Xiao Fei understood the seriousness of the situation and broke a cold sweat for Yang Tian. He knew that their academy principal from Tianwei would not be able to handle the pressure from Shenwei Military Academy and surrender. He would kick Yang Tian out of the academy and issue a joint Warrior Bounty with Shenwei.
"How did your principal's son end up with you guys?" Xiao Fei looked at Sun Yu and asked coldly.
"Wahh!"
As Xiao Fei asked the question, Sun Yu suddenly cried out loud beyond anybody's expectations. "It was my fault! It was all my fault! It was me who asked Master Du Feng to come with us. I told him the world outside is fun… I'm done for. The principal will surely kill me!"
Zhao Wu frowned hard and said with gritted teeth, "You little f*cker! It's all because of you little b*stard! If it wasn't for you, Yang Tian wouldn't have got himself into such big trouble. Wonderful, isn't it? Now Yang Tian's in deep trouble, and you're in it too!"
As Zhao Wu pointed that out, Sun Yu's eyes widened and looked at him, dazed.
Li Xuan sneered and said, "If I were you, I'd just kill myself right now. Then maybe your friends wouldn't say anything so that they would leave your family out of it."
Sun Yu nodded after Li Xuan said that. He picked up the silver-white pistol that he tossed away and aimed at his head.
"No! I don't wanna die! Don't wanna die!" Suddenly aware of what he was doing, he pointed the gun at Xiao Fei instead and shouted hysterically.
Thud.
Right at that moment, Liu Jian tossed his curved saber and cut off Sun Yu's head. He said nonchalantly, "He couldn't even make it a quick death. What a useless piece of sh*t!"
Xiao Fei did not look at Sun Yu's body. He frowned and asked his teammates, "So, now what? Yang Tian was most probably trying to divert the Shenwei guys' attention so that we could run away. He got into this mess without meaning to… We're a team, we should help him out. What should we do to help him?"
The rest of the team fell silent over the question. They were all lower-class Warriors so there was not much they could do.
A few moments later, Li Xuan voiced out, "We should alert our brothers and sisters in the academy before Shenwei Academy realizes what has happened. We need to hide Yang Tian's family. That old fox Du Xiongwu is pretty calculative and merciless, so we can't guarantee that he won't use Yang Tian's family as hostages to threaten him."
Xiao Fei nodded in agreement and immediately used the Warriormate to get in touch with Zhou Hao, who was in the academy.
Xiao Fei was very certain about Zhou Hao and Yang Tian's friendship.
"Brother Xiao." As communication established, Zhou Hao's voice was heard through Xiao Fei's Warriormate.
Xiao Fei said, "Zhou Hao, I need you to do something right now—as soon as possible! Yang Tian is in big trouble. He killed the son of Du Xiongwu, the principal of Shenwei Military Academy. You need to hide Yang Tian's family, and don't let the people from Shenwei find them!"
Zhou Hao answered, "Brother Xiao, I don't think this can be done in the city. We'll have to send them out of the city instead."
Xiao Fei thought for a moment and immediately understood what he meant. Outside the city was not a good choice, but since there were lots of questionable people there, it would not be easy to find them once they were there. If something unexpected happened, what was to be done?
"Anywhere else other than outside the city?" Xiao Fei asked.
Zhou Hao thought for a few seconds and answered, "I thought of something, I can send them to his girlfriend Qin Fei's home. I've heard Yang Tian mention that Qin Fei's grandfather is a high-classed Warrior."
"Are you sure it's gonna work?" asked Xiao Fei, slightly worried.
"No problem!" said Zhou Hao, "This is the best way right now."
"Xiao Fei said, "Then get on with it!"
"You got it!" Zhou Hao said, then he hung up.
Xiao Fei let out a long sigh and said, "The Warriormate has a GPS function. We must tell him to get rid of it, but that would mean that he'll most probably get lost in the Danger Zone."
Li Xuan said, "He might be able to stay alive exactly because he's lost. If he gets caught by the Shenwei people, he'd definitely die."
Xiao Fei nodded, then sent a text message to Yang Tian.
The reason he sent him text was that he knew that Yang Tian was being pursued by Zhou Dadao and the lot; there would not be much chance to talk.
