In the mountains and forests, Liu Tong pursued all the way, but completely lost Chen Nan's trail at a mountain stream.
He was unsure whether Chen Nan had gone downstream or upstream along the stream, crossing the mountains and making his escape.
No matter what, he couldn't catch up now; Chen Nan certainly wouldn't stand there and let himself be killed.
"Damn it, damn it!"
The anger nearly consumed Liu Tong; he drew his long sword and vented freely, the sword light immediately flattening the surrounding trees and shattering the ground.
After a good while, he gradually calmed down.
This time, not only did he fail to capture Chen Nan, but Hu Chuan and Zhao Kai were also killed by Chen Nan; it was obvious even without thinking that Grave punishment from Master Xuanming would await him upon his return.
"I can't go back; I must kill Chen Nan, otherwise I'm dead..."
