Pursuit

Back at the Imperial Gate...

Raquela's eyes widened in sheer fright.

'Even Aeleis who Lorenzo loves dearly isn't considered as a rival for him!!'

Lorenzo eyes became dark green. A gentle smile filled with ominous battle lust on.

He remembered the last time the two met head on, in a friendly exchange between the Imperial Gate and the Sword Sect.

It was three years ago…

He still felt shivers down his spine as he remembered their last fight!! They battled for one day and one night!!

Changing the scenery, destroying the heavens and looking down on Earth!!

Their dance was still narrated to this day by all the disciples of the 10 Sects.

It was an atrocious match-up…A complete monstruous power display.

Their swords had to clash a million times, just for one strike to lend.

Their eyes had to read a thousand steps, just to move an inch.

Every sword moves, every eye movement, every word, every little flinch had it's own deep meaning. As the both pushed each other deeper and deeper in the path of the Sword.

It was like an endless pursuit of the Dao. The both engaged in the most rewarding fight of their young life.

The Deep-seated hatred their dynasty held for one another only fueled their determination to never lose.

Sect Masters, Sect Ancestors were all in awe of such a spectacle.

The two most brilliant geniuses that were ever born since the End of the Ancient Vega dynasty were born in the same Era.

And even in the same generation. And in the same little continent.

Their clash, something that shouldn't have happened….or something that was bound to happen in the future…

When the two fought over the ownership of the Monarch tittle thousand years later…When their potential reaches the Apex of the Lower Primordial Realm.

Their endless talent was on display as they fought at each other throats.

The battle continued for a day and a night, yet for him, it felt like thousands of years.

In his life…He never such a thrill.

Their battle ended only after the 4 Ancestors intervened. Understanding that if the two were not stopped they were bound to kill one another.

Orient Region.

Mounts were advancing at the speed of light!!!

Sounds of sword clamored, as slashes downed on the earth!!

A group of 30 hooded warriors advanced as rapidly as they could!!!

Behind them a hundred of men tailed them, bloodlust in their eyes!!

Their speed already too fast for light to be able to rival it!!

Their clashed were in hyper speed and extremely precise!! Experts of the Primordial Realm already learned how to use their power in a way it never overflows and cause damage to the surrounding!!

Still…This was only possible in friendly situation!! At this realm it was bound that some damage would appear wherever they go!!

The Men all possessed powerful auras and seemed to be experts at trailing and assassination.

The 30 Men were also powerful…Much more powerful that you would expect from warriors of the Orient. All of them wielded powerful swords aura and seemed to be extremely powerful sword masters!!

Their moves and techniques was in a completely unattainable level!!!

At least this kind exchange would not be found normally in the Orient!!

If there was some spectators they would have thought that warriors from the three great powers were clashing!!

The Speed they've been going at is already staggering!! As they traversed country after another!!

And as they moved the two groups clashed one time after another!!

Sometime some of the 30 escaping men would stay behind to prevent them from caching up to the rest!!

The faces of the fleeting men were seeping with deep seated fatigue. Their eyes showing vehement signs of insomnia.

Their Breath were inconstant showing their agitated state.

Their cloths were ragged spots of red here and there. Some had deep gullies in their bodies, they've been severely wounded.

But even then…They persevered! In their eyes could be seen unbending determination and loyalty!!

They all had courage in their hearts but it's been nearly two weeks that they've been at it.

The Goal was simple and clear.

'Reach the Atleasian Empire!!'

Or…

'Escort a Person to the Atleasian Empire!!'

At the head of the 30 Men, one woman was flying with great speed on her mount!!

She was the least wounded, but was the most fatigued of them all.

Yet she kept a calm and serene expression.

A Long curved sword by her waist!! She had a resolute gaze on.

Her hood hid her long green hair. Her delicate eyes were light yellow.

She was definitely a beauty people would fawn over.

And she was the person being pursued. She was well aware of the dangers…

After all those men were extremely dangerous. But she kept a good and cool head.

All the 30 Men were supposed to 'escort' her… But each of them knew…That if this woman wasn't here half of them would be dead!!

After all those 100 Men after their trail were as powerful as they were!!

Only her could be able to bridge the gap, and do 70 Men worth of job!!

Every time one of the 30 Men were in danger she would whip her sword and immediately stop him.

Every time, those men would feel deep shame…

After all…

It was them who were supposed to escort her!!

She clenched her teeth, her beautiful nose wrinkled:

'Tch! To think they figured out our plan.'

She had a wry smile on:

'Even…After Two weeks we couldn't shake them off…'

She clicked her tongue as the next course of action became appearent in her mind:

'Dammit…We can't let this monsters figure out our destination.'

In her mind…Even if they knew the power who they worked for, they still don't know where the rest of their organization is hidden.

And this is why they wanted to capture them. And most of all…

'This is why their leader is still allowing us to escape…'

How can she not see through their intentions?

They wanted to let them lead them to their HQ. In this kind of situation even if the other party knew of their intention, they would still do it.

Because…once they get to their HQ…They would have enough power to deal with them.

This was an open gamble. Either those 100 Men would be enough to wipe out their HQ or the 100 Men would be destroyed.
