Chapter 2276: Chapter 2277: Escaped
His figure quickly retreated, lightly touching the ground, and drifted to several meters away from Lin Chen.
At this moment, Lu Kang finally looked seriously at Lin Chen in front of him. This kid, who seemed not very powerful, was extremely mysterious, and even with Lu Kang’s wide experience, he found it hard to decipher Lin Chen’s depths.
Lu Kang’s gaze flickered continuously, while his right hand kept emitting a crackling sound.
The Evil Qi was like a highly corrosive substance, swallowing Lu Kang’s wound and relentlessly crawling up his hand.
Lu Kang glanced briefly, then swiftly raised a palm high, the wind from the palm like a blade, quickly chopping onto the opposite arm!
Instantly, that arm was severed and fell to the ground, rapidly turning into dust under the devouring black Qi!
Whoosh!
A sound of breaking through the air rang out, and Lin Chen clearly had no intention of stopping. His movements were like a tiger, rushing to Lu Kang several meters away, further exuding an overwhelming aura.
Lu Kang stared at Lin Chen, his gaze flickering incessantly. Given Lin Chen’s current strength, using his damaged body, Lu Kang feared it would be hard to gain any advantage.
What infuriated him the most was the pupil in the center of Lin Chen’s forehead. It had the artifact of the Holy Sect, which was the key to quickly regaining strength!
"Huh?"
Lu Kang avoided Lin Chen’s attack, when suddenly he felt a slight movement in his ear. From afar, he could clearly feel a surge of powerful energy continuously approaching their location.
"Have they found us already?"
Lu Kang frowned slightly. They had been fighting for quite a long time, so the people from the Green Ripple Sect finding them wouldn’t be implausible.
A palm struck Lin Chen’s chest, but Lin Chen seemed unaware and continued to close in on Lu Kang.
The current Lin Chen didn’t fear pain and wasn’t afraid of Lu Kang. This unkillable state made Lu Kang exceedingly uncomfortable.
Coupled with sensing the vibrations from around them, Lu Kang couldn’t afford to linger in battle here.
Thinking this way, a thought crossed Lu Kang’s mind.
With Lin Chen in sight, it was possible to remove the Sacred Orb anytime, but most importantly, Lu Kang needed to preserve his life.
If he waited for the Green Ripple Sect members to arrive, Lu Kang would be easily pursued even in this open area.
He originally had a fair advantage with those Sect Elders, but it was just crafty maneuvering. Currently, Lu Kang clearly lacked the previous conditions.
"Before I find you next time, just make sure you don’t die easily!"
Lu Kang squinted his eyes, casting a cold glare at Lin Chen, then quickly moved.
Like a ghost retreating, currently, Lu Kang wasn’t facing Lin Chen, thus the escape speed was incredibly fast. In a few breaths, he was already dozens of meters away.
On the road he took, he passed by Chen Jie, who was clutching her head, still suffering from the impact of Lu Kang’s earlier attacks, with a trace of indignation on his face.
With a thud, Lu Kang swung out a hand, taking advantage of his escape, he unexpectedly launched an offensive towards Chen Jie.
Although Chen Jie’s face was pained, her body seemed driven by instinct, she raised her hand, elevating it to a certain point.
Soon, a gust of wind came, hitting Chen Jie’s frail arm.
With a splattering sound, blood sprayed out, the force that struck Chen Jie wasn’t stopped and instead fiercely rebounded, hitting her head!
Already teetering, Chen Jie, under this blow, suffered immensely, her injuries too severe, causing her to quickly pass out.
"Senior, wait for me!"
Afterward, Lu Kang didn’t even glance at Tao Yuyu, moving like a nimble monkey, swifting from tree to tree into the distance.
This shocked Tao Yuyu, and amidst his cries, he followed Lu Kang’s footsteps in pursuit.
Yet upon hearing these words, Lu Kang didn’t look back. He knew clearly that taking along Tao Yuyu would make Lu Kang more vulnerable here and increase the chances of being caught.
Without Tao Yuyu, when the Green Ripple Sect members arrived, at least they could delay them, allowing Lu Kang extra time to escape to a safer place.
If one doesn’t fend for oneself, heaven and earth condemn! Lu Kang left Tao Yuyu behind without a shred of guilt.
Tao Yuyu shouted several times, but in an instant, Lu Kang vanished from sight, concealed among the greenery, leaving no trace.
"Damned!"
Tao Yuyu cursed inwardly. Though his Shadow Concealing Step was exquisite, it was merely useful during combat. While traveling, it lacked the previous swiftness.
Nonetheless, he still moved forward. Although he couldn’t perceive the surrounding situation, his Spiritual Sense wasn’t as keen as Lu Kang’s.
Moreover, after Lu Kang left, Lin Chen became someone Tao Yuyu couldn’t deal with.
Thus, Tao Yuyu certainly wouldn’t linger here.
Just as he stepped a few strides forward, a figure descended from the sky before him.
Powerful legs landed before Tao Yuyu, amidst scattered leaves, which stirred up from the ground as his feet stomped.
Fallen leaves rose into the air, seemingly encircling the descending silhouette like a backdrop.
Tao Yuyu’s expression changed, his face full of recognition as he looked at the figure, the face he knew well, having chased Lu Kang’s figure earlier—Lin Chen.
At this moment, Lin Chen’s three eyes were open, with two pupils pitch-black like night, only the central eye on Lin Chen’s forehead was formed by a black orb, showing a tinge of crimson.
Having not caught up with Lu Kang, Lin Chen now turned around, with three eyes fixed tightly on Tao Yuyu not far ahead, eyes devoid of emotion.
As if, in Lin Chen’s current perspective, who was before him didn’t matter; what mattered was whether it was alive or dead.
Indeed, as he stared, the longsword in Lin Chen’s hand began to hum, like it was hungry and urgently needed to drink blood.
Gulp—Tao Yuyu lightly swallowed, his throat trembling, evident of his nervousness.
This was truly because Lin Chen was too terrifying.
Three pairs of sinister pupils, a shoulder projecting white bones towering up straight, aligned in height with Lin Chen, even at the tip, remaining fragmented flesh from piercing through Lu Kang’s palm stuck upon it.
