Chapter 380: 380

Zhang Xian’s face wore a smile as he watched Jiao Long rush towards him.

Jiao Long’s smile seemed to grow even brighter, as though victory were already within his reach, much like the radiant sunshine of June.

"Ha..."

Zhang Xian suddenly let out a bellow, and the Spiritual Energy that had been surging within him instantly flowed to his hands. He crossed them over his chest, blocking Jiao Long’s punch.

"Bang..."

A tremendous force emerged, causing Zhang Xian’s hands to feel numb. He was flung backward uncontrollably.

"Huh? What’s happening?"

Jiao Long wasn’t having a good time either, feeling as though his right hand had lost all sensation.

However, his instincts told him that Zhang Xian had suffered more. What angered Jiao Long was that the little brat Zhang Xian had dared to obstruct him. Didn’t he fear Cao Ge would try to kill him?

"Die..."

Zhang Xian was tossed straight toward the right side of Cao Ge.

Just at the moment he touched the ground, a wave of Spiritual Energy suddenly lashed out, directly beheading Cao Ge and tossing his head more than a meter away.

Earlier on, he hadn’t been able to strike because Elder Sister Zhou had been blocking his way. But the moment he was thrown backward provided an opportunity for him to land in a position suitable to kill Cao Ge. Without any hesitation, he took the shot.

"You..."

Cao Ge didn’t know how he had been killed. After feeling the world spin dizzyingly, he lost consciousness.

"Ah..."

In Elder Sister Zhou’s screams, Cao Ge’s body lay on the ground. Cao Ge, the young master of the Cao Family in Yenjing, had fallen in Yuntai Town. From that day onward, bloodshed and terror were unleashed.

But of course, all these events took place in the future. For now, let’s not dwell on it.

"Kill them..."

Jun Wuhen and Qiu Yun saw that Zhang Xian had killed Cao Ge. They seized the advantage and renewed their fierce attack with full battle spirit.

"Damn..." Fu Yunfeng’s mouth twitched unnaturally a few times before he hastily retreated.

The current situation was unclear. Though he very much wanted to kill Zhang Xian, he wouldn’t stake his life on it. The battle had just begun, and already four people on their side had died. What kind of game was this?

"You..." Seeing Fu Yunfeng flee, Jiao Long turned around and ran as well.

After that, Wu Que also retreated, "Xie Wuming, I’ve fulfilled my promise. I’m powerless this time, and from now on, I won’t owe you anything."

"You..."

Seeing that he was now the only one left since all the strong fighters had fled, Xie Wuming quickly ran after them, "Hey, wait for me..."

"Haha..."

Zhang Xian quickly stepped forward and slapped Xie Wuming to the ground. "Brother Xie, they are all Innate experts, but you are nothing. Do you really think you can catch up with them?"

"You..."

Xie Wuming was knocked to the ground by a slap and his face turned terrifyingly gloomy.

Of course, what he felt now was more fear than anger. Those guys had fled like flying birds, he was just an ordinary man, how could he possibly outrun them?

Damn it, those guys weren’t upstanding at all. How could they abandon him alone and flee?

"What’s wrong? Brother Xie."

Zhang Xian laughed, "Weren’t you acting pretty cocky earlier?"

Xie Wuming turned his head, looking at Zhang Xian, "Since I’ve fallen into your hands, I have nothing left to say. If you want to kill or torture me, do as you please."

"Of course, you must die."

Zhang Xian gave a smile, and with a wave of his hand, cut off Xie Wuming’s head.

Then, he launched a flame, completely incinerating Xie Wuming’s body. The bodies of Cao Ge and the other three Post-Heaven experts also turned to ashes under his fire.

"You...you guys..." Elder Sister Zhou turned pale, trembling nonstop.

Zhang Xian laughed, "Elder Sister Zhou, I’m sorry to have troubled you and frightened you."

Elder Sister Zhou kept shaking her head as she looked at Zhang Xian.

At first glance, Zhang Xian appeared handsome and cheerful, and she thought so as well. But the scene she had just witnessed had been a shock.

The seemingly cheerful young man turned out to be a ruthless killer, completely at odds with his outward appearance. The scene from earlier, she had seen it all too clearly.

"Slap, Slap..."

Suddenly, the sound of slapping was heard.

Zhang Xian turned his head only to see Cold Face. His face changed drastically. How had these people managed to find this place?

The faces of Jun Wuhen and Qiu Yun also turned ugly upon seeing Cold Face.

However, he was perplexed. With three of them here, how dare Cold Face show up? Was he planning on taking them all on?

"Kill..."

Zhang Xian moved swiftly toward Cold Face.

"Overestimating your own abilities." Cold Face didn’t dodge or evade; instead, he hurled a punch.

Their fists collided in mid-air, creating a muffled explosive sound. The Spiritual Energy and inner strength caused a shallow circular crater on the ground.

"Such strong inner strength."

A sense of alarm flashed in Zhang Xian’s heart. After stabilizing himself, he quickly scooped up Elder Sister Zhou and ran toward the exit, "Brother Jun, Brother Qiu, get out of here quick."

Jun Wuhen and Qiu Yun knew the extent of Zhang Xian’s strength after watching the previous clash.

With one fist, Cold Face remained unflagged, while Zhang Xian was blasted several meters away, the disparity between them was certainly not small.

After a fierce fight, they had expended too much energy. Even with only fifty percent of their strength left, facing Cold Face, even three against one, they might not come out victorious. Otherwise, why would Cold Face show up? Perhaps he had been here all along, only not revealing himself because they were all present. Once Jiao Long and his companions arrived and they were engaged in a tough battle, Cold Face struck.

