Chapter 162: Counter Kill!
"I don't know what tricks you used to defeat Liu Yanguo's master, but today you've met me, and you're definitely going to die." The cultivator said with a cold smile, looking at Yi Chen.
"With you bunch of good-for-nothings, don't waste my time, bring over the dog."
Since the other party is intercepting here, Liu Nuo must have grasped his trail and will probably arrive soon. Yi Chen didn't want to waste time, if he was surrounded, it would be dangerous.
"Your mouth is quite tough, I hope you can last ten moves under my hands."
The intercepting cultivator sneered and had his hands wrapped in a majestic soul force, then quickly tapped the snow with his toes before charging towards Yi Chen.
"Hiss" When he arrived at a distance of only ten meters from Yi Chen, the intercepting cultivator jumped up and struck with his hands clasped together towards Yi Chen's chest.
"Get out." Without mobilizing his soul power, Yi Chen shouted and hooked his right foot, fearlessly meeting the incoming attack. A formless gust of wind swirled around his toes.
A loud "boom" echoed out in all directions, Yi Chen blocked the opponent's attack without using his soul power and even sent them flying back.
"How is it possible to forcefully break through to the Quasi-Huang Soul Realm relying solely on physical strength?"
The cultivator who intercepted him left several deep footprints on the ground, feeling numbness in his arms and looking at Yi Chen with a horrified gaze.
According to Yi Chen's current strength, cultivators of the same realm were simply no match for him, except for those geniuses nurtured by major powers.
"Let me send you on your way." Ignoring the other's gaze, Yi Chen stood up and leaped into the air like a great roc, then quickly dived down and charged towards the intercepting cultivator.
"What?" The speed was too fast, the intercepting cultivator's face revealed a look of shock, wanting to dodge but it was already too late, he circulated his soul force and crossed his hands over his head.
In the next second, Yi Chen collided with him and instantly knocked him into the snowy ground. Snowflakes danced in the air as the cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood.
"With such a small skill, you think you can stop me? You're too naive." A ruthless punch was thrown out, hitting the opponent's heart, and Yi Chen said a calm word.
"Peng" couldn't dodge at all, the interceptor's heart was hit, and the powerful force shattered his heart into a pulp. He stared wide-eyed, looking at Yi Chen with a terrified gaze before he died.
"How can there be such a strong physical strength." This is the last question that the intercepted cultivator wanted to ask before he died, unfortunately, he could only leave this world with this regret.
The opponent had already been taken care of, but Yi Chen's face turned solemn. With his keen senses, he detected a group of people rapidly approaching from that direction.
"Liu Nu and his men have arrived." From the breath they released, it was possible to judge their identities. Yi Chen's mouth hooked up a cold smile.
With a flip of his palm, a small knife appeared in Yi Chen's hand. He ruthlessly chopped down with one slash, cutting off the intercepting cultivator's head and hanging it on a large tree.
"I hope you like this gift." Easily saying this sentence, Yi Chen left without looking back.
Yi Chen had just left for a short while, and more than a dozen figures appeared in the battlefield. When they saw the severed human head, everyone's face turned gloomy.
"Still a step too late, he got away." one of the cultivators said coldly.
"Divide into six groups, three people in each group. You must find him for me." Liu Nu's face turned cold, he stretched out his hand and waved it forward, leading two cultivators to chase after him first.
The remaining fifteen cultivators quickly divided into five teams and went in several directions, like a big net, chasing after Yi Chen.
"Whoosh" With extremely fast speed through the forest, Yi Chen easily shook them off, but his serious expression did not diminish.
Although they had shaken them off, he didn't know why, but every time Yi Chen stayed in one place for a while, the other side would catch up with him again after not too long.
"More sensitive than a dog's nose, this won't do if it continues like this." Yi Chen furrowed his brow, the other side had too many people, and forcing a confrontation wouldn't yield even half a chance of winning; the best approach was to avoid them.
"Damn it, the road ahead is blocked."
At present, Yi Chen can't think of a better way and can only flee forward. However, after two hours, he sensed the appearance of three familiar auras in front of him, who were people from the Wind Shadow Empire.
There were interceptors in front and pursuers behind, the situation was extremely unfavorable for Yi Chen.
Eyebrows furrowed, Yi Chen's figure flashed and did not continue to move forward, suddenly turning around and rushing towards the west.
"In terms of speed, as long as they weren't from the Huang Soul Realm coming to kill him, they couldn't do anything to Yi Chen and would soon be shaken off."
About half a time later, Yi Chen stopped on a big tree, half squatting down and adjusting his state.
He had completely shaken off the other party, but Yi Chen didn't relax in the slightest. For some reason, that group of people could always accurately grasp his whereabouts, which made him feel very strange.
"Could it be that they really grew dog noses?" Yi Chen couldn't help but let out a light snort.
The sound of "hiss" had just fallen when footsteps came again from the rear, and the people of the Wind Shadow Empire had caught up.
