Chapter 136
As it turned out, after Xiao Chen had killed Bufan Sha and Cruel Killer, he had fled as fast as he could. However, he was still chased by Tiger Killer, who was extremely fast and powerful. Xiao Chen had no choice but to turn around and fight Tiger Killer.
After exchanging a few blows, both sides suffered losses. Xiao Chen’s injuries were slightly more serious. He didn’t dare to continue fighting, as he was worried that the experts from the Sha Clan would rush over to support him. Hence, he decided to use a high-grade Desolate Technique to sneak an attack on Dragon Slaughter, settling the score once and for all.
However, Dragon Slaughter was cautious. When he saw Xiao Chen’s wooden sword trembling violently, he immediately retreated and unleashed the Berserker Bestowment, instantly raising his cultivation base to the third level of Celestial Phenomenon. His aura was so powerful that even Xiao Chen felt fear. At this moment, Xiao Chen was basically no longer a match for Dragon Slaughter.
The Chaotic Divine Sound could allow one to be unrivalled within the same cultivation level, but its effect wasn’t obvious when used against those at a higher cultivation level. Hence, Xiao Chen was sent flying by Dragon Slaughter.
If it wasn’t for Xiao Chen’s extremely strong combat instincts, he would have been able to twist his body at the critical moment of life and death, dodging the attack. If it wasn’t for that, he wouldn’t have been insta-killed by Dragon Slaughter. However, the area from the upper right side of his chest to his right shoulder was also injured by the terrifying saber Qi. All the bones in that area were fractured, and the broken bones pierced into his flesh, even injuring his internal organs.
Just when Dragon Slaughter laughed malevolently as he walked towards the heavily injured Xiao Chen, preparing to slice Xiao Chen into a thousand pieces, the yellow dog that had been hiding in the corner transformed into The Lion King. After which, its silhouette erupted with terrifying speed, transforming into a beam of light that pounced towards the defenseless Dragon Slaughter from the side.
When Da Huang attacked, Kill Dragon felt it. His expression changed, he could smell death. He tried his best to dodge, but it was too late. This was because Da Huang’s speed was too fast, faster than he could imagine. He only had enough time to turn his head slightly and swing his sword at the powerful existence. Then, he felt his chest being attacked by a powerful beast claw. Then, his body was thrown to the ground by the attacker.
At that moment, Killing Tiger saw that the attacker was a ferocious Lion King with cold eyes and sharp fangs. He immediately felt despair because he felt that this Lion King could easily crush his throat. In that instant, he felt extremely regretful that he had been too careless. Because he had been too angry, he had forgotten to pay attention to the danger around him.
He had also thought of activating the Desolate Power Armor, but it was clearly too late. This was because the Lion King had already opened its bloody mouth and bit down on his throat. With the creepy sound of bones breaking, his throat was instantly bitten off by the Lion King. Even his screams turned into silent screams. He died with his eyes wide open.
“Oh?
Cave? ”
As he recalled, Xiao Chen’s mind was in a trance due to the excessive blood loss. His head felt groggy. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly felt that the running Da Huang had stopped. Furthermore, he felt that his body was no longer drenched in the rain. Hence, he tried his best to open his heavy eyelids. When he looked up, he immediately understood that Da Huang had brought him to a cave.
“Dong!”
Xiao Chen climbed down from the tall Lion King’s body with great difficulty. However, due to his weak body, he could not stand stably. He fell on his buttocks on the hard, cold stone slabs, producing loud thuds.
“Da Huang, protect me.”
Xiao Chen grimaced from the fall. His face had turned green, but he did not stand up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sat cross-legged on his knees. Without waiting for Da Huang’s response, he quickly closed his eyes and entered a cultivation state. He wanted to make the best use of his time to recuperate. This was because he did not know how long it would take for the pursuers of the Sha family to find this place.
The mighty Lion King, Da Huang, with all his hair standing on end, glanced indifferently at the motionless Xiao Chen. He walked to the side and with a tremble, his massive body suddenly shrunk. In just a few moments, he had shrunk to the size of a small mutt. It was shabby and inconspicuous. Compared to the mighty Lion King, it was like heaven and earth.
The yellow dog curled up into a ball and indifferently scanned the rainy night outside the cave. Following that, it buried its head in its body and actually fell asleep. How was this befitting of a protector?
It was shameful.
Xiao Chen had no idea that Big Yellow was sleeping soundly. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. He was severely injured, and he had been soaked in the rain for nearly four hours. Even if his body was made of iron, it wouldn’t be able to withstand it. He had become extremely weak, and if he didn’t take care of his injuries, his life would be in danger.
Time passed quickly and soon, two hours had passed. Xiao Chen’s body recovered quickly. His injuries were under effective control. His wounds were no longer bleeding and had already scabbed. His face had regained some color and his breathing was calm. As long as he had enough time to recuperate, he believed that he would be able to make a complete recovery very soon.
