Chapter 105: 105. Escaping

"Why do Girls rub their eyes when they wake up?" A disciple asked.

"I don’t know. Why?" Tyler asked.

"Because they don’t have balls to scratch." The disciple laughed at his own joke while covered in blood.

"heh .. ok alright. You pass." Tyler disappeared.

"Tell a joke, if it is lame, you are dead." Mana repeated what Tyler said to that Disciple earlier after defeating him. She looked at Tyler as if asking him why he did that?

"I left him alive for diversion." Tyler said as a mask appeared on his face. His presence completely vanished.

"Looks like you don’t need Ghost Mode." Mana said.

"Nah... I can’t phase through objects or become invisible without Ghost Mode. The problem is Ghost Mode always takes lots of energy." Tyler said.

"That mode needs more research." Mana said.

"Probably.. Even invisible works for little time and then needs cooldown and remember that Immortal guy just grabbed you even when we were combined. This technique has many flaws." Tyler replied.

They both disappeared and took the other direction. If that Disciple meets Senior Brother Yan Xi, he will point out the other way. He left him alive just to mislead Yan Xi.

"So what are you gonna do? Just Keep running?" Mana, who is floating beside him horizontally, asked.

"Let’s wait for the exit to appear and escape." Tyler said.

"Your voice seems different in the Mask." Mana said.

"Probably one of the functions of the Mask. I don’t even know how it works." Tyler touched his mask.

"Did you try copying it?"

Tyler stopped. His curiosity made him stop.

Inside a concealing Array on the top of a tree branch, Tyler removed the mask and placed it inside the copper pot. Then he took a copy. Tyler looked at the new mask. He placed the mask on the top of the old mask. Nothing happened. He is a bit disappointed.

Mana snatched the new mask and wore it on her face. The Phantom mask transformed into a plain mask with White and red design with golden coloured rings on it. There are also pointy ears. It turned into a fox phantom mask.

"Okay... Seems like this mask randomly turns into different patterns when different people wear it." Tyler said.

Mana’s presence disappeared and she appeared. She then removed the mask. She did the same again. She disappeared and appeared.

"Useless mask." Mana pouted. She placed the mask down.

"Chotto minute. Why does it activate immediately for you? Yet I have to pour a lot of blood?" Tyler asked in confusion. He recalled how he used lots of blood just to bound it to him.

"Because there are no curses in this mask. When you poured the blood, the curses got ejected. You were lucky Mana was awake and ate those curses." Mana took the mask back.

Tyler was about to remove the array but he saw someone approaching.

"Isn’t that?" His eyes lit up. He sneakily walked behind him.

"Senior brother, why are we moving towards the Exit? When that guy clearly went to the opposite side." A girl asked.

"That guy is fast. It is not easy to capture him. All we need to do is wait at the exit. Even if he doesn’t come, he will still lose the bet." Yan Xi explained.

"Senior brother, someone is there." A disciple quickly moved forward.

They saw their fellow disciple with a weak aura. His face is covered with bandages. He is leaning on a tree with a deadpan expression in his eyes.

"S- Senior brother, White is heading towards the exit. He just ran away." He pointed Towards the direction.

The senior brother’s eyes widened, he quickly ran towards the direction the Disciple pointed.

The disciples just waited. No one helped the disciple. They were too stingy to give him healing Pills.

"Quick!, to the exit. It will appear tomorrow morning." The senior brother flew and the disciples followed.

"Where are the participants? Only when he enters the exit, White will lose." Yan Xi asked.

The man covered in bandages raised his hand.

"If you want to take a piss. Do it faster." Yan Xi waved his hand.

"Not that, I am the Participant." The man said.

"Yontu? Is that you? Oh we weren’t able to recognise you." The disciples exclaimed.

The senior brother stopped and looked at him, "Why did he leave you alive, if he knew that you were the participant?"

Everyone looked at him with suspicion.

