Free Web NovelChapter 166: The Chase Begins!
Long Chen was anxious and his movements became swift like lightning!
In the dark night, his figure was actually flickering with flashes of lightning.
Gradually, he began to close the distance between them.
The masked person noticed this and was shocked.
It seems what the master said is true, Long Chen’s abilities are comprehensive,
even his speed is comparable to that of top-tier second-class assassins.
But, I am a first-class assassin...
Thinking this, the masked person chuckled lightly:
"Haha, interesting..."
"But if this is all you’ve got, you can forget about rescuing the girl on my shoulder!"
This voice was cold and indifferent, like frost without any warmth...
And the pronunciation of the Chinese language was very awkward...
Upon hearing this voice, Long Chen was extremely puzzled!
What!!?
The one who abducted Xiao Qiao is a woman!!?
Why!!
If it were a man, Long Chen could understand.
After all, Xiao Qiao was renowned as one of the top beauties in Lujiang County and even in the entire Yangzhou.
She was the dream lover of countless men.
Many would be tempted by her beauty and abduct her.
But... but this so-called "flower thief" is a woman!
Could she be... interested in women?
What is her ultimate goal in abducting Xiao Qiao?
Long Chen felt as if he was shrouded in thick clouds, unable to see what lay ahead.
He wanted to quickly catch up to the female thief and get some answers.
But the distance was not closing; in fact, it was increasing!
Firstly, he had just used his thunder power to forcefully increase his speed, causing a temporary surge in speed,
but this also consumed a large amount of spiritual energy, which was a huge burden for Long Chen.
Currently,
his spiritual energy was severely depleted, leaving him with very little.
Due to using his lightness skill, his contact time with the ground was brief,
making it impossible to replenish his spiritual energy from the earth.
Could it be... that he would just have to watch the thief carry Xiao Qiao away?
"Zhongkang!! Erlai!!! Where are you!!?"
Long Chen shouted loudly.
It was like a thunderclap breaking the silence of the night!
Instantly,
he drew the attention of the Tiger Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards protecting the Qiao family courtyard, as well as Dian Wei and Xu Chu!
"Master, Xu Chu is here!!!"
"Master, Dian Wei is here!!!"
Two human-shaped beasts sprang out of bed, like prehistoric beasts, exuding terrifying and shocking power.
The masked person was alarmed upon seeing this and immediately pushed her speed to the limit.
Long Chen swiftly drew the Qinggang Sword from his waist—
Buzz—
The sword hummed,
a majestic golden dragon shot out from the blade.
Boom—
The masked person quickly turned and conjured a pink cherry blossom shield from her palm.
It blocked the golden dragon.
Using the force, she sped further away!
Hmm!?
Cherry blossoms?!!
Long Chen, forcing the masked person to use her skill, noticed a small detail.
The female thief’s skill had a cherry blossom motif!!!
Typically, this kind of motif would only be found in the neighboring Sakura Country, rarely seen in China.
Could it be a coincidence!!?
No, there are no such coincidences in the world!!
This person must be an assassin from Sakura Country—
So what is her real purpose in abducting Xiao Qiao?
Given the urgency and needing to pursue the thief,
Long Chen quickly had three guesses,
First, this female thief was sent by her master because her master took a liking to Xiao Qiao and ordered her to capture her. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Second, the female thief was acting on her own intentions, and her purpose was currently unclear...
Third, and the most likely guess, her purpose in capturing Xiao Qiao was to lure him away!!
Because previously, Long Chen had been lured out of the city due to Zhang Ning’s affair and had almost been killed.
He had always kept that lesson in mind!
Could it be the same organization again??!!
Otherwise, why would they send such a powerful assassin this time?
If the previous assassins were third-rate, then this time they had sent a first-class assassin!
While Long Chen was contemplating.
A scream came from the rear.
"Ah—"
Hearing this, Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat.
Instinctively, he turned his head to look for the dignified and captivating woman in the light green dress.
To his shock, he saw Da Qiao on the rooftop, screaming loudly. Five or six female assassins in black tight-fitting clothes had surrounded her.
The assassins’ outfits were adorned with lifelike pink cherry blossoms!
In an instant, the assassins captured Da Qiao with lightning speed.
Bang—
Several dark, fist-sized pellets were thrown to the ground by the assassins,
Suddenly,
gray-black mist enveloped the area within a radius of ten miles, obscuring the view.
This was the signature smoke bomb of Japanese ninjas!!!
Not good!
This is a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain!!!
The first assassin was a diversion to draw him away while they went after Da Qiao.
They... they want to take both Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!!!
Long Chen was furious!!!
In a hurry,
Long Chen instructed Xu Chu and Dian Wei,
"Zhongkang, Erlai! Immediately send troops to guard the city gates of Wan County. Do not let these thieves escape!!!"
"Yes!!"
Both knew the situation was urgent!
Someone dared to target their master’s wife, who could tolerate that!!!
Both immediately led the Tiger Guards they commanded to the city gates of Wan County to carry out their master’s orders!
As long as they guarded the city gates,
these assassins would be trapped inside Wan County, unable to escape!!!
At the same time,
Long Chen quickly took out a gray-yellow tube from his waist. A flash of lightning ran across his fingertips.
Crack—
With a thunderous sound,
the mouth of the tube was instantly ignited by the lightning, and Long Chen aimed the tube at the sky.
Boom boom boom————
Five thunderous fireworks shot out from the tube.
The might was earth-shaking!
This was one of Long Chen’s methods for summoning the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
Through the conspicuous thunderous fireworks from the tube, all the Embroidered Uniform Guards within and around Wan County could sense the call!
This way,
hundreds of Embroidered Uniform Guards would quickly gather!
Not only that,
Long Chen swiftly issued a task to capture those female ninjas from Sakura Country—
He intended to set a trap in Wan County, creating an inescapable net for the female assassins!!!
Swish!
A colorless, transparent flame ignited in Long Chen’s palm.
This was a tracking technique from the "Human Escape" scroll, capable of locating Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao through their aura.
If Long Chen’s guess was correct,
both of them would ultimately be placed together by the ninjas,
so tracking just one of them would suffice!
"Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, rest assured, I will find you both!!!"
Beep beep beep—
Long Chen closed his eyes and sensed Da Qiao’s position continuously changing, moving swiftly.
The direction was southeast!
The distance was several dozen miles from his current location.
These ninjas were indeed extraordinary; their speed was incredibly fast!
