Chapter 695: Chapter 694: Escaping So Fast
Hu Lizhong felt as though his liver and gallbladder were shattering, his soul nearly scattering from the fear.
The power of that Thunder Talisman was just too horrendous, coupled with Yang Fei’s loud screams echoing throughout the entire valley, forcing him to contemplate the worst.
And if Yang Fei were to die here, could he possibly still live?
Perhaps he could.
After all, he was an expert at the Innate Realm, surely he still had some value to offer?
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Old Hu’s mind.
Zhuge Cang too was convinced that Yang Fei was doomed.
This Thunder Talisman was one of his ultimate life-saving measures, using it today pained his heart greatly, but to defend his dignity in front of these people, he had to use it.
Accompanied by a pitiful cry of agony, Yang Fei’s body fell to the ground.
Inside the valley, except for Hu Lizhong, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
This terrifying fellow was finally dead.
High in the sky, Zhuge Cang, pale and weak, gazed at Yang Fei’s body, intending to descend for a closer examination, but suddenly his pupils shrank as he looked around.
Within the Five Elements Thousand Mechanism Formation, the densely packed nature’s spiritual energy, as if summoned, hurriedly gathered towards Yang Fei’s location.
Though this spiritual power was invisible to the naked eye, Zhuge Cang, as the controller of the formation, had an extremely keen sense of it.
He had noticed this anomaly before, thinking someone had tampered with the formation, but now, realizing this scene, his pupils contracted as he locked his gaze on the piece of wood in Yang Fei’s hands.
Fusang Wood!
It was definitely Fusang Wood!
A hint of excitement emerged on Zhuge Cang’s wan face, and in a flash, he descended towards Yang Fei’s location.
The Six Changes Wood Box had indeed been unlocked by this youngster, and inside lay the legendary Fusang Wood!
This was just perfect.
With the Fusang Wood, the Zhuge family would be the future rulers of this realm!
"Cough, cough..,"
Zhuge Cang descended from the sky, less than ten meters away from Yang Fei, when suddenly he heard intense coughing sounds, startling him into a quick halt, wary to approach any closer.
To see, after being struck down by that Thunder Talisman and falling, Yang Fei’s body actually moved slightly as he coughed and stood up.
A faint golden halo whirled around Yang Fei’s body.
This halo turned into a circular light shield, and on it, the spiritual energy flowing in from all directions crazily drilled in, causing the golden shield to look almost fluid to the naked eye.
"That seriously hurt, but man, it feels awesome!"
Yang Fei dusted himself off and, looking up at Zhuge Cang, said with a smile.
Chu Que, Chu Tianshu, several top experts from the Military Department, and special operations members from the Central Battle Zone were all utterly dumbfounded.
"F*ck, is this guy even human?"
"He survived that?"
"And it seems like he’s not even injured."
Even these strictly trained soldiers couldn’t suppress their shock at this moment and murmured among themselves, discussing fervently.
For the vast majority of soldiers, everything they had witnessed today had overturned their understanding of the world.
"Kill him!" Chu Tianshu, after a brief shock, roared loudly.
This child was a demon and keeping him would be a nightmare for the Chu family, unsettling their peace.
Perhaps one person couldn’t change the general situation, but having such a powerful individual alive was like a ticking time bomb hanging over their heads.
Chu Que also came back to his senses and commanded loudly, "Open fire!"
"Bang!"
A loud noise, and Yang Fei vanished from the spot.
Ratatatat...
Bang, bang, bang!!!
Bullets swept towards where he had just been.
One after another, Energy Bombs dropped, some exploding directly in the area where Yang Fei had been, while others pursued his body, firing into the distance when they missed.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
Smoke arose everywhere, explosions continuing nonstop.
However, by the time Chu Tianshu and Chu Que gave their commands, Yang Fei had already escaped from the spot, charging towards Zhuge Cang.
Zhuge Cang was terribly alarmed.
He just wanted to take the Fusang Wood but had not expected that Yang Fei could be alive after enduring the thunderbolt and still maintain such a terrifying state of combat power.