The last fifth-grade Desolate Yuan Pill had been swallowed. This time, six of Xiao Chen’s bones were broken and his muscles were severely injured. Fortunately, his internal organs were not too badly injured, which allowed him to preserve his life. With the help of the Desolate Yuan Pill, he controlled the Power of Desolates to constantly connect his broken bones, nourish his flesh and blood, and smooth out his meridians. His injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The yellow dog was still curled up in the corner of the cave like a dead dog. It was sleeping soundly, as if it was exhausted from running more than a thousand miles. However, with its strength, it could run more than ten thousand miles in one go, much less a thousand miles. It was indeed a strange “dog” for it to be able to sleep so well.
“Splash!”
The heavy rain outside did not stop. It was as if it would not stop until the entire continent was submerged.
“Da! Da!
Da! “At this moment, about five kilometers away from the cave where Xiao Chen was recuperating, a group of more than a thousand people were braving the heavy rain and rushing towards the cave at full speed. It was as if they already knew that Xiao Chen was in front of them. It was a very strange feeling.
The leader of the group was an elder with an imposing aura. It was Heaven Breaker, but no one expected that the Ji Clan’s Patriarch, Ji Chenggong, and the Ji Clan’s Young Clan Head, Ji Haoyue, were following closely behind Heaven Breaker.
Ji Chenggong and Ji Haoyue had suffered greatly because of Xiao Chen. It was natural for them to pursue Xiao Chen, but it was unbelievable that they were able to maintain such a close distance with Heaven Breaker. Could it be that they were able to help Heaven Breaker find the missing Xiao Chen?
Looking at the direction they were heading, it seemed to be the case …
“City Lord, if there are no accidents, Xiao Chen should be hiding somewhere in the mountain ridge ahead!”
After the thousand-man group ran for about seven to eight kilometers, Ji Chenggong suddenly spoke to Heaven Breaker with a fawning expression.
“En?”
Sky Breaker suddenly stopped, raised his right hand, and made a gesture to the troops behind him to stop. His sharp eyes coldly glanced at the mountains two miles ahead of him and said in a deep voice, “Patriarch Ji, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
“This … the Soul-Chasing Fox sensed that Xiao Chen is not far ahead. I believe it is correct, right?”
Ji Chenggong didn’t dare to be too sure. He looked at the fox type desolate beast that was the size of a squirrel that was crouching on Ji Chenggong’s left shoulder and spoke in a tactful manner.
When Heaven Breaker heard Ji Chenggong’s uncertain tone, his thick brows knitted slightly. He glanced at the little fellow on Ji Chenggong’s shoulder and gradually relaxed his brows. He spoke with satisfaction, “En, the Soul-Chasing Fox’s senses are very accurate. If Clan Head Ji is able to find Xiao Chen, your Ji Clan will have made a great contribution. Meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and crimes will be punished. This has always been the style of this City Lord. After we kill that bastard Xiao Chen, I will betroth Buyu to Ji Haoyue!”
“Eh!
Thank you, City Lord. Ji Haoyue, hurry up and thank the City Lord! ”
Ji Chenggong didn’t dare to show too much joy on his face, but he was overjoyed in his heart. He quickly cupped his fists and expressed his gratitude. He then ordered the equally overjoyed Ji Haoyue to quickly kneel down.
“Plop!”
“Haoyue thanks City Lord for granting my wish!”
Ji Haoyue had coveted Sha Buyu’s noble status and hot body for years. When he heard that he might be able to marry Sha Buyu, he was so excited that he knelt down on one knee and thanked Heaven Breaker with utmost respect and gratitude. He almost knelt down on both knees and called him grandpa.
Heaven Breaker ignored Ji Haoyue and turned his eyes to the front. He yelled out with a murderous aura, “Sha Clan’s guards and Sha Clan’s Black Clan’s Cavalry, listen up. Form a fan formation and surround the mountain ridge in front. Use all your strength to capture Xiao Chen. If you see him escaping, kill him without mercy!”
“Yes!
City Lord Sha! ”
Thousands of Sha Clan’s experts behind Heaven Breaker responded in a deep voice. Their figures burst out and spread out. They formed into a fishing formation and sprinted forward quickly and quietly. All their weapons were quietly drawn out while their killing aura soared into the sky. Heaven Breaker personally sat in the center of the formation like a general of slaughter — mighty and domineering.
“Follow up!”
Ji Chenggong and Ji Haoyue looked at each other and let out a complacent smile. They led the hundreds of Ji Clan’s experts behind them and sprinted forward to cooperate with the Sha Clan to capture Xiao Chen.
The fishing line had been pulled, and they were just waiting for the small fish, Xiao Chen, to enter.
