Chapter 83: Scared Off

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei exerted all his might in using the Soul Chasing Step, with the trees on both sides flas.h.i.+ng past him. However, despite his efforts, s.h.i.+ Xueqin continued to follow closely behind.

Frowning slightly, Chen Fei realized that this was the first time he had fought against a Visceral Tempering stage expert, and it had truly expanded his horizons. Even with her injuries, s.h.i.+ Xueqins speed and agility remained remarkable.

In other words, if Chen Fei hadnt injured s.h.i.+ Xueqin earlier, he wouldnt have been able to escape even if he wanted to.

It wasnt just her movement technique that impressed him. If it werent for the fact that his Starry Night Sword had reached Great Completion, Chen Fei would have been injured. The longsword he had used for a long time was damaged as a result.

Chen Fei might still be able to endure a few more attacks, but his longsword would likely be destroyed.

Without a weapon, Chen Fcis bare hands wouldnt be enough to block s.h.i.+ Xueqins attacks. It would probably only take a few moves to bring him down.

From this, it was evident that there was a significant gap between the two, specifically between the Bone Tempering realm and the Visceral Tempering realm. The progression in martial arts couldnt be underestimated.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Hidden weapons flew in from behind. Chen Fei wielded the longsword in his hand like countless s.h.i.+elds, providing him with protection against the incoming projectiles. When the hidden weapons struck him, Chen Fei used the momentum to run even faster, unaffected by the attacks.

This was the synergy between the perfected Starry Night Sword and the perfected Soul Chasing Step. Every force that circulated was like a finger guiding Chen Fei.

Gritting her teeth, s.h.i.+ Xueqin marveled at Chen Fei, a mere Bone Tempering martial artist who had surprised her numerous times. First, he resisted her charm, then he suddenly produced a sword, rendering her chase futile. Now, his movement technique was so exceptional that it rivaled that of an average Visceral Tempering realm cultivator.

In fact, in a certain aspect, he surpa.s.sed an ordinary Visceral Tempering realm cultivator.

s.h.i.+ Xueqin was highly skilled in movement techniques. Despite her injuries, she was confident in being faster than martial artists of the same rank. However, she couldnt catch up to Chen Fei. It was simply unbelievable.

Do you think you can escape? s.h.i.+ Xueqin asked, taking deep breaths before spitting out a mouthful of blood. As the blood mist dispersed, her speed suddenly increased. The distance between her and Chen Fei was cut in half as if she would catch him in the next moment.

Fleetfoot!

Feeling the overwhelming aura behind him, Chen Fei was startled. The force within him circulated, making his body light and agile. In the next instant, he had already rushed further away.

Tsk!

Sharp claw marks appeared where Chen Fei had been standing. s.h.i.+ Xueqin observed Chen Fcis sudden increase in speed and tightened her grip. This kid had a secret technique!

How had he cultivated it? His cultivation level wasnt high, yet he possessed numerous cultivation techniques. With such potential, he could greatly improve his cultivation realm!

If Chen Fei had reached the Marrow Tempering realm, s.h.i.+ Xueqin wouldnt have been so careless in dealing with him.

Because of Chen Feis lower realm, s.h.i.+ Xueqin couldnt help but let her guard down, resulting in her current situation.

You

s.h.i.+ Xueqin watched as Chen Feis figure ran farther and farther away. Anger and anxiety surged within her, causing her to spit out another mouthful of blood. Her face turned pale. Already heavily injured, her condition worsened due to the use of a secret technique.

Martial Uncle Qian, help! A demoness is trying to kill me! Chen Feis voice echoed from a distance, extinguis.h.i.+ng s.h.i.+ Xueqins desire to pursue. With her severe injuries, encountering a martial artist of the same rank would mean certain death.

Fiercely glaring at Chen Fei, s.h.i.+ Xueqin memorized his appearance, vowing not to let this matter go easily. She would undoubtedly repay him doubly for todays revenge.

In an instant, s.h.i.+ Xueqin vanished from her spot.

Chen Fei shouted several times, realizing that the aura behind him had disappeared. He let out a sigh of relief.

Being pursued by someone at the Visceral Tempering Realm was a terrifying experience. Despite pre-planned traps and inflicting severe injuries on each other, Chen Fei couldnt prevail. It left him feeling helpless.

Furthermore, Chen Fei was unaware of the secret techniques used in the Visceral Tempering realm. He feared that s.h.i.+ Xueqin would recklessly chase after him, intending to eliminate him entirely. In such a scenario, Chen Fei might not be able to escape.

Therefore, Chen Fei resorted to shouting from afar, scaring away potential threats.

After running another mile, Chen Fei noticed Qian Lindu, who had rushed towards them even before they reached the encampment. Apparently, he had indeed heard Chen Feis cry for help.

Visceral Tempering realm martial artists were at the peak of their stage. Their facial senses were remarkably acute.

Did you call for me just now? Qian Lindu asked, frowning, as he approached Chen Fei.

Its me, Martial Uncle Qian, Chen Fei replied, taking a moment to catch his breath. Senior Brother Guo and 1 felt something was amiss earlier, so we went to investigate. We discovered a group of people camped ten miles away, and we suspect they are from the Divine Flame Sect.

Divine Flame Sect? Qian Lindus eyes widened.

Chen Fei proceeded to describe the location and terrain, explaining that it was an unfamiliar area where they hadnt collected medicinal herbs. Hence, they suspected it was the Divine Flame Sect. Senior Brother Guo remained behind to gather more information and instructed Chen Fei to inform Qian Lindu upon his return.

Where is he now? Never mind, Ill take you there. You can guide the way, Qian Lindu said after a moment of contemplation. He returned to the encampment briefly to inform the other disciples before grabbing Chen Fei and rus.h.i.+ng ahead, leaving unique marks along the way for the others to follow.

Martial Uncle Qian, I encountered a demoness earlier. She possesses a captivating charm, so her cultivation level should be at the Visceral Tempering realm, Chen Fei informed as they hurried along.

A demoness? Qian Lindu mulled over Chen Feis earlier cry for help, which mentioned a demoness. This was why Qian Lindu had ventured out alone to provide a.s.sistance.

She appeared to be injured, and fortunately, I managed to escape, Chen Fei added, refraining from mentioning that he had severely wounded s.h.i.+ Xueqin. It would be difficult for others to believe, considering the two-level difference between the Bone Tempering realm and the Visceral Tempering realm. Chen Fei leaping realms to fight would sound like a baseless claim. Thus, he chose not to disclose it and instead emphasized the injuries inflicted on the opponent.

Qian Lindu nodded. If it truly was the Divine Flame Sects encampment, encountering formidable experts was to be expected. Qian Lindu hoped that Guo Linshan hadnt acted impulsively, as it could potentially place him in grave danger.

Ten miles wasnt a great distance, and Qian Lindu covered it swiftly.

However, Guo Linshan was nowhere to be found. Instead, chaos reigned over the campsite in the distance. The sounds of battle filled the air, creating a cacophony.

You stay here and await the others, Qian Lindu instructed, setting Chen Fei down before rus.h.i.+ng toward the commotion. In Qian Lindus estimation, Chen Feis Bone Tempering realm cultivation was too low to be of much a.s.sistance. In fact, he might end up being a liability if he got involved..
