Chapter 322 - First BloodThe Thunderbird was a thunder-attribute demon beast, and it was also a flying type demon beast. It"s specialty was speed, although its level was not as high as the wolf cub, but in the sky, its speed was fleeting. It was definitely not any slower than the wolf cub.
When the Thunderbird appeared in the sky, it didn"t take long for it to fly right in front of Long Chen. For now, escaping immediately would most likely attract the attention of the people in the sky, so in the most critical moment, Long Chen carried Ling Xi and quickly rushed into the cave!
Just as they entered the cave, a total of five Thunder Birds interweaved to form a huge lightning net, rus.h.i.+ng past Long Chen"s head, and wherever they went, crackling sounds could be heard!
The Thunderbirds flew at a low alt.i.tude, and after they flew by, the entire forest seemed to be on fire. If it were not for the humid air at night, the trees would have been burning by now.
During the process of the Thunderbird"s flight, Long Chen had been looking at Ling Xi in his arms and he was also staring blankly at him. They had been in love just now, but they hadn"t thought that the royals would catch up to them at this time. Ling Xi felt a little awkward, but she was more worried.
"Brother Chen!"
The ones who came were the commanders of the imperial city, which also meant that the imperial family had caught up to them. Long Chen didn"t know how they found out the direction that Long Chen was heading in, but it wasn"t important anymore. The important thing was how to get out of here.
"Little Wolf, how is the strength of the Guard"s Commander in the Imperial City?" Right after the Thunder Bird pa.s.sed, Long Chen asked in a low voice.From Ling Xi"s translation, Long Chen found out that there were a total of seven commanders in the Imperial Guard Army. One of them was eighth level of the Milky Way Realm, the other four were Sixth Stage of the Milky Way Realm. This included the Seventh Commander who brought Long Chen into the Biyang Royal City to become China.
To Long Chen, this was an unstoppable force. Putting aside eighth level of the Milky Way Realm, even Long Chen was not his match.
"Relax, that First Commander is actually part of the royal family. His status is honorable, and he carries out the important mission of guarding the Imperial City. He shouldn"t be moving out. The five Thunder Birds should be the other five commanders." Ling Xi pa.s.sed on the Little Wolf"s words to Long Chen.
Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Brother Chen, are we just going to stay here?" Ling Xi asked nervously. As it was the middle of the night and she wasn"t wearing much, she was already s.h.i.+vering in the cold.
"Since they know we"re nearby, their only plan is to escape. Xiao Xi, quickly put on more clothes, I need to pack up! "At this critical moment, Ling Xi did not dare be negligent at all, she immediately wrapped herself up, and at the same time, Long Chen had already packed his belongings and carried her on his back. He shot a glance at the little wolf, then rushed out, and started to travel through the vast mountains overnight.
Long Chen and the little wolf actually didn"t make any noise.
Not long after he fled, Long Chen heard a rumbling sound from behind him. This was the sound of countless war horses advancing, and it must be a demonic beast of high quality. If there were a lot of dense sounds, it meant that there were a lot of methods to catch up.
"c.r.a.p, those war horses are surrounding us!" If they were to fight now, the lightning birds in the sky would be on patrol. With the lightning birds" eyesight, as long as there was the slightest movement, they would bring their master here immediately.
At that time, Long Chen would truly lose his life."Little Wolf, they haven"t found our location yet. If they do, Little Xi will leave it to you. I"ll lead the way!" Xiao Xi, your health is not good. Just bear with it a little longer this time. At this critical juncture, Long Chen quickly gave the orders.
He hadn"t been discovered yet, so he ran at his highest speed, heading for a dark place where the woods were thick and dense.had already activated his fastest speed in the forest, but it was in time for this, as the Thunder Bird in the sky was still patrolling around, a few times flying above Long Chen"s head, at this time, Long Chen could only stop, catch his breath, and not be discovered!
Fortunately, he had Spirit Devouring Demon Pupil s, so when enemies approached him, he could quickly discover them!
In the process of escaping, Long Chen finally realised that among the Spirit Devouring Demon Pupil, the ability of insight was actually quite great.
This kind of escape lasted for less than an hour. However, the lightning birds in the sky continued to exist, and the sounds of tens of thousands of horses galloping behind them could be heard.
