Chapter 1836 — Abandoning the Car and Fleeing
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Yu Liu knitted his brows, never imagining that these two would cling on so obstinately! A surge of annoyance welled up in his heart. His two palms, one left and one right, were raised level as if in an offhand gesture, then thrust outward, landing squarely upon Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan!
A master at the peak of the mid Earth rank and a master at the peak of the late Xuan rank — their strength was as far apart as heaven and earth, utterly beyond comparison. Especially when Yu Liu resorted to his martial techniques, he could easily kill Chen Yuxuan and Qiu Lingshan!
But Yu Xiaochen had laid down his word beforehand, which made Yu Liu somewhat wary. Though he employed his martial techniques, he did not put his full strength behind them, merely sending Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan flying. They would not suffer serious wounds, but light injuries were unavoidable.
Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan flew out horizontally, one to the left and one to the right. Grief flooded both their hearts — they had not lasted even a single exchange under Yu Liu's hands. They had been sent flying backward without even seeing how Yu Liu had made his move!
This made it only too clear that the gap between their strengths was simply too vast. Their earlier intention of staking their lives against Yu Liu had been laughable in the extreme. If Yu Liu had truly been minded to take their lives, they would have died long ago!
And yet, neither Chen Yuxuan nor Qiu Lingshan could understand why Yu Liu had shown mercy! Judging by the menacing air with which he had come looking for Wei Zhao, he hardly seemed the sort to be soft-hearted. But this question was destined to go forever unanswered, for after sending Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan flying, Yu Liu's figure swiftly vanished into the night, chasing after the direction in which Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had headed!
At that moment, the Grand Cherokee that Gu Mengyao had been driving was quietly parked beneath an overpass. Gu Mengyao was laden with a large pile of parcels, Shen Yushu carried Wei Zhao on her back, and the two of them were running through the night with every ounce of strength they could muster.
The two knew full well that Yu Liu would surely come in pursuit, so Gu Mengyao had decisively abandoned the car and switched to going on foot. It was more arduous, but at least it would not easily give away their whereabouts!
"Phew..." Gu Mengyao was already breathless from running. Where this burst of explosive energy had come from was anyone's guess — the two large bundles in her hands did not tire her in the least. Shen Yushu was just the same, carrying Wei Zhao on her back as she ran like the wind!
In dangerous situations, a person's potential is boundless, but the potential of these two was clearly even greater than that of ordinary people.
Thunder Pig and Majestic General, by contrast, each had three or more bundles strapped to their backs, yet they too were running at a great clip. This amount of weight seemed to count for nothing to them at all!
The only constraint was the limited carrying space on their backs; otherwise, even the two bundles in Gu Mengyao's hands and Wei Zhao on Xiao Shu's back could have been handed over to them without the slightest problem!
"Sister Yaoyao, how much longer do we have to run? I'm about to lose all my strength..." The two of them had been running ever since they got out of the car beneath the overpass, and by now they had already covered more than a thousand meters.
"We need to find someplace more secluded — at least a back alley of some kind!" Gu Mengyao said. "If we get caught, then your Jianpai brother is done for!"
"Oh, then Xiao Shu is full of strength again..." Shen Yushu gritted her teeth and shouted.
"..." Gu Mengyao was quite speechless. This Xiao Shu — the moment Wei Zhao's danger was mentioned, she would burst into her little-universe explosion.
