Chapter 98 – Escape (Next)

“You little bastard! How dare you steal my sect’s most precious treasure!”

Xiao Zaihe rose up from the ground in a somewhat wretched manner, his mouth letting out a sonorous roar of rage before he resumed chasing after Yun Che, and in the blink of an eye, he closed the distance between them once again. Yun Che turned his head sideways, and with a slight force in his hand, he threw the second Shocking Heavenly Thunderbolt to the rear, and this time, he no longer smashed it into Xiao Zaihe’s face, but also threw it on the ground in front of him.

Looking at the Shocking Heavenly Thunder that fell in front of him, Xiao Jaehyuk was truly shocked and panicked as he braked his footsteps and fell backward in a flying lunge.

Boom ！！！！

A scorching wave of air came from the rear, impacting Yun Che, who stumbled and nearly fell. The distance between the two of them was also temporarily pulled apart, but it was only temporarily pulled apart, and a single Shocking Heavenly Thunder could only buy him a few breaths of time.

The third Shocking Heavenly Thunder was grasped in his hand, he had to rush into the middle of the urban area as fast as he could, and only by entering the urban area would he have the possibility of escaping.

“You bastard! There are only six Shocking Heavenly Thunderbolts in total, when you run out of Shocking Heavenly Thunderbolts, I’ll see where you can still escape to!” Xiao Jaehyuk was in hot pursuit behind him, but had gritted his teeth in annoyance. The Shocking Heavenly Thunder was a thermal weapon made by the Weapon Sect of the Xiao Sect’s Head Sect, it was extremely powerful, even with his cultivation at the Spirit Xuan Realm, taking a hit head-on would be either death or injury. These Heavenly Thunderbolts were life-preserving weapons that only the elder generation of the Xiao Sect was worthy of possessing, and now, not only had they arrived in Yun Che’s hands, they had also been used by him so recklessly on his own body. It was also good that the other party’s Xuan Power was very low, and he could avoid the Heaven Shattering Thunder that he had smashed out with relative ease, or else he might have to be accountable here today.

What Xiao Zaihe shouted was also what Yun Che was worried about. It was true that there were only six Heaven Shaking Thunderbolts, and these six, when added together, could only buy him less than two minutes, and this amount of time was simply not enough for him to rush into the city.

Some other methods must be thought of.

Yun Che held the Heavenly Lightning in his hand as his mind raced, his brows tightening. The chases he had suffered were simply too many, too many, countless ones that were a hundred times more dangerous than this one, most of which he had escaped with the poisonous power of the Heavenly Poison Bead, but if the poisonous power of the Heavenly Poison Bead had disappeared today, if the Astral Concealment Grass had been used up, and if a hard fight was even more impossible, then the only thing that could be borrowed was ……

Yun Che took a small breath and began to quickly comb through those medicinal herbs that he had gotten from the Xiao Sect’s treasure vault, looking for those poisonous things that could be formulated to take effect quickly.

And at that moment, in his line of sight, an ethereal and elegant young girl figure suddenly appeared, the young girl was dressed in snow, and although she was in the distance, she gave people a clear sense of a welcoming nobility and elegance.

Although it was too far away to see the young girl’s face, Yun Che’s heart still instantly appeared her name …… because in this Crescent City, there was only one girl who had given him such a feeling.

It was Lan Xueruo! How could she be here? This was clearly a place that one would only pass through when traveling to the Xiao Sect, could it be that ……

At this time, Yun Che could no longer think too much and quickly removed the disguise on his face, while at the same time, a Shocking Heavenly Thunderbolt slammed into the back.

With a loud “boom”, Xiao Zaihe’s body that had avoided it in time was forced dozens of steps away by the aftermath of the explosion. Yun Che charged forward while shouting up at the young girl who was getting closer and closer, “Senior Sister Xue Ruo!”