Seeing Yang Fei charging at him, startled, he decisively crushed another talisman that he had drawn when he took out the Thunder Talisman.
Buzz!
The void trembled, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.
The next moment, Zhuge Cang’s figure vanished from the spot.
Yang Fei threw a punch into the air, his body breaking through two voids, and immediately lost his target.
His pupils contracted as his Divine Sense quickly released, trying to locate Zhuge Cang, but he scanned in vain.
In the valley, many who witnessed this scene were once again dumbfounded and speechless.
Many people immediately rubbed their eyes, then opened them again to search.
Gone!
A living person had vanished into thin air before everyone’s eyes?
In the void, countless bullets swept toward Yang Fei’s direction.
Yang Fei, relying on the dense nature’s spiritual energy within the valley, swiftly maneuvered his body, dodging bullets while quickly searching for a glimpse of Zhuge Cang.
A living person couldn’t just disappear into thin air.
At most, it was just moving fast enough to create the visual illusion of disappearing for a short time.
Hiss!
About three seconds later, a sharp piercing sound traveled from afar.
Yang Fei’s pupils contracted as he quickly turned his head in that direction and indeed spotted a figure flashing by.
It was already outside the valley, at least three hundred meters away in a straight line from where he stood. Even though his eyesight was remarkable, he could only see a tiny figure. Judging by that silhouette, it was indeed Zhuge Cang.
In an instant, several hundred meters—such speed was indeed astounding.
While Yang Fei was in shock, his eyelids twitched.
Gone again!
The sharp piercing sound came again, but in less than three seconds, another figure appeared even farther away.
The distance grew larger, and that figure in everyone’s view became smaller and smaller.
Yang Fei took a deep breath, thinking of the talisman Zhuge Cang had crushed.
Thousand-mile Divine Travel Talisman?
Well, saying a thousand miles was indeed an exaggeration, Zhuge Cang’s talisman was indeed formidable, but it could only instantly transport someone a few hundred meters. However, it seemed to have a certain duration, within a few breaths, Zhuge Cang had already disappeared into a dot in the distance.
Even though Yang Fei could now walk on air, compared to Zhuge Cang’s speed, there was no way he could catch up.
You sure run fast!
Yang Fei let out an unwilling cold snort, and amidst the dense barrage of bullets, many hit him, but were unable to penetrate his Protective Gang Qi.
With a flash, Yang Fei descended like a deity returning to earth, landing back in the valley.
The moment he touched ground, he catapulted up, striking like a hawk grasping a rabbit, heading straight for the area where brothers Chu Que and Chu Tianshu were.
"Stop him!"
Chu Que shouted, his voice breaking.
At the same time, he himself fired his gun repeatedly, seemingly forgetting that he was also a martial artist at the Energy Transformation Realm Ninth Grade, instead placing his hopes on firearms.
The handgun posed nearly negligible lethality to Yang Fei.
Weapons that could threaten him, like the Gatling, Barrett Heavy Sniper, and Energy Bombs, were not precisely targeted due to his high speed. Even if some bombs exploded near him, his robust physical defense combined with his Protective Gang Qi minimized the damage.
Especially when he approached Chu Que and Chu Tianshu, others hesitated to fire, daring not to shoot recklessly.
"Bang Bang Bang!!!"
Sixteen shots from the handgun emptied half its bullets in just two seconds. However, facing such attacks, Yang Fei didn’t even dodge. He just charged directly at him.
Chu Que was terrified and decisively turned to flee, but it was too late.
"Boom!"
A wooden slat smashed down on his head.
Splat!
Like a burst watermelon, his hard head was smashed open.
Chu Tianshu was more decisive than Chu Que. While Chu Que was firing back, he madly dashed towards the distance.
But by the time Yang Fei had dealt with Chu Que, he had only managed to run a little over ten meters.
Yang Fei waved his hand, throwing the Fusang Wood, hitting Chu Tianshu in the back of the head precisely.
Splat!
Another explosion.
Chu Tianshu, despite being at the Unique Tier, would not have been overwhelmed by Yang Fei if he had resisted fiercely, but unfortunately, his courage had already been broken, and he had no will to resist Yang Fei.
