"This is a lot better than I expected…" Vincent muttered as he handed over the sword to Tara. This weapon shouldn't be less than 500 gold coins so it is indeed a very generous reward. Helping them in their time of need is indeed a good choice. He would certainly not receive this couple of swords if they did not encounter any enemies along the road.

"Ehem… Tara, this sword can help with our identity. The Primal Sword Sect was quite righteous even if they are known as Sword Maniacs to the public. There shouldn't be a problem displaying them." Vincent explained. T

Though he wanted to enhance the sword he had given to Tara, it can be done later. For now, he plans to enhance and even ascend his sword first.

"That's true… But I'm more interested to know why you wanted to stay here?" Tara asked as she picked up the sword. She wasn't too interested in this weapon but since this would help them in their journey, she didn't mind carrying it with her.

Besides, she also wanted to lie low since she hasn't fully recovered yet.

"Hmmm… You probably noticed by now. I think that we're being followed and those people following us did not plan to leave after Elder Han and the others left… It means that their target wasn't the White Tiger they have, but the two of us." Vincent analyzed.

Tara faintly smiled as soon as she heard this. To be honest, she already knows about it but she wanted to hear it from Vincent.

"Impressive… Is it because you've become a 3-Star Aura Knight? Even Elder Han didn't notice their presence."

"Hmm… That's true. I really benefited a lot from that white orb."

His decent Soul Sense allowed him to notice them. Although he wasn't too adept with it, he can still use it to sense the surrounding Aura without being detected as long as he was careful about it.

"Should we give them an opportunity to attack us?" Tara suggested as she sat on the bed.

Vincent thought for a moment before nodding his head.

"That's not a bad idea…"

***

An hour after the two made their plan, Vincent and Tara came out of the inn wearing identical gray overcoats they bought in the tailor shop yesterday.

They did not head towards the carriage they left outside but they actually went headed towards the mountain.

This town doesn't have many sources of income. However, foraging for herbs or medicinal plants is quite famous here. As long as you have the ability to protect yourself, you can easily find a few precious types of grass even just in the outer part of the forest.

"There are a few beasts ahead…" Tara reminded Vincent after 10 minutes of walking.

"Yes. Let's slowly take them out then…"

"Got it."

The beasts ahead were just a couple of Cinder Rabbits.

They may not pose some problems to them but to most people, these Cinder Rabbits can be very dangerous. They were like a sentient fireball once they started attacking!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As expected, as soon as they reached the beasts' territory, two balls of fire rushed in their direction.

Of course, they are not really balls of fire but the rabbits that turned into one by curling themselves after jumping at a high speed.

Vincent and Tara avoided them quite easily at first… They both raised their weapons in preparation to counter.

However, it didn't bid well! The rabbits can actually change their direction mid-air!

"Aaahh! That's cheating!"

Vincent was hit on his stomach as he stumbled for a moment. As for Tara, she was also hit but at the very least, she can take the attack head-on without being thrown away.

This continued for a while as they couldn't kill the rabbit.

"Should we escape?" Tara suggested with a smile.

"No! We can do this!"

Vincent shook his head as he concentrated. He's planning to end this fight after the next attack!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Cinder Rabbits seem to be thinking the same as they launched at him at an incredible speed. They were faster in their attack this time!

They probably noticed that he was the weakest so the two beasts attacked him at the same time!

"Hmph! Don't get too cocky!" Vincent shouted as he stepped forward and made a horizontal slash!

Sssaak—

He perfectly cut the two 'balls of fire' as their blood scattered to the ground.

Phew~

"That feels better…" Vincent commented as he looked at the rabbits.

"Since those two are guarding this place, a precious herb must've grown around here." Tara commented.

p "Yes… But before that---" Vincent looked behind them.

No one was there and he can only see the trees and the uncultivated land of the forest.

"Stop hiding… We already noticed the two of you." Vincent said confidently.

Perhaps because they have successfully shown that they weren't that strong, the two people following Vincent and Tara loosen their guard and stopped bothering to use a special technique to hide their presence.

This is why they weren't surprised to be found out as they showed themselves without being worried.

Vincent observed the two people. One old man who is in his fifties has white hair and a wrinkled face. He looked quite malnourished and Vincent wouldn't be surprised if he said that he was a beggar.

The other one is a black-haired woman who had hidden her face with a cloth mask and her body with a long oversized coat.

They both looked quite dirty and Vincent had an impression that they hadn't taken a bath for a month.

"Kekeke… Die!"

The old man who had just appeared did not bother with pleasantries after being discovered as he immediately attacked Vincent! The other woman did not stay still as she similarly attacked Tara!

'What?! Aren't you supposed to introduce yourself first?!' Vincent complained about the sudden attack.

Though he's expecting a battle right away, he wanted to at least get some information about them.

'Whatever… I'll just check your corpse later…'

Vincent made up his mind as he threw his sword at the old man while he raised his cane…

As the two were about to clash, Vincent suddenly heard Tara and other black-haired woman exclaim in shock at the same time.

""Celestial?!""
