Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Arrived

Li Mei was flying through the sky at breakneck speed.

As she flew, she glanced back repeatedly at her pursuers who were steadily gaining ground with each passing moment. The gap between them kept shrinking faster and faster as time went on.

Everything had gone terribly wrong from the very beginning. When she had departed from the Central Continent about a week ago, her flying boat had been attacked by unknown enemies.

Someone actually dared to attack her boat despite it bearing the unmistakable insignia of the Li family, one of the Ten Great Families. This meant that the assailant was either someone from the Ten Holy Lands or another of the Ten Great Families. If that was true, then it meant they didn’t think much of her Li family.

It seemed their Li Family was truly in decline.

After her boat had been attacked and severely damaged, she had hastily deployed the emergency escape method built into the vessel. The boat had shot forward at maximum speed, its defensive arrays blazing as they deflected follow-up attacks.

The good news was that she had managed to escape the initial assault zone alive. The bad news was that the boat had sustained so much damage that she could no longer properly control its flight path, causing it to crash-land somewhere in the Eastern Continent.

On the positive side, this was actually her original destination, and she had somehow survived the violent crash landing with only minor injuries. On the negative side, she had crash-landed in some not so nice people’s backyard.

Now that she was being chased after, she couldn’t go to the Azure Cloud Sect as she didn’t want to bring this kind of trouble to her cousin’s doorstep. Instead, she chose to flee in the opposite direction.

As she was looking back once again, she noticed that the pursuers had caught up to her.

"Kekeke, little girl, there’s no need to be that scared," one of the men called out. "Just stop running and we can have a nice, friendly chat."

Li Mei didn’t waste even a second listening to them. Without hesitation, she reached into her sleeve and withdrew another talisman, hurling it toward her attackers.

When the men saw the talisman, they immediately moved away to avoid it. "Dammit, it’s this again!" one of them cursed loudly. "Just how many treasures does this kid have?"

"Doesn’t matter how many she’s got," another replied as the talisman exploded where they were just moments ago. "Once we finally catch her, all of it will belong to us."

They resumed their relentless pursuit as soon as the explosion’s effects dissipated. _{free\we,bnovel.c o(m)}

Li Mei glanced back nervously, confirming that the men were once again closing the distance. Suddenly, something struck her as odd—why were there only two of them now?

"Kekeke, caught you," a sinister voice spoke from directly above her.

Looking up in absolute horror, she saw a massive hand descending toward her. "Let’s see what secrets you’re hiding, little girl," the third man said with an evil smile stretching across his face as he reached down to grab her.

The moment his hand closed around her, she suddenly transformed into a wooden log. "An illusion?" the man wondered aloud, staring at the piece of wood he now held. Scanning the area frantically, he spotted her true form already fleeing toward the opposite direction.

His expression twisted with rage as he crushed the log into dust between his fingers. Just how long was it going to take three Soul Formation realm experts to capture a single Golden Core realm girl? They had already been pursuing her for hours now, just how many treasures did she possess?

On the other side of the chase, Li Mei pushed herself to fly even faster, her energy reserves depleting rapidly. She thought to herself that all her trump cards were being used up far too quickly. She only had a few talismans remaining.
