Closing encirclement

Duncan felt like cursing himself as he rushed through the wilderness in a hurry. 

After sorting out his spoils, Duncan had spent some time going through the acquired manuals. However, before he could even decide on which martial art to practice, his instincts started blaring causing him to rise up in surprise. 

Before he could fully process the situation, an attack almost landed on him from a distance. Duncan could feel the power behind the attack very intimately due to his proximity to its landing. 

Only then did he realize that his pursuer had already caught up to him and was intent on killing him. Duncan didn't hesitate even for a single second when he realized that it was a Golden Hall expert who was chasing after him. He immediately executed and got away from that region.
