Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Lin Le's Heart Aches

Jiang Yuan was truly angry.

Is this never-ending?

Three times in a row, and they don't even kill me. What the hell do they want?!

Angry as he was.

Jiang Yuan would never risk gambling on whether these mysterious people dared to kill him.

He might dare to gamble, but he wouldn't gamble with Chi Zhongyue's life!

So without any hesitation.

Not even having time to say anything to Chi Zhongyue.

Amid her 'Eh? Eh?' sounds, he gave her another princess carry and rushed straight into the cornfield ahead!

Although there were no corn cobs yet in this season's cornfield, the corn stalks themselves had grown tall enough to hide people.

'Screech——'

A braking sound came from behind. By this time, Chi Zhongyue finally understood what was happening, and her face immediately turned dark.

She had thought they were safe, but unexpectedly, it happened again!

"Jiang Yuan, you remember what you promised me. Put me down..."

Before she could finish speaking.

Jiang Yuan directly interrupted: "Shut up, don't talk, don't disturb me!"

"Also, take the phone out of my pocket and request backup!"

Chi Zhongyue hurriedly did as she was told. Her small hand fumbled around Jiang Yuan's pants, but due to the shaking from running and the fact that she was being carried in a princess hold, she could only grope blindly.

As she groped, Jiang Yuan's running body suddenly trembled, and he said with an unnatural expression: "Y-you don't... that's not a phone!"

Chi Zhongyue had already realized what she was grabbing the moment she touched it. She quickly moved her hand away as if electrocuted.

Her cheeks were red as if they were about to bleed. She pursed her lips and didn't respond, but at least she managed to take out the phone.

Ignoring her embarrassment, she quickly unlocked it by scanning Jiang Yuan's face and hurriedly called Wang Rou for help.

Jiang Yuan kept his head down and ran. Without survival points as his backup, he couldn't fight the enemies behind him at all.

Behind them.

The sound of pursuing footsteps didn't fade away; they kept closely following.

Chi Zhongyue was held in Jiang Yuan's arms, looking back, her face gradually becoming: "There are three people in total, one Early First Rank, two Early Second Rank!"

Jiang Yuan didn't reply. Now he was extremely grateful that he hadn't blindly pursued a higher realm.

Instead, he had allocated a considerable number of survival points to his three attributes.

And he hadn't neglected speed either.

Most fortunately...

The Early First Rank behind them was far slower than the previous Hunter.

Otherwise, they would have been caught by now.

With the enhancement of redemption power and a full 30 points in speed, even carrying someone in his arms, Jiang Yuan was actually able to maintain a balanced distance from the pursuing fanatics.

Fighting? He didn't even consider it.

Now his only thought was to run, run like crazy, until Wang Rou, Wang Dama, and the others came to support!

The originally neat cornfield was now crisscrossed with paths.

And Jiang Yuan wasn't running in a straight line.

To confuse them, he kept running in a zigzag pattern.

Running left for a while, then right for a while.

Due to their limited visibility, even though they were following his running tracks, it was impossible for them to surround him or take shortcuts to catch up.

Anyway, he kept circling around in this large cornfield, like walking a dog.

And the more they ran in the cornfield, the more tracks there were, greatly increasing the difficulty of tracking his trail.

Five minutes passed...

Ten minutes passed...

Twenty minutes passed...

The more Jiang Yuan ran, the more grateful he was that he had never skipped his physical long-distance running training these days.

Finally!

When 27 minutes had passed!

'Screech screech——'

Two consecutive harsh braking sounds. Before the cars had even fully stopped, several dark figures opened the doors and rushed out holding weapons.

"Over there! Zheng Feng, take Lin Le to intercept the Early Second Rank on the right!"

"Zhong You, go with Wang Rou to intercept the Early Second Rank on the left!"

"Xi Cheng, go support them both!"

Wang Dama held a nine-ringed saber, running towards the Early First Rank fanatic while giving orders.

"Yes!"

