C29 Chance Escape

Under the threat of the masked leader, Mo Wuhui and Mei Lianhua did not dare to run in the direction of the Hall of Martial Arts. Left with no other option, they ran towards the Hundred Beast Mountain!

"You, go! Leave now!" Xiang Shaoyun bellowed at Lu Xiaoqing.

"No, I'm not leaving! We promised to look after each other; I'll look after you till the end." Lu Xiaoqing's voice was quite resounding that day.

Xiang Shaoyun felt Lu Xiaoqing's determination, and his heart warmed. Yet, her decision might lead her to death.

"Hehe, you're quite loyal! How about staying together with us?" The leader of the group gave tyrannical laughter and moved towards Lu Xiaoqing.

"Touch her, and then you'll have to face the wrath of the eleventh elder," said Xiang Shaoyun as he blocked the leader's offense.

"Eleventh elder?" Anyone could feel the fear in his voice.

"If your guesses are correct, you should be people of Wu Family! If I'm right, the Wu family must have sent you. They want to deal with me, so leave her alone. You shouldn't make things difficult for yourselves and for her. Hall of Martial Arts treats all its students equally, but the same can't be said about the eleventh elder," Xiang Shaoyun explained.

When the masked leader heard Xiang Shaoyun's words, his eyes shrank. He was stunned because Xiang Shaoyun had guessed their motives so quickly.

"Bitch, fuck off! You'll only drag me down!" Xiang Shaoyun yelled at Lu Xiaoqing.

Lu Xiaoqing's body trembled, her beautiful eyes rippled with disbelief as she looked at Xiang Shaoyun. "Y-you... how can you say that?"

"Humph, I, Xiang Shaoyun, am a once-in-a-century genius. Do you think you are worthy of me? You think if you help me here, I'll like you? Think again, little girl. I'm only interested in sexy women like Mei Lianhua!" Xiang Shaoyun coldly snorted. (E/N:- Ehh. Being pretty forward, aren't we? On that matter, what's your preference. Comment! Mine is, just like monkey brain CDawgVA, MILFS!!)

Before Xiang Shaoyun could even finish speaking, Lu Xiaoqing's eyes were already filled with pearls of tears.

"I-I hate yo-you!" Lu Xiaoqing stuttered as he rushed out of the encirclement and ran far away with her face covered.

"I'm sorry. I hope you can understand." Xiang Shaoyun sighed in his heart as he looked at the beautiful figure that was getting further and further away from him.

"Alright, brat. You can stop with this bogus drama. Follow us obediently!" The masked leader could see through Xiang Shaoyun's intentions.

"You want to take revenge for Wu Mingliang, but you didn't plan it out well. I am the junior brother of the Nineteenth Elder Zi Changhe, and if you do anything to me, my senior brother will not let you off. Everyone knows the importance of a five star talent. Not only Ze Changhe, but you will infuriate every elder that wanted to take me under their wing," Xiang Shaoyun tried to threaten them.

"Don't spout nonsense. It won't help. Even if the Hall Master of Hall of Martial Arts comes here, you will come with us!" said the leader. Then, he indicated for his people to go up and tie Xiang Shaoyun up.

Xiang Shaoyun suddenly turned towards a direction and shouted in surprise, "Senior Brother Zi, I'm over here!"

Those Masked Man A thought that Zi Changhe had come, and all of them looked towards the direction where Xiang Shaoyun was looking, fearing for their life.

"Die!" Xiang Shaoyun screamed in anger and rushed towards the masked leader, a fist striking him.

Pow!

When his fist landed on the leader's body, the leader had already regained his senses and grabbed Xiang Shaoyun's fist.

"You might fool others with this trick, but it won't work on me!" The masked leader said, quite smug for nothing.

"Is that so?" Xiang Shaoyun asked with a cunning smile. Before the leader could understand, he saw a single measly finger coming towards him.

Astral Asunder!

A beam of pure light burst out from Xiang Shaoyun's finger.

This attack, which contained his full power, was targeting the lower abdomen of his opponent.

The masked leader never thought that Xiang Shaoyun, a weakling with Martial Entering Stage cultivation, would be able to extend his energy outside of his body.

Bang!

Ah!

Although the masked leader was an Astral Force cultivator, he was not a high-level one. At most, he was a second-grade Astral Force cultivator.

At this time, the others were stunned as they couldn't understand why their leader would suddenly get injured. Was it... Zi Changhe's doing?

Run!

Getting his straw in the ocean, Xiang Shaoyun used this opportunity to run away at full speed.

"Boss, are you okay?" The group gathered around their boss and asked.

"You fools! Chase him!" The masked leader covered his wound as he said with difficulty.

"Alright, alright. We'll chase him!" The group echoed and chased after Xiang Shaoyun.

The masked leader spat out blood in anger, "Stupid! Leave one to treat me!"

True to the foolish subordinate troupe, they had already left him behind.

"Damn it, they're chasing so fast!" Xiang Shaoyun could hear the rustling and shouts and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

He had the combat strength of a grade nine Martial Entering Stage Cultivator. Moreover, his speed was already at the peak of the Martial Entering Stage. Yet, it wasn't enough.

Amongst the people chasing him, two to three people were in the first grade of the Astral Force Stage. So, the opponents were naturally faster than him.

Overlord's Nine Nether Steps!

It wasn't time for any further hesitation, so Xiang Shaoyun brought out his top-tier movement skill. It was a skill that he had painfully practiced for... three days.

The stars in his body flickered, and streams of pure energy traveled to his feet. It, all of a sudden, made him sprint like a madman.

Most importantly, if one observed the footwork, they would discover that it was actually quite mysterious. Every step Xiang Shaoyun took carried some kind of a charm. Each step he took always landed on a flat surface. Never on twigs, never on a stone, not even on slightly uneven ground. He looked as light as a swallow while his speed kept on increasing.

The masked men who were about to catch up to Xiang Shaoyun realized that Xiang Shaoyun's speed had suddenly increased. They had to use all their strength in just running to catch up to him.

"Don't run! Stop this instant and save yourself from a horrible death!" exclaimed one of the Masked Man A.

One of them even took out a bow and began shooting arrows at him.

Meanwhile, in this chaotic chase, no one noticed the arrival of a ghost-like presence. Before the arrow could even leave the bow, the shooter himself disappeared.

Bang!

As if missing a step, the shooter suddenly dropped headfirst. His head pooped open like a watermelon.

The ghost-like entity didn't stop there. Taking advantage of the lack of reaction due to their shock, he began targeting the group members one by one. His figure flickered lightning, no one could see him, and soon, no one from the group chasing after Xiang Shaoyun could be seen.

The takedown was so swift that the masked men couldn't even scream.

Xiang Shaoyun, still unaware of the gruesome takedown, was running with all his might. "Wu Mingliang, Wu Family, you will all pay the price for this!"

Xiang Shaoyun's strength had been pushed to the extreme. Under this duress, the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps had revealed its extraordinary side. It increased Xiang Shaoyun's speed, and now he was as agile as a beginner Astral Force cultivator.

Unknowingly, Xiang Shaoyun had run away far from the scene, all the while being unaware of the takedown.
