Chapter 757

• Even when he ran into someone alone, Joshua couldn’t just strike. Getting hunted down sucked. His clothes had already been torn; now they were hanging by threads. He looked like a real beggar, filthy and beat. To avoid being spotted, he smeared mud over himself. That helped. A bit.
• While he kept his head down, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura flaring ahead of him. Joshua probed it and frowned. It was Ray Ling. He knew that aura well—they’d just fought. Looked like Ray Ling had recovered and was waiting for him up ahead on purpose.
• Joshua thought it over. A defeated clown wasn’t worth his time. He pivoted and headed back, still pushing south for the border. He was tired of killing. He needed to get out of the mountains, crash in a small town, grab food and clothes. If he stayed up here alone much longer, he’d lose it.
