First, Jiang Ran didn't want to fight in the streets. If he fought here, not only would his skills be exposed to passersby, but if he ran into Emilia and the others, the situation would become even more troublesome.
Secondly, Jiang Ran was concerned about the man's "counter-injury" skill. Before figuring out how this skill worked, he didn't want to act rashly, otherwise the situation would likely develop in the same way as in the "future death scene."
Based on these two concerns, Jiang Ran made a decision: he would lure this man to the outskirts, find a deserted place to fight, and before he could find out the true nature of the other party's skills, Jiang Ran would not hurt him at all.
(Go to the south suburbs. The exit on the south side of town is closest to here.)
After finishing his thoughts, Jiang Ran was planning to use a smoke bomb to escape. At this time, the sound of horse hooves and a familiar neighing came from not far away.
Jiang Ran knew without even looking over that it must be the little motorcycle coming!
(Just in time!)
"Hey! Albert! Your time has come to die!"
In order to cover his own and Xiao Moto's evacuation, Jiang Ran called out Albert's name while bluffing. As he expected, Albert was stunned. He wondered why the boy knew his name.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Ran threw a smoke bomb under his feet, then jumped onto the horse's back and rode away on his motorcycle.
Albert then realized that he had been tricked, and hurriedly ran over to the sound, determined not to let the boy escape from him.
·
Jiang Ran rode his scooter all the way, feeling very happy.
When he was a child, Jiang Ran had read many stories about excellent war horses in books, and now, the little motorcycle has performed at a level that is no less than theirs.
Some people say that an excellent warhorse can communicate with its owner spiritually. Jiang Ran now has such a feeling with the little motorcycle.
Whenever Jiang Ran is in need, the little motorcycle always rushes out at the most appropriate time. What more could one ask for to have a warhorse like this!
After running for a while, Jiang Ran noticed that Albert had slowly caught up with him. However, the speed difference between the two was not that big, so he could just maintain the distance and take Albert out of the city.
In terms of speed alone, Jiang Ran can now run faster than a scooter. However, the advantage of riding a scooter is that it does not consume Jiang Ran's endurance, which will be crucial to his subsequent victory or defeat.

At the same time, on the other side of Sunny Town, Emilia and the reward hunters were rushing to the fire site.
Tonight, terrifying dragon claw marks appeared in the night sky, and black thunder rumbled. Everyone said that the demons had appeared and summoned a huge pillar of fire to fall from the sky.
Many people who witnessed it claimed that they felt a sense of suffocation.
Many people who were close to the scene fell unconscious and have not yet regained consciousness.
Fortunately, after the flame pillar descended, the strange phenomenon of dragon claw marks in the night sky also disappeared.
Such a change made the Flame Pillar seem like God's punishment for Mayor Kilian.
·
As they got closer to the fire, many bounty hunters noticed that the fire was in the mansion of Mayor Gillian.
"Emilia, that mayor is always causing trouble for our quest union. Should we just let him fend for himself?"
"Yes, and since it's the mayor's house, there will definitely be town guards who will go over to help put out the fire. Let's not get involved."
"I also think that with the mayor's difficult personality, he might even blame us when the time comes. It's better not to go!"
The reward hunters complained bitterly, and some simply quit the firefighting team halfway.
Emilia could understand everyone's feelings, so she didn't try to keep those who left.
However, Emilia could not ignore this fire.
"The mayor is indeed annoying, but at least the residents near his home are innocent. Aren't you going to help them?"
Emilia told everyone her thoughts, and she believed that if Branch Head Oleg were present, he would say the same thing.
After hearing Emilia's words, the reward hunters understood her intention, so they stopped complaining and instead quickened their pace.
After a while, everyone rushed to the fire scene and was surprised to find that the fire was only limited to the mayor's huge mansion.
Because the mayor's house was surrounded by thick walls, the surrounding residents were not hurt at all. Instead, they were watching the fire in the mayor's house with great interest.
Seeing this, the reward hunters laughed heartily, then dispersed on the spot and went home.
Emilia could no longer stop everyone. Fortunately, the town guards had arrived at the scene to put out the fire, but... under the power of the flame column that melted everything, it no longer made any difference whether the mayor's family was rescued or not.
Emilia stood quietly by and watched for a while, feeling emotional in her heart that even the pinnacle of power in Sunny Town was no different from firewood in the face of natural disasters.
·
After a tiring day, Emilia chose to go straight home.
On the way, she bought some whole grains such as black bread. In addition to having them for her own dinner, she also bought some more and planned to deliver them to the sub-people in the slums the next morning.
——(Alas… Today is another day I haven’t seen Benning…)
——(Wow… I really want to hug Banning and breathe in some air to regain my energy…)
Perhaps because it was a familiar experience, Emilia no longer blushed when she thought about it, but instead felt eager to try it.
It’s a pity that she has been too busy with the mission union’s affairs recently and cannot spare the time.
After I finish these two busy days at the end of the month, I must go find Banning and give him a good hug - Emilia thought so.
·
Half an hour later, Emilia arrived at the door of her house.
Exhausted, she opened the door as usual and went in, then locked the door behind her.
Emilia now just wanted to eat something to fill her stomach, and then quickly go wash up and go to bed.
In such a tired state, Emilia did not notice that two sneaky figures were approaching quietly outside her window.

6.6 - Spider Weaving a Web
Under the night sky, in Sunny Town.
Jiang Ran rode his warhorse in front, and Albert chased behind him on foot.
As the running time got longer and longer, the physical advantage of War Horse Motorcycle gradually became apparent, forcing Albert, who had been shortening the distance, to barely maintain the distance.
