I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Novel - Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Crushed (I)

It was late at night.

Deep in the woods more than 10 kilometers south of East Lake City, Gu Chen ran at full speed, with several figures chasing closely behind him. The school heads did not stop him, and only followed closely dozens of meters away.

The bandages on his chest and shoulders had fallen off at some point. Coupled with the inevitable movement of his arms when he was running, his newly healed rib cage cracked open again.

A piercing pain came from his body, causing Gu Chen’s speed to decrease significantly. Naturally, he could not easily escape from the figures behind him.

“These external school heads are really annoying,” Gu Chen thought angrily.

He recalled the martial arts schools that the Kunshan Sect had set up in the small and medium-sized cities around Jiangnan City. Every time those school heads went up the mountain to see the heads of the inner courts, they would respectfully ask a true disciple like Gu Chen to pass on the message.

Most of the heads of the inner courts were focused on their own cultivation, and the management of the inner courts were basically left to the true disciples.

Although the school heads were once true disciples, they had been sent out as external members for many years. Their relationship with the sect was thus not as good as that of the current true disciples.

Therefore, even if the school heads were much older than the current true disciples and might be stronger, their status was much lower.

Gu Chen suddenly stopped and turned around.

He did not want his injuries to worsen. There might be a battle at the level of the inner courts’ heads later on, and he could not afford to be completely defenseless.

As expected, the school heads chasing after him also slowed down and stopped. The two sides still maintained a distance of dozens of meters.

Gu Chen swept his gaze across the surroundings and said with a ferocious expression, “None of you can leave later.”

His voice was filled with extreme anger, as if he wanted to vent out all the humiliation he had suffered due to Chen Yiming on the school heads.

Upon hearing this, the school heads looked at each other and fell into a dilemma.

The head of the Kunshan Sect, who was rushing over, would not take them seriously. It was not impossible for him to kill them directly.

However, if they retreated just like that, it would be difficult for them to explain themselves to the factions backing them. After all, the information had already been passed on.

“With the cultivation techniques of the Mantis Snake Sword School and the Divine Wind Martial Arts School, you are more suitable for staying behind than the others. I’ll wait for your good news later,” Lei Bojun said with a smile.

With that, he turned and left without looking back.

“Brother Lei is right.”

A few other heads reacted and turned to leave.

In the blink of an eye, only Wan Rong from the Mantis Snake Sword School and Wang Zuoliang from the Divine Wind School were left.

Wang Zuoliang had an extremely tall figure. His long arms and legs were clearly extraordinary.

The Divine Wind Leg Technique he cultivated was good for both short range and long range fights. When facing someone of the same level, he could usually attack or retreat at will.

Even when facing an opponent at the second stage of the warrior realm, as long as the other party did not specialize in speed, he did not need to be afraid.

Furthermore, the Kunshan Sect’s cultivation techniques were all focused on the fists. They specialized in lethality, not speed.

Wang Zuoliang glanced in the direction in which the others had left and said with a smile, “School Head Wan, if this continues, I’m afraid we’ll be taking a bullet for no reason.”

“I don’t think so. The top priority of the Kunshan Sect is the porcelain bowl. Why would they care about nobodies like us?” Wan Rong replied calmly with a smile.

“That makes sense. In any case, we didn’t do anything to Gu Chen. After they arrive, we can just retreat.” Wang Zuoliang nodded.

Their words echoed through the forest without hiding anything.

When Gu Chen heard this, his expression turned ugly.

The two of them did not take him seriously at all and were behaving like he was not there.

This was especially true for Wan Rong, who was the biggest obstacle between him and Wan Ya. The thought of letting his master kill Wan Rong in passing appeared in his mind. This way, the issue of his relationship with Wan Ya would be resolved easily.

Although he could not officially marry her, if he took her in as a mistress, the Kunshan Sect would view it as a kind of victory for their disciples.

The three of them were in a stalemate. Gu Chen did not continue to escape. Wan Rong and Wang Zuoliang even retreated to 100 meters away, quietly waiting for the heads of the various inner courts to arrive.

Three to four kilometers away from Gu Chen and the school heads, Chen Yiming walked forward slowly. Beside him was Wan Ya, who had begged to follow him when he left the villa.

At this moment, Wan Ya could not hide the anxiety on her face. She was very worried that Gu Chen would be surrounded by the school heads.

In her eyes, Gu Chen had just broken through to the warrior realm and was injured. No matter how she looked at it, it was impossible for him to defeat several school heads at the same level.

“The head of the Kunshan Sect might appear at any moment. Should we hurry up?” Wan Ya couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.

“The porcelain bowl is the Kunshan Sect’s target. There’s no need for the inner court heads to kill the school heads,” Chen Yiming said calmly.

After the explanation, they continued on their way.

After a long silence, Wan Ya said worriedly, “At the second stage of the warrior realm, one would have completed the transformation of his internal force. With just a casual strike, one can easily crush an ordinary warrior. Will my father be in danger?”

Chen Yiming glanced at Wan Ya and said casually, “The black fog internal force cultivated from the Mantis Snake Sword Technique naturally has the ability to conceal one in the dark. If Master Wan wants to retreat early, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Chen Yiming had had many experiences with this and had made use of the advantages brought by the black fog internal force first-hand.

Although one would not be completely concealed, as long as he kept a distance, he would not be afraid of enemies in the darkness of the night even if they were one level higher than him.

Back when Li Daoyi had chased after him for dozens of kilometers, Chen Yiming had used a trick to get others to cover for him.

However, even if there were no other people around, it would be very difficult to find someone in such a large area if they lost their target immediately.

Wan Ya nodded and gave up on the idea of rushing Chen Yiming.

At the same time, she didn’t dare to leave Chen Yiming’s side. In a battle between warriors, if a warrior candidate didn’t have someone to protect him, he might die if he got caught in the fight.

The two of them walked near a small river.

A tall figure suddenly appeared under the willow tree dozens of meters away.

He had a burly figure and long hair that draped over his shoulders. Even the darkness of the night could not hide his unusually strong arms. Even though he was just standing there, one could tell that he had not come with good intentions.

“With the alien bird creatures’ attack and the transportation of emergency supplies, Chen Yiming, you were lucky enough to survive for a while longer. Tonight, it’s time to seek justice for my eldest disciple, Wu Yunsheng,” Lei Bojun said with a long sigh.

On the second day after the warriors’ conference had ended, Lei Bojun found out from his disciple that Wu Yunsheng had gone to find trouble with Chen Yiming.

Before Lei Bojun could go to the scene to personally investigate, a flock of alien bird creatures attacked the city. After that, all the warriors were assigned to various tasks to rebuild the city by Ren Pingsheng.

However, within two days, there was suddenly news that Chen Yiming had broken through to the warrior realm. It was obvious who the murderer was.

However, Chen Yiming was in charge of transporting supplies essential for East Lake City. Lei Bojun didn’t dare to attack Chen Yiming during this period.

It was only tonight that a good opportunity appeared.

Wan Rong was held back by Gu Chen, and Chen Yiming had walked out of East Lake City alone. Wan Ya, a warrior candidate, didn’t have much combat strength.
