C90 Blackrock City

At night, the forest exploded with the sounds of battle.

Meng Huo was truly surprised that they were able to catch up at this time. The two of them had no grudges in the past, but these past few days, there was no enmity between them. Just because the former thought that Han Chen was a potential threat, it came chasing after him. From this, it could be seen that Meng Huo's scheme was extremely vicious.

"Lingxi Finger Art!" Meng Huo shouted as a beam of white light shot out from between his right forefinger and middle finger.

Han Chen's face changed as he held the flexible sword horizontally in front of him. The light beam struck the sword's body, producing a crisp sound. The powerful impact passed through the sword blade into Han Chen's body, and he could not help but be forced to retreat.

"Hehe, you want to beat me even at this level?"

Meng Huo had a disdainful but proud smile on his face. He had the strength of a ninth level Refinement Stage cultivator. Amongst the young generation of Hidden Court City, he was ranked first. Furthermore, not to mention the fact that Han Chen was three levels away from him, the reason behind the injuries in his body had greatly reduced his fighting strength. If he wanted to defeat his opponent in this situation, it would be extremely difficult.

"Don't be happy too early." Han Chen's eyes became serious as he used the Great Void Dragon Steps to create an afterimage. At the same time, the sharp sword in his hand released a wave of clear and visible martial spirit energy and dozens of sword images merged together, blotting out the sky as they rushed towards Meng Huo.

"Hey!" Meng Huo's face revealed a surprised look, he did not expect Han Chen to be so tenacious, and coldly laughed: "Hehe, for a talent like you, killing you is truly a pity! "I'll let you die from my innate divine ability."

Immediately after, a dense white light condensed in Meng Huo's palm, which was extremely dazzling in the darkness, causing the surrounding air to become slightly restless. Immediately after, a layer of white light shield appeared in front of Meng Huo.

Sharp sword rays crashed into the light shield, causing light ripples to appear on the surface of the shield. It was like ripples on the surface of a water surface.

"Shield ability?" Han Chen's brows furrowed and he lost control of his voice as he muttered to himself.

"Hehe, this isn't an ordinary defensive skill. It's a shield technique with rebound effects."

"What?" Han Chen was startled, in the next moment, all of the sword beams that he had released earlier were reflected back at him. And it was even faster than before.

Han Chen immediately waved his sword, a burst of sword light flashed, and blocked the incoming attack. He then followed up with a slash, "Phantom Sword Slash into the Sky."

Swoosh! A black sword beam that was five or six meters long slashed at Meng Huo once again. But even with such a sharp strike, it only stopped at the opponent's shield for a moment, and then slashed back at Han Chen.

"Damn it." Han Chen could not help but curse as a red crescent moon flew out from his palm. It collided with the sword light that bounced back. Bang! A muffled sound was produced in the air, and chaotic energy was released in all directions.

"Hehe, it's useless. No matter what you do, it's all useless." Meng Huo said with a smile on his face.

Han Chen was secretly shocked, the opposing party's "Shield Attack" was indeed strange. Between attack and defense, they attacked a total of four times. If he continued like this, he was afraid that he would be killed by the other party.

Thinking about his current state, Han Chen couldn't help but have the urge to retreat. After all, they had offended the Liu Family now, so they would wait for the killer of the Liu Family to come. If he wasn't able to fight, Tian Tian really wouldn't be able to.

Seeing that Han Chen did not take action for a long time, a cold killing intent flashed past Meng Huo's eyes, while he released his innate ability, at the same time channeling the energy in his body.

"Stinking brat, this young lord doesn't want to drag this on any longer. Just die like this!" Meng Huo raised his right hand, and this time, two white beams of light shot out from his fingertips, one in front and one behind, respectively heading towards Han Chen's heart and head.

Han Chen did not dare to be negligent at all, his eyes narrowed slightly as a ball of red light jumped about in his palm. Accompanied by the scorching heat, a crescent moon that was burning with flames smashed straight onto the first beam of light.

Bang! After blocking the first attack, Han Chen secretly released the "devouring ability". Under the red light of the palm, an obscure strange black light rose. Han Chen raised his hand and grabbed the second beam of light.

"Hey, idiot." Meng Huo taunted, the other party had used Spirit Rhinoceros Finger Technique to pierce through his palm.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Meng Huo had expected. When the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros Finger came into contact with Han Chen's palm, it trembled violently.

Buzz! Buzz! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Under Meng Huo's astonished gaze, the white light beam exploded. However, the strong impact caused Han Chen's throat to become salty again. His already pale face became even more unsightly.

"Good boy, I have truly underestimated you." Meng Huo was shocked, but he quickly regained his senses.

Not to mention the sixth level of Qi Refining, even a seventh level Qi Refining martial cultivation would not have been able to withstand that finger's power. Han Chen blocked it with only his severely injured body. This caused Meng Huo to be even more unfazed, and in his heart, he was even more determined to eliminate Han Chen. Such a threat had to be snuffed out in the cradle.

