In spite of that, they too quickly surpassed Qin Mu and rushed ahead of hiet ahead of theet Grandpa Ma and the rest to save granny!"

Gritting his teeth, Qin Mu avoided the river bank and dashed into the forest

He definitely would’ve been caught if he continued to run along the bank of the river The two people at the center of the river ay too fast The two dashing through the forest were slightly slower, so going into the forest was his only option

"Little devil! You and that elk-!"

As Qin Mu dashed into the forest, one of the two boys in that area, sped up and passed the other However, he was still a step too late and allowed Qin Mu in his elk forallop past him

"Don’t worry, he won’t escape!"

The pair in the lead, the boy, and girl who had run atop the river, wore indifferent expressions With a flip of her sleeves, the girl laughed gently, suddenly increasing her speed and leaping through the treetops as if she were flying The boy, on the other hand, calmly comardless of how much Qin Mu frantically sprinted, he couldn’t shake the five people on his tail In addition to that, he was forced to run farther and farther away fro deep into the Great Ruins

Having lived in Disabled Elderly Village for fourteen to fifteen years, the farthest he had ever gone froone way past that, the surroundings started to becoressively desolate without a path in sight

As Qin Mu continued running, a valley came into view up ahead Amidst the peach blossom trees that populated the valley, he could see a herd of elks He quickly dashed over to theh the area as the girl landed on the ground, her sleeves fluttering Looking at the herd of elks before her, she frowned

"Where’s the devil brat, senior sister?" One of the youths as around Qin Mu’s age asked as they landed one by one

The girl pouted her lips and said, "He has blended into this elk herd"

"Then let’s slaughter all of these elks!"

The youths rushed into the elk herd, brandishing swords and knives as they h the elks were fast, they were still slower than the youths

All five of theed martial arts practitioners The elks fled in every direction, but it was still ih, the elks were being slaughtered one by one

Suddenly, a human voice resounded from the chaotic herd of elks

"Didn’t you say that elks were also living beings?" He asked "Granny killed a single elk, but all of you are slaughtering an entire herd Why do you clai the path of the devil?"

"Over there!"

The girl’s eyes sparkled as she gathered her qi and brandished her longsword Qi of the White Tiger spread froold The sword flew froside the elk herd

Qin Mu twisted, changing directions to dodge the incoe in direction and continued flying towards him

"What kind of technique is this?"

Confusion filled Qin Mu’s mind "Could it be a divine art? It… doesn’t look like it Grandpa Butcher said that a divine art can only be achieved when one’s irl’s nificantly inferior to Grandpa Butcher’s…"

As the sent in for the kill, Qin Mu changed directions while sticking as close to the ground as possible, barely dodging the attack The instant he dodged the attack, he caught a glimpse of a fine thread attached to the handle of the sword One end of the thread was connected to the shile the other end of the thread was in the girl’s hand

This thread was as fine as silk,it especially difficult to notice
