Ambush

At the military base, Li Wei was discussing with two high-level War Gods whether they should intercept and kill Liu Yun.

"The tracker has been installed, so we can find him no matter how far he runs. But young master, is doing this really worth it?"

The high-level War God Kalon said this while holding a radar monitor, which clearly showed the distance between them and Liu Yun steadily increasing.

Pan Ya agreed with this sentiment to some extent. After all, they had only lost two lackey martial artists whom Liu Yun had cleverly crippled, but Liu Yun was still a formidable expert; was the cost of doing this too high?

The mixed-race Li Wei stood atop a collapsed bus, his expression grim.

"Hmph, I just find this Liu Yun to be too arrogant. Wang Huifeng and Xia Lin merely said a few words to him, and he actually resorted to such vicious methods!"

When Li Wei said this, a sense of indignation welled up in his heart, and his face looked extremely unpleasant.

"I think we need to teach him a lesson! Someone like this dares to strike my subordinates, so he should expect the consequences of my retaliation. How about it? You aren't afraid, are you?"

He had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth his entire life and had never suffered a moment of grievance. Now that someone had challenged him, he naturally wanted to deal with them properly.

"Afraid of him? That's impossible!"

The white-skinned, burly Kalon shook his head, reached out to tear off his undershirt, revealing a palm-wide patch of chest hair.

Martial artists were people who sought breakthroughs on the edge of life and death; it was impossible for them to fear plotting against an enemy. Sometimes, tracking and killing an enemy was even more important than tracking monsters.

Seeing that both men had made up their minds, Kalon stopped overthinking and simply focused on how to take down Liu Yun without much effort.

"I watched his performance during the assessment. Although he killed over a dozen H-level monsters, his footwork was still terrible."

Kalon was referring to the skills Liu Yun displayed during the martial artist combat assessment; that clumsy appearance remained in his mind.

At least to high-level War Gods like them, that footwork was abysmal. If Kalon were in his place, he believed he could kill nearly a hundred H-level monsters with a single blade.

"Let's not alert the enemy for now. When he reaches the wilderness to camp, we will gradually close in. We'll definitely be able to catch him off guard!"

This was Kalon's calculation, which could be said to have grasped Liu Yun's weaknesses with great precision. After all, Liu Yun's strength relied primarily on stacking data, and his corresponding cultivation had not yet received sufficient training.

Thus, they finalized their plan: when Liu Yun rested and let his guard down in the wilderness, they would launch a joint attack, ensuring a kill in one strike without leaving any flaws.

Liu Yun drove his off-road pickup truck, speeding along the highway in the wilderness until the road ahead was completely blocked by ruins and debris. He had to park the car on the side of the road and decided to proceed on foot. As the sunset cast its glow over the broken pavement, Liu Yun took his backpack from the car and carefully checked his equipment. He abandoned the machine gun and rocket launcher, hiding the vehicle in the messy bushes.

"If the base were fully constructed, I should be able to build a stealth airship!"

He couldn't help but look forward to the completion of the base even more. As long as the base was fully built, he wouldn't need to use outdated tools like off-road vehicles anymore, and his survival capability in the wild would increase significantly.

Liu Yun knew well that the road ahead would be full of unknowns and dangers, but as a War God-level Psychic, he had sufficient confidence and preparation.

Just as he was about to embark on his journey on foot, a subtle electromagnetic wave caught his attention. As a Psychic, he was exceptionally sensitive to such minute changes. Liu Yun immediately closed his eyes and focused, using his Psychic Power to scan his surroundings, attempting to capture the source of that unusual fluctuation.

As a result, he found a black signal transmitter under the license plate of the off-road vehicle, and he couldn't help but be startled.

Someone is tracking me? Liu Yun felt a chill in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure.

He didn't know who the enemy was, but this tracking was certainly not well-intentioned; it might even be driven by very malicious motives.

However, Liu Yun couldn't immediately guess that it was Li Wei tracking him. Liu Yun didn't have any life-or-death enemies yet, so he couldn't fathom who had planted this tracker.

Holding the small black tracker, Liu Yun's face darkened. Just then, a strange white bird flew by—it looked like a monster. Liu Yun directly used his Psychic Power to skillfully transfer the black tracker from his hand onto the white bird as it spread its wings to fly high.

The bird didn't seem to notice anything unusual and continued to soar freely in the sky, while the tracker remained tightly attached beneath its feathers, gradually moving away from Liu Yun's position as it flew.

"You can chase after this beast! I still have to go kill the Undying Bird!"

Liu Yun thought that the mission came first. After all, this was his first time executing a mission, and he couldn't be distracted by a mere tracker. He immediately continued toward the location provided in the mission information, no longer paying attention to this trivial matter.

On the other side, Li Wei, Kalon, and the others were anxiously waiting for feedback from the tracker. They had thought they could easily find Liu Yun and execute their interception plan, but they hadn't expected the tracker to suddenly have an accident.

Li Wei's brows were tightly locked, his eyes fixed on the light dot on the radar monitor that was jumping around but gradually veering off course. A sense of foreboding welled up in his heart. He turned to look at Kalon, his tone filled with unease: "Why did the tracker suddenly change direction? Did Liu Yun do something to it?"

Kalon was also full of confusion. He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "That's unlikely. Our tracker is the latest model with extremely high stealth. Even if he is a Psychic, he shouldn't be able to detect it easily, unless..."

"Unless what?" Li Wei asked urgently.

"Unless his Psychic Power has already reached the strength of a War God. The parameters of this tracker simply cannot evade the Psychic Power of a War God-level powerhouse." Kalon speculated, a trace of wariness flashing in his eyes. As a high-level War God, he knew well the power and mystery of a War God-level Psychic.

If that were truly the case, they wouldn't need to worry about being called cowards; it would be best to turn around and leave immediately to save their own lives.

"What do we do now? Should we continue tracking?" Pan Ya asked from the side, appearing somewhat hesitant.

Li Wei pondered for a moment, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes: "Track! I don't believe this Liu Yun is that powerful. He is so young; he absolutely cannot be a War God-level Psychic! At most, he discovered the tracker by accident! If all else fails, we'll just wait for him at his mission destination."

Kalon and Pan Ya nodded in agreement upon hearing this. They knew that this mission had already exceeded their initial expectations, but since they had already decided to act, there was no turning back.

Liu Yun had accepted the mission to hunt the Undying Bird, a fact Li Wei had discovered using his parents' influence. Li Wei naturally understood where Liu Yun was headed, so he wasn't afraid of losing the trail; at most, they would just waste more time!

And clearly, what they were tracking was nothing more than a bird flying high. Liu Yun had managed to shake off these little tails for the time being. He was very shrewd and planned to return to the base immediately without a moment's delay after completing his mission.
