Jiang Chen continued forward, and every time he pa.s.sed a new area, a bunch of Blood Clan members would swarm him. Soon, however, he had killed so many of them they calmed down. Even though the Blood Clan members had gone crazy from being imprisoned here, they still retained their instincts and would avoid danger like most living beings.
“This guy’s power seems boundless, and it seems as if he never gets tired.”
“People who fight like him will sooner or later suffer an accident.”
The four people following Jiang Chen had almost exhausted their patience. And if Jiang Chen hadn’t been the sole person who could teach them the lost techniques, they would have attacked him long ago.
“He’s proceeding toward the desert.”
All of a sudden, a desolate land appeared before them. It had a strong wind, which was blowing its yellow sand into the sky. Wan Sheng and the others hesitated for a minute, but, in the end, decided to continue following Jiang Chen. The desert wasn’t really big. However, many powerful Blood Clan members were asleep beneath the sand, which was why this whole area was dangerous. It could be said that Wan Sheng and the others gave their all in order to discover the lost techniques. They were actually more worried about Jiang Chen than about themselves, because it was unknown whether a Star Venerable could bear this.
After a short while, a black whirlwind appeared in the distance. As they approached it, they discovered that the whirlwind was filled with Blood Clan members. A noise of fighting emanated from the whirlwind, and they could see dazzling energy waves were flowing there. It seemed as if whoever was inside the whirlwind wouldn’t persist for long.
“Does he want to intervene in this?”
When Wan Sheng witnessed Jiang Chen flying toward the whirlwind, he was quite surprised.
“He’s really fond of meddling in others’ business. But this is okay. It will give us an opportunity,” Xie Wanting chuckled. She had almost gotten fed up with this pursuit. But now she quickly became quite spirited.
Jiang Chen really did want to intervene like those four people thought. He pulled out his Red Cloud Sword, and a fire dragon appeared, advancing with his sword. When the sword and the dragon approached the Blood Clan members near the whirlwind, they were all melted. Then Jiang Chen charged inside the whirlwind, where he witnessed two young women. They were both ten-star experts!
The two women were now in a sorry state and had almost exhausted all their power. They had almost succ.u.mbed to despair, and they were overjoyed when they saw Jiang Chen. But after discerning his Realm Level, their expressions became grave.
“Friend, many thanks for your help. Please use your fire to open up a path, so that we can break out of there,” one of the women said.
“There are many Blood Clan members in the desert, and such a plan won’t be realistic until we can break out of here and charge to the outermost layer in a second.” Jiang Chen was aware that they were worried about his Realm Level. “When I use a sword move next time, you should quickly leave at full speed.”
Upon hearing this, the two women were taken aback, and they mistakenly a.s.sumed that Jiang Chen wanted to stay to obstruct their pursuers and win time for them.
“If we have to leave, we will leave together.” They weren’t willing to let a stranger sacrifice himself for them.
Wan Shen and his three companions, who were outside, started fidgeting, as they observed the 10,000 Blood Clan members in the whirlwind. The number of Blood Clan members there exceeded by far the amount that Jiang Chen had killed during his whole journey. What was more critical was that they understood how to form a whirlwind. This was one of the Blood Clan’s battle tactics, and it was only Blood Clan members who could use it.
“Please don’t say anything else. If you stay here, I can’t use my powers fully.” Jiang Chen felt that since the women weren’t far from him he would end up harming them if he used the flames. As Jiang Chen’s voice echoed out, he unsheathed the Heavenly Fault Sword and used the Wind and Lightning Sword Strike to make an opening.
“Leave!” Jiang Chen shouted angrily.
Upon witnessing his current appearance, the two women didn’t say anything else and flew out one after the other.
“Big sister, do you know him?” After they had left the whirlwind, the two women heaved sighs of relief and the younger one questioned the other.
“I was about to ask you whether he had come for you.” Wan Ruoxi’s face was filled with confusion.
Bang!
Before the two women understood what had happened, a loud explosion echoed from the whirlwind, and raging flames erupted out of it. The whirlwind exploded, and all the Blood Clan members in it were turned to ashes.
When the two women witnessed such a sight, they were greatly shocked. They definitely didn’t expect that Jiang Chen possessed such might, and they finally understood why Jiang Chen had asked them to leave. If they hadn’t left, they would have had the same end as the Blood Clan members.
Jiang Chen then walked out of the raging flames. Wan Ruoxi sized him up and realized that she didn’t know him. When she was about to come up with something to say to him, she realized that her little sister was looking in a daze at him, and she was surprised to discover that her gaze was filled with affection.
“Those are the Wan family sisters.”
“Those two women are really daring. It is crazy to run into the desert.”
“If Tian Chen hadn’t come here, they would have suffered a tragic death. Wouldn’t the Demon Palace have gone crazy then?”
Wan Sheng and his three companions, who a.s.sumed that they would have to intervene, were disappointed once again. They quickly hid their trails, and then they looked at the two women, wearing odd looks.
“This guy is really lucky.”
This was how these four people a.s.sessed Jiang Chen, who had just saved two people. The Wan family sisters were anything but simple, and actually they could be compared to Sacred Lords. But Jiang Chen didn’t really care about the two women’s status. However, he did find them quite pretty. The older one had a pretty face, a tall figure, and was quite beautiful. The woman next to her seemed more immature, more innocent and pure. Her cheeks were now flushed, and many men would want to dote on her.
“Young master, many thanks for your help,” Wan Ruoxi strode forward and spoke.
“It was no bother. This desert is quite dangerous for Star Venerables. You shouldn’t stay here,” Jiang Chen said.
There was nothing inappropriate in his words, but the one speaking, Jiang Chen, was just a nine-star Star Venerable. This was why these two ten-star experts found it quite weird.
“Okay, we were just trying to take a shortcut and didn’t expect to run into such a large number of Blood Clan members,” Wan Ruoxi said.
“Well? Where were you planning to go?” Jiang Chen asked.
“My big sister wants to see the saint,” Wan Ruoxian summoned her courage and spoke. But she still didn’t dare to look at Jiang Chen.
“It’s a Saint Aura. Did you see such a phenomenon recently?” Wan Ruoxi was displeased, and she corrected what her younger sister had said.
“I saw it.” Jiang Chen stroked his chin and revealed a helpless smile.
However, before he had figured out a way to question them about this matter, a shocking aura emanated from the desert beneath their feet. It wasn’t only them who were stunned. The expressions of Wan Shen and his three companions, who had been hiding nearby, changed drastically.
Everyone could see that the desert’s surface was moving like flowing water.
“Let’s run away quickly! It’s a Hibernator!” The pretty faces of the Wan family sisters turned pale, and they both pulled on Jiang Chen and started running away.
“This Hibernator isn’t a being a Star Venerable can deal with.”
“We have a chance!” Meanwhile, the eyes of Wan Shen and his three companions lit up.
“In case another incident doesn’t occur, we can deal together with a Hibernator. But it depends on whether you are willing to take risks,” Wan Sheng questioned the other three people.
“We have already followed him up to here, and I don’t want to go back again,” Xie Wanting replied, without giving this matter any consideration.
The other man and woman didn’t have any objections, and they both nodded.
“It’s good, this time…” Before Wan Sheng could finish his words, he witnessed that Jiang Chen didn’t run away. Instead, he waited where he stood, motionless.
“It isn’t possible, is it? Is it possible for him to kill it?”
The four people looked at each other, and they all could see the surprise in each others’ eyes.
