Chapter 143
“Swish! Swish!
Swish! “In less than half an incense stick of time after Xiao Chen and his group left, more than 20 martial artists with powerful auras shot over from afar. The one leading them was the gloomy Sha Potholder.
“Chase!”
Sha Potholder’s tiger eyes swept across the dozens of mutilated corpses on the ground. His expression didn’t change at all. He retracted his gaze and looked into the distance. With a wave of his hand and a deep shout, his figure burst out and flashed rapidly towards the direction where Xiao Chen and his group escaped.
“Yes, Clan Head!”
The four experts of the Sha Clan responded respectfully. They quickly followed Sha Potholder’s footsteps and flew into the distance.
“Various Clan Heads and Elders, let’s give chase. We must kill Xiao Chen and that Desolate Beast. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future!
Let’s go! ”
Ji Chenggong glanced at the dozen Purple Image Realm experts beside him and said solemnly. However, there was a sneer in the depths of his eyes. No one knew what he was sneering about.
“Clan Leader Ji is right. We’ve offended Xiao Chen this time. If we don’t kill him now, we’ll be the ones to die if he decides to take revenge on us when he grows up. This time, we have to work together with the City Lord to eliminate Xiao Chen!
This kid must not be left alive! “Li Clan Head echoed. Looking at his solemn expression, it was obvious that he valued Xiao Chen a lot.
These dozen Purple Image Realm experts were experts from Sha Thearch City. Besides the Situ Clan, whose Clan Head and Elders were dead, and the Liu Clan, who ran off to some unknown place to pursue Xiao Chen, the other six major clans’ Clan Heads and an Elder were among these twenty experts. The remaining Purple Image Realm experts were experts from medium-sized clans in Sha Thearch City.
Clan Head Zhuge and Clan Head Xu were naturally here. However, they seemed to intentionally or unintentionally not make a move against Xiao Chen. They were only pretending to give chase.
Because their sons Zhuge Ming and Xuda were on good terms with Xiao Chen, they naturally wouldn’t really make a move against Xiao Chen. Moreover, they all felt that Xiao Chen’s background was definitely not simple, so they didn’t dare to gamble.
The other Patriarchs weren’t fools, they could naturally see that Xiao Chen wasn’t simple, but because of Heaven Breaker Sha’s prestige and strength, they had no choice but to chase after Xiao Chen. However, they certainly wouldn’t go all-out to deal with Xiao Chen. Leaving Xiao Chen a way out was also leaving a way out for their own Patriarchs.
Other than the Ji Clan, the Situ Clan, and the Sha Clan’s lackey, the Li Clan, who hated Xiao Chen to the core, the other clans of the Sha Clan, who wanted to kill Xiao Chen at all cost, the rest of the clans were probably watching from the sidelines. They didn’t dare to act ruthlessly against Xiao Chen and were just putting on an act.
Swish swish swish!
Ji Chenggong and the Li Clan’s Patriarch were the first to chase after Heaven Breaker Sha. The other Patriarchs and Elders looked at each other before following.
Heaven Breaker Sha was determined to kill Xiao Chen. He ordered all the Purple Image Realm experts to chase after Xiao Chen and the Lion King with him. The weaker army followed behind at full speed. This was because the Lion King’s speed was too terrifying. If one wasn’t a Purple Image Realm expert, they would soon be left far behind by the Lion King. Even a Purple Image Realm expert wouldn’t be able to catch up to the Lion King.
However, they realized that the Lion King’s speed had slowed down quite a bit. They suspected that the Lion King was injured. If not, with their speed, they wouldn’t be able to keep up with the Lion King at all.
I’ll take your life while you’re down!
Heaven Breaker Sha also noticed this. He was very confident in the power of his Vajra Palm. The Vajra Palm was a seventh-grade desolate skill. It could shatter mountains and it was extremely powerful. Even a sixth-grade desolate beast that had activated its defenses would not feel good if it were to be hit head-on.
Hence, he ordered all the Purple Image Realm experts to chase after Xiao Chen and the Lion King. Once they gave the Lion King and Xiao Chen a chance to recuperate, it would be difficult to chase after Xiao Chen and the Lion King again.
…
Escape!
Escape!
Escape!
