Chapter 87

The Roc screeched from above as it flapped its wings, creating gusts of wind. A pair of sharp eyes stared straight at Zi Chen.

As dusk approached, Zi Chen was discovered. His expression instantly changed.

"Damn it, you have good eyesight."

He cursed under his breath. His body turned into a flash of lightning as he sped up again. This time, he purposely went to a dense area to block the Roc's line of sight.

Zi Chen continuously flew through the forest. He was faster than a cunning rabbit and more agile than a spirit fox. It was as if this was his backyard.

In the blink of an eye, he had left the Roc far behind.

"What kind of fucking speed is this?" High up in the sky, on the back of the Roc, the three men in black were shocked.

The speed of this little guy, who was only at Stage Ten True Qi, was even faster than the Roc. His movements were as fast as lightning.

"Shua!"

Zi Chen passed through the dense forest and disappeared.

"Damn it, he disappeared again. Hurry up and chase." The men in black were furious as they watched Zi Chen disappear.

The dense forest was only so big. Furthermore, the Roc was high up in the sky. It quickly discovered Zi Chen's tracks.

"What is he doing?" After seeing Zi Chen again, one of the men in black asked.

"I can't see clearly. The Roc flew down a bit."

The Roc swooped down and their vision became clear. Only now did they see Zi Chen take out a porcelain bottle and pour a bottle of pills into it. Then, he threw the bottle away.

"He must be taking Qi Recovery Pills!" One of the men in black said with certainty.

"Is he using up a lot of Qi? Very good, he won't be able to hold on much longer."

In the sky, the Roc spread its wings and chased after him. It wanted to use its specialty to exhaust this human to death. Unfortunately, after chasing for two hours, the disciples of the Spiritual Martial Sect below did not show any signs of exhaustion. They were still alive and kicking. On the other hand, they had eaten a total of ten bottles of Qi Recovery Pills.

"Is this a fucking monster?"

The three of them couldn't help but curse. At such a high speed, not to mention a mere Zhenqi realm cultivator, even Xiantian realm cultivators like them would have to expend a lot of energy. However, the other party seemed to be completely fine, and was just desperately swallowing Energy Recovery Pills.

"Aren't you afraid you'll die from overeating?" The three of them were furious. They could clearly crush the other party to death with a single finger, yet they couldn't catch up to him.

"Peng birds, dive down and attack him." Someone commanded.

The Peng Bird let out a cry and swooped down. The branches and leaves in the forest rustled loudly. The Peng Bird spread out its wings like a divine weapon. Many trees were cut down by its wings. Then, two cold claws passed through the dense forest and grabbed at Zi Chen.

The wind whistled as Zi Chen took advantage of the situation to dodge. His body transformed into a bolt of lightning as he moved far away, dodging the Roc's claw.

"Brat, die!"

At this moment, a man in black jumped down from the Roc and dashed towards Zi Chen. His aura surged.

"Scram!" Zi Chen clenched his fists. Streaks of silver light flashed as he smashed them down with explosive sounds.

"Boom!"

The powerful blow caused an explosion. The man in black was in mid-air as he retreated at an extremely fast speed. On the other hand, Zi Chen also retreated dozens of meters. His body swayed slightly as he fled again.

"What a strong constitution." The man in black sighed. The more he thought about this brat, the more extraordinary he was.

The sky gradually darkened. Night fell.

The moon hung high in the sky and the stars shone brightly. This was a good day, indicating that the sun would shine brightly tomorrow. However, for Zi Chen who was running away, this kind of weather was fatal.

In the sky, the Roc cried again and again. With the help of the moonlight and the stars, it could actually detect Zi Chen. This was really amazing.

"I don't believe that I can't exhaust you to death."

Zi Chen also didn't believe in ghosts. After running for several hours, he had almost used up all of his backup Qi Recovery Pills. However, he still couldn't get rid of the Roc. This big guy had been running for days. Zi Chen didn't believe that it didn't sleep, didn't rest, didn't eat, and wasn't afraid of exhaustion.

For the whole night, Zi Chen was running away. Even he felt that he couldn't hold on any longer. The mental exhaustion was really too great.

Fortunately, in the latter half of the night, he finally got rid of the Roc and no longer heard its cries.

Zi Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He ran for another two hours before stopping. Now, not only did he use up all of his Qi Recovery Pills, his mental exhaustion was also great.

Leaning against a big tree, he rested for a full quarter of an hour. Only then did Zi Chen take out some dry food from his bag and eat and drink at the same time.

After eating, Zi Chen suddenly thought, "That's right, let's see if grandpa has prepared any Qi Recovery Pills for me."

At this time, there were two other bags in his big bag. One of them was the Xuan Martial Ancestor's gambling money. The other was the bag given by the Grand Elder, who said that everything was prepared.

Under the moonlight, Zi Chen opened this small bag. Inside the bag were a few pieces of clothing. The material was good. Next were several jade bottles. These jade bottles were sparkling and translucent. They emitted a faint light. Compared to the ordinary porcelain bottles used to store pills, they were a lot more advanced.

Opening the jade bottles, they were filled with Dans. These were even more advanced Dans. They emitted a rich fragrance. After becoming a core disciple for several months, Zi Chen also had a deep understanding of Dans.

