Chapter 55: Secret Murderers!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside the city was monotonous, desolate, and boring.

As the wind blew, the yellow sand followed!

Chu Lingjun released his Electric Field at full force, covering a radius of 150 meters.

There were city guards placed all around the city. They were the maintainers of law and order, the last line of defense against humanity.

Outside the city, there was only one rule — only the strong can prey on the weak!

Therefore, Chu Lingjun tried his best to follow the drone above his head so that he was within the drone’s patrol range when he left the city.

With the drone’s protection, the people in the wilderness wouldn’t dare to make a move on Chu Lingjun.

Chu Lingjun didn’t want to be killed for no reason just because he came out to hunt for some beasts.

After exiting the city gate, Chu Lingjun headed West towards Lianjiang.

Quicksand Town had a tributary that was connected to the Lianjiang River, and Chu Lingjun could go there to interact with the electric eel clone.

The riverbank was bare on both sides. If Chu Lingjun had been there to take the meat, the electric eel clone would have been found.

Therefore, when Chu Lingjun arrived at the tributary of the Lianjiang River, he had to continue walking along the tributary for a few kilometers until he reached a small forest. Only then could he avoid the surveillance of the drones and avoid the eyes and ears of some people.

Chu Lingjun went through this process when he took the meat previously.

“Hmm?”

Just as Chu Lingjun was heading toward the tributary of the Lianjiang River, he noticed that there were two people lingering around his Electric Field.

Chu Lingjun had just left the city when he saw the two of them. At first, he thought that they were going the same way, but later on, Chu Lingjun realized that they weren’t.

He quickened his pace, and so did the two of them. He slowed down, and so did the two of them.

He had secretly turned a few wrong directions just now, and the other party had followed suit.

The most subtle thing was that the two of them kept a distance of 100 meters from him!

They seemed to know not to get too close to him!

Chu Lingjun narrowed his eyes.

During the last monthly exam, Chu Lingjun demonstrated his ability in his Electric Field. The range of his Electric Field was 100 meters.

At this moment, these two people had been maintaining a distance of 100 meters from him!

He had only recently broken through to Late Stage Rank One, so no one knew that the range of his Electric Field had increased from 100 meters to 150 meters!

“Are these two people here for me? Moreover, they understand and know my moves!”

A bolt of lightning struck Chu Lingjun’s mind!

He remembered what his homeroom teacher, Shen Yanhu, had told him not to leave the city for the next one to two months. He was also told to not go to remote places in the city…

It has been more than half a month since the last monthly examination. Chu Lingjun never thought that he would be targeted like this!

He was always very careful when he went out. He always paid attention to whether he was being followed. When he left the city, he even disguised himself, but he was still being targeted!

Chu Lingjun steadied his mind and focused all his attention on the two of them.

The two of them were wearing the usual camouflage combat uniform, leather boots, and black caps.

Their hats were pressed down very low, revealing only half of their chins.

One of them was tall and thin, while the other was short.

The tall and thin man carried a long knife on his back, wrapped in black satin.

The short fatty did not seem to be carrying any equipment, but under his hat, he had a very long nose.

His nose was almost twice the size of an ordinary person’s nose. It was big and ugly.

The two of them were filled with a murderous aura. They were clearly people who had been through many battles.

Judging from the golden light emitted from their bodies, they were both a Late Stage Rank One martial artist!

Chu Lingjun carefully examined the faces of the two people. They were very unfamiliar to him. He did not know them at all.

Chu Lingjun’s gaze fell on their lips. At this moment, the two of them seemed to be communicating something.

“Don’t get too close. We have to keep a distance of hundred meters.”

“Yeah.”

“F*ck this super genius who awakened the power of lightning at the age of sixteen!”

“That’s so damn unfair!”

A cruel and sinister sneer appeared on the fatty’s face. “I hate it when people have awakened powers better than mine. I will definitely end him later!” The fatty did not hold back his jealousy and anger as he spoke bluntly.

The thin man was silent for a moment, but a hint of hesitation and struggle appeared on his face. Then, he said in a low voice, “Damn fatty, do you really mean it?”

Fatty chuckled and looked at the thin man meaningfully. “What’s wrong? Do you pity him?”

“Stop talking nonsense. I said I’d handle him too! But not like that”

“You said you’d attack, so prove it. Who do you think you are saying something all high and mighty?” Fatty stared at the thin man coldly with his inverted triangle eyes and said in a tit-for-tat manner.

“F*ck you! He’s only sixteen years old and has just started his first year of high school this year! What’s the point of torturing such a child?!”

The thin man suddenly erupted. His eyes were red as he stared at the fatty. The blood in his body boiled like a beast that had been forced to a dead end. He let out a low growl!

Fatty was shocked by the thin man’s sudden outburst!

His face turned red and then white. He seemed to have thought of something and snorted coldly without saying anything else.

If he continued to talk back, the thin man would probably end his life.

They were still on a mission, so it was not worth it to fall out at this time.

The two of them continued to move forward slowly. At this moment, they arrived at a small forest on the bank of the Lian River.

Their target, Chu Lingjun, gradually disappeared after passing through a few trees.

Even so, the two of them were patient.

Fatty twitched his nose, and the surrounding air entered his nasal cavity.

His eyes narrowed and his nose twitched as if he was trying to distinguish something.

The next second, he sneered and looked at the drone above him with disdain. “He stopped in the small forest. He should be resting. He chose a good spot. It’ll save us some effort of getting caught.”

“Let’s go and kill him. We should be able to exchange our points for a drop of divine blood ! ”

Fatty’s eyes flickered with excitement.

The thin man nodded silently.

The two of them sped up and quickly approached the small forest.

After passing through the trees, the two of them finally saw a figure resting at the foot of a big tree with his back facing them.

Fatty’s nose twitched again before he nodded at the thin man, indicating that the figure sitting at the foot of the tree was Chu Lingjun!

‘What a wimp. He has no sense of awareness outside the city!’ The two of them thought to themselves.

The two of them didn’t stop walking. They pretended to be ordinary martial artists who happened to pass by.

However, just as the two of them were about to approach Chu Lingjun’s back, the thin man suddenly exerted his strength!

He stomped on the ground with his right foot, causing the ground to explode. His body leaped several meters into the air and pounced toward Chu Lingjun; he was moving as fast as lightning!

The black satin cloth that was tied to his saber had been torn apart at some point in time. A cold light shot out from the cloth!

The thin man slashed at Chu Lingjun with his saber. It was as if he had split a mountain with his strength, and the cold wind whistled!

The long saber successfully struck!

However, the thin man was quickly stunned.

Because in front of him, there was only a piece of clothing supported by a tree trunk!

His clothes were torn in half, and there was nothing inside!

“Ah!”

At this moment, a wail suddenly sounded behind the thin man!

That was…. the fatty’s voice!
