Chapter 130 Chase and Kill
According to the plan, after killing Eman, Lin Lichuan and Meng Xiaotong would immediately leave Taiyang City and rush to the next destination, so the direction of the two of them was to go to Huangpo City.
"What's wrong, these people react too quickly!"
During the flight, Meng Xiaotong suddenly gritted her teeth and whispered.
Lin Lichuan nodded with a serious expression.
Indeed, even if it is the war martial law period, the people in Qianyuan have reacted too quickly. Less than a minute since Eman was found dead, those extraordinary people have already arrived at the office building, and there are not one or two, but eight or nine.
It was as if they were there.
Lin Lichuan and Meng Xiaotong were neither stupid. After thinking about it for a moment, they realized that this was a trap. The people from Qianyuan obviously knew that they were going to be unfavorable to Eman, so they sent many strong men to lurk in the office building early, waiting for them to take action and capture them in one fell swoop.
For a moment, the two of them looked a little gloomy.
Meng Xiaotong was even more secretly grateful. Fortunately, Lin Lichuan chose to assassinate Eman tonight. Otherwise, if he really sniped on the street or sneaked into the office building, he might have fallen into the ambush of Qianyuan.
With a knight level and seven or eight golden levels, it is estimated that most of the high-end extraordinary combat powers in Taiyang City will gather there. Once they are trapped in the siege, they will definitely not be able to escape.
"But how did Qianyuan know our actions?" Meng Xiaotong frowned, as if she had thought of something, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Is it Wang Li who betrayed us?"
"It shouldn't be."
Lin Lichuan shook his head.
"If Wang Li is a traitor, then Qianyuan would take action when we arrived in Taiyang City, and there was no need to wait until today."
After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to think about this, so we have to find a way to get rid of the people chasing behind us."
Meng Xiaotong's expression stagnated when she heard this. She felt the terrifying momentum gradually approaching behind her, and couldn't help but feel nervous.
Although she and Lin Lichuan both have the ability to fly, their speed is obviously not as fast as the knight-level powerful man chasing behind him. It is only a matter of time if he continues to escape like this and is caught up.
A ray of despair gradually surged into Meng Xiaotong's heart.
Lin Lichuan pursed his lips tightly, his mind flew around, and he quickly thought about how to get out.
Suddenly, a rippling wave flashed from the corner of his eyes. When he turned his head and looked, a spacious river jumped into his eyes.
After a little stunned, Lin Lichuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly had an idea.
Without hesitation, he immediately said to Meng Xiaotong in a very quick tone: "Put your wings away, I have a way."
Meng Xiaotong was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted. Yi Yan quickly withdrew the blood wings, and his delicate body sank slightly and was about to fall down. However, Lin Lichuan reached out his hand quickly, embraced her slender waist, and hugged her in his arms.
The girl's face turned slightly red, but she did not resist, but just looked at him in surprise.
Time was tight, and Lin Lichuan didn't explain much. After turning his wrist, he had already added a strange round bead the size of an egg in his palm. It was the miniature spiritual bead core that was redeemed from the store.
Immediately, he saw his body turn and he was already swooping downwards like a star-falling moon diagonally below, and his target was a river not far away.
Just as the two were about to hit the lake, Lin Lichuan's body suddenly slowed down, and a circle of extremely faint light shields appeared out of thin air around him, falling into the lake like pearls, causing ripples, and soon disappeared intovisible.
The surroundings are quiet again.
More than twenty seconds later, a figure rushed towards him like a meteor, stopping over the woods not far from the river, slowly looking around.
With the moonlight, you can see that it was a man about forty years old, with a beard and rough face, with sharp eyes and a heart-pounding feeling of oppression.
He looked around in confusion for a while, frowned slightly, followed by concentration and feeling it, and then continued to chase forward.
However, after two or three minutes, the man returned, searched carefully on the spot, and even dived into the river several times to explore, but he never found any figure and could not sense any breath.
"Strange, the auras of those two people are obviously in this direction."
After frowning and pondering for a while, the man finally had to change directions and continued to search. His body quickly disappeared at the end of the night sky.
In the mud at the bottom of the river, there is a spherical spiritual pressure protective cover.
Feeling the aura of the Thousand Academy Knight gradually faded away, Lin Lichuan and Meng Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
As soon as he relaxed, Meng Xiaotong's curiosity immediately gained the upper hand, and his eyes lit up at the round beads emitting hazy light in Lin Lichuan's hands.
"What is this?"
"A small prop." Lin Lichuan replied casually, his eyes falling on the protective cover around him, and he felt secretly glad.
Fortunately, the spiritual pressure did not disappoint himself. Even the knight-level powerful man could not feel the energy breath of the spiritual pressure. In other words, as long as he hid in this spiritual pressure protective cover, the people in Qianyuan could not rely on the breath to lock their positions.
"I've escaped for the time being."
Lin Lichuan breathed a sigh of relief, but his hands kept injecting spiritual pressure into the miniature spiritual bead core to maintain the existence of the protective cover.
