Chapter 824: Martial Sage Deathsworn Warriors; Surrounded

Suddenly, Ying Qiong remembered Xiao Chen. She looked to where he was but saw no one there. Before the old woman came in, Xiao Chen already left silently.

Seeing this scene, Ying Qiong could not help but curse in her heart. To think this lady still thought about him! This fellow bolted even faster than a rabbit.

“Whoosh!”

Ying Qiong jumped out of the window. This place happened to be behind the Heavenly Water Inn, a desolate place where few people passed.

The moment Ying Qiong landed, she saw Xiao Chen standing in front, frowning. She quickly took a few steps forward and mercilessly started hitting Xiao Chen.

After venting some of her frustration, she asked in a huff, “Aren’t you able to run very fast? Why are you not running anymore?!”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and did not reply. He only looked around. Ying Qiong followed suit and saw that all the nearby roofs had a masked man standing on them.

These masked men were dressed entirely in black with a purple venomous scorpion embroidered on the chest of their clothes, and only their eyes were exposed. They all held weapons, and their gazes were cold like they were dead.

Ying Qiong sucked in a deep breath of cold air as she stared fixedly at the purple venomous scorpion. She muttered, “These are the Martial Sage deathsworn warriors of my Ying Clan. Ying Fan, you are good. You really dared to take action.”

Xiao Chen’s expression was extremely unsightly as well. He quickly tried to think of countermeasures. There were a total of five of such people with cultivations of varying standards within Medial Grade Martial Sage.

If there was only one, Xiao Chen would have no problem fleeing on his own. If he worked with Ying Qiong, they might even be able to defeat him.

However, there were five Medial Grade Martial Sages. Furthermore, they were deathsworn warriors that the Ying Clan had invested a lot of wealth to raise. There was no need to think about this; there was no way he could go against them. If all of them landed one killing move on him each, no matter how strong his physical body was, it would turn into a meat paste.

However, Xiao Chen did not have much fear in his heart. He had the will clone of the Supreme Sky Emperor. In times of danger, it would come out automatically. It would be able to kill the five before him easily.

However, Xiao Chen could use the will clone only once. The Supreme Sky Emperor spent a lot of effort and energy to condense this will clone. He would not be able to condense a second one for him.

It would be Xiao Chen’s final trump card. Unless he had no other choice, he absolutely would not use it.

Xiao Chen’s lips curled up in a gentle smile. “Miss Ying, this time, you really dragged me into trouble. How about we split up here? I will not hold you accountable for this inconvenience.”

Clearly, this group of people was here to kill Ying Qiong. This attack was due to an internal conflict of the Ying Clan. Such matters were not rare. For the sake of competing to be the heir of the clan, it was inevitable that large factions would sometimes go to extremes.

A Sovereign Noble Clan that had survived for a long time would have even more benefits. Hence, such matters would be even rifer.

If the two split up, the pressure each would face would be significantly less. Their chances of escaping would improve considerably.

After Xiao Chen said this, an electric light flashed under his feet. Then he leaped into the air. However, a certain fragrance came from behind him. Before he could dodge, a weight landed on his back.

A pair of arms clung around Xiao Chen’s neck; it was Ying Qiong hanging on to him from behind.

Before anyone could say anything, Xiao Chen used the explosive speed of Thunder Dragon Steps and broke through the Martial Sages’ encirclement. Five strong attacks surged towards him along with a strong berserk wind.

Each of these attacks was significant. If any of them landed, Xiao Chen would not find it easy to bear. He maintained an absolute calm as he executed Thunder Dragon Steps at full power. As electric light flashed, he traveled three kilometers with one step.

The five black-clad men gave chase unhurriedly, moving up and down as they sent out various attacks in combination, launching them continuously at Xiao Chen.

Even though Xiao Chen tried to flee at full speed, he had to keep changing directions to dodge the attacks coming from behind. Furthermore, he still had to carry a girl on his back. Hence, his speed dropped by one kilometer a step.

Now, he could only move two kilometers per step. The five people behind them maintained a tight chase, attacking him with powerful Martial Techniques.

The five black-clad men shot all sorts of resplendent multicolored lights into the air, causing space to fluctuate and form ripples spreading out.

The shock waves pulverized the buildings in the city.

Clearly, the mastermind of this ambush had planned this out long ago. Along the way, Xiao Chen did not see a single person at all. Most likely, this entire area of the city was sealed off.

For the mastermind to have managed this, it definitely had to be someone in the upper echelons of the Ying Clan. That person had steeled his heart and gone all in to kill Ying Qiong.

The five men behind closed in on them. Now, Xiao Chen could no longer dodge as easily. Some of the attacks even brushed by his shoulders.

“Miss Ying, how long are you going to hold on to me? If you still do not come down, I will have to fling you off.” Xiao Chen felt helpless about this beauty on his back. He had never seen such a carefree girl before.

Ying Qiong’s hot figure pressed tightly against Xiao Chen. Any man would react to this, so Xiao Chen ended up enduring bitterly.

When Ying Qiong heard his complaint, she could not help but cling to Xiao Chen even tighter. She said anxiously, “If not for trying to help you keep your cover, this lady would not have brought only two guards with me in the first place. Whatever you say, you have to take responsibility for this.”

