After two intersections, Kuri Aoki started to panic. The explosive power of a top S-class was definitely not something a high-end SUV could compare to, but in terms of endurance, even ten top S-classes would not be able to outrun a sedan.
San Wu still hadn't caught up. Could she have gotten lost?
The rows of houses in front of her were broken. There were no more buildings for her to jump from. There was a skyscraper in front of her. Only Iron Man could reach that height.
Kuri Aoki made a quick decision. After a short sprint, she pounced on the speeding SUV.
The SUV was moving at a high speed. It felt like an F4 racing car on the wide street. As if sensing the threat from above, the SUV drifted from the left lane to the right, the tires screeching as they scraped against the ground.
Kuri Aoki missed. She should have fallen on the hard street. Fortunately, she had been trained in ninjutsu since she was a child, so she was able to deal with these small accidents.
Clang!
Kuri Aoki unsheathed her sword and slashed at the back of the SUV. Using the slight resistance, Kuri Aoki flipped in the air and landed on the roof of the car.
She rushed to the driver's seat, flipped her sword, and stabbed downwards.
The sharp blade pierced the interior of the car. The next moment, the car lost its balance and crashed into the green belt by the side of the road, flipping over.
As the car flipped, Kuri Aoki landed not far away. She held the hilt of her sword and breathed slowly, releasing an invisible sword aura.
Wherever the sword aura passed, the air twisted and boiled.
Boom!
The SUV exploded, and flames shot into the sky.
Such a huge commotion on the street late at night would have alerted countless people if it had happened in the downtown area.
But this was the port, filled with foreign trade companies, warehouses, hotels, and other service organizations. It was far from the residential area.
Half of the car suddenly moved, and the next moment, it was hurled at Kuri Aoki.
Kuri Aoki dodged it easily. She saw a burly man with a medium build rush out of the flames. His decent suit was smoking and burning. He had a buzz cut, a square face, and his skin had a metallic sheen in the flames.
The real Digger Zhenren.
He looked around, as if he was searching for something. After a while, his gaze landed on Kuri Aoki. "You're the only one from the Aoki family?"
"Can't I?" Kuri Aoki could feel the contempt in his tone and could not help but puff out her chest.
"You overestimate yourself." Daoist Master Dig River shook his head. Suddenly, he heard a "boom", and the ground beneath his feet caved in, forming an exaggerated crater.
Enlightened Master Digger River's figure was still dozens of meters away a moment ago, but in the next moment, he was already in front of him.
So fast!
Kuri Aoki had no time to make any extra movements. She instinctively raised her sword to block.
Ding!
The fist landed on the blade. The famous blade in the history of the Aoki family was bent exaggeratedly, almost breaking in half. Kurumi borrowed the force from the blade and floated away.
For a beautiful girl who knew her own limits, she could feel that there was a big gap between the two of them in just one move.
His opponent was a muscular tyrant with double A strength and speed. At most, his attack was sharper than his opponent's.
Blood Descendants who trained hard in the way of the sword would always be at the forefront in terms of attack power. Kurumi Aoki was a master of the sword, so she had great confidence in this aspect.
"But his superpower restrains me very much, so I can't fight him head-on. I have to wait for San Wu to come."
The two of them exchanged blows quickly, their figures flashing across the street. A whirlwind blew, and mud exploded, causing great destruction.
Daoist Master Dig River's fist bent the Tri-Flower Demon Slash again, and the blade slammed into Kurumi Aoki's chest, causing her heart to stop.
Why isn't San Wu here yet?
Kurumi Aoki glanced at her watch. From the start of the chase to the start of the fight, it had not even been three minutes. Moreover, the two of them had not exchanged blows during the chase, so San Wu would not be able to tell where they were going.
San Wu was a foreigner, so he was not familiar with the roads. He might even get lost.
She still needed to stall for time, but Daoist Master Dig River would not give her the chance.
Daoist Master Dig River took a deep breath. His muscles bulged, and the sound of cement cracking could be heard from beneath his feet.
What should I do?
Kurumi Aoki had two ways to deal with this.
One, she could use her inferior movement technique to stall for time and wait for San Wu to come to her rescue.
Two, she could fight him to the death.
The first method seemed like a wise move, but she placed her hopes on San Wu. Kurumi Aoki had only known her for a short while, and they were only temporary companions. They did not trust each other to the death yet.
The second method was too risky, and she might lose her life here.
The Ghost Beast's successor was crippled, so she could not be injected.
Just as she was thinking, Daoist Master Dig River's attack arrived. He relied on his indestructible body and lightning-fast speed. It seemed fierce and barbaric, but it fully displayed his advantage and countered the Kendo Grandmaster's' ingenuity '.
A strong wind blew against her, but Kurumi did not retreat. Instead, she leaped into the air and pounced at Daoist Master Dig River, spinning her body like a spinning top.
The two of them collided in an instant.
