145: No, you give me a chance?

Luo Chengyuan!

The man who appeared before Shen Bei was Luo Chengyuan, who had killed Fang Ming on Sun Mountain and escaped from Director Zheng's hands!

Shen Bei never expected to meet him in Changtu.

What puzzled Shen Bei was why Luo Chengyuan, a member of the Apocalypse Cult, would be involved in such a mess with Sun Bojian and Boss Li?

Could it be that...

Shen Bei had only one guess: Sun Bojian was also a follower of the Apocalypse Cult!

Two things just happened to collide!

At this moment, Luo Chengyuan's face was solemn: "Shen Bei, don't you know why I'm looking for you?"

Shen Bei frowned.

Sea of Hopelessness map?

No.

Impossible.

Shen Bei quickly thought to himself, Luo Chengyuan didn't know the map was in his hands at all.

Even his Shepherd from the Headhunter Tribe wouldn't be 100% certain unless he spoke it aloud.

Let alone Luo Chengyuan.

"You killed so many of my fellow cult members, how should we settle this score?" Luo Chengyuan stated directly.

Shen Bei's expression didn't change in the slightest.

So Luo Chengyuan was also there back then?

He must have been scared away when Director Zheng arrived, right?

Shen Bei spread his hands and said innocently, "I couldn't help it, I was just doing a mission. Our positions are different, that's all. There's no need to block my path, is there?"

Luo Chengyuan's eyes were cruel, and he smirked: "I'm a very petty person."

At this moment, he wanted to kill Shen Bei with the most brutal methods to vent his hatred!

Shen Bei took a deep breath, this was a bit tricky.

Luo Chengyuan was a Four-Rank Martial Artist, and there was also a Third-Rank Sun Bojian beside him. Although he was just an empty shell, he was still quite a hindrance.

Shen Bei's mind was clear at this moment, and he remembered a famous Senior, Old Demon Han's, signature Move.

That was... one word: Run!

Run back to Lingnan City overnight.

If Luo Chengyuan dared to enter Lingnan City, Director Zheng could stomp him to death.

Shen Bei maintained his calm on the surface and said, "Actually, your obsession doesn't have to be so strong. Listen to me, I'll give you a perfect—"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Bei flashed and turned to run!

Talk to your big head, ghost.

As long as the green hills are there, there will be no shortage of firewood.

Save your life first!

Boom!

The next instant, Luo Chengyuan, like a furious demon, stomped heavily, the airflow around him vibrated violently, emitting a series of dense explosive sounds. The solid ground within a dozen meters under his feet suddenly split apart, cracked, and sank!

And amidst such astonishing momentum, a dazzling light burst forth from his intact shoulder and arm, suddenly slashing madly in the locked direction!

Swish swish swish swish swish!

The thin line of air instantly twisted, and streaks of crimson sharp shockwaves suddenly formed, erupting from the dim Void Realm, shooting towards the dark corner where the sneak attacker was hiding, giving people the feeling that they were peerless Sharp Weapons, indestructible and unstoppable, assassination went past!

Chii chii chii!

In fact, this large area of crimson shockwaves, like a storm, was indeed no different from a divine Sharp Weapon. The ground cracked along its trajectory, and everything in its path silently broke apart. Then, the entire alley and the earthen buildings on both sides, covered by shadows, instantly crumbled and collapsed like tofu!

Whoosh.

However, amidst the astonishing scene of these buildings disintegrating and collapsing under the crimson shockwaves, Shen Bei's black shadow flashed away in an instant, rushing towards the deeper darkness.

"Run?"

Luo Chengyuan's eyes were cruel, and he instantly captured Shen Bei's figure, fleeing in a hurry and flashing past.

Immediately after, he vanished from the spot like a ghost, his entire body transforming into a scarlet phantom, surging forth at an astonishing speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch.

In one or two blinks of an eye, Luo Chengyuan, like a red lightning bolt, disappeared on this chaotic street, leaving only a group of terrified Sun Bojian in his original place.

From Shen Bei chatting and then turning to run, to Luo Chengyuan's fierce pursuit, all of this happened too quickly, in just a blink of an eye.

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up. If it were him, Shen Bei would have vanished by now, and he wouldn't have even reacted yet.

"As expected of a Four-Rank Martial Artist Chief, his reaction is too fast!"

...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The fierce wind rushed towards him, and Shen Bei, like a black ghost, quickly moved through the alleys of the town.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Luo Chengyuan behind him constantly closing the distance.

Shen Bei immediately shot out a hidden weapon—Shadow Needles!

Whoosh!

