Chapter 46

Zi Chen could only watch as the fist flew towards Zhang Haotian's head.

But strangely, not only was Zhang Haotian not afraid, he was even smiling, as if he had already seen through life and death.

"Peng!"

Just as the fist was about to land, a green light suddenly appeared from above, blocking Zhang Haotian's path with extreme speed. It collided with the fist, causing a dull sound to ring out.

The skinny disciple who threw the punch retreated seven or eight steps under the attack of the green light before stabilizing himself.

At the same time, a green-robed figure descended from above. This person was not very old, his appearance was unremarkable, and his eyes were very small. If placed in a crowd, no one would give him a second glance. He was very ordinary, very ordinary.

But at this moment, no one dared to look down on this ordinary person, because it was him who had blocked the attack of a tenth level true qi master and forced him to retreat.

With a faint smile on his ordinary face, the young man said to the dumbfounded Zi Chen, "I'm not late, am I?"

"You!" Zi Chen could not describe his feelings. Was it excitement, joy, or surprise?

But all his feelings were condensed into one sentence. "You came at the right time."

"That's good. What do we do with these small fries?" The young man was still smiling as he looked at the four people, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Since they're small fries, of course they'll be killed," Zi Chen said coldly.

"Good."

A cold light flashed in the young man's small eyes. His body flashed, and he was already several meters away. He lifted his leg and kicked towards one of the strong cultivators.

"Peng!" With a dull sound, the person was sent flying.

"So strong?" The other three people looked at each other and saw a trace of shock in each other's eyes.

To send a tenth level true qi master flying with one kick, this strength was enough to kill them.

"Go, retreat." Zheng Hua made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and retreated with the other three people.

"You want to leave? Do you think you can leave without leaving an arm behind?" Zi Chen's voice, filled with killing intent, rang out again.

"Kill!" Zi Chen's standard command to charge forward was heard.

Before, every time Zi Chen said the word "kill", he would rush towards the four people and injure them.

"Let's go."

This time, Zheng Hua no longer hesitated. He raised his Qi and flew into the distance. The three people behind him did not even look back as they fled.

Zi Chen had just taken two steps forward when his vision turned black. His entire body fell to the ground. He had reached the limit of his life.

The young man dodged and caught Zi Chen first. "Are you okay?"

Zi Chen had already fainted and could not speak.

"Sigh, of all the things you could have done, you just had to risk your life."

The young man shook his head and placed Zi Chen's black sword on his back. Then, he grabbed Zi Chen with one hand and leaped in front of Zhang Haotian. Then, he grabbed Zhang Haotian with the other hand. His figure flickered a few times before disappearing into the forest at an extremely fast speed.

Zheng Hua and the others ran for more than ten miles before they finally stopped to catch their breath.

"Damn it, did we run into a monster?"

A tenth layer expert could not help but curse. At his level, he had experienced at least a hundred battles. But today, he only attacked and did not defend. This was the first time he had encountered a battle where one was willing to exchange a life for a life. And what was even more strange was that his side had four lives, but they could not exchange a single life for the other side's.

It was as if the other side had an immortal body.

His body was riddled with scars, but he could not fall. Every time he was exhausted, he only needed to take a few breaths to become lively again.

"Not good, we seem to have been tricked." Zheng Hua suddenly exclaimed, as if he had thought of something.

"What trick?" Everyone was stunned.

"That kid who came later is only at the seventh layer of true qi."

Zheng Hua said, "His appearance was too shocking. His light footwork was too mysterious, so we all overlooked his strength. Shou Hou, you were kicked twice. Are you injured?"

"Oh, I'm not," Shou Hou exclaimed.

"Damn it, we were tricked. Let's go back." Shou Hou was the first to stand up.

"Forget it, we ran so far. The other side should have run away long ago. Sigh, what a pity … I was careless and missed a good opportunity to kill two geniuses." Zheng Hua was very vexed, his eyes full of pity.

"Then what do we do now?"

"First, we recover from our injuries. The two of them are seriously injured and won't be able to recover in a short time. After we recover, we'll kill our way back." Zheng Hua said.

"Okay, we must kill that last kid too!"

The others nodded, and then each of them found a place to sit cross-legged and recover from their injuries.

Zhang Haotian had never admired anyone before, but after meeting Zi Chen, he admired him.

Not only had Zi Chen saved him, but he also admired Zi Chen's fighting style. He had exchanged a life for a life, and with one life, he had exchanged four lives for Zheng Hua and the others.

Although Zi Chen was seriously injured and unconscious, Zhang Haotian believed that Zheng Hua and the others were not feeling good either.

If there were three of them instead of four, they would have died under Zi Chen's fighting style.

A True Energy Stage Eight had the strength to kill three True Energy Stage Ten experts. Zhang Haotian believed that he did not have such means.

He used to think that he was ruthless, but after seeing Zi Chen's fighting style, he had to admit that Zi Chen was much more ruthless than he was.