After sending the text message, Xiao Fei thought for a while and sent another text telling Yang Tian that he could keep the Grade Five Beast Core for his use…
Yang Tian had absolutely no idea what had happened to him. He was just moving forward with his saber, and leaving his pursuers in the dust.
He did not bring his backpack, but he knew that the little dragon in the backpack could sense his physical location and catch up with him.
Judging by level, Yang Tian was at most qualified as a Class Three Warrior, and Zhou Dadao, who was pursuing him, was a Class Four Warrior and had much more speed than Yang Tian having almost caught up to him a few times.
However, Yang Tian had a Dragon Pearl in him, and it kept supplying unlimited energy to his legs, enabling him to keep the same pace forward. Zhou Dadao, on the other hand, had to pause to rest after a certain distance.
Under the given circumstances, Zhou Dadao still could not reach Yang Tian.
"Huh huh huh…"
Without knowing it, Zhou Dadao had been chasing Yang Tian for more than three hours and was panting hard. He did not understand how someone like Yang Tian, who was lower in level, could run nonstop like that and not let a Class Four Warrior like him catch up.
One running in front, and another chasing behind. The pattern it maintained finally came to a halt when night fell…
The reason Zhou Dadao could keep tailing Yang Tian was that Yang Tian had to deal with the Monsters that he startled along the way. He often had to stop and kill some of them, thus leaving a trail for the experienced Zhou Dadao to discover.
Since the sky became dark, things were finally changing!
Even in the dark, Yang Tian would move for a long distance before he would pause.
"Squeak squeak squeak…"
When Yang Tian leaned against a tree to rest, Drago suddenly appeared and hopped onto his shoulder and squeaked excitedly.
Seeing Drago's appearance made Yang Tian smile. He held Drago in his hand, touched his little head, and said, "I thought you weren't coming! I was worried sick."
"Squeak squeak squeak…"
Only when the little dragon protested did Yang Tian put him down.
"I wonder what time it is." Yang Tian raised his arm to check the time—it was already 8pm.
He saw three text messages while checking the time and read all three of them.
One of them was a warning from Xiao Fei telling him that he killed Du Feng, the son of Du Xiongwu, the principal of Shenwei Military Academy, and he was in big trouble. He advised him to throw away his Warriormate before any of the academies issued Warrior Bounty against him just so he could avoid being followed.
When he saw that message, Yang Tian recalled the young man clad in black. He thought he was a regular Warrior from Shenwei Military Academy and killed him in passing because Yang Tian hated people who took advantage of other people's hard work.
He did not expect to find out that this normal looking young man was the son of Shenwei Academy's principal!
Yang Tian understood what kind of trouble he was in even without someone telling him…
In the second text message, Xiao Fei told him to keep the Grade Five Beast Core for himself, and not to worry about the team.
In the third message, Xiao Fei told Yang Tian that Zhou Hao had already taken his parents to Qin Zhengyang's residence. He told him not to worry about their safety and to take good care of himself so that he could get through this catastrophe.
After reading the messages, Yang Tian let out a long sigh and gazed above him. Through the little gaps between the tree leaves, he could see the stars covered the night sky, it was beautiful!
However, Yang Tian was in a very unhappy mood!
He did not expect to be so unlucky.
"Drago, we're gonna have hard days ahead. But with you by my side, I believe we can get through this ordeal." Yang Tian smiled and told the little dragon after pondering for a little while.
"Squeak squeak squeak…"
Drago told Yang Tian that he was not afraid of anything.
Yang Tian nodded.
Since he could not use Warriormate anymore, he decided to never use it again. He took it off his wrist and tossed it away. He then stood up and told Drago, "Let's go! There'll be a day that I'm so strong that everyone will be afraid of me!"
Upon saying that, he started moving forward while the stars were still bright.
He needed to get out of the area during night time so that the people from Shenwei Military Academy could not find him.
Walking at night in the dense forest was no easy feat. What was more, he did not have night vision goggles with him. Fortunately, he had Drago as his navigator and avoided plenty of dangerous areas.
It was not until midnight that Yang Tian stopped walking. He found a tree and climbed up to rest on the branches.
After a long escape, Yang Tian was exhausted. Soon, he fell asleep.
