Chapter 268 Another Breakthrough

It was peak hour now. Xiao Bing found it very difficult overtake the car. Also, once they get to the mountain road, it would be even harder.

So Xiao Bing asked Wu Tian to pull over, then he opened the door. Seeing Xiao Bing about to get out, Wu Tian said in surprise and worry, “Dragon Master, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to help me?”

He was really afraid about Xiao Bing deciding not to help because though he’d only spent a short while with this man, he knew that Xiao Bing was much stronger than him. If he had Xiao Bing’s help, he would have a higher chance of rescuing young master and Missy. If Xiao Bing left him alone, he might only be capable of saving one. After all, the enemies might be armed…

Xiao Bing got out of the car and glanced at Wu Tian, “Go to Tongda Road first. My phone number is 1360011X20. Call me when you arrive. If I don’t answer, text me. Your car is too slow. I will run over there.”

Wu Tian gasped, so did Yu Wenhua who was on the other end of the phone.

“Run there? Are you insane?” Wu Tian asked in shock.

As a master of Concealing Strength Stage, Wu Tian thought he had seen enough. But he had never met someone who could run faster than a car.

A moment later Wu Tian found that Xiao Bing had disappeared. He looked further and spotted a figure that grew fainter and fainter. Wu Tian rubbed his eyes as if he had seen a ghost. He was drawn back to reality by the sirens behind him. “I never thought he’d be this unfathomable,” he murmured to himself.

The strength of an innate master was beyond the limits and understanding of normal people. While talking to Yu Wenhua on the phone, Xiao Bing was running at an insane speed. Sometimes he even stopped to ask strangers for directions. But they all looked like they’d seen a ghost.

It would have taken at least half an hour for Wu Tian to catch up with the car. Xiao Bing took only ten minutes. But they were all in the suburb now. Xiao Bing was relieved he caught up in the nick of time because if they made it to the woods, even the police would not find them.

The men in the van never imagined that someone would catch up with them on foot. Besides, Xiao Bing was hiding in the shadows of the roadside trees the whole time, which made it impossible for the men to notice him.

At this time, Xiao Bing was already sure that he could stop the vehicle since he’d found it and they were in the suburbs. “I’ve found the car, ” Xiao Bing said on the phone and hung up.

Xiao Bing was only worried about the hostages being harmed if he stopped the van. So he waited patiently, during which time he called Wu Tian to tell him he’d caught up with the vehicle and will wait till it came to a stop before taking further action.

Wu Tian gave a sigh of relief before saying, “Dragon Master, you have to save young master and Missy. I just called their father and he said that he will hugely reward anyone who saves them.”

Xiao Bing was a little unhappy about this. He already had too many things he needed to attend to and he didn’t want his identity exposed. He tried to keep a low profile but found it almost impossible.

However, he knew Wu Tian was afraid that he might be held responsible if he didn’t tell the family, so Xiao Bing didn’t blame him. “That’s unnecessary. Just drive the car to the suburb. I’ll call you when I’ve rescued them. Then drive over here and pick us up.”

Wu Tian was about to tell Xiao Bing he wanted to help, but Xiao Bing had already hung up. He didn’t need more people around and it’s possible that Wu Tian won’t reach here in time. He had to do this alone.

But Xiao Bing did not expected the van to keep going even after he’d run alongside it for half an hour. Xiao Bing felt that they had driven out of Harbin.

“Damn! Are you kidding me?” Xiao Bing could not help cursing.

It was about an hour since Xiao Bing began running after this car. Though Xiao Bing’s body was at the level of the innate, he gradually felt his blood heating up and his body burning.

Xiao Bing wiped sweat off his forehead as he ran after the car. As time went by, the power inside Xiao Bing began to spin faster and wisps of heated steam started emanating from his body. He didn’t know if it was the mysterious hidden force or the sealed power.