At this time, what was Long Chen chasing from behind? This was a powerful army from the Imperial City known as the Ghost Horse Heavy Riding! The Ghost Horse Heavy Riding was made up of a total of two thousand Milky Way Realm pract.i.tioners, and demon beasts of the ninth level of the Profound Ranked — Scarlet Ghost Horses. Just by hearing this name, one could infer that the configuration of the Ghost Horse Heavy Riding s were naturally quite luxurious, but in order to chase after Long Chen, they didn"t know how many Ghost Horse Heavy Riding s had been dispatched!Demonic beasts teamed up with warriors to form a group, and it was such a large group, so the Ghost Horse Heavy Riding"s fighting strength was naturally self-evident. And the commander of the Ghost Horse Heavy Riding s, was the one who had led Long Chen into the Biyang Royal City before. As for the other commanders, they were probably above the Thunderbird!
There are at least two hundred Ghost Horse Heavy Riding s and many others that are following behind me. Other than the Ghost Horse Heavy Riding, there seem to be a lot of other Imperial Guard Army s as well, because they seem to know that I"m in the forest. Thinking about it here, Long Chen changed slightly!
The Imperial City Army was a form of encirclement that trapped the current Long Chen. Without question, they knew the general location of Long Chen. Long Chen"s brain quickly turned, and finally remembered a person!It should be the owner of the shop who bought all sorts of things in crescent city, the middle-aged fatty, the one who owned the map!
What Long Chen did not expect was that, in order to kill him, the imperial city had actually achieved such a degree, that even the owner of a random shop in a small city could guess the ident.i.ty of the cloaked Long Chen!
"It seems that the royal family has decided this time. They will dig me out from the Canyang Kingdom and kill me after!" The ruthless determination of the imperial family made Long Chen"s heart heavy. It was only when he thought that he still had someone to protect, that he did not express his fl.u.s.tered mood.
"When a boat reaches the end of the bridge, it will naturally come to an end. Now, it seems that everything can only be killed!" The pursuit by the imperial family also triggered the bloodthirsty killing intent that belonged to the Primordial Blood Spirit Dragon that came from the depths of Long Chen"s personality. Very quickly, his body began to emit a faint baleful aura."Brother Chen, are you alright?" Seeing Long Chen"s situation, Ling Xi was a little worried.
"Don"t worry, I will definitely bring you out. Just be good and listen to me." Long Chen said in a low voice. His voice began to become hoa.r.s.e, and even when he was talking to Ling Xi, a dense amount of killing intent emitted from his voice."How about I give up on this body right now, so that it won"t burden you, and you and Little Wolf can escape without me," Ling Xi said, and tears welled in her eyes. Of course she didn"t want to return to Ling Xi"s sword, if not, then today, Long Chen and Little Wolf would die here.
"Shut your mouth! You are not allowed to mention this matter again, otherwise I will not forgive you! " Long Chen naturally wouldn"t allow her to do that. At such a critical juncture, he could only say some ruthless words. Being yelled at in a low voice, Ling Xi bit his lips with a look of innocence, tears almost flowing out from his eyes.
"Brother Chen, I am truly useless. I am unable to help you and I have even dragged you down with me. I feel very uncomfortable in my heart." Ling Xi said these words in his heart.
Right at this moment, Long Chen stopped in his tracks. After rus.h.i.+ng to this place, he actually discovered a valley in front of him, with towering mountains at both sides. The only way to pa.s.s through here, was to forcefully pa.s.s through this valley.As for retreating, that was already impossible. Even more pursuers had already caught up from behind, and if he turned back, what Long Chen was about to face was an even greater battle!
Long Chen only stayed for a single breath of time. Right now was the most urgent moment, he only had a minute to a.n.a.lyze the pros and cons. It was already impossible to retreat. If he hid in the distance, he would be discovered sooner or later. The only option he had now was to decisively kill his way out!"Little Wolf!" Little Xi is in your hands! " Long Chen did not allow Ling Xi to resist, and he placed her behind the little wolf. The wolf cub had his own demonic powers, so during the battle, he could naturally suck Ling Xi onto his back, and Long Chen and the wolf cub had trained their divine fire clone to the highest level. With a large number of divine fire clone, they did not need to worry about anyone attacking Ling Xi in the chaos!
The little wolf followed closely behind him. He understood that Long Chen was trying to break through the encirclement very quickly, and what he needed to do was to protect Ling Xi well, and then follow Long Chen"s footsteps. As for making a move, it was enough for Long Chen to do it by himself!
In the blink of an eye, Long Chen had already charged into the valley!
His speed was too fast, and his arrival was too sudden. The Imperial Guard Army in the valley didn"t have time to react, as a large amount of blood colored fog covered the entire valley. The blood colored fog quickly filled everyone"s vision, and that terrifying suction force acted on everyone"s body!"Devouring Blood Realm!"
The entire Devouring Blood Realm was like a blood coc.o.o.n, quickly covering all the other Imperial Guard Army!
"Who is it!" A loud shout came out from the Guard!
