Five minutes earlier...
After leaving the Pursuit Team's base, Cifera had been running through wide, open streets, as if challenging her pursuers to a simple speed contest.
Seeing the clear road ahead, Zhang Hong immediately unleashed his full speed, determined to capture Cifera as quickly as possible!
In a pure speed race, Feng Chiyu's advantage wasn't as clear-cut as expected. Despite giving it his all, he remained slightly behind, bringing up the rear.
But Feng Chiyu wasn't frustrated by this; he was actually somewhat pleased.
He believed Cifera's choice of escape route clearly showed she feared his Parkour skills more than Zhang Hong's explosive power. In her eyes, his Parkour skills posed a greater threat than Zhang Hong's raw speed.
In reality, Feng Chiyu knew Zhang Hong's explosive power was truly astonishing, rivaling that of professional athletes. Cifera's choice was likely born of desperation, and she might well have been captured by Zhang Hong's raw power.
Yet reality defied Feng Chiyu's expectations.
Five minutes later, as he gradually closed the gap on Zhang Hong, he realized the distance between Zhang Hong and Cifera hadn't narrowed at all.
After a five-minute burst of high-intensity sprinting, Zhang Hong's stamina had visibly deteriorated, his speed noticeably declining.
Feng Chiyu couldn't believe it—Zhang Hong, a special forces elite, was losing in a pure speed contest!
No wonder Cifera had chosen such a straightforward escape route—her speed and endurance clearly surpassed Zhang Hong's!
Meanwhile, viewers watching the live stream were now witnessing the chase unfold.
Under the scorching sun, heat waves shimmered and distorted the road.
Cifera's figure moved with the lightness of a leaf caught in the wind, darting swiftly through the streets.
As she ran, Cifera occasionally glanced back, a mischievous grin spreading across her face, her breathing remarkably steady for someone pushing her limits—as if she were merely out for a stroll.
Ten meters behind her, Zhang Hong and Feng Chiyu relentlessly pursued, but their sweat-soaked clothes and labored breathing stood in stark contrast to Cifera's effortless pace.
[Who said Cifera couldn't shake them off? Looks like she's actually holding back!]
[Zhang Hong and Feng Chiyu are clearly exhausted, but look at the close-up the director just cut to Cifera—not a drop of sweat!]
[I watched Cifera's entire live stream. At first, Zhang Hong's speed was terrifying—I was genuinely afraid she'd get caught on the spot. But turns out he was just a paper tiger; he was spent after only five minutes.]
[Zhang Hong is no paper tiger! He led his team to victory in the last World Special Forces Competition. His explosive power and endurance were universally recognized as unparalleled in that competition. We can only assume he's facing an even more terrifying opponent this time.]
[If Cifera can outrun them so easily, what's she even doing right now?]
[It's obvious—she's just toying with them, taking them for a walk.]
[That smirk Cifera gave over her shoulder—I don't know what Zhang Hong and Feng Chiyu were thinking, but my blood pressure shot through the roof!]
[How despicable, Cifera! If you've got the guts, ditch the main road! Feng Chiyu can't showcase his parkour skills here!]
[Upstairs, stop joking! This is a manhunt, not a parkour competition! Isn't it perfectly normal for Cifera to choose the escape method she excels at?]
[Oh, so the Cat Fans are finally admitting Cifera is scared of Feng Chiyu's parkour skills?]
Just as the Bullet Comments began to question Cifera's parkour skills compared to Feng Chiyu's,
On the screen, Cifera seemed to be responding to the Bullet Comments. She suddenly veered off the main road onto a shaded path.
Through the camera's lens, it was clear this was a dead end. The path led to a private courtyard villa, completely blocked by a three-meter-high wall and iron gate, forming a natural pocket.
[Ha! Cifera has nowhere to run now!]
[There's a way out—she just needs to vault over the villa wall. But that would negate her speed advantage.]
[Fate intervenes! Now Feng Chiyu can finally unleash his full potential! I bet a dime Cifera gets caught before she even clears the wall.]
Feng Chiyu, hot on Cifera's heels, also spotted the situation ahead. He immediately shouted to Zhang Hong:
"Brother Zhang, this is our chance! Cover our rear and make sure Cifera can't double back."
With that, Feng Chiyu slightly accelerated. Having conserved his stamina earlier when he couldn't keep up with their initial pace, he had been waiting for just such an opportunity to turn the tables with his parkour skills.
In his view, since Cifera had focused on maximizing her strengths and minimizing her weaknesses from the start, her parkour skills couldn't be too impressive.
He was certain she wouldn't be able to clear the fence as quickly as he could. By unleashing his maximum speed now, he could close the gap in an instant.
When Cifera tried to vault over, he'd likely be able to grab her ankle!
At that moment, the Pursuit Team's morale would instantly surge, and he'd finally erase the humiliation of being "played for five minutes"!
This ends here, Cifera!
Seeing Cifera still charging toward the iron gate without slowing down, he knew she was truly planning to vault over.
However, when he noticed her ridiculously low foot placement, he realized her Parkour skills were even worse than he'd imagined.
Perhaps I won't even need to intervene. She'll probably fail on her own.
"Brother Zhang, she won't make it. Prepare to apprehend her... What?!"
Feng Chiyu's words were cut short by the scene unfolding before him.
As Cifera reached the iron gate, her toes landed on a precisely positioned foothold at the base. Her body, seemingly weightless, launched into the air!
With a single hand pressed against the top of the gate, she executed a flawless, gymnastic-like flip over the fence. Her pink and blue ribbons trailed behind her, drawing a crisp arc in the air.
As she vaulted over, she even had the presence of mind to glance back at Feng Chiyu, a mischievous curve playing at the corner of her lips.
Like she was saying:Little Feng, doesn't This Cat Look Stunning Now?
The entire maneuver was flawlessly executed, taking less than a second.
Seeing Cifera's effortless, weightless vault—as if defying the laws of physics—Feng Chiyu's mind erupted in shock!
This... this point of leverage... this height and speed... how is this even possible?!
He prided himself on having mastered his own techniques to near perfection, but Cifera's movements seemed like a natural extension of her instincts, devoid of any trace of training yet impossibly flawless. They possessed a wild, illogical efficiency.
Compared to Cifera's movements, his own meticulously honed techniques felt as artificial as a textbook formula facing a primal law of nature.
Every precise movement he had painstakingly perfected over years of training suddenly seemed clumsy and contrived in the face of her effortless, gazelle-like leap.
Seeing Feng Chiyu suddenly freeze, Zhang Hong shouted from behind:
"Brother Feng, don't freeze up! Keep chasing her!"
The shout snapped Feng Chiyu out of his stunned trance. His expression instantly shifted from shock to wild elation.
Suddenly, he realized he had stumbled upon a breakthrough—a chance to become even stronger!
Without a moment's regret over being outshone, Feng Chiyu now only craved to follow immediately and witness more of Cifera's movements!