"He ran away when he sensed people nearby." The man opened his bandage and showed his face. The disciples stepped back. His mouth, nose are broken. Even his face is beyond recognition. But some disciples can identify him clearly. Even though he has a weak aura, as Long as they moved closer and observed him, they could confirm that it’s Yontu.

"Good. Let’s set up a trap and camp around that area." Yan Xi said.

The disciple covered himself with bandages and raised his hands again.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Yan Xi asked.

"Not that. I wanna take a piss."

"..."

The night arrived the disciples ate food and waited for Tyler. But he was nowhere to be seen.

"I think he is afraid."

"Such a coward."

"How can he reach higher stages? His Immortal practice will stop in the middle."

The disciples mocked him. The senior brother Yan Xi is inside his tent with some of his junior sisters. The other disciples didn’t care as if it was normal.

The morning arrived.

"Looks like that coward didn’t appear. I am the winner." Yan Xi proudly said.

The crowd cheered .

"We will exit after the competition ends. Hey Yontu, go through the exit." Yan Xi pointed to the exit.

Yontu nodded. His neck hurts.

"Don’t worry. I will take care of you after you exist." Yan Xi promised.

Yontu walked towards the exit. Everyone looked at him from a distance. He suddenly stopped before the exit. He turned around and looked at them.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Why are you stopping?"

The disciples asked in confusion. Some Disciples looked around to make sure there were no ambushes.

Yontu removed his bandage that covered his face. Everyone looked at his face and took it back. It was not the same face.

---

When Yontu was walking towards the exit. Suddenly, Tyler jumped before him. Before he could even react, a fist reached his face. He was almost lost his consciousness.

His nose got broken. Then Tyler lifted him up.

"Please don’t kill me. Please don’t kill me." Yontu pleaded.

"Please Don’t kill me. Please don’t kill me." This time it was not Yontu who said that. Yontu looked up in anger because Tyler was mocking him.

"Please don’t kill me, Please don’t kill me." Yontu’s anger turned into horror when he heard his own voice in Tyler’s mouth.

Then Tyler smashed Yontu’s beyond recognition. Then he summoned his mask and concealed his aura. Tyler then placed his hand on his face.

"Wait, don’t." Mana appeared. She understood Tyler is going to destroy his face because he doesn’t have the tools to disguise.

"Mana has a better Idea." She said,

---

Yontu stopped before the exit. He turned around.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Why are you stopping?"

Yontu removed his bandage that covered his face. Everyone looked at his face. It was a different face.

"Its you!" Senior Brother Yan Xi shouted in surprise.

It was Tyler White. At first Tyler’s plan was to disguise as Yontu. But there are many flaws in this plan, he might get caught. He even decided to smash his own face to trick the enemies. But Mana came up with Better Idea. She possessed Yontu and when taking the Piss break. Tyler swapped places with her. The Real Yontu is lying naked in the forest inside a Concealing formation. Even if other Disciples pass there, they won’t be able to find him.

The disciples already checked him once. So they didn’t suspect anything.

Tyler waved his hand and said, "Send the shop deeds to my Boss’ office."

Tyler exited.

The Fire Valley Disciples were totally speechless. They can feel heat rising around them. They quickly moved away and did not want to get caught in their senior brother’s anger.

┉┈ ◈ ◉ ◈ ┈┉

Lily Gomes looked at the shop deeds with interest.

"Woah.. look who it is. The guy who crushed the Fire Valley." Lily Gomes teased.

"Don’t Tease me Boss." Tyler said. He looked at the deeds and his eyes shined.

"Do you have money to invest in all of these?" She asked.

"I can arrange." Tyler said.

"How about partnership?" She asked.

Tyler smiled and thanked her. He agreed immediately. If Lily Gomes became a shareholder in Immortal Bytes, people like Yan Xi would never dare to touch the restaurants.

Meanwhile Yan Xi burned his whole house in anger. He just wants to burn White into ashes.

"Don’t worry. That guy is going to join the Investigation group to investigate the Giant Hand. You also go with them and kill him. I heard that Lily Gomes is not joining them." His master appeared behind him and said.

"Yes master." Yan Xi quickly knelt before him.
