The two women reacted almost instantly when they noticed the bloody hole. The older woman was faster, arriving next to Pearl with a speed that could only come from someone far stronger than his own.
Pearl had wished to hide his abilities a little more, but he didn't dare take a direct strike from an Immortal Spirit realm cultivator. He teleported instantly, arriving next to a tree close by.
His disappearance caught the two women by surprise, but they reacted just as quickly, stopping their attack mid-swing and stopping before the man. The younger woman quickly pulled out a pill, feeding it to the man whose neck healed quickly.
Even so, he had lost a lot of blood that the pill wasn't able to fully restore. Despite being healed, he was far weaker and quickly shifted back to a giant blue bird that was a mix between a vulture and a hawk.
The older woman had already turned her sight toward Pearl, sharp blue clouds appearing above her.
