Boom!

Thunderbolt lived up to its name—every shot rumbled like a bolt of thunder. Within the scope, the left side of that giant tree exploded violently. A large defect was produced therein as the bullet pierced through the tree and flew into the mist.

A black shadow flickered on the right side of the tree and vanished into the mist.

“Damn, I picked wrong again.” Qianye couldn’t help but curse as he put Thunderbolt away.

There was no need for a second glance. Qianye could confirm that the fleeing shadow was that dark race assassin. This miscalculation had sent them back to square one—things would, once again, be decided by who discovered the other party first. 

The two had been entangled for several days, continuously switching roles between hunter and prey. However, neither could deal with the other. Qianye had realized by now how dangerous this opponent really was.

All in all, Qianye held a slight advantage. He would sometimes discover that Eden had gone to great lengths to set up traps, using his followers as bait. That one time, Qianye was forced to pay a steep price after killing the other party’s subordinates and was badly wounded.