The reason why Lan Xueruo was here was because she wanted to go to the Xiao Sect to confirm if Yun Che was there. The earth-shattering explosions caused her footsteps to pause for a moment, and when she raised her head, she caught a glimpse of Yun Che, who was running furiously.

“Yun Che?” Lan Xueruo let out a low murmur, followed by a flash of surprise in her eyes, no matter what, he was still alive, and this was the result that she most wanted to see when she came to the Xiao Sect today. But immediately, she saw Xiao Zaihe, who was chasing after her from the rear.

“Little bastard! I’ll see where you run to! Later on, let’s see if I don’t break your legs and scrap your limbs!” Although Xiao Zaihe had not been injured by the Shocking Heavenly Lightning, the three consecutive Shocking Heavenly Lightning had caused him to be puffed up and covered in dust, and his roar was clearly tinged with annoyance.

Lan Xueruo instantly understood what had happened, her eyebrows twisted, and without much time to think, she called out sharply, “Senior Brother Yun, quickly come to my side!!!”

As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand, and above the back of her hand, a snow-white mark suddenly flashed out, “Little Snow, come out!”

As she shouted in a low voice, the seal on the back of her hand shone brightly, and along with a long, sharp cry that seemed to come from the heavens, a giant snow eagle appeared in front of her amidst the white light.

“Contracted spirit beast!?” Looking at the giant white eagle that suddenly appeared on Lan Xueruo’s side, Yun Che’s heart was astonished and at the same time, he was also pleasantly surprised, and with a clench of his teeth, he let his footsteps accelerate a few points more and stretched out his hand in Lan Xueruo’s direction.

Blue Xue Ruo jumped onto the back of the Giant Snow Eagle, her slender snowy hands grabbed Yun Che’s outstretched palm and pulled him onto the back of the snow eagle, the Giant Snow Eagle’s wings spread out, and in a long chirp it rose up into the air, and rushed straight into the clouds like a bolt of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it had already been transformed into a black dot in the distant sky.

A life-threatening crisis was resolved in a way he never expected. The speed of the snow eagle’s flight was extremely fast, the sound of the wind whistling in his ears, and the cold wind that poured into his chest caused him to suffocate for a long time, and it was not until the snow eagle flew smoothly enough that he finally adapted to the situation, let out a long breath, and opened his eyes to see that Lan Xue Ruo was sitting sideways in front of him, and was smiling but not laughing as she looked at him.

It was only then that Yun Che remembered that he was still wearing that very unflattering robe on his body, but without changing his face, he smiled and said, “Senior sister, is it true that you suddenly found out that no matter how crude the clothes are, wearing them on my body is particularly flavorful?”

Lan Xue Ruo was stunned, and then she snorted and laughed, her smile as delicate as a hundred flowers blooming, “In the end, it’s Senior Sister Yun, just now he almost even lost his life, and now he actually still doesn’t forget to praise himself in a serious manner.”

“Yes, just now, I did almost even lose my life.” Yun Che slightly stroked his forehead, more or less palpitating, if it wasn’t for Lan Xueruo’s sudden appearance, the possibility of him escaping was indeed very low. This was because the area in front of Xiao Zong was simply too empty, so empty that it gave him a feeling of wanting to cry when he escaped just now.

“Then again, senior sister, why did you come to this place? You have something to go to the Xiao Sect?” Yun Che asked.

“Uh-huh.” Lan Xueruo gently nodded her head, and her gem-like eyes sized up Yun Che several times, and after confirming that he hadn’t been traumatized by anything at all, the expression on her face completely relaxed, and her eyes became more and more gentle, “You suddenly disappeared three days ago, and Yuanba and I searched all over the city to look for you and couldn’t find you. Then it occurred to me that you might have been quietly taken away by Xiao Zong, so I came.”

