From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"Stop him!"

The three people who were engaged in a chaotic battle were startled when they saw Chen Shi suddenly make a move.

With a startled cry, he didn't care about anything else and rushed over to intercept her.

"Isn't it by the pine tree!"

Lei Sanshan stared wide-eyed, looking puzzled, but he didn't have time to think about it and immediately rushed towards Chen Shi as well.

As sixth-grade minor masters, the three of them were still above Chen Shi in cultivation, but unfortunately, none of their divine bodies were in terms of speed.

Most importantly, they didn't take Chen Shi, a mere seventh-rank official, seriously. They never expected that Chen Shi would risk everything and forcibly take the token right in front of them.

Of course, the chaos among the three of them also meant that they couldn't spare the attention to pay attention to Chen Shi for a while.

They were already some distance apart, and by the time they reacted, Chen Shi had already landed in the middle of the stream, reached out and pulled out a small, palm-sized, and extremely intricate-looking iron box from under the white stone!

Looking up again, the three men were already rushing towards him. Chen Shi, with a serious expression, leaped across the stream to the other side.

The moment his feet touched the ground, he shot off like an arrow, heading straight into the depths of the forest.

"Where are you going!"

The three men gritted their teeth, shouted loudly, immediately changed direction, leaped across the stream, and chased after Chen Shi.

Although he wasn't a god-like body in terms of speed, as a sixth-rank minor grandmaster, how could he not have movement techniques and martial arts? So his speed was naturally not slow either.

Catching up with a seventh-rank martial artist shouldn't be a problem.

But after a moment, the three of them became serious. Not only had they failed to catch up, they had fallen even further behind than before.

Their speed was actually slower than Chen Shi's!

If things continue like this, Chen Shi will eventually leave them behind.

"What kind of movement technique is that?!"

Looking ahead, Chen Shi darted and leaped through the mountains and forests, prompting Lei Sanshan to ask a question.

"It should be the 'Transcending the Void' technique, a superior-grade movement technique that unleashes explosive energy."

Wang Qinghe answered, his face growing increasingly gloomy.

As soon as the third round of assessment began, he tried to eliminate Chen Shi, firstly to reduce some variables, and secondly as punishment for Chen Shi's disobedience. However, to his surprise, Chen Shi escaped.

Surprised by Chen Shi's strange movement technique, Wang Qing recalled the martial arts techniques in the library and then remembered this movement technique.

"A superior movement technique?"

Not only Lei Sanshan, but Jia Xingzhou also frowned, which was quite unusual.

He nodded secretly again, which explained it.

Although it is not entirely known for its speed, its ability to soar into the air and stand on thin air is indeed well-suited to the terrain of the mountains and forests.

"No matter what, we can't let him escape!"

Wang Qinghe gave another low shout, his voice chilling.

Jia Xingzhou and Lei Sanshan sneered. Was there even a need to say it?

If Chen Shi escapes, he can find a place to hide, making it difficult to find him again. If he manages to hide until dawn, then he'll have won.

It's incredibly frustrating that the three of them, all sixth-rank officials, lost to a single seventh-rank official.

Most importantly, this concerns the position of general manager.

"Separately pursue and intercept!"

After a moment's hesitation, Jia Xingzhou said in a deep voice.

Judging from the current situation, we definitely can't catch up this way!

The only way is to use our numerical advantage to encircle and intercept them.

Mu Qinghe and Lei Sanshan frowned, but finally nodded.

Once they separate, it's uncertain who will be able to stop Chen Shi. In their view, whoever catches up with Chen Shi will easily defeat a mere seventh-rank official.

In other words, each of them has only one-third of the chance to obtain the token.

Once one of the three has taken the token, it will be difficult for the others to take it back.

No one can be sure they've hit that one-third mark.

But if things continue like this, Chen Shi will escape sooner or later, and there may not be a single chance left.

Weighing the pros and cons, we have no choice but to grit our teeth and take the gamble!

"Keep your distance, don't let him find an opening!"

Wang Qing said something and then ran to the left.

At the same time, Lei Sanshan ran to the right, and the two of them flanked him from the left and right.

Only Jia Xingzhou remained to continue the pursuit.

This forest isn't very large, and according to the rules, one cannot leave this area, meaning Chen Shi's escape route is limited.

The three of them were like a fishing net spread out. Even if they couldn't catch up with Chen Shi for a while, as long as they kept driving him into a corner, that would be enough!

"...We broke up!"

While desperately running forward, Chen Shi kept an eye on what was happening behind him. Suddenly, he saw Wang Qinghe and Lei Sanshan split up on the left and right, and his brows furrowed instantly.

Encirclement and blockade, this is troublesome.

Chen Shi's plan was simple: find the token first, then hide until dawn.

Unfortunately, although he did get the token first, the others followed closely behind, giving him no chance to hide.

In fact, Chen Shi had already changed his plan when he tried to seize the token.

But this plan is extremely risky, and its success or failure depends on time.

Chen Shi looked up at the moon, his expression serious.

Delay as much as possible, escape as soon as possible.

Glancing at Jia Xingzhou behind him, Chen Shi continued his escape. Due to the limited area, Chen Shi had to constantly adjust his direction, which inevitably led him closer to Wang Qinghe or Lei Sanshan on either side.

Based on Chen Shi's movements, the three of them continued to adjust their tactics, gradually pushing Chen Shi towards the edge of the area.

The moon slowly moved across the night sky, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed, and Jia Xingzhou was no longer visible behind them.

But Chen Shi knew that Jia Xingzhou and his group were right behind him, and they were constantly driving him away.

If this mountain forest is a pond, and Chen Shi is a fish in it, then Jia Xingzhou and his group are gradually shrinking Chen Shi's area of ​​activity.

Once he's cornered, the three of them can swarm him and grab him!

Of course, Chen Shi could also change direction and rush out through the gap between the three.

But the chances are slim, and they are more likely to be sandwiched by two opponents.

After all, Jia Xingzhou and his group were not far away and had been on guard against Chen Shi's move.

"I can't take it anymore!"

Chen Shi originally wanted to stall for more time, but his room for maneuver was getting smaller and smaller. If he continued to escape, he would become a sitting duck.

Chen Shi's face darkened, and he suddenly ran to the right.

A moment later, a figure came into view; it was Lei Sanshan.

Lei Sanshan also saw Chen Shi and immediately ran towards him.

Chen Shi frowned, gritted his teeth, and charged forward. If he could get through, all the better; if not, he'd have no choice but to hand over the item.

Although it was somewhat risky, there was no other way at the moment.

With his speed at its maximum, Chen Shi simultaneously channeled his blood and qi to cover his entire body, preparing for a desperate fight.

"……Um?!"

But to Chen Shi's utter surprise, Lei Sanshan suddenly stepped aside and let him pass.

Of course, Lei Sanshan couldn't let Chen Shi go so easily, and he followed closely behind, but he was alone and didn't give Jia Xingzhou or Wang Qing any signals.

"I see."

Looking at Lei Sanshan chasing after him, Chen Shi smiled slightly.
