Chapter 2063 Covering the Rear

Lu Chengwen, Long Aotian, and Zhao Ritian took off running like madmen.

Lu Chengwen ran so fast he almost ran out of breath.

When all else failed, he crouched in Lu Chengwen's bushes, leaning against a big tree, panting heavily.

Long Aotian looked at him: "Can't do it again?"

Lu Chengwen waved his hand: "I can't run anymore."

Zhao Ritian sighed: "If we hide here, will they be able to find us?"

Long Aotian shook his head: "They're definitely using their divine sense to chase after us. The level difference is too great; it's hard to hide."

Lu Chengwen said, "You two run first. Their target is me. Don't stay with me."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Long Aotian said, "If I run away, who will protect you if you're so trashy?"

Zhao Ritian also said, "If I run away, won't Long Aotian laugh at me for the rest of my life? I'd rather be killed by a single blow than do this!"

Lu Chengwen clutched his chest: "That minotaur... he's a damn beast, he stole our pills."

Long Aotian's gaze was deep as he pondered for a moment: "Zhao Ritian, you take Cheng Wen and go first. I'll cover the rear."

Zhao Ritian looked at him: "You?"

"What?" Long Aotian said, "Why don't you stay behind and I'll take Lu Chengwen and leave first?"

"Let's fight together, the three of us! Haven't we done it many times already? I'm used to fighting alongside you guys, and I feel like the three of us can work together well."

Zhao Ritian said very sincerely: "Sometimes, I feel that I don't need to say anything, just take action and you two will know how to cooperate."

Long Aotian looked at him: "That's because you weren't listening to the plan at all, bro! You just acted on impulse and did whatever you wanted, and we've been the ones accommodating you the whole time!"

Zhao Ritian smiled sheepishly: "Sometimes fighting is just a feeling, you know? I don't really understand your plans and tactics, and even if I did, something just doesn't feel right. Sometimes it's just... when the feeling is right, you just go for it."

Strangely enough, Zhao Ritian's words were a jumbled mess, but Lu Chengwen understood them.

Zhao Ritian's sensitivity and perception in combat are probably the strongest among the three.

It was a talent, a talent that he himself couldn't explain or understand.

Of course, this talent can sometimes work wonders, and sometimes it can lead to disaster.

Lu Chengwen shook his head: "I'll stay, you guys go."

Zhao Ritian was very surprised: "Wow! You look like a real man today!"

Lu Chengwen looked at Zhao Ritian: "I've always been like this. Besides... their target is me, and if I stay..."

"Because their goal is you, you must leave."

Long Aotian interrupted, "Do you think I'm protecting you out of camaraderie?"

Long Aotian looked at the occasional pillars of energy rising in the distance: "Even from this distance, we can still see traces of their battle. The fact that they mobilized so many experts at once shows that they are determined to win..."

Long Aotian looked at Lu Chengwen: "In other words, you are of extraordinary significance to them. Although I don't know exactly what it represents, this is no longer as simple as a feud between martial arts masters or personal competition. This is a war."

"war……"

Zhao Ritian didn't understand, but blurted out, "Yes."

Long Aotian leaned closer to Lu Chengwen, staring intently into his eyes: "Every war has a core objective, and you are clearly that core objective. As the opponent, the purpose of our fight is to prevent them from achieving their strategic goals."

Lu Chengwen looked into the distance: "I'm very worried about them..."

"Get your act together!"

Long Aotian grabbed Lu Chengwen by the collar: "Everyone over there is fighting desperately! Their reasons for fighting may be different, but the enemy is the same. Now put away your sentimentality. Don't think that handing yourself over to the enemy will end this life-or-death battle. If you really fall into their hands today, how do you know that because we lost this war, even more people won't die in the future because of your indecisiveness?!"

"We don't have enough information to make further judgments right now, but as long as you survive and escape their pursuit, their objectives at this stage will be unattainable. After that, the four major families will gather enough intelligence. That's the reason you survived!"

Lu Chengwen looked at Long Aotian and clenched his fist: "Survive."

"nonsense."

Long Aotian straightened up and looked at Lu Chengwen sitting under the tree: "I never thought I would die at the hands of a bunch of trash. Zhao Ritian, take him away."

"it is good!"

Lu Chengwen and Zhao Ritian embarked on their continued escape.

However, not far after Lu Chengwen and Zhao Ritian escaped, they heard a faint voice coming from behind them.

"Wang Ba Rebel God, open!"

Lu Chengwen and Zhao Ritian were both stunned. They looked at each other and knew very well that Long Aotian had been caught up with, and that he had already activated the Overlord's Rebellion against God right from the start.

This shows that the opponent's strength was overwhelming for Long Aotian.

Zhao Ritian lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "You go first!"

Lu Chengwen looked at Zhao Ritian, his eyes moist: "Perhaps... if one more person goes back, it's also one more person being lost."

Zhao Ritian grinned, "You think I'm as useless as Long Aotian? He must have been defiled to suffer such a crushing defeat. With me on the team, we're guaranteed to win. I usually find Long Aotian's talk annoying, but he's right today. You have to leave."

Zhao Ritian took a deep breath: "See you later."

Zhao Ritian was just about to leave.

“Sun and Heaven”.

"Ok?"

Lu Chengwen looked at him, a sudden wave of sorrow rising in his heart: "The goal is not to kill, but to survive."

"know."

Zhao Ritian said casually, "Once I rescue that good-for-nothing Long Aotian, I'll come after you. Go ahead, go ahead. A piece of trash like you can only scam money and pick up girls. When it really matters, you'll still have to rely on me! Hahaha! Let's go!"

……

Long Aotian coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The bull-headed creature looked at him coldly and said contemptuously, "Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Niu Shou had only taken a few steps when he frowned, turned around, and saw Long Aotian pouncing over like a ferocious tiger, wielding the Plum Blossom Spear: "Plum Blossom Seven Point Cover!"

The bull-headed creature shook its head a few times, dodging the spearhead: "So many important figures are struggling, and you, trash who can't even get into the No-Door Realm, actually expect to stop me?"

Long Aotian gritted his teeth, turned around, and wielded his spear like a dragon: "Overlord's Thrust!"

The bull-headed man gripped the spearhead with one hand, coldly staring at Long Aotian. With a single pull, he bent the spear.

Long Aotian held the gun with both hands, tightly gripping it with his arms and waist, yet it was still not as strong as the bull's head's single-handed strength.

The bull-headed man coldly said, "Do you really think you three vermin are invincible? There are many reasons why the Jiang family hasn't killed you, but the reason that you're too strong for the Jiang family to kill is not one of them. Do you understand?"

Long Aotian refused to give up and continued to struggle.

"Ah, it seems they're just stalling."

Niu Shou grabbed the spear, pulling Long Aotian away. Niu Shou then delivered a knee strike, slamming it into Long Aotian's chest.

Long Aotian spat out a mouthful of blood, and his sternum cracked with a sound.
