Chapter 84 (2/2)

Chu Lingjiao smiled gently as a cold light flashed through her eyes.

The murderous intent! Xiao Chen’s Divine Sense was far more sensitive than that of ordinary people. Even if it was impossible to detect, he could still feel it. At this point, she finally had the intention to kill him!

But he was the only one who felt Chu Lingjiao’s murderous intent. Shen Qian, Liu Fenghuang, and the others were not aware of this at all. His heartbeat became more intense, and he tried to calm himself down. The one with the highest cultivation was Chu Lingjiao. Although Shen Qian and the others were alert, Chu Lingjiao could kill all of them with one stroke.

However, he could not directly remind them that. Otherwise, they would not believe him, and Chu Lingjiao would have the excuse to kill him first. He then hurriedly sent a Divine Sense to the Nine-heaven Jade Pendant. “Evernight! Are you there?”

However, Evernight had consumed too much Soul power before to protect him from the tearing power of the space, so it had fallen into slumber, and might not wake up in a short period of time.

All of a sudden, the light around dimmed as a dark cloud gradually covered the moon. The cold wind blew from around as the murderous intent arose! She finally was about to move! Xiao Chen even saw her cold pupil. The first one she planned to kill was him!

Suddenly, a heavy growl came from the distance. Everybody was shocked, and even the earth seemed to be shaking. The crowd immediately panicked. “What’s going on? What is that voice?!”

There were many legends about the Dragon Meridian Mountains. There was even a rumor that said once there was a Nirvana Realm expert, joined forces with a dozen Nascent Soul Realm experts, went into the center of the mountains to look for ancient artifacts. But in the end, none of them came out.

At the moment, everyone felt a little fear from the bottom of their hearts. The unknown existence just now was far more powerful than them. Shen Qian frowned and said, “Leave, now!” Before her voice fell, a row of sword radiance dashed from her back. “Slash!” It left a wound on her shoulder. If she hadn’t noticed in time, that flying sword had already cut off her head.

Before everyone could react, dozens of figures suddenly flashed in all directions. In an instant, three or four Teal Jade Sect disciples were killed. Xiao Chen was shocked. He just had put all his attention on Chu Lingjiao, so he hadn’t noticed these people approaching.

Shen Qian turned around and wanted to unleash her flying sword when she was punched from her back. “Puff!” She spat out a mouthful of blood. Suddenly, it was dark all around, and people could not see things. The dark cloud finally covered the bright moon.

With the Divine Sense, Xiao Chen rushed to Liu Fenghuang, grabbed her, ready to take her into the mountains. Suddenly, a flying sword came from behind. It was not targeted at him but Shen Qian who stood beside him.

Shen Qian was seriously injured at the moment and was not able to avoid this sword. Xiao Chen swung his sleeve and brought her to him. “Slash!” The flying sword penetrated a disciple’s head.

While taking two women, Xiao Chen rushed forth madly. He didn’t stop until he had run for 20 kilometers. Fortunately, the dark clouds had covered the moon; otherwise, they could never escape from them. Now, the three people were gasping for breath. After a short while, Liu Fenghuang exclaimed, “Shit! Senior Sister Chu is still there!”

Xiao Chen hurriedly covered her mouth and made another gesture of silence. Shen Qian looked at Xiao Chen coldly and said in a low voice, “Who are you exactly?”

Xiao Chen gave her a look. “Who am I? If it had not been for me, you would have been killed by that woman surnamed Chu!”

“How is it possible! Senior Sister Chu…” Liu Fenghuang heard him say the one who attacked Shen Qian was Chu Lingjiao, and she could not believe it. Shen Qian looked around and said, “Leave here first.”

The three people then walked forth. But Shen Qian was heavily hit by that punch, and she had just run 20 kilometers, so she could hardly stand on her feet. After they found a cave, she adjusted her breath for a long time and finally forced the extravasated blood out of her body as she spat out the blood.

Liu Fenghuang held her and said, “Do you need the dragon pill?” Shen Qian waved her hand and said, “No. Keep it safe.”

Xiao Chen was guarding at the entrance of the cave. Shen Qian was seriously injured now, so it was impossible to ride on swords.

“The men who will send the Flying-cloud Stone, when will they come?”

Shen Qian cast a glance outside the cave and saw the sky blue. It was almost dawn. She thought, “The message had been sent a long time ago. If it still doesn’t come before daylight, there is only one possibility. The helpers were killed on their way.”

“I don’t know. Just wait for another moment. If they haven’t arrived when it gets bright, we will figure out a way to leave the Dragon Meridian Mountains first.”

Xiao Chen shook his head and meditated on the spot. When he played the Fuxi Zither before, he had consumed so much energy that he now only had recovered 20% or 30% of his cultivation.

It was almost dawn when suddenly a dark spot appeared in the skyline. The black shadow grew bigger and bigger and suddenly approached them. It looked like a small island that was shrunk countless times.

Xiao Chen hurried back to the cave and said, “Look! Is it the Flying-cloud Stone?” As his voice fell, the cave dimmed suddenly. The mini island was hanging outside the cave and covered most of the light.

“Junior Sister Shen, Junior Sister Liu, are you all right?” A clear voice of a man rose from outside.
