The Second Flight - Chapter 115: The Oriole in Pursuit

  "Thanks!" Lin Ruxue said, also somewhat embarrassed: "Just now if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get out again."

  "It's not that exaggerated, but getting hurt is definitely going to happen."

  Two people walked out directly from inside, this street is all about food and beverage as well as various related businesses, the lights are shining so brightly that even the night sky can't be hidden. There are cars parked everywhere along the road, the two of them passed by from the side and immediately arrived at a relatively quieter street.

  The streetlights here are still bright, but different from the colorful lights just now. Vehicles occasionally pass by, and pedestrians on the sidewalk have residents coming down to stroll around. Although it's only a hundred or two hundred meters apart, it's like being separated by an entire world.

  "It's really embarrassing today, I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Things like this happen thousands of times a day, and in fact, they're not uncommon around us, but for ordinary people, the most they can do is watch the commotion or listen to a few jokes. But I'm a police officer, I don't care how others do their job as police officers, I just need to do my own job well." Perhaps it was the environment here, or perhaps she had really been feeling stifled for a while, Lin Ruxue spoke out her heartfelt feelings on this quiet street.

  "That's how people should be." Although it was just a simple five words, it was exactly what Wentao thought in his heart. He still agreed with Lin Ruxue's point of view very much. Whatever you do, you must do well. When being a monk, one must recite scriptures; when being a great thief, one must harm girls. No matter which industry or doing what, if you want to succeed, you must do your own things well. If a person can reach the top in an industry, even if it's just an ordinary person in the secular world, they are still worthy of admiration.

  "Did Yulin say that the clinic will be suspended for a while?"

  "Yes, I have some things to attend to, and Yulin hasn't had a good rest in years either. It's just right for her to go traveling, broaden her horizons and relax properly."

  "Oh!"

  When Yulin told Lin Ruxue that the clinic was going to close, Lin Ruxue asked why it had to close. However, Yulin's answer was just a shake of her head. She didn't say she didn't know or that she didn't want to say, but since Lin Ruxue and Yulin had known each other for quite some time and they still got along pretty well, Lin naturally knew what kind of person she was.

  Wen Tao decided things, she absolutely wouldn't oppose them. If it wasn't convenient to say something, she definitely wouldn't say it either, so she didn't continue asking.

  Today I originally wanted to bring it up during dinner, because she was very curious. But the whole time they were eating, they didn't discuss it at all, and in the end, there was even a big fuss. Now that I've asked, I have an answer, but then again, I don't, and my heart still has some questions somehow.

  The road isn't very long, and after chatting for a bit, we've already reached the end, which is a wide highway. Cars are coming and going, speeding by quickly. This short time has already passed the traffic congestion period, and the cars have all started moving again.

  Suddenly, Wentao felt something was wrong and there was a fight.

  In the secular world, the spiritual energy is thin, and some intense spiritual energy suddenly appears, although it has already weakened to the surroundings. Ordinary people just feel a cool breeze, which makes people feel refreshed, but Wén Tāo can feel that it is the aftermath of a battle.

  "I still have something to attend to, let's catch up properly next time when we're free." As he said that, Wentai waved his hand and coincidentally, an empty taxi happened to be passing by, quickly pulling over beside him.

  Lin Ruxue hadn't figured out what was going on, but Wentai had already pushed her into the car. As soon as the car started moving, Lin Ruxue turned her head to look back at the rear window, and the spot where Wentai had been standing earlier was empty, with nothing there.

  If it were the first time they met, Lin Ruxue would have been shocked, but having seen Weng Tao's eccentricity before, this was nothing.

  As soon as Lin Ruxue got on the car, Wentai's spiritual consciousness quickly expanded and enveloped the surroundings. Although his own spiritual consciousness had improved a lot now, the spiritual consciousness that Jilingyi could help him improve was still at the initial stage of crossing the tribulation, it seemed that this was already the limit of Jilingyi, and in the future he could only rely on himself to break through.

  In the sky, dark clouds are gathering, and the weather is not very good. At an altitude of thousands of meters, two rays of light are rapidly entwining, after a few brilliant flashes they separate again.

  Then two people, one riding a sword and flying forward, the other closely pursuing without letting go.

  "I am a disciple of Qingcheng Sect's Han Changqi..." The person in front told Fei Xingzhong that he wanted to register, but the one behind was chasing after him and didn't care about those things.

  Wen Tao can now use the spiritual energy he has gathered to fly in the air with the help of the Jiling clothes, but the speed is not fast and the time cannot be long. If it's in battle, a short fight in the air is possible, but Wen Tao can't do such rapid pursuit.

  This weakness is also clear to Wentai, but for the time being, there is no other way to make up for it. Currently, the battles with the Xiu Zhen practitioners are still few, but later on, it won't be possible.

