Chapter 90: No Escape Even With Wings

Chapter 90: Chapter 90: No Escape Even With WingsFang Bai memorized the correct direction of the passage, then immediately turned around and rushed towards the exit. Since Fang Bai couldn’t pursue the Hungry Wolf through the underground passage, he chose to chase on the surface. Fang Bai had keen senses, and though his tracking skills might not be unparalleled in the world, they were rare; as long as the Hungry Wolf didn’t flee too far within a short period, Fang Bai had ways to find him. In the hall outside, everyone but a dozen or so people who had been knocked out by Fang Bai had vanished. Fang Bai soared to the garage shutter door, seeing all those people gathered there, with some pounding on the shutter door, trying to get those outside to open it. The sudden appearance of Fang Bai made everyone grow quiet, and each person looking at Fang Bai had fear and panic in their eyes. Fang Bai ignored them, walked up to the shutter door, took out the key to unlock it and was the first to leap out. He jumped onto the roof of the garage, identified the direction, then using the "Dragon Soaring to the Heavens" movement technique from the Dragon-Tiger-Lion-Elephant Technique, he began to chase in the direction the Hungry Wolf had fled. The members of the Hungry Wolf Group, seeing Fang Bai leave, sighed in relief, rushing out of the garage into the large courtyard outside. As they watched Fang Bai moving up and down, disappearing into the night in an instant, they knew they had encountered a master and began to doubt if the Hungry Wolf could successfully escape. Fang Bai dashed out of the car repair yard, and after landing, he sped off towards the east. Eastward from here was the city’s outskirts; since Fang Bai was not on a main road, he didn’t worry about encountering pedestrians or vehicles, so he moved at full speed without holding back. His movement technique was incredibly fast, his figure flitting by so that only a faint shadow could be seen cutting through the night. Following the direction of the underground passage, Fang Bai continued the pursuit for about two miles to the vicinity of Bihe River, finally spotting a three-story villa by the roadside, leaning against the mountains and waters. When Fang Bai was about a hundred meters from the villa, he heard the sound of a car engine from within the courtyard, evidently, someone had started a vehicle. Fang Bai stimulated his True Yuan, immediately speeding up his pace; before he even reached the villa’s entrance, he saw a black sedan with headlights blazing, charging out of the gate into the night. In the instant that the sedan sped past, Fang Bai glimpsed through the car glass two figures seated inside. One of them was the Hungry Wolf, and the other, presumably, was the Hungry Wolf’s bodyguard and driver. ... The moment the black sedan crashed out of the villa’s gate, the Hungry Wolf inside the car also caught sight of Fang Bai, wearing his malevolent ghost mask. He hadn’t expected Fang Bai to catch up so quickly and was shocked, but when he saw Fang Bai quickly falling far behind the car, he relaxed again. With the car’s speed surpassing fifty meters per second, he believed no martial artist, no matter how formidable, could hope to keep up. After the car had raced for a few miles, it reached a large iron bridge crossing the Bihe River. It was then, quite unexpectedly, that a heavy rain began to pour down. The rain was falling too heavily and the sky was too dark, so the driver did not dare to speed up too much, to avoid an accident. "Boss, someone’s blocking the road ahead!" As the sedan was midway across the bridge, the driver, who was focused on driving, suddenly shouted. The Hungry Wolf, who had just relaxed, tensed up again at these words. He widened his eyes and, aided by the headlights, peered through the heavy rain, seeing a figure that appeared to have descended from the sky, standing right in the center of the road ahead. "How is this possible?" Sёarch* The NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing the figure in the malevolent ghost mask in the heavy rain, the Hungry Wolf’s eyes nearly popped out of his head, crying out in shock. He could never have imagined that Fang Bai would not only catch up but would also arrive ahead of them. Was this guy human or a ghost? If a ghost, he clearly had flesh and blood and a shadow. If it were a human, how could they possibly move with such ghostly speed? "Boss, what should we do?" The sedan driver was clearly very nervous, a layer of sweat already forming on his forehead, he asked urgently. "Speed up and run him over, kill him!" Hungry Wolf made a decisive decision, while drawing his pistol, sticking his head out of the car window, and began firing at Fang Bai. The driver also suddenly accelerated, the sedan with the roar of its engine, like a madly charging beast, slammed towards Fang Bai, a dozen meters ahead. Bang bang bang— During the car’s forward charge, Hungry Wolf emptied the bullets from his handgun. However, Fang Bai always managed to anticipate his opponent’s moves, changing his position before Hungry Wolf could aim and pull the trigger each time, resulting in all of Hungry Wolf’s shots missing. Hungry Wolf turned even paler, his body beginning to tremble violently. This time he was truly scared. A man who could even dodge bullets was surely beyond the likelihood of being hit by a car; how on earth could anyone continue to play this game with such an abnormally powerful freak? Now Hungry Wolf no longer hoped the sedan would hit Fang Bai; he just wished to cross the iron bridge and then shake Fang Bai off at the fastest speed possible, the farther the better. For the rest of his life, Hungry Wolf never wanted to see this terrifying guy wearing the demon mask again. Bang— When the sedan was still a dozen meters away from Fang Bai, his gun also fired. Fang Bai’s target wasn’t Hungry Wolf, who was sitting in the front passenger seat of the sedan, but the driver. Though he had never used a gun before, Fang Bai knew how to aim and shoot. However, since it was his first time using a gun, the first shot inevitably went astray, the bullet whizzing past the left side mirror of the sedan. After the first missed shot, Fang Bai immediately understood where he had made a mistake. He quickly adjusted his aim, then fired the second and third shots consecutively. Bang— Bang— The sound of gunfire resonated again. Two bullets, one after the other, shot out from the barrel, producing a sharp, piercing sonic boom as they struck the windshield of the oncoming sedan. Hungry Wolf’s sedan had certain bulletproof features; the first bullet didn’t penetrate the windshield, but the strong impact left a coin-sized crack on it. Then the second bullet hit the same spot as the first, causing the crack to enlarge slightly. If two more bullets struck the same point, the bulletproof glass would likely shatter. Fang Bai’s shots were incredibly accurate; had the windshield of the sedan not been bulletproof, the first bullet would have pierced through the glass and ’decorated’ the driver’s head. Nevertheless, the driver was so scared out of his wits that in a panic, his subconscious reaction was to slam on the brakes and violently turn the steering wheel, trying to evade Fang Bai’s subsequent shots. Because the sedan was in high-speed motion, combined with the slippery road from the rain, the driver’s actions caused the car to lose control and flip on its side, screeching as it slid across the ground and crashed into the western railing of the iron bridge. "Boom!" With a loud crash, the sedan hit the railing of the iron bridge, rolled over a few times, and finally landed with its wheels pointing up. The night was deep, the rain heavy, and there were no pedestrians or vehicles passing by on the iron bridge; otherwise, this sight would have been quite astonishing.
