King's Awakening-Chapter 729 - : Pursuers!

Chapter 729: Chapter 729: Pursuers!

At this moment, Lucy was extraordinarily moved.

Because she knew, once the God of Heaven War and Earth War God left, it could be a journey of no return.

She believed that both the God of Heaven War and Earth War God understood this as well.

Yet just then, Lucy did not see any hesitation or uncertainty in their eyes.

They simply turned around without any second thoughts, as if everything was just as it should be.

However, all of this was against reason.

...

Lucy could tell that White Mitchell was good friends, good brothers with them.

However, even brothers and friends, even fathers and sons, might turn against each other when faced with danger.

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest.

It was the law of the Forbidden Land, rooted deep in everyone’s heart.

In great disasters, everyone is for themselves. Not to mention flying alone, not betraying each other would be considered very good.

However, the God of Heaven War and Earth War God were different. To protect White Mitchell, they willingly sacrificed themselves, even if it meant their lives.

This sort of friendship, was touching, but equally baffling.

Lucy really didn’t understand, just how deep their friendship was, for them to willingly face potential death in order to protect White Mitchell?

Lucy didn’t understand, she thought she might never understand.

After all, although she was deeply cherished in the Beast Controlling Sect, and everyone yielded to her every day, nobody would be willing to bear all for her when faced with life-threatening danger.

Even her most respected master would be the same.

After all, when facing death, nobody can keep apart from it.

Moreover, although she seemed friendly with the others in the Beast Controlling Sect, behind-the-scenes conflicts were not uncommon.

Don’t be fooled by the caring senior disciples from the Beast Controlling Sect. Lucy knew that their attentiveness was not genuine; they were trying to please her master.

Because her master was a respected master in the Beast Controlling Sect.

Countless geniuses wanted to study under him.

However, her master only had one disciple, herself.

As for the others, her master didn’t hold them in high regard.

Hence, those so-called geniuses tried to please her, hoping that her master, who loved her dearly, would also give them some guidance.

Furthermore, through her master’s daily teachings, they could gain insights just from the crumbs of information she passed on to them.

In Lucy’s view, this is all normal human behavior.

However, the actions of the God of Heaven War and Earth War God were truly puzzling.

If she hadn’t seen it herself, she would not believe that there was anyone in this world who would risk their lives to protect others.

Right now, that’s exactly what the God of Heaven War and Earth War God were doing.

Their selflessness and commitment touched Lucy deeply.

————————————-

On the other hand, after the God of Heaven War and Earth War God left, they arrived at a junction.

“Ready?”, the God of Heaven War calmly turned towards the Earth War God, seemingly oblivious to the approaching peril.

However, in reality, he was aware that they were about to be caught in a storm.

Whether they could survive the storm was unknown.

Yet, he had no regrets.

“Do you really need to ask? Has there ever been a time when we, from the White War Department, weren’t ready?” The Earth War God said with a laugh, looking at ease. Similarly, there was no sign of regret on his face.

God of Heaven War responded with a laugh and nodded, “If you survive, promise me to take care of our Superior and complete our unfulfilled mission.”

“Stop the nonsense. Make sure to bring a good bottle of wine to my grave next year. Hopefully, I can hear the news then.” Earth War God responded with a smile. Even though his words were of farewell, his face was filled with laughter.

The news?

God of Heaven War laughed and patted Earth War God’s shoulder, “May our world remain unharmed! It definitely will.”

“Free as the rivers and mountains!” The Earth War God solemnly nodded.

Then, both of them, in silence, paced towards their respective directions.

They both understood that this parting might lead them to never see each other again.

Their camaraderie was something profound that thousands of words couldn’t fully express or explain.

However, at this very moment, to protect White Mitchell, they resolutely chose to embark on this journey.

————————————-

Meanwhile, when the God of Heaven War and Earth War God parted ways, Moore and his followers were closely trailing them.

“Reporting to the Protector, the traces split into two paths here. Clearly, they did this on purpose to distract us. It seems they can’t hold up anymore and must be nearby. They absolutely won’t be far.” replied one of the subordinates excitedly.

They had been following White Mitchell and his crew’s traces all along, but upon reaching here, the traces evidently diverged into two directions.

Obviously, someone wanted to mislead them intentionally.

