The waterfall crashed down from the cliff like a curtain of shattered moonlight pouring from the sky. Each strand of water struck the pool below with a sharp hiss, as if countless moon blades were falling together. Cold mist rolled outward, clinging to stone and grass, turning the surrounding ground slick and dark.
Within that haze, something moved.
Swish swoosh~!
A figure flashed through the rocks and trees, circling the pool in ceaseless cycles.
At times it seemed like a human form. At others, it was only a smear of motion, a fleeting dark shadow brushed onto the world and wiped away in the same breath.
Jiang Chen's body blurred as he ran at a speed that could only be described as inhuman.
His feet touched the ground so lightly that not even the wet soil beneath showed a footprint. Each step landed and vanished, like ink dropped into flowing water, leaving no trace behind.
