C60

Within the forest, Ling Yan was rapidly running. The blood vitality of his body had reached the limit. From afar, all he could see was a series of blurry shadows moving about.

While quickly moving, Ling Yan nimbly avoided the big trees blocking his way. His expression was cold and there were a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead.

Run!

When the guard had used the power of his true essence to shoot the arrow, Ling Yan had discovered him!

In an instant, Ling Yan recognized the guard. He was one of the eight bodyguards that Ouyang Chao had brought with him to the Symbol Master Guild. They were powerful and, more importantly, all of them possessed a Human Stage Mid Rank martial skill!

In terms of cultivation, he had already surpassed Ling Yan by a huge margin, and even possessed a Human Stage Mid Rank Martial Skill. Ling Yan was definitely not his match!

The "Berserk Golden Body Art" gave Ling Yan the ability to fight those who had crossed levels, but it was not strong enough to directly fight those who had crossed levels!

Run!

As long as he could temporarily avoid the attack of this guard, then when he entered the Crimson Nimbus Martial University and became the elder's disciple, Ouyang Chao probably wouldn't dare to deal with him so blatantly.

Ling Yan's escaping direction was not towards the downtown area of the southern city, because the direction that the guard had stood at that time was the road to the downtown area. Naturally, Ling Yan would not foolishly run over to his death.

Taking advantage of the guard's momentary daze, Ling Yan rapidly headed in the opposite direction. This time, the distance between him and the bodyguard had widened by a lot.

However, Ling Yan did not believe that he would be able to shake off a Third Stage Mortal Core warrior in such a short period of time.

He turned his head to find that, indeed, a few hundred meters behind him, a figure was rapidly approaching him. Even though he was running at full speed, the distance between the two of them was still shrinking by a meter per second.

If not for the fact that he came here often to cultivate and was very familiar with the terrain, turning left and right would have probably been caught by the guard long ago.

However, with the remaining few hundred meters, it was estimated that in less than the time it took to make a cup of tea, he would have to face a martial artist at the Third Stage of the Mortal Body Refinement Realm in close range.

What to do!

Ling Yan was burning with anxiety. He hadn't even entered Crimson Nimbus Martial School, hadn't made a name for himself, and hadn't even seen his father. How could he just die like that?

At the same time, his gaze shifted to both sides as he thought of a countermeasure. Continuing like this was not his way of exhausting his stamina before the fight even started, and surrender was not his style.

To be honest, he didn't want to die yet. At the very least, he couldn't die in such a miserable way!

Suddenly, Ling Yan's eyes lit up as he saw a lake not too far away from him. His eyes lit up as he realized that there were traces of him running on the ground and it would be difficult for him to avoid being chased by the guards. However, in the water, he was very confident that he could hide himself.

Since he was young, he had interacted with river and mud and learned a set of extraordinary underwater abilities. In addition, now that he had become a body refiner, his heart and lungs had been greatly improved. Just being able to hold his breath in water was enough to increase from several minutes to a dozen minutes!

This way, as long as he carefully moved underwater, he might be able to escape the pursuit of the guards.

However, Ling Yan had also made up his mind for the worst. If the guards found this place and went into the water to chase him, he would have no choice but to accept the challenge!

Without hesitation, Ling Yan scurried to the lakeside. With a "plop", he jumped into the water, causing a splash the height of a man. Soon after, the ripples on the surface of the lake gradually disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
