At this moment, Zhu Bufan was still walking unhurriedly. He tightly locked onto the Qi emanating from Long Feiyun and Xiao Ruo, so he was not afraid of losing them. He shook his hands and clenched his fists again, feeling whether his body was still under his control. Suddenly, he punched the air, and a silver whirlwind swept through the forest, breaking the grass and trees wherever it passed. Zhu Bufan looked at his fist, seemingly very satisfied with the situation. He started to quicken his pace towards the direction where Long Feiyun and Xiao Ruo had disappeared. He already felt that the two of them had gone far.

Long Feiyun, who had been fleeing ahead, did not dare to look back because he feared that the moment he did, he would see Zhu Bufan's expressionless face, full of Killing Intent, and those emotionless silver eyes. However, he could clearly feel the distinct Killing Intent coming from behind him. He didn't know how far he had run or how far Zhu Bufan was from him. He only knew that he must try to escape as far as possible and keep running until Yichen and the others arrived.

Zhu Bufan, at this time, was like a cat toying with a mouse. He had a slight smile on his face, a smile that gave a frightening impression. He walked with lively steps as if strolling in his own backyard, almost humming a tune. The distance of each step was the same, and the strength of each step was completely consistent. He had become increasingly adept at controlling his body, and only when one is adept can he unleash maximum power. Zhu Bufan leaped lightly, tapped a branch, which snapped with a cry, as he shot out like an arrow leaving the string. He was becoming tired of the cat-and-mouse game; he wanted to see blood, he wanted to see the scene of blood spraying.

Screech, a sharp whistling sound came from behind. Judging by the volume of the sound, Long Feiyun could clearly tell that Zhu Bufan was closing in on him, and very quickly at that. He hadn't anticipated that despite running so far, Zhu Bufan would so easily catch up to him. He shouted urgently, his legs gaining more strength, and his speed noticeably increased. The current speed was not fast enough to evade Zhu Bufan; only by evading Zhu Bufan would they have a chance to survive.

Seeing the figure desperately fleeing in front, Zhu Bufan suddenly slowed his pace, following at a leisurely pace behind Long Feiyun and Xiao Ruo. He was no longer in a hurry; it seemed watching others flee for their lives was quite an enjoyment. Zhu Bufan followed behind Long Feiyun at a distance, watching the figure ahead in a panic, suddenly laughing. His laughter was as unbearable as dry trees rubbing together.

Long Feiyun, fleeing in front, suddenly heard the whistling disappear behind him, feeling slightly relieved, yet he did not dare slow his pace. He was well aware that Zhu Bufan was not far behind, tailing him. Although he didn't know why Zhu Bufan hadn't acted, Long Feiyun didn't want to test Zhu Bufan, as that would undoubtedly be courting death. Zhu Bufan's laughter reached Long Feiyun and Xiao Ruo's ears, the dry laugh making both shiver. Xiao Ruo suddenly spoke. He said, "Feiyun, put me down. I will hold him off, you go meet up with my master and them, then come back to save me." Xiao Ruo's tone was extremely calm; he had already disregarded his life and death.

"No." Long Feiyun firmly refused. He knew very well that if Xiao Ruo stayed, there would be no chance of survival. With Zhu Bufan's current bloodthirsty nature, he would never spare the Xiao Ruo who stayed behind.

"Put me down quickly." Xiao Ruo was urgent. Continuing like this, neither of them would escape.

But no matter what, Long Feiyun was unwilling to let go. He was taught never to abandon a comrade, no matter the circumstances. He couldn't watch his comrade go to his death while he only escaped. Ignoring Xiao Ruo's shouting, Long Feiyun continued fleeing through the forest. Xiao Ruo was still desperately shouting, asking Long Feiyun to leave him.

Suddenly, Long Feiyun stopped, released Xiao Ruo, and made no further movement. Xiao Ruo looked at the suddenly halting Long Feiyun, not knowing what he was thinking. "You want to stay, is that it?" Long Feiyun stared at Xiao Ruo. "Then we'll both stay and fight him." The last sentence was almost shouted by Long Feiyun.

Upon hearing Long Feiyun's words, Xiao Ruo was stunned, then smiled and shouted, "Fight him to the end!" The two looked at each other and laughed, then turned to face Zhu Bufan.

Zhu Bufan had already stopped not far away. He didn't know why the two suddenly stopped. Did they tire out? He tilted his head, curiously looking at them, then said, "You two, not running anymore?" His voice was dry, like the sound of sandpaper rubbing together.

"Not running," Xiao Ruo said with a faint smile, looking at Zhu Bufan, "Xiao Tian, I never thought I'd be opposing you under such circumstances."

Zhu Bufan still tilted his head looking at Xiao Ruo and Long Feiyun, then said, "I am not Zhu Bufan."

His words were a bolt from the blue. Xiao Ruo and Long Feiyun suddenly froze, looking foolishly at Zhu Bufan, thinking if he isn't Zhu Bufan, then who is he? Clearly, he was the appearance of Zhu Bufan after his power went berserk.

"Who are you?" Long Feiyun asked in a deep voice. He found his question somewhat absurd, as he clearly knew this person, yet he was asking such a question.

"I am Nameless." Zhu Bufan stood up straight, looked at Xiao Ruo and Long Feiyun, and his red pupils were full of mockery. "Zhu Bufan has already been devoured by me."

"Devoured?" Xiao Ruo stepped forward. He didn't think Zhu Bufan was lying; on the contrary, he believed it. If the person in front wasn't Zhu Bufan, then there was no need to hold back.

"That's right." Zhu Bufan watched Xiao Ruo step forward, yet he did not move at all.

"And if you die?" Xiao Ruo wanted to know if Zhu Bufan could be saved.

"I don't know." Zhu Bufan's tone remained flat, with no emotional change detectable.

"Then you will die." With that, Xiao Ruo suddenly moved.

Despite a leg injury, Xiao Ruo's speed was still incredibly fast, showcasing his strength. As soon as Xiao Ruo moved, Long Feiyun followed. They often worked together, and naturally, their coordination needed no discussion. Xiao Ruo attacked from the front while Long Feiyun flanked from the side. They timed their attacks perfectly. As Xiao Ruo's attack reached Zhu Bufan, Long Feiyun had already blocked all routes for Zhu Bufan to dodge.

Zhu Bufan didn't dodge. He simply raised his right hand and grabbed Xiao Ruo's fist, then twisted and pushed strongly to the side. Xiao Ruo, like a stick, was swept towards Long Feiyun by Zhu Bufan. At this moment, Long Feiyun was already at Zhu Bufan's side, having already launched his attack, with no chance to dodge. Plus, Zhu Bufan's move was so sudden and swift that Long Feiyun hadn't reacted by the time he was hit. The two were flung out, smashing into the ground with two thuds.

Zhu Bufan casually clapped his hands, watching as Xiao Ruo and Long Feiyun got up from the ground. He wasn't in a hurry, truly not in a hurry. It was rare to meet two undaunted living beings; he had to properly toy with them. He strode towards them, his speed seemingly slow, yet in a flash, he reached them. Lifting a foot, he kicked Long Feiyun away and grabbed Xiao Ruo, tilting his head to look at him, "Now who is dying?"

Xiao Ruo, caught by Zhu Bufan around the neck, couldn't breathe, let alone speak. Xiao Ruo hummed a few times, somehow responding to Zhu Bufan's question. Surprisingly, Zhu Bufan seemed to understand his words, nodding seriously, saying, "Very good. Very good. Not forgetting to be tough even now." With that, the force on his hand increased a few notches. Xiao Ruo was suffocated until his eyes rolled back.
