Chapter 39 Enemy
39 Enemy
Levi arrived in front of the mayor's office where from there he could see the huge forest behind the office.
The trees were so tall where there were some that reached a hundred meters in height.
Of course, this was also due to the changing world. Two years ago, the average tree in the forest was only 10 to 20 meters tall. Now they were many times taller, growing in a short period of time.
Levi observed the mayor's office which looked very dark.
From the looks of it, there was a recent attack as there was a faint smell of blood.
'Did that woman also target the mayor?' Levi wondered.
He then jumped onto the roof of the office.
When standing there, he could sense two faint auras deep within the forest.
His keen perception allowed him to even estimate what the owners of those two auras were doing.
One seemed to be attacking the other with a strong killing intent.
Shua!
Levi jumped again, enveloping his body with a dark aura so that his figure almost merged with the night.
It was a terrifying destructive power but of course it could also be used for concealment.
He moved within the forest through tree branch after tree branch.
His movements were structured and steady so that none of the trees trembled from his movements.
In one minute, he jumped over dozens of trees.
In the point of view of a 15th stage cultivator like him, just an urban forest couldn't be considered too vast.
Not long after, he arrived at an open location.
It was open because the trees were uprooted until their roots were out of the ground.
Levi immediately saw Jenny's figure when he stared at the open area.
The woman looked a mess where the bottom of her coat had been cut off but she was still wearing it.
She was trying to run away from the black bones that were sliding relentlessly towards her.
In fact, there were already three bones stuck in her body, one in her leg, then in her waist, and shoulder.
Her skin had already become so pale that it looked like she was about to bleed out.
Surprisingly, the one who attacked her was also a woman.
She should only be about 20 years old, the same age as Jenny.
She had very thick black hair that reached her thighs while her skin was just as pale as Jenny's injured state.
In terms of face, she was not European, Chinese, Arabian, or any nation on earth.
It was a completely different type where her eyes were a very clear pink color.
She was wearing a black robe but there were quite a few accessories on her body, from a pair of long earrings, a shiny diamond necklace, to bracelets on both hands.
With just a wave of the hand, she could create black bones that slid straight towards Jenny.
Her expression was ferocious while her eyes were extremely cold.
Her desire to kill Jenny seemed to be very high.
"Where is the lover you said, hmph, if he still doesn't come in a minute, I'm afraid you're dead," said the woman.
She spoke in almost perfectly accented English.
Perhaps she had a personal hatred towards Jenny, so she taunted her as she saw her getting cornered.
"Evelyn, don't think victory is yours!" Jenny replied in a loud voice as she tried to jump up the tree.
Unfortunately, she failed as she tilted her body to avoid the oncoming bones.
Bruak!
She fell on a pile of roots, making it difficult for her to gain a stable footing.
"Still dare to speak!" The woman by the name of Evelyn seemed to become even angrier as Jenny spoke.
She jumped at her then a long black bone appeared in her hand.
"Bitch, die..." The woman shouted.
After that, she threw the long bone at Jenny.
As far as Levi's current observation, it seemed that Jenny had consumed a certain poison, which caused chaos to her powers so that she could not use her powers properly, only able to use her powers to the extent of controlling her physique.
That was the reason she was so helpless.
It seemed that she had been tricked into falling for a scheme.
Seeing the onslaught of death coming at the woman, Levi finally made his move. Otherwise, she would really die.
Shua! Shua!
He threw his sword towards the long bone while he himself lunged towards the black-haired woman.
BANG! BANG!
His sword slammed into the bone, pushing it in the other direction while he kicked her back until she collapsed.
Her cultivation was at the same 21nd Stage as Jenny's cultivation.
It was still within Levi's range to make her fall as long as he attacked silently.
Incidentally, she fell on a tree so her face hit the tree.
"Bastard!" She cursed in a tone full of anger.
When she stood up, she picked up the tree, and swung it at Levi.
BANG!
Levi punched the tree to shreds.
He always had his stat points evenly distributed to his physique, naturally he had far above average physical strength.
Perhaps the Seven Great Paths seemed to be no way to strengthen the physique, but the energy of the Seven Paths when fused with his body made his physique so perfect that no technique could strengthen the physique more than the Seven Great Paths.
Perhaps the woman was wary, so she jumped back first to keep her distance.
"Who are you?" she asked with her eyes narrowed.
When she saw him, Jenny immediately looked pleased.
On the other hand, Levi did not respond to the woman's question.
He drew his sword and then lunged at her again.
"Hmph, only at the 15th stage!"
The woman quickly realized Levi's cultivation.
She naturally became unworried towards him.
Another bone appeared in her hand, only the size of a sword.
She advanced, slashing the bone at him, to which he responded with a slash of his sword. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Clang!
The bone and sword smashed into each other and the result was that the bone slipped out of the woman's hand while she herself staggered backwards.
Actually, the gap in their strength was almost nonexistent, perhaps she could even unleash greater strength than Levi due to her much higher cultivation. However, she did not have the physical advantage while Levi's physique was too strong.
