Chapter 128: Chapter 101 Pursuit and Kill

The warm yellow glow of the oil lamp inside the gate slanted out, casting its light over his body and spreading into the darkness beyond.

The young Clan Leader stood there, silently watching Sui Yi.

In his hand, he still held her Xiezhi Dagger.

His eyes were fixed on her intensely.

Sui Yi felt a weight in her heart plummet, dropping with a thud to the ground, and she exhaled, saying calmly, "I don’t know where I gave myself away."

"There was no slip-up," he replied.

"Oh?" Sui Yi’s gaze sharpened.

"If there had to be a slip-up, it would be this dagger," the young man raised up the Xiezhi Dagger, the patterns on the sheath gleaming in the moonlight.

Slowly glowing to life.

"One who can wield such a weapon must be extremely formidable, so I took extra precautions with you. I checked your breathing earlier and found nothing amiss, but... out of caution, I still waited."

Did he finally wait for her to make a move?

She was very patient, but his patience was even more terrifying.

In fact, the young man was more astonished by Sui Yi than she realized; he truly hadn’t expected this outsider to have such capability, to escape alone without leaving a trace, "If you hadn’t stayed to save your friend, by now, you wouldn’t have fallen into the predicament before you."

He toyed with the Xiezhi Dagger in his hand. "Will you submit on your own, or shall I make you?"

Sui Yi laughed. "Relying on you alone... you might not be able to hold me back..."

Pausing, she suddenly sprang into action, dodging an arrow that flew at her from behind—swoosh! The arrow vanished into the darkness.

Thump, she landed on the roof of a house. "Even if you add all your clansmen, it remains true."

"Is that so? That’s yet to be seen!" The young man bounded up onto the roof as well, as twenty households opened their doors! Twenty men with bows shot arrows from below, directed towards her!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The dense flurry of arrows wove into a crisscrossing net; although they didn’t match the speed of the single arrow shot by the young man, they were nonetheless as fast as bullets!

Leaping and dodging in one fluid motion, Sui Yi seemed to have eyes all around her, instantaneously discerning every possible escape route and slipping through the barrage effortlessly.

Suddenly, with a flick of her leg, she propelled herself from the roof, leaping out five meters away, directly onto the closest large tree.

"Clan Leader, she’s running away!"

"She won’t get far! After her!"

The young Clan Leader, like a leopard, effortlessly scaled the tree and in the blink of an eye was hanging just a few meters behind Sui Yi.

He sprang into action!

The Xiezhi Dagger in his hand flew out, its icy gleam ferocious, as it thrust down from behind!

Whoosh!

Sui Yi hugged the trunk, shifted in a flash, and jumped to another big tree, feeling a cold gust like a knife behind her!

He was closing in!

Further back were clan members rushing out of the tribe with torches in hand...

Murderous intent filled the air, arrows piercing through the woods...

A blanket of pressure descending!

This was a fight for life and death, a desperate escape!

----------

Sui Yi and her pursuer were moving too fast; although those following from the tribe also possessed Inner Strength, they couldn’t catch up and were quickly left behind.

However, the young Clan Leader was closing in on Sui Yi relentlessly...

The moonlight, falling in uneven patches, showed the chase through the small woods, with one person hot on the heels of the other, leaping agilely like foxes among the treetops.

With a snap! A slender branch broke, and the young Clan Leader suddenly launched the Xiezhi Dagger at Sui Yi, four meters away...

The blade shone cold and sharp, fast as an arrow, with enough force to pierce through her body!

Sui Yi sensed the cold wind behind her, the Magnetic Sensation catching the incoming Xiezhi Dagger; she curved her body and dropped swiftly from the tree to the ground...

Thud!

There, the young Clan Leader already stood on the tree where the Xiezhi Dagger had lodged, gracefully extracted the blade while performing a backflip and landed before Sui Yi.

The dagger swirled in his hand, drawing a sword flower, as he narrowed his eyes, "You clearly have lesser Inner Strength, yet you’ve managed to maintain such speed for so long. You’re even more formidable than I had imagined."

Sui Yi no longer thought of fleeing; escaping would do her no good because the other’s Inner Strength was clearly much deeper than hers. Once she’d exhausted her Inner Strength, he would still have plenty of reserve.

So, it was time to fight!

Sui Yi looked at the Xiezhi Dagger in the young man’s hand and smiled faintly. "Clan Leader seems quite comfortable using another’s weapon."

The young man retorted, "The same could be said for you."

In your hands, you also hold a Scythe of our clan.

The Scythe... Sui Yi gripped the Scythe tightly in her hand as an unidentified animal’s cry echoed through Lin Zhong, and the young man made his move!

Clang!

In an instant clash, another nick appeared on the Scythe.

"Your family’s Scythe doesn’t seem to be of much quality," Sui Yi twirled the Scythe in her hand, using the back of the blade to fend off his attack!
