Chapter 32
Zi Chen carefully tailed them all the way. Finally, when the sky was about to brighten, he found an opportunity to strike.
His target was Qi Yuan. Based on his intuition, Zi Chen guessed that the other party was slightly weaker.
With both hands on the ground like an agile leopard, Zi Chen slowly approached. In this silent forest, not a single sound was made. Zi Chen didn't even look at Qi Yuan's face, afraid that the other party would notice.
Qi Yuan was leaning against a tree and sleeping. Zi Chen overestimated his reaction time. When he was resting, his mouth was slightly open and he was snoring softly. When Zi Chen arrived in front of him, he didn't even notice.
Without using Zhen Qi, Zi Chen only stretched out his hands and twisted the other party's neck.
"Kacha."
A clear sound of bones breaking was heard. Qi Yuan's neck had been broken. Then, Zi Chen reached into Qi Yuan's chest with one hand and grabbed the token on Qi Yuan's waist with the other.
His left hand took out a porcelain bottle and his right hand grabbed the token. Zi Chen began to flee.
"Not good."
The first one to react was Wang Meng. When he heard the cracking sound, his whole body trembled. Then, he saw Zi Chen running away.
"Chase!"
Wang Xiong roared angrily and flew forward at an extremely fast speed.
When the others woke up, Wang Meng had already entered the forest.
"That's right, Qi Yuan. That damned Zi Chen, I'll definitely kill you!" Lin Chuan let out a roar. With a tap of his foot, he suddenly flew forward.
Like an arrow released from a bow, he also used a second-rate footwork.
The other two had ugly expressions on their faces as they followed Lin Chuan and chased after him at high speed.
The sky was slowly getting brighter. There was still a trace of coldness in the morning air. Zi Chen was like an agile leopard in the forest. He was escaping at full speed. The dewdrops on the leaves wet his green clothes.
Wang Xiong was chasing Zi Chen closely. Moreover, the distance between them was rapidly closing.
"Zi Chen, I want you dead!" Wang Xiong roared as he chased after him.
"You want to catch me? Come on then." Zi Chen sneered and sped up again.
They were in the forest, and the road was not easy to traverse. If they were in the outside world, Zi Chen would have been caught by Wang Xiong long ago. Even so, the distance between them was getting shorter and shorter.
"Wait till I catch you. Let's see where you can run to." Wang Xiong sneered. The distance between them was getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, the sound of running water entered Wang Xiong's ears. He saw the fleeing Zi Chen suddenly turn around and laugh at Wang Xiong, "You will never catch up with me." With that, Zi Chen turned around and jumped forward.
When Wang Xiong got closer, he discovered that this was a huge waterfall. Below it was flowing water rapidly. There were also streams of white mist that blocked his vision.
"Damn it."
Looking at the towering cliff, Wang Xiong could not muster up the courage to jump down. He could only look at the flowing river and curse.
"Why, did he run away?" Lin Chuan and the rest chased after him.
"This kid is very cunning. He seemed to have predicted this and jumped down." Wang Xiong said in a deep voice. Everyone could see that he was suppressing the anger in his eyes.
"Hiss, this kid is really crazy. Is he playing with his life?"
Looking at the waterfall below, Lin Chuan felt a little dizzy. He took a deep breath and could not help but curse.
"What do we do now?" The few of them looked at Wang Xiong again.
"If he is alive, I want to see him. If he is dead, I want to dismember his body." Wang Xiong said coldly. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
The three of them nodded and walked to the other side. They wanted to take a detour down the mountain.
The four of them left quickly. After a long time, a wet right hand reached out from the cliff. Then, Zi Chen, who was drenched by the waterfall, climbed up from the side of the cliff.
"Pfft."
Zi Chen spat out the water in his mouth and wiped his face. Seeing that there was no one around, he could not help but laugh. "Haha, looks like he went down. What a bunch of idiots."
Previously, Zi Chen had jumped down in an instant, but he hadn't landed at the bottom of the waterfall. Instead, he had relied on his strong physique to grab onto a protruding rock and hang there, blocking the impact of the waterfall.
In a short 60 minutes, Zi Chen had reached his limit twice. There was a steady flow of energy from his heart. If it was someone else, they would not be able to hold on and would have fallen down.
When climbing up, Zi Chen also used up all his strength to safely reach the top.
The sky was already bright. The golden sun shone on the ground, removing the moisture on the ground. The fog above the waterfall also disappeared.
At this moment, Wang Xiong and the rest had already reached the bottom of the waterfall. They were looking for Zi Chen, but unfortunately, they did not see any trace of him coming ashore.
"Could it be that he really died and went downstream along the river?" Wang Xiong guessed.
"It's very possible. This cliff is hundreds of meters high. Even if he doesn't die from falling, he will faint. It's very likely that Zi Chen has already followed the river downstream."
Lin Chuan frowned and explained. His eyes looked around randomly. Unknowingly, his eyes followed the waterfall and saw the top of the waterfall.
The next moment, Lin Chuan's eyes almost fell out. He found a person standing on top of the waterfall.
"There's someone there. It seems to be Zi Chen." Lin Chuan exclaimed.
"What?"
