Chapter 79: The hunters have began their chase

She analyzed Henry from head to toe, then she embraced him without any warning. She started to cry out loud.

"Big brother thank God you are alright, If something were to happen to you I won't be able to forgive myself"Lucy cried out loudly

He patted Lucy back softly and said.

"Don't carry, I am alright as you can see and aren't you a big girl. Big girls don't cry dear."Henry muttered softly under his breath.

Her crying decreased a little bit after hearing Henry's words. A few minutes later, she stopped crying all together.

"Lucy there is something that I must tell you right now"Henry whispered to her ears.

She nodded her head slightly, signaling Henry to tell her what he wants her to know.

"We aren't out of danger just yet, the reinforcements of the enemies have arrived sometime ago. They are actively looking for us. They have four commanders and the leader of their army.

Their cultivation realm is much higher than mine.

The reinforcement is something that I can't defeat currently so we must go to the nearest city for protection." Henry whispered to her ears.

When Lucy heard that, she fell in her own thoughts for a second before nodding her head in approval.

"Ok,"She replied.

At that moment, Henry's interface trembled slightly, he opened up his interface to take a look at it.

He had received another notification.

(You have triggered the second quest of the, The successor of the Heavenly Primordial Saint.

The successor of the Heavenly Primordial Saint.

Tasks completed.

1/???

Current task: Escape this forest with Lucy not getting serious injury)

As he read the new notification, he nodded his head in approval. He then told Lucy to stand up. Then he carried her on his back and slowly started to walk out from the cave.

He looked in a certain direction far away from him, he noticed slight movement in the distance. His face turned slightly troubled.

"So there are more enemies who are after me" He muttered under his breath

At the same time, at a certain distance away from the cave.

A group of five cultivators were jumping from one tree to another, while maintaining their balance, the branches were really thin.

Indeed, the squads of cultivators moving through the dense forest were astonishingly swift and silent.

Their movements were orchestrated with a level of skill and training that allowed them to navigate the terrain without leaving a trace.

Each step they took, each branch they brushed against, was executed with precision..

One of them said,

"Let's hope that we don't meet the one responsible for destroying this base or else our death would be certain" One of them said.

The others nodded their heads, however only one didn't.

"Well we will only have to get his cords if we can do that we will be generously rewarded so I think this danger is worth the rewards." Another one replied.

The others didn't immediately reply because they were certainly interested in the rewards but when they thought about the possibility of death, then the thoughts of rewards left their mind like water leaving a broken dam.

None of them replied to them, even though they want the rewards, they aren't brave enough to put their life on the line.

They just kept jumping from one tree to another, occasionally looking around them, soon an incredible strong pressure bore down on his body.

This pressure caused them to fall down to the ground. The five cultivators smashed into branches, however the branches aren't enough to cause them serious injuries.

The branches broke one after another, minor scratches appeared on the body of the cultivator's, soon a blue flash of light appeared in front of them. An horizontal slash was sent flashing towards them.

This blue flash of light was off course Henry, in Ocean of Death. He coldly looked at them and muttered.

"I will capture them and try to get as much info as possible from them" He muttered under his breath.

The sudden horizontal slash tore through the air, hurtling toward the approaching squads of cultivators with an incredible speed.

The element of surprise caught them off guard, and before they could react, the slash struck them directly in the chest.

Blood was constantly flowing out from their chest, they held onto the wound as hard as they could to stop the bleeding.

Soon, all three of them slammed to the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The blue flash of light appeared in front of them, they were warily looking at the flash of light.

However, a second later when he stood still, his body became visible, it became clear that he was a human.

"THIS IS THE ENEMY, HURRY UP AND INFORM THE BOSS ABOUT HIM" One of them roared.

The others were immediately alerted but Henry's incredible aura didn't allow them to get up.

They helplessly watched as he got closer and closer, soon a cultivator sent a telepathy message to the other.

"Have you sent the cords to his Excellency???" The strongest cultivator among them asked.

The other cultivator just shook his head and sent another telepathy message in response.

"No I couldn't because the device had been destroyed when we were hit by that sword slash" He replied, his voice carrying a tinge of fear.

The other cultivators were about to curse him but before they got the chance, Henry appeared in front of the strongest cultivator.

He put his ripping sword over the shoulder and said,

"Tell me everything that you know about the assassination or else be prepared to experience the worst pain in this world" Henry said in the coldest voice that he could.

Cold sweat was dripping from their forehead as they felt mortal danger coming from Henry.

"No I won't tell you….." Before he could continue, Henry swung his sword at his eyes, completely blinding him at his left side.

"Now will you tell me or do you want to suffer even more" Henry said coldly.

The cultivator kept roaring in agony completely ignoring Henry's words, it's quite normal since he is in unimaginable pain.

It had to be noted that his eye had literally been slashed by Henry when he was conscious so the pain that he is going through is unimaginable.

"Stop crying, you are making my eardrums bleed by your annoying voice. I will count from 1 to 5 if you don't stop by then, then the pain you will go through is unimaginable." Henry announced

His words resounded like thunder in the ears of the cultivator. The cultivator immediately gritted his teeths so hard that his gums started to bleed heavily.

Seeing this, Henry nodded his head in satisfaction and then he said.

"Good job guys,I didn't even need to count. Now be a good boy and tell me everything you know about, "he added.

The cultivators nodded their heads and then began to speak everything from the beginning.

"We are just normal soldiers of an army of the organization. All of a sudden, we received an emergency reinforcement request from an important base.

Around 3000 soldiers received this mission, all of them were cultivators. After a while, we rushed towards the base where reinforcements were requested under the leadership of a Superior Fragmentize realm expert.

Also there were 3 more Superior Fragmentize realm commanders." The cultivator took a minute to catch his breath first.

After catching his breath, he continued to speak without any gaps.

"As we got nearer and nearer to the base, we realized that the base had been completely destroyed. The leader was furious then he ordered all the commanders to go search for the one responsible for destroying the base since he was near.

He told the army to form 600 squads of 5 and go to search for you. So 600 squads are looking for you including the commander and the leader." He told him everything he knew.

When Henry heard these words, he froze in shock. 3000 people looking for him was not a matter to scoff off. 4 of them were even beyond his limits.

"So I must change my plans slightly, uh" Henry muttered with a sigh.
