Chapter 824: Martial Sage Deathsworn Warriors; Surrounded

Suddenly, Ying Qiong remembered Xiao Chen. She looked to where he was but saw no one there. Before the old woman came in, Xiao Chen already left silently.

Seeing this scene, Ying Qiong could not help but curse in her heart. To think this lady still thought about him! This fellow bolted even faster than a rabbit.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

Ying Qiong jumped out of the window. This place happened to be behind the Heavenly Water Inn, a desolate place where few people pa.s.sed.

The moment Ying Qiong landed, she saw Xiao Chen standing in front, frowning. She quickly took a few steps forward and mercilessly started hitting Xiao Chen.

After venting some of her frustration, she asked in a huff, “Aren’t you able to run very fast? Why are you not running anymore?!”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and did not reply. He only looked around. Ying Qiong followed suit and saw that all the nearby roofs had a masked man standing on them.

These masked men were dressed entirely in black with a purple venomous scorpion embroidered on the chest of their clothes, and only their eyes were exposed. They all held weapons, and their gazes were cold like they were dead.

Ying Qiong sucked in a deep breath of cold air as she stared fixedly at the purple venomous scorpion. She muttered, “These are the Martial Sage deathsworn warriors of my Ying Clan. Ying Fan, you are good. You really dared to take action.”

Xiao Chen’s expression was extremely unsightly as well. He quickly tried to think of countermeasures. There were a total of five of such people with cultivations of varying standards within Medial Grade Martial Sage.

If there was only one, Xiao Chen would have no problem fleeing on his own. If he worked with Ying Qiong, they might even be able to defeat him.

However, there were five Medial Grade Martial Sages. Furthermore, they were deathsworn warriors that the Ying Clan had invested a lot of wealth to raise. There was no need to think about this; there was no way he could go against them. If all of them landed one killing move on him each, no matter how strong his physical body was, it would turn into a meat paste.

However, Xiao Chen did not have much fear in his heart. He had the will clone of the Supreme Sky Emperor. In times of danger, it would come out automatically. It would be able to kill the five before him easily.

However, Xiao Chen could use the will clone only once. The Supreme Sky Emperor spent a lot of effort and energy to condense this will clone. He would not be able to condense a second one for him.

It would be Xiao Chen’s final trump card. Unless he had no other choice, he absolutely would not use it.

Xiao Chen’s lips curled up in a gentle smile. “Miss Ying, this time, you really dragged me into trouble. How about we split up here? I will not hold you accountable for this inconvenience.”

Clearly, this group of people was here to kill Ying Qiong. This attack was due to an internal conflict of the Ying Clan. Such matters were not rare. For the sake of competing to be the heir of the clan, it was inevitable that large factions would sometimes go to extremes.

A Sovereign n.o.ble Clan that had survived for a long time would have even more benefits. Hence, such matters would be even rifer.

If the two split up, the pressure each would face would be significantly less. Their chances of escaping would improve considerably.

After Xiao Chen said this, an electric light flashed under his feet. Then he leaped into the air. However, a certain fragrance came from behind him. Before he could dodge, a weight landed on his back.

A pair of arms clung around Xiao Chen’s neck; it was Ying Qiong hanging on to him from behind.

Before anyone could say anything, Xiao Chen used the explosive speed of Thunder Dragon Steps and broke through the Martial Sages’ encirclement. Five strong attacks surged towards him along with a strong berserk wind.

Each of these attacks was significant. If any of them landed, Xiao Chen would not find it easy to bear. He maintained an absolute calm as he executed Thunder Dragon Steps at full power. As electric light flashed, he traveled three kilometers with one step.

The five black-clad men gave chase unhurriedly, moving up and down as they sent out various attacks in combination, launching them continuously at Xiao Chen.

Even though Xiao Chen tried to flee at full speed, he had to keep changing directions to dodge the attacks coming from behind. Furthermore, he still had to carry a girl on his back. Hence, his speed dropped by one kilometer a step.

Now, he could only move two kilometers per step. The five people behind them maintained a tight chase, attacking him with powerful Martial Techniques.

The five black-clad men shot all sorts of resplendent multicolored lights into the air, causing s.p.a.ce to fluctuate and form ripples spreading out.

The shock waves pulverized the buildings in the city.

Clearly, the mastermind of this ambush had planned this out long ago. Along the way, Xiao Chen did not see a single person at all. Most likely, this entire area of the city was sealed off.

For the mastermind to have managed this, it definitely had to be someone in the upper echelons of the Ying Clan. That person had steeled his heart and gone all in to kill Ying Qiong.

The five men behind closed in on them. Now, Xiao Chen could no longer dodge as easily. Some of the attacks even brushed by his shoulders.

“Miss Ying, how long are you going to hold on to me? If you still do not come down, I will have to fling you off.” Xiao Chen felt helpless about this beauty on his back. He had never seen such a carefree girl before.

Ying Qiong’s hot figure pressed tightly against Xiao Chen. Any man would react to this, so Xiao Chen ended up enduring bitterly.

When Ying Qiong heard his complaint, she could not help but cling to Xiao Chen even tighter. She said anxiously, “If not for trying to help you keep your cover, this lady would not have brought only two guards with me in the first place. Whatever you say, you have to take responsibility for this.”

Naturally, Xiao Chen did not believe Ying Qiong. After narrowly dodging an attack, he said with a cold expression, “Come down. If not, I will really get rough.”

Ying Qiong smiled faintly and squirmed gently behind Xiao Chen. Her action instantly caused a big problem. He could distinctly feel two full, well-developed lumps rubbing against him.
