Chapter 50 Chasing the Murderer
The figure stretched out its arms, its posture graceful, truly like a white crane soaring through the sky.
It fell extremely fast, landing with perfect precision on Ba Qing's location!
Ba Qing stopped speaking abruptly and looked up in astonishment.
next second.
A foot wearing a black leather shoe rapidly magnified in his pupils.
"Bang!"
It landed squarely on Ba Qing's fair face.
"ah--!"
Screams and the cracking sound of teeth breaking rang out simultaneously.
Ba Qing was kicked so hard that he flew through the air from his horse, blood gushing from his mouth along with broken teeth. He crashed heavily onto the bluestone pavement three or four steps away like a tattered sack, curled up in pain, groaning, his face covered in blood.
The falling figure used the force of the kick to perform a light somersault in the air and land steadily on the back of the chestnut horse that had lost its master!
"drive!"
A figure pulled the reins, and squeezed the horse's belly with both legs.
The chestnut horse neighed loudly, unleashed its four hooves, and galloped off like a red lightning bolt towards the end of the street!
The horse's hooves struck the stone slabs, making a crisp, rapid "clattering" sound, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
All of this happened too fast; from the moment the figure appeared to the moment it seized the horse and drove away, only a few breaths had passed.
The streets were deathly silent.
The only sounds were Ba Qing's painful groans on the ground and the panicked cries of two guards rushing over to help him up.
The stall owner, who had been beaten, looked at Ba Qing's miserable state and then at the direction of the horses that had galloped away. A look of relief flashed across his face. He quickly bent down to pick up his goods that were scattered all over the ground.
On the roadside, someone exclaimed in a low voice, "It's...it's Huang Shujian!"
"Young Master Huang? He... how did he come down from the sky?"
"He even kicked Ba Qing..."
A buzz of discussion arose.
The female student who stepped forward was completely stunned.
The girl with the oval face next to her looked at Huang Shujian's back and said to the girl beside her:
"Xiaoyu, is he... the same Huang Shujian, the biggest playboy in Goose City you mentioned on the way?"
……
The chestnut horse galloped wildly on the bluestone street, its horseshoes striking the pavement with a dense, drum-like sound.
Pedestrians and vendors screamed and scattered to the sides. Huang Shujian lay on his horse, his eyes fixed on the leaping figure on the rooftop ahead, oblivious to the chaos around him.
The wind whistled past my ears, and the street scene rushed past.
The speed of a horse is ultimately far greater than that of a human leaping across a rooftop.
The distance is gradually closing.
One man and one horse, one fleeing and one chasing, quickly traversed the streets of Goose City and approached the city wall.
The figure actually leaped onto the city wall and climbed over it.
"drive!"
Huang Shujian spurred his horse and charged straight for the city gate.
The city gates were wide open.
The sound of horses' hooves thundered out of Goose City and onto the official road outside the city.
The figure ahead also leaped down from the base of the city wall, landing on the official road, and fled into the mountains and forests to the northeast without looking back.
The official road passes through the Biqing River.
It was not the flood season, and the river water was clear, only reaching the calves.
Without hesitation, the figure waded across the water, splashing water as it rushed to the other side and disappeared into a thicket of mixed trees.
Huang Shujian rode his horse across the river, chased to the edge of the woods, and quickly drew his Mauser pistol from his waist!
Aim!
The figure ahead was about to disappear into the forest.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Huang Shujian pulled the trigger and fired three shots in quick succession!
The gunshots sounded particularly jarring in the quiet countryside.
The bullet whistled past, striking the tree trunk and sending splinters flying.
The killer seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. The instant the gun went off, he lunged to the side and forward, his movements so fast that they almost left a blur!
Two bullets whizzed past the hem of his clothes!
However, the third bullet still caught up with him!
"puff!"
A soft but clear sound of flesh being pierced.
A small burst of blood erupted from the outside of the attacker's right calf.
But to Huang Shujian’s surprise, the bloodstains were very small and the amount of blood that splattered was extremely small.
The assailant merely staggered, but didn't fall down, and his speed didn't even decrease much.
What incredibly strong muscles!
This bullet was probably caught in the muscle and didn't hit the bone.
The assailant grunted, but did not stop at all. Instead, using the momentum of his forward lunge, he suddenly leaped onto the thick branch of a crooked tree, and with a swing like a monkey, quickly disappeared into the forest.
Without the slightest hesitation, Huang Shujian picked up his gun and strode into the woods.
As soon as we entered the woods, the light dimmed, and the dense foliage blocked out most of the sky.
Huang Shujian's heart sank.
He discovered that the killer was faster in the woods than on the roof!
It felt like being a fish back in the water, or the wind blowing through the forest.
His use of the terrain and the trees was beyond comprehension.
Previously in the city, the uniform structure of the rooftops actually limited his ability to use his agility.
The figure flashed through the trees a few times, about to disappear completely from sight.
We absolutely cannot let him get away like this!
Huang Shujian's eyes sharpened, and he put the Mauser pistol back into its holster.
He looked around, casually broke off a straight and sturdy branch about the thickness of an arm, removed the forks, and held it in his hand.
Use a branch instead of a knife.
The mental cultivation technique of "Heavenly Tiger Divine Blade" was activated instantly!
Inside his chest, the mountain king's heart pounded violently, and a torrent of scorching tiger blood surged forth, coursing through his limbs and bones!
【Pure Yang】!
His entire demeanor suddenly changed; he was no longer human, but like a fierce, striped tiger poised to pounce, eyeing its prey fleeing through the forest!
"drink!"
Huang Shujian let out a low roar and exerted force with his feet.
The agile movements of the White Crane Technique and the explosive power of the Heavenly Tiger Divine Blade were forcibly combined at this moment!
Plus, it's incredibly detailed!
He no longer chased along the ground, but instead, like a real tiger emerging from the mountains, leaped and bounded between thick tree trunks, gnarled roots, and protruding rocks!
Each step unleashed astonishing power, propelling his body forward like a cannonball!
Branches and thorns were swept away by the protective energy he possessed.
Speed increases instantly.
With a few leaps and bounds, he closed the distance like a ghost, catching up to the murderer at less than three zhang behind.
"Stay here!"
Huang Shujian's words thundered like spring thunder, followed by a furious shout.
He didn't use any fancy moves.
He poured all the pent-up energy, killing intent, and sword aura within his body into the ordinary tree branch in his hand!
Xuanhu Sky-Piercing Slash!
All energy and spirit are concentrated in one point.
The tree branch in his hand seemed to transform into an invisible blade that could cut through everything.
One slash and it's gone!
There was no dazzling blade light, but an invisible, domineering blade intent suddenly erupted!
The surrounding air seemed to have been sucked out and crushed.
The low shrubs and saplings along the path were swept away as if by an invisible giant blade, and were all broken and felled.
A deep, majestic tiger's roar, seemingly originating from ancient times, resounded through the forest!
The branch, imbued with immense power and accompanied by a gust of wind that seemed to tear everything apart, slashed viciously down towards the assailant's back.
It looked like they were about to cut him in two.
