<h4>Chapter 2357: Chapter 2357: Sneak Attack from Behind</h4>


    "Brother Anderson."


    In the depths of the forest, Raymond Anderson had just reached two trees when a disciple emerged and respectfully saluted, "Greetings, Brother."


    "How much longer until Master returns?" Raymond Anderson nodded, sping his hands behind his back as he inquired.


    "Master will be back in about half an hour. He is at the mountain top for seclusion, unwavering as always—you know that."


    A servant replied, "Please wait a moment, Brother."


    "Alright, have our people already left with Brother Ridge?" Raymond Anderson surveyed the surroundings, stepping into the formation.


    This was a disguise formation; people outside couldn’t see what was inside at all.


    "They’ve all left. We are waiting for Master to return before we depart," exined the servant.


    "Okay, I’ll wait for Master here for a while." Raymond Anderson said, sitting cross-legged on the ground.


    Suddenly!


    A muffled sound!


    Boom!


    The grand formation disintegrated like a gust of wind in an instant.


    "What’s happening!" Raymond Anderson quickly stood up, scanning the area vigntly and asked, "What’s going on?"


    "I’m not sure. Could it be that Master has returned?" The servant looked around but saw no one.


    "Perhaps Master returned and dispelled the formation. Brother, you might not need to..."


    But before the servant could finish his sentence, suddenly, his head fell to the ground.


    Blood spurted out, sshing all over Raymond Anderson’s face!


    Raymond Anderson was terrified by the scorching blood, standing dumbstruck.


    In an instant!


    A fleeting shadow passed by!


    Over twenty servants, in an instant, all were beheaded!


    "Who!"


    Raymond Anderson was startled and about to respond when he felt a coldness on his neck.


    "Who! Who are you!" He couldn’t see anyone, his heart pounding with anxiety. "Are you human or ghost!"


    "Half-human, half-ghost—Trent Marsh." Trent Marsh emerged from behind Raymond Anderson and stood before him.


    "Trent... it’s you! You are Trent Marsh! But you..."


    "But didn’t we already leave? With Isaak Ridge chasing us, how did you find this ce?" Julius Reed walked out from the side, smiling.


    "Julius Reed! You..." Raymond Anderson’s face was filled with shock.


    He truly didn’t expect these two to appear here!


    Within the formation set by their master.


    "Some people always think they’re the hunter and assume others are the prey. Let me tell you, this mindset is utterly wrong." Julius Reed extended his finger, pointing at Raymond Anderson’s nose, "Now, you are the prey."


    "Stop babbling; I’m going to chop them up!" Trent Marsh was about to raise his knife when Julius Reed stopped him.


    "No need for violence; the martial world is about human rtionships." As he spoke, Julius Reed’s fingertip gathered a mist, and he reached out, tapping Raymond Anderson’s forehead, "I can spare your life and give you a chance, a chance to inform. Tell Isaak Ridge, I’ll be waiting for him here."


    "Really?" Raymond Anderson wasn’t concerned about life or death; he just wanted to ry this message to Isaak Ridge.


    "Are you insane!" Trent Marsh’s eyes widened, shouting, "What! We barely lost our tail, and now..."


    "Do you decide, or do I? Well then, from now on, listen to you on everything." Julius Reed looked at Trent Marsh, his eyes filled with murderous intent.


    "Alright. We’re all friends; I’ll listen to you this time." Trent Marsh truly didn’t know what to do next.


    He was half-convinced, always feeling that Julius Reed should have a solution.


    Raymond Anderson, trembling, took out his phone and called Isaak Ridge.


    "Brother, they didn’t leave but are at our base; all of Master’s servants are dead, and I’m probably next."


    "What! How is this possible!"


    "Brother, look." Raymond Anderson, being clever, opted for a video call to truly convince Isaak Ridge.


    Thus avoiding any wasted time.


    "Damn it!" Isaak Ridge shouted furiously.


    "Alright, your phone is confiscated." Julius Reed seized Raymond Anderson’s phone and instantly crushed it!


    There were approximately ten minutes remaining until their master returned.


    "We must go, but I am a man of my word; promised not to kill you, I won’t." Julius Reed retreated a few steps, gesturing to Trent Marsh, "To Autumn Name Mountain."


    "Alright." Trent Marsh sheathed his knife and swiftly disappeared with Julius Reed.


    "Is this guy human or ghost! It’s too... too formidable!" Raymond Anderson trembled, wiped the blood off his face with his clothes, and stood still, afraid to move.


    He needed to wait for Master to ry what he had heard; otherwise, when Master saw all the corpses, he wouldn’t be able to understand the situation.


    Ten minutester!


    An elderly man suddenly appeared before Raymond Anderson.


    "What happened!" Seeing the ground littered with corpses, the old man was greatly surprised, but soon became exceedingly furious!


    ughtering his servants was an act of provocation!


    "Earlier, Julius Reed and Trent Marsh feigned a move, deceived Brother, came here, and ughtered the servants... they headed to Autumn Name Mountain and left ten minutes ago!" Raymond Anderson knelt on the ground, speaking up.


    "Why aren’t you dead?"


    The old man squinted his eyes, pupilspressed!


    He quickly retreated!


    "I don’t know..."


    Bang!


    Raymond Anderson’s words had just fallen when his head exploded!


    A surge of energy sprang forth!


    The old man had already left, with a swift flick of his sleeve, shattering the energy wave.


    "Damn it! They actually counted on me!"


    He gazed at the headless body on the ground, along with the numerous servant corpses, his face livid.


    What cunning!


    To have infused True Qi into Raymond Anderson’s head, once a master approached, disrupting the energy bnce!


    Then the True Qi would explode!


    "Autumn Name Mountain! Sure enough, they’re looking for Dragon Dance! Julius Reed, since you killed so many of mypanions, don’t me me for being ruthless!"


    The old man stamped the air, disappearing instantly.


    If anyone saw, they would surely exim in awe.


    Because those who could walk in mid-air like this were exceedingly rare.


    Many martial artists had never seen such a person in their lifetime.


    And ten miles outside the forest.


    Julius Reed nced at his watch, stopping Trent Marsh: "Stop."


    "What are you up to again?" Trent Marsh frowned again.


    But by now, he had no choice but to listen.


    If he voiced an opinion, he would be reprimanded.


    "If we calcte the time, Isaak Ridge should be returning to the ce where we killed earlier, while his master should be going to Autumn Name Mountain chasing us." Julius Reed smiled, "Sometimes anger indeed makes thoughts simple."


    "Going? Can we kill?" Trent Marsh seemed a bit excited.


    "Following my lead this time?" Julius Reed looked at him.


    "Of course, in my heart, you’re almost like Fourth Brother." Trent Marsh chuckled, barely containing his joy.


    "Let’s go." Julius Reed turned around, heading back to the previous position.


    In the corpseden forest.


    Isaak Ridge returned hastily with his men.


    Upon seeing this sight, his heart tightened.


    "Where’s Master? Where’s Master? Where’s Raymond Anderson!" Isaak Ridge scanned the ground full of heads, but Raymond Anderson was absent.


    "Your master isn’t here, but I am!" Trent Marsh wielded his de, grinning as he walked out from the forest.
