Acting
Sun Shu had a dark expression on his face. He thought for a moment and decided to let Chen Fei go first. Otherwise, it would be too ostentatious to make such a long journey. Now that the Zhang family had put a bounty on his head, he might get caught.
However, just as Sun Shu was about to give up, he suddenly realized that Chen Fei, who was running in front of him, had slowed down. Although he was still faster than ordinary Skin Toughening realm or even Body Tempering realm martial artists, it was already within Sun Shu’s range.
“Was that a secret technique?”
Sun Shu felt something shift inside, feeling that this speed was more reasonable. Otherwise, even a Bone Tempering realm martial artist like him would not be able to match the speed of the movement technique just now. It would be completely unreasonable for it to appear on a Skin Toughening realm martial artist.
“Brat, let’s see where you can run to!”
Sun Shu sneered and followed closely behind. In just a moment, the distance between the two sides was reduced by half. At this moment, it was only 20 meters. If they both maintained the same speed, Sun Shu would be able to catch Chen Fei in just a few more steps.
As if sensing the pressure behind him, Chen Fei took the opportunity to turn around and look at Sun Shu. He realized that the distance between the two sides was constantly closing, and his face turned pale with fear.
When Sun Shu saw Chen Fei’s expression, he couldn’t help but reveal a sinister smile. He liked it when others showed such an expression, just like those low-level laborers whose life and death were completely in his control.
It seemed that the pressure of death forced Chen Fei to increase his speed when Sun Shu was only a dozen meters away. He slowly pulled away from Sun Shu again.
“It’s useless!”
Sun Shu sneered and waved his right hand. A cold light flashed. Chen Fei’s figure in front of him swayed and dodged Sun Shu’s hidden weapon. However, the speed of his movement technique was affected, and the distance between him and Sun Shu was reduced to only slightly more than ten meters.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChen Fei ran with all his might. One could even see that his neck was red due to the intense strength he exerted. It was as if Chen Fei would be exhausted and fall to the side the next moment.
However, Chen Fei persisted. The two of them pulled back and forth between a distance of more than ten meters and a distance of more than twenty meters. At the closest point, they were already within ten meters.
However, in the end, Chen Fei desperately pulled them apart, causing Sun Shu to be unable to catch up to Chen Fei.
Sun Shu gritted his teeth, the anger in his heart rising. Originally, he thought that killing Chen Fei would not be much harder than killing a couple of chickens.
However, the movement technique that Chen Fei displayed shocked Sun Shu. When Sun Shu realized it was a secret technique after, he managed to close the gap. However, this distance was like a chasm that could not be crossed.
How could Sun Shu not be furious? It even caused him to lose his rationality.
“No, this place is too close to the Zhang Clan!”
Sun Shu was chasing Chen Fei like a crazed man. The feeling of being so close to capturing Chen Fei made Sun Shu a little dizzy. However, when he saw his surroundings, Sun Shu was snapped back to his senses.
After running for another few hundred meters, they would arrive at the Zhang family’s residence. At this moment, Sun Shu seemed to be in high spirits, killing people whenever he wanted to. However, if he really went to the Zhang family, he would be the one to die in the end.
Even if he wanted to die, the Zhang family might see to it that it was long and drawn out. It was inevitable that he would be tortured.
Sun Shu stopped in his tracks and looked at Chen Fei with a vicious gaze. He planned to retreat first. This position was too dangerous. Even if Sun Shu wanted to kill Chen Fei, he would not gamble his life.
“Hmm?”
Chen Fei, who was running forward, noticed that there was no movement behind him. He couldn’t help but look back and saw Sun Shu stop and look over with a cold gaze.
Chen Fei’s figure flipped and stepped on the roof of a building. He placed his hands on his knees and bent over as he panted heavily. It was as if Chen Fei would faint from exhaustion in the next moment.
“Consider yourself lucky. The next time we meet, it will be your death date!”
Sun Shu looked at Chen Fei as if he could strangle him to death with a casual hand. He could not help but want to go forward. However, Sun Shu hesitated for a moment before turning around and disappearing into the alley.
Chen Fei watched as Sun Shu left. His originally panting appearance suddenly stopped, and he slowly straightened up.
“Damn. So close. This Sun Shu is too cautious!”
His breathing was calm, and his skin, which had turned red from the intense exertion, had returned to normal.
Yes, these were all Chen Fei’s pretense in order to lure Sun Shu to the Zhang Family Estate. He had been acting the entire time, maintaining a distance from Sun Shu in order to bait Sun Shu.
In order to make the act look real, Chen Fei even used the disguise technique to make it look extra real and deceive Sun Shu. But in the end, it was still a little lacking.
If they had advanced another hundred meters, Chen Fei would’ve shouted loudly, and the Zhang family’s guards would have rushed out. At that time, Sun Shu would have no way of escaping. As it was, it was a pity Sun Shu stopped when he did.
In the end, it was still Chen Fei’s own strength that was a little lacking. Otherwise, he could have captured Sun Shu and exchanged him for that high bounty.
“If I go to the Zhang family to report it, I can probably exchange it for some reward silver.”
Chen Fei thought for a moment before he turned around and continued to run toward the Zhang Family Estate.
Fifteen minutes later, several guards of the Zhang family rushed out toward the place where Sun Shu had disappeared. Chen Fei held a money bag in his hand as he leisurely walked out of the Zhang Family Estate.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Zhang family was a respectable family. Chen Fei was able to exchange twenty taels of silver for a piece of information about Sun Shu.
Chen Fei originally wanted to look for Zhang Sinan to ask about the pill formula of the Light Spirit Pill, but it was already late. If he went to look for Zhang Sinan at this time, he would probably be beaten and thrown out.
Chen Fei walked around a few alleys. When he came out again, he had completely changed his appearance. There was a scar at the corner of his eye that extended all the way to the corner of his mouth. He looked ferocious and sinister.
In the time he took to put on his mask and bamboo hat, Chen Fei had already appeared in the black market.
“This is the medicinal pill for this time.” Arriving at the stall, Chen Fei handed over the medicine bottle.
“The color is getting better and better!”
The stall owner glanced at the pill in the bottle and could not help but smile. Although Chen Fei only came once every few days, he was stable enough. Moreover, the quality of the pills was good, and they sold very well.
“This is your money.”
The stall owner counted the silver and handed it to Chen Fei. He smiled and said, “Our main family is very satisfied with your medicinal pills and wants to further trades with you.”
“Sure. I’m open to that.” Chen Fei nodded and did not refuse.
“Sir, can you refine other pills? Although the Qi Rejuvenation Pill is not bad, it is still a little cheap. If there are even higher-grade pills, we can still discuss the price.”
“Light Spirit Pill?”
“Yes, the Light Spirit Pill is very good. It might even be the Eternal Floating Pill!” The stall owner stared at Chen Fei and said, “If you can provide us with these two pills, I can compromise more on the price. You can even come to us if you run into any trouble!”
Chen Fei’s brows twitched slightly. Chen Fei rarely saw the Eternal Floating Pill in the county, but there were still quite a few Light Spirit Pills. Why was the other party so eager for these two pills?
“I don’t have a pill formula. If you can provide me with the pill formula, I can give it a try.”
“You must be joking. It’s still possible to get the pill formula for the Light Spirit Pill. Although it is not cheap, the price is negotiable. However, no one in Pingyin County would sell the Eternal Floating Pill formula.” The stall owner laughed and shook his head.