Naturally, Xiao Chen did not believe Ying Qiong. After narrowly dodging an attack, he said with a cold expression, “Come down. If not, I will really get rough.”

Ying Qiong smiled faintly and squirmed gently behind Xiao Chen. Her action instantly caused a big problem. He could distinctly feel two full, well-developed lumps rubbing against him.

Xiao Chen lost focus and lost control of his Quintessence, falling from the air.

“Hehe, Young Master Xiao, let’s see how rough can you get.” Ying Qiong tilted her head slightly and blew a breath of hot air at Xiao Chen’s face. “Whether you believe it or not, today’s matter is your fault. If not for trying to protect your secret, I would not have brought only two guards. No matter what you say, you have to take responsibility. Forget about trying to leave me behind.”

Xiao Chen took in a deep breath and slowly descended from the air. He gently drifted down and landed on the ground. He said calmly, “Alright, I can’t endure it anymore. You can come down. I guarantee your safety today.”

Ying Qiong shook her head vigorously like her head was a rattle. She declared, “I’m not coming down. Never! The moment I come down, you will leave me behind. How can I be a match for five Medial Grade Martial Sages?!”

Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. He grasped her wrists with his hands and gently pried them apart. He said softly, “Come down. Since I already promised you, I will definitely keep you safe.”

For some unknown reason, maybe it was the sincerity or perhaps Xiao Chen’s direct personality, his words sounded very convincing.

He continued prying gently and pulled Ying Qiong’s hands apart. Then he put her down and said, “Stand behind me and don’t do anything.”

After that, Xiao Chen turned around and looked coldly at the five people quickly flying over. He patted his chest, and the Void Projection Painting appeared in his palm.

His actions stunned Ying Qiong, filling her with some horror. Why did Xiao Chen stop? Facing five Medial Grade Martial Sages was no different from committing suicide.

Just when she wanted to step forward to stop Xiao Chen, his indifferent orders reached her.

“Don’t move. Just stand there.”

“Hu chi!”

A surging icy sword Qi tore through the air and spread out. Everywhere it passed, snow fell. The air turned frigid, so cold that it induced shivering.

Before the sword Qi arrived, a cold wind whistled in already. A chill spread out from Xiao Chen’s feet, moving towards his chest and freezing his arms and legs, making it hard for them to move.

Xiao Chen’s Heavenly Sage Laws surged around, flowing like a purple electric river all over his body. They thoroughly eliminated all the coldness in his body.

He flipped his hand, and the Void Projection Painting unfurled. A red light flashed, and a scarlet lotus flame leaped out of the painting into his palm, clashing with that cold sword Qi.

According to legend, the Scarlet Blood Frost Flame was one of the evilest flames in the world. Although this was just a copy, it contained the Scarlet Blood Frost Flame’s essence. However, its might was significantly smaller.

“Pu ci!” The scarlet lotus flower immediately stuck onto the surging icy sword Qi and turned into a bloodlike membrane that completely covered the sword Qi.

The frost flame quickly permeated the icy sword Qi, assimilating it in the blink of an eye. Then the membrane turned into scarlet specks floating in the air and swiftly reassembled into the image of a scarlet lotus.

Xiao Chen ignored the shocked black-clad men. He pointed with his finger, and the Scarlet Blood Frost Flame turned into a Fire Spirit to delay the other party.

He estimated that with the Scarlet Blood Frost Flame’s current rank, if it formed a lone Fire Spirit, it would be about as strong as a half-Sage but with almost no weakness.

Without the suppression of a pure Yang flame, even a Medial Grade Martial Sage would have to spend a lot of effort to kill this Fire Spirit, which would delay him for some time.

Before the black-clad men could think, two beams of light shot out of Xiao Chen’s eyes and formed a Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram overhead. The two beams chased each other quickly and materialized Yinyang, four divisions, and the eight trigrams.

“Bang! Bang!”

Two strong attacks struck this Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram giving off a resplendent golden light. A loud sound came from it.

Xiao Chen felt like a large gap appeared in his pool of Mental Energy, like an enormous hole opened in a dam, allowing water to gush out.

However, he managed to block these two attacks. Furthermore, the attacks rebounded at an even more horrifying speed at these two black-clad men.

The killing moves had flown very quickly. Not expecting their own Martial Techniques to rebound at them, two Martial Sages got sent flying over four kilometers by their own Martial Techniques.

Xiao Chen did not stop moving. His expression did not change at all. The Void Projection Painting moved slightly, and an arm came out from within and instantly enlarged.

The Emperor’s Might of an absolute sovereign came from that arm. It gently smacked a black-clad man that came charging in, who immediately vomited blood.

After this attack, the arm quickly shrank and returned to the Void Projection Painting. Xiao Chen’s Mental Energy was now drained. The Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram above his head vanished and returned to his eyes.

“One more left!”

He had knocked back four Medial Grade Martial Sages in a few breaths. Ying Qiong was utterly stunned when she saw this scene. However, one last person succeeded in pushing his way forward.

In close combat, with that black-clad man’s strength, even if he could not quickly overwhelm Xiao Chen, he would have no problem delaying him. Once the others recovered, only death remained.

Thinking of this, Ying Qiong could not help but pale. A wooden umbrella appeared in her hand, as she was about to charge forward.
