Chapter 79: A Wild Chase

Roar!

Ahead was the Purple Lightning Tiger and behind was the Earthen Boar. Just why did this girl have to come here? Couldn't she have chosen any other direction to escape?

''You there!'' I called out, ''Go away from here. If you dare bring that dangerous kitten over here, I'll feed you to this boar behind me.''

To be honest, that was not even a threat. She was at Viscera Purifying first rank just like me, how could one be threatened by another practitioner at the same stage and rank?

''Ah, okay! I'll run to the left!''

''No wait, damn it!'' That was the direction the pond was in. Luck truly wasn't on my side this time.

I had no time to stay there and condemn my luck and curse this girl, though. The boar was catching up so I quickly activated my movement technique and ran behind her. I was, of course, faster and in no time got ahead of her.

Her movement technique appeared to give her greater maneuvering capability while mine was all about linear speed. I cared not what happened to the person behind me even though she kept calling for help, annoyingly so.

Purple Lightning Tiger was, however, a mid-grade two demon beast known for its speed. It overtook both of us in a matter of minutes. I was ahead so I changed its target to me instead of going for the girl who must have already run awa-

''Mister, this way!'' she shouted while hurriedly running between two tall Hafu trees.

'Is she foolish?' I couldn't figure out just what was going on. Well, maybe she just cared about a random stranger rather than saving herself. As ridiculous as it sounded, this could be true. Not everybody was as selfish as me.

I was about to turn back but would the tiger just stay there and let me go away? That happened in stories but not in reality. I got a fierce claw attack from the tiger. That destabilized me for a second and I was running in the opposite direction.

Scratches appeared on my arm. Thankfully, I had the spirit sense to know that the beast was about to attack me beforehand. Even then, blood still spilled.

The wound wasn't that deep but even one or two droplets of blood were enough for the boar to smell from far away and come in my direction.

I hadn't forgotten about that trouble. Now, two beasts were behind me. I took out my sword and shouted, ''Idiot! Get out of here or be my decoy, don't just stand there watching while I get chased around!''

I had gotten quite close to her while saying that. I didn't stop, however, and brushed past her while she stood there, shocked.

'How did she even reach Viscera Purifying in the first place?' I hardly had the luxury to think about that question. However, one couldn't help but think after seeing this short girl in red and yellow cheongsam who looked to be just 17 or 18, finally acting up when the beast was already in front of her.

''Aaaaaaa!'' she cried and attacked the tiger with a fist technique. A brave one, indeed. The beast just swatted her away.

I turned my head to see her thrown to the ground after just one attack. The girl quickly got to her feet and made a mad dash towards me. It seemed her brain was finally working properly… the fuck, she was coming at me once again.

''Save me!!''

''Go die somewhere else! Don't drag me with you!''

''Nooooo! I swear I won't try to hunt a rank two beast next time!''

''...'' I was utterly speechless. She deserved death.

But, I was surprised this time by her speed. She used the same movement technique to catch up to me. Hmm, it was a temporary burst of speed. Even though that was a pretty good technique she had.

Roarrrrr!!

Uh oh, just how much had she annoyed that Tiger? The boar had backed away after we ran out of a mile range. Earthen Boars weren't as fast and I had only trespassed its territory.

The beast might have wanted to eat me but wasn't going to go through the trouble of catching me. It was a lazy one.

My feet blurred as I increased my speed and tried to outrun her. Maybe the tiger would be satisfied with just her. I mean, she was the one that first tried to kill this beast. It must have quite a grudge against her.

That was just pure fantasy, though. This girl was now as fast as me and tailed me in whichever direction I ran.

''You'll be held responsible if I die here. See the wounds, it's because of you.'' I was absolutely irritated.

''Okay, I will ask my father to give you the best treatment… if we survive this,'' she said. Heh, how easy to say, daddy's little bitch. I wanted her to stop tailing me.

''Why are you even following me?''

''I don't know!''

She jumped over a tree branch like me. Foot to foot, breath to breath, she was perfectly copying me. Despite what was happening, I was going in the direction I had previously planned.

'This won't do, I need to get rid of this tiger.' This thought ran through my mind. We were nearing the pond and at this rate, the beast would scare away any Flying Deer that might be residing in that place.

I chopped a tree while running ahead and it started falling slowly. The girl running beside me uttered a surprised question, ''What are you doing?''

''Can't you see? I am trying to slow down the beast,'' I replied. I started cutting down more trees which piled up in front of the Purple Lightning Tiger. The beast was larger than a normal tiger so it could jump over those fallen trees but I kept cutting more.

My strength was 20 times higher than a normal human's, so cutting down trees with just one slash was not anything to be amazed at. I was more worried for my sword's edges as such reckless use was bound to dull them.

However this tiger wouldn't be a grade two beast if it could be stopped with trees.

''Wha-''

With another loud roar, the beast straight up jumped over three falling tree crowns and came for us with a bloodthirsty mouth. Right over us, its large body overshadowed ours.

At that moment, me and her simultaneously looked at eachother. Her face was filled with dread while mine was something akin to madness.

Instead of running, I suddenly pointed my sword upward, the tiger's approaching belly reflected on its shiny tip.
