Chapter 92: Ye Fan’s Desperate Escape
Boom! Boom!
The deep rumbling of thunder echoed non-stop.
Crack! Thud!
Moreover, the noise of countless trees breaking and crashing down filled the air.
"Hurry up! Give it everything you’ve got! We’re close to the end; if we just keep pushing a little longer, victory will be ours!" The urgency and intensity in Xie Lianchu’s voice, the chief disciple of the Heavenly Blade School, was clear. Around him, disciples spread out, attacking with renewed energy.
Many fighters, seeing the fused monster’s power weaken, quickly slowed down and started to surround the creature!@@@@
As expected, soon after, with a pained "Roar~," the fused monster rapidly fell apart, turning back into the original eight monsters.
At this moment, all eight monsters were significantly weakened. Likely because they had given their qi and blood energy to the giant egg, they seemed even more drained after splitting up than the monsters usually found in the secret realm.
"Hahaha!" Xie Lianchu burst into triumphant laughter. "The monster has finally split apart! Quickly, let’s all come together and defeat them!"
"Whoever takes down a monster gets to keep the loot!" With these words motivating the nearby cultivators, he, wielding a long saber, led the charge.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In just a moment, Xie Lianchu delivered three rapid strikes, slicing a monster, now weakened to the Early-stage Mysterious Platform realm, into three parts!
But he didn’t stop there. He kept up his swift movements, heading towards the previously damaged mountain!
Clearly, what Xie Lianchu valued most was the giant egg. Compared to it, the worth of these weakened humanoid monsters was negligible.
"Damn it! Xie Lianchu is making a break for it!" someone shouted, their voice filled with disbelief and anger.
"No, he’s heading for the underground chamber in the cave mansion; he’s after the mysterious giant egg!" another realized, shock evident in their tone.
"Stop right there, you jerk!"
"..."
The faces of the cultivators changed dramatically, their voices booming with unrestrained anger. However, the stronger ones were caught up in intense fights with the monsters and couldn’t break away quickly, while the weaker cultivators didn’t have the guts to follow.
...
"Quick, quick, quick! I need to get that giant egg!" Xie Lianchu urged himself, the once joyful smile on his face now gone.
What did this mean? It meant that Jiang Chen had a way to track him and that his speed was exceptionally fast!
Initially, when Jiang Chen appeared in the underground area, Ye Fan wondered if Jiang Chen had a way to follow him. However, because the collapse of the mountain peak was loud enough to be heard from far away, he had brushed off the idea.
Surprisingly, his gut feeling was correct—Jiang Chen indeed had a method to track him!
"Hehe," Jiang Chen laughed, his voice full of condescension. "What’s wrong, Ye Fan? Surprised at how quickly I caught up?"
"Open your eyes and look closely, what do you see here?" he taunted, then showed off a Spiritual Awakening-level flying artifact. This was the same one he had found on a deceased cultivator.
Of course, his showing off the flying artifact was a strategy to hide the existence of the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle. Jiang Chen was keeping his real advantages to himself.
Seeing the flying artifact in Jiang Chen’s hand, Ye Fan’s eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself, "A flying artifact! So that’s how..."
"Hmph! Ye Fan, you pathetic fool!" Jiang Chen sneered with disdain. "Did you actually think you could escape from me?" His stare intensified towards Ye Fan, his eyes starting to show bloodshot veins, making his expression increasingly threatening.
"If you surrender now, I’ll ensure a quick end for you and keep your body unharmed. But if you resist, I’ll capture you alive and make you suffer bit by bit until death takes you. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the agony lasts a long time, potentially for the rest of your natural life," he declared, his deep animosity unmistakable.
Right after, he drew the Shadowblade Sword, looking ready to strike Ye Fan.
"You’re not in a position to kill me!" Ye Fan shot back, his face setting in determination. He quickly backed away by several tens of meters, dashing towards the open space beyond.
"Yes, go ahead, run, run like the coward you are! Hehe, I want you to feel the growing despair!" Jiang Chen taunted, keeping up his act and flashing a wicked smile. He casually picked up Xie Lianchu’s storage artifact and then incinerated his remains to ashes.
As soon as he completed his actions, new system notifications resonated in his mind.
[Ding! You have successfully stolen a portion of protagonist Ye Fan’s opportunities. Ye Fan’s Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 100 points!]
[Ding! You have gained 200 points of Villain Value!]
Jiang Chen, hearing the system notifications, nodded in satisfaction and quickly got on the Spiritual Awakening-level flying artifact to resume his chase.
...
Meanwhile, Ye Fan, in his desperate attempt to flee, quickly pulled out an item from his storage artifact. On closer inspection, it was a small bottle holding an ink-black pill about the size of a quail egg.
Holding the pill, Ye Fan muttered to himself in desperation, "Damn! I’ve got no other choice but to use this!" Immediately after blocking his sense of smell and taste, he opened the bottle, took out the pill, and swallowed it without any hesitation.
Boom!
A massive surge of energy erupted from his body. Instantly, Ye Fan’s speed increased dramatically, his figure blurring into an afterimage as he disappeared into the dark depths of the forest!
