My Brilliant CEO Wife

Chapter 872 - 873: You Can't Escape

After reaching halfway up the mountain, the crowd gradually dispersed, but the pair of eyes that had been fixed on him remained. Yun Hao knew that today, he definitely wouldn't be able to leave safely!Even if he managed to get down the mountain and ride away, halfway through he would likely be forced to stop!

"Zhao Ya, you go directly down the mountain. Take my phone and head straight to Shennan City!" Realizing this, Yun Hao decided not to leave. He handed the phone to Zhao Ya, gently hugged her, and asked her to be careful!

"Hubby, wait for me. I'll definitely bring reinforcements and rescue you from this broken temple!" Zhao Ya nodded solemnly, then headed down the mountain without looking back!

"Why aren't you leaving, benefactor? Have you come to your senses and decided to return with the old monk to engage in spiritual practice?" Ku Zhi's voice slowly came from behind, and then he stood beside Yun Hao.

"Master Ku Zhi, I can go back with you to practice, but there's one thing I don't understand, and I hope you can enlighten me!" Yun Hao did not turn to look at Ku Zhi, keeping his hands behind his back as he watched Zhao Ya walking down the mountain path. He spoke calmly and unruffled.

"Please go ahead, benefactor!"

"Why must I stay here? I don't believe it's just because of the heavy evil qi surrounding me!" Yun Hao spoke lightly and quietly, and even passersby couldn't hear him!

"I'm merely following someone's request, but rest assured, benefactor, the old monk will ensure your safety!" Upon hearing Yun Hao's words, Ku Zhi was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Yun Hao to have guessed this far!

"Can you tell me who wants to kill me? I imagine someone capable of enlisting your help isn't just anyone, right? It would save me from dying cluelessly!"

"I cannot tell you who it is, but I assure you, I won't kill you. Even if that person comes in person, I will keep you safe!" Ku Zhi shook his head, not revealing the identity of the person!

However, Yun Hao wasn't particularly eager to find out. If he could leave safely, he figured he could ask Bai Lang and get some clues!

After all, in Huaxia, there aren't many who could summon a martial arts master like Ku Zhi to kill him. Bai Lang should quickly suspect the likely candidate!

"Alright, I've told you what you wanted to know, benefactor. Come back to the temple's rear mountain with the old monk for practice. In ten years, your cultivation would make great strides, perhaps even reaching the Sixth Grade Martial Artist realm!"

While speaking, Ku Zhi reached out to grab Yun Hao's shoulder, intending to take him back!

Yun Hao turned around, but instead of leaving with Ku Zhi, he delivered a palm strike straight to Ku Zhi's chest!

This palm strike seemed light and slow, but packed an astonishing explosive force!

Even an expert like Xiao Zhenye would be seriously injured and lose combat power if hit by this strike!

This palm technique, named Broken Void, is an intermediate technique from the Immortal Refining Technique, typically usable at Body Refinement Fifth Layer. Yun Hao at Body Refinement Fourth Layer was forcing its use, depleting all his internal evil qi!

Yun Hao was confident in this strike. He didn't dare to think he'd severely injure Ku Zhi, but was sure it would at least cause some trouble, buying him half a minute!

Bang!

Off guard, Ku Zhi hurriedly raised his palm to meet. Adding to the unexpected force of Yun Hao's strike, he was slightly shaken!

As for Yun Hao, when struck, he stumbled backward!

Luckily, Yun Hao anticipated this and had taken his last Soul Reviving Pill. The moment he hit the ground, he dashed frantically toward the depths of Great Gold Mountain.

Yes, Yun Hao's plan was to dive into the forest. He didn't believe he couldn't evade Ku Zhi's search. Although Jinshan Temple was on Great Gold Mountain, he was born with a familiarity with the mountains, certain he wouldn't lose to Ku Zhi!

Yun Hao ran fast, putting every ounce of strength into it, fighting for every second!

"Why so persistent, benefactor? You won't escape!" Realizing Yun Hao's intentions, Ku Zhi began to chase!

Although Yun Hao was fast, compared to Ku Zhi, he was much slower!

The gap that was thirty meters quickly closed by five meters!

"Why be so persistent yourself?" Yun Hao looked back to see Ku Zhi rapidly approaching, nearly scaring the life out of him—damn, was Ku Zhi flying?

If Yun Hao's speed was comparable to a sprinting car, then Ku Zhi's was like an airplane, on a completely different level!

Whoosh!

Fortunately, just as Ku Zhi was within ten meters, Yun Hao plunged into the forest!

Upon entering the woods, Yun Hao seemed like a returning tiger, leaping and dodging thorns, his speed not much slower than on flat ground!

In contrast, Ku Zhi clearly moved much slower but still kept a ten-meter distance from Yun Hao!

No matter how Yun Hao changed direction, he couldn't widen the gap by even a meter!

This was awkward!

Though Ku Zhi couldn't catch him immediately, as time went on, he would adapt to the jungle movement, and catching Yun Hao would soon only be a matter of time!

"Benefactor, why not return with the old monk to the temple's rear mountain for practice—both nurturing your spirit and enhancing your cultivation? A win-win, why not?"

Noticing this, Ku Zhi kept chasing while shouting to Yun Hao.

Yun Hao didn't respond to Ku Zhi, not out of disdain, but lack of time to reply. Right now, his entire focus was on escaping!

Yet, even with all his efforts, after half an hour, Ku Zhi blocked his way!

Seeing the faint smile on Ku Zhi's face ahead, Yun Hao looked frustrated. It seemed he had no choice but to return to Jinshan Temple and await Bai Lang's rescue!

Resigned, Yun Hao accepted fate, following Ku Zhi out of the forest with a cheerful Ku Zhi!

"Yun Hao, come back to the sect for trial immediately!"

Just as Yun Hao thought he'd be stuck chanting at Jinshan Temple for a while, a cold female voice rang out, and a woman in a white dress appeared ten meters ahead!

It was Dai Mengni, who was fixated on capturing Yun Hao and taking him back to Wuji Sect for trial!
