When Lu Feng first saw these black-clad figures, he had thought they were the kidnappers who had abducted Fenfen Chengkuai. Since they had also nearly killed him, he naturally had no fondness for them. So when he encountered them this time, even knowing they had been sent by Fenfen Chengkuai to help him, he remained wary and did not dare trust them.
He had never expected them to be so fierce and resolute. To escort Gu Xijue, whom he held in his arms, they had thrown themselves forward one after another, without the slightest hesitation even though they knew they would die. It stirred an indescribable feeling in Lu Feng's heart.
Lu Feng could not explain exactly what that feeling was. In the end, he shamelessly named it mutual admiration.
But mutual admiration was one thing, and fleeing for his life was another matter entirely. When the leader of the black-clad figures sent him flying with a palm strike and shouted for him to take Gu Xijue and leave first, Lu Feng did not hesitate at all. He did not even think of turning back to admire the leader's heroic figure. He immediately activated every cultivation technique that could increase his speed and raced ahead at full tilt.
Wonderful, there are more people waiting to help by the sea. With this little distance left, I should be able to reach them and get out of danger. The black-clad leader's final words greatly reassured Lu Feng. At least he would not be stranded without help.
Even as he fled for his life, however, he kept looking around, hoping to catch sight of that flamboyant porcupine. If his bargain-bin master showed up, none of this would be a problem. Those damned pursuers? He would sweep through them like an army of thousands.
