Chapter 7

While Luo Fei was speeding, he suddenly heard a whimper from his arms and he immediately slowed down as he remembered he was carrying his little sister. 

Luo Xue was only an ordinary human and naturally, she wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure from such a high speed.

Even though his intention was to protect his sister, her physical fitness was far more inferior compared to his. His high speed had caused an intense wind and the pressure was great enough to make an ordinary human suffer.

Luo Fei believed that he had traveled far enough and the academy’s guards were not able to catch up with him that quickly. He also believed that the Yang family would have just only received news on Yang Jie’s demise. After he put these factors into consideration, Luo Fei gradually stopped and put his sister down on her feet.

Luo Xue’s legs were still a little shaky and her footsteps were weak when she tried standing on her own. If Luo Fei wasn’t there to support her as her feet touched the ground, she would have fallen over on the spot. Her delicate pretty face blanched in embarrassment.

“Xue’er, are you alright?” Luo Fei was shocked when he noticed Luo Xue’s appearance and hurriedly moved forward with concern.

“I’m… I’m fine…” Luo Xue reacted by shaking her head. However, her words were fairly weak and her alluring lips were rather dried and cracked.

Luo Fei looked at her condition and knew that his little sister was just reassuring him. He hurriedly opened his backpack, unscrewed his military water bottle, and fed it to Luo Xue.

Gulp!

Luo Xue obediently leaned into Luo Fei’s embrace and took a sip on the bottle.

After some time, Luo Xue seemed to be much better and Luo Fei finally sighed with relief. She got him really panicked just now. He had treated Luo Xue as his own family for the past two years, and he wouldn’t know what to do if something bad happened to her.

“I really ran too fast just now. Xue’er’s has a relatively weak body but she still forcefully endured this level of speed just now.” Luo Fei regretted his actions.

However, this was something that couldn’t be helped. If he was too slow, everything would be over when the academy and the Yang family managed to catch up.

Luo Fei estimated that after he left the academy, the academy would have immediately sent guards to chase in his direction. They would also investigate the surveillance cameras and inquire about his address. Then, they would send people with the sole intention of hunting him down.

He did not own a car, but the academy could be using magnetically-levitated vehicles in pursuit of him.

Even if he was a martial artist, he would still be caught. After all, a normal martial artist would only be able to last for at most half an hour. He wouldn’t have been able to escape this far.

But fortunately, he was not an ordinary martial artist. Luo Fei’s powers had no limitations! However, he could be killed if he was arrested but that was something beyond his control. After all, the people who were after him had guns!

Moreover, they were not ordinary guns but were energy pistols that were developed by a group of experts on this spiritually rejuvenating planet.

The guns were not very effective against ferocious beasts. However, it was strong enough enough to kill a martial artist. While faced with this weapon, one moment of carelessness would result in serious injuries or immediate death. The gun could be referred to as the next most lethal weapon after a martial artist.

Based on what he had previously researched on guns, he was pretty sure that he would not be able to escape as an advanced-level martial artist disciple. However, with his abilities now, Luo Fei was 90% certain that he would be able to kill the academy guards before they managed to use the weapon. Nevertheless, his best option now was to run as he had to protect his sister who was still an ordinary human. He would not allow her to be in danger.

Fortunately, no one had caught up with him and they were safe for the time being. However, he had to stay alert as he had killed a member of an extremely powerful family of martial artists, and it was known that the Yang family was no ordinary martial artist family.

The Yang family would use skills that were beyond his imaginations and if he were caught, he would certainly not survive and his sister’s fate might probably be worse than his.

Luo Fei’s silent thoughts explained why he was running at full speed. He looked at Luo Xue who was smiling weakly, then gently stroked her hair and gave a resigned smile.

The longer time had passed, the more danger they faced, and more critically, he did not even know where he was going. Even if he had become a martial artist now, he was still no match for the other party who has the upper hand due to the larger number of martial artists on their end.

Luo Xue, who was standing by his side, also lowered her head when she sensed the situation. She felt like she was a burden to Luo Fei and she was the one to be blamed. Even though she did not know what had happened, it was definitely a huge event that had occurred earlier. Otherwise, her brother would not have run away. But now, he had to slow down because of her.

“Brother, I’m sorry. I’m the one who dragged you down…”

“Don’t be silly. What do you mean by dragging me down? You are one of my own!

“No, I mean you are my sister. How could you say that you are dragging me down!”

Luo Fei quickly comforted Luo Xue who was feeling guilty but realized that he had a slip of tongue and hastily corrected himself.

Luo Xue’s small delicate face turned rosy. Her ruddy complexion indicated that she felt much better, or it could’ve been a blush…

“Brother, what exactly is going on? Where are we going?” Luo Xue quickly drove out the unhealthy thoughts in her mind and changed their topic.

She had a lot of questions about her brother who had a sudden increase in strength and speed. Her brother’s personality had changed greatly in the past two years and even though they only met once a week, they were very close to one another. Thus, Luo Xue was very clear of her brother’s abilities. She knew that because of his ordinary talent, his improvements were slow despite training very hard every day.

His strength could only reach 400 kg, and his speed would definitely not exceed 30 m/s.

But now, her brother’s speed was terrifyingly fast…

It had definitely exceeded 50 m/s. She believed that if it were not for her current condition, her brother would have probably run faster. She believed that even if Luo Fei had rapid improvements in his ability during the past week, it wouldn’t have increased at such a tremendous rate!

Not to mention, even a martial artist would not be able to maintain such a fast speed for a long duration. However, Luo Fei was able to maintain his speed for several hours! Hence, she believed her brother’s revelation earlier when he said he was already a martial artist.

Even though Luo Xue’s mind was still clouded with thoughts and questions, she was sensible enough to keep them to herself as she figured that it would be troublesome for her brother to explain. Perhaps when the time was right, her brother would naturally explain it to her. After all, she too had her own little secret.

“Didn’t I tell you not to ask!” Luo Fei saw that Luo Xue was feeling much better and let out a sigh of relief, but rolled his eyes at her at the same time he answered.

“But you were running around like a headless chicken…” Luo Xue bit her red lips and rubbed her little fingers with an aggrieved expression.

“Erm!” Luo Fei saw his sister’s aggrieved expression and his heart instantly softened to tell her the truth.

“I killed a descendant from a renowned martial artist family!”

“So you are hiding from them?” Luo Fei originally thought that his sister would be very shocked by the news. However, her reaction was completely out of his expectations.

Luo Fei winced at his sister who had asked him that question with a surprisingly calm expression.

“That’s right! I killed a person whose parents are powerful martial artists. Even his brother seems to be a renowned and talented martial artist.

“Besides, even the academy’s guards are hunting us down. Once we’re caught…” Luo Fei didn’t need to finish his sentence for his smart sister who had already guessed the answer.

After killing the martial artists’ son, his family would probably want nothing but to grind the two of them into ashes.

Although Luo Xue was blind and had been staying at home, the technology on this planet was very powerful, whereby artificial intelligence had long been developed. Every day, she would obtain a lot of knowledge online, and therefore, unlike other girls who would panic when they heard this kind of news, Luo Xue was able to compose herself quickly..