In their view, these methods were quite crude.

Upon hearing this, a cold smirk crept onto Moore’s face as he sarcastically said, “They want to play? Let’s see how long their game will last!

I don’t believe that a dying man who’s just used a secret technique can escape just by growing wings!

You guys go this way; the rest come with me!”

Without hesitation, Moore immediately divided his men into two groups and they set off in two different directions.

On the other hand, the God of Heaven War and Earth War God had long been preparing traps.

They knew, the adversaries they were about to face were most likely the experts sent from the four big cities.

If they were to confront them directly, their chances of winning were extremely slim.

Therefore, they needed to find another way, to exhaust the enemies’ strength first.

Initially, the Earth War God’s road was rigged with several traps.

And he, he hid himself amongst the towering trees, clandestinely observing everything around.

Rustle!

Soon, a faint sound caught the Earth War God’s attention.

“They’re here pretty quick!” His eyes turned cold, filled with an intense desire for battle.

It wasn’t long before three middle-aged men dressed in Heavenly Dragon City uniforms appeared within his sights.

Shielded by the towering trees, the Earth War God, from high above, watched their every movement.

“The traces break off again here. They should be nearby!” One of them said.

The other two nodded seriously, “Be careful. They might have purposely lured us here. We could be stepping on a trap right this moment!

Examine every step from now, otherwise if misfortune befalls, you have no one but yourselves to blame for poor observation!

Understand?”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. Their eyes lit up like lanterns, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.

Soon, one man discovered a trace and gingerly investigated it.

Boom!

The loud sound of a tree trunk, big enough to be embraced by two people, swept towards them.

However, their faces revealed no signs of worry.

On the contrary, they appeared calm, even a faint look of mockery and ridicule adorned their faces.

“With these kinds of traps, do they really expect to harm us?” scoffed one of them, drawing his blade from his waist.

Swish!

In an instant, the gigantic tree trunk was cut into two, plummeting down both sides.

To this group of men, such tactics were nothing more than child’s play.

“Such small tricks, hardly wort–” The man who cut the tree began sneering, but before he could finish, his gaze abruptly froze.

“Watch out!”

His companions promptly let out a warning, their voice filled with urgency, as if facing some significant danger.

This…

At this moment, the man who had just sliced the tree trunk was trembling and his gaze was fixed on the large knife that had somehow appeared in front of him.

This large knife, fast and fierce, popped up in front of him like a ghost.

This tactic caught him completely off guard!

After all, just a moment ago, he was smugly satisfied; it was his moment of weakest vigilance. He had not anticipated that such a move was in store.

At this moment, his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with molten lead. His gaze also turned vacant.

Forget dodging it, he couldn’t even react in time, let alone move.

Such a sudden action was impossible to defend against.

“Shit!”

A chill ran up his spine, causing his scalp to tingle.

Now, he felt as if he could smell the scent of death lingering in the air.

The scent of death made him feel as if he was standing in the underworld, surrounded by the roars of ghastly spirits, causing his spirits to plunge to an all-time low.

“What do I do, I can’t dodge it!”

At this time, his mental defenses were totally shattered.

Now he deeply regretted, if he hadn’t been so arrogant just now, had been a little bit more cautious, he could have anticipated this move.

But, it was too late for regrets now.

Eventually, his arrogance had cost him dearly.

“No, no… I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die, I…” The man was frantically shouting, trying desperately to control his own legs to dodge.

However, in the next moment the large knife that had suddenly appeared still came down directly towards his neck.

With a swish!

The knife was swift and ruthless, and it took his life immediately.

“AHHH!!!”

The two men who accompanied him were furious when they saw this scene.

They too didn’t expect that one among them would die so soon.

This was absolutely unforgivable!

“Come out! Show yourself, coward! If you’re brave enough, face me head-on!” One of the men drew the long knife from his waist, gripped it tightly, and shouted into the air.

The man standing next to him also swiftly drew his sword from his waist.

Back to back, they held their swords and vigilantly surveyed their surroundings for any movements.

At this moment, they dared not show any carelessness.

After all, they had just lost one person due to their negligence. They could not afford to be complacent right now.

They knew very well that the enemy they were about to face was no ordinary person.

This was evident from the danger they had narrowly escaped.