If the pills in the porcelain bottle were only for True Qi cultivators and could be considered to be crudely made, then the pills in the jade bottle could only be used by Xiantian cultivators and could be considered to be of high quality. Moreover, their effects were extremely good.

Inside, there were no True Qi Dans. They were all Qi Recovery Pills. There were a total of four bottles. Each bottle contained a total of fifty Dans.

Moreover, these were not ordinary Qi Recovery Pills. One Qi Recovery Pill could restore Zi Chen's True Qi.

"So many!"

Roughly looking at the number of Dans, Zi Chen was shocked. These Dans were not ordinary Qi Recovery Pills. They were for Xiantian realm cultivators. They were definitely high quality goods. Moreover, they were very expensive. The Grand Elder gave him so many Dans at once. It was clear that he cared a lot.

Thinking of his grandfather, Zi Chen's expression inevitably became sad. When the fifth bottle was opened, a rich fragrance assailed his nose. There were only five Dans in this bottle. However, each of them was like a gem, shining brilliantly. When the bottle was opened, a rich Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth emerged from the bottle and rushed to the outside.

"These are Xiantian Dans." Zi Chen exclaimed. He was shocked.

In the last bottle, there were five Xiantian Dans.

A Xiantian Dans could allow a True Qi Realm cultivator to break through to the Xiantian realm. Previously, Xu Yan and the others were willing to risk their lives for Chen Feng in order to obtain a Xiantian Dans. However, at this moment, there were five Xiantian Dans in front of Zi Chen.

The better the Grand Elder treated Zi Chen, the more guilty Zi Chen felt. His heart was throbbing with pain. He did not complete the Grand Elder's task. Su Mengyao was already dead.

In addition to the jade bottles, there was also a bag of white jade-like stones. Zi Chen opened it and felt a rich Yuan Li aura.

"Primeval Stones!"

This small bag contained more than a hundred Primeval Stones. Among them, there were a hundred pieces of Primeval Stones and some low-grade Primeval Stones.

Zi Chen's eyes turned red. His heart was filled with endless guilt towards the Grand Elder.

Putting away the bag, Zi Chen rested for an hour in a daze. After that, he continued on his journey.

When the sky was bright, Zi Chen was already far away. He believed that he had already left the other party far behind.

However, before he could rejoice, he heard the cry of a Roc coming from the horizon.

"How is this possible!" Zi Chen's face changed dramatically. He hid in a dense tree and restrained his aura.

A moment later, a Roc flew over his head. Through the branches and leaves, Zi Chen saw a few black-clothed men sitting on the back of the Roc.

"They really caught up." Zi Chen was shocked. He had a bad feeling.

However, before he could leave, another Roc's cry sounded.

Then, a third, and a fourth.

Out of the five Rocs, four of them came today, looking for Zi Chen.

This time, Zi Chen felt that there was no way out.

He carefully walked through the forest, following behind the Rocs. He was afraid that they would discover him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not figure out why there were so many Rocs chasing after him.

"Hmph, you guys keep chasing. I'll follow behind you." Zi Chen sneered. He felt that his luck had come.

However, his good luck only lasted for an hour before disappearing. In a sparse forest, Zi Chen was found by a Roc that turned back.

"Ang!" The Roc cried, the sound waves surging, calling for its companions.

"He's there. Go after him."

"Quickly attack him. Don't let him escape."

The black-clothed men's voices came from above.

"Boy, let's see where you can run to this time."

"Go to hell, you cunning guy. You actually hid behind us."

The four Rocs turned back, flapping their wings, covering the sky and the sun. Gusts of wind raged, shaking the forest below, revealing the rapidly escaping Zi Chen.

Zi Chen was surrounded by the four Rocs. Then, the Rocs swooped down, their sharp claws emitting a cold light, fiercely clawing at Zi Chen.

At the same time, their sharp beaks were like divine weapons, shining with a cold metallic luster as they rushed towards Zi Chen with incomparable speed.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

With a tap of his foot, Zi Chen's body turned into lightning, constantly flapping his wings and dodging. Silver light surged around his body, and streaks of lightning appeared between his fingers.

Ten layers of lightning power naturally couldn't kill the Rocs. Zi Chen's every attack was aimed at the Rocs' eyes, causing them to panic. He took advantage of this to escape at lightning speed.

"Die!"

The black-clothed men jumped down from the Rocs' back and rushed towards Zi Chen.

Xiantian Battle Skills were displayed in the forest, and streaks of sword Qi wreaked havoc. Zi Chen was in danger, with the black-clothed men attacking him from the side and the Rocs harassing him from above.

Two hours later, Zi Chen's body was covered in blood, and his killing intent was soaring. Relying on his strong physique, he finally broke out of the encirclement.

Although they were heavily injured, one of the black-clothed men was on the verge of death. Zi Chen chased after him and attacked.

"This damned Rocs, I must get rid of them first."

After saying this, Zi Chen coughed out a mouthful of blood. His heart was beating violently, and waves of energy rushed into his body. Zi Chen's heavily injured body was also rapidly recovering.

If it wasn't for his special heart, Zi Chen would have died countless times. It was simply a miracle that a Xiantian Realm Level 65 True Qi could escape the pursuit of so many Xiantian Realm masters.

Zi Chen fled in the forest, and the Rocs in the sky repeatedly cried out, reporting his location to the black-clothed men. This miracle might not continue.