Jiang Ran looked at Albert's endurance value decreasing continuously (2563-236/2964) with great comfort, and felt very satisfied.
If this continues, Albert might be killed by the little motorcycle without him having to make a move.
Not long after, Jiang Ran and his friends arrived at the south exit of Sunny Town. As long as they ran out from here, they would reach the open terrain of the southern suburbs.
By then, the small motorcycle will be like a fish in water and run more easily.
However, after being walked like a dog for so long, Albert had seen through the boy's intentions.
Not long after entering the southern suburbs, Albert took advantage of a height difference to slow down the boy and his horse, and suddenly slashed with a sword across the air.
A purple-black sword energy flew out from the blade, with a range of about five or six meters, and attacked the young man and the warhorse at an incredible speed!
Although Jiang Ran saw the red light warning three seconds in advance, the sword energy was too wide and he had no time to avoid it with the emergency turning ability of the small motorcycle.
In the blink of an eye, the little motorcycle, knowing it could not avoid the attack, suddenly stopped and threw Jiang Ran out, then used its own body to withstand the sword energy...!
The purple-black sword energy dissipated the moment it hit the little motorcycle. At the same time, the little motorcycle suddenly fell to the ground and stopped moving.
"Little motorcycle!!"
Jiang Ran rushed over and immediately lay down to check the little motorcycle's injuries, but strangely, the little motorcycle was not injured, not even a scratch. Jiang Ran then felt the carotid artery in the little motorcycle's neck and found that it had just fainted.
(What happened? It seemed like it caused harm but it didn't?)
Jiang Ran looked at Little Motorcycle's status information and noticed a change. Just after being hit by the purple-black sword energy, Little Motorcycle's 49 points of stamina had suddenly been reduced to zero.
It turns out that Albert's sword energy slash is a cursed sword that specifically reduces the target's stamina!
(Cursed Swordsman... So that's what's going on...)
·
Since Xiao Moto was fine, all Jiang Ran had to do was to immediately divert the enemy's attention away from Xiao Moto.
Before Albert caught up, Jiang Ran "abandoned" the scooter and ran away quickly.
Afterwards, as Jiang Ran wished, Albert ignored the little motorcycle and chased after him directly.
With the help of moonlight, Jiang Ran found the nearest forest and sneaked in.
As a "Shadow Killer", Jiang Ran naturally has to fight in places with many shadows.
·
Albert, who was chasing closely, noticed that the boy's running speed slowed down.
——(It seems he wants to fight in this forest... Is it to limit my sword energy? Haha, naive.)
Albert followed into the woods fearlessly. He didn't think that the boy would be able to set a trap in advance under such sudden circumstances.
After a moment, the boy stopped running and turned around to face Albert who was chasing him.
Albert was not in a hurry to attack, but first observed the surrounding terrain.
The woodland was flat, with scattered trees, none of which were very old, and their trunks were very thin, making it impossible to hide. Albert's only concern was not to let the trees affect his movements while swinging his sword.
——(Then please have some fun with me!)
"Why don't you run away, you untouchable?" Albert said as he quietly closed the distance between the two sides.
"Because this is your grave, idiot."
The boy changed his previous passive and avoidant attitude and became very aggressive in his language.
"Haha, you can brag all you want, but when I slowly torture you to death, I hope you can still maintain this..."
——(Bad luck sword energy!)
The moment he stepped into the attack range, Albert immediately stopped talking and swung out a sword. The range of his sword energy was extremely wide and ordinary people could not avoid it at all.
However, the boy's reaction was still quick. He jumped into the air, stepped on the tree trunk and performed a double jump, easily avoiding the sweeping sword energy.
—(It’s a big no-no for a wingless human to take flight, idiot.)
Albert immediately swung his sword and rushed forward. In his eyes, the boy was already a pile of corpses falling from the sky.
But what Albert didn't expect was that the boy actually turned over in the air, bent the bow and pulled the string, shooting two arrows at Albert!
——(Hmph, this crosshair isn't good.)
Albert dodged the two arrows easily, but this also restricted his steps and he missed the opportunity to catch the young man's weakness when he fell to the ground.
But it’s not a big problem. If you miss the opportunity, you can just create another one yourself.
Just at this moment, Albert's "Curse Sword Qi" had cooled down. He glanced at the trees around the boy, and then swung out another sword energy. This time, his purpose was to use the trees to restrict the boy's movement. After swinging the sword energy, he also rushed towards the boy!
Since this young man is so good at dodging, he will use close combat to leave him nowhere to hide!
But something Albert didn't expect happened again. The boy jumped onto the treetops more than three meters high, and then jumped to the side, easily avoiding Albert's attack.
The tree that Albert originally intended to use to restrain the boy's movements instead became his springboard.
——(I see. I didn't expect he still had some hidden abilities...)
——(This jumping ability is at least at the mid-to-late stage of the second stage.)
Seeing the boy's amazing performance, Albert wanted to fight with all his strength... However, his years of combat experience made him refuse to do so.
"Unless absolutely necessary, you must always have a trump card in hand during a battle," this is Albert's principle.
Just as Albert was hesitating, the boy spoke to Albert.
"Albert, aren't you curious why I know your name?"
Albert felt really strange after hearing this, and he had actually wanted to ask this question just now.
However, Albert's rich combat experience gave him a vague intuition that he should not follow this conversation, otherwise he would probably fall into the trap set by this young man.
"Haha, I don't find it strange."
After saying that, Albert changed the way he held the sword, ready to use 20% more strength to fight the boy, but at this time, the boy said something that Albert could not ignore.
"Are you so afraid of talking to me? Are you afraid of losing to me? Humph, let me tell you frankly, there's really no way you can beat me, because we'll just die together."
——(We'll just die together...?)