Several figures charged towards their targets.

In the cornfield.

Jiang Yuan was gasping for breath. Chi Zhongyue suddenly exclaimed in joy: "Team Leader Wang and the others are here!"

Jiang Yuan's hanging heart immediately fell to the ground. Taking advantage of this moment, he looked back and saw that the three fanatics didn't run away after discovering Wang Dama and the others; they were still chasing the two of them. He immediately became angry.

"Can you still fight? If you can, let's turn around and deal with these bastards!"

Jiang Yuan asked.

After being chased for no reason three times today, Chi Zhongyue had long been suppressing a ball of anger in her heart.

She already wanted to tear these fanatics into pieces. Upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes filled with violent killing intent as she coldly said: "Put me down!"

Jiang Yuan immediately put her down. He also drew his straight knife, turned around, and stared coldly at the three people charging towards them.

Wang Dama and the others were right behind them.

Just a brief exchange of blows wouldn't be life-threatening.

Mainly, they were also afraid that these three would run away.

"Kill!!!"

The two of them charged towards their targets——

The two Early Second Rank fanatics.

As for the Early First Rank fanatic, they would be fools to confront him directly. One mistake could cost them their lives even with Chi Zhongyue there.

Jiang Yuan was somewhat excited. Perhaps there was a warrior gene in his bones. Every time he fought with someone, he would become very excited.

It just so happened that he had no survival points left, and here someone was delivering themselves to him!

Also... during his previous battle with that Early First Rank Hunter, he felt that his combat experience had become richer. Now was the perfect time to test his skills against an Early Second Rank opponent!

Wait!

When Jiang Yuan thought of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind, thinking of a possibility that made his breathing slightly stagnant.

Testing his skills? Practicing?

First Xiong Yong delivered himself as cannon fodder, then an Early First Rank came for practice.

Could all of this...

Could it really be, as he suspected, all coming from that mysterious mastermind?

Then what were these three people here for?

To continue his practice, or to deliver themselves as cannon fodder?

Jiang Yuan's face turned grim. He didn't know, but it didn't matter. He could just test it!

"Leave this person to me! Don't interfere!"

Shouting these words, Jiang Yuan wielded his straight knife and charged forward.

Both sides.

Soon engaged in battle.

But what happened next made Jiang Yuan have some doubts about his own speculation.

In the fight, the opponent was clearly the type who had lost their mind. Every move was aimed directly at his vital points, every move wanted his life.

Could it be... that I guessed wrong?

Jiang Yuan thought while parrying.

The Early Second Rank fanatic in front of him was just a regular fanatic.

Not even the trained kind.

Just like the Breakers of Illusions.

Not all Breakers of Illusions have professions. Some who are lazy or cowardly, although they are Breakers of Illusions, basically don't interact with the Redemption Organization and just spend their days mingling among believers.

Some of these Breakers of Illusions have high realms, but their combat effectiveness isn't necessarily high.

Not all fanatics and Breakers of Illusions are professionals.

Since he couldn't see anything wrong with this person, Jiang Yuan.

The consumption from his previous battle with the Hunter was from redemption power converted from survival points.

His own redemption power hadn't been consumed much.

Plus, his three attributes were higher than the person in front of him. This person's strength was even slightly worse than Xiong Yong's.

After a few exchanges, taking advantage of a gap, Jiang Yuan fiercely swung his knife and cut off his opponent's neck.

And at this moment...

Hu Zhengfeng had just arrived!

Lin Le was still running with a long spear!

Lin Le was dumbfounded.

They had clearly advanced on the same day!

And on the day they advanced, you clearly couldn't beat me!!!

Why is this happening?!!!

Lin Le's young heart, which had lived for more than twenty years, suffered an unprecedented blow.

His heart ached.

Also stunned was a stern-looking who was running towards Chi Zhongyue's opponent.

And a strange woman who had come to support him and Chi Zhongyue.

Their gazes towards Jiang Yuan seemed to have changed.
