Chapter 394: 394
A ferocious light cut apart the void, rus.h.i.+ng towards the middle of Long Chen’s back . That terrifying power caused Long Chen’s scalp to feel numb .
He had never expected to be ambushed in such a place . A violet flame blade appeared in his hand, slas.h.i.+ng out behind him .
BOOM! Long Chen borrowed the powerful force to fly away from the ambusher . Turning back, he couldn’t see anything at all .
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back, and another fierce attack came stabbing for the middle of his back . It had almost reached him before he noticed .
Long Chen was greatly alarmed . From the start of the attack to now, he hadn’t even had a chance to see who was attacking him . Their movement technique was far too bizarre!
“Pill Flame!” Long Chen’s Pill Flame surged out of him, instantly spreading three hundred meters around him .
After calling out his Pill Flame, Devil Decapitator swung out to meet the sudden attack .
Although he didn’t turn back, he relied just on his intuition to strike that attack . But Long Chen was shocked to find a portion of his saber attack was erased somehow .
“Eh?”
A soft sound rang out . Long Chen turned back to look back at that faint figure .
But he could only tell that this person was human-shaped before they used some unknown technique to disappear in front of him, reappearing behind his back again to attack .
Long Chen icily snorted . Gripping Devil Decapitator with both hands, he swung around, hacking at the person behind him .
As he had expected, there was a sword that had been piercing towards his back . But this time Long Chen managed to clash with it head-on, his saber heavily smas.h.i.+ng into that person’s sword .
BOOM!
Long Chen was involuntarily knocked back several steps, while that person was also sent flying by Long Chen’s saber .
“It’s you?!” Suddenly, a startled cry rang out . As that illusory figure gradually became solid, it revealed that the attacker was a woman .
Her figure was lithe and graceful . The sword in her hand rippled like water, and she wore a white veil that concealed her face .
Although the only thing that could be seen of her face was her eyes and above, those two limpid eyes emitted a light that seemed as if they could steal a person’s soul .
“You?” Long Chen was also startled . He hadn’t expected to run into her here . This was the mysterious woman that had saved his life .
Back then, Long Chen had been heavily injured by Yin Luo . In the end, he had ended up running into Jiang Yifan while completely exhausted . If it weren’t for her, Long Chen would already be dead .
At that time, Long Chen had felt this woman to be extremely mysterious . Then through their three exchanges just now, Long Chen realized that this woman was even more powerful than he had imagined .
Her practically demonic movement technique would give anyone a headache . What shocked him the most was that her cultivation base was still only at the peak of Tendon Transformation .
It had to be known that after Long Chen had condensed the Alioth Star, his combat ability had soared . He had a.s.sumed he wouldn’t have any more rivals within the same realm .
During their three exchanges, Long Chen hadn’t held back at all, but this woman was still able to easily receive his saber’s attacks . She was definitely terrifying .
“Sorry, I thought you were an enemy,” apologized the woman .
“It’s no matter, just a misunderstanding,” smiled Long Chen .
“It really was just a misunderstanding . Your aura is similar to some of my opponents . I thought you had followed me inside . ”
“Opponents? With a similar aura to mine?”
“Their techniques and skills were different, but the auras were somewhat similar . Their body’s qi and blood surged like dragons, and the power of their physical body was like a beast’s . ”
“Who were they?” asked Long Chen . He was very interested in what she was saying . Apparently, those people were also specialized in body tempering .
The woman merely smiled and didn’t reply to his question . “I wouldn’t have expected you would be so strong . You actually don’t require any secret treasure, and can rely solely on your physical body to resist this pressure . ”
Since she didn’t directly reply, Long Chen didn’t continue pestering her about that topic . He now noticed there was a faint blue curtain of light over her body .
That light curtain was like ripples protecting her body within . Now he understood how she was able to stay down here .
It was no wonder she could move so easily under this terrifying pressure . This secret treasure of hers allowed her to move freely .
“Come . ” The woman took a few steps towards Long Chen, and the curtain of light around her spread a bit wider, covering Long Chen as well .
Long Chen immediately felt the pressure completely disappear . He no longer felt as if he was being battered by angry sea waves .
“Thank you . ” He cupped his hands to her .
“Why would you enter here?” she asked .
“Well, the good places have pretty much been gone through by pigs, so I just came here to try my luck . ”
She found that quite amusing, laughing, “Your guts really are big . The pressure here can easily crush Bone Forging experts to death . Are you trying to show off that you’re a strong and daring person?”
“In truth, I was just curious . I wanted to see what’s down here . ”
“I also just entered here a short while ago . There is very likely something I need here . Will you help me out a bit?” she asked after some hesitation .
“No problem . ” Long Chen nodded .
She was a bit astonished . “You’re going to promise me just like this? Aren’t you afraid of me tricking you?”
“I owe you a huge debt . Even if you’re tricking me, I’d still have to repay you . ” Long Chen shrugged helplessly .
“Oh? There aren’t many people like you in the Righteous path,” sighed the woman .
