The two of them were only five meters apart. It was too close.
It was doubtlessly a fatal mistake for Bo Wen to let down his guard at that moment.
Just then, Cheng Ying relaxed. Just when everyone thought the situation was settled, Chen Mu made his move.
He moved like a fleeing rabbit and was as fast as lightning!
In the state of breath control, Chen Mu could bring every function of his body into full play. Maybe he was still a long way off from the demonic woman, but that was already the greatest power he could bring into play.
His body, after a long period of practicing exercise gymnastics and being ravaged by the Demonic Woman's demonic training, was already very amazing in terms of explosive power.
But Chen Mu had already gotten used to his identity as a card master and naturally hadn't realized his strong point.
Bo Wen was horrified, and unconsciously wanted to retreat.
Cheng Ying was shocked at the same time. She hadn't thought Chen Mu would dare to make a move at that moment.
Did he not want to live anymore?
Even if he could kill Bo Wen, he wouldn't be able to survive being chased by so many card artisans.
But she didn't have time to think about it. If Bo Wen had really been killed by Chen Mu, then she really wouldn't be able to explain herself.
But before she could attack, Chen Mu had already bent over to take advantage of Bo Wen's embrace.
And the most hateful thing was that he was using Bo Wen's body as a cover, making it impossible for her to launch an attack.
Cheng Ying's face turned pale and her heart sank. Despair appeared in her eyes as she looked at the two people on the ground.
Was this the final counterattack of a cornered beast?
She had never thought that the young man would have such a fiery temper. He would rather die in glory than live in disgrace.
Damn it!
How could this be?
She could imagine the final outcome even if she closed her eyes.
Bo Wen would be killed by the youth, who would then be torn to pieces by the enraged Ning family card artisans, and he would then have to bear all of the Ning family's fury by himself.
Sweeping over Bo Wen's frightened eyes, Chen Mu's gaze remained cold, making it impossible to guess what he was really thinking.
Am I going to die?
Bo Wen really wanted to close his eyes, since he was afraid in the face of death.
No matter how strong and outstanding he was, he was only a twenty-year-old youth. He had yet to experience most of the ups and downs in this world.
Fear was the most normal reaction when one was suddenly faced with death.
He didn't expect that he would die in the hands of a sixteen or seventeen year old youth who was younger than him.
His opponent's strength, experience, and cards were all far inferior to his, but the situation had turned out this way. Even now, when he thought about it, he still felt that it was inconceivable.
In this world, there was actually someone who could reach this level of computing ability, and it was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth.
The night of the cross was indeed extraordinary.
Then, Chen Mu once again did something that no one had expected.
He didn't kill Bo Wen, and he didn't even touch him. He just deftly took that four-star power card from the unprepared Bo Wen's hand.
Loading time: 0.5 seconds.
The big mudfish card was suddenly activated, leaping out of Bo Wen's chest like a mudfish, sticking close to the ground and twisting a few times before disappearing into the street.
Bo Wen was dumbfounded!
Cheng Ying was stunned!
It wasn't until Chen Mu had disappeared that Bo Wen responded.
The sudden change in his state of mind caused his mind to go blank for a short period of time.
By the time he recovered, Chen Mu had long since disappeared.
Staring blankly in the direction in which Chen Mu had disappeared, he felt an indescribable chill bursting from the depths of his marrow. Bo Wen felt as though all the blood in his body had congealed, and he was a little cold.
Seizing the flaw in his and Cheng Ying's state of mind, Chen Mu had decisively closed in, creating the posture of a dying counterattack.
But his plan had been to escape, and taking away the power card in his hand would, on the one hand, shorten the time, and on the other hand, delay the time it would take for him to catch up.
If he wanted to give chase, he would have no choice but to take out another power card, which would have looked like only a second, but would have been enough for the two of them to pull apart.
He dared to be sure that Chen Mu had certainly accounted for the time he had been in a daze.
Drawing a cold breath, the blood drained from Bo Wen's face.
He and Cheng Ying had both been tricked by Chen Mu, and Cheng Ying had been afraid to shoot at the rat for fear of breaking the vases, not daring to attack.
And his subsequent actions had even tricked him, and it would have been strange if Cheng Ying had been able to react.
So long as he had a power card, Cheng Ying would never have been able to hit him.
He suddenly understood why Chen Mu hadn't killed him. He had certainly accounted for that time.
What meticulous thinking, what terrifying calculating ability, and what a decisive character!
He hadn't hesitated to put himself in danger in order to fight for an opportunity. He had an extremely accurate grasp of timing and human psychology, and his calculating ability was powerful beyond compare.
Bo Wen believed that if it had been any other card artisan, ninety-nine out of a hundred would have killed him. But Chen Mu hadn't.
That made Bo Wen even more afraid of Chen Mu.
