Chapter 153: Now You See? (2/2)

“I… I do not know Guild Leader… ah, what I mean to say is… I do not know where they are hiding,” Nagase Komi quickly said.

“I do not need you to tell me that,” Tian Lie grinned. “Relax, I will find them soon enough.”

TIan Lie suddenly leaned close to Nagase Komi’s face, nearly coming into contact with her nose. He then whispered. “Let me show you something fun. Do you like magic?”

“Ma… magic?”

Tian Lie snickered. Next, he stared into Nagase Komi’s eyes and abruptly shouted aloud. “BANG!”

Tian Lie’s action shocked Nagase Komi and she quickly shrank back her head. Then, she heard Tian Lie issuing a long laugh.

Subsequently, Nagase Komi watched as Tian Lie, who was standing before her suddenly dissolve away!

Tian Lie’s body had transformed into a clump of light that resembled silvery liquid!

Next, countless faint silver coloured streams of data flowed out at a rapid pace in every direction! The streams of data seeped into the ground, into the surrounding houses, walls, buildings…

The countless streams of data kept flowing out at a rapid pace and soon, they all disappeared.

“Go… gone?” Nagase Komi stared with wide-open eyes.

…

“How much longer?”

“A little more than an hour,” Chen Xiaolian anxiously checked the time and said in a low tone of voice. “Maybe we are lucky and he is unable to locate us.”

Chen Xiaolian knitted his eyebrows as he carefully examined their surroundings, turning his gaze back and forth the street.

At that moment, his face suddenly contorted and he shouted loudly. “Look there!”

On both sides of the street, the metal fences, metal frames of the houses, the cars parked by the street… and even the walls of the tall buildings…

Streams of data appeared, flowing through them!

The streams of data flowed through the metal materials… unfortunately for them, this city was covered with metal!

“It is Tian Lie!” Chen Xiaolian’s face sank and he abruptly shouted. “Bloody Hell! He has this type of trick up his sleeve! We need to move!”

As he said that, Chen Xiaolian had already started up the car. Then, he stepped down heavily onto the throttle of the car and the car roared out before charging its way out from the parking lot.

Countless streams of data flowed in from every direction and they converged in the middle of the road. In but moments, Tian Lie’s figure appeared!

Observing the car roaring away from him, Tian Lie curled the corners of his lips. He then got into a posture of an athlete that was getting ready to start running. “I am coming!”

He bolted forward, taking great strides each as he sped across the street like a whirlwind!

“He is coming!” Roddy who was looking at the rear view mirror shouted out. “Damn it! His running speed is just too fast!”

Chen Xialian gritted his teeth. He had already stepped on the throttle until it reached its limit.

Seeing a crossroad before them, Chen Xiaolian abruptly turned the steering wheel, causing the whole car to drift into the other street! Roddy shouted out in shock as his body was thrown onto the door. From there, he was able to see the curve shaped tyre marks left by the car.

“Holy shit! Your driving skills have improved a lot!”

“Stop spouting nonsense!” Chen Xiaolian shouted loudly. “Help me keep an eye on him!”

“I got him in my sights!” Roddy shouted as he gazed at the back of the car. “He is still chasing us!”

“Damn it!”

Chen Xiaolian slammed heavily down onto the steering wheel.

At that moment, countless streams of data gushed forward from the buildings on both sides of the street! The streams of data converged together and moved after them like a surge of flood water!

This was not the only street where such a scenario was taking place. If one were to observe the city from the skies, one would see that within this city area, the countless streams of data were rapidly rushing through large tracts of the city area. Those streams of data then came together as it moved toward them!

“In front!”

Roddy suddenly exclaimed loudly, pointing to the area of the street ahead!

A stream of data flashed through the surface of a traffic light and the traffic light collapsed as a result, falling onto the middle of the street!

Chen Xiaolian cursed out loudly and he quickly turned the steering wheel, veering the car to the left and into a small street. Along the way, they smashed through two trash bins and an iron wire fence!

Their car finally charged out from the other end of the street and into another main road. Observing the surroundings, Chen Xiaolian noticed a five to six-storey building emitting the sounds of metal twisting.

The streams of data flowed past the building, following which the building then collapsed down! It was as though an invisible axe had cleaved the building into two!

A loud rumbling sound resonated outward as the tall building collapsed down onto the road, blocking the way.

All the roads were sealed!

Chen Xiaolian glanced at the rear view mirror and saw that Tian Lie had already caught up. Chen Xiaolian shouted. “Roddy, hang on tight!”

Like a wild horse, their car rushed toward the surface of the building that was now lying upon the main road!

The car smashed directly through the building’s glass wall, its body jolting as a result before charging into the interior of the building!

Inside the car, Chen Xiaolian and Roddy felt as though they were charging through a raging sea. The car smashed its way through several doors and walls…

Thankfully, the tall building was a frame structure building and the walls of the building was not too strong. The car that they were in smashed its way through the interior of the building before finally smashing its way out from the other side!

The car landed, the tyres scraped against the ground and even the bumper fell onto the ground, causing a long line of sparks to burst forth.

Before Chen Xiaolian could release a sigh of relief, the expression on both him and Roddy fell!

On the road before them, the earth suddenly shook and a crack appeared upon the ground!

Suddenly, a huge piece of the ground suddenly rose up!

Streams of data flowed through a metal pipe fixed beneath the ground and the metal pipe had abruptly twisted upward, causing the ground before them to crack apart in half!

The crack upon the road was at least two meters in width!

“Charge forward!” Roddy yelled.

Chen Xiaolian pushed the car to its highest speed and it flew up, leaping through the sky…

It managed to cross the crack upon the road. However, as the car landed, a bang could be heard and the car suddenly skidded.

“The tyre burst!” Chen Xiaolian roared out as he attempted to control the steering wheel. Unfortunately, he was unable to bring the car under control and it swerved into a house at the left side of the road.

With a boom, the hood of the car popped upward and the body of the car slammed into the wall. Then, the car’s engine died…

“Cough cough cough…”

Both Chen Xiaolian and Roddy were pressed onto by airbags. Chen Xiaolian tore off the airbag, kicked the door of the car outward and stepped out.

From the other side of the car, Roddy too was climbing out from the car.

As the two of them were straightening themselves, they saw Tian Lie smiling as he leaptthrough the crack on the road. After landing, Tian Lie then sauntered toward them.

“Hello again, little rookie Guild Leader,” Tian Lie’s eyes were fixed onto Chen Xiaolian. “Back then, you asked me if I have an immortal body, right? Well… now you see!”

1. The sentence in the raw actually translates to “Even the ads you get when watching shows on PPTV is longer than that.” PPTV is a peer-to-peer streaming video freeware that is quite popular. While it is not quite similar, the only Western equivalent I can think of is Youtube.
