Bam!

 At that moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded.

 This gunshot happened to hit Guo Yue’s arm, making him howl in pain.

 Who opened fire? Did they not care about Guo Yue’s life?

 This abrupt gunshot made the police and civilians fall into a temporary peace. Everyone surveyed the area and finally spotted the culprit.

 A middle-aged woman, with her hair in a bun and an ugly expression on her face, was aiming a sniper rifle and pointing it upwards.

 That was Guo Yun!

 Bam!

 Another shot sounded, hitting Guo Yue in the chest.

 She did not care about whether her younger brother was dead or alive.

 Guo Yun lowered the rifle and shouted at the police with a solemn expression, “Guo Yue was bewitched by the Demon Race’s spy and I killed him. I command all of you to lift your sniper rifles and kill the Demon Race’s spy, Lin Yun!”

The majority of the policemen did not believe her words, so they remained unmoved. However, a portion of the policemen had done too many bad deeds. They had no choice but to do as Guo Yun ordered. In any case, she would have to take responsibility when the time came.

 Therefore, rifle bullets flew over continuously. Lin Yun hid above Guo Yue, using the latter as a meat shield.

 “Guo Yun, you b*stard! I gave you so much money, and yet you wanted to kill your own younger brother!” hollered Guo Yue angrily.

 “I know that you like Dongfang Sheng, which was why you wanted to treat Dongfang Ruoxue well. Then, you can use her as an excuse to approach him. Let me inform you now: it’s useless! Dongfang Sheng’s wife has indeed died, but there’s no way he will like an ugly woman like you who can kill her own brother.”

 Bam!

 A bullet hit Guo Yue’s forehead, forcing him to shut up.

 Guo Yun lowered the rifle with her lips quivering in anger when she sensed the spectating crowd criticizing her. The one secret she had buried deep in her heart was exposed by her own brother. Dongfang Sheng would definitely look down on her if he knew what happened today.

 Lin Yun! The blame was on Lin Yun!

 He defeated her beloved disciple at the Skynet ring.

 He tricked Dongfang Sheng to kill her only good friend at the dense forest.

 He forced her to kill her only brother by exposing her matters.

 Guo Yun became increasingly angry the more she thought about it. She wished she could eat Lin Yun alive. Taking out a red bullet and inserting it into the rifle, she slowly aimed at the gold stand currently supporting Lin Yun’s body.

 “Boom!”

 Just as Lin Yun curled into himself and used Guo Yue’s fat carcass as protection, a huge explosion occurred a short distance away. The gold stand shook, and he almost fell from it.

 An explosive bomb?

 Alarmed, Lin Yun used his supervision to look below, and he happened to see Guo Yun insert a red bullet into the rifle.

 “Boom!”

 An explosion sounded. The gold stand supporting Lin Yun and Guo Yue started to become slanted. Lin Yun saw that a crack had formed on the support of the stand, making it seem as though it was about to break apart.

 Should that happen, Lin Yun would definitely plunge from 100 meters above ground and be pulverized.

 Yet, with a gloomy expression, Guo Yun took out another red bullet and inserted it into the rifle as well.

 Lin Yun grew anxious and broke out into cold sweat, for he would soon be falling from a 100-meter height. Given that his body was only at Level 4 Physical Strength, he would definitely plummet to his death!

 Who could save him at this time and place?

 “Yo! Seems like I arrived just in time!”

 Like a gust of spring wind, a sweet voice caressed Lin Yun’s heart. He hastily looked up and saw the smiling face he had been looking forward to seeing again.

 It was Feng Ke.

 Feng Ke controlled a small helicopter, which she used to hover in front of Lin Yun. She smiled, revealing two buck teeth. “What are you waiting for? Come on up.”

 Lin Yun felt as though he had consumed a popsicle on a hot summer day. He had never once thought that Feng Ke would come to save him. There were so many things he wished to talk to her about.

 However, this was not the time to chat.

 “Boom!”

 Another gunshot sounded and the gold stand emitted a cracking sound. The crack then expanded like a spiderweb.

 Lin Yun kicked the gold stand and jumped into the helicopter. Just then, the stand broke and fell into pieces. Guo Yue’s carcass swiftly dropped onto the ground below, becoming a meat pancake.

 From the window of the helicopter, Lin Yun saw Guo Yun insert another explosive bullet, seemingly intending to shoot the helicopter down.

 “Sit tight! We’re speeding up!” Feng Ke’s sweet voice traveled from the control room.

 In the very next second, the helicopter swiftly lifted, became a little black dot, and disappeared into the sky.

 Finally safe, Lin Yun relaxed. Immediately, he felt hungry and tired. It was only then that he realized that he had not eaten for several days. “Rumble rumble.” The complaints his stomach made caused Feng Ke to giggle.

 “There are some snacks behind your seat.”

 Following Feng Ke’s directions, Lin Yun took out a pile of snacks, which he quickly gobbled down. Although these snacks were extremely delicious, he was simply too hungry. Due to his family’s poor financial status, he could never buy such things.

 With his mouth full, Lin Yun inquired. “How did you know that I was there?”

 Feng Ke smiled and replied, “Song Junming informed me on the Skynet. He said that he wanted to take Li Tian, Dongfang Ruoxue, and I along to save you. Upon hearing that, I quickly started my helicopter and flew here. If we relied on him, you would already have died.”

 Song Junming?

