Two figures dashed through the Black Forest, jumping over tree branches and ducking underneath vines as they raced, following the aura left behind by teleportation treasure.
The forest was dark and foreboding, and the night sky was obscured by dse foliage. The trees stood tall and macing, their shadows looming over the two cultivators as they passed under their boughs.
One of the figures wore a black robe embroidered with gold patterns, his short brown hair swaying in the wind as he ran.
His dark eyes shone with determination, his jaw clched as he sped through the forest, and his footsteps barely made any sound despite his quick pace.
The other cultivator, a young woman with black hair and emerald eyes, wore a simple robe, a gray sash tied a her waist, and matching shoes.
Her expression was grave, and her eyebrows furrowed in conctration as she followed behind the young man, scanning the forest a them for their search target.
Suddly, the man stopped, causing the woman to skid to a halt behind him.
The two stared ahead, their gazes fixed on a small clearing illuminated by moonlight peeking through gaps in the leaves above.
There were two figures standing in the cter of the clearing. The first was a tall woman dressed in red cheongsam, her crimson hair falling freely a her shoulders.
The second figure was a young man in a tight-fitting black suit that highlighted his muscular frame. His hair was dark like the night itself, and his blue eyes were piercing ev in the dark forest.
The two of them were embracing each other in a tight hug, the woman's head resting against the man's shoulder while the man held her close to his chest.
The two newcomers just stood in silce. Neither one of them moved or spoke a word, their eyes staring straight ahead, unblinking.
The figure in the black robe saw this sce and felt a surge of anger building up within his heart, his hands clched into fists by his sides as he glared daggers at the two people in front of him.
Before the woman could stop him, Rick dashed forward in an instant, heading straight towards the two figures hugging each other in the cter of the clearing.
At that very momt, he took out his sword from its sheath, its blade gleaming under the moonlight and its sharp edge reflecting its cold glow as he prepared to unleash his attack towards the unsuspecting couple.
He th leapt into the air, brandishing his weapon high above his head while spirit essce flowed through his veins to the sword, before bringing it down in a massive spirit blade attack that traveled at a tremdous speed, cutting through the air itself.
The air in the area froze, and a quiet settled over the clearing. Everything stood still, ev the trees. It felt like time had stopped.
And th chaos broke loose.
The spirit blade, containing a massive amount of spirit essce, tore through the air and slammed into the place where a couple were standing in the cter of the clearing, causing a massive explosion that shook the tire area, causing dust to rise up into the sky and debris to fly everywhere.
The trees nearby were obliterated, their splinters flying a wildly as they whizzed past each other in every direction while the g beath them cracked apart, leaving cracks in the earth in their wake.
It was a devastating attack that could destroy everything in its path with ease.
Rick was filled with rage, his mind clouded by hatred, and he continued his rampage by sding multiple attacks towards that place in rapid succession.
The sound of explosions rang throughout the forest, accompanied by the violt shaking of the trees and the shattering of rocks a him as each blade of spirit essce destroyed a piece of land in its path.
"Die... Die... DIE.. You son of a bitch!" Rick shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with intse anger and murderous intt directed towards the mysterious young man.
"Wait, Young Master! Are you crazy?! What about Scarlet?" The young woman, Cecil, cried out in alarm, fear writt all over her face, as she watched helplessly while her young master unleashed destruction.
However, Rick paid her no mind, ignoring her words while focusing on killing that bastard who dared to lay a hand and steal his woman away.
