My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 81: Joining Forces to Annihilate the Bottom? (Please Subscribe)

A lazy voice filled with anger sounded.

"Hahaha!"

As the voice fell, a deep sinister laughter followed, responding, "I can't compare to you, Chairman Wu. Chairman Wu has been in White Water for over a month, but still couldn't find where you were hiding."

"What's the matter? Did Shi Dajiang cause such a big commotion, killing so many people just to lure me out?" Wu Qian coldly shouted.

"Haha, you got half of it right."

Shi Houzhong chuckled in a low voice, "Luring Chairman Wu out is one, exterminating these bastards from the 'Life Society' is two, and disrupting your conspiracy is three!"

"How about it, Chairman Wu? How's this answer?"

"Not good!" Wu Qian said coldly, "Shi Dajiang has grand ambitions, but unfortunately, with your strength, I'm afraid you can't even achieve one goal!"

"That's not necessarily true," Shi Houzhong said with a strange smile.

...

Black Wind Pirates! Life Society!

Finally, Chen Wuji knew the name of the forces that Shi Jiang, the man with the hooked nose, and the man with white eyebrows belonged to.

Born with an iron plate?

No, it's the Life Society!

And these days, there have been killers specifically targeting the Life Society, wielding the "Killing Sword" with black aura and a black sword. They are not to be underestimated.

They were once members of the Shi Family Fort!

After betraying the Shi Family Fort, they became the leaders of the Black Wind Pirates!

The leader's name is Shi Houzhong.

Chen Wuji suspected that he might have attracted Shi Houzhong.

Previously, on the official road, Chen Wuji wiped out a squad of over thirty Black Wind Pirates.

After receiving the news, Shi Houzhong came specifically to investigate.

As a result, he discovered that the members of the Life Society were secretly gathering in White Water County.

From their conversation, it could be heard that Shi Houzhong held a deep grudge against the Life Society.

Because of this, Shi Houzhong secretly killed one member of the Life Society after another.

Until tonight, when he was caught by "Chairman Wu," he revealed his extraordinary skills and exposed his identity.

"Black Fiend Mantra? Demon Wind Palm?"

"These two martial arts sound murderous."

Chen Wuji's gaze flickered as he suppressed his aura to the extreme.

...

"What do you mean?" Wu Qian coldly shouted, "Shi Dajiang, did you bring reinforcements?"

"No reinforcements, but I do have a friend," Shi Houzhong grinned and smirked, "That friend under the attic can come out now."

Chen Wuji, "..."

He was hiding in the shadows under the attic.

But how was he discovered?

He clearly suppressed his aura to the extreme and held his breath. How could he still be discovered?

"Or is there someone else hiding nearby?"

"Is Shi Houzhong calling someone else?"

Chen Wuji didn't move and continued to lurk.

However--

"Don't hide."

As if knowing what Chen Wuji was thinking, Shi Houzhong chuckled strangely, "I'm talking about you. There are only three of us nearby. Chairman Wu didn't notice you because he's not capable. But my 'Demon Wind' sensed you the moment you approached."

Chen Wuji, "..."

It really was him!

What kind of magical wind is this, to be so extraordinary!

"Hmph~"

Before Chen Wuji could react, Wu Qian shouted coldly. True Qi condensed around his body, turning into a white light, shooting towards the area below the attic where Chen Wuji was.

Swoosh!

Chen Wuji decisively dodged and left the attic.

"Boom~!"

A loud explosion.

The attic shattered, and broken wood and tiles flew in the air, falling to the ground.

Hoo!

Hoo~

Chen Wuji, who had left, didn't stop at all. He displayed his lightness technique and swiftly darted into the distant street.

"Hey, hey, don't run away."

Seeing this, Shi Houzhong hurriedly followed, using a moving tornado to chase after him.

"Want to leave? Have you asked me first?"

Chen Wuji's face turned pale, and amidst his angry shout, he leaped into the air and chased after him like lightning.

Whoosh! Whoosh~

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh!

For a moment, the sound of breaking wind echoed in the night, splitting into three groups.

Chen Wuji ran at the forefront.

Shi Houzhong was in the middle.

Wu Qian landed at the back.

The three of them flickered like electric lights, passing through alleys and streets, rushing through the county town.

Then, stepping on the city wall, they arrived outside the city.

Chen Wuji's speed kept increasing, soaring higher and higher.

He moved agilely through the mountains and forests, diving into wherever it was dense.

But Shi Houzhong, who was behind him, always stuck to him like a shadow.

Chen Wuji accelerated, and so did he.

The distance between the two of them remained around twenty zhang.

"Boom!"

After crossing two hills, there was a chaotic forest ahead. Chen Wuji indeed erupted with True Qi, enhancing his speed.

Instantly, the speed of his movement skyrocketed threefold.

Pushing Chen Wuji's whole body, he shot out like teleportation, entering the chaotic forest and disappearing.

"Hey!"

Shi Houzhong saw it with his own eyes. His figure suddenly flickered and disappeared in the same spot, leaving no trace.

Hoo~

Wu Qian, who was chasing after them, froze in mid-air, his face becoming increasingly ugly.

"Damn it!"

"Damn bastards!"

Bang! Bang!

Wu Qian's palms were surrounded by True Qi as he struck the ground, creating large craters, with soil flying and rocks falling.

"You can't run away, can't run away!"

Roaring in frustration, Wu Qian's face darkened as he lazily turned around and walked back.

That's right.

He...

Lost track of Shi Houzhong.

...

"Hoo!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Transforming into lightning, swiftly shuttling, the scenery on both sides rapidly retreated.

The oncoming night wind was torn apart.

After crossing three hills in one breath, Chen Wuji slightly slowed down.

"Aren't you running anymore?"

At the right moment, Shi Houzhong's sinister laughter sounded from behind.

Chen Wuji, "..."

Who the hell is this guy!

He actually hasn't shaken him off and is still chasing after him.

"Your proficiency in lightness skills is indeed remarkable. In terms of cultivating lightness skills and body techniques, I am far inferior," Shi Houzhong slowly spoke, "Unfortunately, your level of lightness skills is average, unable to fully utilize the advantages of the True Qi Realm. But it's different with my Gale Boots. As long as I have enough energy stones, I can even catch up to the Ascending Heaven Realm. It's not something that can be achieved just by erupting with True Qi, you know."

Gale Boots!

A speed-type Treasure Weapon?

Chen Wuji's heart sank.

Swish! Swish~

As his figure flickered, he suddenly stopped and stood on a hillside, facing the moonlight, looking at Shi Houzhong.

"After chasing me for so long, what do you want?"

Even before leaving, Chen Wuji had already adjusted his bones and put on the "Qin Shubao" disguise.

At this moment, facing Shi Houzhong, he was both cautious and curious.

Through his senses, Chen Wuji realized that Shi Houzhong didn't show any ill intentions towards him, let alone murderous intent.

"Is that so?"

Shi Houzhong also stopped and stood on top of a tree, grinning, "Chasing after you, at first, was just a subconscious action. After all, who told you to suddenly run away."

Chen Wuji remained silent.

Shi Houzhong didn't mind and continued, "But after chasing for a while, I found that your proficiency in lightness skills is impressive, and your cultivation is not weak. So, I had a clever idea."

"That is, we join forces and eliminate Wu Qian and his 'Reincarnation Society.' How about it?"
