The Urban Medical Martial Immortal-Chapter 787 - 783: Chaos (Fifth Update!)
Chapter 787: Chapter 783: Chaos (Fifth Update!)
Ferocious as a beast, the giant off-road vehicle charged westward.
By late night, the vehicle finally entered the territory of Yundian Province.
Compared to Guixi Province, the terrain in Yundian Province is more complex, with many national highways built winding along the foothills.
In the desolate mountains, most of the roads are tortuous with countless twists and turns.
If it weren’t for using Divine Sense to explore, Lin Tian felt he might get dizzy and lose his way.
However, Situ Xiu, who was clearly a regular visitor here, was very familiar with the local road conditions and moved along comfortably.
Driving through the wilderness at night, he continued without any difficulty.
After heading west for a full five hours, well into the late night, the vehicle finally got out of the mountains and onto flat ground.
Suddenly, the vehicle turned around and headed south.
Outside, a thick black curtain permeated the air, with only the headlights illuminating a few dozen meters ahead.
"Mr. Lin, this national highway leads directly to Tusk City! Although the road conditions aren’t great, it has the advantages of being less traveled and more direct."
As Situ Xiu drove, he turned back to Lin Tian and said, "If we go to Dali City, it would naturally be fast. But that area is Heelanyang’s stronghold, and I’m worried that running into them could delay your business."
"Uh-huh, you decide, just get us to Tusk City as fast as possible!"
Lin Tian nodded lightly in response, then frowned out the window.
Something inexplicably had him feeling uneasy, as if some major event were about to unfold.
Could it be my imagination?
Lin Tian looked out at the intensely dark night, feeling somewhat irritated.
The vehicle moved on for another hour, and a small town appeared ahead.
The town was tiny, with just two streets shining dimly with scattered yellow lights between the mountains.
Lin Tian took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, noting it was past four in the morning.
Furthermore, the battery was down to a single bar.
"Could you charge this for me?"
There was a charging cable in Situ Xiu’s car, and Lin Tian handed his phone over directly.
Usually, Lin Tian rarely paid attention to his phone’s battery.
But now, feeling apprehensive, he was worried about missing calls from family or friends.
With respect, Situ Xiu took the phone and connected it to the charging cable.
"Mr. Lin, the car is low on fuel. Here at Yuxi Town, which is right on this highway, there’s a gas station. We have to stop and refuel!"
Situ Xiu turned to tell Lin Tian this as he prepared to drive to the gas station.
"Refuel, then keep going, no rest!"
Lin Tian nodded and gave the instruction.
As the car pulled into the station, Situ Xiu got out to refuel.
It was a self-service station, not full service, so Situ Xiu had to do it himself.
Just as he was finishing up, a black Audi that had come roaring down a county road on the opposite side of the national highway sped past them and disappeared into the darkness.
"Hmm, the smell of blood..."
Lin Tian, watching the departing Audi, furrowed his brow.
Because of the wind stirred up by the speeding car, a faint scent of blood wafted through the air.
Song Manshan and Situ Xiu didn’t notice it, but Lin Tian distinctly smelled it.
"Mr. Lin, could that car be fleeing or chasing someone?"
Situ Xiu, having finished refueling and gotten back in the car, asked with some concern, afraid any trouble might delay Lin Tian’s business.
This young man was, after all, a Golden Core Stage elder, and he was worried about offending him over some trivial matter.
"Just keep driving, ignore everything else!"
Lin Tian shook his head slightly and spoke coldly.
Hearing this, Situ Xiu didn’t speak again and just continued driving.
But after driving a few kilometers, a roaring howl suddenly erupted from behind.
This made Lin Tian and Song Manshan look back involuntarily.
Situ Xiu couldn’t help but glance back from the rearview mirror.
Behind them appeared a SUV, speeding extremely fast, like lightning, at least over two hundred yards.
However, due to the dazzling headlights, Lin Tian couldn’t see clearly at first and whooshed, the vehicle sped past them.
Lin Tian was too lazy to use his Divine Sense to investigate, asking Situ Xiu to keep driving well.
"Mr. Lin, I think it’s most likely people from under Heelanyang. His influence spans the entire Underground Martial World of Yundian Province! However, as long as we don’t provoke them, there should be no trouble!"
Song Manshan turned back around, thought for a moment, and then explained to Lin Tian, "Moreover, Yundian Province is the southwesternmost province, on the border—most chaotic... Compared to our Guixi Province, it’s far too peaceful..."
Lin Tian nodded slightly in understanding and then said, "I’m not afraid of troubles, just afraid they’ll waste my time!"
He had heard about this area from Song Manshan before coming, especially the most chaotic Tusk City region, where all sorts of people gathered.
Though Song Manshan still looked somewhat worried, he didn’t comment further upon hearing Lin Tian’s words.
Situ Xiu, on the other hand, nodded deeply while driving.
With Lin Tian’s Golden Core abilities, these nobodies weren’t worth mentioning!
As they left the jurisdiction of Yuxi Town, the road ahead became increasingly smooth.
However, after the car had traveled a distance, a boom and loud laughter came from ahead.
In front of the highway, more than a dozen figures and four or five cars had blocked the road.
"Mr. Lin, should we go straight through?"
Situ Xiu slowed down the car, turning to ask Lin Tian.
He dared not make decisions carelessly.
"Drive through!"
Lin Tian nodded in agreement.
Very soon.
The car approached those people, but the road was completely blocked.
They saw four or five vehicles encircling a black Audi in the middle.
And that very car was the Audi that had zoomed past Lin Tian and the others when they had stopped for gas.
"Damn, the person Yuxi Court wants to capture, you fuckers actually dared to rescue?"
The arrival of Lin Tian’s car did not garner their attention; they didn’t give them as much as a glance, too lazy to care about blocking the road. One of the leading young men banged on the Audi trapped at the center, shouting fiercely, "Fucking open the door, or I’ll break the windows to pull you out, and you won’t like the consequences!"
However.
The young man’s words seemed ineffective, as the people in the car still refused to open the doors.
Fearing that Lin Tian was running out of patience, Situ Xiu couldn’t afford to waste time; he leaned out and shouted at the dozen people, "Move your cars, we need to get through!"
Upon hearing Situ Xiu’s commanding tone, those dozen people turned their heads in astonishment, puzzled.
"Is this fatso ordering us?"
The leader, adorned with a gold chain, sneered at Situ Xiu, then turned back and grinned at his men, seemingly having heard the funniest thing.
Situ Xiu’s face sank sharply, he coldly shouted, "Move, if you don’t want to die!"
Situ Xiu was at the Qi Refining First Level and practiced the magic of Corpse Soul Mountain. To him, these young men in front were mere lambs to the slaughter, not worth a second glance.
"Damn, fatso, you’re dead!"
The young man clearly had a fiery temper; he cursed, then turned back to his men and ordered, "Get your tools, smash the Audi’s windows, and some of you get the fatso down to loosen his bones!"
Upon the young man’s instruction, the others coldly smirked and surged into action, fetching clubs and knives from their cars.
"Seeking death!"
Situ Xiu’s face darkened and he was about to step out of the car.
But at that moment, Lin Tian suddenly patted Situ Xiu on the shoulder and said, "Stay here, I’ll go down!"
After that, Lin Tian opened the car door and stepped out first.
Because he had just used his Divine Sense to check and discovered that the driver of the Audi was a girl, and moreover, someone he had met in Bin City, whom he could consider an old acquaintance in a sense.
