Footsteps. Slightly heavy.
Even as Lu Ping rushed into the fifteenth alley of Fu Left Street, this was the message he heard. As expected, there was a pedestrian walking towards the entrance of the alley. Seeing Lu Ping suddenly rush into the alley with Morin on his back, he was startled and hurriedly dodged to the side, his body pressed against the wall.
Lu Ping did not care about how fast he was and directly rushed past him.
Seven steps …
Five steps …
Three steps …
As he approached, Lu Ping did not stop using Ming's Courage to strengthen his hearing. However, when he was three steps away from the pedestrian, he suddenly heard a strange sound that he had never heard before.
It sounded like wind, but also like flowing water. Coupled with the intermittent gap, Lu Ping could not figure out what it was.
But it was very close, extremely close.
From three steps, to two steps, to one step …
The sound came from the pedestrian in front of him, but he was clearly pressed against the wall, motionless and panic-stricken, but he could hear the sound coming from his side.
What was this?
Lu Ping did not have time to think. One step away, this was the final gap.
Lu Ping moved sideways. In the end, he had to deal with this strange situation first. As if it was a routine, when Lu Ping moved sideways, the pedestrian also reached out with one hand. However, because the distance was not enough, the hand stopped in the air.
Lu Ping dodged this attack, and the pedestrian's face was no longer panicked. Instead, it was filled with surprise. He could not understand why his hand had missed, and he could not understand why Lu Ping had dodged with one step, which was like an antelope hanging its horns.
He carefully hid his Courage, and his expression was also very well disguised. He really could not figure out how Lu Ping had sensed his attack. If he was just being vigilant, then he should have kept his distance from the very beginning, instead of suddenly taking such an obvious step to dodge when there was only one step left.
Could it be that this brat had sensed his Courage?
Impossible, this was absolutely impossible.
Matsuoka. He was the Fourth Commander of the State Council and was in charge of the Fourth Supervisory Group. The Charge and Cry Souls were connected, and he was an expert in Transformation Esper Abilities. His best Ability, 'Vanish', was a Level 4 Transformation Ability that allowed him to circulate his Soul Energy without leaving a trace. It was perfect to launch a surprise attack.
However, Lu Ping had somehow managed to dodge the attack that he had launched after using Vanish to hide his Soul Power.
How was this possible?
Matsuoka was known as the person who could not be offended in the Council. This was because even the other seven commanders of the Council were all cultivators with two souls connected. However, they were completely unable to detect Matsuoka's silent attack. Therefore, Matsuoka often used this special ability to joke with everyone. He would suddenly cut someone's neck and say, "You're already dead."
This joke really made people's scalps tingle. Imagine if this was not a joke and Matsuoka cut someone's neck like this, they would really be dead.
Yet, such a terrifying attack had been dodged. Moreover, he had done so while carrying a person. He had only been one step away from dodging the attack.
Matsuoka really could not believe it. Could it be that this young man had a Level 4 special ability, Vanish, that was stronger than his own?
Matsuoka could not believe it. Lu Ping himself was not sure. He only knew that his judgment was correct. The sound he heard when he was three steps away was the sound of Matsuoka trying to launch an attack.
What kind of special ability was this? How could it make such a strange sound and only be heard when he was so close? Moreover, even after he had dodged the opponent's attack, the sound did not stop. In the end, the sound disappeared. It was because Lu Ping didn't stop. He dodged it and took two more steps forward. When he was three steps away from the person, the sound disappeared from Lu Ping's ears.
Lu Ping could not help but look back. He had no idea what method this guy in front of him, pretending to be a passerby, had used. He only knew that he could not stop for the time being. He could not go up and discuss with that person. Lu Ping turned his head around to take a look, then continued running forward without any hesitation.
Of course, Matsuoka would not let go. He caught up. But in terms of speed, even if he was a Dual Spirit Connected practitioner, he could not compare to Lu Ping. He watched helplessly as the distance between the two sides increased. And with the Dual Spirit Connected, his hearing was abnormally sharp. He heard from outside the alley that the institute's inspectors were communicating and discussing.
