People often had an inherent impression of things. When it came to young people, they were always associated with recklessness and disregard for consequences. But Chen Chao was clearly not a typical teenager. He was calm and decisive, and most importantly, he found it difficult to be consumed by hot-blooded passion.

So when he saw that skinny middle-aged man, the first thing he thought of was not how to kill him, because no matter how simple killing him was, it would definitely waste time. At that time, when many more people were drawn over here, that would be a huge problem. Therefore, the first thing he thought of was to run.

If he could run, then he should run as fast as possible.

Whatever youthful hot-bloodedness, or youthful recklessness, or youthful pride, that all had nothing to do with him.

Years of life experience have taught him that staying alive was more important than anything else.

He ran through several courtyards in a row and even jumped over several alleys in one go. Within 15 minutes, he had already run far away from that alley.

The girl on his back felt a little stuffy and remembered what Chen Chao had said earlier about not taking down the cloth curtain. So she thought for a moment and reached out to poke three holes, revealing a pair of eyes and a nose.

Taking a deep breath, the girl felt somewhat satisfied and turned her head to look back. She discovered that the young man piggybacking her was really like a fierce beast in the forest; with extremely destructive power.

She really wanted to say a few emotional words, but thinking that it was not the appropriate time to speak, she held back.

But soon, she heard the young man under her talking, "Hey, whatever Saintess, besides the unfortunate carriage driver, didn't anyone escort you to the capital? Why hasn't anyone appeared yet? Well, even if they don't appear, don't you have any means to contact them?"

The young girl frowned slightly. She was fine before this matter was brought up, but now that he mentioned it, she felt a little annoyed. That master she got for free was originally supposed to enter the city with her. But who would have thought that just as they were about to enter the city, he insisted on finding some old friend and left her behind.

If her master had been with her, she would not have fallen into this predicament.

"I don't have any!" she said in anger.

Chen Chao did not know where her anger came from, but it was hard for him to think too much. Just as he bashed his way out of a small courtyard and entered a small alley, two assassins appeared and blocked his path.

"Hold on tight!"

He spoke in a low voice. At the same time, he gripped the handle of his saber tightly. This time, he did not avoid but charged straight towards the two attackers.

And the two attackers did not avoid either. They joined forces and attacked Chen Chao together.

The sharp qi burst forth in the narrow alley, but it was unclear whether it was daoist or some other type of qi.

Chen Chao was indifferent as he faced them. As he approached the two assassins, that hand holding the saber did not thrust out. Instead, he threw a punch at the assassin on the left with his other hand. A surging qi erupted from his fist, forcing the assassin to fall to one side. At this moment, the other assassin took the opportunity to strike. Except, he did not expect that Chen Chao's true target was him from the beginning. That hand holding the saber moved slightly and his broken saber instantly slashed towards that assassin's neck. When he dodged, it turned downwards very bizarrely and stabbed him in the heart in one move!

Then, without hesitation, Chen Chao pulled out his saber and hacked at the remaining assassin while dealing a side-kick at the same time.

It seemed that even with a girl on his back, he was not affected in the slightest.

A moment later, Chen Chao kicked the assassin away and jumped lightly, already landing on a low wall.

During the imperial banquet, Chen Chao had already mentioned that he was not particularly good at sparring because he had killed too many demons. He was actually more suited for life-and-death fights, rather than the kind of sparring that stops when someone taps out.

Now that he suddenly suffered an assassination, he no longer had any reservations about fighting, so he naturally appeared different from before.

The girl on his back watched as Chen Chao killed the two assassins in a very short time. She could not help but exclaim, "You're so fast!"

Chen Chao frowned, feeling that her words were not quite right.

However, this time, he did not rush to speak or leave, but looked ahead.

The lean middle-aged man had reappeared.

He was wearing a blue shirt and standing with his hands behind his back, looking quite dignified.

Chen Chao said softly, "It seems like we can't escape."

During this time, qi circulated, and the middle-aged man had already used a secret technique to seal off the world. The battlefield was in the small alley ahead. Other than killing him, there was no way to leave.

The girl sighed, "Am I going to die here?"

Though she said that, in reality, she was not too worried. It was very unlikely to die in the Divine Capital. Moreover, there was also a young man in front of her.

Chen Chao shook his head and said, "You probably won't."

The premise of killing the girl was to kill him and he was certainly not willing to die.

The girl nodded and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Chen Chao did not respond. Since the girl behind him was the Saintess, she naturally could not be regarded with common sense. It was within reason for her to be so calm now and there was nothing to say.

"If you have any life-saving tricks, you'd better take them out now. You have to know, no matter how valuable something is, it's ultimately not as valuable as your life."

Since the girl behind him was the Saintess, how could she not have any life-saving means? Chen Chao spoke very sincerely. This time, he really meant it. The middle-aged man in front of him might not be considered too scary yet, but who knew what kind of characters would appear later?

The girl also said seriously, "I really don't have any."

Listening to this, Chen Chao sighed softly after a moment of silence.

Right at this moment, that thin middle-aged man standing in the alley looked at Chen Chao and said, "You're really the most different youth I've ever seen in my life. I have walked through many..."

The same story happened here and the same words were spoken here.

The young man was still the same young man.

Since Chen Chao knew he could not escape, he did not bother to waste his breath with the guy in front of him. He jumped down from the low wall and a black saber light suddenly appeared in the alley!

The broken saber quickly cleaved apart a wave of qi that should be hacked apart and he headed in front. In an extremely short time, he got close to the thin middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man only just returned to his senses at this moment.

How could he have imagined that the youth in front of him would actually be so quick to use violence.

No... the other party did not even say a word.

This situation surprised him and left him somewhat at a loss.

He had cultivated for many years, but had never experienced a fight before. Cultivation was something that, as long as one had enough talent and comprehension ability, one would naturally be able to keep moving forward.

He was such a person. In the past, he had always been cultivating bitterly.

Then, someone asked him to come and kill the Saintess. Considering the person's unforgettable favor to him, he came.

But he really did not have any combat experience.

None at all.