Xiao Bing wiped sweat off his forehead as he ran after the car. The power inside Xiao Bing began to spin faster and wisps of heated steam started emanating from his body. He didn’t know if it was the mysterious hidden force or the sealed power.

One reason for this breakthrough was the power within him evolved after spinning for some time, making it purer. Also, the mysterious wisps coming from him diffused and then converged with Xiao Bing’s own power. Hence, Xiao Bing successfully reached the middle stage of Elixir-strength.

“Perfect! I wasn’t expecting to step into the middle stage of Elixir-strength before the final war. It seems that the gods do favor me.”

Xiao Bing never thought he’d be this lucky. But on second thoughts, he felt it was reasonable. Twice, he nearly completed this discipline. This meant he had the advantage in every aspect. Even the prodigies of martial arts could not compare to him. He would make progress fast before he reached the level of Void-breaking.

However, Xiao Bing was not in a hurry to stop the vehicle. After the breakthrough, Xiao Bing felt an abundance of energy within. Xiao Bing believed he could run for another two hours. But he didn’t want to spend too much time running. After all, he planned to return to Jiang City tonight to be with Yezi. Nowadays, no matter what situation Xiao Bing was in, he always thought of Yezi first.

The power of love is great.

The car drove a long way after passing Harbin’s border. Trees on the roadside got denser as the road narrowed. Finally the car stopped in the woods.

Sitting behind a giant tree, Xiao Bing observed the van. He dared not get closer, for fear of being discovered. But he could see clearly enough, given his superior eyesight.

Doors of both the driver and co-driver opened first after the van stopped. Two men got out. One was wearing black sunglasses and a leather jacket and the other was clad in overalls. The one in the leather jacket was the driver. He looked strong and sturdy.

The man in the leather jacket opened the rear door. Then two men in ragged overalls pushed the two siblings out. Another man jumped out after them.

Five men in total.

Xiao Bing rubbed his nose. From his gait, his eyes and the bulge on his temple, Xiao Bing could see that Leather Jacket was quite powerful. He surmised that this man might even be of Transforming Strength. Though the other four seemed less powerful than him, they could be considered as masters of Clear-strength. It looked like they had done this kind of thing many times before.

Xiao Bing believed he could take all five men down if he decided to do it now. But they were very close to Luo Xiaomi and her brother. Xiao Bing had to make sure that the siblings would not be harmed.

Luo Xiaomi and Luo Hao were tied with ropes. They fell hard on the ground after they were pushed out. Luo Xiaomi’s forehead hit a rock and a bruise soon appeared. Tears instantly filled her eyes. She had always been the princess of the family and was never treated like this before.

But Luo Hao seemed unyielding as he struggled on the ground. “Let us go. Do you know who we are?” Luo Hao shouted angrily.

“Of course we do. You are the young master and Missy of the Luo Family.” Leather Jacket sat casually on a big rock while the other four sat around the siblings.

Luo Hao bellowed, “Yet you dare to kidnap us? My grandfather will take revenge.”

Leather Jacket sneered, “I would not have planned this if you weren’t from the Luo Family.”

Luo Hao flared, “Damn you!”

The man sniggered again, “What a tough little lad. You guys, teach him a lesson for me.”

The four exchanged looks with each other before looking at Leather Jacket. One of them said, “Brother Wan, we will be exchanging them later. It won’t be good to hurt them.”

“I don’t see anything wrong in it. ” The man who was called Brother wan sniggered, “The employer only asked us to capture them alive, not unharmed. Just don’t use too much force. We will bring the kids to them later.”

“As you say!”

Two of them lurched to their feet and gave Luo Hao a vicious look. Shocked, Luo Hao yelled as he struggled, “What are you doing? Let me go immediately!”

The two men didn’t answer him. They kept kicking the poor boy. Luo Hao writhed in pain as his sister watched tearfully. “Don’t beat my brother. I beg you. Please don’t hurt him!”

Xiao Bing rubbed his nose as he watched. “I didn’t think this arrogant boy could be so unbending!”