"As expected of Team Leader Matsuoka. That kid did not sense him at all."
"Yes, he must have been taken down by Team Leader Matsuoka."
"No one can avoid Team Leader Matsuoka's Vanish attack."
Matsuoka's face was slightly hot.
Everyone had such high hopes for him, but in the end, he had failed. He did not have the face to look back. He knew that people had already chased him to the entrance of the alley. Because the discussions and praises for him had already stopped. Everyone had probably already seen that the target was still fleeing. And he, Matsuoka, dressed like a normal passerby, could only eat dirt at the back.
He could not find any excuse to dress like this. To dress like this, of course, he was going to ambush and launch a sneak attack.
But, he had failed.
Absolute silence.
The entrance of the alley behind him was completely silent. To Song Quan, this silence was like a whip lashing at him.
Everyone had thought that this was a foolproof plan.
Everyone had thought that if Lu Ping ran into this path, then they would be able to complete the mission.
On this path, Matsuoka was the only one deployed because no one thought that he would fail.
In the end, it was just a missed attack, but it caused Lu Ping to completely break out of their encirclement. The fifteenth alley went all the way out, without any blockades or arrangements. Lu Ping relied on his speed to shake off Matsuoka and all the inspectors of the Institute who had rushed over. He left them behind without a trace. In the end, a group of people crowded at an intersection. Apart from the direction where they came from, there were three other directions. They had no clue which direction Lu Ping had gone.
Matsuoka was among them. No one dared to ask what was going on. In the Institute, Matsuoka was recognized as the person who could not be offended. It was scary enough to make people's scalps tingle with numbness if he made that joke a few more times.
The atmosphere was a little heavy. Everyone remained silent, waiting for Matsuoka to make a decision. Although some of them were not members of the Fourth Inspectorate, everyone felt that it was best to respect Team Leader Matsuoka's words, especially when he was definitely not in a good mood.
However, Matsuoka did not say anything, which made the atmosphere even more tense.
Fortunately, Senhai arrived at this time.
Although he could not do anything about Matsuoka's "disappearance", at least everyone was a team leader. At least he could give everyone some instructions here, so it was not a problem.
However, Senhai was very tactless. He came over to confirm first, "Lost him?"
Was there a need to ask? A large group of people stood at the intersection in a daze. Didn't they lose him?
"Split into three directions and chase him!" Senhai said.
The inspectors immediately moved. They could not stand the tense atmosphere here.
"It's useless," Matsuoka said at this time.
"That kid's speed is very fast, and his perception is very strong," Matsuoka said.
His speed was very fast. Everyone had seen it. In terms of running, none of the four commanders and sixty inspectors that were sent out today could compare to Lu Ping. This was even when Lu Ping was carrying a person.
However, his perception was very strong …
He did have some performance in Fuzuo Street, but when these words came out of Matsuoka's mouth, did it mean that the kid's perception was strong enough to sense Matsuoka's disappearance?
"Impossible!" Senhai, who understood Matsuoka's meaning, was shocked. "What realm is that kid in?"
They did not know this information. He was just an academy student, so they did not think that they needed to pay much attention to his realm.
But now, they realized that they could not be so careless.
To be able to sense the disappearance of a Level Four ability, the other party must at least have a Level Four ability. This was not an ability that could be mastered under normal circumstances.
A group of people were still hesitating. Suddenly, from an alley, another inspector ran out breathlessly. His face was full of fear.
"Not good!" he shouted.
"What's the matter?" Senhai asked.
"Team Leader Dongcheng is dead," the inspector said.
"Dongcheng is dead?" Senhai was shocked. Everyone was shocked.
Dongcheng went to deal with Su Tang alone. Everyone knew about it, but in the end, he was killed?
What was going on with the students from Zhenfeng College?
"It seems that we still need to figure out a lot of things …" Matsuoka said, as if he was muttering to himself.
"Why don't we interrogate the one that Captain Venus caught first?" someone suggested.
