwithstanding the momentum he had from entering the building.
Ever since leaving the bamboo forest, Ming Feizhen’s biggest challenges were Pangu and Mr. An, but not even Mr. An seemed to have internal energy more potent than the foe before him. Ignoring the unique ability to control birds, Ming Feizhen never imagined he’d encounter an adept of this level in the capital.
Even though Ming Feizhen’s strike sent the unperturbed man through multiple buildings, Ming Feizhen saw nothing to celebrate about. Instead, he felt apprehensive.
