365: Chapter 163: If You Didn’t Do It, Why Are You Running?
Originally, if he hadn’t sped up, Wang Yunxiao’s heart wouldn’t have been entirely certain.
After all, he wasn’t a professional detective, and in that situation, he could only make choices based on his experience and then stick to his judgment.
But once the car accelerated, Wang Yunxiao felt as if a weight had been lifted from his chest.
If you’re not guilty, why would you look in the rearview mirror and step on the gas?
Even though the car was speeding up, his own pace was just as swift.
Having cultivated the “Ten Thousand Mountains and Rivers” to the second layer, both the True Qi within his body and the Light-Body Technique had greatly enhanced Wang Yunxiao’s physical abilities.
Now, describing himself as light as a swallow wasn’t an exaggeration at all.
He leaped over rooftop after rooftop, rapidly closing in on the vehicle.
The driver of the car was clearly starting to panic.
His speed increased, and a pedestrian who couldn’t dodge in time was struck and sent flying.
Even so, there was no sign he intended to slow down.
Wang Yunxiao jumped and landed firmly on the roof of the car, his feet crashing through it with a crunch.
Car roofs from that era were far from as sturdy as those in later times, but it was fortunate he broke through, for standing unsteadily on top of the car would have made it easy to fall off.
Two shouts of surprise came from inside the car.
Without a word, Wang Yunxiao punched down hard, smashing the roof into pieces, and tearing through the damaged metal to reveal the situation inside.
What he saw head-on was the black muzzle of a gun.
Wang Yunxiao’s head buzzed.
It wasn’t fear, but the moment his attention was drawn to the gun barrel, an invisible, intangible hammer brutally smashed into his mind.
This was a Mental Impact!
Wang Yunxiao groaned, a sweet metallic taste filling his mouth as blood ran down from the corner of his eyes.
Even so, he persisted, driving the piece of metal he had ripped off into the shoulder of the driver behind the wheel.
A scream rang out, and the car suddenly swerved, crashing into a shop by the roadside.
The storefront was narrow, and caught off guard, Wang Yunxiao slammed into the signboard and was flung from the car.
“Big brother…”
A familiar yet uncertain voice reached his ears.
Wang Yunxiao weakly waved his hand, signaling that he was mostly alright, and pointed towards the inside of the shop.
The timely arrival of Eryang and Guozi eased the pain in his body.
Taking a deep breath and standing up, Wang Yunxiao rubbed his temples and, with difficulty, opened his eyes to see Guozi and Eryang pulling two people out of the car.
One of them was the driver whose shoulder he had punctured with the metal.
That man was now unconscious and bleeding from the head.
The other man, who had been sitting in the passenger seat, tried to struggle and resist, raising his gun and threatening loudly, only to have Eryang chop at his hand and disarm him, pinning him to the ground.
Just two people?
That’s it?
Did I chase the wrong person?
A wave of regret and astonishment flashed through Wang Yunxiao’s mind.
Immense frustration surged through him, causing him such intense agony that he involuntarily fell to his knees.
No…
these guys don’t seem like they could have issued the Mental Impact from before.
And now I’m hit again!
Struggling to get up, Wang Yunxiao caught a glimpse of Guozi and Eryang also collapsing to the ground, reeling.
The man who had just retrieved the gun got up, snatched back his firearm with a vicious smile, and pulled the trigger…
You think I’m a sick cat just because I’m not showing my claws?
Bang—!
The man who had fired the gun covered his bleeding wrist with a grim smile on his face, “You damn little bastard, do you know who your grandpa is…?”
The next moment, a huge fist had already appeared before his eyes.
At that moment, he was as fragile as a baby, sent flying by the punch and slammed into the wall behind him.
Yet the force of the punch had not dissipated and, relentlessly and unreasonably, it snapped the ribs in front of his chest, driving straight into his body.
Wang Yunxiao pulled his blood-covered right hand out of the limp body, wiped the blood and tears from his face, and looked around coldly, saying in a deep voice, “Those who know what’s good for them will stand out nicely and stop playing tricks.
Otherwise, your grandpa here will not rest until you’re dead today!”
No one answered, only the onlookers who had gathered around to watch the excitement.
Wait, watch the excitement?
Wang Yunxiao turned and glanced behind him, at the shattered shops and the twisted, deformed cars, at the Eryang lying on the ground whose life and death were unclear, and the body that he had punched through.
What’s there to be excited about?
Aren’t you all afraid?
“Nobody come any closer!”
Wang Yunxiao roared, but to no avail, the onlookers were like possessed, completely ignoring his presence, drawing nearer while pointing and whispering.
Had they also been subjected to mental suggestion?
When?
It’s so damn annoying, the enemy didn’t dare show his health bar and only hid, playing these kinds of scheming games.
The enemy most likely hadn’t run away, or had not found the right opportunity to escape with Li Mumu.
If he really had the ability, Wang Yunxiao would not be able to do anything to him if he managed to slip away unnoticed.
But taking Li Mumu with him, the difficulty increased tenfold.
Not understanding why Wang Yunxiao could catch up and not knowing what cards he held, the enemy dared not make a rash move.
In the flash of lightning just now, there had been no opportunity for them to exit the vehicle.
The likeliest possibility was that they were still hiding in the car, specifically in the back seat, and then used some kind of blinding trick to prevent Wang Yunxiao from seeing the two people.
If it weren’t for the concern over Li Mumu’s personal safety, Wang Yunxiao would have blasted the car to smithereens with one punch long ago.
But now, unable to see anyone, he was hesitant, even afraid to glance at the back seat more than necessary for fear of letting the enemy notice his change of psyche.
And so, the situation was at a stalemate.
The enemy dared not get out of the car, and Wang Yunxiao dared not go in.
“Big brother…”
Guozi walked up behind Wang Yunxiao and whispered, “Eryang has been shot.”
“I saw it, don’t touch him.
Wait for Little Gourd to come.”
Before Wang Yunxiao had finished speaking, a woman suddenly stepped out from within the crowd of onlookers and screamed, “Murderer!
I’m going to fight you!”
Her words seemed to flip a switch, and the surrounding crowd instantly became agitated, swarming towards him.
In that moment, it was as if each person was filled with strength and a sense of justice, wanting to transform into superheroes to punish the wicked and eradicate evil.
An intense sense of justice filled their brains, suppressing their original rationality and making them completely ignore the fact that what separated them from Wang Yunxiao was not an online connection, but the air of the real world.
“What the hell are you howling for!”
Wang Yunxiao glared with his eyes and with a backhanded slap, struck the woman’s face, “Laozi is Wang Yunxiao, everyone squat on the ground with your hands on your heads!
Whoever dares to make noise again, I’ll kill their entire family!”
With a loud shout, the place fell silent.
The notorious name of Scar Wang could stop children from crying at night in Nantong District of Tianmen City.
Any mental suggestion was dispersed by the most primal fear.
