Complete one practice method every day

The pharmacy's guards patrol along fixed routes and at a set pace, and this was not the time for a change of guards.

The idea had just formed in Chen Yue's mind.

"Bang!"

The wooden door of the alchemy room was kicked hard from the outside by a tremendous force. The bolt broke instantly, and the heavy door panel was violently shaken open, slamming heavily against the wall with a loud bang, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Three figures, exuding an undisguised ferocity, suddenly rushed in through the broken doorway, each carrying a long, unsheathed sword, its blade gleaming coldly in the dimming light.

"A swift and decisive battle is needed; the guards outside have already noticed!"

The most burly man let out a low shout, like metal scraping against metal. Before his words had even finished, the three men's longswords, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, descended upon Chen Yue, who was still seated in his chair.

The blade flashed fiercely, sealing off all his space to dodge, clearly intended to severely injure and capture him instantly!

In the blink of an eye, the moment Chen Yue sensed the aura of the three people at the Body Refinement Realm, his inner strength had already instinctively begun to circulate.

It did not choose to confront the enemy head-on, nor did it attempt to slip through the gaps in the blade net.

Just before the three men's blades were about to strike him, Chen Yue slammed his feet against the chair legs, and the sturdy wooden chair instantly shattered into pieces!

Using the force of the recoil, Chen Yue was like an arrow shot from a powerful bow, crashing into the closed window on the other side of the room at an incredible angle and speed.

"Splash!"

The wooden window frame, along with the paper covering it, shattered with a crash when he slammed into it. Chen Yue's figure, like an owl leaping through the window, vanished instantly into the deepening twilight outside.

"Chase!"

The three were clearly surprised by Chen Yue's decisive and swift reaction, and even more surprised by how fast he crashed through the window. A look of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the burly leader Zhou Yi, but his movements did not stop at all. With a sharp shout, he followed closely behind and leaped out of the broken window!

However, when they landed in the courtyard, Chen Yue nimbly scaled the nearly two-person-high wall with one hand, just like a nimble ape, and then jumped down without hesitation.

The whole process was so smooth and fast that it was dazzling. It was not like the speed and agility of a martial artist in the Skin Refining Realm.

"This movement technique..." Zhou Yi's pupils contracted slightly, his surprise and doubt growing even stronger.

The intelligence was wrong again! Chen Yue's speed is comparable to some skilled Body Refinement Realm experts who excel in movement techniques, but now is not the time to investigate further.

"Chase him! We can't let him get away!"

Zhou Yi roared, and the three of them sped up again, leaping over the wall to chase after them. The sound of clothes rustling in the wind and footsteps echoed in the alley.

At the same time, the chaotic shouts and running sounds of the guards finally came from the front yard of the pharmacy and other directions.

"Enemy attack!"

"At the Alchemy Institute in the west!"

"Protect Master Lin! Protect Master Chen!"

The commotion alerted the guards in other parts of the pharmacy. Several guards, carrying weapons, rushed nervously to the alchemy courtyard where Chen Yue was.

However, when they rushed into the courtyard, they found the door wide open, the windows broken, the interior in a mess, with chair fragments and wood chips scattered all over the floor, but no one was there.

"Where is Master Chen Dan?"

"Oh no! Master Chen has been kidnapped!"

"Quickly! Notify Manager Chen Lin to give chase!"

The guards' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately realized what had happened. Some rushed to report, some began searching for traces inside and outside the courtyard, and many more grabbed their weapons and chased after the alleyway where the commotion had occurred, creating chaos.

Guards immediately rushed to the courtyard where Lin Quan lived, urgently knocking on the door: "Master Lin! Master Lin! Are you alright?"

A moment later, the door opened, and Lin Quan poked his head out with some surprise and uncertainty: "What's all this commotion about?"

Seeing that Lin Quan was safe and sound, the guards breathed a sigh of relief, but their doubts only deepened.

"Master Lin, I'm so glad you're alright... There was a thief who broke in just now, and something might have happened to Master Chen Yue and Alchemist Chen." A junior guard said hurriedly.

"Something happened to Chen Yue?" Lin Quan's expression changed, all sleepiness gone. "What happened? Tell me quickly!"

When Lin Quan heard the guard describe the mess in Chen Yue's room, while he himself remained completely still, Lin Quan frowned.

"Why did the thief only target Chen Yue? This old man here..." He looked at his peaceful courtyard, then glanced in the direction of Chen Yue's courtyard, his mind racing.

As night deepened, the pharmacy was brightly lit, but people were filled with unease.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Lin rushed over, his face ashen. While directing his guards to expand the search area and requesting assistance from the Chen family, he was also filled with doubts.

At this moment, in the crisscrossing alleys of Youlin County, Chen Yue's figure darted forward. His steps seemed chaotic, but he always managed to use the uneven brick and stone ground for leverage, his figure twisting and turning erratically, making the most of the complex terrain of the alleys.

However, three dark figures followed closely behind, like a persistent thorn in their side.

The abundant blood and stamina of a martial artist in the Refining Flesh Realm were on full display at this moment. Although his agility was not as good as Chen Yue's, his speed in straight-line sprints and long-distance raids was by no means slow.

Although Chen Yue's exquisite footwork prevented them from closing the distance quickly, they were not left behind either.

Zhou Yi, who was in the lead, watched Chen Yue flee in a direction that grew increasingly sinister. That kid was running directly towards the Chen family's main mansion.

"We can't let him go any further!" Zhou Yi was anxious, and even more so, he felt a surge of suppressed anger.

They were three experts at the Body Refining Realm, and despite their meticulous planning, they couldn't even defeat a mere Skin Refining Realm kid. He even led them all the way to the Chen family.

This is an absolute disgrace!

"Yuan Shi!" Zhou Yi shouted in a low voice.

"Understood!" Yuan Shidi, the thinnest of the three, replied in a low voice.

A ruthless glint and a pang of pain flashed in his eyes. His exposed skin instantly flushed an unnatural red, and blood rushed through his skin, making a faint hissing sound.

Yuan Shi's speed suddenly increased dramatically, like an arrow released from a bow, instantly overtaking Zhou Yi and another person, Jia Ge, and rapidly closing the distance with Chen Yue!

Five zhang... three zhang... one zhang!

Yuan Shi's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He raised his long sword, the blade drawing a cold arc in the darkness, aiming straight for Chen Yue's back.

He was determined to strike and severely injure Chen Yue, rendering him unable to move.

However, just as he was about to thrust the blade forward...

Chen Yue, who had been speeding ahead, suddenly stopped without warning, going from extreme motion to extreme stillness.

Then Chen Yue suddenly turned around. His face was expressionless, but his eyes shone frighteningly in the darkness.

Chen Yue did not retreat. Instead, he used the force of turning around to change his footwork of the Floating Light and Shadow Technique. His figure turned in the opposite direction like a ghost, not only avoiding the incoming knife, but also instantly getting close to Yuan Shi, who was tired of using his moves.

The two were very close!

Yuan Shi could even smell the faint herbal scent on Chen Yue's body and see the icy killing intent in his eyes.
