Pushing himself to run faster, Zen raced uphill more alert than ever.
Several people pursued close behind, intent on capturing Zen.
Wanting to block Zen's path, one of his stalkers took a detour, at a stunning speed.
"Ha ha! Someone, like you, at the marrow refining level, from the Cloud Sect provides perfect amusement for us!" The robust man in his thirties had a sturdy looking face, his skin tone was dark, and his eyes looked menacing, "Out of my way!" warned Zen in a sharp voice, while he was calm and collected, ready to land a fatal blow on the man, who was supposedly at the nature level.
The man's voice dripped with cynicism as he said, "You are at my mercy! If it suits my wishes, you will lose your life right now at my command, in Hell Mountain."
As their leader dealt with Zen, the man's companions stopped to watch.
"Last warning, move aside or die where you stand!" threatened Zen.
Feeling superior to Zen, the man dismissed the warning.
Extending his large, black hands, the man attempted to grasp Zen.
If he fell victim to this man, Zen would suffer greatly!
In a flash, Zen used his soul to form a thorn as his opponent bore down on him.
"Spiritual thorn strike!"
As the weapon struck the man, he cried out in excruciating pain.
As his scream rang out, Zen hurled the broken flying knife at the man.
"Zing!"
"Slli-shh!"
Like a dart, the sharp weapon shot through the air, and struck the target. The knife punctured his chest, exiting his back and stuck in the rock behind him.
