Chapter 246 Making an Entrance is all About Timing!
*Woosh!*
*Woosh!* *Woosh!*
A figure shuttled through the forest while a little far back from him, a group of three cloaked figures rushed after a single person. Their faces were covered in separate masks, each bearing a symbol of a dark red sun.
*Shaa…*
Soon, they all arrived in an open area where a huge mountain blocked their way, and the only way to leave this place was to either go back sideways or go back…
The mysterious group of people also noticed this and hurriedly surrounded the person they were chasing, blocking all the ways for him to escape before he could even move.
Seeing the path blocked, the figure turned around. The figure belonged to an extremely handsome man wearing green robes, along with a sword in his hands.
His sharp lavender eyes looked at the people in front of him with stubbornness and killing intent. The aura of the first stage, the Foundation Establishment stage gushed out of him, causing his blonde hair to flutter.
"Give up the resistance, prince! You have been selected by our lord as the sacrifice for the great dawn…" Seeing the undisguised killing intent, the person leading the group walked forward and spoke in their broken understanding of language.
It was clear that they were not residents of the place where the common language was spoken. Noticing this change, the prince narrowed his eyes. His mind raced, trying to find the place where people did not speak the common language that was even known outside the Tian Ren Empire.
"Don't think you can find anything about us just from our broken language. Our organization is not something the likes of you can comprehend." Another cloaked person seemed to have noticed this change, much to the prince's surprise. He was called out by the guy in a perfect accent and terms. He could easily pick the tone of gloating in his words.
Suddenly, the two in the back released their auras at the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage, while their leader revealed his cultivation to be at the fourth stage of the Foundation Stage realm.
*Woosh!*
The three of them moved closer, and the prince also started preparing to fight back.
"I don't care which organization you are from, but you are not taking me away this easily." The prince scoffed and charged towards one of the weaker members of the group, preparing his sword strike to attack him.
"Do you think you can buy time before someone from the royal family comes and saves you? The three of us are here to wrap things up." All three of them did not take any chances and encircled the prince before attacking him at the same time.
*Boom!*
Before their attacks could connect, they were stopped by a barrier.
"What a powerful barrier, as one would expect from someone of your stature, the third prince. I think it can block the attack from someone at the first level of the Core Formation realm." There was no surprise in the voice of the person seeing the transparent veil in front of him.
The third prince did not feel safe even behind the protective barrier of the treasure he was wearing around his neck. It was a pendant that looked like a pair of wings crossing over one another.
"There is no need to delay the time. Prepare to attack." Seeing how his underling was chatting with the prince freely, the leader snorted and rushed him to make a move. Upon hearing his order, the cloaked men raised their hands to attack once more. His companion followed suit as they both brought out crossbows from the storage bracelets around their wrists.
The leader, on the other hand, moved his cloak to pull out a small palm-sized sword and pointed it in the direction of the barrier.
"Be ready. Don't kill him!" After the final warning, the leader charged the sword with his qi.
*Woosh!*
The sword moved at an extreme speed in the direction of the third prince. But at that moment, no one noticed that the sound of the sword overlapped another barely noticeable and quiet sound.
*Thud!*
*Crack!*
Two sounds followed after the sword struck the barrier. One was the sound of the barrier crushing, and the other was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
*Shaa!*
The leader, who was now mostly exhausted by the attack he just launched, did not seem happy when he saw that only one arrow was fired in the direction of the prince, which he effortlessly dodged.
"What do you think you are-" The leader looked in the direction of his colleague angrily, but his words got stuck in his mouth when he saw the dead body of one of his people.
*Woosh!*
"Stay alert; someone is here." The leader warned the other guy as he looked around the trees and bushes with vigilance in his eyes. The prince did not let this chance go by and charged at the weaker of the surviving people.
"Don't forget me!"
Seeing the incoming blade, the cloaked person threw his blade away and pulled out a Rank 3 dagger.
*Cling!*
*Shhh!*
Seeing his only alive partner colliding with the prince, the leader wanted to join in, but the sound of someone moving from all the surroundings made him unable to move.
"Come out!" He tried to goad the person into coming out, but to his surprise, the sounds of the leaves rustling and the person moving through the air stopped all of a sudden.
"But I am already out!" The leader heard a voice coming from behind him, and immediately tried to turn around to strike again, but before he could, he felt his whole body freeze from the killing intent that locked onto him from behind, followed by the same voice.
"Silent series!…."
All he could hear were those two words before eternal calm!
*Thud!*
His body also fell to the ground, revealing the face of Yuan Ming, which looked similar to the one when he left the Soaring Heaven Sect, but unlike the previous times, there was a hint of coldness and sharpness in his eyes.
His aura was more hidden and cautious, while there were no longer any hints of childishness in his eyes.
