"If we weren't protected by this light shield, this attack would have killed us ten times over." Qi Shaofeng felt lucky, and the dissatisfaction he had towards Ye Chen was gone.
"Let's not waste any more time. Let's go!"
Carrying the two of them, Ye Chen tapped the ground with his foot and darted towards the outer edge of the jungle.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
The purple-red vines hit on the light shield from time to time, and each attack was powerful enough to break a third of the light shield. Many times, the vines hit on the same spot. Fortunately, the defensive power inside the light shield wasn't static, it was constantly moving, and the damaged parts would be repaired in the next moment, keeping the entire light shield in an absolutely balanced state.
Seeing that the purple-red vines couldn't break the light shield, the mother vine opened its mouth and let out a thigh-thick, dark-purple vine. This vine moved as fast as lightning, and only let out a thunderous boom after it had darted miles away. It was actually a few times faster than the speed of sound.
"Sky Devil Great Palm!"
At this moment of life and death, Murong Qingcheng once again launched an extremely powerful martial skill. Her slim palm struck towards the air along with an ocean-like power.
Boom!
In front of her palm, all the objects within hundreds of meters were lifted into the air and turned into nothingness. Although that dark-purple vine wasn't damaged, it seemed to have fallen into a swamp, and started slowing down. From three times faster than the speed of sound, it slowed down to two times faster than the speed of sound, and then from two times faster to one time faster than the speed of sound.
With blood gushing out from the corner of her mouth, Murong Qingcheng said to Ye Chen, "This is all I can do, the rest is up to you."
"Don't worry!"
Ye Chen nodded. His soul power spread out in two directions, one was the entrance in front of him, and the other one was the movements of the man-eating vines behind him. After half a day of running, they were getting closer and closer to the outer entrance, and there were only ten miles left.
A dim light flashed on his storage ring, and a Red Light Fire Ball appeared in his hand. This Red Light Fire Ball was given to him by the Demon Childe Leng Wuqing. There were three of them in total, and they were extremely powerful. They could even injure a Mid Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist. However, right now, Mid Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists were no longer a threat to Ye Chen, so there was no point for him to keep them.
With a flick of his finger, the Scarlet Fusion Fireball drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed three feet away from Ye Chen. If one looked closely, one would notice that the Scarlet Fusion Fireball was only a hair's breadth away from the light barrier. At this time, Ye Chen shouted, "Explode!"
Rumble!
The blazing flame exploded, but the powerful force did not shatter the light shield. Instead, it caused the light shield to speed up and shoot into the distance like a meteor.
"Good idea!"
Qi Shaofeng and Murong Qingcheng's eyes brightened. Before, they thought that Ye Chen was just lucky, but now, they didn't think so anymore. In such a dangerous situation, he could actually stay so calm, and think of using an external force to increase his speed. Compared to him, they were much more stupid, and only knew how to solve problems with violence.
Using the same method, Ye Chen exploded the remaining two Scarlet Fusion Fireballs one after another. Instantly, his speed was boosted to an unimaginable level. Wherever he passed by, the air would twist intensely, and strong gusts of wind would bring up layers of earth waves, following closely behind the light shield.
"Pop!"
The dark-purple vine finally recovered from the image of the Sky Devil Palm, and once again reached three times the speed of sound, chasing after them.
Five miles!
Three miles!
One mile!
Within dozens of blinks of an eye, the dark-purple vine had shortened from five miles to one mile, and was once again approaching Ye Chen, Murong Qingcheng and Murong Qingcheng.
"Success or failure depends on this."
Ye Chen kept moving, as if the dark-purple vine was nothing to him.
After a blink of an eye.
The dark-purple vine was less than two hundred meters away from the three of them.
Half a blink of an eye.
It was less than fifty meters away.
"Release!"
Ye Chen held the core of the light shield in his hand, and threw it backward!
Shoo!
The three of them flew out of the light shield, and continued to rush toward the entrance one mile away.
Swoosh!
The light shield, which had yet to dissipate, twisted rapidly, and was then pierced through by the dark-purple vine. Its powerful defense only made the dark-purple vine pause for a blink of an eye.
Taking advantage of this blink of an eye, the three of them were less than two hundred meters away from the entrance, and three hundred meters away from the dark-purple vine.
Unfortunately, three hundred meters was only one-third of a blink of an eye for the dark-purple vine. In such a short time, Ye Chen and the other two would definitely not be able to rush out two hundred meters.
Finally, the dark-purple vine pierced through the bodies of the three of them.
No, it was the zhen Qi afterimages that had been pierced through.
It turned out that Ye Chen had performed the Shadow Separating Light Art at the critical moment, and had created three zhen Qi afterimages where he had been standing. His real body had already appeared on the right front with the other two.
The next moment!
The dark-purple vine once again pierced through their zhen Qi afterimages.
Murong Qingcheng and Qi Shaofeng both gasped in shock. They couldn't even imagine how Ye Chen had managed to do that. The dark-purple vine was way too fast, so fast that they couldn't even react. If it were them, they would definitely not be able to perform the zhen Qi afterimages to confuse the man-eating vine.
Of course, they didn't know that Ye Chen had a powerful soul power. Under the detection of his soul power, every single move of the dark-purple vine was under his control. He knew exactly when it would arrive, and when it would be the best time to confuse it.
