The leader of that stone Samurai's team seemed to have received some kind of drug boost and speeded up towards him, unsheathing his katana, and cutting towards his back.
Eric was already on his top speed, and it was impossible for him to run away faster, furthermore, it was sudden and unexpected, so he could only try to make a big jump from his position.
Without lowering his speed, or stopping his run, he used every bit of strength contained in his body to his right foot and used it to make an instantaneous jump ahead.
That made him increase his velocity by a bit and managed to escape the critical attack from behind him partially, as the katana still connected to his back and managed to make a cut.
His clothes were cleanly cut in a line, that soon started to become a bit rosy, even though he was wearing a navy blue outfit.
Ren Jia wasn't able to see what happened, as she was still a bit lost in her thoughts at that moment, watching her Master save her life, and not throw her away despite the chase, and her slowing him down.
Most of the people she had know would only think of their own selves in such a moment, none of them would endanger their life to save hers.
But Eric was doing what she thought that no one would do right then and there. How could she be not lost in her thoughts at that moment?
She was awakened from her stupor with a startle, when suddenly Eric jumped ahead, and then rolled on the floor, still trying to keep her safe.
It was their good luck that when that stone Samurai leader got the boost, they were only 2-3 meters away from the door.
Since Eric had used everything, he had on that last moment to jump away, and escape, he hadn't been able to control his landing, and that Katana cut had destroyed what little balance he had as well.
But that wasn't the biggest problem in front of him at that moment, as there was a much bigger one, what would he do after the jump.
He had to get back on his feet as soon as he could, but that was clearly impossible, as he had Ren Jia in his arms, and had to take care that he didn't hurt her at the same time.

Furthermore, he hadn't tasted her yet, so how could he let her behind like that. It wasn't that he didn't have a way out of this anyway.
He just didn't want to use an Escaping Talisman to leave this place, and then return back later, as he was afraid of raising attention towards this place.
Now that he had found it, there was no way he was going to allow other people to enter here too. These stone Samurai puppets were strong, but he didn't fear them.
As long as he had a bit of time, and space he was not only going to make sure of turning them to rubles, but he would also show them terror, if that was even possible for them to feel.
He didn't know how strong they were, as even his Clairvoyance Eye skill wasn't able to see these stone Samurai's level, but he could only understand that they were above level 70 at least.
Still, he wasn't afraid, the truth was that he had enough Experience points to easily surpass level 100, but since he didn't have a good training opponent, he didn't dare to level up.
He knew that as long as he leveled up without having a nice sparring opponent, he would suffer controlling his strength, and it would only cause trouble to himself.
But right at that moment, great luck had stroke him, as these stone Samurai's were perfect opponents for him, even if they were endangering his life at the moment, they were still his luck.
Opportunities raise amidst dangers, there is no free lunch in this world. The bigger the danger, the bigger the gift and opportunity in it.
This seemed like a custom-made opportunity for him, but that was only if he was able to escape death with those stone Samurai's still chasing behind him.
After rolling more than 3 times on the ground, he could only rise his head towards the door and look at what was going to happen, only to see those stone Samurai's stop at the door.
Just like some soldier standing at the border, the moment they arrived at the door they stopped and froze in their place.
He couldn't believe his luck at that moment, it clearly meant that he had escaped death, as those things weren't chasing behind him anymore.
If they hadn't stopped, he would have been forced to use one of his Escape Talismans but now that they had, everything had worked perfectly.
The truth was that he hadn't run towards the door in a fit of tension to escape, seeing that they were stone Samurai's and puppets he thought that they would have a distance of use.
Meaning that, as long as he escaped beyond that distance then they would stop acting, and he would be saved from their purchase.
For that reason, even though he had quite a few Escape Talismans on his hands, he still didn't use them and tried his best to run away.
It was his good luck that his stats were much stronger and higher than a normal fighter, and also the fact that he had been able to appear suddenly in front of them.
As a matter of fact, the moment he said the words of departure to Ren Jia, he had walked a few steps ahead and then used one of those Stealth Talismans.
Since Ren Jia wasn't really strong, he had used a 5-minute Medium Stealth Talisman, that had cost him around 500 SP points.
All the time she thought she had been alone, he had been by her side, looking at her and waiting for her to call for him.
His leave was just a way to make his presence and action needed, he had to show her that he was the only one who could get her out of there, even though he was the one that took her there.
And his plan had worked perfectly, what he didn't expect though was the fact that those stone Samurai's wouldn't be able to notice him either.
As they seemed just like brainless fighters, they would attack what they could see, but now what they could feel.
As long as the one controlling them was able to feel him it would be another matter altogether, but considering their movement, they didn't have a Master.
So, his plan had worked out almost perfectly, as even he hadn't expected that burst of strength and speed at the last moment, and that cut towards him.
He had been able to escape death due to his quick instincts and reactions, otherwise, he was going to be chopped into two pieces and die.

At that moment, Ren Jia was below him looking at him with a weird look that he didn't understand why at first.
But the next instant he felt that his hand was grabbing into something soft, and he couldn't help but instinctively give it a squeeze.
"Ahn!"
Hearing Ren Jia's light moan he couldn't help but lower his gaze towards his hand and realize that he was grabbing her juicy right melon.
Normally Ren Jia would explode at that moment, calling him a pervert, or insulting him, but this time she just dodged his gaze in a fit of shyness, as she said,
"Master, if you want Ren Jia can serve you later, right now I am all bloody and sweaty! Let me take a shower, and you can do whatever you want to me!"
Eric couldn't believe his eyes, and his ears, this was probably the first time he saw a woman change so much, and so fast in front of him.
If he hadn't kept his eyes on her for all this time, he might even think that this wasn't Ren Jia, but some look alike that had taken her place.
She was so damn cute at that moment, that he couldn't bear it. A blazing fire suddenly started inside his lower region, and his little brother started awakening from its slumber and poking between her thighs.
Unable to control himself, he lowered his head, while saying with a tender voice,
"It doesn't matter, you are extremely beautiful like you are. Furthermore, your body smells like a field of roses, I love it!"
When he finished his words, he went for her lips, and a deep juicy kiss. Her lips were full, and rosy which made him kiss and suck them with great passion.
Ren Jia was a bit stiff at first as this whole thing was too sudden and new to her. Even though she had decided to wholeheartedly accept him as her Master, it was still a bit difficult to actually do this.
But the more Eric kissed her, the more she was lost in the warmth and tenderness, and the more she gave in to him.
Slowly she even raised her hands, and embraced him in passion, only to immediately jump like a frightened rabbit…
