Chapter 2263 — The Pursuit
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
In the mirror appeared a man and a beast. Wasn't that the very man who had tried to stop No. 02 from abducting Wang Xinyan? And his mount—what on earth was it? It looked like a horse but wasn't a horse, like an ox but wasn't an ox—more like some unicorn out of a myth!
Where had this man come from? Even if he'd been driving a tank or an armored vehicle, it wouldn't have filled Big Mule with the same dread and shock as this inexplicable creature bearing down on him!
And that wasn't all. What truly terrified him was that the thing was running faster than a car—it had already caught up in the blink of an eye and looked about to pull even.
Then the man and beast vanished from the mirror—because Big Mule turned his head and saw Wu Chengtian, mounted on that bizarre giant beast, grinning at him.
"Holy shit!" Big Mule floored the accelerator, but his clunker simply lacked the power. He had never imagined a monster like this would come chasing him—cold sweat poured down his body, and the hairs on his arms stood on end.
In truth, Wu Chengtian could only try to intimidate him; he didn't dare force the car to stop or have the Wind-Thunder Purple Lightning Beast kick it over. After all, Wang Xinyan was still inside, and she wasn't a cultivator—if the car flipped, she would never survive.
So Wu Chengtian could only wait for Big Mule to stop the car himself. Only then could he make his move.
Big Mule glanced at the giant beast running alongside him and trembled all over. A biohuman was terrifying enough—and now this thing had appeared out of nowhere!
There was no help for it. Big Mule could only dial An Liwen's number while he drove. "Brother Wen, we've got trouble—a monster is following me!"
"What? A monster?" An Liwen had been enjoying a novel, and Big Mule's words left him utterly baffled. "What monster? You still half asleep?"
"No, Brother Wen, there really is a monster—a man riding a beast... The beast runs incredibly fast, and it has a horn on its head..." Big Mule said.
"Oh... wait, what did you say? A horn on its head? Could it be the Wind-Thunder Purple Lightning Beast?" An Liwen had heard the full account of the Hidden World Families Summit and knew that Wei Zhao had swindled a spirit beast from the Qianshan Sect—the Wind-Thunder Purple Lightning Beast. He'd heard it was extremely fast, and the description matched.
"Wind-Thunder Purple Lightning Beast? What's that?" Big Mule was baffled.
"Stop the car and let No. 02 deal with them. If No. 02 loses, give Wang Xinyan back. If he wins, continue the kidnapping!" An Liwen pondered for a moment, then made his decision.
He wasn't upset. If the Wind-Thunder Purple Lightning Beast intervened, then any failure really wasn't his fault! (To be continued) RQ