The man-eating vine was enraged. Over and over again, Ji Hao and Ji Hao had escaped from its attacks, which made it feel depressed and confused.
The sunlight shone on the three of them, and they finally made it out of the jungle.
However, it was not the time to relax yet. Ye Chen activated his zhen Qi to its limit, and darted towards the right front, where there was a rock mountain blocking the way.
Obviously, Ye Chen had been worrying too much. The man-eating vine couldn't appear outside the jungle, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking it.
Whoosh!
Letting go of the two, Ye Chen felt dizzy and nearly fainted.
Within a short distance of tens of miles, he had been fighting against the man-eating vine, struggling on the edge of death. Although he had won in the end, only he himself knew how much energy he had consumed. To be honest, if it were any other Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist, he would have died dozens of times already. There was absolutely no chance for him to make it out of the jungle, not to mention carrying two people.
Beside him, Murong Qingcheng and Qi Shaofeng were staring at Ye Chen as if he was a monster.
"What's wrong?" Ye Chen's voice was hoarse.
Qi Shaofeng gave a bitter smile and said, "Apart from strength, compared to you, I feel like an idiot. How did you do that?"
Ye Chen gave a bitter smile and responded, "If I don't want to die, this is the only way."
"This is the first time I admire someone, but now I have to admire you. You are not that powerful." Murong Qingcheng didn't even try to hide her admiration for Ji Hao.
"Let's get out of here first!"
Calming himself down, Ye Chen didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore.
Hearing Qi Shaofeng, Qi Shaofeng and Qi Shaofeng nodded. They didn't want to come back to this place ever again.
On their way out of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, Ye Chen ran into people from the Long Blade Martial School. However, there were only tens of them left, and all of them seemed to have lost their wits.
Shaking his head, Ye Chen felt lucky for these people. If they had stayed any longer and waited for the man-eating vine to come out, the entire Long Blade Martial School would have been annihilated.
There weren't any demonic beasts in this direction. Half a day later, the three of them left the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range and arrived at the territory controlled by the Long Blade Martial School.
After another half a day, the three of them arrived at the only city near the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range - Luohui City.
Inside a private room of a large restaurant.
The three of them were sitting inside.
"Brother Ye, it's all thanks to you that we survived this time." Qi Shaofeng poured a glass of wine for Ye Chen and said gratefully.
Ye Chen said, "Strictly speaking, it's just a business deal between us, there's no such thing as gratitude."
He had already accepted five hundred thousand low-ranked soul stones, six thousand mid-ranked soul stones, and a mid-ranked storage ring from the two of them. He was already satisfied, and didn't feel that the two of them owed him anything.
"You can't say that. Without you, even if we had all the wealth in the world, we wouldn't be alive to enjoy it." Murong Qingcheng raised her glass and clinked it against Ye Chen's.
"In that case, this meal is my way of thanking you for your kindness."
Picking up his glass, Ye Chen emptied it in one gulp.
The sky was getting dark. After three rounds of drinking, the three of them were a little tired. They said goodbye to each other and went back to their own rooms to rest.
In the guest room.
Ye Chen lied on the soft bed and closed his eyes. Soon, he fell into a deep sleep, and only had a slight trace of consciousness left in his mind.
From yesterday to today, he was too tired.
On the other side, Murong Qingcheng dragged her exhausted body out of the shower and fell into a deep sleep just like Ye Chen. The couple of days of continuous battling had taken a huge toll on her. Although she did not seem to have done much in the end, it was just that she had been startled for a while, which had drained her even more mentally.
In the middle of the night.
Ye Chen was the first one to wake up.
"I feel much better now. This is the first time I've felt so tired!"
Getting up from the bed, Ye Chen stretched his body, opened the window and enjoyed the night breeze.
After a long while, Ye Chen closed the window and thought, 'I haven't checked the white key yet, I wonder what it can do.'
Taking out the arm-length white key, Ye Chen stared at it without blinking his eyes.
Seeing that he couldn't see anything, Ye Chen injected his Zhen Qi into the key.
Buzz!
A white light shone, and a line of ancient characters appeared in the air.
"Emperor's Tomb, Aries Constellation!"
Frowning, Ye Chen couldn't understand what this key had to do with the Aries Constellation. 'Could it be the Aries Constellation in the sky? But, this is not that world, this is the true spirit continent!' 'Perhaps, it's just that the name is the same, but the content is different, and can't be compared.'
Excluding the Aries Constellation, Ye Chen had some thoughts about the Emperor's Tomb, which was probably the tomb of some powerful warrior. And this white key was indeed the key to open the tomb. No, it should be one of the keys. The map that he had gotten was not complete, it was only a piece of it.
Judging from this, only by collecting all the keys would he be able to find the tomb, and open it.
After a slight disappointment, Ye Chen didn't care too much about it. The biggest gain this time should be the training method for one of the movements of the Void Shattering Finger Art. If he could train it to the entry level, he would be able to beat all the other powerful warriors of the same generation. Once he trained it to the completion level, its power would be unimaginable. In his mind, the scene of that huge finger shattering the demon beast was still vivid.
"The Void Shattering Finger is too hard to train. I won't be able to make any progress in a short period of time. I should take a look at that high-rank Earth Realm manual first." In the second layer of the goat head mountain, Ye Chen had gotten a lot of manuals, and the best one among them was a high-rank Earth Realm manual. He didn't have time to read it before, but now, he could study it.