If all the card artisans of the night of the cross were at that level, that would really be terrifying!
Bo Wen wasn't an ordinary person after all, and he quickly collected his feelings and restored his composure.
He quickly pulled out a power card and inserted it into his apparatus.
He didn't even look at the card artisans from the Amay Ning family who were rushing over, since he knew they couldn't be relied on.
Even he had suffered at Chen Mu's hands, and he was afraid those people wouldn't be able to catch a hair on his head.
The feud between the night of the cross and the Eastern Ning family had been going on for a long time, and Bo Wen had seen Chen Mu's power that day, which made him all the more determined to get rid of Chen Mu.
Bo Wen couldn't eat or sleep in peace whenever he thought of having such a terrifying scheming enemy in some unseen dark corner.
Although he had suffered at Chen Mu's hands that day, he hadn't actually been injured.
On the contrary, Chen Mu had been seriously injured, which was enough to show the difference in power between the two of them.
Chen Mu had been able to rely on his powerful calculations to give himself an advantage on the battlefield, but because of the difference in power, he had been the one who had been injured.
Although Bo Wen looked battered, he hadn't been injured at all.
That had finally given Bo Wen back a little confidence.
And Bo Wen realized that it was an extremely rare opportunity!
Chen Mu had already been injured, and although he didn't care for the Amay Ning's card artisans, their advantage in numbers could still play a big role.
That was the best opportunity to get rid of Chen Mu!
Once he missed it, it would mean that he would have to live every day in fear.
Once the card artisans of the night of the cross hid in the dark, no one would be able to find them.
Poor Chen Mu, who probably never would have thought that while breath control had brought him great power, it would also bring him endless trouble.
Chen Mu's brain was as calm as ice as he was flying. There were still 40 seconds left in the state of breath control, and he needed to find a safe place as quickly as possible.
Once the state of breath control was over, the powerful side effects would make him lose his ability to move for a short time, which would make him a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
It was a good thing that the darkness gave him quite a bit of cover, and he was much more comfortable with the dark environment in the state of breath control.
The complicated flow of air emitted by the big mudfish card was being easily controlled by Chen Mu. In the state of breath control, his perceptual control was extremely precise, and he wouldn't make any mistakes.
Shuttling back and forth between the residences, Chen Mu was as slippery as a black mudfish in the night.
Where could he escape to in 40 seconds?
The Outer Reaches!
Chen Mu's brain was rapidly calculating, and he had no fear of the Outer Reaches at that time. Although he understood that his chances of surviving in the Outer Reaches were very small, at least there was still a chance of survival.
That day's plan had actually been going perfectly, with the only exception being Bo Wen.
He still didn't understand why Bo Wen would launch an attack on him, not to mention that he wouldn't rest until he was dead.
That unexpected factor had led Chen Mu's operation to face the fate of failure.
The wounds on his body needed to be taken care of, and if he were still in the city, the smell of blood on his body would make it impossible for him to hide.
The Ning family card artisans would quickly find his hiding place, and once he was surrounded, he would be in a defensive position.
There wouldn't even be a one percent chance of success to shake the entire Ning family single-handedly.
Although nine out of ten would die in the Outer Reaches, at least there would be a chance of survival!
Chen Mu didn't hesitate any longer, and switched to the high-speed jet-stream card as fast as he could, taking off from the ground and flying out of Amay City.
Bo Wen immediately discovered Chen Mu, and chased after him without hesitation.
Cheng Ying's expression changed, and he hesitated a little, but he gritted his teeth and chased after him.
The speed of the high-speed jet-stream card was praiseworthy, and Chen Mu was going all out, so he reached his theoretical maximum speed.
Very few people would fly at such a high speed within the city, since if he didn't control it well and crashed into a building, he would certainly be smashed into a pile of minced meat, with no chance of survival.
Even if he were to be grazed, it would be hard to escape.
There was a flash in Bo Wen's eyes, and he immediately picked up his speed.
He had already made up his mind that no matter what, he couldn't let Chen Mu live that day.
But compared to Chen Mu's casualness, Bo Wen looked a lot more cautious.
That was the first time he had flown at such a high speed within the city, and he was still a little scared.
Because of that, Chen Mu was immediately labeled as a fierce outlaw.
The most depressed was Cheng Ying, seeing the speed at which the two of them were going, and she almost lost the courage to chase after them.
Did those two not want to live?
But seeing the two of them disappear over the horizon, Cheng Ying had no choice but to activate the jet-stream card with all her might, desperately chasing after them.
Among the three of them, the most helpless and the most innocent was her, and the one who had the least initiative was also her.
In order to avoid the Ning family card artisans, Chen Mu was flying at a very low altitude.
If it weren't for the state of breath control, where his control of perception was incomparably precise, he wouldn't have been able to fly at such a high speed.
That kind of flying had a higher probability of success than suicide.
