@@After throwing another gaze at the lifeless corpse, Edward"s foot stepped lightly on the tree branch. Using the force, Edward glided over to the denser parts of the forest. His soft chilling laughter gradually scattered all around him.." They really are persistent. Looks like the person who send these a.s.sasin is really keen on killing me." Edward coldly laughed.
"Yes, everything is up to you. I will help by keeping track to the people chasing you." said the sword spirit.
Edward nodded slightly.
Not long after Edward disappeared, the branches of the trees on the opposite side of the ravine suddenly swayed a little. A group of human figures released a "swash" sound as they flashed and appeared. They held shining longswords in their hands that reflected a thick cold glow under the sunlight.
"No one? A moment ago, second senior brother sensed some movement in the air around here?"
"Perhaps it was created by some Magical Beast. However, the ravine here as a little too wide. Looks like only those brothers in the sect who are well versed in wind affinity Qi Techniques can go over first."
"Yes."
"Remember the leader"s order. Do not fight head on with Edward should you meet him. All we need to do is to use all our effort to try and stall for time!"
"Yes!"