In their view, the opponent had a precise understanding of their psychology.

He seized upon their negligence and laid a trap within a trap when they were least prepared.

A trap within a trap!

The tree trunk on the surface was not the actual trap; the large knife was the real threat!

Such cunning and ruthlessness were truly admirable!

Keep in mind that they were on the run.

Even while being pursued, their opponent could still calmly set up such a neat trap. It was clear that their adversary was not just anyone.

At this moment, the two men remaining were extremely serious and didn’t dare to let their guard down for a moment.

After all, they knew very well that in a confrontation, they could take their opponents down easily.

But now, the situation was different.

The enemy was hiding in the shadows, not showing himself.

No matter how high their levels were, or how strong they were, it was of no use now.

Before they saw the enemy, all their power was just potential with nowhere to unleash!

This circumstance made them feel unbelievably stifled and angry.

In their many years in the world of martial, as the Heavenly Dragon City individuals, they swaggered around everywhere. Never had they been schemed against in such a sneak attack!

This kind of humiliation, if it were in normal times, they would have minced their foe and fed him to the wild dogs.

But now, they hadn’t even seen their adversary.

It felt like punching cotton!

It made them feel unbelievably choked up!

“Come out! Come out for me!” Both of them were yelling furiously.

However, the Earth War God hiding in the darkness, was completely unmoved.

He could tell that these people’s strength was probably around the Innate Eight Stages.

This kind of strength, and not just one, but two of them!

Although he’d managed to deal with one person earlier by setting a trap, it was difficult to implement the same strategy again.

Because, under the alertness of an Innate Eight Stages powerhouse, trapping them was a difficult feat.

However, in a head-on confrontation, the Earth War God was also not confident.

He knew that even if he went all out, he could at most take down only one of them.

Dealing with the other one was practically impossible.

What he needed to do now was to stall these two people as much as possible, to prevent them from going to the side of God of Heaven War.

As long as he could hold them off, until White Mitchell awakened, his mission would be accomplished.

As for the result, the Earth War God did not care at all.

He was already prepared to perish, in other words, he had no fear of death.

However, this didn’t mean he had to fight to the death with them. As long as he didn’t show up, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly for a while!

Thinking of this, the Earth War God became even more determined, quietly hiding in the towering ancient tree, watching the two men below in utter panic.

“Fuck! A rat hiding its head and showing its tail!” one of them cursed angrily, looking extremely furious.

At this time, the other person frowned and analyzed calmly: “Don’t be impulsive! Calm down, the angrier we get, the more likely we’ll fall into his trap!”

Trapped?

The angry one was taken aback upon hearing this, then showed a sudden realization: “You mean that guy is hiding in the shadows, laughing at us right now!”

The calm one nodded, his gaze cautiously sweeping around the towering ancient trees.

The surrounding area was filled with towering old trees, making it difficult to find someone hiding among them.

Who knows, the one they wanted to kill right now might be hiding atop one of these towering trees, quietly watching and waiting for the right moment.

The moment to strike!

“Fuck! If I find him, I’ll skin him!” the angry one cursed furiously, holding his long knife even more tightly.

There was no exaggeration in saying that if the Earth War God appeared in front of him now, he would definitely chop him into pieces at any cost.

“I’ve told you, don’t be impulsive! Calm down!” the calm one shouted.

He knew that at this time, calmness was required more than ever.

We must understand the opponent’s intentions!

At that thought, the calm one spoke again: “The reason he used traps shows that he has a clear understanding of his own strengths. He knew he couldn’t beat them in a direct fight.

In this case, he should be well aware that staying to ambush us has no advantages for him. As time goes by, we would definitely discover him. By then, he would die anyway!

But, he did not choose to leave. Instead, he set traps here to wait for us, which proves something….”

Proves what?

Upon hearing this, the angry one was even more agitated: “Would you just say it! Stop speaking in riddles!”

The calm one gave a bitter smile, then carefully took in their surroundings: “Use your brain! His decision to stay here and wait for death indicates he’s prepared to die.

His decision to stay here and wait for us, must be to buy time. This indicates that the situation of his ally is likely even worse than we thought!

So, we can’t let him succeed. Quick, send signals to Moore and others, and have them search in other directions. His ally must be in another direction…”
