Chapter 90: Successful Escape

After escaping from the cage, the two fled in two different directions.

The situation was urgent. Although they had been friends for several months, they had no time for a formal farewell.

After being detained here for five months, Xu Ning had figured out the approximate layout of the mine camp.

Xu Ning ran towards the fence of the mine camp.

The whole situation was in chaos right now. Xu Ning avoided the oncoming supervisors and guards, and for the first time, no one noticed Xu Ning.

But this only lasted for a short while.

Soon, one supervisor saw Xu Ning escaping.

“A miner is trying to escape!”

The supervisor quickly yelled out loud and pointed in a direction.

Immediately afterwards, the guards and the other supervisors also noticed Xu Ning. Without any hesitation, they rushed towards Xu Ning.

‘I was noticed!’

He was now less than 200 meters away from the fence wall.

After hearing the shout, the guards that were positioned in front of Xu Ning also started to surround him.

Xu Ning suddenly was being flanked from the front and back.

But Xu Ning did not panic. After all, the side of the camp he chose had relatively few guards.

Moreover, those stronger guards of the camp all went to the mine.

This was the best time to escape.

“Catch him!”

A supervisor shouted, “Use him as an example for the others. We will kill him in front of everyone here!”

Xu Ning sneered when he heard this. He bent over and picked up a few stones off the ground.

Xu Ning quickly threw out the stones in his hand.

Xu Ning had been promoted to the state mind realm, so he could temporarily attach his force to the surface of an object.

These stones, which contained his force, directly pierced through the throats of the guards.

Suddenly, Xu Ning saw an opening in front of him.

He accelerated again, knocking down the two front guards, and he soon reached the fence wall.

The wall was about 20 meters high and was covered with sharp iron spikes.

Seeing this, Xu Ning activated his hardened skin, condensing the internal qi in his hands and feet. By doing that, he easily climbed over the wall.

“He’s running away!”

After watching Xu Ning jump over the wall, the supervisor and guards who chased him did not give up.

“Quick, go and gather some men and horses, and continue to chase after him!”

If a miner escaped, the mine camp manager would inevitably hold them accountable.

…

After climbing over the fence, Xu Ning was about to land on the ground, but then he saw a ring of deep pits on the ground.

The pits were filled with spikes.

If he fell into the pit, the spikes would definitely penetrate his body.

But this did not stop Xu Ning. In his leap, he applied his strength to legs and stepped against the wall, jumping across the pit.

‘I finally escaped!’

After five difficult months, Xu Ning finally regained his freedom.

He looked back at the mine camp.

‘One day, I will get my revenge.’

After five months of hardship, Xu Ning’s heart was filled with resentment.

But Xu Ning did not stay around for long. He knew very well that those guards would definitely continue to pursue him.

Xu Ning no longer hesitated. He quickly moved forward.

Outside the mine was a dense forest.

Inside this dense forest, the branches and leaves blocked the sun, and the trees towered over all. In this forest, he would almost always be in the shade.

Xu Ning chose to travel in areas that had lush grass and dense thorns, trying his best to hide his whereabouts.

But those guards sent more than a dozen teams to chase in Xu Ning’s direction.

Xu Ning could hear the sounds of horses galloping behind him. Hearing that, he immediately climbed up a tree and began to hide.

After waiting for the guards to get close to him under the tree, Xu Ning suddenly dropped down and launched a surprise attack.

Xu Ning eliminated a few guards.

‘The strongest guard here is only in the internal qi realm.’

The strength of these guards was not a problem for Xu Ning.

Xu Ning guessed that those stronger guards in the camp must have gone to support the mine.

This was his perfect opportunity.

Afterwards, Xu Ning searched the corpses, which led to him finding a lot of money.

There were not only taels of silver, but also gold.

Xu Ning didn’t understand the currency of State Jifeng, but since he found it, he would obviously take it with him.

Regardless of whether he wanted to find a place to rest for a while, or find a way to travel back to State Feiyun, he needed money.

“Go!”

Xu Ning picked the strongest-looking horse and continued on with his escape.

Less than half an hour later, Xu Ning finally escaped from the dense forest.

However, at this point, Xu Ning’s horse had been running for too long. It was unable to move anymore.

Seeing this, Xu Ning did not hesitate to leave it behind. He dismounted and began walking with his own two legs.

Xu Ning encountered a village twenty miles outside the dense forest.

Although Xu Ning had messy hair, shaggy beard, and dirty clothes at this time, he still did not choose to enter the village to rest.

Xu Ning knew very well that those pursuing guards would inevitably question the people at the village.

‘I’ll first run far away before getting some rest!’

Although he had eaten poorly over the past 5 months, Xu Ning always had a good physique, so he showed no signs of exhaustion at this time.

…

Two days later.

On a mountain road.

A caravan was advancing steadily.

There were more than a dozen guards in this caravan. The head of the guard in front of the caravan had a sturdy body and was full of muscle. He was obviously a powerful warrior.

Ordinary bandits would not even dare to try and rob them.

“What?”

The convoy continued to move forward. Suddenly, the leader of the guards noticed that there was a person standing in the middle of the mountain road.

The man was tall, skinny, ragged and unkempt.

“Whoever is there, get out of the way!”

The buff guard yelled angrily in a stern tone.

After that, he quickly held a machete in his hands.

Outside of Fucheng Canton City, the world was chaotic, who knew if this person was dangerous.

“What happened?”

A small middle-aged man emerged from the carriage behind.

He was wearing a brocade suit and a hat. He looked high-profile.

“Manager, there’s someone blocking the road ahead.”

The buff guard turned around and explained.

The skinny manager reached out his neck and looked over, and when he saw the person’s appearance, he immediately showed a look of irritation. “Kick him to the side. He looks like a refugee.”

“Yes sir.”

The buff guard took the lead.

“Get out of the way quickly!”

As he approached the man, the buff guard waved his knife towards the man, gesturing to him to get out of the way.

“Everyone!”

But to the surprise of the buff guard, the stranger walked over.

This homeless-looking man was Xu Ning.

Xu Ning walked day and night without stopping for two days. BY now, he had completely thrown off the pursuing soldiers.

He had chosen to walk on a path he found to escape, and now he finally ran into people.

Xu Ning wanted to use his money to exchange for some clothes and food.

“Excuse me, I want to exchange some silver for some clothes and food.”

Xu Ning explained his intention.

The buff guard approached and saw that the unkempt man had bright eyes.

Moreover, his words were full of confidence, and he walked very steadily. He was obviously a martial artist, not a refugee like the manager had said.

The buff guard no longer provoked Xu Ning, afraid that Xu Ning would get offended.

“My friend, are you in trouble?”

The buff guard tentatively spoke. As he was talking, he was looking around the mountains.

He was afraid that Xu Ning was here to distract them from horse bandits.

“Sort of.”

Xu Ning said, “Can I buy some clothes and food.”

After saying that, Xu Ning showed the money in his hands.

“Okay.”

The buff guard didn’t find anything wrong with this, so he readily agreed.

“What’s the matter? Why did we stop?”

The skinny manager stuck out his head again. He spoke in an unpleasant tone.

“Well, this brother is in trouble, and he wants to exchange clothes and food.”

The buff guard responded.

The skinny manager sneered. “Not selling! Throw him aside, we have to hurry!”
