Chapter 113 Chase
Riding their horses, they soon arrived in front of a farm.

It was a rare sight for the two of them to smile. There was no village in front and no shop behind them. Having this village meant they didn't have to sleep in the wilderness at night. They could also have hot meals and take hot showers.

Under a big locust tree at the entrance of the village, an old man was hunched over and looking for something with his head down, muttering to himself. He ignored Zhong Lin and the other man who were riding towards him.

"Old man, is there an inn in this village?" Mei Weixuan leaned over and asked.

The old man also raised his head, squinting his dim eyes and looking at Zhong Lin and the others.

"Where did this young man come from? Did he take the wrong road?"

"We're not in the wrong place, we just missed the time. Is there an inn in this village? My brother and I would like to rest here for one night."

"Inn! Yes, there is one. Go in from here, go three doors forward, then turn right, and you will find the teahouse run by Old Man Liu. He has accommodations there."

After Old Chen finished speaking, he continued to lower his head, constantly using the crutch in his hand to push away the dead leaves on the ground, and muttering to himself.

"Where did it go? Why can't I find it? Some bastard must have stolen it. When I find it, I'll beat him to death."

After saying this, he deliberately knocked the ground with the cane in his hand, looking extremely angry.

"This old man is quite interesting. Let's go, Zhong Lin. I need to take a nice hot bath. My body is sticky and I feel so uncomfortable." Mei Weixuan said with a smile.

Zhong Lin did not move. Instead, he said to the old man, "Old man, did you lose something?"

"Yes, I lost a bead. Young man, can you help me find it?"

The old man looked up and looked at Zhong Lin expectantly.

"The bead was quite big, about the size of a fist, and I dropped it accidentally."

"Then you probably came to the wrong place. Such a big bead can be seen at a glance, and there are only dead leaves here. Maybe it was thrown somewhere else!" Zhong Lin said casually.

"You're right, it's right here. Even if he wasn't left here, someone would have brought him back, don't you think, young man?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhong Lin with a smile on his face.

"Maybe!"

As soon as the last word fell, Zhong Lin swung his right hand forward, and saw a stone flying towards the old man's face at a lightning speed, so fast that it even produced bursts of sonic booms.

This hit the old man right in the face, and could even directly blow his head apart.

But the old man still had a smile on his face, and at the critical moment he reached out and grabbed the stone.

"How cruel! Aren't you afraid of killing someone by mistake?"

Mei Weixuan's face changed drastically, he drew his sword and stood directly beside Zhong Lin.

"You have a problem. You have too many flaws. If you could have killed someone by mistake, I should have kept my eyes. Who are you? Why are you joking with me like this?"

Zhong Lin said with a serious expression.

"Boy, you took my things and asked who I was. You're really brave!"

Things, beads...

Zhong Lin's heart was shocked, and he blurted out: "Black Wind Village, Wu Jinguang."

The person in front of him was naturally Wu Jinguang, the leader of the Black Wind Village. As for the pearl he was talking about, it was the Tianpin Yuanzhu he had obtained from Guibei Mountain before.

"Run." Without any hesitation, Zhong Lin moved and fled directly into the distance.

Mei Weixuan's pupils shrank when he heard the three words "Wu Jinguang". He had heard of the name of the leader of the Black Wind Village and knew that this person was a top-three warrior who was not something the two of them could resist. Although he didn't know how Zhong Lin had offended him and even attracted him to chase him, when he heard Zhong Lin say to leave, he also fled in the opposite direction.

At this time, whoever can escape is the best, at least they can go and get reinforcements. A warrior of the third rank is simply not something that the two of them who have just finished training can resist.

"Want to run?"

Wu Jinguang ignored Mei Weixuan completely. His eyes were fixed on Zhong Lin, and all his murderous intent was concentrated on him, like a beast staring at its prey, brewing the most ferocious attack.

With a pointed finger, an invisible energy burst out from the finger.

After the energy was shot out, the air everywhere became hazy and distorted, and the dead leaves under his feet were swept up like a tornado.

Zhong Lin, who was running wildly, suddenly felt a change of expression. For a moment, he felt an invisible mountain pressing down on his heart, and even his pace slowed down.

"Is this how a top third-grade warrior cultivates his Qi? It's truly terrifying."

Knowing that he could not escape at all, Zhong Lin's face turned grim, the fingers of his left hand trembled, and with a sound of sword ringing, the long sword was unsheathed.

The blood in his body surged, and the long sword instantly turned bright red, with lines appearing on it. He turned his body suddenly, and with the force of splitting Mount Hua, he slashed at the energy that was running behind him.

"cut!"

scoff!

The blood-colored sword light slashed heavily on the energy, and with a roar, the terrifying energy was destroyed, and the long sword in Zhong Lin's hand was shattered.

Zhong Lin himself was also hit by the scattered energy, his skin was torn and he fell to the side.

Wu Jinguang looked at Zhong Lin with interest and said jokingly, "Not bad, not bad, you were able to withstand my attack. It's a pity that this is all you can do. You dare to steal my things? I will skin you alive today."

Just as he was about to take action after saying this, he suddenly felt a burst of fragrance coming towards him, which went straight into his mind. He felt as if he was mesmerized, as if he was immersed in an endless sea of flowers and couldn't extricate himself.

"The incense of the gods."

Wu Jinguang's face changed and he woke up instantly. He started to breathe in his inner energy and all the fragrance he inhaled into his mouth and nose was refined. At this moment, he saw a streak of blood running away with a swish sound, and it disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Zhong Lin's voice was heard in the night wind: "Master Wu, I will remember you. I will repay you in the future."

It turned out that Zhong Lin had secretly released the "Bewitching Incense" when he was fleeing. This is a poisonous elixir that specifically confuses the mind and can make people fall into it unknowingly. Fortunately, Wu Jinguang is a top-three master, otherwise he would probably lose his mind and become an idiot.

"You can't run away."

Wu Jinguang roared angrily and chased after him from a distance. He was like a stream of light, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him as he ran.

Not long after the two disappeared, Mei Weixuan's figure suddenly turned back. Looking at the two small black dots left in the distance, his face was full of anxiety.

"This is troublesome. How could Zhong Lin be targeted by Wu Jinguang, the leader of Black Wind Village? He is a master who has reached the third level of Inner Breath Realm and has condensed his Inner Breath."

Mei Weixuan had witnessed the horror of the top three-grade masters, who were simply inhuman.

Gathering energy into a palm, he could injure people from a distance with incredible means.

A warrior of the third rank is nothing but an ant in front of them. They can break through their blood and qi defense and kill them easily with just a flick of their fingers.

"Go back to Tianyang City for help. I hope Master Yin has returned, otherwise it will be troublesome."
