If the mission was delayed because of such a trivial matter and the target escaped from the city, they might not even know how they died!
However, before the car could start again, the two of them were stunned. Their brains seemed to have stopped working, and they were motionless. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and deep fear.
The young man standing in front of the car was still smiling. He merely stretched out a hand and waved it at the car.
The two of them watched as the things on the ground became smaller and smaller. Then, the car flew hundreds of meters into the sky, accompanied by two miserable screams.
At that moment, the two of them finally reacted. They looked at the ground that was getting further and further away from them and started struggling in fear.
At the next moment, the two of them stopped struggling almost at the same time. Their expressions of fear kept expanding until it covered their entire faces.
Their trembling hands and feet seemed to be telling them about their respective masters’ fear and panic.
Where was this?
They were at least 500 meters in the sky. If they were to fall at this moment, even if they were martial artists, they would probably die.
Even if they managed to survive, they wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of being severely injured and crippled.
Moreover, judging from the current momentum, it didn’t seem to be weakening at all. They definitely wouldn’t be able to stop at 500 meters.
The two of them leaned back in their seats and fastened their seatbelts with trembling hands. Then, like frightened birds, they closed their eyes and prayed.
Their pitiful looks were a stark contrast to their muscular bodies and rough expressions.
A thousand meters up in the sky, Wang Yi’s palm strike seemed to have exhausted all its power. The car stopped in mid-air for a moment before crashing down towards the ground.
The friction between the car and the air created a terrifyingly high temperature that caused the entire car to turn red as if it was about to burn.
The sound of whistling could be heard within the car. As the temperature of the car continued to rise, the two of them seemed to be unable to withstand the immense mental pressure. Their eyes rolled back, and they both fainted.
Then, the car disintegrated in mid-air, turning into countless fragments.
Meanwhile, a transparent shield suddenly appeared around the two unconscious men, preventing them from turning into dust like the car and surviving.
Their bodies were like feathers as they gently landed on the ground without making any sound.
Wang Yi pursed his lips as he looked at their wet pants and the frightened expressions on their faces that had yet to disappear.
How could he learn to be a bad person when he was like this?
If not for the fact that he had infused a surge of true qi into the car when it was in the air to protect the two men at the critical moment, there would probably be two corpses lying on the ground.
No. If not for that surge of true qi, their corpses would have been reduced to ashes in midair, just like the car.
It wasn’t that Wang Yi had suddenly become kind and decided to let them go.
Initially, he had wanted to kill these stalkers. How could he change his mind so easily? It was just that now was not the time. He needed them to survive to settle some things.
With a casual wave of his hand, the thick wave of true qi transformed into two formless hands that lifted up the two people on the ground.
Then, Wang Yi walked into the dojo with his hands behind his back, still smiling. The two of them floated behind him and followed him into the dojo.
In the private suite, Fang Mingze had yet to return. Wang Yi was sitting leisurely on the sofa with his legs crossed, humming a tune from his previous life.
Meanwhile, the two unconscious people were lying on the broken floor.
On the fourth level of the dojo, Fang Mingze had just walked up when he was shocked by the scene before him.
The door to the fourth floor was already wide open, and a group of people stood at the door. The one leading them was the owner of the Tuling Dojo, the peak Rank-6 martial artist, Zhang Tuling. Behind him was a group of Battle Warrior Rank teachers.
They looked as if they were welcoming someone important.
However, Fang Mingze did not lose his composure. He quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands. “Greetings to Owner Zhang and the teachers!”
“Mingze, you’re too polite. Since you’ve already broken through to the Battle Warrior Rank, you and I can address each other as peers. If you don’t mind, just call me Old Brother Zhang!”
Zhang Tuling said with a smile, without any air of superiority.
After saying that, he grabbed Fang Mingze’s arm and walked into the room, appearing especially intimate.
Zhang Tuling could not be blamed for being overly enthusiastic. If Fang Mingze was still at the Battle Soldier Rank, even though Zhang Tuling would take care of him on the account that he was the young master of the Guardian’s Residence, he would not have treated him like this.
However, it was different now. Fang Mingze had broken through to Rank-4. Although he had just stepped into the Battle Warrior Rank, he was indeed in the same realm as Zhang Tuling.
When one considered Fang Mingze’s identity, as well as the fact that Zhang Tuling had a favor to ask of him, it was not unusual for Zhang Tuling to be polite.
At the same time, Zhang Tuling wanted to test the waters. The moment he grabbed Fang Mingze’s arm, an almost imperceptible stream of true qi flowed into Fang Mingze’s body.
After all, the difference in strength between the two was too great. Fang Mingze was completely unaware of this.
However, this test set off a massive wave in Zhang Tuling’s heart.
Was his foundation weak? Was his future path cut off? Was his growth rushed?
The answer to these questions was—none of the above!
Although Zhang Tuling had yet to advance to the Grandmaster Realm and did not possess spiritual energy, he could sense Fang Mingze’s state through the stream of true qi.
The terrifying strength of his body, his incomparably wide meridians, and his thick true qi didn’t make him look like he had just broken through.
In his current state, he was probably comparable to a martial artist at the middle of Rank-4. If the two competed, Fang Mingze’s chances of winning were even greater than him.
However, what puzzled Zhang Tuling was that he had never heard of a martial arts treasure that could greatly increase the strength of its user without harming their foundation!
The world was huge. Just because he did not know about such a treasure did not mean that it did not exist. Perhaps this was the reason why the Guardian acquired such a precious treasure.
Regardless of whether such a treasure existed or not, it was a fact that Fang Mingze had already advanced. Furthermore, he was very strong. Even the depth of his foundation far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators!
With this in mind, Zhang Tuling became more approachable towards Fang Mingze.
Meanwhile, Fang Mingze was momentarily unable to adapt to this treatment. In truth, he was already at the Battle Warrior Rank and could be considered an expert.
After all, he did not expect to have such a great opportunity today. Breaking through had been too easy and too dreamy.
“Owner Zhang, you can’t do that. I am a junior. How dare I call Owner Zhang by such a name!”
As Fang Mingze followed Zhang Tuling into the house, he quickly waved his hand in rejection.
Meanwhile, Zhang Tuling put on a straight face and pretended to be angry. “In the world of martial artists, the accomplished are the masters. Since we are in the same realm, how can there be any juniors?”