Yun Che’s entire body stiffened for a moment, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, and for a moment, he was actually speechless. Only after a while did he use as calm a voice as possible to say, “The Xiao Sect Sub-Sect is the largest sect in this Crescent City, and for you to come alone as a girl, didn’t you think about how dangerous it would be?…… Me and you, we’ve only known each other for a few days, so why are you being so nice to me? ”

Lan Xueruo guffawed and softly said, “I said ah, because, I am your senior sister.”

Yun Che: “……”

Earlier, when Lan Xueruo promised that she would have her family safely send him to Cangfeng Imperial City within ten days to avoid the scourge of the Xiao Clan, he had always been suspicious. Having experienced too many things, he would not believe at all that a person would be so kind to someone he was not familiar with for no reason, and even risk a great deal of his life perhaps for it. Now, Lan Xueruo had come to the Xiao Sect alone to look for him, and had rescued him from danger …… This made the only possibility Yun Che could think of in his heart tend to be more and more certain.

The Xue Ruo senior sister in front of him …… was definitely in love with him at first sight! Goodbye infatuation!

Other than this reason, he completely couldn’t think of any other reason that could make a girl do this to a man who had no family, no wealth, no power, no strength, and was still a casual acquaintance.

“Senior Brother Yun, did you really get taken captive to the Xiao Sect in the past few days? Then how did you escape?” Glancing at Yun Che’s clothes, Lan Xueruo’s beautiful eyes flooded with laughter, “It couldn’t be …… that you wore the clothes of a house servant and then sneaked out after hiding it from people’s ears, right?”

“This …… is sort of it. But I wasn’t taken captive by Xiao Zong, I went in on my own.” Yun Che smiled smugly, but didn’t explain more, instead, he turned his words around and said, “Senior sister, you actually have a contracted Xuan Beast? And it seems like it’s still a very high level Xuan Beast.”

Seeing that Yun Che clearly didn’t want to mention what had happened in the Xiao Sect in the past few days, Lan Xueruo didn’t pursue the matter any further and followed his words, “It’s called Little Snow, it’s a True Xuan Beast Giant Snow Eagle, it was cultivated by my master, and after it had grown up, he let it become my contracted Xuan Beast. Although Little Snow looks big and bulky, its ability to harness the air is very powerful, and it flies very, very fast……. By the way, Senior Brother Yun, where do you want to go next?”

Yun Che went down in silence, then slowly said, “I gave a ‘great gift’ to the Xiao Sect, and they must be searching for me all over the city right now, so the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion, and even the entire Crescent Moon City, can’t go back. Next, I don’t know where to go …… Or, outside of Crescent City, anywhere is fine ……”

Right at this moment, Yun Che suddenly felt a strange sound of wind in his ears, and his overly sharp intuition almost subconsciously turned his head back, and with a glance, he saw that, a thousand meters away from his rear, a black dot was approaching at great speed.

“What is that!”

From the time Yun Che realized it to the time he uttered his voice, it was only a few breaths of time, and within that extremely short period of time, the black dot in his line of sight had already turned into a blurry black shadow, which could be seen by how terrifying its speed was. Lan Xueruo quickly turned back, her eyes condensed, and then she let out a cry of alarm, “It’s the Storm Fiery Eagle, the highest-grade Xuan Beast that the Xiao Sect breeds!”

“Sh~t!” Yun Che frowned furiously.

“How could they even send out a Storm Spirited Eagle in order to chase you …… and actually be so fast!” A hint of a hammy expression also appeared on Lan Xueruo’s snowy face, because she was well aware that the Storm Spirited Eagle’s flying speed was completely no less than her Giant Snow Eagle, and it even far surpassed it in terms of endurance.

However, if she knew what Yun Che had done in the Xiao Sect, she wouldn’t have asked this question.

“Little Snow, hurry up!!!”

With a delicate cry from her, the Giant Snow Eagle underneath her flapped its wings fiercely, suddenly accelerating in speed, sweeping up a long white shadow that shot straight to the north, while the black shadow behind it wasn’t slowing down in the slightest, dangling tightly at its rear.
