"Boom!"

Mud splattered everywhere.

When two narrow roads meet, the brave one wins.

Although the man holding the pale flame in his hand roared loudly, he hesitated at the last moment and rolled to the side to avoid the large wheels of the oncoming car, falling heavily into the muddy water.

No one knew better than him the power of the heavy motorcycle he was riding. If he were hit head-on, it would be the anniversary of his death next year.

"Target spotted, target spotted..."

Wu Yan quickly rolled over, clutching the communicator, ready to report the location at the first opportunity. But then, two glaring beams of light intersected and shone, occupying his entire field of vision.

The madman... after stealing the car, he didn't escape, but turned the car around and came back.

Is he crazy?!

"Buzz..."

The bright light rendered the entire field white. The young man driving the heavy motorcycle, with a fire burning on his forehead brighter than the headlights, calmly stared at the man, even though the man's vision was completely defeated and he couldn't see the young man's face.

It was like a king looking down on his subjects...

An emperor looking down on the common people.

In an instant, the fiery invasion began.

It was not a level of power that could be resisted - under the influence of Gu Shen's spiritual immersion, the transcendent natural system user from the third level of the Deep Sea had no power to fight back, not even for a second. He lost consciousness directly.

...

...

The heavy motorcycle raced quickly along the riverside road.

The young man leaned forward, the wind howling in his ears, and the real-time map in his glasses was still updating. All the red dots were left behind by him, except for one large cross, which carried a sense of impending death.

Chen Wu was chasing after him.

This was really absurd... from before until now, Chen Wu hadn't even seen his face, but what was even more ridiculous was that this man was like a bone maggot, biting onto him tightly.

"It is now November 25th, 10:14 pm... there is still one hour and forty-two minutes."

Chu Ling sighed softly.

"Why are you sighing?" Gu Shen focused on driving. With the blessing of the fire, the turbo engine of the heavy motorcycle maintained full speed, reaching a speed of four hundred kilometers per hour.

"Although the distance hasn't been shortened... looking at this trend, it will be very difficult for you to shake off Chen Wu." Chu Ling was somewhat worried, saying, "Are you planning to circle around the city? You won't be able to shake him off even in ten thousand years."

"You said before, use the fastest vehicle to escape to the safest place."

Gu Shen's expression was calm. "I'm going to that safe place now."

In fact, there were not many places in the city that could be called safe, especially with the suspicion of breaking into the South Bay Building. If caught by Chen Wu, he would most likely be taken care of in no time.

Whether it was Madam or Cui Zhongcheng, they were all people living in the light of the city.

As for Chen Wu, a top-notch thug who lived in the night, he was actually no different from a crow... in many cases, they could ignore the rules, just like when Song Ci had punched Chen San's nephew, who was now lying in a critical care bed and unable to take care of himself.

If caught by Chen Wu, his identity would be useless.

In the situation where he couldn't shake off Chen Wu... the only place that could be called "safe" was just one.

Chu Ling was somewhat puzzled.

So there was a brief silence on the other end of the earpiece.

"During the days when you were disconnected, I made a friend who is very capable." Gu Shen said in a low voice, "Sincerely, Song Ci."

There was a pause of a few seconds, probably while Chu Ling was searching for information.

"The crow... is your friend." Chu Ling's voice sounded surprised.

"Yes."

Gu Shen looked up, gazing at the group of crows that had risen from the distant river in the night fog.

The quiet night became noisy, and Gu Shen's expression became somewhat emotional.

"He should be fighting on the riverbank right now, but those guys are not the opponents he wants to find."

"I wonder if the people I bring later... will be a scare or a surprise?"

Gu Shen chuckled self-deprecatingly, murmuring, "Whether the riverbank is safe tonight will depend on whether the crow's fists are strong, or if Chen Wu's fists are strong."

...

...

The sky was shrouded, almost spanning half of the great river.

The river water surged and exploded, countless water droplets condensed into pearls within the sky, and outside the sky, they were scattered on the cold river, turning into large patches of pale mist.

At this moment, there was a strange sight on the river.

If one did not have transcendent abilities and could not perceive anomalies with their mental strength, they would not have the chance to see it.

Dozens of motorcycles followed one after another, driving through the surging river tide. The tires collided with the river water, and within the sky domain, the water droplets seemed to have become an extremely solid substance. Under the high-temperature burning, the splashed water vapor was partly vaporized into mist, and the other part defied convention by condensing into ice, carrying the fleet forward.

The river tide surged.

The ice crystals shattered.The man at the forefront, wielding a blade, held it in a peculiar manner. His breath was contained, shoulders drawn inward like a woman's, delicate in form. He moved with quick, short steps, yet his speed was incredibly fast, the headlights ahead barely catching a glimpse of his garment's edge.

Even so, he couldn't catch up to the figure at the very front, Jiang Chao, who seemed on the verge of breaking free from the sky's canopy.

Suddenly, Wu Yong halted.

He furrowed his brows.

Because the man who might escape the sky's reach at any moment had stopped running.

The river undulated, and there stood a man atop the great river, his feet skimming the surface like a solitary skiff. Barehanded and clad in a thin, light shirt, he stood tall amidst the mist, as if he were a towering mountain.

"Not running anymore?"

Wu Yong let out a cold laugh.

A laugh echoed back from the distant river.

"I'm not fleeing; I'm waiting for someone."

Crow spoke softly, his voice piercing through the river fog, lingering, "Directly downstream along the riverbank is Nanwan."

"Nanwan..."

Wu Yong frowned; this was precisely where their journey had begun.

"I have a friend who should be around Nanwan at this time," Crow said indifferently. "If he's in trouble... he'll likely come to me. It's an easy place to find."

"Do you really have the luxury to worry about someone else's troubles?" Wu Yong slowly clenched the hilt of his knife.

"You don't understand. His troubles... are my troubles," Crow chuckled, shaking his head. He looked up at the azure sky canopy and sighed, "Another reason for choosing this place... it's sparsely populated. When the fight breaks out, there's no need to worry about prying eyes."

Wu Yong's eyelids twitched; he hadn't quite grasped the situation—

In the next moment!

Crow raised a hand towards the luminescent sky canopy enveloping him.

"Boom—"

With a single punch!

Just one punch!

The arc of the azure sky canopy bent and bulged from the impact of that punch, nearly shattering into pieces!

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".
