Boom! Boom!
The car exploded and was reduced to pieces of scrap metal before it even hit the ground, splattering all over the mountain path.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In the air, the group of pursuers descended rapidly and burrowed into the woods.
“Liu Jufen! You won’t get away!”
Han Zong’s enraged voice resounded through the air once again.
“President Liu, please stop. Hand over the True Energy for Beginners, and I can take it that this never happened,” said Ma Shifeng, his voice echoing through the woods.
“President Liu, so what if you get the True Energy for Beginners?”
Liang Yiqing’s voice rang out. “The other three ancient books have all disappeared. What’s the point of taking away the True Energy for Beginners?Besides, it hasn’t been unlocked. It’s still unknown whether the map to the Mausoleum of Prince Qin is really hidden in the ancient manuals.”
“Let go. It’s not too late to let go now,” Gu Shiyang was the last to speak, his voice echoing as well.
Out of the four fourth-grade experts of Xuantian, only Jiang Cheng remained behind to guard the school. The other three had all come after him.
However, Liu Jufen, who was escaping, ignored all the threats and advice. All he cared about was sprinting at full speed, weaving through the woods at lightning speed.
Half of the group consisting of Han Zong, Ma Shifeng, and the others were chasing at low altitudes, while the other half were chasing in the woods.
No matter where they were, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Liu Jufen’s figure.
Su Jingxing, who was at the back, hung around leisurely.
Suddenly, he saw a few figures moving after Han Zong, Ma Shifeng, and the others suddenly sped up. They flew forward and disappeared.
When they reappeared, two figures were already in front of Liu Jufen, blocking his way.
Swish! Swish!
Blade energy and hidden weapons shot out at the same time, launching attacks at Liu Goufen from high and low.
With a swift movement, Liu Jufen who was running like the wind changed his direction and charged towards the right side of the forest.
Unexpectedly…
Swish!
Streams of cold sword energy also shot out from the forest on the right. They weaved together to form a web that quickly closed in on Liu Jufen.
Not only that, a burning aura was gushing out from the forest to Liu Jufen��s left, cutting off his path.
People blocked his way from the front, back, left, and right.
Without a choice, Liu Gufen soared into the sky.
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted in the air.
Han Zong, with his aura fully released with flames and true energy swirling around him was like a fiery god of war. He descended from the sky and charged at Liu Gufen.
“Ahhh!”
Liu Jufen, who was engrossed in escaping, finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and let out a roar.
True energy shot out from his body in all directions, transforming into palm prints in the blink of an eye. Dark winds stirred as an incomparably cold wave surged into the air, front, back, left, and right.
He was actually vainly trying to fight ten people by himself!
Boom boom boom!
A dull explosion resounded through the woods.
A terrifying shockwave swept through the air, breaking trees, shattering rocks, and throwing mud into the air.
Like bombs, the furious force plowed through the area with a hundred-meter radius from the center outwards.
Within this range, not a single tree remained intact.
At the center, Liu Jufen took most of the blow. However, he did not die. His face was pale, and some blood was trickling down the corner of his lips.
He stood at the bottom of a pit, surrounded by an overpowering aura.
Blue icy true energy covered his entire body, so his injuries were limited.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A few people descended from the sky.
There were also people walking out from the woods around him.
They surrounded Liu Gufen tightly.
“Can we stop now, President Liu?” asked Liang Yiqing solemnly.
“Liu Jufen, I’m giving you one last chance. Hand over the True Energy for Beginners!” Han Zong bellowed.
“President Liu, what’s the point of doing this?” Ma Shifeng sighed. “If you want the map, so do we. Wouldn’t it be better if we all sat down and unlocked the secret in the ancient manual together? Do you have to go as far as to taking away the manual?”
Liu Jufen said nothing. His face was tense, and his eyes shone with madness.
“Liu Jufen, I’m asking you a question. Are you mute?” Han Zong cursed irritably.
“President Ma, there’s no need to waste our breath on him. Let’s get moving,” said a fourth-grade martial artist who had helped intercept Liu Jufen.
“This…”
“Hahaha…”
At this point, Liu Jufen suddenly burst out laughing. “You want the True Energy for Beginners? Do you really think I would hide such an ancient manual on me?”
“What do you mean?” asked Han Zong with an ugly expression.
“What do I mean? Haven’t you already guessed it?” sneered Liu Jufen. “You guys have been chasing me for a long time now. Have you ever thought that someone else has gone far away with the True Energy for Beginners?”
A diversion?
The expressions of the people surrounding Liu Jufen changed drastically.
Su Jingxing’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly composed himself. He carefully sensed Liu Jufen’s words and realized that he wasn’t being completely honest.
In other words, he wasn’t speaking the truth entirely. Some of it was true, but some of it had been concealed.
“Liu Jufen, do you think we are so easily fooled?”
A fourth-grade martial artist shouted coldly and pounced at him without another word.
“We’ll know whether the True Energy for Beginners is on you once we search you!”
Boom boom!
The palm imprint soared into the sky and flew at Liu Gufen.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Seeing this, the others also executed their ultimate techniques and attacked Liu Jufen.
With the support of their protective true energy, they had no fear of breaking the ancient manual.
Of course, it didn’t matter even if it was broken.
As two of the manuals were lost, with the third nowhere to be seen. It didn’t really matter whether the manual that Liu Jufen had in his possession was complete or not.
It would have been great if it was still there, but if it was gone or destroyed, they would resign themselves to fate.
The Mausoleum of Prince Qin had been there for hundreds of years, and no one had ever entered it. If they didn’t have the fortune to enter it, it wasn’t a big deal either.
Therefore, no one held back when attacking Liu Jufen.
Liu Jufen did not hold back in his resistance either.
Sword energy, blade energy, palm imprints, fist imprints… for a moment, they danced and clashed in the debris-filled battlefield.
They plowed through the ground covered with broken wood again and again.
Dust danced in the air.
Ma Shifeng, Han Zong, Liang Yiqing, and the others watched nervously, preparing themselves for the final rescue.
Who would they save?
Liu Jufen of course!
They couldn’t afford to kill this fellow yet; he had to stay alive before they find the True Energy for Beginners.
Even though they didn’t understand why Liu Jufen wanted to take the True Energy for Beginners, he had already done it. Now that he was being ganged up on, he deserved it.
If he cooperated with them and handed over the ancient manual, he wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble.
With these thoughts in mind, Ma Shifeng, Han Zong, and the others were in no hurry to make a move. Instead, they watched from the side.
And…
Bam!
An explosion erupted.
Under siege, Liu Jufen suddenly unleashed his aura. Then, for some reason, he used his secret ability and self-destructed!
