Chapter 1973: Hunted Down by the Empyrean Demon Cul (1/2)

t

Jian Chen coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood as he glanced at the three pursuing Godkings coldly. Then, he wrapped his left arm around Kai Ya’s waist and formed a seal with his right hand, using the Linear Lightning Release.

Kai Ya immediately shuddered when Jian Chen wrapped his hand around her. She looked at Jian Chen with mixed emotions. In her memory, there had yet to be a man who had held her like that aside from her father.

Moreover, she felt an intense repulsion towards a man touching her so closely like that.

The repulsion rose up, growing stronger and stronger as if a voice constantly reminded her to resist. It had almost shaken her will, which would lead to her directly resisting Jian Chen.

However, Kai Ya was in no position to think. She felt her body suddenly sink, and the surroundings turned into a blur instantly. The scenery around her shot past as blurry streaks of light.

Jian Chen had already used the Linear Lightning Release. He and Kai Ya were surrounded by light as they turned into a bolt of lightning and shot off into the distance with unbelievable speed.

They were so fast that they could not be described as covering a thousand kilometers in a split second. Instead, it was ten thousand kilometers or even several tens of thousand kilometers.

The eyes of the three pursuing Godkings of the Empyrean Demon Cult narrowed all of a sudden. Jian Chen and Kai Ya were so quick that it stunned them.

Their speed had basically surpassed the limits of what the naked eye could see. Their movement could only be caught with the senses of the soul.

“Chase them! We can’t let them escape!”

One of the Godkings bellowed out and immediately used a secret technique with the other two Godkings. Their speeds also skyrocketed all of a sudden, turning into three blurs as they chased.

Jian Chen’s Linear Lightning Release was very fast, but the amount of time he could maintain it was far too short. They were unable to evade the senses of a Godking’s soul in such a short amount of time.

As a result, even though Jian Chen and Kai Ya managed to flee to a point where the Godkings were no longer able to see them, they still remained in the area the Godkings’ senses of the soul covered.

Over a hundred thousand kilometers away, the light around Jian Chen and Kai Ya slowly faded, and their terrifying speed brought on by the Linear Lightning Release vanished. The three Godkings had vanished behind them.

However, they knew that they still had not shaken off the three Godkings. As a matter of fact, they could even sense three extremely powerful presences rush over in the distance. They would be able to catch up in under a minute.

“Jian Chen, what do we do now?” Kai Ya broke free from Jian Chen’s arm without showing any repulsion and said worriedly.

“Go-” Just when Jian Chen wanted to talk, he aggravated his wounds, so he experienced a violent fit of coughing. A few more mouthfuls of blood and organs spurted out from his mouth.

Even though he had only clashed once with the two Godkings, his opponents were late Godkings after all. Jian Chen suffered severe wounds from that. If it were not for his Chaotic Body, he would have collapsed long ago.

“Jian Chen, how are you? You better heal first. I’ll carry you,” Kai Ya said in concern.

Jian Chen shook his head. He silently circulated his Chaotic Force to heal as he wolfed down a handful of healing pills and several Soul Recovery Pills. Only then did he say with great difficultly and weakness, “You’re not as fast as them. Right now, the only way we can travel is for me to use my sword technique. Only then do we have a chance at escaping. As long as we make it to the Divine Kingdom of Qingyang, we can shake them off. Let’s go!” Jian Chen wrapped his left hand around Kai Ya once again while he formed a seal with his right hand, continuing to cast the Linear Lightning Release.

Faced with such desperate times, he could no longer care about the bodily contact between men and women. Escaping from the three Godkings was more important than anything.

Kai Ya’s feelings became extremely mixed. She would experience severe repulsion when Jian Chen touched her like that.

However, when she thought about the danger the two of them faced today, she could only suppress this repulsion helplessly.

Swish!

As Kai Ya experienced mixed feelings, she and Jian Chen became surrounded with light once again. They shot off into the distance with lightning speed, covering several tens of thousand kilometers in a split second. They truly moved extremely quickly.

With their speed, even late Godkings would struggle to catch up. Even though the three Godkings had already used secret techniques, they were still unable to traverse several tens of thousand kilometers in a split second.

However, Jian Chen’s Linear Lightning Release was not perfect either. He was unable to maintain it for long, unlike the three Godkings behind them who could maintain their greatest speed over prolonged periods.

As a result, every time Jian Chen stopped after using the Linear Lightning Release, the distance he had created from the Godkings would be covered once again.

This forced Jian Chen to use the Linear Lightning Release constantly.

Fortunately, his Chaotic Force was consumed extremely slowly. Moreover, he had never run out of energy during a battle due to it being overly drawn out after he began cultivating the Chaotic Body. Otherwise, he would probably run out of energy from just using the Linear Lightning Release repeatedly as a late Overgod.

The earth stretched into the distance, and the rivers and mountains rapidly receded. As the two parties fled and pursued, they left the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian very soon, entering the boundary of the Divine Kingdom of Qingyang.
