Just one blow and he was gone.
The remaining henchmen were stunned at his strength. Watson Xie's smug expression faltered, visibly in shock. The elder beside him grabbed his arm. "Let's go!"
The remaining two thugs gritted their teeth and started attacking Fade Chen with grim determination.
They knew that even if they ran from Fade Chen, the Xie family would not take it lightly. Summoning whatever courage they had to fight him could at least ensure that their families would be generously compensated if they were to lose their lives.
Fade Chen did not react much to the attacks of the two henchmen. He held both fists up facing towards them and sent a blow with great force at both of them.
The blow struck them with such great impact that they fell over, blood spurting out from their crushed organs. They died almost instantly.
By then, the elder and Watson Xie were already a distance away, fleeing into the woods.
Fade Chen rushed to follow them. Stepping out the cabin, he turned and saw the thin man lying near the bed, pretending to be unconscious. With a flick of his right hand, Fade Chen sent a gust of energy towards him and ended his life.
Fade Chen proceeded with the chase and ran into the rain.
The rain was heavy and would usually help to cover up their tracks. However, as Watson Xie and the elder had no time to hide and was caught by surprise, Fade Chen quickly found them.
The elder was apparently quite skilled and highly trained as he managed to shield Watson Xie and himself from the attack. Implementing the use of some magic to create hallucinations to distract their trackers, they managed to gain some ground making their way steadily through the woods.
"He is probably a martial artist of Peak Yellow Level. The Xie Family is lucky to have him in service." Fade Chen thought to himself.
The little distractions and hallucinations might have worked on a lesser opponent, but Fade Chen had already reached a level beyond that.
The elder led Watson Xie into the depths of the woods. He was obviously trying to move deeper into the thickets of the forest and prevent Fade Chen from tracking them down.
However, Fade Chen was not going to let them escape. Amidst the pouring rain, he leaped from branch to branch, gliding through the woods effortlessly like a giant bird.
His internal energy even formed a barrier around him , shielding him from the rain.
"Boom, pow!"
Thunderstruck with a deafening sound. The dark sky was lit with the flash of lightning, illuminating the earth momentarily.
Watson Xie was panting and almost out of breath. Placing his hands on his knees, he asked the elder, "Did we lose him?"
The elder glanced around, Fade Chen was nowhere to be found. He frowned, "For now, but he may arrive any moment."
