Meanwhile, Long Chen and Xia Duoduo were fleeing for their lives, with Liu Teng and a group of his subordinates in relentless pursuit.
Xia Duoduo’s expression turned grave. At this rate, their pursuers would soon catch up. She had to find a way to resolve the situation.
"Master, you go first!" Xia Duoduo said to Long Chen. "I’ll cover our retreat!"
"No! If we go, we go together! I won’t..."
Long Chen was worried, but before he could finish speaking, Xia Duoduo struck his shoulder with a gentle force. He lost control and was sent flying.
Once Long Chen was a safe distance away, Xia Duoduo stopped and turned, staring coldly at Liu Teng and his men. She thrust a palm forward, and a myriad of Palm Shadows blasted toward Liu Teng and the others. Liu Teng and his men acted in unison, dissolving the Palm Shadows she had released.
"Split up," Liu Teng instructed the men behind him.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the command, some World King Palace members locked their gaze on the direction Long Chen had fled, intent on continuing the pursuit.
"Don’t even think about it!" Xia Duoduo shouted coldly. "If you’ve got the guts, then come at me! You people from the World King Palace are nothing special. I’ve already killed quite a few of you, so I don’t mind adding a few more to the count."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Xia Duoduo struck at those who were trying to pursue Long Chen!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Most of them were War King Realm experts. Although Xia Duoduo was internally injured, she could still handle them. As she took action, those who had been about to pursue Long Chen were all driven back.
"Vile creature! You’re seeking death!" Liu Teng let out a cold shout as his figure flashed and vanished on the spot. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Xia Duoduo.
With a single punch, he unleashed a terrifying and formidable force that surged toward her.
PFFT!
Xia Duoduo was blasted backward, the qi and blood roiling inside her. She instantly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"To think you could stop us... you’re delusional!" Liu Teng sneered, then ordered his subordinates, "I’ll handle this one. You go after that guy!"
"Yes!"
After hearing this, his subordinates quickly gave chase in the direction Long Chen had fled.
Just as Xia Duoduo was about to intercept them, a powerful gust of wind suddenly whistled toward her from the front. She had no choice but to turn and block the attack unleashed by Liu Teng.
BANG!
Xia Duoduo was once again forced back several steps, her face turning deathly pale. Her opponent’s strength was at the Warlord Realm Second Layer, which was already above hers. Now that she was severely injured, she was no match for Liu Teng.
She didn’t dare continue fighting him. Instead, she chose to dodge, heading in Long Chen’s direction to stop the World King Palace members from pursuing him.
By now, Long Chen had been sent flying over a thousand meters and had just managed to stop himself.
He immediately activated his Divine Demon Eye! His left eye turned pitch black, representing the Demon Path, while his right eye turned stark white for the Divine Path. His gaze could now penetrate any obstacle.
He could clearly see everything that was unfolding ahead. Seeing Xia Duoduo in danger, Long Chen grew worried and wanted to rush forward to relieve some of the pressure on her.
But just as Long Chen was about to act, a figure suddenly appeared and firmly grasped his hand. He was about to shake free when he realized the person beside him was none other than Chu Lingjun.
"What are you doing here?" he asked in surprise.
Before Chu Lingjun could speak, the members of the World King Palace descended upon them.
Chu Lingjun swung the Gold Chant Sword, unleashing a blast of Sword Qi that shot straight toward them.
"Go!" Chu Lingjun immediately shouted to Long Chen.
Just as they were about to retreat, an expert at the Ninth Level of War King Realm appeared before them at extreme speed, blocking their path.
The man’s eyes were cold as he stared intently at Long Chen and Chu Lingjun. He sneered, "Now, let’s see where you can run."
