Chapter 52

Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang.

A cold voice came from the other end of the line: "The prey has fallen into the trap."

After hanging up, he grabbed the phone with force, shattering it to pieces.

Liang Jian Shan glanced at the flat-headed man and the other two, and said, "Stay here and wait for instructions."

Liang Jian Shan drove away alone, descending the mountain road.

After Hero exited the college gate and confirmed there were no pursuers, he slowed down the car and said to Sister Xue Man in a casual manner, "The people behind us have been shaken off. Have you decided where to go? Otherwise, I really will take you to a random place."

As the car slowed down, Xue Man released her grip on Hero, only then did she subconsciously think of that person. She had someone in her heart, yet she had hugged someone else by a twist of fate. Xue Man gazed at the sky for a moment.

At this moment, her phone rang; the person in her heart was calling.

"Hello, Xue Man, it's been a year, how are you?" Liang Jian's voice came from the other end of the line.

Hearing that voice, which once held a magical charm for her, Xue Man felt an urge to cry and pour out her heart. It was the source of her tears causing this. In the end, she did not cry, and no tears fell. Instead, she said in a very calm manner, "I'm fine. How about you?"

Listening to such a calm and simple dialogue, the other end of the line fell silent for a few breaths before saying, "I'm sorry, I've been away for too long."

Xue Man just smiled quietly, a silent smile that conveyed an indescribable longing, faint and elusive. It seemed that the other party lacked the past heart-to-heart connection.

The silent bitter smile was a kind of quiet helplessness that made one shiver.

"Where are you? Can you take me away? I don't want to go back," Xue Man asked.

The other end of the line was silent for a moment before saying, "I miss you, so I came back and drove over as soon as I could."

Xue Man suddenly saw a blue sports car at the next corner, recognizing it immediately. She said, "Jian Shan, I see your car. Wait for me there."

The blue sports car parked by the roadside, and a young man with sharp eyebrows and a handsome face stepped out.

The moment Hero saw the young man get out of the car, he frowned. His professional instincts kicked in, and he naturally noticed the young man's movements. If a sniper wanted to ambush him the moment he emerged from the car, the success rate would be almost zero. Only veterans who had fought on the battlefield for years would develop such an anti-sniper habit.

From a distance, he sensed the aura emanating from the young man, a killer who had come through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood! If Hero had seen the calluses on his tiger's mouth, he could have determined that this was a knife-wielding superpower: a Destroyer.

Throughout history, superpowered individuals have been divided into four major categories based on their innate characteristics: Destruction, Life, Nature, and Machinery.

The seduction category is a product of the sect era and is considered a minor category.

Those who practice the Destruction category are called Destroyers, those who practice the Life category are called Life Masters, those who practice the Nature category are called Nature Masters, and those who excel in using machinery are called Machinery Masters.

Superpowered individuals who are naturally adept with firearms are Machinery Masters, and the firearms category is a sect within the Machinery category.

Liang Jian Shan also subconsciously looked at Hero. He couldn't tell if Hero was a superpowered individual, but Hero gave him the feeling of a human-shaped raging bear.

When their eyes met, Hero grinned, which was a greeting. He had no interest in getting to know such a dangerous individual and didn't care whether he was sending the pretty female student to a wolf. He couldn't just point a gun at the girl and say her lover was a white-eyed wolf.

His intuition told him that this young man was no good.

Hero's combat vehicle approached the young man. Just as he was about to stop, he heard the roar of an engine behind him. Before he could determine the source of the engine's roar, he was instantly locked onto by a powerful killing intent.

This startled Hero, almost making him exclaim, "What the hell, a super-powered combat body!"

From the killing intent filled with destruction, he determined this was a Destroyer!

Although Hero liked hand-to-hand combat, his main focus was on the natural creation path, making him a true novice Life Master. His hand-to-hand combat skills would be crushed to nothing against a super-powered combat body level Destroyer.

This time, it was Hero's pursuers who had caught up. He couldn't figure out which god he had offended. He could only attribute it to the charm of the item from the Hua family.

From the moment he felt the killing intent lock onto him to the moment the killing intent pierced his bones, only two seconds had passed. A fire-red sports car was already a hundred meters behind Hero, and at this speed, it would catch up in less than two seconds.

Seeing the girl's lover just ten meters ahead.

Hero didn't hesitate to stop or not, and instantly accelerated to supersonic speed. The body of the EX-01 car was instantly illuminated with patterns, and a pattern like a roaring blood bear was activated. Hero felt his inner breath decrease by half, as if it had been swallowed by something. Using patterns during the awakening of superpowers was a real pain, and using the same pattern consumed twice as much energy as a super-powered combat body, with effects less than one-tenth of what a super-powered combat body could achieve.

To save his life, even if it was a bottomless pit, he had to jump.

Without hesitation, Hero extended dozens of roots into a bottle of small essence pills, and with a strong pull, he absorbed half the bottle's medicinal power.

As the combat vehicle's speed surged, Hero also went berserk. With a roar like a raging bear, his soul pattern was activated.

It seemed he treated these small essence pills like candy.

Hero's pure yang inner breath rushed into the engine like a flood. A pattern in the engine was also activated, and the pure yang inner breath transformed into boundless kinetic energy output.

Hero's combat vehicle streaked past Liang Jian Ying, disappearing from his sight in an instant.

Liang Jian Shan was finally too late, exclaiming in shock, "A superpowered individual?"

Seeing the meat that was about to be in his mouth fly away, how could Liang Jian Ying allow this to happen?

Another streak of shadow passed by Liang Jian Shan.

As the fire-red sports car passed by Liang Jian Shan, he felt the super-powered combat body-level ground spider inside the car and asked, "What's going on?"

"Could others have found out she is the guardian saint maiden of the Secret Realm of the Mystic Mirror?"

Liang Jian Shan mistakenly thought someone was coming to take his share. Without thinking, he got back into his car and chased after them, dialing his phone and saying to the person on the other end, "Plan One failed, execute Plan Two."

As Liang Jian Shan also activated supersonic speed to chase, three sports cars emerged from a dense forest, heading straight for Hero.

This time, it was truly a tiger in front and a wolf behind. Half of the people Liang Jian Shan brought were super-powered combat body-level experts.

In the driver's seat of one of the combat vehicles, a woman with a red bandana around her head asked curiously, "Deputy, what's the situation?"

In the earpiece of the flat-headed man in another blue combat vehicle, the voice of the woman with the red bandana came through. He was the temporary deputy of this action team.

The flat-headed man sneered, "That guy didn't keep a good eye on his girl."