Unlike on the ground, the bottom of the water has to withstand water pressure and the weight of the silt, maintaining the spiritual pressure protective cover requires more spiritual pressure. Even with his current spiritual pressure level, it cannot last long.
Meng Xiaotong seemed to have noticed something from Lin Lichuan's expression, and when she closed her mouth, she also fell silent.
In the following time, four or five figures passed by the nearby ground and above. Without exception, they were teams composed of extraordinary people, and there were many auras of golden-level powerful men in the team.
In the middle, because the oxygen was on the verge of running out, Lin Lichuan had to secretly emerge from the river several times to update the air in the protective cover.
After more than two hours, the nearby area gradually returned to silence.
Meng Xiaotong turned to look at Lin Lichuan and asked in a low voice: "What should we do next?"
“Return to the White Crown Province?”
Since Qianyuan knew Ye Ge's assassination plan, it means that this mission has failed. If you continue, not only will you not be able to successfully complete the task, but you will also give up, so you can only give up.
Fortunately, the source of the mission failure cannot be found in them, and they cannot blame them. It is rather rare that they can kill one of the mission targets when the action plan has been leaked.
However, Lin Lichuan only thought for a few seconds, then shook his head and rejected Meng Xiaotong's suggestion.
"I'm afraid not."
"Why?" Meng Xiaotong was slightly stunned.
"Qianyuan must have expected that we would want to return to Baiguan Province. At this time, most of the time, we had already laid a net of heaven and earth outside Taiyang City, waiting for us to turn back. If we do this, we may bump into the enemy's encirclement net."
Meng Xiaotong was depressed when she heard this, and frowned and said, "What should we do? Will we stay at the bottom of the lake until the wind passes?"
"This is a good idea. It's a pity that my energy doesn't support that time, and food and water are also problems, unless you don't mind drinking lake water and sashimi."
Lin Lichuan's mouth curled slightly, and he made a joke. Then he looked calm and pondered, "Since we can't retreat, then we will continue to move forward."
"Walk forward? Go to Huangpo City?" Meng Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, showing a shocked expression.
"That's right." Lin Lichuan glanced at Meng Xiaotong, "Even you are surprised. The people from the Thousand Hospitals would not expect that we would not only not wait for an opportunity to escape from the occupied land, but also buried our heads in deeper."
"At the worst, even if Qianyuan thinks of this, the staff arranged in front must be far less than the rear. Whether it is hiding or escaping, it is easier than retreating."
Meng Xiaotong was stunned, and then she thought that it was indeed the case. It seemed very dangerous to move forward, but after thinking about it carefully, it was the most appropriate way to survive the current crisis.
As she thought about it, Lin Lichuan had already taken out a map from his backpack, but it was the entire map of the Baiguan Federation he had brought from Wang Li.
"This is Taiyang City, this is the river where we are hiding now."
Lin Lichuan pointed to the sign representing Taiyang City on the map, and then moved his fingers to the narrow river next to him.
Meng Xiaotong looked closely and found that the river was quite unexpectedly long, almost thousands of kilometers away, passing through six cities, including Taiyang City and Huangpo City. He turned a corner in the middle, forming a word "媠" and at the other end was a city called Liaogao City.
Like Taiyang City, Liaogao City also borders Baiguan Province and is also one of the front lines of this war.
Seeing this, Meng Xiaotong suddenly realized and had guessed Lin Lichuan’s plan.
"You mean, we walk along the river, then head to Liaogao City, and then transfer from there to Baiguan Province?"
"To be precise, it's walking from the bottom of the river."
Lin Lichuan pointed to the spiritual pressure protective cover above the top of his head. It has the aura shielding effect of the protective cover. As long as you are careful, you will not be discovered by people from Qianyuan.
The enemy may not have thought that they would walk from the bottom of the river. Even if someone came down to investigate, they could sneak into the bottom of the mud and hide their bodies like before, and wait for the investigators to leave before continuing their journey.
The only disadvantage is that the speed of traveling is not too fast. After all, his spiritual pressure cannot be sustained forever, and he must rest and recover in the middle.
"Although Liaogao City is also a front-line city, as long as there are no extraordinary people chasing us, it is not difficult to return to Baiguan Province from there."
"Indeed, this is a good idea!" Meng Xiaotong's eyes gradually lit up, and her expression became excited again.
"In addition, this river will pass through Huangpo City halfway through, and maybe we can stop there for a while." Lin Lichuan said immediately.
As soon as these words were said, Meng Xiaotong was startled and exclaimed in dismay: "You don't want to assassinate Zhou Guanghuan, are you?"
"It's another matter whether to kill Zhou Guanghuan or not."
Lin Lichuan pursed his lips, and his eyes became darker and deeper in the dim protective cover. Although it was unpredictable, it seemed to turn into two bottomless black tans that could swallow all the light.
"Don't you want to know which guy betrayed us and put us in this almost deadly danger?"
"As the highest commander of the front line of Taiyang City, Zhou Guanghuan must know the source of the information!" Zhutian Avenue Map