At this instant, like an exploding black lightning bolt, the Shadow Needles, swift and vicious beyond description, almost invisible to the naked eye, burst forth from Shen Bei's hand, tearing through the night sky with unparalleled momentum!

Luo Chengyuan was only momentarily stunned, twisted his body, and managed to dodge the Shadow Needles's assassination in that instant!

Although this situation somewhat surprised Shen Bei, it was also within his expectations.

A reputation is not built on nothing; Luo Chengyuan was, after all, a Chief of the Apocalypse Cult and a Four-Rank Martial Artist.

His alertness and reaction were not comparable to ordinary Martial Artists.

Moreover, the two sides were relatively far apart, and Shen Bei's aim also had a slight deviation, which was why he failed.

And the same method was difficult to use twice. This was still at night, and after the opponent became alert and wary, the Shadow Needles could no longer pose a fatal threat. Shen Bei decisively decided not to waste any more effort and focused on running at extreme speed.

Of course, Shen Bei had never not thought about truly fighting Luo Chengyuan.

But Shen Bei had no confidence.

Unless absolutely necessary, when he had to make a desperate counterattack, Shen Bei still prioritized saving his life.

However, although Shen Bei considered this, there was one person who was unwilling to let him go.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As Shen Bei ran wildly through the streets and alleys, he had already alarmed many residents in the county.

But no one dared to stand out.

Even the Martial Artists in the county turned off their phones and tightly closed their doors and windows.

In this level of battle, whoever went to help would die!

At this moment, Shen Bei had already reached the edge of the county. Once he entered the mountains ahead, he could shake off Luo Chengyuan.

Just as Shen Bei was about to escape, a series of dense Qi explosions and large, indescribable crimson shockwaves, like a storm, surged from the dim street to his left, completely engulfing his direction of advance!

It was Luo Chengyuan's Martial Skill, "Crimson Barrage"!

He had intercepted him from another shortcut!

Whoosh!

The True Qi shockwaves that attacked him were as fast as bullets, striking him head-on. Knowing that the power of these True Qi shockwaves was probably not much different from the slashes of top-tier battle weapons, Shen Bei had no intention of taking them head-on with his body and suddenly retreated.

Chii chii chii chii chii.

Amidst a series of dense sounds, the ground in front of Shen Bei split apart like tofu, cut open with cracks seven or eight meters long and bottomless.

And seeing that Luo Chengyuan had actually pursued him alone, without Sun Bojian following.

Shen Bei's eyes suddenly moved, and he immediately stopped.

"Run!"

Fixing his gaze on Shen Bei, Luo Chengyuan approached step by step, the crimson True Qi glow on his body like flames rising from Hell, filled with an indescribable cruelty.

He stared intently at Shen Bei's figure, his face slightly twisted:

"You run so fast, it truly surprises me. As expected, new generations replace the old; you're doing very well..."

Facing the furiously murderous Luo Chengyuan, Shen Bei's eyes revealed a fierce glint: "Your fellow cult members will die either today or tomorrow. They'll either be killed by me, Shen Bei, or by Shen Nan. They'll die sooner or later, so what's the difference? How about we each go our own separate Dao?"

"Alright, I'll walk my sunny Dao."

As he spoke, Luo Chengyuan slightly raised his hand, and light bloomed from between his fingers. Then he continued, "And I'll dismantle your single-plank bridge!"

As soon as his voice fell, the light from Luo Chengyuan's fingers flowed down like water, covering his entire body.

Luo Chengyuan's entire body was like an activated switch, suddenly bursting forth with unparalleled brilliance, emitting a blinding, violent light that could sting one's eyes.

It felt as if Luo Chengyuan himself had transformed into a sun fallen to earth, illuminating the entire sky above the county in a brilliant blaze!

"Sun Fist!"

Luo Chengyuan's cruel laughter shook the sky: "Blind your dog eyes, you bastard!"

The speed of light is the fastest speed known to man. At night, the light and effect of Sun Fist were undoubtedly several times stronger than during the day.

Luo Chengyuan was fully confident that at the moment the strong light erupted, Shen Bei would definitely not expect him to unleash such a strange and bizarre Move, and would certainly fall victim.

Because... the dazzling light that could blind human eyes could not be dodged in an instant!

Even closing one's eyes would be useless!

And turning back was already too late.

Shen Bei must have already gone blind!

Next, it would be time to torment him thoroughly!

Shen Bei looked at the earth-shattering scene before him, his eyes trembling.

He was extremely afraid.

Swallowing, he muttered to himself:

"Good heavens, aren't you just asking for it...?"
