Chapter 688: Killing Intent
Qin Sang said nothing, as if he had not seen the man's actions, and continued flying forward.
The man became even more blatant, making no attempt to conceal his intentions. He trailed behind them from afar, always keeping a certain distance, never getting too close.
Suddenly, Qin Sang came to a halt, hovering above the sea’s surface, then turned around and locked eyes with the pursuer.
The man also stopped his evasion light at once, confronting them across the vast stretch of ocean. He showed no impatience. On the contrary, he seemed rather pleased.
"You go on ahead," Qin Sang instructed, then moved without warning. He activated Sword Merger as he reversed direction, chasing after the pursuer instead.
The man turned and fled without hesitation. His evasion light was no slower than Qin Sang’s, indicating he was at least a Core Formation Realm cultivator.
But Qin Sang was relentless. His sword light blazed brilliantly, dazzling and sharp. With a thunderous roar, it tore through the air like a bolt of lightning. He had unleashed the Sword Qi Thunderclap.
The distance between them closed rapidly.
The man panicked and tried to flee with all his strength, but still fell behind. In desperation, he took something from his pouch and slapped it onto his body. His speed surged, now matching that of Qin Sang's Sword Qi Thunderclap.
Seeing this, Qin Sang suddenly halted and narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
He had caught a clear glimpse earlier. Under pressure, the man had activated a talisman to boost his speed. Only by relying on the talisman had he kept up with Sword Qi Thunderclap. This meant his true cultivation could not be very high.
Qin Sang made his judgment, then deliberately acted as if the pursuit had failed. He turned his sword light and flew back to rejoin the elderly couple and the others.
