Chapter 140
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The red ball of light charged forward, and all the obstacles in its way were blasted away and smashed into pieces. It was unbridled and unstoppable like a hot knife through butter!
“Ah — —”
The screams continued. Countless people were injured and some were even killed by the collision. The scene was extremely chaotic and messy with countless casualties.
“Swish!”
After a few breaths, the red light ball broke through the encirclement of the pursuers. It didn’t slow down at all as it flew across the dark night like a meteor.
“Boom!”
The Vajra Palm at the back lost its target and continued to fly at high speed. It happened to be heading in the direction of the chaotic pursuers. When the Vajra Palm hit two White Tiger Realm martial artists, the energy exploded and the two martial artists were instantly blown into pieces. The pieces carried an incomparable amount of power and shot in all directions.
“Ah, ah, ah!”
Another wave of ghostly wails and wolf howls resounded. It was exceptionally clear and horrifying in this dark rainy night.
When experts exchanged blows, the fish in the moat would be caught in the crossfire. Those low-leveled martial artists would either die or be injured. This was the difference between them.
“Borrowing strength to escape?
Xiao Chen, and that beast of yours, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, this City Lord will still tear you into pieces! ”
Sha Potian saw the escaping red light ball and didn’t continue to chase. Instead, he stopped abruptly and stared coldly at the red light ball. A moment later, a cold voice came out from his mouth.
Ji Chenggong led hundreds of Ji Clan’s experts and thousands of Sha Clan’s experts to the back of Sha Potian. Ji Chenggong looked at the light ball that had almost disappeared from afar. Then, he said to Sha Potian, who had a gloomy expression, in a flattering tone,
“City Lord, with the help of the Soul-chasing Fox to find Xiao Chen and your bravery, Xiao Chen won’t be able to escape. I saw them getting hit by City Lord’s palm just now. That beast must have suffered some injuries, so they won’t be able to escape quickly. Should we give chase now?”
“En, that beast is very powerful. It should be a Sixth Grade Dire Beast. No wonder that little bastard Xiao Chen is so unbridled. But so what if it’s a Sixth Grade Dire Beast?
This City Lord has killed at least eight, if not ten, so killing one more doesn’t matter! ”
Heaven Breaker Sha glanced at Ji Chenggong indifferently. Then, he looked around at the countless experts that were flying over and said indifferently.
“Father?
Ah!
My father is dead! ”
A man’s cry came from the front, and it was Situ Nan’s voice. Just now, Situ Bei and an elder of the Situ Clan had been killed by Xiao Chen and Big Huang almost at the same time. Now that Situ Nan had run over, he could only see two headless corpses. Naturally, he was crying like a ghost.
“Lord Patriarch!”
When the hundreds of Situ experts saw their Young Clan Leader crying for his parents while hugging a headless corpse, they also recognized that the headless corpse was their Clan Leader. Immediately, all of them knelt heavily on the muddy ground and cried out in pain. Their faces were filled with pain, but their eyes were filled with incomparable hatred. The target of their hatred was naturally Xiao Chen.
“City Lord!
City Lord!
Please help me kill that beast, Xiao Chen!
I want to tear Xiao Chen into pieces! I want to avenge my father! ”
Situ Nan cried for a while and suddenly put down his father’s headless corpse. He rushed in front of Heaven Breaker Sha like a madman and immediately prostrated himself on the ground, begging for mercy.
“Bang!”
Heaven Breaker Sha glanced at Situ Nan in disgust and didn’t say anything. He immediately lifted his leg and kicked Situ Nan, sending him flying. Then, he shouted to the thousands of martial artists gathered around him, “Clan Leader Ji, you are in charge of searching for Xiao Chen’s whereabouts. The rest of you will follow this City Lord to hunt down Xiao Chen and the Lion King!
Let’s go! ”
“Yes!
City Lord! ”
Ji Chenggong and the other six Patriarchs of the major clans, as well as countless Patriarchs of the minor clans, responded loudly. They led their troops and followed closely behind Heaven Breaker Sha with solemn expressions. The thousands of experts of the Sha Clan were also following closely under the leadership of four Purple Image Realm experts. Their murderous aura soared to the sky.
As for the Situ Clan that had lost their Patriarch and an Elder, they had lost their value and were ruthlessly abandoned by Heaven Breaker Sha and the others. Perhaps after the matter of Xiao Chen was over, the Situ Clan’s status as a major clan would no longer be guaranteed. It was very likely that they would be reduced to a second-rate clan.
Situ Nan was surrounded by a group of Situ experts, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The world was fickle and cold, and people were selfish. It was especially so between clans, where there was mutual deception and daggers hidden behind smiles.
The Situ Clan’s Patriarch was dead, but none of the Patriarchs of the other clans were concerned. Instead, they were secretly happy because they could obtain huge benefits from the down-and-out Situ Clan. The Situ Clan was just waiting to be slaughtered by everyone.
“Swish! Swish!”
Da Huang carried Xiao Chen and ran at full speed for ten miles before his footsteps slowed down a little. The road seemed to be a little bumpy, but it wasn’t obvious.
“Huff!”
When Da Huang forcefully resisted the Vajra Palm, Xiao Chen was protected by the purple light. Although he wasn’t injured, he was still in a daze. Xiao Chen only recovered at this time. He had already released the God’s Gift, and the berserk aura on his body had vanished. His blood-red eyes had also regained their clarity.
“We temporarily got rid of the pursuers, but the other party has the Soul-Chasing Fox. They will soon be able to track us. This is going to be troublesome.”
Xiao Chen looked back and didn’t see any pursuers. He didn’t sense any aura from the pursuers either. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he noticed that Da Huang’s running was a little strange. He subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at Da Huang’s hind leg. He discovered that Da Huang’s right leg was actually stained with blood. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Da Huang, what’s wrong with your leg?
Are you injured?
Quickly stop!
Let me help you take a look! ”
“Wu!”
The Lion King, Da Huang, used its nose to make a sound as a response to Xiao Chen’s concern. However, it didn’t stop. It continued running towards the south because it knew that there were still countless pursuers. If it stopped now, both of them would be finished.
“Thank you, Da Huang. I have implicated you.”
When Xiao Chen saw that the Lion King didn’t care about its own injuries and continued to flee with him, he was instantly touched. He used one hand to gently caress the Lion King’s slightly damp golden fur. A trace of gentleness appeared on his cold face as he couldn’t help but thank Da Huang.
Who said that desolate beasts were heartless?
As a high-grade desolate beast, Da Huang was extremely powerful and had a cold and arrogant personality. However, it had done its best to protect Xiao Chen. It had even risked its life to protect Xiao Chen. This was something that not many people could do. “Swish!
Swish! Swish! ”
This time, the Lion King didn’t make a sound as it continued running. Every leap it made covered a distance of tens of feet. It was a continuous leap. With such a huge body and a person on its back, its four limbs didn’t make any sound as it stepped on the ground. It was almost covered by the sound of the rain.
“Crackle!” A dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the distant sky.
“Da Huang, run towards the mountains and forests in the southeast. We need to use the desolate beast to stop the pursuers.” Xiao Chen used the light from the lightning to narrow his eyes and look into the distance as he reminded Da Huang.
Da Huang nodded like a human. It changed its direction slightly and ran towards the southeast. It opened up a huge circular passageway in the rain as all the raindrops bounced off.
Humans had emotions, and so did desolate beasts. Da Huang and Xiao Chen had experienced a life-and-death battle together. The distance between their souls had unknowingly shortened, and they were no longer cold. They began to have emotions. When their souls were together, they would become the best of brothers, brothers that they could entrust their lives to. And that day wasn’t too far away.