  However, on land, Wentai's speed was absolutely unmatched. His figure moved swiftly, leaving no residual image for ordinary people to see. With spiritual awareness locked onto them, Wentai naturally didn't fear that they would escape, because the one running in front was only at the mid-stage of Yuan Ying, while the one behind was merely at the early stage of Yang Shen.

  If he didn't say it was the Qingcheng Sect, Wentai might not have paid attention to this trivial matter, but since it was someone from the Qingcheng Sect being pursued, Wentai naturally went to take a look.

  Han Jinshuo should have been in the secular world for a while, and Wentai didn't bother to pay attention to him. The other day, he learned some news from Luo Tengyun, which was also as expected.

  If this were two masters today, Wentai would immediately honestly hide his breath and become an ordinary person.

  But now that the two are neither strong nor weak, I'll just have to go and take a look. Things are different from before; since we're going to set foot in the Cultivation Realm, we can't be like we were in the past anymore.

  They soon left the city and arrived at the downstream river surface. The guy who claimed to be a disciple of Qingcheng Sect, Han Changqi, was already caught up and blocked in front.

  Two people stood on the river surface, Yuan Ying's mid-term and Yang Shen's high-level masters were not comparable at all. Just now, they had exchanged less than ten moves, and already suffered injuries.

  "In the lower Qingcheng sect, Han Chang's seventh disciple, Lu Kui, for some unknown reason, was being extremely aggressive and intimidating."

  "I don't care who you are, hand it over." Standing opposite was a guy with a face full of long hair, like an original person, holding something like a ruler in his hand, and under his feet was also a flying sword. In the current cultivation world, even if one had other handy weapons or magical artifacts, flying swords were still used for everyday flight, as they were faster and easier to cultivate.

  At this time they stood on the river surface, Wen Tao had already quietly dived into the water, using his spiritual sense to observe the situation above, slowly approaching from below.

  Lu Ke said with a scowl: "You're stealing things and you've stolen from the head of Qingcheng Sect, you'd best leave immediately."

  "Haha……" The original person laughed loudly: "Don't try to scare me with your crappy Qingcheng, do you know who I am? Your Qingcheng Sect knows who I am. I'm a free and easy wanderer in the sky, after killing you, I'll be standing right in front of your Qingcheng Sect, they won't even recognize you. Hand it over honestly, or else I'll capture your primordial infant, refine it for ten years and let you taste the pain."

  Once a cultivator breaks through the elixir and becomes an infant, their life has an additional guarantee. Although the body is important, even without it, one can still cultivate as a scattered immortal. However, being a scattered immortal is more bitter than ordinary cultivation, because they have to cross nine heavenly tribulations, with one occurring every 500 years.

  The Immortals are all old guys, but they rarely appear, because they're all busy getting through their next Tribulation.

  Hearing such words from an ordinary person, Lu Ke's face became even more unsightly. If Yuan Yao were to be imprisoned, that would truly be a fate worse than death.

  "Friends should be overseas scattered repair, today I will return this treasure to you, and please friends net open a side." As he spoke, Lu Ke took out a small black box with eight sides and eight corners, like black iron, in the palm of his hand.

  The original person generally saw this small box and his eyes lit up, but he didn't immediately come forward, apparently on guard against Lu Ke.

  "Kid, stop spouting nonsense. You think you can play tricks on me? People from Shu Mountain are still far off from being a match for me. You know I won't let you go, so just give up struggling. Weren't you the one who ambushed someone earlier and then killed that pair of fish demons to get this thing?"

  "Friends, whether this thing is a treasure or not, neither of us knows. Why must we hurt our relationship over something that may or may not be a treasure?" As he spoke, Lu Ke violently threw the box into the water, quickly turning around to run away.

  The original guy seemed to have expected it too, and was chased by Yujian, who was then killed by Lu Ke.

  Unfortunately, Lu Ke didn't really leave, he just pretended to, turned back and launched a mid-grade spiritual artifact, a Thunder Hammer, which instantly increased in power by several dozen times. This was his ultimate trump card, flashing with lightning, its attack mixed with lightning. Just now, he had been chased so urgently that he hadn't even used it despite being injured, all for this one strike.

  The guy who was originally on guard in his heart didn't expect this person to suddenly have a mid-grade spiritual artifact, grasping the box he had picked up and using all his strength to block.

  "Boom......" The surrounding area of the river for tens of meters was blown by air waves, Lu Ke held the reduced Thunderbolt and spat blood flying into the sky. Yuan Yao also dimmed a bit, after all, it was a hard fight between two levels, although with the help of the medium-grade spiritual instrument Thunder Hammer, there was no advantage to be gained.

  Still wanted to run, but the poor-quality spiritual tool in hand was shaken with some cracks... Although the low-grade spiritual tool in hand was shaken with some cracks, and he himself was also injured by the shock, it was much lighter than Lu Ke's.

  "Don't run away either." This original person-like guy didn't have any gap, Wentai had slowly risen from the ground and with one punch directly blasted through his body, and also blasted through Yuanying together. This was Wentai's latest move after practicing for so long - Straight Fist.