No matter which direction Yi Chen ran in, the other party could always find him, which made Yi Chen extremely depressed.
Once is an accident, twice may be a coincidence, but if it happens repeatedly, there must be a problem.
"The problem lies somewhere." Yi Chen thought left and right, but couldn't figure out where the problem was.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, a strong killing intent was coming from that direction. Several times, Yi Chen had narrowly escaped, but this time they had chatted enough, and it was necessary to strike him down.
The number of opponents was too many, and a fierce battle would be extremely dangerous for Yi Chen. He wisely jumped forward, continuing to move forward.
"Bang! Bang!"
As soon as Yi Chen just jumped out, several strange sounds rang out above his head, and several birds flapped their wings and flew into the air, followed by Yi Chen flying forward.
"Those birds seem a bit off." Yi Chen looked up and carefully observed the few flying birds that had suddenly appeared.
In a place where the sky is cold and the ground is frozen, unless it's a magical creature, ordinary birds would never choose to build their nests here.
Having been here for so long, Yi Chen had seen many demons, but ordinary birds were something he had never seen before. The birds on the roof aroused his suspicion.
As expected, after a careful observation, Yi Chen found an abnormality on the claws of those birds. He saw that their claws were wearing a ring with a magic beast pattern on it.
If it were a wild bird species, there would be no such thing. From this point of view, it must be a domesticated one without a doubt.
And that monster pattern Yichen had seen it before, on the clothes passed down by Liu Nu and others, there was a identical monster pattern printed on it.
"Are you relying on these birds to track me?" Having finally discovered something amiss, Yi Chen coldly smiled and swiftly flung out his right hand, several strands of soul power shooting out like daggers.
"Hiss" Those birds were not magical creatures and had no ability to resist, they were directly shattered into minced meat by the soul power, their feathers and blood splashing in all directions.
"It's time for you to pay the price for chasing me for so long." Having solved the bird tracking, Yi Chen put his mind at ease, and with a tap of his toe, he landed on a large tree.
Being chased for so long, Yi Chen was extremely unhappy. If he didn't find a way to turn the tables and teach his opponent a lesson, he would have a hard time getting over this mental hurdle.
Moreover, without tracking birds, Yi Chen can escape at any time with a terrifying speed.
"I'll just stay here and play with you guys." With a calm smile, Yi Chen's figure flashed and instantly disappeared from the spot, hiding himself.
The footsteps in the distance were getting closer and closer. More than a dozen figures wearing uniforms flew over like the wind, and they were Liu Nu's gang.
When they arrived at Yichens' previous stop, they tacitly stopped in their tracks, forming a circle and staring at the feathers all over the ground with unpleasant expressions.
"Unexpectedly, we divided into several teams to surround him, but he escaped from us. Even the specially trained tracking birds were discovered and killed by him." Liu Nuo said fiercely.
According to his plan, he should have been able to perfectly intercept Yi Chen, but unfortunately, the tracking bird had already been killed. It would be difficult to find the latter again.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" one of the cultivators asked, looking around.
"Judging from the traces on the scene, he can't go far. Continue to chase and we should be able to find him." Liu Nuo said with a ferocious expression, not giving up yet.
"If we catch him, we must cut him into a thousand pieces and avenge Liu Yanguo's master." The cultivator who just spoke said fiercely.
Just as the words "sha sha" rang out, the surrounding trees and leaves transmitted a strange sound, instantly putting Liu Nu and others on guard.
"Who is it." Liu Nuoling felt extremely powerful, her hands formed a seal and struck out, a majestic energy rapidly rushed out, transformed into a long sword, and rushed towards one of the large trees.
The person hiding in the tree did not choose to hide, stretched out his hand and touched the storage ring on his finger, a huge heavy sword appeared in his hand, quickly using force to slash forward.
A loud "boom" rang out, shockwaves shaking down countless leaves, and Yi Chen easily blocked the opponent's attack.
"Death by a thousand cuts? Isn't this method of execution too uncreative?"
A cold laughter echoed in the air, Yi Chen sprang up and leaped down like a falling meteor, his hand holding the Tianyun heavy sword thrusting towards them, the air was filled with the sound of whistling wind.
"Scatter quickly." The impact was extremely strong, and Liu Nu did not harden his stance. With a light shout, the crowd in the field immediately retreated to the edge of their feet and dispersed in all directions.
A deafening rumble shook the air as Yi Chen used his physical strength to blast a deep pit into the ground, and the Heaven-Defying Heavy Sword was inserted into the earth, with spider web-like cracks spreading out in all directions.
"What a terrifying physical strength."
The cultivators following Liu Nu took a deep breath, they had not sensed any soul power fluctuations just now, it was clear that the opponent was using physical strength, and in the face of such destruction, he hadn't suffered even half an injury.
"After chasing me for so long, it's time for you to pay the price." Ignoring the numerous shocked gazes, Yi Chen quickly pulled out the Tianyun Heavy Sword from the ground and charged towards one of the cultivators.
"Come and take my life!"
