Chapter 75 (1/2)

“People inside, come out. Don’t let me force you.”

A cold voice sounded outside. Xiao Chen was stunned. This voice was… Gongye Zi who came to the Three Pure Sect to take Senior Sister Luo and Xian’er away!

The driver said in tremor, “Is there some misunderstanding? There are just some family members inside…” His voice stopped suddenly, and then came a sound of falling to the ground. Apparently, he lost his life.

Xiao Chen rushed out of the carriage and saw the driver lying in blood. He looked coldly at Gongye Zi, wanting to say: “Why you won’t even spare an ordinary man?” But he thought of those blood ponds in the Skygale Sect. They have killed so many lives, and how would they care about one or two ordinary people?

Gongye Zi said coldly, “It’s really you. If you understand things, come with me. Or…” He then punched at the carriage. “Pow!” The carriage broke into pieces as Xiao Han and others flew out in an instant.

Li Muxue exclaimed upon seeing the driver in blood. She then tightly covered her mouth. Xiao Chen quickly made up his mind. He pulled her and rushed into the woods. Xiao Han and Shangguan Yan also followed. It was impossible for them to fight Gongye Zi.

“Master, shall we go after them?” A disciple asked.

Gongye Zi raised his hand and said, “Two of you go back and tell the sect leader to take men to ravage the Xiao Family and then refine all of them into blood souls.”

“Yes, Master.” Two disciples immediately headed for Sang City, while the other four stayed.

“You follow me into the woods to arrest them. Don’t mind the others, but you have to take that Xiao Chen alive. Don’t let them escape this time!” After saying so, Gongye Zi played Sky Treader Technique and rushed into the woods.

The ancient trees in the forest were towering. The further into the woods, the more twisted the path became, and steep mountains stood far ahead of them. Xiao Chen and the others had rushed for about 30 minutes, and they had no idea where they were. Xiao Chen said, “You go back to the Xiao Family. You go to the Three Pure Sect to inform the two seniors.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll distract that old Daoist.” He then looked at Li Muxue beside him. “Muxue, you go too!”

“You can’t handle them alone. I’ll stay.”

While speaking, the sound of the enemies came close. Xiao Han and Shangguan Yan said no more and rushed to Cloud Province. Li Muxue did not want to part, so she went into the deep woods with Xiao Chen.

As they went further, the air became weirder and weirder. There seemed to be unusual turbulence came from the depth of the woods. “Rumble!” With a thunder, Gongye Zi and the four disciples had caught up.

Xiao Chen hurriedly chanted a spell as several rows of Qi blades moved backward, bringing up the grasses and woods. Gongye Zi ran his Qi to block, only to find that there seemed to be some unseen restraint that made him unable to wield half of his strength.

Xiao Chen also had noticed this. Without hesitation, he pulled Li Muxue and ran to the deep woods. Both sides had run for an hour, and their speed gradually became slower now.

They saw evil Qi surging into the sky ahead of them, and it looked extremely weird. Xiao Chen decisively pulled Li Muxue and ran forth, but Gongye Zi and the others stopped.

“Master, it’s the border of Falling-jade Glow ahead. Shall we keep pursuing?”

Gongye Zi frowned and looked solemn. “Go. But remember not to damage a single flower or tree in there. Don’t startle the host here.”

One hour later, Xiao Chen and Li Muxue ran into a quiet valley. The grasses and woods around were prosperous, the birds were singing, and the flowers were fragrant. It was completely different from the sullen forest before. Li Muxue suddenly exclaimed, “Brother Xiao, what’s that!”

Xiao Chen followed her eyes and saw a figure standing 30 meters away. To be exact, it was not a human being but a zombie. The skin of that zombie was dark all over as evil Qi suffused from it. Its face also looked extremely scary.

In such a beautiful place with abundant Spiritual Qi, how could such an evil being exist here? There was definitely something wrong, and there must be some sorts of demons in here. Xiao Chen whispered, “Don’t startle this thing. Get around.”

The two people were just about to make a detour when they heard thunder behind them. Gongye Zi and the others had caught up with them. The zombie was also startled and then charged to them in a flash.

The zombie was as fast as lightning and rushed to them. Xiao Chen shouted, “Watch out!” He carried Li Muxue to parry aside. But Gongye Zi did not know that there was an evil thing. He punched out. “Pow!” The grasses and woods were brought about.

Gongye Zi took two steps back. He was shocked. He didn’t expect this monster to be so indestructible. Before he could run his energy, the zombie roared and charged to them. A middle Foundation Building Realm disciple could not parry, and the zombie directly cut open his chest with two claw attacks. He died instantly as his eyes turned black.

Seeing this thing so formidable, Xiao Chen thought it was definitely not a normal zombie. He was so scared about what happened just now. If he reacted a little bit slower, Li Muxue would die. Thinking of this, he pulled her and rushed forth.

After running for one hour, they had met many zombies similar to the one they met before. But Xiao Chen left them to Gongye Zi. With a wind noise, Gongye Zi caught up again.

He was in terrible condition all over and looked incensed. Obviously, he was extremely mad about Xiao Chen. If he did not plan to catch Xiao Chen alive, he already killed Xiao Chen. He had four men at the beginning, but now there was only one left. Apparently, the other three people were killed by the zombies.

“Now where can you run!”
