11. A Hasty Escape??

Not planning to linger, he intended to take a taxi home. However, the thought of taking a taxi reminded Ling Feng of the Lamborghini driver from that morning. Now, thinking about it, Ling Feng actually found him somewhat endearing?

It's really speechless.

If it happened again, Ling Feng wouldn't believe it was a coincidence!

At this moment, Ling Feng was unaware of the impending danger. In such a peaceful and harmonious environment, who would be mindful of potential threats?

With a horn blaring, a red truck hurtled straight toward him, ignoring the roadblocks and pedestrians around him. In just a few seconds, everything around him was turned upside down.

The screeching sound of brakes, the immense inertia and impact, the scene shattered and horrific, accompanied by the sounds of metal scraping and tearing, and people screaming and shouting.

Upon discovering this, Ling Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly identified the person sitting in the driver's seat of the car...

A shadowy figure?!

Holy crap?!

Ling Feng initially thought it might be an accident, but this route was far too obviously aimed at him! It was clearly intended to kill him! Ling Feng wasn't stupid; he wasn't so oblivious as to miss this!

It's obvious without even thinking that this was a long-planned conspiracy!

But who exactly is it?

Ling Feng couldn't recall offending anyone. After all, he was just a high school student and had never had any major conflicts with anyone. The only one that seemed to be the Li Juncheng incident was that, but shouldn't Li Juncheng have been locked up in jail long ago?

Wait a minute, the person driving doesn't even look human!

What the hell is this thing?!

While he was pondering, the slightly blurry black figure in the car suddenly gave Ling Feng a strange, fawning smile, which made Ling Feng feel uneasy.

It feels so disgusting!!

Nightmare?!

The truck showed no signs of braking as in the accident; instead, it spewed smoke from its tires, leaving two long tracks on the ground, and hurtled straight toward him!

Ling Feng believed that if it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't even have time to react!

The Zero-Second Judgment left Ling Feng momentarily dazed. He leaped and landed directly on the roadside lawn. The momentum from his speed caused him to tumble several times, even eating a few mouthfuls of grass in the process!

Common lawn weeds can be divided into three main categories: grass weeds, broadleaf weeds, and sedges.

But what he ate was...

Wild mint?!

"Pooh!"

"Grass!"

After exhaling a few mouthfuls of mint leaves, Ling Feng was almost dumbfounded. He was still a little dazed, but he quickly came to his senses.

Looking around, he noticed that the truck that hadn't hit him initially was now backing up, and it seemed the other party wasn't going to let it go, even appearing ready to ram him again!

"Holy crap?!"

Seeing this, Ling Feng was stunned again.

The scene was in complete disarray, with trash cans overturned next to Ling Feng, spilling all over him, almost making him feel disgusted.

Hearing the screams from the crowd, Ling Feng knew he couldn't hold back any longer. It was the first time he'd encountered something like this, and Ling Feng was inevitably a little shaken. Although he quickly calmed down, he still felt utterly speechless.

If you encounter someone like this on the street, you'll know just how disgusting this is!

This was premeditated murder!

You'll go to jail!

Do you even know you've broken the law??

Or are you trying to send me to another world?

"You scourge that endangers public safety!"

Ling Feng cursed out loud, "Luckily, this thing is targeting me. What if it had hit ordinary people? The scene would have been a bloody mess, like a living hell!"

However, Ling Feng was unaware that this Magical Nightmare had indeed come specifically to deal with him. It had been foraging nearby when it sensed the aura of a Destiny Bearer or Carrier, and it had frantically pursued them, hoping to kill them and reduce a future threat!

Under normal circumstances, "Nightmare" would not dare to directly attack the Astral Mark Girl and Magical Girls, because that would be nothing short of courting death and seeking attention!

Because they are weak, before they are fully formed, they can only hide in cold, dark corners and tremble with fear! Only when they become complete can they have the power to fight against the one Fate Inscribers.

Their hobbies are simply tearing down houses and "playing" with humans. What's wrong with them? The problem isn't with them, it's with the world!!

These damn Magical Girls! Astral Mark Girl!

Even the Hell Girl who gave them life wants to exterminate them!

How inhumane this is!

"Gurgle..."

"Gurgle~ gurgle... gurgle..."

"Gulp!!"

Hearing the strange cries from the monster in the car, Ling Feng was startled again.

"??"

What is it saying?

Without further thought, Ling Feng directly tore off the Astral Mark Necklace from his body, revealing an ice-blue six-pointed star!

"Transform!"

Without his previous cringeworthy lines, Ling Feng uttered those two words with a much more confident tone! For a fleeting moment, he even felt a little handsome?!

With a slight lift of her eyes, a sharp glint flashed in them. In just a second, Ling Feng transformed from a 1.65-meter-tall boy into a 1.58-meter-tall young woman!

Her long, snow-white hair cascaded down, fluttering gently in the cold wind. Her icy blue eyes were pure and clear, yet her delicate face showed a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

Of course, her gaze also shifted slightly downwards at that moment, meaning she appeared shorter!

When the "Nightmare" on the bus saw this scene, its "hair stood on end!" Although it didn't have such a thing, it was obvious that it was much more frightened and began to become restless!

"Gurgle?? (Holy crap??)"

"Gurgle!! (Go to hell!!)"

"Hello?" Ling Feng didn't know what it was yelling about again, but she didn't hesitate and reached into a spatial magic circle to pull out the familiar Tang sword.

