The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Saw a Ghost

Lin Tian secretly gathered his Spiritual Qi and activated the clairvoyance, using the Array to ascertain everyone’s next move.

Utilizing the convenience of his invisibility cloak, Lin Tian’s feet didn’t pause for a moment as he moved left and right, threading through blind spots in everyone’s line of sight.

He needed to leave here quickly; if anything unexpected happened, it would certainly be a huge problem!

”Damn it! How could it happen to coincide like this? Stealing things on the same day!” Lin Tian cursed inwardly and moved another step to the right, concealing himself behind a medicine rack.

The old saying goes: often walking along the riverbank, how can your shoes not get wet?

With so many people here, over two hundred pairs of eyes, no matter how fast he ran, he would eventually be spotted.

”Who’s there!”

Suddenly, a disciple from the Wang Family shouted loudly, ”Who’s behind the shelves? Get out here!”

His resounding voice immediately drew everyone’s attention. They all gathered around.

”Wang Er, did you see someone just now?” Wang Shi asked that disciple.

Wang Er pointed to the shelf where Lin Tian was hiding and replied, ”I didn’t see clearly.”

”Surround from both sides! Be cautious!”

With Wang Shi’s order, ten people surrounded Lin Tian from both sides of the shelves, each clenching their fists and assuming a combat stance.

Anyone who could enter this pharmacy openly was certainly an important figure in the Family Alliance, naturally of master-level skills!

Could they afford not to be cautious?

Lin Tian squinted from behind the shelves, watching everyone’s every move. Then, he calmly turned and shifted to another location.

The placement of each shelf here was similar to those in supermarkets. Anyone unfamiliar with this area would find it hard to navigate without markers, let alone identify places Lin Tian could hide.

Those five clutching their fists found nothing when they surrounded from both sides of the shelves.

”Where’s the person?” Wang Shi asked with a sullen face.

”I don’t know...”

”Wang Er! Didn’t you say you saw someone hiding back there?”

”Patriarch, I did see them...”

Wang Shi’s face darkened further, dismissing explanations with a wave of his hand, instructing, ”Keep searching!”

”Yes!”

...

Soon enough, Lin Tian noticed something amiss. What was wrong? The searchers sped up, and not just a little!

Their speed could keep up with his!

These people had particularly strong foundations in Lightweight Skill!

”Found them! They’re here!”

”Surround him!”

”Oops... gone again.”

After a while.

”Patriarch, the person is here, at a dead corner; he has nowhere to run!”

”Damn it, let’s see where he can run this time!”

Everyone craned their necks to the dead corner, yet saw not a shadow.

”Yue, could this person be someone from your Yue Family? They’ve run too damn fast!” Wang Shi asked patiently.

Yue Yongnan, without thinking, sighed, ”Impossible, you know well who oversees this pharmacy. Our Yue Family members can’t come in. Besides, if it were one of ours, he’d have come out upon seeing me. The crucial point is, this person’s counter-reconnaissance ability is formidable; many from both families were in the military and have some scouting skills, but saw only shadows, nothing more.”

Wang Shi nodded thoughtfully, ”Indeed, and his skills are just too good; he’s constantly moving, neither of us could detect him.”

”Anyone who can come here openly wouldn’t have poor skills; but even if he’s capable, he won’t escape alive today!” Yue Yongnan said with determination.

”Alright, hurry up and find him, we’re short on time.”

With Yue Yongnan and Wang Shi, two major experts joining in, Lin Tian’s position became even tighter, leaving no room to maneuver.

Swoosh...

Exploding with leg power, Lin Tian shot out like a cannonball along a trajectory.

His knee thrust forward, and with a muffled ’bang,’ it struck a disciple’s chest.

The instant impact sent the disciple flying, crashing into three medicine racks, blood spurting from his mouth; his face was utterly listless, instantly rendering him unconscious.

”There he is!”

Instantly, everyone surrounded him. Lin Tian took advantage of the gap, turned, and ran towards the unoccupied area.

”Damn it, he escaped again!” Wang Shi flew into a rage, punching a rack, breaking it into pieces.

This scene was witnessed by Lin Tian, who swallowed hard; such force was terrifying.

Within half an hour, Lin Tian had knocked out eight people, managing to flee each time.

With his clairvoyance and the Xu Family’s Array, Lin Tian was intimately familiar with this place.

”We’re out of time! The medicines are almost packed, we should leave.” Yue Yongnan said, his face stern.

”Leave? We’ve been toyed with all night, and we’re just leaving?”

Wang Shi’s mood couldn’t be described as just gloomy. Being played with like this, when had Wang Shi ever endured such injustice?

If this vengeance isn’t exacted, am I still a man?

”Are you stupid? Then tell me, what do we do? If we stay longer, we’ll soon be discovered. Then none of us will be able to leave.”

Yue Yongnan was far more composed than Wang Shi; now wasn’t the time to act rashly.

”That bastard injured eight of us! Let’s use Inner Strength to wake one and ask what he saw. Then, we’ll make plans.” Wang Shi said in a low voice.

Yue Yongnan pondered for a few seconds, eventually nodding, ”Alright, let’s do it.”

Dragging over a wounded member from the Wang Family, helping him sit cross-legged. Wang Shi then sat opposite him, clasping hands together, secretly channeling energy.

Healing with martial energy is often seen in period dramas, but executing it is no easy feat. Firstly, the Inner Strength must be from the same source; otherwise, it has adverse effects, and is quite energy-intensive.

This method isn’t done unless absolutely necessary.

Lin Tian had struck with enough force to nearly render the person disabled.

Such injuries naturally consumed much of Wang Shi’s Inner Strength, leaving his own energy unstable after reviving the wounded.

”Who did you see just now?” Wang Shi asked sternly.

The wounded man struggled to breathe. Then, his already bloodless face turned even whiter, ”I didn’t see anyone! It was a ghost! I saw a ghost!”
