…

“Where do you think you’re running to!”

The Ya Army bellowed, the wooden planks beneath his feet exploding as he gave chase.

As a seasoned Martial Artist in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, his strength was incredibly terrifying, having mastered numerous powerful martial techniques.

Among them was a Leg Skill designed for fleeing and pursuit.

This Leg Skill is similar to the Mountain Shattering Palm, also utilizing a unique Qi and Blood Burst Skill to unleash speed far surpassing that of ordinary people in a short time.

This technique is called Wind Chasing Step!

As soon as the Wind Chasing Step was employed, the Ya Army’s speed soared dramatically, catching up with Lin Zheyu in an instant.

“So fast!”

Lin Zheyu was slightly startled in his heart.

No wonder he’s an experienced Martial Artist in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, not to be underestimated.

After learning that the Ya Army might be the enemy, he secretly gathered and inquired about relevant information about the Ya Army.

The information he gathered was minimal, but still allowed Lin Zheyu to understand a lot.

This was a long-renowned Martial Artist in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, skilled in Saber Skill, with his famous move being the Heaven-Burning Blade.

Unexpectedly, the Ya Army also mastered such a powerful Leg Skill.

“Put me down, let me talk with him.”

Seeing the Ya Army catching up, Liang Song was also a bit apprehensive and couldn’t help but speak up.

From the earlier encounters, he could tell Lin Zheyu was very strong, but not strong enough to completely overpower the Ya Army.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have immediately turned and fled after killing people from the Senluo Temple.

“No need, his strength isn’t enough to threaten me.”

“Should I take the opportunity to kill him as well?”

Lin Zheyu had a faint smile on his face, speaking in a disdainful tone.

Even though the speed of the Ya Army was indeed astonishing after using the Wind Chasing Step, it was still not to the point of threatening Lin Zheyu.

If it weren’t for carrying Liang Song and not wanting to expose his mastery of the Golden Swan Skill, thus only using the Ten Thousand Armies Step, which affected his speed.

The Ya Army couldn’t possibly catch up to Lin Zheyu.

Whoosh!

Just as Lin Zheyu’s words fell, the sound of a blade slicing through the air rang from behind him.

The fierce saber energy rushed towards him with astonishing momentum, cleaving at his back.

“What formidable power, to utilize ‘Force’ in such a manner, truly not an ordinary foe, Heaven-Burning Blade Ya Army!”

Lin Zheyu sensed the terrifying momentum carried by the saber energy, and his spirit faintly felt a strong burning sensation.

In a trance, it was as if he saw endless flames, as the Ya Army’s blade carried terrifying heat waves sweeping towards him, his spirit feeling an intense heat.

This slash was the Ya Army’s signature move, the Heaven-Burning Blade!

Once the blade strikes, flames seem to set the sky ablaze, capable of scorching a person’s spirit and soul.

This is a Saber Skill akin to the Gale Slash, able to use a unique ‘Force’ to unleash a powerful attack.

It perfectly matches the ‘Force’ imbued with fire intent of the Ya Army.

Lin Zheyu had no blade in hand to execute his strongest attack, plus with Liang Song being carried, it hindered him, so he dared not face the Ya Army’s attack head-on.

The Qi and Blood force within his body erupted with a boom.

Lin Zheyu’s left leg muscles suddenly bulged, kicking at the tree trunk by the roadside, his whole body sharply turning, rushing to the right side without losing speed.

The blade aura narrowly brushed past Lin Zheyu, shearing off a small tuft of white hair from Liang Song’s arm that he was holding.

Liang Song’s eyebrows twitched, breaking into a cold sweat.

So close!

Seeing that Liang Song was unharmed, Lin Zheyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing an experienced strong practitioner of the Bone Marrow Refining Realm should not be taken lightly; that strike just now had at least eight times the power of Gale Slash.

Although Lin Zheyu had cultivated the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon to Second-Layer Perfection, he was still far behind a Martial Artist in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm in terms of defense.

Now, with high attack and low defense, had that strike hit, his combat capability would have been greatly impaired instantly.

He might even have died on the spot.

Whoosh——

Another blade came swooping in, but Lin Zheyu easily dodged, yet being affected by the opponent’s strong saber force made him feel a surge of heat inside.

“Whew…”

“His ‘Force’ is indeed mystical; my understanding of ‘Force’ is too shallow, like just scratching the surface compared to the Ya Army.”

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

‘Force’ was his shortcoming.

Having only practiced martial arts for a year, he could hardly compare with the Ya Army, a Martial Artist in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm with decades of experience.

Ya Army’s Force had been cultivated to a very advanced level, just a step away from becoming ‘Intent.’

If Lin Zheyu could elevate his ‘Force’ to such a level, the power of Gale Slash would further ascend!’

Whoosh

Whoosh whoosh

Lin Zheyu moved swiftly, the wind whistling past his ears.

He continually turned, changing directions, utilizing the flexibility of his Body Technique to quickly widen the distance.

Lin Zheyu realized, although the Ya Army was fast, his flexibility was much worse. He could only catch up speed-wise over straight distances.

In dodging, maneuvering, turning, and speed change, he fell far behind.

Lin Zheyu chose not to linger.

He was now only a Four Points Real Man, though powerful, his consumption was greater.

Once the Qi and Blood force in his body was depleted, he would be left at others’ mercy.

Lin Zheyu saw a direction with a crowd and charged towards it, using the terrain and the cover of the crowd, leaving the Ya Army far behind within moments.

“What a pity, currently being in Bafang City, it’s not good to act recklessly, and without a proper treasured blade on hand, otherwise I’d really want to confront Ya Army head-on.”

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

The earlier encounter happened quickly, from Lin Zheyu’s sudden eruption to carrying Liang Song and fleeing, the entire process took less than two minutes.

Throughout, Lin Zheyu hadn’t been able to use his full strength in a face-off against Ya Army, leaving him feeling rather regretful.
