Chapter 1370
Han Sen was curious to see who Nan Litian really was . Thus far, the man had been a complete enigma . After walking outside the gate, Han Sen looked ahead to see a human riding atop a black unicorn .
Han Sen could clearly see it was a human, and if he had to venture a guess, he would say he was around thirty years old . Of course, looks could be deceptive .
The unicorn trotted up the way at a slow, almost meandering pace . It gave Han Sen a chance to observe the man and his steed, but also vice versa . When the man caught sight of Han Sen, he brought his unicorn to a complete standstill . There, they both locked gazes .
Han Sen could at least tell this man was totally new to him, which came as a relief . He wasn't someone from long ago he'd have trouble remembering—something which was an all too common occurrence .
The man's eyes were stern, though . And their lock on Han Sen would be defined as fiery, if they weren't also so sullen . It looked as if he viewed Han Sen as a thief, slinking out of his home, and he wished to do him harm .
Han Sen picked up Bao'er and casually readied himself to leave, as if the tension manifested was just a figment of the man's imagination . There was trouble brewing, and even though Han Sen could not tell why, he knew it was best if he made himself scarce .
This was clearly Nan Litian's territory, and if Han Sen remained and made himself an enemy to the human, he'd be greatly outnumbered .
The space in Han Sen's paces began to widen, until he found himself sprinting away as fast as he could . Before he realized it, he had run a mile . The red pony was following after him, too . It looked to be struggling to keep up with Han Sen, and if one did not look closely, it almost looked as if the pony was chasing him .
But it managed to stay with him, at least .
Nan Litian did not say a word, but he obviously seemed to have a bone to pick with Han Sen . He turned his steed around and took off after Han Sen .
The unicorn had to be a mutant creature, and its speed was greater than Han Sen's, so it had little trouble catching up . And noticing this, Han Sen knew he was in trouble . He knew fleeing wasn't going to be the solution to this sudden stand-off .
Unfortunately, he could not think of anything else to do . If Nan Litian had taken over a gold shelter, then he must have had a gold geno core, too .
This was different than what he had experienced with Jia Shidao, and Han Sen could immediately tell that this opponent was far stronger . He had taken over a shelter, after all .
Han Sen figured he could use his Gold Dragon Lock to trap and halt Jia Shidao's approach . He seemed to come for Han Sen blindly, so there should have been no trouble there .
But he wouldn't change his course or do anything else until he knew he absolutely had to . The unicorn was fast approaching, and it was almost on Han Sen's heels . The infuriated rider atop it clutched a spear in his hands, primed to skewer Han Sen .
It didn't take long for Nan Litian to let it fly, and as it brushed Han Sen's clothing, he dove out of the way like a bat .
Its speed was nothing short of frightening, though, and even with his Jadeskin activated, the spear managed to graze him in his evasion . And even that was enough to draw blood .
Han Sen realized the gulf in fitness between the two was far too great . This called for diplomacy .
