Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 105

Chapter 105 The Hunt: How To Handle It

Warriors in such a realm were definitely superior to everyone else and enjoyed enormous prestige. Even among numerous disciples, they could be seen brilliant.
However, they did not look like super experts right now at all. Instead, they looked like anxious ants around a steaming pot with worry all over their faces.
“Damn it, where did they go?”
“No matter what, we must find that loser before dark, otherwise, the master…”
“It was me. I shouldn’t have let the one-apertured Martial Disciple Realm slip away… this prince, he really doesn’t know himself. How could he always sneak out when he’s so low in kung fu? This is tough, chasing after the loser under master’s order…”
“Shhh, keep your voice down. Do you want to get in trouble? We would’ve died a million times if the master finds out you’re talking about him like that!
“Well, to be honest, this is a chance too. As long as we suck up to that loser and make him put in a good word for us to the master, we’ll rise to power in no time! Haha!”
“Shut up! Keep looking! How can you start reaming at such a time?”
The experts were exchanging anxious words.
In four hours, they had patrolled the entire grassland without any finding.
At that moment, in the distant ridge forest at the brink of the grassland came a familiar shrill. The two’s faces dramatically changed.
“Is that…”
“SOS he sent?”
“This is bad. He probably ran into some strong beast… the signal was not fully released.”
The two exchanged a glance and immediately increased their momentum. Like darting arrows, they flew toward the ridge forest in the distance. They left two traces in the sky like sharp longsaber. Two startling gaps were revealed in the sky.
Because the signal was not fully released, they could only hear the shrill hundred of miles away, but could not locate a certain place. They could only advance in that direction and gradually find out.
Half an hour later, they flew to the area of the ridge forest.
Then, they spent more than two hours to get near the lake, where they found shattered corpses and clothes. The clothes were all Tranquility Academy style and a dozen corpses had been torn into pieces and gnawed by wild beasts, which left an unbearable mess.
The two people’s face immediately sank.
The middle-aged expert growing a goatee and triangular face looked solemn. He waved to kill the remaining beasts which were still gnawing the flesh in a split second. He squatted to check the corpses on the ground, and then he shook his head and said, “The bodies are damaged and could not be identified, but they were Tranquility Academy disciples for sure. And we can’t know the cause…”
The grave-looking fatty expert with a beard scanned over the ground. Suddenly, he found something and stretched out his palm. From more 20 meters away, a silver tube flew onto his palm.
“It’s his tube. He might have been killed. Did they really meet some powerful monsters and lost their lives?” The bearded man was both surprised and angry.
“Wrong. Look at the tube. It has a dent on the side… Well, it could only be caused by a human weapon… an arrow.” The triangular-faced man wearing a goatee was obviously an expert at tracking. He had spotted something strange at first sight.
“Human? Did someone kill our Tranquility Academy disciples?” The short bearded man roared. “No matter who he is, I’ll make him pay. Damn it, they’re not strong enough and should still be around. Quickly, get them and tear them into pieces. Only in that way can we return to our master.”
“We must get them alive. Othersiwe, next corpses you see will be ours.” The man with a goatee gnashed his teeth.
He started to track the killer on the ground, trying to find something they left.
“Well, I’ve got them. They went this way…” The triangular-faced man with a goatee was really good at tracking. After some observation, he found out which direction Ding Hao and others went in.
“Let’s go!”
The two surged up and chased after the killer’s traces lightning-fast.
“He who killed our Tranquility Academy disciples, come out! Or we’ll make you beg for death once we catch you!”
The angry roaring spread into the distance with his primordial grandmaster realm Qi strength. Like a rumbling thunder in the sky, it could be even heard hundreds of miles away.
…
“Phew, I’m exhausted. Senior Brother Ding, let’s take a break. I’m running out of strength.” One of the Young Pioneers members breathed heavily.
After the last break, the group had been running forward for more than one hour, and many of them had been carrying the injured Western Academy of red shirts disciples on their back. At this time, they had run 25 to 30 kilometers away. It was reasonable that they were out of strength.
Ding Hao thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
The other members immediately collapsed to the ground and gasped for air. Almost all were sweating and their arms and legs nearly went cramping.
“We can’t do this any longer. We’re only temporarily safe if we get at least 100 kilometers away from the lake. Othersiwe, once the real experts try to track us down, we’ll soon become exposed.” While everyone was taking a rest, Ding Hao leaned against a tree, deep in his thoughts trying to find a way out.
“Hello.” Li Yiruo walked toward him, her expression complicated.
Exhausted as she might be, the proud girl still looked gorgeous, giving off a unique charm.
Ding Hao smiled. “You pepper girl (a hot-tempered girl), my name is not ‘hello’.”
To be honest, Ding Hao did not think much of the sassy girl before, even avoided her a little. Nevertheless, when he saw she stood out for his companions by the lake, he somewhat found something different in her and decided to look at her in a different way.
“Bah, I’m not a pepper girl.” Li Yiruo unconsciously stomped her feet and soon realized that she sounded a little coy. Thus, she soon changed her tone and acted cold in front of Ding Hao as she had always been. “Don’t overthink. Thank you, for saving us.”
Ding Hao laughed. “And you don’t overthink too. Actually, I’m not overthinking at all.”
“You…” Li Yiruo did not know how to answer but involuntarily stomped her feet again. “Anyway, I know what you’re worried about. We’re burdens on you, so why don’t you leave with other Eastern Academy of green shirts senior brothers? If the Tranquility Academy experts come, we’ll face the consequence, whatever it is. Anyway, we started this.”
