"Stop, donât run!"
Chen Jie didnât expect it at all, this Prince Qi is so vicious, wanting his life, and when unable to kill him, actually sent an expert from the Molten Furnace Realm to take him down. Truly, he wonât stop until he achieves his goal.
Just now, in that situation, Chen Jie really only had one path: to escape for his life.
The army had just retreated from the valley, the formation was disorganized, and it could not immediately restore combat strength. This was something Chen Jie needed to improve.
According to the Wu Muâs Legacy, the strongest Yue Army back then, even in the face of landslides, could still organize their formation in the first instance, hence their combat prowess was so formidable.
While Chen Jie had his own understanding of Wu Muâs Legacy and even had done some research.
But the Left Army under Chen Jie still lacked a lot. For Chen Jie to make significant development, he needs long-term training of troops.
And just experiencing everything in the valley, currently, in a short period, the combat power of the Left Army is lacking. It was impossible to form a Single Line Formation and condense the Array Soul to assist Chen Jie in battle before that Molten Furnace expert attacked him.
Moreover, Ni Wenjun was controlled by the Kunlun Sect Leader Chang Xuzi, unable to move, and couldnât assist Chen Jie against their enemy.
On the other hand, Zhao Pusheng had freed himself, but expecting him to help Chen Jiusi against the enemy, if he didnât kick him while heâs down, Chen Jie would be grateful.
Ding Pulong might help him, but unfortunately, he is too weak.
Like himself, he is at the Dragon Realm, but even two people at the Dragon Realm facing one Molten Furnace expert stand no chance of victory at all.
So there was no way out. The only possible way to survive was to run. If the opponent wasnât skilled in Qinggong, with Chen Jieâs Thunderbolt Step along with the stamina from Chang Chun Skill, Chen Jie felt he might be able to shake him off.
Thus, Chen Jie immediately turned and ran, heading directly towards the deep mountains.
Watching Chen Jie run, the march commander ordered to chase after Chen Jie, and soon the two disappeared from the main forceâs sight.
Meanwhile, the battle in the valley grew more intense, and Li Siqi swung his long blade, whipping up endless Wind Gang.
Peng Yingyuâs great Buddha, like an apocalyptic giant Buddha, with one palm strike, sent out a wave formed by golden Sanskrit, rushing towards Mo Ranâs world behind Li Siqi.
Both sides exchanged blows, the mountains and rivers shook, the sun and moon lost their light. It wasnât clear how long it lasted, but the cracks on Peng Yingyuâs great Buddha became more apparent.
Peng Yingyu was indeed seriously injured this time. Just after a while of fighting, the golden body cracked, yet seeing Peng Yingyuâs golden body crack, Li Siqi surprisingly didnât seize the opportunity to strike forcefully, but rather withdrew his hand, no longer attacking aggressively.
"Monk Peng, letâs stop here. Continuing this fight wonât do either of us any good."
Li Siqi spoke.
Peng Yingyu withdrew his palm at this moment, looked at Li Siqi, and said, "Alright, we shall battle again another day!"
Li Siqi said, "Okay, there will be plenty of opportunities to battle again!"
With these words, Peng Yingyu and Li Siqi each retracted their Divine Skills, regrouping their troops, and separated.
Watching Peng Yingyuâs side walk away, Li Siqiâs centurion Ba Tu approached him and said, "Prince, Peng Yingyuâs golden body is breaking, why not take the chance to take his life!"
Hearing this, Li Siqi looked at Ba Tu and said, "Take his life, have you heard of a cornered animal fighting back?"
Ba Tu was stunned and looked at Li Siqi. Li Siqi said, "The golden body cracking, the Dao body destroyed, that is nearly a fatal wound. At this time, Peng Yingyu is like an injured fierce tiger. If I donât force him, he may die from illness, bleed out and die."
"But if I insist on determining a winner with him, there is a high probability he will drag me down with him. Am I crazy to force him into mutual destruction with me!"
Hearing this, Ba Tu said, "Understood, then Prince, whatâs our next move?"
Prince Qi said, "Advance, in front, about twenty miles, should be Feng Family Village. I estimate people from other sects are almost there too. Letâs just go over and see the situation. The people of Feng Family Village will not obediently hand over the Witch Godâs Inheritance to us!"
Ba Tu said, "If they dare not give it, we will flatten Feng Family Village."
Prince Qi said, "The methods of the Witch Clan, though peculiar, are not without solutions. Actually, what we should be careful about now is our competitors."
Ba Tu replied, "Isnât it just Peng Yingyu?"
Prince Qi said, "Not just Peng Yingyu, Fourth Brother reported that this time, the Zoroastrian Sectâs Yushan Shangren is also coming to contend for the Witch God Inheritance. Moreover, the Sichuan Tang Sectâs Master, I heard, also plans to fight for an opportunity for his juniors."
Ba Tu said, "Sichuan Tang Sect? Their Sect Leader is only fifth on the Earth List, not as strong as Chang Xuzi. What qualification do they have to compete with the Prince for the Witch God Inheritance."
Prince Qi said, "The Tang Sect Leader is the Second Master of the Tang Sect, not their leader, the Master. Their Tang Family Master was the previous leader of the Tang Sect. Before retiring to seclusion, he was among the Heavenly List. Itâs just that after going into retirement for many years, without showing himself, some suspect he might have already died. Plus, as we emerged, he was edged out of the Heavenly List, though not included in the Earth List either."
"Because his strength far exceeds the Earth List, he is in the Melt God Realm."
Prince Qi said, "This Witch God Inheritance is not so easily obtained this time."
Said this, he looked toward Ba Tu and said, "Ba Tu, where is Third Brother?"
Ba Tu replied, "Went chasing after Chen Jiusi."
Hearing this, Prince Qi gently nodded and said, "Oh, this time, this Chen Jiusi indeed gave me quite a shock. Itâs a pity he couldnât be used by me. Since thatâs the case, let him perish."
