He vanished without a trace, giving no warning whatsoever!
After only a moment's delay, Xia Lingfeng swung his longsword again, attacking with his Blazing Li Fire Sword Intent.
Ghostly Wound had no time to think and could only flee at top speed toward the Great Wilderness Mountain Range!
...
Deep within the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, the earth still shook violently, letting out a series of intense rumbles!
The two sisters, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, were hidden on a hilltop, gazing anxiously toward the Great Wilderness Mountain Range from afar!
"Will Junior Brother Chen be all right?" Shen Qingyao murmured, her eyes misting over.
Shen Qingshuang, equally worried, said, "Lord Xia and Grandfather have both rushed over. Junior Brother Chen should be fine."
"Sigh..." Shen Qingyao let out a long sigh but said no more.
Suddenly, her beautiful eyes lit up as she exclaimed excitedly, "It's Junior Brother Chen! Junior Brother Chen is safe!"
In the distance, a figure in purple was streaking through the forest at extreme speed.
The sisters, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, had never seen anyone move so fast in their entire lives.
Not even Xia Lingfeng, the Chief of Demon Suppression Bureau and an expert at Organ Refining Realm Perfection, could run this fast through the forest!
Let alone the Patriarch of the Shen Family, Shen Mingyuan, who was at Marrow Cleansing Realm Perfection, or the Vice Director of the Demon Suppression Department, Xue Huai'an.
Chen Cheng's current speed could leave them all in the dust!
'But how is this possible? Junior Brother Chen is clearly just a Bone Forger Realm Martial Artist!'
After their initial euphoria, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang were so deeply shocked that they forgot to even call out as Chen Cheng sped past the foot of their hill!
Suddenly, Chen Cheng came to a halt in a large tree and looked toward the hilltop where Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang were.
In fact, when Xia Lingfeng had first appeared, Chen Cheng's initial choice was to ignore everything and make a timely escape.
However, upon seeing Xia Lingfeng trapped and at a disadvantage, Chen Cheng worried that Ghostly Wound would ignore Xia Lingfeng and come after him instead. Thus, he had no choice but to interfere a few times.
Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. He successfully turned the tables, allowing Xia Lingfeng to seize the upper hand.
Afterward, Shen Mingyuan and Xue Huai'an arrived and joined forces with Xia Lingfeng against Ghostly Wound, firmly securing the advantage!
Although Xia Lingfeng's group of three had the upper hand, Ghostly Wound was, after all, an old monster who had lived for decades, if not centuries. How could he not have some tricks to save his own life?
Even if the three of them could defeat Ghostly Wound, killing him would be another matter entirely.
If Chen Cheng had continued to meddle, he feared he would get caught in the crossfire, so he had bolted at the first opportunity!
As for who would ultimately win or lose, that wasn't a problem Chen Cheng needed to concern himself with.
'There seems to be someone lying in wait on that hilltop, but it probably isn't Senior Sister Qingyao and the others.'
'Forget it. It's too dangerous out here. My current Martial Arts Power is still too weak. I can't afford any more complications; getting away safely is what matters.'
After glancing at the hilltop, Chen Cheng made this silent resolution and took off, flying toward the distant forest.
"Junior Brother Chen!"
"Junior Brother Chen!"
Seeing Chen Cheng leave, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang finally snapped out of their daze. They hurried out from their hiding spot and chased after him.
The sudden appearance of the two women gave Chen Cheng a start!
When the two women drew near, Chen Cheng glanced suspiciously toward the hilltop. Only after confirming no one else was there did he ask:
"Senior Sister Qingyao, Senior Sister Qingshuang, why didn't you call out just now?"
Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang clearly hadn't expected such a question from Chen Cheng and were both stunned for a moment.
After a long pause, Shen Qingyao finally smiled and said:
"You were moving so fast, we didn't have time to call out!"
'What kind of reason is that!!!'
Shen Qingshuang, however, noticed that Chen Cheng's clothes seemed much thinner than before, as if he wasn't wearing his usual Inner Armor.
After carefully looking him over from head to toe and confirming that he wasn't injured, she felt a bit more at ease and asked with concern:
"Junior Brother Chen, are you all right?"
"I'm fine," Chen Cheng replied with a smile.
"Huh... Junior Brother Chen, where is your Inner Armor?" Shen Qingyao also noticed the abnormality and asked.
"That set of Inner Armor is quite heavy. I was in a hurry to escape, so I tossed it!" Chen Cheng answered truthfully.
Flinging away his armor to flee for his lifeāit was indeed a bit pathetic, but there was no other choice.
After all, saving his own skin had to come first!
"So that's why! You weren't wearing your Inner Armor. No wonder you were so fast!" Shen Qingyao exclaimed in a moment of sudden realization, her stunning face filled with joy!
"This is no place to linger. Let's head back to Moshan City first."
Chen Cheng's figure suddenly flickered. With his large hands, he scooped up Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang by their soft, slender waists, lifting them with ease.
The two women cried out in unison, but neither of them resisted, allowing Chen Cheng to carry them as he raced through the forest.
His speed was far greater than what they could achieve even when running at full tilt.
"Junior Brother Chen, how are you so fast?" Shen Qingyao asked, her shock giving way to growing suspicion.
Even if Chen Cheng was a Martial Artist at Great Success in Bone Forging Realm, he couldn't possibly be this fast!
Especially not while carrying two people!
"I'm used to wearing heavy Inner Armor all the time. The two of you together don't even weigh as much as my armor, so of course it doesn't affect me," Chen Cheng said casually.
"Oh, that's right. Qingshuang mentioned before that you seem to have Innate Divine Power!" Shen Qingyao murmured, leaning her head slightly against Chen Cheng's chest.
Having just been through a life-and-death crisis, she felt mentally and physically exhausted. Chen Cheng's strong, solid chest gave her a sense of security.
Shen Qingshuang, too, showed a rare maidenly vulnerability, holding on to Chen Cheng tightly.
She had read the Dragon's Roar Iron Cloth Shirt Secret Manual and was gradually piecing things together. She said:
"Junior Brother Chen, that footwork of yours... is it the Wandering Dragon Step from the Dragon's Roar Iron Cloth Shirt?"
"Yes." Chen Cheng nodded lightly.
"I've practiced the Wandering Dragon Step before, too. How come it was never as incredible as yours?" Shen Qingshuang asked, bewildered.
