Chapter 365: Inescapable Net Three (2/2)

Two hours quickly went by, making it almost four in the morning. By this time, the tiger cub had already woken up and was crawling around the dark cave while mewling with a joyful expression.

Slowly opening his eyes, Jian Chen stood up and listened for movements around the cave. Then, returning the night pearl, he scooped up the playful tiger and headed out of the cave.

Walking to the cave, Jian Chen slowly moved away the stone covering the cave, afraid that he would make a loud sound and alert any of the hidden Heaven Saint Masters.

It seemed as if even the white tiger had sensed that there were dangers hidden in the night and remained quiet. Poking its head out of Jian Chen’s clothes, the tiger cub stared all around the area with its bright and curious eyes.

Stealthily walking away from the cave without a sound, Jian Chen began to travel as if he was a spectre in the night. With his presence concealed as he crossed the mountain range, not a single sound could be heard.

At the same time ten kilometers away from Jian Chen, an elderly man was sitting on top of a mountain peak as if harmonizing with the world itself. After cultivating so hard and becoming a Heaven Saint Master, not only was he able to control the world energy to fly, he could also detect any changes that happened within it.

At this moment, the sitting elder immediately opened his eyes as two mysterious glows began to shine within them.

“There’s a disturbance in the energy, something’s making a move.” The elder’s eyes grew fierce as he instantly flew into the sky like a spectre in the night.

Within a few breaths, the elder had landed upon another mountain range where the night had completely overtaken it. Even without much visibility, the elder’s eyes could still stare down and see something of interest to him.

“I’ve finally found you.” The elder let out a smile in surprise. Then, without hesitation, he flew toward the dark figure.

At the same time, the dark figure that the elder saw, seemed to have spotted the elder and immediately sped up in speed.

“Jian Chen, where do you think you’re going?!” The flying elder roared before increasing his own speed to try and overtake the escaping figure.

Within the peaceful night, the elder’s explosive words had rang throughout the area so that the other seven Heaven Saint Masters would be able to hear him loud and clear. Immediately, several sharp sounds could be heard as the other seven Heaven Saint Masters came flying into the area.

Like a pigeon startled by the twang of a bow, Jian Chen immediately gave up all pretense of stealth and flew faster toward the mountain exit.

The darkness of the night was nothing too major for any of the Heaven Saint Masters to be affected by so all of the elders increased their speeds once more.

In this chase, Jian Chen was able to escape the area quickly. With the usage of the Illusionary Flash and the Heaven’s Stolen Fortune to increase his speed, he was like an arrow in the night. In an instant, he had been able to transverse a long area of ground with a large dust cloud trailing behind.

With the combined usage of both the Illusionary Flash and the Heaven’s Stolen Fortune, the flying Heaven Saint Master that were chasing after him quickly disappeared in his wake. Afterward, Jian Chen began to slow down a bit and stopped the Heaven’s Stolen Fortune. He knew that if he were to go too quickly, then the dust trail would give his position away and allow for the group of Heaven Saint Masters to quickly discover where he was.

But not too long after Jian Chen had let up his speed, a dazzling cyan light could be seen flying through the dark night with a terrifying amount of speed.

“Blast it all, it’s a wind attributed Heaven Saint Master.” Jian Chen cursed before reactivating the Heaven’s Stolen Fortune. His speed instantly skyrocketed so as to escape the Heaven Saint Master behind him.

The wind attributed Heaven Saint Master chasing behind him was the third elder of the Shi family and was also the very same person who had initially used the poison to threaten Jian Chen.

Seeing Jian Chen’s figure grow farther and farther away, the third elder gasped in shock, “It seems the third brother’s words were not false. This Jian Chen’s speed exceeds the realm of possibility if it is able to beat mine. This is truly hard to believe that an Earth Saint Master could achieve such a speed.”

Jian Chen’s new speed would only be enough for him to travel for two hours. After those two hours, he would be utterly exhausted. He wouldn’t even have enough strength to fight, let alone escape.
