Chapter 757: Jumping off the Building

[Audience Expectation +3]

"Is it coming for me?"

Seeing this scene, Lu Xun frowned and immediately looked down at his watch. "It's only been ten minutes... And I didn't leave any clues. How did they find me?"

"Even in this era, there are some capable people."

Chen Ling's voice was very calm. After all, he had just fought with Nie Yu, a top-tier hunter, so he wasn't surprised by this kind of remote tracking method.

He looked at the speeding helicopter, his hands under his sleeves slowly clenching into fists, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Shall I take care of them for you?"

"No... no, they have several 'Black Hands,' and they can probably use heavy weapons. Yang Xiao and I don't have any attack capabilities yet. If we fight now, we're at too much of a disadvantage."

Lu Xun frowned as he watched the black behemoth roar toward them, his brain quickly making his own judgment,

"Let's avoid the fight for now and leave here first."

Hearing this, Chen Ling raised his eyebrows slightly. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, fighting here will also affect the people below. This is a commercial street."

"...True." Chen Ling glanced at the bustling street below. "I can only take one person. You should be able to leave on your own using the galactic tide, right?"

"I can. Director Chen, let's meet at the Huangcheng Temple."

The next moment, three figures ran toward the edge of the rooftop at the same time!

Buzz buzz buzz—

The helicopter in the distance gradually approached, and a blinding beam of light shot out from it, illuminating the rooftop terrace.

"Director, we found Dr. Lu!" Inside the cabin, someone pointed at the rooftop and said.

The Director immediately leaned against the porthole, squinting his eyes to look at the dim rooftop. He saw three figures running rapidly on it; even the lights on the helicopter could barely capture their figures.

"What are they doing?"

"Jumping off the building!! Director!! They're going to jump off the building!!!"

"What????"

In the Director's horrified gaze, the pale beam of light swept across the edge of the rooftop, and three figures jumped off at the same time!

The whistling wind swept past their ears, blowing their clothes up. The glass windows of the skyscrapers reflected their afterimages, which looked like black lightning, falling toward the earth...

Their speed was too fast; even the lights on the helicopter couldn't keep up with their falling figures. They were like arrows walking between light and shadow, shot out from the string!

And the arrows were pointed at the sea of neon formed by endless neon lights and taillights!

Yang Xiao could feel his heart beating wildly in his chest, an unprecedented sense of weightlessness wrapping around his body... He looked at his side in a panic.

He didn't know why he jumped off the building... It was just that Chen Ling pulled him and said to jump, so he jumped.

As for whether he could survive after jumping, Yang Xiao had no idea.

Lu Xun, on the other hand, was very calm. He let his body free-fall from hundreds of meters in the air, spreading his arms in the air as if he were about to fly, his eyes filled with countless brilliant stars.

"...Receive me."

A whisper sounded.

The next moment, his figure melted into the outline of a miniature galaxy in the air. The starlight seemed to intertwine with the extraterrestrial universe, disappearing bit by bit, until only a breeze remained, sweeping across the shade of the trees on both sides of the street.

At the same time, Chen Ling's palm suddenly reached out, grabbing Yang Xiao's arm, and then stepped hard into the void!

[Cloud Step]!

Chen Ling seemed to have stepped on some extremely solid step, using the force to turn in the air, taking Yang Xiao to draw a right angle in the night in an instant, and then crashing into the glass curtain wall of the pitch-black building opposite!

The broken glass scattered like stardust. The helicopter roared past the building, but no matter how the white light searched, it couldn't see a single figure...

"Director, they... they..."

"You don't have to tell me, I can see." The Director frowned tightly. "The one who turned into stars just now should be Lu Xun... Then who are the other two?"

"It was too dark just now, I didn't see clearly."

"To be able to escape after jumping from such a high place, they must also be Divine Path possessors." The Director rubbed his chin with one hand, thoughtful. "Lu Xun actually knows Divine Path possessors... I just don't know if they are 'Black Hands' or 'White Hands.'"

"Director, what now?"

The Director didn't answer, just calmly took a note from his pocket, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry about the other two, Lu Xun is the most important. The Master has already calculated his next transfer location in advance, and our people are already on standby there... This time, he won't be able to run."

The note was gently opened in the Director's hand, and an address jumped onto the paper:

——Huangcheng Temple.

……

The night grew thicker.

The city lights gradually dimmed, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians. In a corner of the district lined with high-rise buildings, a temple stood quietly in the darkness.

It was late at night, the temple had long stopped opening to the public, the monks had long since fallen asleep, and the whole temple was dead silent.

A ray of brilliant starlight fell from the firmament, intertwining into a human figure on the stone floor. The faint starlight illuminated a corner of the dim temple. After a brief pause, a man in a black shirt walked slowly from behind the wall.

Lu Xun let out a long sigh, his eyes unable to hide his exhaustion.

Using the galactic tide continuously tonight was still too much of a burden for him, a newcomer who had just reached the second tier. His mental power was nearing exhaustion.

Fortunately, this time, that group of people shouldn't be able to find him so quickly.

The movement ability brought by the galactic tide allowed Lu Xun to cross more than ten kilometers in a very short time. Even Chen Ling couldn't arrive at the same time as him. It should still take some time for him and Yang Xiao to rush over...

Lu Xun didn't disturb anyone, just walked alone in the temple.

He passed through the dim corridors, passed the ancient bell for blessings, the bronze furnace full of incense ash, and one locked Buddhist hall after another... Lu Xun didn't know where he should go. Perhaps he just wanted to take a walk. The surroundings were so quiet that only the rustling of the wind blowing through the grass and trees remained.

Finally, Lu Xun stopped in front of a Buddhist hall.

Perhaps it was the monk's negligence, the door of this Buddhist hall was not locked, the solemn door was half-hidden, and no light came from inside.

Lu Xun hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed open the door,

A slight creaking sound rang out, and the starlight behind him spilled onto the ancient floor tiles of the Buddhist hall, as if plated with a layer of faint silver.

In the darkness, a tall and magnificent Buddha statue slowly appeared before Lu Xun's eyes...

The statue's body was so huge that the starlight could only illuminate half of its body, and the shoulders, including the head, were shrouded in shadow, mysterious and solemn.
