Chapter 53: Zhu Hongyu

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everybody thought that Yang Tian was going to face off against the group of Warriors-nobody expected that he would turn tail and run!

‘Only an idiot would stay here and run your gauntlet!’ Yang Tian laughed coldly in his heart.

‘Run!’

That was the thought that crept in Yang Tian’s mind the moment he saw Bai Kai, Zhu Hongyu, and Zheng Dalong.

Yang Tian knew that even if he possessed the power of the Dragon Pearl and could fight for a very long time, he could not defeat more than two Warriors who were Class Six and above. The only option was to run. His life was more valuable than his dignity as a Warrior.

Seeing Yang Tian run out of the valley, Butler Wu smiled and nodded. He felt that Yang Tian was at least quick-witted. He was worried for a moment that Yang Tian was really going to take them all on!

The group of warriors would not just let Yang Tian escape, and they immediately chased after him.

This time, not only did they want the 2 billion Wu reward, but they also wanted the Grade Eight Beast Core on Yang Tian’s body.

The monster snake that had been killed by Drago was identified by the Warriors as a Grade Eight Monster.

A Grade Eight Monster was very difficult to kill. Even presently, a lot of Warriors who were at the peak of Class Seven were stuck where they were because they were unable to obtain a Grade Eight Beast Core to ascend another level. A Grade Eight Beast Core was worth hundreds of billions. Its rarity justified its price. 1

A hundred billion Wu was an astronomical number, and a large majority of Class Seven Warriors could not fork it out.

Yang Tian knew that if he did not raise his level to Class Eight from that day onward, a lot more Class Seven Warriors would keep looking for him…

However, it was not on Yang Tian’s mind at the moment; his only priority then was to run. The further he ran the better! He had thought of returning to Tianxiong City with Butler Wu, but the circumstances then would afford him no chance.

What about next time?

It would have to be a matter of timing. 1

Warriors who had a Pet Monster that could fly were very rare in the world. As long as he was on the back of the Red Eagle and in the sky, he was safe.

Drago could also fly, but Yang Tian did not intend to reveal the fact that he had Drago to others because he and Drago’s abilities were not enough at the moment to face the best Warriors of the world; unless they attained Class Eight and above.

Yang Tian did not want Drago to meet with any mishaps. He could see that Drago still had not yet truly grown. After transforming once, it took up massive amounts of energy. If it was not for the fact that the Flying Snake was too strong, Drago would not have transformed to fight him.

When it came to the speed of fleeing, Yang Tian was probably the fastest in the world. It was just like that time more than a month ago. At that time, he was chased by Zhou Dadao, and currently, he was being chased by a group of Transhumans who were Class Five or Six.

Yang Tian did not stop; he kept running for one day and one night. He finally stopped when he was completely exhausted.

At that moment, Bai Kai and the others who were chasing Yang Tian had long since lost Yang Tian’s trail.

…

Thud!

Bai Kai let out a long exhale and stabbed his massive saber into the ground as he frowned. He looked at Zhou Dadao and said, “How is it that this brat is so good at running? We’ve been chasing him for an entire day but he just keeps getting further and further away.”

Zhou Dadao could not help but smile as he said, “I don’t know. It was the same with me. I chased him for days on end, but he still got away. His endurance is scary!”

“What happened with Wu Fang and the others?”

Bai Kai asked.

When Bai Kai referred to Wu Fang, he referring to Butler Wu.

Zhou Dadao continued, “As for Wu Fang, I’ve sent someone to constantly check on him. He has no way to contact Yang Tian right now.”

Bai Kai nodded. “Keep a close eye on Wu Fang, he can’t bring Yang Tian back to the city!”

“Okay!” Zhou Dadao nodded.

“One more thing; where’s Zhu Hongyu?”

Bai Kai looked around before asking.

Zhou Dadao glanced at his Warriormate before replying, “No word from her yet. However, her position is clear. She’s ten kilometers away from us, and she’s still moving. It seems like she’s still chasing Yang Tian.”

Bai Kai immediately opened his Warriormate and contacted Zhu Hongyu to say, “Hongyu, return immediately. If you keep chasing him alone, you’re going to fall into Yang Tian’s trap. That brat’s ability is already equivalent to a Class Six Warrior.”

However, Zhu Hongyu coldly replied with a single line, “Save your worry, and don’t meddle in my business.”

Bai Kai could not help but smile while shaking his head.

“I’ll go after her!” Zheng Dalong said on one side, and he turned to leave.

Bai Kai looked at Zheng Dalong but said nothing.

While the three of them were Warriors of Shenwei Military Academy, they were also all here on orders so they were not close to each other.

Two days later.

Night fell once more.

It had not rained for many days, and as the light faded, a drizzle started.

Yang Tian spread out his tarp, and having learned from Xiao Fei back then, he tied the four corners of the tarp to a tree and planted a tree branch in the middle. Sitting by the firepit, he began to roast some fresh snake meat.

Not long after that, a woman approached. She was drenched.

Zhu Hongyu!

Yang Tian smiled slightly when he saw her.

This woman had been on his tail for three days now. Yang Tian admired her determination.

“Even though it’s raining, I don’t wish to kill a woman. You should leave!” Yang Tian looked at Zhu Hongyu and spoke flatly.

Zhu Hongyu sat opposite Yang Tian and sheathed her rapiers. She then…began taking off her clothes.

Yang Tian frowned but refused to turn away. This woman was still a Class Six Warrior. The slightest mistake may lead him into her trap.

Zhu Hongyu did not seem to be bashful under Yang Tian’s stare. Soon, she was only in her underwear. She took off her red cape, red shirt, red skirt, and red leggings and placed them near the fire to dry.

Zhu Hongyu’s physique was impressive! Her face was also very beautiful. The only issue was that regardless of the situation, her facial expression was always ice cold. By comparison to her the color of her clothes, women who loved to wear red would naturally be very flirty.

Zhu Hongyu did not seem to mind, but Yang Tian was feeling uncomfortable, and he said nonchalantly, “Aren’t you being a bit too lax, acting like this in front of the enemy?”

Zhu Hongyu glanced at Yang Tian before speaking coolly, “Wait for my clothes to dry before we fight! Regardless of who defeats who, it doesn’t matter right now.” 1

Yang Tian did not understand Zhu Hongyu’s words so he focused on eating his roasted snake meat.

Yang Tian had actually lit the fire to draw Zhu Hongyu over because he knew that Zhu Hongyu was alone.

Yang Tian had no confidence facing down to Class Six Warriors, but if it were just one… 1

Yang Tian had just said he did not want to kill a woman because he was just like any other man in his heart. He thought that women were weak, even if that woman was out for his head. Yang Tian planned to defeat her then let her go. 1

Roughly an hour later, Zhu Hongyu’s clothes were all dried. She put them on and pulled out her dual rapiers. She stood and calmly said to Yang Tian, “I’m ready. Let’s do this.”

Yang Tian looked up at Zhu Hongyu before smiling. “You’re ready, but I’m not!”
