THE VALLEY OF HELL
Chapters 16. Escape

That long-range battle made the two expend not a bit of their qi energy.

No doubt some tree trunks in the area were affected by the attack of both.

Fan Tian's lightning bolted the trees when it did not hit its target and scorched it.

Likewise with the attack of knives belonging to his opponent. One by one began to be stuck into the trunk of a large tree so that it is very difficult to be pulled back by the power of control of the owner who is getting away.

"In a moment the knife will run out, I must seize the opportunity to move closer so that my lightning strike can hit it." Thought Fan Tian while looking for momentum to unleash an attack.

"Damn! The more I use a lot of knives to attack him, the faster my knives run out.While I don't have time to be able to pull them back." The muttered man who was Fan Tian's opponent and tried to utilize the trees to be able to take cover from every attack.

Fan Tian's claws occasionally smashed the tree trunk that was a shield for his opponent over his lightning strikes.

Although both of them are using the trees to be able to provide difficulty for each opponent's attack. But that fight was slowly beginning to drain the energy of his second qi.

Until finally the moment that was awaited by Fan Tian arrived, where the man's knife had been stuck in the tree trunk.

Fan Tian immediately moved closer and closed the space for the man to regain his weapon.

Moreover, the tens of blades he also formed from every metal that protected his body. So it was very detrimental to the man.

"It turns out he was smart too, having closed my movements to block out so that I could get back my knives..so what should I do now?"

"If fighting in the middle of the city, it is certain that I can easily defeat him... But this position is very detrimental to me." Thought the man with annoyance.

While Fan Tian had other thoughts to be able to defeat his opponent.

"If my one lightning strike could hit him, I would definitely be able to end the current situation."

As Fan Tian continued to try to get close.

While the man also took the decision to escape while taking cover in every tree he passed so as not to be hit by lightning strikes his opponent.

Every now and then Fan Tian's lightning attacks could only target the trunk of the tree until it burned because it did not hit the target.

Because it was still dark back then, so Fan Tian could not hasten his movements to chase after the man.

"Damn! If it wasn't night time, I could easily catch up to him." Mumbled Fan Tian who kept trying to be able to chase after the man.

After a while of pursuit, Fan Tian finally lost track of the man.

***

In a place where dozens of robbers were stiffened by Fan Tian's actions, now a woman who was still on her mount felt surprised by what she found.

"Who did this? Was Fan Tian among them?" He muttered with anxious feelings.

Dong Huang immediately came down from his mount and began to approach each of the robbers' bodies and tried to pay attention to the cause of death and wanted to check if the man he was chasing was among them.

That's because the circumstances at that time were still not very clear because the moonlight in the sky was slightly blocked by leaves.

However, he could not find the cause of the deaths of the ten people and did not find Fan Tian among them.

"It looks like there's no sign of violence on their bodies."

"When viewed from their bodies, it seems like this hasn't happened for long."

"Is this done by Fan Tian?"

"Given some of the events that we experienced as well as the delivery of the man at the resting place, I'm increasingly convinced that Fan Tian is not the stupid man I thought he was before."

"But where is he? Has he gone on a journey to go to Jin city?"

"I'd better get out soon to catch up with him."

Dong Huang got back on his mount and started to poach him.

Only about tens of meters away did the horse that Dong Huang was riding run over, the woman immediately found the steed Fan Tian had by then laid lifelessly.

"Fan Tian's steed knocks, what's wrong with him?"

Once you can recognize the horse, dong Huang immediately pulled the harness to stop the horse he was riding and immediately jumped down to see what made the horse lose its life.

"They have been ambushed with arrows by the group, but if you look at the distance between the bodies of the ten dead men and this horse...it seemed like Fan Tian instantly jumped up and unleashed an attack towards those ten people."

"While this horse continues to run until it collapsed here because of the arrows lodged in its body."

"If looking at the situation, would it be possible for Fan Tian to take the initiative to escape after killing those ten people?"

"If so, why are the bodies of ten people not moved by his colleagues?"

Dong Huang continued to analyze what Fan Tian would do next.

A little while later, Dong Huang finally decided to bring his horse and moored it to a tree located a little far from the road so that it could not be found.

"I will search for traces of their existence secretly so as not to be found by the band of robbers."

"Who knew I could find Fan Tian safe."

"If I can't find it, I'll follow him to Jin's town."

Dong Huang thought and immediately jumped up the tree and began to dart moving from one tree to another.

After a moment of entering the forest even deeper, he could finally hear the sound of lightning explosions.

Out of curiosity, Dong Huang immediately approached the source of the sound.

The woman could immediately find the source of the sound of the explosion and saw that there were two warriors fighting.

He could recognize the face of Fan Tian's opponent as the light of the lightning explosion flashed and illuminated the man's face.

And just then, Fan Tian was chasing after that man who had escaped from him.

Dong Huang could only follow and watch the show from a little far away so that the two warriors could not figure it out.

"If you look, it looks like the metal element controlling man is avoiding the black-robed, masked swordsman."

"Is he running away from that lightning element controller?"

"What he did was very reasonable, because in a place like this, metal element controllers were severely disadvantaged in fighting with lightning element controllers."

"What else is the power of the lightning element that the masked swordsman has mastered has a very strong destructive power."

"It was already on par with the abilities possessed by a top-tier expert swordsman and it was already fitting to obtain a degree from the martial world."

"But who is the black-robed, masked warrior?"

"Seeing from his appearance, is he the leader of the ten robbers I found earlier?"

"But judging from his abilities I have never heard of a titled swordsman who has the ability to control the lightning element."

"From the rumors I heard, every robber who committed a crime, no one used the lightning element technique."

"But why would the metal element controller be in this place?"

"Is it related to Fan Tian?"

"Don't tell me he's trying to save Fan Tian from the robbers!?"

"I had to follow the masked man in order to find the position where they were holding Fan Tian."

Dong Huang continued to think about all the possibilities that Fan Tian had experienced while following the two warriors.

On the other hand, Fan Tian had lost track of his opponent, Fan Tian immediately stopped to chase and returned to the position where the envoy the robber leader intended to pass through.

Because Dong Huang was curious about the existence of Fan Tian, so he continued to follow him.

Finally Fan Tian stopped and remained perched on one of the tree branches while paying attention to one of the areas.

"What did he do?"

"Why did he just sit in that tree?"

"Is there something he's looking at?"

Dong Huang was curious about the actions of the masked swordsman who had remained motionless and moved away from the tree for some time that had passed.

The two remained silent in their respective positions until night had now changed by day.

After three hours passed after the sun had shone on the earth, Fan Tian could finally see the movements of some people riding horses and there were some horses pulling a wagon.

There was a horse carriage among them.

"It seems that inside the horse carriage was the intended messenger, I must immediately catch it before I throw poisonous fumes at the guards." Fan Tian thought and immediately darted down onto the roof of the horse carriage.

A bodyguard immediately shouted as he saw the arrival of Fan Tian.

"Fastly protect master Hun Ye!"
