Chapter 77 Pursuit Deep in the Forest

Ying Hou’s expression changed and he hastily looked up, only to see that Long Chen had already fled hundreds of meters deeper into the mountains .

“f.u.c.k!”

For the reserved and elegant Ying Hou, that was the first he had shouted out such a vulgar word . His eyes were spitting flames; he had been fooled!

So the truth was that Long Chen had noticed that his full strength attack was actually not enough to incapacitate him and that he was simply not a match for a Muscle Rebirth expert .

After saying a couple ruthless words, he had stabbed his sword into the ground to fill the air with dust and then immediately fled . Perhaps fleeing was actually the most valuable combat skill to have .

However, when Long Chen noticed that Aman hadn’t fled with him and was instead just foolishly standing in his original spot, he was angered to the point of almost spitting out more blood .

He had purposely given him a glance just now to tell him there would be a chance to flee . He hadn’t expected him to not react and just stand there .

But since he had already fled now, he absolutely could not return . Ying Hou’s target was him . As long as he fled, Aman should be safe .

As he expected, he had only gone a couple hundred meters before Ying Hou angrily roared and started charging after him .

“Stop!”

Suddenly Aman angrily roared and a red light started to come from his skin . A violent energy soared from his body . He was just like a wild ancient beast that had been awakened .

Just as Ying Hou was about to chase after Long Chen, a huge battle-ax whistled over at him, causing his heart to tremble .

What most surprised him was that Aman’s attack had all of a sudden become much stronger than before . Even before the ax landed, just the wind from it alone was enough to make it hard for him to breath . The power behind his attacks had at least doubled .

BOOM!

Ying Hou didn’t take it head on . The new sword in his hand wasn’t an equal to his old sword, so he didn’t dare meet those blows . The result was that Aman’s ax ruthlessly smashed into the ground .

His terrifying energy caused the whole valley to shake . Broken rocks shot out everywhere and a shockingly huge crater appeared .

“Brother Long, quickly run! I’ll block him!”

Seeing his attack miss, he once more sent his ax smas.h.i.+ng at Ying Hou .

The fleeing Long Chen was both shocked, angered, and moved . He was shocked that Aman would be able to explode with such terrifying strength .

He was furious because there was no point in blocking him! Long Chen wanted Ying Hou to chase after him!

He was also moved that Aman would actually use his own life to try to protect him . Although Aman was a bit foolish, maybe even flat-out stupid, but he had a complete and total trust in Long Chen . He was even willing to give up his own life for him .

Long Chen had an urge to both cry and curse . He was extremely worried, but he also didn’t dare to stop running . That would simply be telling Ying Hou that he wouldn’t abandon Aman, thus revealing his weak spot . Then both of them would die .

Originally he was planning on drawing away Ying Hou and having Aman flee a different direction . But the result was that Aman didn’t seem to understand the slightest of Long Chen’s intentions .

BOOM!

Ying Hou dodged Aman three more times . At this time, Aman’s strength was growing stupendously . That last attack had been so powerful that he hadn’t been able to dodge . Blocking with his sword, he was forced back five steps .

“Die!”

Ying Hou raged . Today he had been repeatedly thwarted from killing Long Chen . A grand Muscle Rebirth expert like him was actually this helpless in front of two insignificant Qi Condensation beginners .

More importantly, Long Chen’s final attack just now had caused an internal injury that was not minor . Although he made himself appear fine, the truth was that he had merely suppressed the injury .

That was why he didn’t want to use any of his power to get past Aman who was blocking him . He might end up making his internal injury worse . But he was becoming increasingly anxious as he saw Long Chen flee further and further .

If he couldn’t throw off this giant fellow, then Long Chen really would escape . That was something completely unacceptable . His entire body’s green veins bulged again as he also sent a slash out at Aman’s attack .

Aman suddenly felt an unstoppable force push him back . He only managed to stabilize himself after almost ten meters . Although Ying Hou didn’t specialize in power, the sharp increase in strength after entering the Muscle Rebirth realm was simply too great .

He managed to force Aman back, but Ying Hou also wasn’t well off . His stomach was aching dully . That was the result of provoking his internal injury .

Long Chen’s last attack had now only shaken his internal organs, but even his Dantian had been somewhat jolted . That led to his spiritual qi being much more sluggish .

In the process of forcing Aman back, he had almost been unable to continue suppressing his injury . Immediately after forcing Aman back, he immediately went to go chase after Long Chen . Long Chen was his main target .

“You’re not going anywhere!”

Ying Hou almost went mad with rage . Aman actually hadn’t even received an injury despite being blown back and was now charging at him again .

Aman truly was a Magical Beast in human form . His physical body had reached an absolutely frightening level . Just by relying on his physical strength, he had actually managed to forcefully take a Muscle Rebirth expert’s attack .

Being unable to throw off Aman, Ying Hou’s eyes turned icy cold and he once more used his sword to block Aman’s battle-ax . He then snaked his sword through an opening to stab at Aman’ stomach .

Ying Hou had obviously been infuriated and was willing to kill to get away from this hindrance . But when his sword struck Aman’s skin, it was as if he had struck a hard surface . His sword slipped and his full strength blow immediately lost over half its power .
