99: Defeat them one by one

Boom!

A vortex of flames erupted, centering on Zhu Yufang and spreading outward.

The scorching waves of flame rushed toward him, making it almost impossible for Li Canglan to open his eyes.

But if he chose to dodge now, Li Canglan would fall into the enemy's tight encirclement.

"I don't believe you can be tougher than me!"

Li Canglan let out a cold snort and bit the bullet, plunging into the flames.

Zhu Yufang was also startled. Clearly, she had not expected anyone to be so reckless to this extent.

However, a ruthless look soon appeared on her face.

Based on the battle with the Raging Ape, it was not hard to judge that Li Canglan was a Two-Star Martial Artist.

For a Two-Star Martial Artist to take her flames head-on, he would certainly be seriously injured! With his momentum gone, she would be safe.

However, Li Canglan surprised her once again.

The surging waves of flame burned Li Canglan's clothes almost to ash, leaving only a shirtless tough guy whose muscles looked as if they were cast from refined iron!

With the enhancement of the Giant Spirit Sky-Breaking Force, Li Canglan's body perfectly conformed to human aesthetics. It had even received a tremendous boost.

The figure stepping out from the flames was even more heart-shaking.

But to Zhu Yufang, this was an enemy!

Li Canglan had not mastered any Martial Skill suited for the fangtian halberd.

Although his Dragon and Phoenix Talent allowed his comprehension of Martial Skills to reach an unimaginable level.

But after all, his strength was too weak, and he was not yet capable of creating his own Martial Skills.

At most, it allowed him to use the fangtian halberd without being too sluggish.

A strike filled with power pierced fiercely toward Zhu Yufang's chest.

Zhu Yufang didn't have time to use her Ability, and it looked like she was about to die miserably under Li Canglan's halberd.

Just then, the ring on her index finger suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

Clang!

A harsh sound, like metal colliding violently, spread in all directions.

A transparent wave of light collided violently with Li Canglan's fangtian halberd.

The piercing sound exploded in everyone's ears, making their heads buzz.

Pfft!

Li Canglan spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying by the light wave.

But Zhu Yufang didn't have it easy either.

Before Li Canglan was sent flying, the Thunderbolt Slash of the fangtian halberd had already landed.

A small blood hole appeared on her chest!

"How is this possible?!"

Zhu Yufang's scream was mixed with intense disbelief.

If she hadn't been wearing the expensive battle dress bestowed upon her by her mentor before leaving the city, she would likely have been seriously injured by this strike!

This battle dress of hers was a C-grade defensive item! Because of the special Materials, it could even be considered outstanding among C-grade items.

Even so, it had actually managed to pierce her battle dress at the same time the opponent was defeated by the ring's light wave?

Li Canglan spat out a mouthful of clotted blood and glared viciously at Zhu Yufang, "You woman, you have quite a lot of things in your hands."

This was a symbol of how much Ability Users were valued.

The fangtian halberd in his hand was a divine weapon; although it could currently only unleash C-grade power, its power definitely surpassed the vast majority of C-grade combat weapons.

If it weren't for Zhu Yufang having both the ring and the battle dress, she would definitely have been seriously injured by his strike!

"Catch him for me!"

Zhu Yufang appeared to be going mad.

The group that had originally been surrounding him failed to kill him because the ring had knocked Li Canglan away.

Under Zhu Yufang's urging, the gentle-looking man and the others exchanged glances. Today, they must keep Li Canglan here.

However, the life-and-death battles during this period had given Li Canglan enough combat experience to know that he likely had no way to kill these few people today.

A Two-star Ability User, plus four Two-Star Martial Artists. And they were likely all excellent students from top-tier higher education institutions. Joining forces, he, a Two-star Middle Stage, really couldn't do anything to them.

Therefore, the moment Zhu Yufang finished speaking, Li Canglan had already stood up and quickly fled toward the forest.

Of course, his goal was not to run away, but to ambush them from the shadows!

Relying on his speed advantage and the fact that he was alone and a smaller target, Li Canglan could perfectly become an assassin in the shadows.

"Jin Hangfeng, catch him for me!"

Zhu Yufang urged impatiently.

Jin Hangfeng was the tall student in the team with the fastest speed. Wind seemed to rise under his feet as he burst forth with extreme speed, chasing after Li Canglan.

Hearing the whistling wind behind him, Li Canglan's heart tightened. He had originally wanted to burst out at his fastest speed to escape this place.

But after seeing the opponent's footwork, he curled his lips and slowly slowed his pace.

This scene fell into Jin Hangfeng's eyes, and he did not suspect that Li Canglan had any conspiracy.

The power erupted from Zhu Yufang's ring was astonishing, enough to make a Two-Star Martial Artist instantly lose combat capability. That the opponent could hold on for so long was already beyond his expectations.

Now that he was slowing down, he was likely reaching his limit. He immediately sped up, fully activating his movement technique to catch up.

Li Canglan maintained his speed, keeping the opponent at a distance, neither too far nor too close. The figures of the two soon disappeared from the sight of Zhu Yufang and the others.

The gentle-looking man felt a sudden palpitation for no reason. "Zhuzhu, Jin Hangfeng alone is likely not that guy's match. We should hurry and follow."

Hearing how the gentle-looking man addressed her, a flicker of imperceptible disgust flashed in Zhu Yufang's eyes. "If he can't even beat a severely injured piece of trash, does Jin Hangfeng still have the face to graduate from school?"

This was also the disdain academy Martial Artists had for independent Martial Artists. Academy Martial Artists enjoyed the best resources and possessed stronger Martial Skills. They should naturally be one tier stronger than independent Martial Artists!

The gentle-looking man sighed and looked at the other companions, "You take good care of Zhuzhu. I'll follow and take a look."

On the other side, having chased for several thousand meters, Jin Hangfeng finally discovered that something was wrong.

Although he looked like he was about to catch up every time, several minutes had passed, and he still hadn't actually caught up! This was definitely problematic!

Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he immediately wanted to give up the chase. "Did you notice?"

A voice of extreme calmness came from ahead. Jin Hangfeng raised his head in shock.

Li Canglan, who had been dozens of meters in front of him, had actually arrived in front of him almost instantly!

Jin Hangfeng's expression changed drastically; he drew his combat sword and wanted to fight. However, he only saw a brilliant cold flash appear.

In Jin Hangfeng's incredulous gaze, the fangtian halberd pierced into his chest!

The strength in Jin Hangfeng's whole body dissipated like the tide, and his body slowly fell backward. As Li Canglan pulled out the fangtian halberd, blood sprayed from Jin Hangfeng's chest like a fountain.

Li Canglan raised his head and looked at the gentle-looking man in the distance who had just appeared and immediately turned to run. "I did not want to be your enemy, but since we have already become enemies, then I can only eliminate you all!"

Li Canglan sighed and gave chase.
