Chapter 1996 - 1997: Entering the Mountain Range
The strong Divine Spirit Level Three was cursed, but didn't dare say anything, and could only blame everything on Lin Chen. Immediately, he gave a command and quickly chased after him!At this moment, Fan Li was panting heavily due to extreme anger, and as such, felt a pain in his chest that was hard to endure. Suddenly, he turned his head and saw Qing Ling looking at him coldly, and immediately flew into a rage:
"You nasty woman! What are you staring at? Do you believe I'll deal with you right here?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Ling was also provoked, but she was wise enough to know that if she resisted now, things might really go badly for her. After all, Fan Li's current state was not good; he was like a mad dog, biting anyone he encountered!
Qing Ling snorted coldly and then closed her eyes, refusing to look at him anymore. At that, Fan Li felt a bit better and immediately began to meditate, while the two Blood Refining Mercenary Group members, who were Divine Spirit Level Two, maintained high alertness, watching Qing Ling.
At this time, Lin Chen and the Divine Spirit Level Three man were in a chase. Perhaps because the man was very furious, his speed was even faster than before, and the distance between the two was gradually closing. However, as Lin Chen fled swiftly, he was still not caught in the cave.
Lin Chen did not dare to be careless, bursting forth with all his speed, and quickly saw a sliver of light—the exit of the cave was right ahead!
"I hope those two have gone elsewhere to fight; otherwise, it could get a bit tricky!"
Lin Chen secretly prayed, hoping that Wu Yunqi and Li Gang were no longer near the cave; otherwise, if a Divine Spirit Level Four expert were to make a move, the outcome would be hard to predict!
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, then instantly dashed out of the cave, and then saw two figures separating in midair not far away, their expressions turning somewhat unpleasant!
Because these two were no other than Wu Yunqi and Li Gang!
Lin Chen just glanced at them and then, without any hesitation, turned around and left, his speed pushed to the extreme!
In the open environment, he didn't hold back his speed any longer, flickers of lightning underfoot as he maximized the use of Thunder Roar Step. That speed was unmatched by average Divine Spirit Level Two or even Level Three individuals!
Lin Chen dared not hesitate at all because he needed to leave quickly before Wu Yunqi and Li Gang realized it. Otherwise, if Wu Yunqi attacked him, or even teamed up with Li Gang to attack him, Lin Chen's chances of escaping would be slim!
Earlier, Wu Yunqi and Li Gang were engaged in a fierce struggle, neither able to overpower the other. Just at this time, they saw a figure swiftly darting out from the cave, seemingly glancing over at them once, then quickly departing at a speed that surprised both of them.
Although Lin Chen's speed was fast, they still recognized him right away as the person who had been with Qing Ling in the cave, and it was presumed he possessed the Divine King's treasure!
Wu Yunqi furrowed his brow, intending to strike, but he hesitated because Li Gang was still glaring at him like a tiger. At this moment, another figure rushed out of the cave, one he wasn't unfamiliar with, as it was a Divine Spirit Level Three expert from his Blood Refining Mercenary Group!
After Lin Chen exited the cave, the Divine Spirit Level Three man immediately followed, and seeing Lin Chen's departure path, he was about to chase him but spotted Wu Yunqi and Li Gang in mid-air, and immediately said:
"Elder Wu! That kid injured the young master and is now escaping with the Divine King's treasure!"
"What!? Such a thing!?"
Wu Yunqi was greatly shocked because in his sensing, Lin Chen's aura was undeniably of a Level Eight Martial Artist. A Level Eight Martial Artist attacking and injuring Divine Spirit Level One Fan Li, then stealing the Divine King's treasure and fleeing?
Such news made Wu Yunqi momentarily stupefied, but he quickly regained his composure.
"You brat, injuring my young master and taking my treasure, yet you think you can just leave? Halt!"
An angry shout, accompanied by the mighty power of divine energy, reached Lin Chen's ears. Lin Chen immediately felt immense pressure, and at this life-and-death moment, his speed increased even further!
Seeing Lin Chen disregarded his words, Wu Yunqi snorted coldly and was ready to pursue, but just then, Li Gang suddenly flashed in front of him!
For Li Gang, the current situation was most unfavorable!
Because firstly, he came alone, and his strength was inferior to the well-prepared Blood Refining Mercenary Group. Furthermore, he was late and hadn't even seen what the treasure was, able only to restrain Wu Yunqi.
Unexpectedly, the Level Eight Martial Artist kid, whom he hadn't paid much attention to before, actually defeated Fan Li and subsequently took the treasure and fled!
Although this wasn't the outcome Li Gang wanted, it was still more acceptable than having everything taken by the Blood Refining Mercenary Group. Besides, the Black Mountain Mercenary Group should already be on their way, and presumably, Qing Ling also possessed a treasure. As long as he could hold on until reinforcements arrived, negotiating capital would emerge!
Thus, Li Gang made an almost instant decision to help Lin Chen escape!
Seeing Li Gang blocking him, Wu Yunqi's expression darkened, saying coldly:
"Li Gang, you dare obstruct me?"
"Heh heh! Why wouldn't I dare?"
Wu Yunqi was momentarily speechless at this response, then looked at Lin Chen, who had gotten further away, and said:
"Li Gang, that kid took the Divine King's treasure! Are you willing to let such a treasure fall into the hands of a kid?"
"Heh heh! No matter who takes it, it's better than letting it fall into the hands of your Blood Refining Mercenary Group!"
"Li Gang! Don't be too excessive!"
Continuously blocked by Li Gang, Wu Yunqi was also driven into a fury. They had originally come for the treasure, and with their strength, it was almost a sure thing. Yet, Lin Chen had suddenly changed the situation.
And Li Gang was unwilling to yield, clearly ready to fight him to the end. Wu Yunqi's face had completely darkened!
"Fine! Since you want to fight, I'll fight to the end with you! You! Quickly chase that kid! You must retrieve the treasure!"
"Yes, Elder Wu!"
The Divine Spirit Level Three man nodded, then fully unleashed his speed, chasing after Lin Chen's departure direction, while Wu Yunqi and Li Gang exchanged glances, their eyes once again sparking with battle intent, and in an instant, their momentum erupted, resuming their fight.
At this time, Lin Chen had already distanced himself from the cave, sensing the increasingly close pursuit behind him, he directly entered the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
