CHAPTER 2: The Gun is Faster Within Seven Steps
Chen Chu looked around but did not pursue the rebel soldiers; instead, he turned to look deeper into the small town.
For him, killing those ordinary rebels was of no use.
But the cultists were different; each one was worth contribution points.
When the cultists ahead were being chased by Pang Long and others, Chen Chu observed carefully and found that a few of them were not very fast, their auras only at the second or third level of heaven.
Thinking of this, Chen Chu's figure vanished with a swoosh, rapidly running and appearing in front of a three-story building several dozen meters away in the blink of an eye.
Boom!!
Leaping five meters high, Chen Chu stepped onto the edge of the windowsill, launched himself into the air again, grabbed the outer eaves of the wall, and flipped onto the roof of the third floor.
At this moment, chaos reigned everywhere, and standing at a high place meant he didnât have to worry about being shot at by hidden snipers.
Under the dark red sunset, standing atop the tallest building in the small town, Chen Chu scanned the surroundings and spotted Pang Long and the othersâ figures to the east of the town.
At this time, only four of the ten cultists remained; Pang Long suppressed two of them while the other two were being chased by two teachers, each pursuing one.
As they moved, true power sword energy slashed out from their palms, flying over ten meters away, and upon hitting the ground, exploded like high explosives, causing buildings to collapse, which was quite terrifying.
Seeing this, a hint of regret flashed in Chen Chuâs eyes. He thought he would be able to pick up some spoils, but he didnât expect those weaker cultists wouldnât last even a few minutes.
No, there were only five bodies along the way.
Chen Chuâs gaze suddenly paused slightly; following the traces of Pang Long and their battle through the small town, he only saw five corpses, one short.
âThere!â With a loud boom, Chen Chu leaped from the small building, crossing several meters to land on the rooftop of a flat house opposite.
Then his figure landed, resembling a black shadow as he rushed quickly towards the other side of the town, disappearing into the streets in the blink of an eye at an astonishing speed.
Meanwhile, as Chen Chu jumped down from the distant building, Pang Long, who was engaged in battle, glanced back.
Seeing that he was chasing the escaping cultist, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
On the edge of the western small town, a cultist dressed in a black robe rushed out, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath, his face pale and blood at the corner of his mouth.
After breaking out of the town, the cultistâs expression relaxed instantly, revealing excitement as he looked at the distant forest. As long as he entered the woods ahead, he could escape back.
He could inform the fanatical believers that this ambush was a trap.
Thinking of this, Kross felt a rush of spirit, but suddenly his expression changed, and he lunged to the left.
Just as Kross dove to the ground, a long knife shot through the air like a cannonball, making a piercing whistle, and âbangâ heavily struck a tree trunk over ten meters away.
The tree trunk, half a meter thick, was directly pierced by the long knife, going all the way to the handle, and the force caused the branches to shake violently.
Had Kross reacted just a moment slower, he would have been pierced and killed by that straight knife.
Over thirty meters away, Chen Chu stepped heavily out of the small town, his gaze cold behind the mask, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Kross, with a grim expression, climbed up from the ground, looking at Chen Chu, his expression gradually turning frantic as he sneered: âYou, a first-year student at the second level of heaven, dare to chase me? Youâre looking for death.â
He knows Iâm a first-year student. Chen Chuâs eyes narrowed slightly; he also felt todayâs ambush seemed unusual.
At this moment, a mad aura erupted from Kross, revealing his hands and face, which had red worm-like patterns, emitting an eerie red glow.
