Chapter 1669: A Battle Against a God
Shen Jian flew over from afar and said as he stared at Lu Fei’s corpse, “Experts really are as common as the clouds in the Saints’ World. Just this single person we came across accidentally was a late Deity. If he progressed a little more in his cultivation, he would have become a God. I need to find a safe place to break through as soon as possible.” Shen Jian became even more impatient to break through to Godhood after the battle with Lu Fei. However, there was nowhere to hide from sight on the barren plains, and they would encounter people from time to time. Clearly, this was not a good place to break through.
Jian Chen thought of the Anatta Tower. The Anatta Tower was damaged, but it was a good place to break through. However, Jian Chen did not dare to take it out after arriving in the Saints’ World as he feared that extremely powerful people would sense its presence.
“Let’s leave here quickly. This Lu Fei seemed to be fleeing for his life earlier. With his wounds, someone must have been chasing him. We can’t stay here for long,” Jian Chen said to Shen Jian. He played around with the Space Ring that he had taken from Lu Fei, before putting it away. Now was not the time to check through its contents.
However, just when Jian Chen said these words, an extremely powerful presence arrived from afar. It blanketed the surroundings and surged into the sky, kicking up gales and causing the clouds to churn. The presence contained both rage and icy-cold killing intent.
“Let’s go!”
The expressions of Jian Chen and Shen Jian changed. Without any hesitation, they immediately flew off into the distance as fast as possible. The owner of the presence pressured them several times more than Lu Fei. He was an extremely powerful expert, having surpassed Deity. Without a single thought, Jian Chen and Shen Jian were certain that he was the person pursuing Lu Fei.
Lu Fei was already dead, but just in case, the two of them still chose to leave the area.
A few seconds after Jian Chen and Shen Jian left the scene, a blurry, grey figure shot over from afar. He moved so quickly that he was several times faster than Lu Fei. He radiated with a powerful presence, so great that the ground beneath him sank. His icy, heavy killing intent reduced all the withered grass on the plains to dust.
Very soon, the grey figure arrived before Lu Fei’s corpse. Only then did his appearance become visible. He was an old man who seemed to be past his seventies. He wore grey robes, while his grey hair drifted in the wind behind. He was hawk-nosed, and his deep eyes were sharp. They shone brightly, while his face was terrifyingly sunken.
The old man stared at Lu Fei’s corpse for a while. When he discovered that Lu Fei’s Space Ring had actually vanished, his gaze immediately became extremely terrifying. His killing intent rose rapidly until it peaked.
“It’s impossible for you to steal the treasure of my Lu family,” the grey-robed old man’s face was extremely sunken as he spoke icily. He immediately expanded his soul and found the traces left behind by Jian Chen and Shen Jian when they fled a while ago. He immediately shot off in pursuit as a grey blur.
The laws were powerful, and the space was tough in the Saints’ World. Let alone Origin realm experts, even Godhood experts with extremely great mastery over the Laws of Space would not be able to create a Space Gate. As a result, the old man could only fly despite his strength.