Without waiting for Meng Huo to make a move, Han Chen suddenly took out a palm-sized copper mirror from his bosom. A ray of golden light shot out from the copper mirror, enveloping Meng Huo within.

The latter's expression changed slightly as an invisible pressure pressured his body from all directions and from all corners. His movements instantly became much slower.

Han Chen held onto the Haoyuan Mirror, his eyes filled with a cold killing intent. The sharp sword in his hand erupted with a bright red light as he shouted, "Meng Huo the little dog, go see the King of Hell!"

Meng Huo was truly shocked by Han Chen's power, he immediately activated the Back Shield Technique to its limit, and at the same time, used martial force to protect all the vital parts of his body.

Just as he was about to receive Han Chen's full power attack, Meng Huo's body suddenly relaxed as the pressure around him instantly disappeared without a trace. Before he could even react to what was happening, Han Chen flashed a few times consecutively and in the blink of an eye, he had already fled far away into the depths of the forest.

"Meng Huo, little dog, I will remember today's matter. This young master will come again another day to take your dog life. "

Looking at the pitch black forest, Meng Huo was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. His face was ashen, and flames of anger burned in his eyes. That damned little thief Han Chen. "

He originally thought that he was bound to get it today, but he didn't expect that he would fall for Han Chen's trick at the very last moment. Meng Huo held his breath in his heart, there was really no place for him to vent it.

"I didn't expect you to have a treasure on you." Meng Huo's eyes narrowed into slits, and his fists clenched so hard that creaking sounds could be heard. Hmph, let me see where you can run to. "

Night passed in exchange for daybreak.

Han Chen, who had been running the whole night, was already completely exhausted. His face was as pale as white paper, but his eyes were still bright.

"I really didn't expect that I would be chased like a stray dog." The corners of Han Chen's mouth curled into a bitter smile. It seemed like going back to the Mystical Peak was the only choice.

Actually, there was nothing bad about going back to the Mystical Peak, there were still a few friends. Xin Lan, Dai Wei, Wu Jun, Xiao Wen, the little monkey and Shen Yu. When he thought about Shen Yu, Han Chen's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of gentleness.

"I'll leave as soon as my injuries recover."

Han Chen heaved a sigh of relief, raised his head, and looked at the tall city wall. The words "Black Stone City" were clearly carved on it.

Blackrock City was a neighboring city of the Hidden Court City. It was famous for producing blackstone. It was a completely black stone that was even harder than granite. Whether it is used for large-scale buildings or for the production of weapons and materials. Blackstone was a good choice. Relying on this blackstone vein, this city was nourished to the point of bustling with life and vitality.

However, compared to the Hidden Court City, the size of Blackrock City was much smaller. Therefore, the structure of this city was relatively simple. There weren't that many clans or powers.

But according to Han Chen's knowledge, Blackrock City had a mysterious person overseeing it. Who was that person? Not many people know about it. Some people said he was the royal family of the Grand Seal Empire. Some people also said that he was an expert at concealment. However, he had never shown himself before.

It was precisely because of that figure that the foreign clans did not dare to cause trouble in the city. He also didn't dare to snatch the blackstone mine's resources and take them for himself.

Therefore, recovering from his injuries in Blackrock City could be said to be Han Chen's best choice. Although the Liu Family was unreasonable, they would not dare to send people to the Blackrock City to behave atrociously.

After entering Black Rock City, Han Chen walked along the crowded streets and his mood relaxed a little.

Since yesterday, his mood had been extremely low. Adding on the difficult battle he had with Meng Huo, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, his heart was still rather heavy.

Wandering around the streets, Han Chen finally found a restaurant. He first ordered some dishes and wine, intending to fill his stomach. I'm going to see a quiet room and get a good rest.

As it was almost noon, the restaurant had a lot of customers. Han Chen sat alone in a secluded corner as he quietly ate. Halfway through the meal, a middle-aged figure suddenly walked to his side of the table.

"Little brother, is there anyone sitting here?"

Han Chen was shocked, he stopped eating. When he looked up, he saw an ordinary face. Now, walking into the crowd, he would soon forget about it.

The middle aged man looked at Han Chen, his face revealing a gentle smile. After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Han Chen's words, and sat opposite him with his sleeves fluttering.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared out of nowhere, causing Han Chen to be alarmed. In his memories, there had never been a person like him before. Was it an assassin sent by the Liu Family?

Han Chen slowly touched the Haoyuan Mirror in his arms, ready to throw caution to the wind at any moment.

"Hehe, little brother, don't be nervous. I won't hurt you. "I'll take you to a place later." The middle-aged man's smile remained warm.

Han Chen was startled at first, then said with a heavy voice, "Who are you? Why did you come to look for me? If you don't make it clear, I won't go with you. "

"You will come with me, unless you don't want to know about your father Han Langyu."