 Lin Yun’s heart warmed. He did not expect that Song Junming would be the first to notice the abnormality in his Skynet status. It was impressive that Song Junming would ignore the dangers of being wanted by the police and gather people with the intention of saving him.

 Lin Yun suddenly realized something and asked, “This helicopter belongs to you?”

 “Yes. What’s wrong?” Feng Ke replied casually.

 “It took less than three seconds for this helicopter to rise to a 1,000-meter height from a 100-meter height. Yet, I sensed absolutely nothing. I assume that this is the one and only such helicopter in the entire Clearwater City?”

Feng Ke laughed and explained, “This is nothing but a vehicle. I even have a few space fighter jets. My dad told me that he will give me a master-ranked mecha as my 18th birthday present.”

 Lin Yun was dumbfounded when he heard Feng Ke’s words.

 As the name suggested, the space fighter jet was an airplane capable of engaging in battles in space. The speed of such airplanes was calculated in terms of light-years. The lowest-quality space fighter jet would cost at least a billion Alliance Dollars, which would be more expensive than the price of the entire Clearwater City.

A master-ranked mecha was an even rarer item. Master-ranked meant that only a Spirit Master could cause substantial damage to the mecha. In other words, anyone who controlled a master-ranked mecha did not have to fear the attacks of a Spirit Master, including Spiritual Attacks with a Level 9 Spiritual Strength.

“Could it be that Feng Ke is a member of some large family of the Human Alliance, which is why she’s so rich? If that’s the case, why did she choose to join the desolate Clearwater College?”

 As Lin Yun was contemplating, he suddenly sensed the helicopter shake slightly.

 “What’s wrong?” Lin Yun woke up from his stupor and hurriedly asked.

 The smile on Feng Ke’s face swiftly disappeared. She pressed her lips tightly together and replied with a frown, “A fighter jet is attacking us from behind.”

 The fighter jet was an airplane specially designed and created for battles. It was armed with weapons, and its speed was faster than that of an ordinary helicopter. Despite the fact that Feng Ke’s helicopter was made of high-level parts, it was still incapable of shaking off the fighter jet behind.

 Lin Yun turned around and spotted a black fighter jet trailing some hundred meters behind. Through the transparent cockpit window, he saw Guo Yun’s crazed eyes.

 “Oh no! Guo Yun has caught up to us.”

 The fighter jet Guo Yun was controlling continued to speed up, catching up to Feng Ke’s helicopter in an instant. At the same time, the two muzzles on the jet’s wings flashed with light.

 “Da da da!”

 Countless bullets flew out from the jet’s wings in two continuous streams toward Feng Ke’s helicopter.

 Feng Ke hastily controlled the helicopter to evade in a zigzag motion, as though it was a sparrow trying to avoid being captured by an eagle.

 Nonetheless, the fighter jet was built specifically for battles. It was not difficult to destroy a civilian helicopter. An opening then suddenly appeared at the bottom of Guo Yun’s fighter jet and a tracking missile flew out.

 “Oh no, it’s a thermal-tracking missile! We need to jump!” shouted Feng Ke anxiously as she lowered the altitude of the helicopter.

 There was a stretch of dense forest below the helicopter. After looking closely, Lin Yun discovered that it was the Blue Sea Forest, the venue of his trial.

 “Let’s jump! The tracking missile is about to hit us!”

 Feng Ke pulled Lin Yun’s hand. Then, they jumped from the helicopter and dropped toward a dense tree. In mid-air, Lin Yun tightly hugged Feng Ke to his chest, taking damage from the branches in her stead.

 “Bang, Kwang, Bang…”

 Lin Yun dropped down from the sky while hugging Feng Ke, the path blocked by countless branches. After breaking many of them, he landed heavily onto the soft fallen leaves.

 “Hey, Lin Yun. Can you let go of my hand already?”

 Feng Ke’s face turned red in Lin Yun’s warm embrace. Her voice was extremely small.

 Lin Yun could only feel pain from all over his body. He found himself unable to move, despite wanting to loosen the embrace. With an apologetic tone, he said, “I’m sorry, but I’m in so much pain I cannot move. Why don’t you get up yourself?”

 Feng Ke shifted slightly, causing Lin Yun to hiss in pain. She felt extremely apologetic, for these injuries were inflicted on him because he wanted to protect her.

 Hence, Feng Ke murmured, “Then, you can continue hugging me. Let go when you’re feeling less pain.”

 She immediately explained, “You’re injured because of me, and I’m afraid that it will hurt you to untangle your arms. Don’t think too much into it.”

 Lin Yun heard Feng Ke’s soft murmur and smelled the fragrance emitting from her short black hair. He felt drunk. It seemed as though all the pain and wounds on his body disappeared, as he felt the sensation of a young girl’s soft body pressing against his own. How wonderful would it be if he could hug Feng Ke like this forever? It felt like a beautiful dream he was unwilling to wake up from.

 “Hmph. Your relationship is quite good.”

 All of a sudden, Guo Yun’s cold taunt sounded from the dense forest beside them. She then walked out of the forest while holding a long-barrelled shotgun.

 Lin Yun and Feng Ke immediately separated, their faces turning red as if a secret of theirs was exposed. In the next moment, Lin Yun pulled Feng Ke behind him and stared at the enemy before them.

 Guo Yun’s ghastly pale face contorted as she slowly lifted the long-barreled shotgun she was holding.

 “Then, I’ll be merciful and send both of you to your deaths.”
