“No!”
Mu Wanjun’s expression changed.
She knew her own situation. If it had been just now, she could have tangled with Mai Xiongbo for a bit, but now that Autumn Water Flowing霞’s taboo backlash had set in, she had almost no combat power. How could Chen Ping’an, who was merely at Qi Blood Sixth Stage Perfection, be Mai Xiongbo’s opponent?
Chen Ping’an reacted extremely quickly, pulling Mu Wanjun and running into the distance.
“Where are you running?!”
Mai Xiongbo, filled with killing intent, chased after the two.
He had seen Mu Wanjun’s backlash with his own eyes. Although he was injured, dealing with the two in their current state was more than enough!
“Yan Wu! I heard your spear technique is excellent; today, this old man will meet you!”
Watching Mai Xiongbo give chase, Kuang Dahai laughed unrestrainedly.
“Kuang Dahai, you’re seeking death!”
Yan Wu’s face was filled with rage, and his Internal Energy surged to its extreme, instantly covering his long spear.
Kuang Dahai had been famous for many years; he dared not be careless facing him today.
“Junior, let this old man see your capabilities!”
Kuang Dahai’s hundred pattern blade subtly shimmered with golden light.
.......
Chen Ping’an pulled Mu Wanjun, running frantically through the streets and alleys. It was fine at first, but later Mu Wanjun began to struggle.
Mai Xiongbo was chasing very closely behind. Chen Ping’an didn’t hesitate, scooping Mu Wanjun into his arms and fleeing frantically.
Holding Mu Wanjun, his purpose was clear: he ran towards the southwest.
At this moment, Wei River’s South City had fallen into chaos. This chaos was more severe than he had imagined. The Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s actions were not just simple fires. They had also dispatched a considerable number of experts to launch sneak attacks on several key locations.
“Ping’an… put me down! Put me down, and you still have a chance to escape!”
Mu Wanjun’s consciousness was already somewhat unclear.
Already heavily injured, facing Autumn Water Flowing霞’s taboo backlash, she appeared so helpless and fragile.
Her originally flushed cheeks had now become incredibly pale, and her complexion was getting worse and worse.
Chen Ping’an’s footwork shifted like an illusion.
“How is he so fast?!”
Mai Xiongbo, chasing from behind, had an unpleasant look on his face.
He had thought that with Chen Ping’an carrying someone, he should be able to catch up very quickly. He never expected the other party’s speed to be so fast.
Mai Xiongbo had no idea that at this moment, Chen Ping’an had pushed Eight Steps Catching Cicadas to its limit.
Aside from not using Internal Energy to control it, his Qi and blood power had already surged to its maximum.
Chen Ping’an ran frantically, and Mu Wanjun, held in his arms, became increasingly disoriented, seemingly on the verge of collapsing.
“Ping’an… don’t mind me, you run first!”
“My lady, rest assured! I’ve got this!”
Chen Ping’an held Mu Wanjun, comforting her in a low voice.
Finally, Mu Wanjun’s consciousness could no longer hold on, and she fainted in Chen Ping’an’s embrace.
Chen Ping’an ran for a while longer, winding through turns until he reached a secluded spot. He calmly surveyed his surroundings, seeing trees, scattered rocks, and no signs of human presence.
Even within the outer city’s alleys, there were desolate areas.
Chen Ping’an’s speed gradually slowed down.
“Finally, he can’t keep going!”
Seeing Chen Ping’an slow down, Mai Xiongbo rejoiced in his heart.
Chen Ping’an held Mu Wanjun and gently placed her on the ground. After doing this, Chen Ping’an turned to face Mai Xiongbo, who had already caught up.
“What? Can’t run anymore?”
Mai Xiongbo’s face showed a playful smile. But seeing Chen Ping’an’s calm expression, he secretly grew wary. He couldn’t understand how a kid who hadn’t even entered the Inner Qi Realm could remain unfazed when being chased by him.
“You picked a good spot! This place is lush with trees; dying here counts as a good feng shui location!”
“It is indeed a good place!”
Chen Ping’an smiled faintly.
Seeing Chen Ping’an like this, Mai Xiongbo had no patience to waste words with him. Was that kid trying to play mind games with him?
“Die!”
Mai Xiongbo’s palms instantly turned pitch black.
Whoosh!
The palm wind howled, striking towards Chen Ping’an’s head.
“Hmph!”
Chen Ping’an snorted coldly.
At this moment, he no longer held back in the slightest; Internal Energy surged madly within his Dantian and Qi Sea.
Golden Bell Cover, cultivated both externally and internally. Externally, it provided body tempering; internally, Internal Energy resisted.
“I’ll block!”
Clang!
Mai Xiongbo’s pitch-black palm struck Chen Ping’an’s head, and he withstood it head-on.
“A master of hard cultivation!”
Mai Xiongbo’s expression changed instantly.
He had misjudged! This kid… this kid actually…
Mai Xiongbo’s body shifted, wanting to change his Move.
However, Chen Ping’an wouldn’t give him that chance.
A whip kick went towards Mai Xiongbo’s vulnerable waist and abdomen.
Slap!
Mai Xiongbo used a single palm to forcefully block Chen Ping’an’s kick.
If one strike missed, then another!
Chen Ping’an flipped and delivered another kick, this one infused with surging Internal Energy, making it incredibly powerful.
Slap!
Mai Xiongbo blocked with his forearm, enduring it head-on.
If two strikes missed, keep going!
Eight Steps Catching Cicadas!
Strike after strike, continuous and unending.
Waist, chest, head…
It wasn’t just Eight Steps Catching Cicadas; although Golden Bell Cover was a body tempering Cultivation Technique, it also had some offensive methods.
Fists, elbows, knees!
If Mai Xiongbo had been in his peak state, Chen Ping’an wouldn’t have been able to suppress him so easily. But Mai Xiongbo was already injured, and with Chen Ping’an’s sudden outburst,
Mai Xiongbo became extremely passive, falling into Chen Ping’an’s rhythm.
Thump!
Chen Ping’an kicked Mai Xiongbo hard in the chest, the immense force sending him reeling backward.
Damn it!
Mai Xiongbo’s eyes were bloodshot; how could he accept being repelled? His palms seemed to swell even larger, and his hand movements changed as he fiercely struck towards Chen Ping’an.
The moment Mai Xiongbo attacked with his palm, Chen Ping’an also made his Move.
Clang!
He drew the sharp hundred pattern blade from his waist, and amidst a flash of cold light, a voice rang out.
“Gale Quick Saber Slash!”
The saber in Chen Ping’an’s hand spun in a strange arc, accelerating abruptly in an instant, avoiding Mai Xiongbo’s palms, and chopping fiercely towards his face.
Gale Quick Saber Slash!
Only with Swift Wind Saber Technique at Major Achievement could one master this killing secret technique!
When he activated it with the strength of an Inner Qi Realm Second Stage, the power unleashed far exceeded that of Zuo Wumei back then!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
The edge was sharp!
“This is…”
Mai Xiongbo felt an incredibly heart-trembling aura.
The next moment, his body seemed to lose its support, moving forward only by inertia. Midway, before his momentum had dissipated, his entire body split into two, like a tree branch.
Mai Xiongbo, fallen!
“Gale Quick Saber Slash! With the intent of a gale, cut down all lawlessness!”
Chen Ping’an stood holding his saber, an endless surge of heroic spirit welling up in his heart.
After his arduous cultivation until now, a powerful expert at Inner Qi Realm Second Stage, capable of stirring up trouble in a region, was finally trampled under his feet.
“You were right, this is indeed the feng shui treasure land I found for you!”
