Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 464: Chapter 232: Cannot Escape

But Liu Hong had taken advantage of the geographical advantage, using the waterfall to enhance the power of his Rain Covering Realm and barely resist the Blood Evil Realm.

Ghostly Wound now felt a faint twinge of regret. ’If I hadn’t been so arrogant and just used my Blood Evil Realm to take down Liu Hong from the start, would there have been this much trouble?’

If he had to blame someone, it could only be himself for trying to show off in front of the younger generation.

’Forget it. It doesn’t matter if that bastard escapes. In any case, I’ve already harvested a few young geniuses to make into Treasure Medicine!’

Ghostly Wound sighed to himself, deciding to give up on chasing Liu Hong.

However, when he turned his head, he saw Wang Xiongba staring blankly and foolishly at Wang Xiongying’s corpse in the distance.

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang looked flustered and terrified, seemingly resigned to their fate.

As for Chen Cheng, he was simply staring into space, looking like he’d been scared stiff.

’Normally, young geniuses are quite proud. Even when facing a Martial Dao expert far beyond their level, they should still show some backbone!’

’But the way these youths were acting was a far cry from a typical genius. They seemed far too cowardly.’

’To refine Treasure Medicine, one needs true geniuses! This current harvest is still a little meager!’

In a flash, Ghostly Wound changed his mind again and decided to capture Liu Hong after all.

’Liu Hong is a Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Martial Artist, after all. The results of using him for Alchemy might not be as good as Wang Xiongba and those two girls, but he should be better than this little brat who’s scared out of his wits!’

"Brat, where do you think you’re going?"

Ghostly Wound let out a sharp cry. His Primordial Gang True Force surged as he moved, streaking toward Liu Hong like a shadow.

Propelled by his Primordial Gang True Force, he generated fierce gusts of wind, making it seem as if he were flying. He was more than twice as fast as Liu Hong!

As he flew, he didn’t forget to unleash several ferocious, tyrannical streaks of blood-red light, slashing toward the cave behind the waterfall.

Liu Hong was scared out of his wits. He unleashed all of his Qi Blood Power, mobilized every bit of Water Element aura he could, and condensed countless heavy, solid drops of Water Element Sword Intent that surged toward Ghostly Wound.

In their two previous clashes, Liu Hong naturally hadn’t held back, but he hadn’t been fighting for his life.

But now, with the cave behind the waterfall right before him and the chance to escape with his life within reach, Liu Hong had no choice but to go all out!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A deafening roar echoed out once again!

Blasted by the recoil from the clash between the Blood Evil Realm and his Water Element Sword Intent, Liu Hong was sent flying back several dozen feet, spitting blood!

He was quick-witted, however. Seizing the opportunity, he ducked into the cave behind the waterfall and vanished from sight.

"You can’t escape!" Ghostly Wound easily neutralized the recoil with his Primordial Gang True Force. His figure only paused for an instant before he shot forward again, arriving at the cave entrance in just a few breaths.

"Go!"

At that exact moment, Chen Cheng suddenly shouted, quickly scooping up Wang Xiongba and hoisting him onto his shoulder before sprinting back the way they had come.

The two sisters, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, also sprang into action, quickly following behind Chen Cheng.

Ghostly Wound glanced back hastily. Seeing this, a flash of ridicule crossed his eyes.

’Hmph! This brat is just as stupid as he looks. Trying to escape while carrying someone else... The height of foolishness!’

With that private thought, Ghostly Wound’s figure flashed and disappeared into the cave behind the waterfall.

’With my speed, catching a few Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists is as easy as turning over my hand. Why would I need to worry about them getting away?’

Soon, a series of violent rumbles echoed from within the stone mountain.

Chen Cheng and the two sisters fled for their lives back along the path they had taken.

Even while carrying Wang Xiongba, Chen Cheng was still much faster than Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang.

If he hadn’t been deliberately waiting for them, he would have left them far behind long ago.

"Junior Brother Chen, why are you carrying Wang Xiongba?"

Shen Qingyao yelled as she sprinted at top speed.

Shen Qingshuang also frowned. "Junior Brother Chen, Wang Xiongba wanted to kill you. Why on earth are you saving him?"

Without looking back, Chen Cheng replied, "Let’s just focus on escaping for now!"

As he spoke, he took out all his Demon Suppression Department Communication Arrows and fired the entire bundle into the sky.

In broad daylight, using a Whistling Arrow to call for help was only effective within a radius of a few miles.

This area of Five Peaks Ridge was deep within the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, so it was unlikely to be of much use, but it was better than nothing.

"Senior Sister Qingyao, Senior Sister Qingshuang, fire a Whistling Arrow every so often,"

Chen Cheng instructed.

"Alright!" the two women replied in unison.

After they had fled for another few miles, the distant rumbling suddenly ceased. It was obvious the fight between Liu Hong and Ghostly Wound was over.

Whether Liu Hong had escaped or been killed, Ghostly Wound would be coming after them next.