Ding ding ding!
Sparks flew from Daoist Master Dig River's chest, and the ear-piercing sound of metal colliding could be heard.
In less than a second, Kurumi Aoki had slashed out dozens of times, and each slash landed on the same spot.
A short second later, Kurumi Aoki was sent flying.
Daoist Master Dig River snatched the Tri-Flower Demon Slash and threw it with all his might.
The long blade pierced through Kurumi Aoki's body and nailed her to the wall in the distance.
Daoist Master Dig River, who was about to finish her off, felt his ears twitch. His expression changed slightly, and he turned to run, sprinting along the long street.
There was no time to finish him off. With the speed of the Li family, if he did not run now, he might be caught.
No, even if he ran now, there was a high chance that he would be caught.
Before his companions arrived and spread out the net, he had to experience a dangerous escape. If he could survive it, he would be able to join forces with his companions to deal with the Li family's successor.
If he could not survive it, the entire village would have to eat at his house.
As soon as he left, San Wu's figure appeared at the corner of another street. She looked left and right, and soon saw the miserable Kurumi Aoki. She was nailed to a six-meter-tall wall, writhing in pain and struggling to move her limbs.
San Wu leaped up lightly and pulled out the Tri-Flower Demon Slash. She carried her to the ground and placed her on the curb.
"He ran that way. With your speed, it shouldn't be hard to catch up to him. Remember to go up to the roof, it'll give you a better view." Kurumi Aoki clutched her abdomen, spitting out blood as she spoke.
San Wu nodded, his gaze landing on her shocking wound.
"I won't die. I didn't hit any vital parts." Kurumi Aoki waved her hand, her beautiful face pale.
It was painful, so painful that she wanted to cry. However, for a top S-class, this kind of wound was not fatal. But in the following days, she would lose the ability to fight.
"Are you lost?" Kurumi Aoki blinked her bright eyes.
"…" San Wu blinked his bright eyes as well. He did not speak, only looking at her.
"I understand." Kurumi Aoki sighed.
She really was lost. It was probably only when she started fighting with Daoist Dig River that she sensed the fluctuation of energy and followed her.
"Tell Li Xianyu that I'm going home. I'll go to Tokyo in a few days when I'm better," Kurumi Aoki said, pointing at her chest. Just as she was about to speak, she realized that San Wu had disappeared.
She crawled to a parked car, not leaning against it, and took out a needle and thread from her wallet to stitch up the wound on her abdomen. With the precision of a kendo master, the wound on her back was not a problem for her.
After stitching up the wound, she looked at the blade that had been with her for half her life. There was a small chip on its blade.
The Aoki family's top five swords, after more than a century of its life, had finally been injured.
The Aoki family was a large family in the Bloodline World. At its peak, it was far more powerful than it was now. The Tri-Flower Demon Slash was born during that era.
It was slightly shorter than a normal blade, and was originally the blade of the family head's wife.
Every generation's wife would give it to their daughter-in-law. In the modern era, the position of the family head was no longer passed down from father to son. The Tri-Flower Demon Slash was no longer the standard for the wife of the family head.
Kurumi Aoki destroyed the car's door, skillfully started the engine, and drove the car away.
Yokohama was not far from Hakone, so she planned to drive home herself.
Digging River Sage leaned against the front passenger seat of the truck, gasping for breath.
The short battle did not last more than five minutes, but he had gone all out without holding back. It had consumed a lot of his physical and mental strength.
He looked down at the wound on his chest, which was a few centimeters deep. It was the wound caused by the spinning top.
The wound was not deep, and it would heal in a few hours without leaving a scar. But for Digging River Sage, who was on the run, it was a great threat.
According to the description in wuxia novels, he had already broken through.
His steel body would no longer be flawless, and the wound on his chest would become his weakness.
The younger generation would surpass the older. A girl in her twenties could actually break through his supposedly invincible defense.
"I can't leave Yokohama yet, or else no one will be watching them. As expected, they have come to Yokohama, and there are not many escape routes. If they chase me, it will be a waste of time.
"They probably won't keep chasing me. The news has already spread, and the ruler will soon return to Yokohama. Together with our sniping on land, the descendants of the Li family will be surrounded by enemies. Of course, that's if I can survive."
The driver's face was stiff, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. From time to time, he glanced at the burly man in the driver's seat.
He was originally a cargo driver at the dock. The goods at Yokohama Port were mainly crude oil, cement, steel, natural gas, cars, and other large goods.
Apart from transport trucks like his, there were very few vehicles near the port in the middle of the night, so he had become the target of the criminals.
This criminal was very strange. After getting into the car, he took out a pistol and pointed it at the driver's head. He did not steal the goods, but only told him to stay away from the port, without giving him the address.
At this moment, the driver suddenly heard a sharp whistle.
In the rearview mirror, he saw a trail of smoke rapidly approaching.
