Chapter 448

"No!"

Feeling the body in his arms gradually turning cold, Zi Chen screamed. His voice was mournful, and his face was filled with panic.

Yue Xianzi's eyes were closed, and there was a sad smile on her face. She was like a fairy who had fallen into a deep sleep, quiet and beautiful.

The old man had just left him with his last words, telling him to take good care of Yue'er, and now she was about to die. Zi Chen couldn't accept this reality. After spending so much time together, they had become friends, and Zi Chen didn't want anything to happen to his friend.

Blood flowed through the gaps between his fingers, as if his life was flowing away. This feeling of not being able to grasp and control made him feel fear. At this moment, Zi Chen truly felt inconsolable, and he felt how weak he was.

"Stop howling. She's not dead yet. She just fainted. Quickly find a safe place to heal."

The monk spoke, using the Buddhist Lion's Roar Technique. It was like a wake-up call, and Zi Chen was instantly awakened.

Yue Xianzi was indeed not dead. Her neck was still trembling slightly, and he could feel her weak breathing. Although she wasn't dead, her injuries were too severe, and she wasn't far from death. If she didn't heal soon, she would definitely die.

"Let's go."

Zi Chen instantly woke up. He hugged Yue'er and turned to leave. At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and then it shattered. A sky-covering palm print with a destructive aura slammed towards them.

It was one of the Original Core realm old monsters. After a simple healing, one of them attacked Zi Chen.

At the same time, the other Original Core realm old monsters also moved, and another round of attacks began.

"Boom!"

Zi Chen carried Yue Xianzi and left. Lightning flashed, and golden spiritual sense flashed in his sea of consciousness. A purple-gold gourd appeared between Zi Chen's eyebrows. It was flowing with purple-gold light, shining with endless brilliance. It was dazzling, and one could tell at a glance that it was no ordinary item.

Then, the lid of the gourd opened in the air, and a psychedelic light spat out. Then, a silver light was spat out. The silver light appeared, shining brightly, and instantly turned into a thunder dragon. It shook its head and tail, shattering the space as it flew up.

Above the sky, an explosion sounded. Destructive energy swept through everything, and the void that had just healed began to shatter again.

The thunder dragon palm print dissipated.

"Of course."

Looking at the purple-gold gourd in the sky, the faces of all the Original Core old monsters changed. A gourd that could seal such powerful lightning was naturally not an ordinary item.

A strange look flashed across their eyes, followed by greed. After that, they all unleashed their strongest attacks, wanting to snatch the gourd away while destroying the enemy.

This was a chase by the Original Core eccentrics. Each of them was incomparably powerful and unleashed attacks that could shatter space. They were determined to kill Yue Xianzi. At the same time, Zi Chen and the monk became their targets.

Between heaven and earth, silver light flickered. It was abnormally dazzling. Numerous lightning dragons soared into the sky, shattering space. With terrifying power, they exploded repeatedly in the sky.

In the distance, some of the major forces in the air were already dumbfounded.

Furthermore, the battle in the market was also nearing its end after the old man's self-destruction. At that moment, the people from the Shangguan Family chose to flee.

As long as they managed to escape, the four great powers would cease to exist in the future. And if that Primal Core eccentric wanted to escape, no one would be able to stop him.

"Clean up the battlefield and retreat quickly."

The entire market had been flattened. After that, it was time to clean up the battlefield. This time, many Original Core eccentrics had died in battle.

Most importantly, they had created a miracle and created a legend. They had actually managed to conquer a market.

"I hope they keep their word."

In the sky, the overlords of the four great powers appeared. Although they had gained a lot this time, they had also offended the Shangguan Family. Gains and losses could not be considered for the time being.

The explosions in the sky were still resounding, shaking the nine heavens. Looking at the direction where Zi Chen had fled, an overlord asked, "Should we go and help?"

"Our goal is only to conquer a market. We won't participate in the battle between the major forces," said another overlord.

The battle in the market had come to an end, but the battle on the other side was not. Zi Chen and the others were facing a great pursuit. They could lose their lives at any time.

Zi Chen had already been injured before. His speed under the heavens was affected, and under the energy attacks, he had encountered danger several times. His injuries had worsened.

The monk was not much better. His strongest defensive light shield had been broken countless times.

"Amitabha."

The monk's body flickered with golden light as he displayed his strongest strength. The six-syllable mantra appeared repeatedly, and Buddhist battle techniques were unleashed.

"Buzz."

At the same time, he also controlled the elixir weapon left behind by the old man. Monstrous killing intent surged, and the spear emitted a dazzling brilliance as it pierced towards the sky.

The spear's power was very strong, far surpassing that of an ordinary elixir weapon. As it rose into the sky, ripples of energy spread out. The void was directly shattered, and the attacks of the Original Core eccentrics were continuously shattered.

However, the opponent also had an elixir weapon that was stronger than them. Moreover, as the injuries from the explosion were stabilized, they could unleash even more terrifying attacks.

This was destined to be a life and death battle.

"Hurry up and leave!"

Zi Chen shouted. Yue Xianzi's life aura was getting weaker and weaker. She could not hold on for much longer. Even if they were not killed, Yue Xianzi would die from excessive blood loss and her injuries worsened.

The void silently broke open, and the sneak attack from before reappeared. The opponent's eyes were still cold, and the sharp sword in his hand pierced towards Yue Xianzi again.

"Scram!"

Zi Chen shouted. His spiritual sense had been spreading out in all directions, and he instantly discovered the abnormality. Golden light flashed around his body, making him look like a golden-armored god of war. His Perfect Body was displayed, and extreme energy was also crazily surging in his Abdomen. At the same time, he threw out a domineering punch.