“There really aren’t many . ” Long Chen also couldn’t help sighing ruefully .
That woman laughed . Although it wasn’t possible to see her face, just those eyes gave people an enchanting feeling .
Furthermore, that laugh of hers contained an almost devilish charm, shaking people’s minds and causing their hearts to involuntarily beat faster .
“Your skin really is thick . Are you just praising yourself?” Her body shook with laughter . That shaking of her chest particularly would make a person speechless .
Long Chen hastily turned and looked in the other direction to avoid the same awkwardness as last time . To be reprimanded head-on for something like that was quite the blow to his pride .
Seeing that unnatural expression of Long Chen’s, a teasing smile appeared on the woman’s face . But her mood quickly became serious again . “When I saved you last time, it was just a slight effort . But if there really is what I need inside here, I hope you’ll be able to bring out your full power . Then I will owe you a favor . ”
She was extremely solemn . It was obvious that whatever thing she needed was truly important to her . Long Chen nodded . “As long as I have the ability, I will definitely make an all-out effort . ”
Long Chen might not be afraid of other things, but he was afraid of owing people favors . That kind of feeling was extremely uncomfortable .
“Then thank you . Hopefully I’ll be able to make some gains this time . That’s right, I am Yue Xiaoqian . ” That woman suddenly realized she hadn’t even given him her name .
“I’m Long Chen . ”
“Haha, I already know . ”
Perhaps it was because she had obtained Long Chen’s promise, but Yue Xiaoqian’s mood had lightened a great deal now . The two of them slowly walked deeper into the abyss .
“Miss Xiaoqian, do you know anything about this place?”
Yue Xiaoqian shook her head . “I don’t know anything about this place . I’ve searched through several danger regions of the Jiuli secret realm, but I haven’t found anything I want . If I still can’t find anything in this abyss, I can only leave empty handed . ”
“You didn’t come to the secret realm in search of opportunities?” It seemed Yue Xiaoqian’s goal in coming here was different from everyone else’s .
“Correct . My time is limited, and if I still can’t find anything here, I’ll have to immediately leave the secret realm and return to my clan . ” As she carefully advanced, her expression became a bit sad .
There was some kind extremely magical charm that came from Yue Xiaoqian’s body . It made it so others were easily affected by her mood . Seeing that worried frown on her face, Long Chen felt pity and tenderness towards her, and he actually reached out an arm to console her .
But he had only just extended his arm when his sense of alarm suddenly woke him up, and he hastily retrieved his arm, regaining control of his own emotions .
Something bizarre, definitely something bizarre, Long Chen muttered inside . This was completely abnormal . Long Chen had never considered himself to be one of those fellows who would turn into a lackwit who wouldn’t even be able to move in the face of a beautiful woman .
But with Yue Xiaoqian, he constantly felt as if he were being affected by something . It seemed Yue Xiaoqian’s body possessed some kind of magical power that was extremely bizarre .
“Cough, wait, that doesn’t sound right . If the exit to the Jiuli secret realm doesn’t open, how will you leave?” Long Chen suddenly recalled that the exit was closed . It was impossible for her leave .
Yue Xiaoqian smiled mysteriously . “I have my own methods . However, that’s one of my secrets, so I can’t tell you what it is . ”
Although she had refused to answer, it was difficult for anyone to form any anger with her . Long Chen smiled bitterly . This woman had to be a demoness .
“The fiendish aura is growing denser . Be careful,” warned Yue Xiaoqian .
Long Chen didn’t need her warning . Yue Xiaoqian’s light curtain might be able to isolate them from the pressure, but it was unable to block that aura .
That aura was brutal and filled with a desire to ma.s.sacre . It was as if a sinister fiend was staring them in the face . Even Long Chen felt a chill in his bones .
The two of them advanced for over two hours . That fiendish aura grew ever denser . With Long Chen’s powerful Spiritual Strength, he was able to resist it .
Long Chen glanced at Yue Xiaoqian, and saw her expression hadn’t changed at all . She was obviously able to easily resist the invasion of that aura .
That aura was evil to the extreme . People with weak Spiritual Strength would have their minds invaded by that fiendish aura and turned insane .
Long Chen really was unable to comprehend Yue Xiaoqian . In their brief exchange, Long Chen had learned just how terrifying she was . She was definitely not inferior to Yin Luo . In fact, perhaps she was even stronger .
He involuntarily thought of Bai Ling’s warning . The Jiuli secret realm was connected to seven prefectures, and there were countless experts . No one knew how many hidden peak experts were present in the secret realm . Now that he had encountered Yue Xiaoqian, Long Chen trusted Bai Ling’s warning even more .
Buzz…
Yue Xiaoqian’s light curtain had now begun to tremble . The pressure here had grown too strong, and even the light curtain was finding it taxing to resist it .
After over thirty miles, the path suddenly widened . They appeared at a level land .
But when Long Chen saw a huge skeleton lying on the ground, his jaw dropped .
