Chapter 478: Tactical Retreat

Within his range of divine sense, David could see the group of seven people gazing directly at him from the top of a large tree a few hundred meters away from him.

Due to the obstruction from the trees, it should have been impossible for even a peak earth realm expert to sense them which was why they hadn't believed David and only assumed he was been cautious.

But they weren't aware that David could see them clearly. Even the expression in their faces couldn't escape his divine sense. 

David was gulping down his third bottle of water when he noticed something about the group. Before the group, two people stood at the forefront. It didn't take much thinking to speculate that they were the leaders in the group.

The lady had an expression full of coldness and indifference, while the other male person exuded confidence and also an air of being casual. 

Observing them even more, David's expression slowly turned solemn. Although the young lady might have hidden it, but she was actually a mid earth realm expert. 

David couldn't help but be surprised. The lady's talent was very astonishing, the old man would be very happy to possess her, but it was a pity he was already dead. 

But that's beside the point. If he was to be attacked by this group, even if they would be unable to seriously injure him in a direct confrontation, they would be able to easily lock him down leaving him no chance to escape. 

David couldn't help but curse at the sacred realm. The restriction placed on him was very heavy even his bodily strength had been locked away together with his genetic strength. Otherwise, why would he be afraid of a few shrimps at the earth realm? He speculated he need just a few moves to deal with them all. 

A pale of water appeared in his hands and David washed his hair and skin with it. Afterwards, he undressed right before them and he gazed at their direction and smirked, particularly using his divine sense to examine the ladies expression. 

After the show, he wore a new top and dark pant. He didn't put on his extra robes this time.

The group watched him expressionlessly. 

"He doesn't look like much. Why are we waiting instead of attacking him? " One of the group members said with furrowed brows.

"Stupid!" Another member hit him by the head. 

"Why did you hit me!" The person whispered in anger. 

"Can't you see the amount of dead Sickle-Mouth insect surrounding him?"

It seems the young man was just noticing the insects. His expression changed and he seem to have regarded David with a certain amount of seriousness.

Because of the large distance, he wasn't able to see too much of the detail but now that he was made aware of it, he finally figured out what the black dots around David were. 

They continued to observe him, looking for weaknesses the could find in this short amount of time. Even when he was butt naked, they didn't revert their gaze.

"Lu Sheng, we should attack now." The lady said softly. 

"No, let's wait a bit." Lu Sheng shook his head softly as he responded, still gazing at David. 

David's bones crackled in joy. It had been so long since he had a satisfying fight like that. And while he still wished to fight more, he knew he was overpowered. This new group of people would not be so easy to deal with. 

Rather than stupidly confronting them, even while knowing he wouldn't win, he'd rather retreat. It was the Legendary tactical retreat, he sure as hell wasn't fleeing for his life.

David walked up to the two rank four beasts and ripped out their genetic core from their skull.

Placing it within his storage ring he turned around and started walking into the forest. 

His back was now facing them. "Now is the time."

Young man Lu Sheng said. The group nodded their heads and was about to jump towards David when David turned into a stream of shadows and started to flee as though something was pursuing him. 

Lu Sheng staggered while the young lady frowned slightly. The rest of the team also paused as they saw Da behaviour.

"We've been made! After him!" Lu Sheng growled loudly and his body sprang from the tree he was at, jumping from tree to tree. 

The young lady wasn't at all slow, her body left several afterimages on several trees while her real body was already a hundred kilometers away. 

David laughed coldly, they were not so stupid after all. His speed pierced through the air like an arrow, not at all reducing as he used the body strength to move, while been aided with the floating wind technique. 

While the Floating wind technique made one's body as light as feather in its Ultimum state, the speed one could achieve ultimately depended on one's physical body. 

This was the main reason David had immediately learnt the technique once he hit hold of it. Within the sacred realm, there was no one with a stronger physical attribute than him, leaving him with absolute confidence that when he chose to truly flee instead, there was no one who would be catch up with him. They would ultimately only eat his dust. 

"I will see you guys later." David chuckled as he waved backwards. In that instant, the ground beneath him started cracking, forming spider web shaped mark. Even with his weight as light as a feather, the force he was using was still able to shatter the ground. 

Boom! Whoosh!! 

His speed increased drastically as he moved through the forest like a blazing meteor. 

Suddenly, with his divine sense, he noticed the young man suddenly nodding at the lady. 

The young lady halted her movement and then formed various hand seals. Her body then turned ethereal, transparent and she ultimately disappeared like a ghost. 

David was stunned. But then he shook his head slightly. There were just various mental techniques out there, he still couldn't get used to it.