Zi Chen was unconscious and Zhang Haotian was seriously injured. The young man carried the two of them and flew away. Even with two people, his speed did not decrease at all.

Half an hour later, the unconscious Zi Chen woke up. His body was floating in the air, and he could hear the wind whistling in his ears.

His heart was beating rhythmically, and every time it beat, a silver energy would surge out and enter his body through his blood. His seriously injured body was slowly recovering.

"How far have we gone?" Zi Chen asked.

"You're awake?"

The young man landed lightly and looked at Zi Chen in disbelief. His eyes and expression were as if he was looking at a monster.

Zhang Haotian, who was next to him, also felt that it was inconceivable. According to his guess, Zi Chen should have been unconscious for at least a few days, but after only half an hour, he was awake. Although his voice was low, it was powerful. He definitely did not sound weak.

"Comparisons are odious!" Zhang Haotian closed his eyes.

"Dozens of miles." The young man said.

The young man was Miao Kong, who had rushed over after hearing the sound of thunder. He did not expect to meet Zi Chen.

"Stop, I want to recover."

Miao Kong put down Zi Chen and Zhang Haotian. The two of them sat cross-legged and began to recover from their injuries.

"Do you have any elixirs?"

Miao Kong took out a hundred-year-old elixir from his bag and handed it to Zi Chen.

The latter chewed twice and swallowed it. Rich spiritual energy appeared in his stomach, and the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Art began to circulate …

His heart absorbed this spiritual energy, and more silver energy rushed to every part of his body. This time, the wounds on Zi Chen's body began to heal under the naked eye. The wound slowly healed and formed scars. After a while, the scars fell, and the previous wounds had already grown tender white flesh.

"This …?"

Miao Kong and Zhang Haotian were dumbfounded. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. Even though the two of them had seen many inconceivable things, they had never seen such a situation before. Their seriously injured body was actually healing under the naked eye.

"That elixir of yours, is it the elixir that can bring the dead back to life?" The cold Zhang Haotian asked a rare question.

"What do you think? I have more here. Why don't you try it?" Miao Kong asked, and then took out the same hundred-year-old elixir.

Zhang Haotian took it, chewed it, and swallowed it. After a while, his pale face became rosy. The spiritual energy of the elixir was crazily running around in his body. Zhang Haotian could only use his cultivation technique to refine this spiritual energy.

With the help of the elixir, there was still some effect on the recovery of injuries. However, it was far from being as terrifying as Zi Chen's performance.

Two hours later, Zhang Haotian finally suppressed the chaotic Spirit Energy in his body. His heavily injured body started to take a turn for the better. However, when he opened his eyes, he saw Zi Chen looking at him with a rosy complexion and a smile in his eyes.

"Your injuries have healed?" Zhang Haotian asked.

Zi Chen nodded.

Zhang Haotian lowered his head and no longer looked at Zi Chen. He didn't want to vomit blood.

The advantage that he had always thought of was weak in front of Zi Chen.

"What are you going to do now?"

Miao Kong asked, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The ten inner disciples are looking for you and want to harm you. Now, you have offended the Martial Ancestor's people."

"It doesn't matter."

Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "Different situations call for different actions. Since I can't get rid of the trouble, I will think of a way to solve it."

"What do you mean?" Miao Kong looked at Zi Chen.

"Let's solve the current problem first. These four disciples of the Martial Ancestor shouldn't go back."

Zi Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light, "If I'm lucky and they are greedy, I might be able to find them."

"You want to kill them?" Miao Kong was shocked, "There are four of them and they are all at Stage Ten True Qi."

"I can't kill four of them, but I can kill them one by one. That was how Wang Xiong died." After saying this, Zi Chen didn't wait for Miao Kong to speak. He turned around and walked into the forest.

"You …!" Miao Kong didn't know what to say.

As for Zhang Haotian, he closed his eyes and began to recover from his injuries, "I have been stuck at the peak of Stage Eight for so long. This time, I was seriously injured and swallowed a lot of elixirs. I finally feel the bottleneck loosening."

While Zhang Haotian was recovering from his injuries, he was also trying to break through.

If he reached Stage Nine, then he had full confidence that he could kill the four disciples who were chasing after him. He might even have the strength to challenge Ling Chen.

Zi Chen's luck was very good. Zheng Hua and the others were greedy enough and wanted to kill Zi Chen. After a few hours, they began to return with injuries. They were determined to kill the seriously injured Zi Chen.

"The four of us will split up and search, but don't go too far."

The four of them quickly arrived at the place where the previous battle took place. They then followed the blood trail and chased in a direction.

At the same time, the four of them spread out and began to search in a large area.

At this time, Zi Chen was returning from the same path, searching for the traces of the four people.

After an hour, Zi Chen, who was walking carefully in the forest, heard the sound of cursing.

"Damn it, I was actually tricked by a Stage Seven brat. This damn thing."