An earthquake had just struck, and many huge, bottomless ravines now blocked their path.

Even running at full speed, the trio still hadn’t managed to escape the Five Peaks Ridge region.

At Ghostly Wound’s speed, it was only a matter of time before they were caught.

Shen Qingyao grew increasingly anxious. "Junior Brother Chen, carrying Wang Xiongba is draining your Qi Blood Power. You should just leave him behind!"

By now, Wang Xiongba had recovered some of his senses, but he still couldn’t run at full speed.

Although he was still in a daze, he understood that if Chen Cheng left him, he would be captured by Ghostly Wound for Alchemy, and his life would be over.

Before Chen Cheng could speak, he blurted out,

"Chen, you saved my life! I, Wang Xiongba, will remember this debt and will definitely repay you in the future!"

"Noisy," Chen Cheng said flatly. He suddenly tightened his grip, and Wang Xiongba immediately passed out.

"He has his uses," Chen Cheng said simply as they reached a hilltop.

He glanced back into the distance and saw a black-clad figure rapidly closing in. It was Ghostly Wound.

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang also glanced back, their faces turning ashen with fright.

At Ghostly Wound’s speed, they would be caught in no time.

"Junior Brother Chen, you should go on ahead and escape! We’ll use our Frost Snow Realm to hold him off for you." A look of grim resolve appeared on Shen Qingshuang’s beautiful face.

Shen Qingyao’s expression was also grave. "She’s right. With this Cold Crystal Jade, I can use the Frost Snow Realm once.

"And if we sisters both stimulate all of our Qi Blood Power, we can forcibly manifest the Frost Snow Realm one more time.

"With that much time, you should be able to get away."

Having witnessed Ghostly Wound’s power, they no longer dared to think of fighting him. They only hoped to stall him for a moment to buy Chen Cheng enough time to flee.

Chen Cheng glanced at them and smiled. "If I really wanted to escape, not even Ghostly Wound could stop me."

Shen Qingshuang assumed Chen Cheng was just saying that to comfort them, and she grew anxious and snapped,

"Junior Brother Chen, this is a matter of life and death! How can you still be in the mood to spout nonsense!"

Chen Cheng suddenly tossed Wang Xiongba aside. In a flash, he scooped up Shen Qingyao with his left hand and Shen Qingshuang with his right, then forcefully threw them forward.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The two sisters felt themselves enveloped by a powerful ripple of force. Their bodies felt as light as feathers as they flew several hundred feet before landing.

When they turned to look, Chen Cheng had already picked Wang Xiongba up again and was rapidly catching up to them.

His expression was relaxed and his breathing was steady and deep, as if he hadn’t expended much Qi Blood Power at all.

"Junior Brother Chen, have you cultivated the Great Power Realm?" Shen Qingshuang exclaimed, both shocked and overjoyed.

"Mm." Chen Cheng nodded slightly, then his expression turned serious. "When Ghostly Wound catches up, you two Senior Sisters just focus on fleeing with all your might. I won’t be able to hold him off for long!"

"Okay!" Shen Qingshuang nodded, then turned and began to run.

"Junior Brother Chen, are you carrying Wang Xiongba to make Ghostly Wound hesitate?" Shen Qingyao asked, having figured it out as she ran.

Ghostly Wound was counting on using Wang Xiongba for Alchemy, so he couldn’t allow any harm to come to him. If Chen Cheng used Wang Xiongba as a human shield, Ghostly Wound’s hands would be tied, even if he wanted to kill Chen Cheng.

This would give Chen Cheng a chance to escape with his life.

"Something like that," Chen Cheng said.

After they had run a while longer, Ghostly Wound’s voice drifted over from the distance. "Little brats, you can’t escape!"

The three of them picked up their pace. Shen Qingyao also fired all of her remaining Communication Arrows into the sky.

The Whistling Arrows exploded high in the sky and quickly faded.

Just then, from over the mountain forest a few miles away, came the sound of another Whistling Arrow exploding!

Chen Cheng looked toward the sound and saw that the Whistling Arrow had exploded in the sky, blooming into a brilliantly colored, five-hued firework!

The Communication Arrows of the Linji City Demon Suppression Department had different grades, each representing a different status.

A Whistling Arrow that bloomed into a five-colored firework represented none other than the Lord Chief Director of the Linji City Demon Suppression Department!

In all of Linji City, only the Lord Chief Director of the Demon Suppression Department, Xia Lingfeng, could use such an arrow.

"It’s Lord Xia! Lord Xia is here!" Shen Qingyao cheered, both shocked and overjoyed.

The Lord Chief Director of the Demon Suppression Department, Xia Lingfeng, was an Organ Refining Realm expert. With him on his way, the three of them were saved!

"Little brats, you can’t escape!" Ghostly Wound’s voice echoed once more.

He was now less than half a mile from the trio and would reach them in the blink of an eye!

But the Lord Chief Director, Xia Lingfeng, was still several miles away!

"Senior Sisters, run with all your might and don’t look back!" Chen Cheng bellowed.
