<h4>Chapter 1238: Chapter 1246: Madman Gone Berserk (Part 1)</h4>


    As Wang Yan and Hao Dong walked away, Ling Chen slowly stood up from the grass not far from the vige entrance, watching the two departing figures with a yful look.


    It seems Lin Han’s guess was right. These two people came all the way to Xianghe Vige to find Lin Han not to visit a friend, but with other intentions. From their conversation, it seems they want to take Lin Han to Beijing. Moreover, someone is pulling the strings behind them. How interesting, Lin Han is just an ordinary woman, who exactly wants to harm her?


    As he was thinking, Ling Chen suddenly heard a series of terrified shouts from the vige: "Run, the madman is here again!"


    Madman? Ling Chen’s expression changed slightly. Without thinking, he quickly ran towards the vige. Soon, he arrived at Lin Han’s house and saw Lin Han and Lin Chun hiding in the living room, doors tightly closed, not daring to go out. Seeing Ling Chen return, Lin Han hurriedly said: "Stay here with my brother. I’m going to the clinic."


    Before Ling Chen could speak, Lin Han had already hurried out. No need to ask, it was obvious that Lin Han went to the clinic to get the crossbow arrow to subdue the madman with tranquilizer darts, to prevent him from hurting others. Watching Lin Han’s departing figure, Ling Chen felt uneasy and advised: "Little guy, stay here in the room, lock all the doors, don’t go out, understand?" Lin Chun obediently nodded.


    Leaving the house, Ling Chen looked around and noticed that the vigers were all running from the north. The madman Yang Junfeng was likely in the northern part of the vige. Immediately, Ling Chen quickly ran in that direction.


    Soon, Ling Chen saw the remaining dozen or so able-bodied young men in the vige, each armed with a loaded crossbow, shooting continuously at a figure not far away. About thirty meters away, an old man with disheveled hair and dirty clothes was rapidly changing position to avoid the tranquilizer darts.


    Ling Chen carefully observed the madman’s movements, noticing his incredible speed, as the dozen or so crossbows failed to hit him. Soon, the young men’s supply of tranquilizer darts was nearly exhausted. Meanwhile, the madman was advancing step by step towards them, and those young men were in imminent danger.


    Seeing this situation, Ling Chen rushed forward, grabbing one of the young men and shouted: "Quick, take your people and find a higher position to shoot from."


    Hearing Ling Chen’s reminder, the person immediately understood. With a whistle, the others all followed him and ran off.


    Watching the madman slowly approach, Ling Chen stood his ground, his eyes fixed on the opponent’s face. Unfortunately, due to the filth covering his skin, his features were indistinguishable. "Ling Chen, move!" At that moment, Lin Han’s urgent voice came through.


    Turning back, Ling Chen saw Lin Han crouching on the ground, holding a crossbow with both hands, aiming at the advancing madman.


    Whizz!


    With the sound of something piercing the air, a crossbow arrow with a tranquilizer dart was immediately shot out.


    Faced with the fast-flying crossbow arrow, the madman swung his big hand, directly swatting the arrow aside. Not only that, but the madman’s pace was also gradually elerating, his blood-red eyes fixed on Lin Han.


    "Watch out!" Ling Chen shouted: "What are you waiting for, run!"


    Lin Han was momentarily stunned but quickly reacted and hurriedly ran back. Seeing Lin Han speeding up, the madman increased his speed to match. Competing for speed against someone on the Heavenly List was courting disaster. In the blink of an eye, the madman was on Lin Han’s heels, ready to knock her down at any moment.


    Seeing Lin Han in danger, Ling Chen didn’t waste time thinking, instantly using the Nine Yang Qiankun Step, darting forward like a gust of wind. Just as the madman threw a punch, a blur passed in front of Lin Han. Lin Han didn’t know what happened, only feeling a lightness in her body, as if she were aboard a ne.


    When she came to her senses, Ling Chen was holding her in his arms. Looking at Ling Chen, she saw he was panting heavily, his face a bit pale.


    "Are you... okay?" Lin Han asked with concern.


    Ling Chen internally gave a bitter smile, how could he be okay. With such severe injuries, it had only been half a month, there was no way he could have recovered. Just barely using the Nine Yang Qiankun Step earlier made his wounds ache faintly, a wave of weakness sweeping through his body.


    Taking a deep breath, Ling Chen didn’t have time to talk with Lin Han, as the madman had already locked his gaze on them, charging at them. Surveying the surroundings, Ling Chen quickly carried Lin Han over a low wall, cing her in a corner. Then he took the crossbow from Lin Han’s hands, quickly loading a crossbow arrow, and let loose at the charging madman.


    Unsurprisingly, the madman easily deflected the arrow. However, Ling Chen had achieved his goal by drawing the madman’s attention towards him. Immediately, the madman abandoned Lin Han, hidden in the corner, and chased after Ling Chen.


    Ling Chen dared not stay in ce. Even though his body was straining, he could only exert maximum effort to keep his speed, leaving the madman behind. Still, Ling Chen underestimated the prowess of a Heavenly List expert. Additionally, his actions seemed to provoke the madman, whose speed continued to increase, gradually unleashing the power of a Heavenly List expert.


    Whizz!


    As Ling Chen rolled forward, flipping his waist, he found an opening to shoot an arrow, slowing down the madman’s momentum slightly. Taking advantage of this moment, Ling Chen gasped for air, easing the pain in his chest. After resting for two or three seconds, Ling Chen moved his legs again, quickly circling a building.


    At that moment, Lin Han peeked cautiously from the corner, watching Ling Chen sprint like mad, her beautiful eyes filled with shock. In all her life, she’s never seen anyone run so fast, unable to even make out Ling Chen clearly, only catching glimpses of a shadow shing by, the speed incredible.


    Lin Han rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things, but the result was the same. Besides Ling Chen, the madman was the same, both moving so fast her eyes couldn’t keep up.


    Are these... humanly possible? Lin Han thought to herself. If they represented the country in international race events, surely they’d take first ce.


    Soon enough, a minute passed, and Ling Chen felt his body reaching its limits, ready to copse at any moment. At this moment, he was holding on by sheer willpower.


    Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!


    At this time, several piercing sounds cut through the air. Ling Chen looked up to see that those young men had taken his advice, climbing onto rooftops, firing crossbow arrows at the madman from above. With one rapid volley of arrows, the madman’s speed finally slowed, giving Ling Chen a moment to catch his breath.
