He Shengzhen was as if it had fallen into an ice cave.
His eyes were filled with disbelief, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets. The uncontrollable rage he had felt earlier had now transformed into a tidal wave of deep fear.
"How could this be...?"
He Shengzhen cultivates Earth-Element Dou Qi. For Earth-Element Dou Qi qi warriors, strength and defense are their specialties. They are said to possess the weight of the earth and the toughness of Rock. The solidification of their physical strength is definitely the best among other Dou Qi qi warriors of the One-Star Class. It is because of this that he dared to use his fists to attack right away.
However, reality ruthlessly shattered his confidence.
The King before him easily shattered the Four-Star Class Initial Stage Earth-Element Dou Qi that He Shengzhen was so proud of with just a light punch. Then, a violent force of unknown attribute crashed into his body, shattering the arm bones of his arms with a series of cracking sounds.
"How is this possible? Has he already broken through to the Five-Star Class level?"
The fall from confidence to collapse often takes only a short time. Sun Fei's punch shattered all his pride and reliance. This huge gap in reality made He Shengzhen subconsciously exaggerate Sun Fei's strength. It was this thought that instantly terrified him, and he could no longer muster the courage to continue fighting. As he was thrown through the air, his Dou Qi surged wildly, and the orange-yellow flames of his Dou Qi flickered, just like before. In an instant, it turned into a human-shaped puddle of yellow mud in the mist and disappeared into the sand and gravel on the ground.
"Pah! You chickened out already?" Sun Fei spat and cursed, "Someone like you, you dare to be an assassin?"
Chase!
This burly man must know some information that Sun Fei desperately needs, so how could His Majesty the King be willing to let go of such an important clue? He waved his hand behind him, and the Big Black that had been lazily lying there counting stars growled, jumped up from the ground, and rushed over like a Whirlwind. Sun Fei leaped onto its back and followed the burly man's scent.
Sun Fei had to admit that the stealth technique of Earth-Element Dou Qi was indeed very powerful in this environment. Especially for He Shengzhen, who had cultivated this Dou Qi to the Four-Star Class Initial Stage, his stealth trajectory was even more unpredictable. Moreover, He Shengzhen seemed to have spent a lot of effort cultivating his stealth technique, so after merging into the underground stone layer, he couldn't be seen at all from the outside, as if everything that happened in the alley was an illusion, and that He Shengzhen had never existed.
Unfortunately, the burly man was injured and unable to perform a perfect stealth maneuver.
In addition, Sun Fei had already locked onto his aura, so there were still some clues to follow. While carefully sensing the wildly surging Earth-Element Dou Qi aura underground, Sun Fei urged the Big Black under his horse to chase after him at Luffy.
He Shengzhen is very cunning.
After entering the underground, he tried his best to conceal his aura while carefully recovering his strength.
This wasn't the first time he'd experienced such an escape.
He once escaped from being hunted by a Six-Star Class expert.
So after the initial panic, his heart gradually calmed down. He never expected that this unknown King Alexander was actually a Five-Star Class expert. This unexpected discovery surprised him, but he was also very fortunate. Luckily, he reacted quickly and knew he was no match after just one exchange. Without any hesitation, he immediately fled, thus avoiding being defeated by that King.
"This matter must be reported to His Highness Prince Obinna as soon as possible, otherwise, it may affect the subsequent plans."
He Shengzhen struggled to move underground, his severely injured arm slowing his stealth speed.
Fortunately, his mission was already accomplished, and he didn't need to worry about not being able to explain himself when he returned.
But then, a sudden change occurred—
Boom!
Two loud bangs suddenly rang out. He Shengzhen was stunned for a moment and did not understand what was happening. The next moment, he felt two huge forces break through the thick soil from above and suddenly sweep down uncontrollably.
Damn it!
The King has caught up with them.
He actually attacked me by brute force, blasting me underground? But... how did this damn guy detect me moving underground?
In this critical moment, He Shengzhen couldn't afford to worry about anything else.
Despite his worsening injuries, he charged forward with all his might, his speed suddenly increasing. He spat out a mouthful of blood, barely managing to avoid the attack. The two raging dragons, sweeping down through the soil, grazed his back and pierced through him, burying themselves deep into the earth before gradually disappearing without a trace.
