Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 247 – Escape Technique

Lin Fan’s voice was soft, yet it sent a jolt through Lu Yuan’s heart.

The Dragon Clan girl before him—her entire aura had changed.

“Come on.” Lin Fan beckoned with her finger.

Lu Yuan’s scalp tingled. Not daring to hold anything back any longer, his entire body erupted in a brilliant light as he pushed his speed to its absolute limit.

He didn’t attack, choosing instead to focus all his attention on dodging.

The next moment, Lin Fan moved.

Her figure left a faint afterimage in its place as her real body appeared like a phantom to Lu Yuan’s left.

There was no earth-shattering burst of energy, just a simple, direct roundhouse kick. Her fluttering skirt wrapped around a stocking-clad calf, which carved a vicious arc, tearing through the air.

Lu Yuan was horrified. The speed he was so proud of seemed a step too slow in front of her.

He rolled away wretchedly, barely managing to dodge.

Swish…

The wind from the kick swept past, slicing a small cut across his cheek.

“Too slow,” Lin Fan’s voice, like a nightmare, sounded from behind him.

Without a second thought, Lu Yuan’s body instantly elementalized, transforming into a streak of light that shot forward ten meters.

But just as he regained his footing, a foot in a black high-heeled shoe appeared silently above his head, descending with the force of a mountain.

“What the hell!”

Lu Yuan yelped, his entire body shooting backward like a compressed spring.

Boom!

A deep crater was stomped into the ground.

The next few minutes were an absolute nightmare for Lu Yuan.

Lin Fan’s figure was like a maggot clinging to bone—inescapable and everywhere.

Her attacks were simple to the extreme, but the angle and timing of each strike were incredibly cunning, as if honed by a thousand battles into pure instinct.

All of Lu Yuan’s light-based attacks, whether Light Spears or Light Swords, would be deflected by a strange Mental Strength or directly neutralized by her with a skillful technique that redirected his force before they could even touch her body.

He was like a child being toyed with by an adult, completely powerless to fight back.

Every dodge took all his strength, and every counterattack seemed utterly laughable.

“Bang!”

Failing to dodge again, Lu Yuan was struck hard in the back by Lin Fan’s elbow.

He flew like a kite with a snapped string, rolling several times on the ground before stopping. A sweet taste filled his throat, and he almost coughed up blood.

“No… no more fighting!” Lu Yuan lay on the ground, gasping for air as he raised his hands. “I surrender! I give up! Big Sis, you’re my real sis! Someone’s going to die if this keeps up!”

Lin Fan slowly walked over to him and looked down, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

“Is this the skill that let you survive your encounter with Long Teng?”

Lu Yuan’s face flushed. He leaped up from the ground and patted the dust off his clothes. “That’s different! That old geezer Long Teng fights with wide, powerful swings, overwhelming everything with brute force! I just had to dodge his frontal attacks! But you… you’re just unreasonable! What kind of Dragon Clan member fights like you? You’re like a ghost!”

He was practically roaring in his heart.

That movement, those skills, that ghostly footwork—I’d believe it if you told me she was an assassin from the Cat Clan!

“A loss is a loss,” Lin Fan said flatly. “However, seeing as you can take a beating so well, I’ll give you a chance.”

She held up one finger.

“Ten minutes.”

“In the next ten minutes, as long as I can’t catch you, today’s training will be over.”

Lu Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Can’t catch me?

You said it yourself!

In a fight, I can’t hold a candle to you.

But when it comes to running away…

“Big Sis, you said it yourself! No take-backs!” Lu Yuan’s face once again wore that signature, cheeky grin.

“I never go back on my word.”

The moment her voice fell, the aura around Lu Yuan changed dramatically.

He no longer had any thought of attacking or defending; his entire being, his very essence, was focused on a single word: “Escape.”

“Kaleidoscope!”

Lu Yuan let out a low growl, and his body suddenly erupted in a light more dazzling than the sun.

Lin Fan instinctively narrowed her eyes.

When the light faded, Lu Yuan was gone.

In his place were over a hundred identical “Lu Yuans” made of pure light element, each one emitting the same energy fluctuations.

The next second.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…

The hundred figures of light shot out in all directions like a swarm of locusts, moving at a terrifying speed!

Each light clone left a long trail behind it, drawing a hundred straight lines across the wasteland and instantly spreading out over a radius of several kilometers.

This was the very life-saving technique he had used to escape with his life from under Long Teng’s sword.

It wasn’t meant to harm the enemy, only to save his own skin.

He would completely elementalize his body, then split into countless energy forms, indistinguishable from the real one, all fleeing in different directions simultaneously.

As long as a single clone escaped, he would survive.

It was the ultimate escape art!

Lin Fan stood quietly in place, not moving.

Her immense Mental Strength spread out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.

However, in her perception, every one of the hundred light figures felt both real and illusory.

She couldn’t lock onto Lu Yuan’s true body.

The light figures were too fast—so fast that even she couldn’t catch any of them before locking on.

And even if she did catch one, it would most likely be a fake.

In the brief one or two seconds she took to assess the situation, the light figures were already about to disappear over the horizon.

“A little interesting.”

A true smile finally graced the corners of Lin Fan’s lips.

No wonder he could escape from a peak Tier 7 expert.

This single-minded ability to use all one’s energy just to flee was indeed a perfect counter.

She watched the specks of light that were about to vanish completely and spoke slowly. Her voice wasn’t loud, but it carried clearly across the entire wasteland.

“Assessment passed.”

“You can come back now.”

As her voice fell, a speck of light on the distant horizon, just about to disappear, suddenly slowed down.

The light converged, re-forming into Lu Yuan’s figure.

He leaned on his knees, panting heavily as if he’d just been fished out of water, but his face was filled with the ecstatic joy of having survived.

“Hah… hah… Big Sis, you… you have to keep your word…”

He plopped onto the ground, feeling as if all his strength had been drained.

That last move had consumed a massive amount of his energy.

With a few flickers, Lin Fan’s figure appeared before him.

She looked at the wretched Lu Yuan and nodded.

“Not bad speed. Among all the people I’ve met, when it comes to just running away, no one is faster than you. I’m willing to call you the strongest!”

Receiving recognition from such a powerful expert, Lu Yuan chuckled, a little smug. “Of course, this move of mine…”

“But just knowing how to run isn’t enough,” Lin Fan interrupted, her tone becoming indifferent once more.

“We’re about to reach Border Dragon City.”

She raised her head, gazing at the silhouette of the city in the distance, which crouched like a giant beast under the setting sun. A strange light flickered in her golden, vertical pupils.

“The area behind the Rift in Border Dragon City has already fallen. There may be even greater dangers in the future.”

“When the time comes, we’ll have to rely on you to reclaim the lost territory.”

After speaking, she turned and walked toward the carriage, leaving Lu Yuan sitting alone on the ground, the smile on his face slowly freezing.

Danger?

Is there anything more dangerous than you?

He grumbled in his heart but didn’t dare say it out loud. Resigned, he could only pick himself up and follow her.