The Lion King carried Xiao Chen as they escaped day and night. They had to concentrate on avoiding ambushes and killing the enemy. Furthermore, one of the Lion King’s hind legs was injured, so it couldn’t run very smoothly. If it wasn’t for its strong strength and robust body, it definitely wouldn’t be able to last long. However, no matter how strong it was, it couldn’t last long after running for nearly five thousand kilometers with injuries. Its speed was getting slower and slower.
“Da Huang, stop and take a break. Don’t tire yourself out.”
Xiao Chen leaned tightly on the Lion King’s body. As he listened to the howling wind in his ears, he squinted his eyes at the Lion King Da Huang beneath him. His cold face revealed deep heartache and worry as he could not help but speak.
“Whew!”
Da Huang shook his head like a human. He did not stop and with a leap, he shot into the forest in front of him. Then, he shuttled nimbly between the trees. As the king of the forest, he felt like a fish in water when he entered the forest.
“Da Huang, be careful. I feel that there’s something wrong with this forest.”
Seeing that Da Huang did not stop, Xiao Chen had no choice but to let it do as it pleased. Suddenly, he felt a sense of urgency as his expression tightened. He immediately whispered to the Lion King beneath him. At the same time, he circulated the Power of Desolates in his body. His right hand gripped the wooden sword’s hilt tightly, ready to strike.
The Lion King Da Huang did not make a sound, but he slowed down. His footsteps became lighter, as though he was a cheetah hunting its prey.
“Shoo! Shoo!
Shoo! “Indeed, as Xiao Chen had expected, there were many warriors lying in ambush in the forest. It was unknown if they were assassins or experts from the nearby cities, or both. Xiao Chen and company had only ventured a few kilometers into the forest when countless crossbow bolts shot out from the dark forest from all directions. They shot towards Xiao Chen and the Lion King like lightning.
“Kill!
Anyone who kills Xiao Chen will be rewarded with a million taels! ”
At the instant the arrows were shot, there was a deafening shout of excitement from within the forest. It was as though a group of desolate beasts in heat were roaring, breaking the silence of the forest. “Shoo!
Shoo! Shoo! ”
After the shout, countless warriors flew out from all directions. They flashed through the trees, leaped from tree trunks, and traversed through the bushes. They brandished the weapons in their hands and fearlessly charged at the man and beast.
“A million taels of purple gold?
Who would have thought that my, Xiao Chen’s, head is worth so much?
I just don’t know if you have the ability to take my head. Hehe … “When Xiao Chen heard the enemy’s words, he was slightly surprised that his head was worth so much. He immediately sneered.
“Swish!”
Xiao Chen leaped from the back of the Lion King and jumped onto a huge tree at the side. His body flashed and brandished his wooden sword violently, blocking all the crossbow bolts that were soaked in poison. He looked at the countless figures in all directions indifferently and lowered his head to speak indifferently to the Lion King, “Da Huang, let’s have a competition to see who can kill first, shall we?”
“Roar!”
The Lion King, Da Huang, roared out as a reply. Immediately after, he turned into a golden shadow and rushed towards the enemies in front of him. He began a frenzied and merciless massacre.
“Berserk Transformation!”
Xiao Chen looked at Da Huang who had started the massacre and smiled. When he looked at the enemies, his expression instantly turned indifferent. Immediately after, two words that made all the martial artists in the Asura Tribe fearful flowed out from the depths of Xiao Chen’s throat.
In the face of so many enemies, Xiao Chen didn’t dare to be careless. Furthermore, he was still injured and had to go all out. Otherwise, he might have to stay in this forest forever. Therefore, he immediately released the Berserk Divine Bestowal.
A moment later, he temporarily became a first stage Purple Image Realm expert. His entire body was radiating with black light while a berserk aura presence poured out uncontrollably and rushed in all directions. The nearby enemies that were rushing over were so intimidated that they paused for a moment and almost fell to the ground.
“Kill!”
Xiao Chen glared with a pair of blood-red emotionless eyes and glanced at the nearby enemies that were starting to feel fear. He yelled out coldly and burst out. His feet tapped on the tree trunk continuously and nimbly shuttled through the dense forest like a vigorous ape. The heavy wooden sword was swallowing and spitting out desolate radiance which was mixed with a dense aura of death as it smashed towards the enemies with lightning speed.