Before he could even react, he heard two more booming sounds in his ears. Two enormous forces blasted down through the soil, their location of He Shengzhen perfectly pinpointed, as if they could see through things.
The He Shengzhen was greatly alarmed.
The only option was to desperately speed up and rush forward.
His desperate search despite his severe injuries is causing his wounds to worsen step by step.
Above the earth's surface.
The Big Black [ Black Whirlwind ] truly transformed into a black Whirlwind, rapidly darting forward along a strange path on the ground. Sun Fei repeatedly leaped from the Big Black's back, headfirst and feetfirst, directly slamming his fists into the ground. Amidst the flying dust, one fist imprint after another exploded on the ground, spreading outwards like spiderwebs.
The immense physical strength of a level 21 Barbarian contained in his fist slammed down through the ground, forcing the He Shengzhen below to flee desperately like rats.
Actually, just over ten seconds earlier, Sun Fei had almost lost track of the burly man.
However, at the crucial moment, the Big Black [ Black Whirlwind ] displayed a tracking ability that left Sun Fei speechless. After being modified by the [ Hulk Potion ], this beast not only experienced a surge in strength and a significant change in size, but even its canine sense of smell was enhanced countless times. At such high speeds, [ Black Whirlwind ] only needed to lightly sniff the ground with its nose to pinpoint the location of He Shengzhen underground, without ever making a mistake.
This beast is practically a GPS tracker.
So the man and the dog chased Ha He Shengzhen -jin across the ground like a cat playing with a mouse.
At this point, Sun Fei could have easily dragged the guy who had been showing off all along out of the ground. But then he suddenly thought that he should follow the trail and maybe find some behind-the-scenes figures and make more discoveries. So he only forced him to surrender and didn't kill him right away.
Boom boom boom boom--!
Punches pounded the ground, each one grazing He Shengzhen's body. Sun Fei was playing whack-a-mole with his dog, having a great time. And Sun Fei's goal seemed to be being achieved step by step, as He Shengzhen's escape route underground was finally becoming clearer.
It was heading towards the Chambord City post station area.
That was the place where the envoys from various countries who came to congratulate Sun Fei on his formal investiture resided.
"Damn it, it really was these outsiders causing trouble... I'll come and see which fool dares to scheme against me!"
Sun Fei chased after them.
By this time, it was completely dark, and there were few pedestrians on the streets. However, soldiers from Chambord City were stationed and guarding the area near the post station. Upon hearing the rumbling noise, they immediately Shout and rushed out to block the way.
"Back off!" Sun Fei shouted from afar, "I order all soldiers to immediately withdraw from the post station area. This place no longer needs protection!"
"Ah... it's His Alexander!"
The soldiers quickly recognized that the one riding on a Big Black and displaying his might was His Majesty King Alexander. However, they did not know where the enemy was. But upon hearing the order, all the soldiers did not hesitate at all and retreated from the vicinity of the post station like a tide.
Sun Fei didn't stop and chased after them all the way into the post station area.
There were more than twenty envoys from various countries who came to Chambord City this time. They were all accommodated in the guesthouse area. Sun Fei had not had time to meet the Prince and envoys of various countries before, so he was not very familiar with the environment. He had no choice but to let the Big Black follow the underground He Shengzhen all the way in.
Such a commotion quickly alarmed the envoys in the post station area.
"Who dares to cause trouble here?"
"How dare you! Prince Highness is already resting. Who is courting death?"
"Arrest him..."
Arrogant shouts echoed from the courtyards on both sides, but Sun Fei and the Big Black were too fast for most people to see what was happening. They only saw a gust of wind rush past and then the booming sound faded into the distance. Some experts did see what happened, but the aura that the man and the dog exuded made them give up their intention to continue following.
After chasing for about two hundred meters, He Shengzhen slipped into a large and magnificent stone fortress courtyard ahead and stopped running.
"It seems we've found the source."
Riding on the back of the Big Black, Sun Fei swiftly leaped over the four-meter-high wall and rushed into the courtyard. Dozens of guards immediately rushed out, but the strongest among them was only One-Star Warrior. Under the pressure of Sun Fei's surging, ocean-like aura, they stood still, finding it difficult to even breathe, let alone shout or step forward to stop him.
Woof woof woof!
The Big Black sniffed around and barked wildly toward a stone fortress hall in the distance of the courtyard.
Third update.