"Boom."

This was a punch that Zi Chen used all of his strength. It carried the endless anger in his heart, and the dazzling fist light seemed to be burning with flames.

This punch was very powerful. It was definitely Zi Chen's most powerful punch. It directly shattered the shadow's spirit weapon, and at the same time, the punch landed on the opponent's body.

Usually, this punch would be able to destroy the Imperial Sky, but today, it did not even kill the opponent. The shadow coughed up blood and flew backwards. There was a hint of shock in his eyes, but he was still alive.

The opponent's realm was only at the mid-stage of the Imperial Sky Realm. After that, the opponent's figure flashed and completely disappeared into the void.

Because of the shadow's entanglement, the group was once again in danger. Many energies fell from the sky, and elixir weapons almost drowned them.

"Boom!"

The purple-gold gourd that danced in the air opened again. This time, the illusory light circulated, and all the lightning inside appeared, transforming into lightning dragons that rushed into the sky, instantly filling it.

Amidst the explosions, Zi Chen and company finally rushed out, but they coughed up blood from the corner of their mouths. Their injuries worsened once again.

As for Zi Chen, his Perfect Body suffered unimaginable damage in order to protect Yue Xianzi.

In the sky, the pursuit continued. Their lives were in danger. At that moment, they saw a dense forest below.

"There's a dense forest below. Let's go."

There were many ancient trees in the dense forest that blotted out the sky and the sun. It was a very good hiding place. Zi Chen and the monk instantly swooped down. After a few flashes, they completely disappeared.

In the sky, the Primordial Core old monster that was chasing them did not enter the dense forest. Instead, he attacked from the sky.

A destructive palm print appeared and landed on the dense forest. Then, it exploded. The ancient trees exploded, and wood chips flew everywhere. The mountain rocks were reduced to dust, and a vacuum appeared in the dense forest.

Through the vacuum, the two of them could be seen fleeing at top speed.

Therefore, the few Primordial Core old monsters began to flatten the forest. The huge forest became a vacuum.

The beasts panicked and fled in panic. The ground trembled and rumbled constantly, blocking the two of them.

In the end, Zi Chen and the monk had no choice but to soar into the sky again and flee into the distance.

The Primordial Core old monster sneered and kept chasing. The other party's injuries seemed to be very serious, but his speed was not slow at all. His body emitted light. Clearly, he had burned his essence energy and was truly going all out.

After running for a million miles, the two of them were finally caught up. A terrifying palm print fell from the sky and blasted them into nothingness. There was not even a drop of blood.

"No, this is an avatar."

The Primordial Core old monster instantly realized that something was wrong. His expression changed and he was furious. He had been fooled.

After that, they retreated one after another.

Zi Chen and the monk ran in the opposite direction. After running another million miles, they found a hidden area.

Now, he was going to treat Yue Xianzi's injuries. However, before that, he had to deal with her injuries. Zi Chen looked at the monk. After the monk chanted a Buddhist mantra, he turned and left.

"Men and women should not touch each other. Monk, you are a monk. You can treat her injuries," Zi Chen called out.

"Amitabha, monks are also human." The monk glared at Zi Chen. His figure flickered a few times and disappeared.

"Damn it, monks are not men." Zi Chen cursed. However, Yue Xianzi's life was in danger. If he delayed any longer, her life would be in danger.

There was not much time left for him to think. After hesitating for a while, Zi Chen made up his mind.

After he threw the demonic ape far away, Zi Chen apologized to Yue Xianzi. Then, he carefully tore open Yue Xianzi's clothes.

Yue Xianzi's brows furrowed slightly, as if it had affected her wounds.

Seeing her jade-like skin and smelling her alluring body fragrance at close range, Zi Chen's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. His hands trembled as he tore open the other pieces of clothing.

After that, a pair of seductive jade peaks appeared. They were white, tender, and full of elasticity. They were flawless.

After a quick glance, Zi Chen's gaze instantly shifted away. He saw the hideous wound that was incompatible with her smooth skin. It was a bloody hole. There was already black blood on the surface, and it was about to coagulate. He had to treat it first.

Zi Chen gritted his teeth. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and carefully cleaned the wound. When he came into contact with Yue Xianzi's smooth skin, his hand couldn't help but tremble, and it affected the wound.

This caused Yue Xianzi to feel something. Her brows furrowed together, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Yes, yes, this …" Zi Chen was tongue-tied. He trembled as he tried to explain. However, he suddenly realized that he was stuttering and couldn't say a word.

Fortunately, Yue Xianzi had just woken up when she fainted again. This allowed Zi Chen to heave a sigh of relief.

He took out some spirit herbs and crushed them with trembling hands. He then sprinkled the medicinal juice on the cleaned wound. During this process, he accidentally dripped some of the spiritual juice elsewhere, causing him to feel awkward. It took him quite a lot of spirit herbs to clean it up.

After that, he took out some special healing pills and carefully treated the wound on the front and back. Then, he wrapped the wound with a white cloth.

By the time he was done, Zi Chen's forehead was drenched in sweat. It was as if he had just been through a great battle. He took out a piece of his own clothing and helped Yue Xianzi put it on. Only then did Zi Chen heave a sigh of relief.

Yue Xianzi's injuries had stabilized. Her breathing gradually became even. She was like a sleeping beauty, quiet and peaceful. Her life was saved.

"Are you very fast? You're done so quickly." The monk's mocking laughter came from behind him.