He then leaped up and instantly jumped over the three-meter-high truck!

For a fleeting moment, she even felt as if she were floating in mid-air. Although it didn't last long, it felt pretty good!

"Yue- Star Trace!"

As Ling Feng slashed down, a moonlit sword mark with a diameter of 5 meters fell from the sky. The sword shadow, with its overwhelming power, was so magnificent that ordinary people could not even look at it directly, as if it were a divine punishment!

After being chopped off, the truck cab, which was two meters wide, had no chance to resist and was torn in two with a "rip!"

"Boom!"

A deafening crash followed, and the entire truck overturned instantly! The force of the explosion sent plumes of thick smoke billowing up from the roadside, making the area look like it had just been the site of a major battle—smoke and dust filled the air, and even gasoline had spilled out. Wouldn't it be a waste to just grab a water bottle and collect it all?

Gasoline is still very expensive!

Before the dust had settled, standing on the truck that had broken in two, Ling Feng felt a strange sense of unease; she felt the truck must be broken.

Just then, a dark figure darted out from the front of the car and disappeared into the bushes not far behind it.

Ling Feng's eyesight was so sharp that he easily caught this detail.

But she doesn't want to give up now and delay her own affairs. Now she realizes she wants to run away?

It's too late!

Chapter Eleven: Fleeing Away?

It wasn't late at night, but Zhishan Park was already shrouded in darkness, with only a few hanging streetlights struggling to emit a faint glow along the paths.

This environment was perfect for the nightmare to hide in, concealing itself in the darkness. By the time Ling Feng caught up, it had already vanished without a trace.

Feeling the tranquility undisturbed and the fresh air unique to her, Ling Feng felt a sense of peace and joy, but she did not forget her purpose.

She could already hear the sirens of fire trucks and police cars in the distance, which she guessed were already on their way.

Just then, some rustling sounds came from ahead, followed by a dark shadow flashing by. Ling Feng noticed it and immediately gave chase, knowing exactly what it was.

As for the outside matters, let the professionals handle them. She wouldn't be of much help anyway, so Ling Feng decided to eliminate the culprit first.

By the dim light of the streetlamp, Ling Feng could see the dark figure ahead still staggering forward, clearly injured, and its speed had indeed slowed down considerably compared to before.

With her beautiful eyes gently closed, Ling Feng didn't choose the safer method of using a gun to kill her. Instead, he wanted to try a new skill: the sound of swordsmanship in his dream, each move distinct, reminiscent of that moonlit night with osmanthus blossoms filling the courtyard...

In the instant between the light and shadow of the sky, a desolate and chilling atmosphere filled the air!

"Snap!"

The sound of a blade being sheathed echoed from the park. For a moment, Ling Feng's figure seemed to freeze. He slightly lowered his body, and Severing Scar appeared in the void. The blade tilted, and before he could even cut halfway, it was sheathed!

However, at that very moment, the "Nightmare," which was still twenty meters away from her, was instantly torn in two by a silver-white blade that appeared out of nowhere!

"Holy crap?! A dimensional slash?!"

When Ling Feng opened her eyes, she naturally saw what was happening in front of her. She was completely bewildered and somewhat surprised.

She had only tried it out of curiosity, but who knew it would actually succeed? After all, it was so illogical.

However, considering the sword skills she currently possessed, she felt they were fairly normal.

Early versions of Astral Mark Girl were all physical damage dealers, and at most they could only use Star Source to convert it into bullets, which was too limiting.

Only by gradually developing the Star Source can one master it. The Star Source, also known as the Astral Origin, is the eighth element that does not exist in this world. It seems somewhat similar to magic?

Ling Feng himself hasn't figured it out yet, but it seems he can convert its elements later on, as well as some sword techniques, cultivation methods, and secret manuals specific to the Destiny Sign...

"Why does it feel a bit like cultivating immortality?"

"Do you have any martial arts techniques that allow one to fly on a sword?"

[Master, it's looking this way~]

"Or is it possible to teleport instantly?"

[Master, it's running away!]

"Huh? Why are you running? Didn't we already win?"

Hearing Xi He's words in his mind, Ling Feng finally realized what was happening. But somehow, the Nightmare that had been broken in two had somehow reassembled itself! Aside from seeming to be a little smaller, it seemed perfectly fine!? And it was even about to leave!!

Holy crap?!

This is outrageous!!

Having realized this, Ling Feng was about to give chase when the monster turned around, glanced back, and even stuck out its tongue before plunging headfirst into the bushes.

When they chased after it again, there was no trace of that nightmare!

What the hell?!

Ling Feng was dumbfounded.

I'm so frustrated!!

Perhaps his skills weren't quite stable yet; Ling Feng missed its core, causing this wreaking havoc to revive! And it even managed to escape??

Recalling his smug expression just moments before, Ling Feng thought of a saying.

"Sigh, we were too happy too soon."

Ling Feng was still somewhat unconvinced, so he rushed in and searched again. Unsurprisingly, he couldn't find it at all. The thing was pitch black, so it would be strange if he couldn't find it!

Are you sure this is it?

"This is it! This is it! I saw it with my own eyes, that truck crashed directly into that boy!"

At the intersection of Zhishan Park, an elderly woman anxiously explained to several patrolling police officers. Judging from her reaction, she must have been quite frightened.

It wasn't just this older woman; many other passersby on the roadside were still in shock and disoriented!
