Chapter 268 Another Breakthrough (1/2)
It was peak hour now. Xiao Bing found it very difficult overtake the car. Also, once they get to the mountain road, it would be even harder.
So Xiao Bing asked Wu Tian to pull over, then he opened the door. Seeing Xiao Bing about to get out, Wu Tian said in surprise and worry, “Dragon Master, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to help me?”
He was really afraid about Xiao Bing deciding not to help because though he’d only spent a short while with this man, he knew that Xiao Bing was much stronger than him. If he had Xiao Bing’s help, he would have a higher chance of rescuing young master and Missy. If Xiao Bing left him alone, he might only be capable of saving one. After all, the enemies might be armed…
Xiao Bing got out of the car and glanced at Wu Tian, “Go to Tongda Road first. My phone number is 1360011X20. Call me when you arrive. If I don’t answer, text me. Your car is too slow. I will run over there.”
Wu Tian gasped, so did Yu Wenhua who was on the other end of the phone.
“Run there? Are you insane?” Wu Tian asked in shock.
As a master of Concealing Strength Stage, Wu Tian thought he had seen enough. But he had never met someone who could run faster than a car.
A moment later Wu Tian found that Xiao Bing had disappeared. He looked further and spotted a figure that grew fainter and fainter. Wu Tian rubbed his eyes as if he had seen a ghost. He was drawn back to reality by the sirens behind him. “I never thought he’d be this unfathomable,” he murmured to himself.
The strength of an innate master was beyond the limits and understanding of normal people. While talking to Yu Wenhua on the phone, Xiao Bing was running at an insane speed. Sometimes he even stopped to ask strangers for directions. But they all looked like they’d seen a ghost.
It would have taken at least half an hour for Wu Tian to catch up with the car. Xiao Bing took only ten minutes. But they were all in the suburb now. Xiao Bing was relieved he caught up in the nick of time because if they made it to the woods, even the police would not find them.
The men in the van never imagined that someone would catch up with them on foot. Besides, Xiao Bing was hiding in the shadows of the roadside trees the whole time, which made it impossible for the men to notice him.
At this time, Xiao Bing was already sure that he could stop the vehicle since he’d found it and they were in the suburbs. “I’ve found the car, ” Xiao Bing said on the phone and hung up.
Xiao Bing was only worried about the hostages being harmed if he stopped the van. So he waited patiently, during which time he called Wu Tian to tell him he’d caught up with the vehicle and will wait till it came to a stop before taking further action.
Wu Tian gave a sigh of relief before saying, “Dragon Master, you have to save young master and Missy. I just called their father and he said that he will hugely reward anyone who saves them.”
Xiao Bing was a little unhappy about this. He already had too many things he needed to attend to and he didn’t want his identity exposed. He tried to keep a low profile but found it almost impossible.
However, he knew Wu Tian was afraid that he might be held responsible if he didn’t tell the family, so Xiao Bing didn’t blame him. “That’s unnecessary. Just drive the car to the suburb. I’ll call you when I’ve rescued them. Then drive over here and pick us up.”
Wu Tian was about to tell Xiao Bing he wanted to help, but Xiao Bing had already hung up. He didn’t need more people around and it’s possible that Wu Tian won’t reach here in time. He had to do this alone.
But Xiao Bing did not expected the van to keep going even after he’d run alongside it for half an hour. Xiao Bing felt that they had driven out of Harbin.
“Damn! Are you kidding me?” Xiao Bing could not help cursing.
It was about an hour since Xiao Bing began running after this car. Though Xiao Bing’s body was at the level of the innate, he gradually felt his blood heating up and his body burning.
Xiao Bing wiped sweat off his forehead as he ran after the car. As time went by, the power inside Xiao Bing began to spin faster and wisps of heated steam started emanating from his body. He didn’t know if it was the mysterious hidden force or the sealed power.

One reason for this breakthrough was the power within him evolved after spinning for some time, making it purer. Also, the mysterious wisps coming from him diffused and then converged with Xiao Bing’s own power. Hence, Xiao Bing successfully reached the middle stage of Elixir-strength.
“Perfect! I wasn’t expecting to step into the middle stage of Elixir-strength before the final war. It seems that the gods do favor me.”
