Chapter 388: 0387 Cat catches mouse

Thud...

Inside the small tavern, tables and chairs shattered, sending wood chips flying.

Caroline felt a warmth at her chest as a metallic sweetness rose in her throat, and her complexion instantly paled.

Adam slowly lowered his arm and said, "Were it not for the royalty behind you, you’d be a corpse right now."

Caroline chuckled. "Indeed, as one of the strongest members of the Kondgil family, Caroline can take pride in having withstood your strike!"

Adam glanced at Caroline, his voice very faint, "Among women, your strength certainly ranks in the top three!"

Adam did not persecute Caroline any further. After speaking, he immediately chased after Ye Qiu and left the tavern.

The light remained dim, and in the tavern, now with only Caroline left, suddenly, with a pfff sound, Caroline’s mouth finally sprayed out the blood she couldn’t suppress any longer.

Her face became even paler, almost devoid of any color.

"Ye Qiu, you must escape...," Caroline clutched her chest, sitting down on the ground. Although Adam hadn’t struck with all his strength, it was enough to severely injure her.

As Adam stepped out of the tavern, suddenly, a flash of Sword Qi slashed towards him.

"Child’s play!" Adam lifted his finger, as if performing the Vajra Finger, and actually caught the Sword Qi in an instant.

Bang!

The Sword Qi exploded, Adam’s finger might as well have been an iron Vajra hand, clashing against the Sword Qi with his physical body.

"You actually didn’t run away immediately but stayed here to severely wound me when the opportunity arose!" After shattering the Sword Qi, Adam looked at Ye Qiu with slight astonishment.

Ye Qiu hadn’t fled. Caroline had blocked Adam for him. How could Ye Qiu just run away and save his own life.

Since he had left the tavern, he had immediately concealed his aura, hiding his attack, waiting for Adam to come chasing out.

Sure enough, in no time at all, Adam stepped out of the tavern, and Ye Qiu suddenly burst forth, launching a powerful strike.

He mobilized all the True Qi within his body, pushing the Kusanagi Sword to nearly its strongest potential.

Such a strike, not to mention the later stages of True Qi, even at the peak of the later stages would have difficulty intercepting it, yet Adam’s casual handling greatly intimidated Ye Qiu, suggesting that this man’s strength might be beyond the peak of the late True Qi stage that he had estimated.

"Could he be even stronger than the peak of the late True Qi stage?" Ye Qiu’s mind roared with shock. Could it be that Adam was an expert beyond the True Qi realm?

Ye Qiu’s heart skipped a beat, this guess was the last outcome he wanted to predict, but Adam’s strength laid it bare before him, clearly not just any ordinary late True Qi peak expert.

Ye Qiu’s body flashed, leaping backward. He could no longer stay here, for if Adam caught up with him, he might truly be doomed.

Adam smiled faintly, to him, Ye Qiu was like a moth in his palm, unable to fly out of his grasp.

His figure flicked, and he rapidly caught up.

Ye Qiu urged the remaining True Qi in his body, his feet sprinting across the ground, his figure becoming faster and faster, like a fleeting shadow, a spark of flint, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the streets, heading towards the outskirts.

"You can’t hide." Adam followed right behind, not in a hurry, as hunting down Ye Qiu was not a difficult task for him; his attitude now was simply toying with Ye Qiu.

The two raced past pedestrians, swift as the wind, here one moment and gone the next.

"Huh, I swear I just saw a figure sprinting past me." A couple walking on the street suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"You must be seeing things," said the young girl as she looked at the boy with furrowed brows, speaking nonsense. She couldn’t help but shake her arm.

"Could there really be ghostly apparitions?" The boy’s face turned pale, his eyes scanning the surroundings in fear. The girl, now frightened too, tightened her grip on the boy’s hand, and they both quickly left the area.

Ye Qiu and Adam had no idea that their speed had made someone think they saw ghosts, scaring them into running back home.

The road beneath their feet gradually turned to gravel, and with a leap, Ye Qiu covered seven or eight meters, especially when sprinting with all his might, his speed was comparable to a small car.

Adam followed closely behind, a smile constantly on his face, not at all worried about Ye Qiu escaping.

The two quickly left the city, venturing into the wilderness.

The land area of Italy is not large, and the population is equally sparse, resulting in few people visiting the mountainous areas.

As Ye Qiu ran, he estimated that in one go, he sprinted over thirty kilometers.

However, that persistent gaze from behind stuck close, never able to shake it off.

Adam was always lagging behind. Ye Qiu felt that his opponent was not using his full strength to chase him, but rather deliberately hanging back, forcing him to keep using his True Qi.

In just these short ten minutes, his True Qi had depleted from the ninth level to just the third, pondering what to do next against his enemy.

Even Ye Qiu couldn’t help but frown deeply. With such little True Qi left, could he safely escape from Adam’s hands?

Ye Qiu remained silent, but he had an answer in his heart.

Ranked Ten individuals, who even kill mutant beasts for their positions, and here Ye Qiu had attracted an SSS-tier mutant beast, showing that the Condiglieri family was ready to strike back.

Ye Qiu let out a bitter smile. According to the information provided by Caroline, the Condiglieri family had only three SSS-tier powerhouses, and now, he was facing one of them. Compared to the other Ranked Ten individuals, wasn’t he just too lucky?

Ye Qiu found himself in a predicament, for even martial arts seniors would find an SSS-tier mutant beast daunting, let alone Ye Qiu.

Survival was now crucial. Ye Qiu did not plan to take down his opponent because Adam’s strength exceeded his expectations.

No wonder Caroline had told him to run quickly; she must have known the terror of an SSS-tier mutant beast.

With no time to think further about survival, he had to exert every ounce of strength, for Ye Qiu felt that Adam he was facing might well be of a legendary status, at least possessing the strength of half-step legendary tier.

Unable to match his opponent’s strength, he could only outsmart him.

Ye Qiu’s immediate thought was to evade Adam’s pursuit.

Looking toward the nearby mountain peaks, the bright white snow, and the blackened tips left by a volcanic eruption, standing tall among the clouds.

After a moment of focused observation, Ye Qiu decided to head straight there, perhaps finding a slim chance of escape from Adam.

Adam sneered. In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks were futile; he didn’t believe Ye Qiu could escape his pursuit.

Thus, he let Ye Qiu run towards the mountain, taking steps that effortlessly covered ten meters each.

At that moment, Ye Qiu finally reached the base of the mountain, looking back to see Adam twenty meters away, his gaze playful.

Glancing up at the dark mountain tip, Ye Qiu clenched his teeth and headed straight into the forest.

"The cat and mouse game, officially begins!" Adam stood at the mountain’s base, watching Ye Qiu disappear into the woods, and rubbed his fingers together. The next moment, he vanished from the spot.
