Chapter 1792 - 1797: Unexpected Encounter
Behind Lin Fei, Liu An closely followed, persistently chasing after Lin Fei like a dog that wouldn’t let go. What to do?
Fortunately, this dog couldn’t catch up with Lin Fei. Lin Fei used the Godspeed Talisman and vanished into the crowd in the blink of an eye, making it hard for Liu An to follow.
"Kid, if you have the guts, stop there! What kind of skill is running away?!" Liu An shouted, not expecting Lin Fei to run so fast, like a rabbit, and an accelerated one at that.
"I don’t know if you’re dumb or I am, why wouldn’t I run? Wait for you to kill me? Idiot!" Lin Fei cursed directly. Liu An was really annoying, chasing him relentlessly. Since that was the case, there was no need for Lin Fei to be polite.
"Kid! Go ahead, curse all you want. When I catch you, I’ll tear your mouth apart!" Liu An, hearing Lin Fei’s cursing, was even more determined not to let Lin Fei go. After all, if he really let Lin Fei go, what kind of position would he be in? He couldn’t afford to lose face!
Lin Fei wasn’t thinking that much; he just wanted to escape, keep moving forward without stopping, accelerating all the time, avoiding any meaningful pauses or breaks, so he was practically burning himself out.
The Godspeed Talisman was being pushed by Lin Fei to the furthest limits he could currently reach, yet he still couldn’t shake off Liu An’s pursuit, which left Lin Fei feeling agitated.
"Kid, watch my palm!" Liu An shouted at Lin Fei, following up with a palm strike towards him.
True Qi gathered out of thin air, instantly forming over a dozen Qi palms that charged towards Lin Fei with fierce aggression!
Lin Fei immediately summoned thirteen Demon Swords, which surrounded him as the palm prints came rushing at him. The thirteen Demon Swords collided with those light palms, black and white clashing, resulting in an explosion!
"Boom!"
Bang bang bang!
A series of explosions immediately followed. Liu An’s martial skill unexpectedly had an explosive effect, increasing its power, much to the amazement of onlookers.
Fortunately, Lin Fei wielded the thirteen Demon Swords, directly blocking the light palms. The explosions set off the excess light palms, while Lin Fei still had three Demon Swords left. He drove those swords to rush towards Liu An behind him.
Liu An let out a cold snort, stretched out his large hand, and with a simple turn, the three Demon Swords were crushed mid-air by a strong force of True Qi!
Seeing this, Lin Fei had even less confidence to continue battling with Liu An. He quickly picked up speed.
Finally, in front of him was an alleyway. Lin Fei made a lightning-speed right-angle turn into the alley, then another right-angle turn, and vanished within it in the blink of an eye.
Liu An gave chase, only to find that Lin Fei had disappeared. Just then, on a road leading to the main street, a few people were seen carrying a sedan chair towards them.
"What are you doing?"
From inside the sedan chair, a female voice emerged. The bearers suddenly felt as if another person had climbed aboard, feeling very heavy and tired.
Inside the sedan chair was a stunning beauty, but at that moment, the beauty looked panicked. As Lin Fei had just dashed in, the woman was resting her eyes. Lin Fei, turning into a Flowing Light, dashed into the sedan. The beauty opened her eyes, a look of panic briefly flashing across her face.
"Who are you?" After the beauty’s fleeting panic, she revealed a stern gaze fitting an authoritative figure, looking at Lin Fei without the slightest fear.
Lin Fei was stunned for a moment, thinking that he might have run into someone formidable or perhaps another connection to someone important?
Just then, a voice came from outside, from an elderly man, "Miss, are you alright?"
"I’m fine, continue the journey." The young lady responded.
"But Miss, just now..."
"No need to worry, just continue." The young lady stated, prompting the outside voice to fall silent and continue their journey.
Lin Fei looked at this beautiful woman. She had a classic demeanor, one that invoked protectiveness, yet her expression was somewhat cold. "Miss, I’m fleeing from enemies and hope you could lend a hand."
"You want my help? Sure, but what price are you willing to pay?" The beauty asked, her voice lilting, with a hint of mischief.
Lin Fei chuckled awkwardly, "I’m not sure what you require, Miss. Do you want me to... offer myself in gratitude?"
"I might want your life as well. Can you offer that?" The beauty’s voice turned somewhat icy.
"I wouldn’t dare. A noble lady like you, how could a common man like me be worthy? But if you help me, I will certainly repay you handsomely!" Lin Fei replied.
Hearing this, the beauty glanced at Lin Fei beside her and nodded, "Just don’t speak, and I’ll take you somewhere safe."
Lin Fei nodded, and then the next scene unfolded.
Liu An watched as the sedan approached, then stopped, standing still until it came closer, suddenly dropping to his knees before the sedan, "Greetings, Miss!"
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Fei was quite familiar. Wasn’t that the voice of Liu An, who had been chasing him? And he addressed her as Miss?
Miss...
Oh crap! Of all places to hide, he ended up with the enemy’s ally. Lin Fei could only look on with a wry smile, genuinely bewildered!
"Liu An, where are you going?" the young lady asked.
When the voice came from within the sedan, Liu An immediately responded, "Miss, I have been ordered by the second young master to capture the fugitive. Has Miss seen anyone?"
"How insolent! The young lady is inside the sedan. How could she have seen him?"
Suddenly, the initial voice from the elderly man scolded Liu An, who quickly lowered his head in apology, repeatedly saying, "Yes, yes, I was wrong!"
"Alright, you may continue your search." The young lady’s voice emerged from within the sedan.
"Yes!"
Liu An quickly retreated, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
After Liu An left, Lin Fei immediately addressed the beauty inside the sedan, saying, "Miss, thank you for your assistance. If we meet again, I will repay you!"
Having said that, Lin Fei was ready to rise and leave.
However.
The young lady abruptly grasped Lin Fei’s wrist and said, "You think you can leave so easily after getting into my sedan?"
Lin Fei was surprised, feeling the force on his wrist; this strength was no less than Liu An’s!
"Why do these individuals I encounter keep getting more formidable?" Lin Fei wondered inwardly. But then he quickly realized something, not that others were strong, but rather...