Their faces changed. Their eyes followed Lin Chuan's direction. When they saw it, their noses were almost crooked from anger.
They had searched everywhere but had not found him. Who would have thought that Zi Chen would actually be above the waterfall? At this moment, Zi Chen was standing above the waterfall, wringing his wet clothes. He seemed to have noticed the gazes from below. Zi Chen swept his gaze over and saw a few people. He then smiled at them and disappeared above.
"Damn it, damn it, Zi Chen, I'm going to eat you."
Wang Xiong was really angry. They had only been here for a short night, but they were played around by Zi Chen.
The few of them spurred their horses on and had no choice but to climb the mountain again to catch up with Zi Chen.
"This is very stingy ah. Unexpectedly, there are only two contribution points and two Qi Recovery Pills. There isn't even a single True Qi Dan. Stingy, truly stingy." After seeing the number of contribution points on the token and the Qi Recovery Pills in the porcelain bottle, Zi Chen was very disappointed.
Now, his True Qi had reached the peak of the sixth level. After several extreme training sessions, he was very close to the seventh level. If he had a True Qi Pill at this moment, he had full confidence that he would break through.
After some calculations, he obtained the porcelain bottle.
Unfortunately, Man proposes but God disposes. He did not get a True Qi Pill.
Depressed, Zi Chen could only throw away the empty token and start running again. He imagined that he would break through and then counterattack, but it could not be realized.
When Wang Xiong and the others caught up, they only saw a token and a broken porcelain bottle.
"After him." Furious, they gave chase again. This time, they looked at the water stains on the ground and chased after him.
As they chased, they found that the water stains had disappeared.
After all, they had spent a long time going up the mountain.
"Damn it, this sneaky bastard. Split up and chase. Be careful. It's fine as long as we don't get ambushed. If we face him head-on, Zi Chen will definitely die." Wang Xiong, who was mad, could not help but say.
Everyone spread out, looking for Zi Chen.
The four of them had already spread out. Occasionally, they would contact each other and say that they did not find Zi Chen.
In the distance, Zi Chen looked at the weakest of the four and muttered in his heart, "It's him. He's only at the seventh level of True Qi, but he dares to kill me alone. I hope he has a True Qi Pill."
"Where is this Zi Chen hiding? That damned thing actually killed Qi Yuan."
Looking at the huge forest around him, Po Luo cursed inwardly. He had a very good relationship with Qi Yuan. Before coming here, they had even discussed that after killing Zi Chen, they would go back and have a good drink. Who would have thought that Qi Yuan would be killed by Zi Chen in just one night?
"Despicable thing. He actually dared to ambush me. If I saw him, I would definitely kill him myself." Thinking this, Po Luo could not help but whisper.
This was a primitive forest. The trees here were all over a hundred years old. Behind each tree could be a person.
Just as Po Luo was whispering, a voice suddenly came from behind a tree.
"Is that so? You want to kill me? Do you have the strength?"
Immediately after, a person walked out from behind the tree. It was Zi Chen. His clothes were still wet, but they were no longer dripping water.
"Zi Chen." Killing intent flashed in Po Luo's eyes.
Looking at Po Luo, Zi Chen indifferently said, "I'll give you a chance. Call your companions, or do you want to do it yourself?"
"Shameless boasting. I'll naturally kill you myself."
Po Luo was furious. His peak Stage Seven True Qi violently surged. His eyes were filled with killing intent, but before he attacked, he shouted, "Zi Chen is here."
Attacking and calling for help at the same time, Po Luo's reaction was very fast.
"Die."
His eyes were filled with killing intent. The aura around his body was compressed to a point. The second-rate Battle Skill, Star Burst Fist, was already unleashed.
The Star Burst Fist was one of the more powerful second-rate Battle Skills in Nimbus Martial Ancestor, so it was used by many people.
Facing Po Luo's attack, Zi Chen did not dodge. His calm eyes suddenly became fierce. The aura around his body crazily surged. In an instant, Zi Chen seemed to have transformed into a fierce tiger, a fierce tiger that was both tough and soft.
A fusion Battle Skill instantly appeared.
"Roar!"
After the roar of a fierce tiger, Zi Chen fiercely punched. With a cracking sound, Po Luo's body flew backwards.
He had truly come quickly and retreated just as quickly.
"Go to hell."
With a tap of his foot, killing intent burst out from his eyes. Like a nimble tiger, he instantly appeared in front of Po Luo. Under the other's terrified gaze, Zi Chen once again punched.
"Help!"
The terrified Po Luo cried for help. His True Qi flooded his body as he began to defend. In his view, peak Stage Seven True Qi should be able to block Zi Chen's attack.
Puff.
With a soft sound, Zi Chen's fist struck Po Luo's chest. His protective True Qi was instantly scattered, and a powerful force surged towards his heart. In an instant, his heart stopped beating.
"Ugh!"
Po Luo's terrified eyes were filled with disbelief. He had never imagined that his Stage Seven True Qi would be unable to block Zi Chen's attack.
Just as his life force dissipated and his body fell backwards, Zi Chen had already taken away his command medallion. There were still four contribution points in it. In addition, the True Qi Pills he had kept for himself were also taken away by Zi Chen.
Peng.