"Trying to flee?"

Cold Face’s right foot jabbed the ground and like a bullet, he darted towards Zhang Xian at a terrifying speed.

"Bloody hell, this guy really is ferocious."

Zhang Xian was struggling to carry a person, but he wasn’t afraid of Cold Face and in response, he chopped out several strands of spiritual energy.

"Hmm? What is this? This guy has hidden tricks up his sleeve." Cold Face felt a gust of wind rushing towards him and his facial expression slightly changed as he quickly dodged before continuing to pursue Zhang Xian.

He had been here for a while but hadn’t found an opportunity to strike as Zhang Xian, Jun Wuhen, and Qiu Yun were never alone.

Then, Jiao Long and his companions arrived, giving him hope.

In their peak condition, he wasn’t completely confident about facing the three of them. But after a grueling battle, the drain on their internal energy and physical strength would inherently affect their abilities.

As he had watched the previous fight, he had seen Zhang Xian use this trick. He was surprisingly a bit shocked encountering it himself now.

An Innate expert able to project internal energy outward?

"Still chasing?"

Zhang Xian saw that Cold Face had no intention of giving up, causing him to be somewhat irritated, and in retaliation, he chopped out another strand of spiritual energy.

As Cold Face was in hot pursuit, about to catch up to Zhang Xian, when he saw another gust of wind approaching, he swiftly dodged. A short dodge, further opened up the distance between them, nearly erupting his anger.

What kind of bizarre technique does this guy know?

"Zh...Zhang Xian, what... what are you doing? Where are you taking me?" Elder Sister Zhou finally regained her senses and asked with a surprised look on her face.

Zhang Xian said, "Elder Sister Zhou, someone wants to assassinate me and I don’t feel comfortable leaving you behind. Please bear with me for a while. Once I can escape, I’ll take you back, don’t worry."

Elder Sister Zhou glanced at Zhang Xian and her pretty face flushed slightly.

She was currently being held sideways in Zhang Xian’s arms, with the left side of her chest gripped tightly in his hand. As he ran, his hand would tight and relax, making her feel uncomfortable.

Of course, she knew what the situation was right now, so she gritted her teeth, didn’t say anything, and let Zhang Xian hold her.

"Die..."

Cold Face suddenly increased his speed, appeared behind Zhang Xian, and blasted a punch.

"Get lost..."

Zhang Xian waited until the perfect moment and then harshly slashed out a blade of spiritual energy.

"Little rascal, you..."

Cold Face had thought that Zhang Xian wouldn’t be able to respond to the attack from behind, therefore he struck abruptly, hoping to seize the opportunity to capture Zhang Xian, who had not turned around during the chase, it was the perfect moment to strike.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xian suddenly used an unusual technique at such a critical moment. At such a close distance, no matter how fast he was, Cold Face couldn’t dodge it and was cut fair and square. A moment ago, he didn’t know what had hit him, but it managed to leave a gash on his waist.

"Hehe, if you want to chase me then you need to be more skilled."

Zhang Xian saw Cold Face no longer chasing, with a smirk he quickly disappeared into the forest with Elder Sister Zhou on his arm.

Knowing that his own speed was not as fast as Cold Face, especially now that he was carrying someone, he dared not let his guard down. In the sweep of his spiritual sense, every action of Cold Face was in his grasp.

Hence, when Cold Face suddenly attacked, he discerned it clearly, and at the best moment, he spewed out a strand of spiritual energy, not only forced Cold Face to retreat but also made him sustain an injury.

"This chap really has quite a few tricks."

Jun Wuhen and Qiu Yun had been observing the rear, they were just about to lend a hand when they saw Zhang Xian unexpectedly fend off Cold Face using that strange technique and even inflicted injury on him.

"Zhang Xian, where are you planning to go?" Jun Wuhen suddenly stopped.

When he noticed that Zhang Xian was carrying Elder Sister Zhou, with his hand in an inappropriate place, he chuckled and said, "No wonder you are running so hard, you are really enjoying the benefits, aren’t you?"

Zhang Xian looked puzzled and asked, "What benefits?"

Qiu Yun burst out laughing, "You little rascal, don’t even know when you are lucky."

Seeing the eyes of Qiu Yun and Jun Wuhen on her chest, and hearing their quite vulgar laugh, Elder Sister Zhou quickly jumped off from Zhang Xian with her face completely red.

This man is so outrageous, where else to grab if not her chest. During the run, he had even dared to squeeze it repeatedly.

"Uh..."

Only then Zhang Xian realized what he did and quickly apologized, "Uh, Elder Sister Zhou, I didn’t do it intentionally, I didn’t think so much due to the tense situation earlier, I just grabbed you and ran. You... don’t be angry."

Elder Sister Zhou glanced at Zhang Xian and asked, "Are you going to take me back now? I still have things to do!"

"I am going to take you back now." Zhang Xian touched his head and laughed.

He could joke around with the women around him, but not with Elder Sister Zhou as they were not too familiar with each other. If he were to joke around with Elder Sister Zhou like he did with his own women, he would probably get indifferent looks.

Jun Wuhen teased, "Zhang Xian, should we go with you?"

Zhang Xian said, "Isn’t that obvious? If Cold Face attacks again, I might not be able to run away. That guy is very powerful."

"Then let’s go!"

Qiu Yun said, "But after sending little Zhou back, where should we three go?"

"We’ll hide for a while longer, until I’ve made the Ascension pill."

The corner of Zhang Xian’s mouth turned upward, revealing a cold smile. "Once the Ascension pill is made, I will kill them one by one."
