Lin Fang with the twin daggers and Meng Liu with the spear, both fought each other like two vicious wolves. Lin Fang was injured and tired after a huge battle while the other one was completely fine. Thus, the battle was in Meng Liu's favor who used his spear to make sure that Lin Fang couldn't get within attack range of him. Of course, he also kept an eye out for any throwing daggers that might come his way.

But during the whole process, even Meng Liu didn't notice that Lin Fang's expression still hadn't changed since the beginning as it was hidden under his cloak. While the two fought, they were slowly moving toward the gate of the castle. The circle also moved back a bit to give the two fighter's space.

The movement of a distance of ten meters so that no one would notice took over five minutes of hard work on Lin Fang's part. The moment there was only ten meters left, Lin Fang jumped back increasing the gap between him and the gate once again. Meng Liu who still hadn't realized the small changes in his surroundings also jumped back a bit as he looked at Lin Fang with a slight surprise and an unwillingness to admit defeat in his eyes. After fighting Lin Fang for over five minutes, he knew that he would be no match for this demon if he wasn't covered in injuries.

"Let's end this.", Meng Liu shouted as he took a weird stance. His legs stretched and the spear seemed to twirl like a serpent in the air as he charged towards Lin Fang. This was his ace in the hole, his best move.

"Humph! You should feel lucky to dye under this move demon. NINE REVOLVING SNAKES FIRST STANCE!!!", He shouted as the small distance between the two was covered in an instant.

For the first time since his eyes turning blue, the expression on Lin Fang's face changed but not to surprise or fear no, instead, a wide smile appeared on his face as he sneered at Meng Liu as if he was a clown. Meng Liu could, of course, not see his face, otherwise, he would surely have realized that something was terribly wrong.

Lin Fang's eyes followed the spear which seemed to be moving like a snake, quick, unpredictable and lethal. To a normal person, Meng Liu's move would feel very powerful and even the surrounding soldiers felt so, but an expert would surely frown when he saw Meng Liu's move. An expert would frown not because his move is weak, no, the move was quite strong, it was just that Meng Liu couldn't control his spear well enough to complement its strength making his stance full of holes.

It was like a person who drives below forty kilometers per hour and is suddenly given a race car and he has to drive it at three hundred kilometers per hour. Even though the car has the horsepower to reach that speed, the driver doesn't have the skill. The same thing was happening with Meng Liu's spear, he had a strong move but not the skill to use it. His skill was only enough to bully people weaker than him but lose completely in the face of the strong.

Lin Fang could see a lot of these holes which he could exploit to deal a severe blow to Meng Liu but he didn't do so because he knew, that if anything happened to him, the surrounding guards would surely eat Lin Fang alive. Thus Lin Fang did something completely unexpected, he ran forward at full sped used one of the obvious errors in Meng Liu's stance to dodge the incoming spear easily.

Now the situation had changed, Lin Fang was standing towards the gate while Meng Liu was behind him. A blunder, that is what Meng Liu had done in this game of chess between him and Lin Fang throwing away a sure win. If Meng Liu hadn't given in to his emotions and continued to use his men as cannon fodder, he would surely be able to kill Lin Fang who would die because of too much blood loss, but now...

Lin Fang didn't stop his advance as he ran towards the gate at full speed. There were only five soldiers at the gate who were ready to stop him but Lin Fang wasn't planning to fight them at all. He kicked the one of was in lead in the stomach and used his body as a stepping stone to jump and reach the gate which was closed. After that, nothing.

Lin Fang who was there a second ago had completely disappeared. By the time Meng Liu and the other guards realized what had happened, Lin Fang was already gone. Meng Li turned to look in the direction of the other thief in hope of clues but it was also at this moment that the guards, Meng Liu included realized that Heavenly Dagger was missing as well.

"Find them.", Meng Liu screamed as rage and fear filled his body and soul. If he had been able to capture the thieves then no matter how many men died, he would surely be rewarded but now that he had not only lost the duo but also a large number of his soldiers, he was in a situation where he might even lose his post.

The soldiers in the surroundings after hearing Meng Liu's scream started an all-out search in the Castle and many soldiers were sent outside to call in the help of the patrolling soldiers and scour the city for the demon and his teammates traces.

Meanwhile, the moment the Lin Fang inside the castle walls disappeared, another one appeared outside the walls.

Flash:

Teleport to a distance of a maximum of 5 meters at any time.

Cooldown: 5 minute

Lin Fang had used this ability to appear outside the city gates without actually physically opening them. The loophole in the skill allowed him to get out of the castle, teleporting through walls. The moment he stepped outside, he immediately used human appearance as he dashed forward. Since the bells started ringing, the whole town already knew that there was a thief in the castle and the city was already being patrolled by the officers of the army and various troops. All they needed was the word that the thief had escaped and they would start a city-wide search.

The blue color in Lin Fang's eyes had started to weaken the moment he stepped outside of the city walls. But even as it dimmed, Lin Fang could still use a few of its abilities as he hid from patrolling guards and looked for a certain something.

He was looking for an entrance to the sewers to escape from the city. Unfortunately, the city was designed in a way so that there were no sewers in the surroundings of the castle in case enemies used them to attack from the underground.

By the time he located one, his eyes were already black and only a small blue dot was proof that his eyes had changed colors. With heavy wounds covering his body and clothes covered in blood, he moved the lid of the sewers. Before jumping in, he once again turned around as he had done many times through his journey here to look for any tails. But his time he looked at the bloody trail that he had left behind. It was hard to see in the night but the effects from the blue eyes seemed to be able to help him spot the marks left behind.

When morning came, the soldiers would surely be able to spot it easily as well and follow the trail to this place. They would surely know that he ran away using the sewers and a search in the sewers would begin. Lin Fang would be captured if he didn't leave before the search of this area or the sewers began, the last thing on his mind right now was Heavenly Dagger who he had heartlessly left behind in the castle. He should be alright, Lin Fang prayed in his heart as he jumped inside.

Right now, his body felt weak like he had drawn a horse carriage with his bare hands over a mountain. At this moment the color of his eyes returned to normal as even the small blue dot vanished and he fell unconscious the second he landed inside the 'nice' smelling sewers.
