Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 32: If You Don’t Want to Die, Don’t Move

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: If You Don’t Want to Die, Don’t Move

Chu Feng felt his lapels were a bit wet, seemingly from when the collision occurred, and the blood of the black-clothed person had sprayed onto his clothes. He instinctively touched it and brought it close to his nose to sniff.

A strong stench of blood assaulted his nostrils.

The person had indeed been injured.

"Hey, are you alright?" Chu Feng could vaguely see the black-clothed person lying on the ground, motionless.

If he had accidentally killed someone, that would be terrible.

He approached to check the black-clothed person’s breathing and just as he stretched out his finger, a sudden alarming change occurred. The black-clothed person seized his wrist in a grip like iron pincers, causing Chu Feng to let out a stifled grunt of pain.

In face of danger, Chu Feng instinctively fought back.

He reached for the Flame Burst Pill he kept for self-protection.

Although the pill could only kill the weakest of Sword Masters, this black-clothed person was seriously injured, and their defensive capabilities must have diminished significantly. Chu Feng was confident that he could either kill or severely injure her.

At least escaping should pose no problem.

"If you don’t want to die, you’d better not make any rash moves!" It was indeed a woman, her voice sweet and pleasing to the ear, yet somewhat cold.

Her reaction was equally swift, pinching Chu Feng’s wrist and exerting a terrifying Dark Force.

Chu Feng grunted again, his arm going numb.

After being put at a disadvantage twice, his anger flared.

"Burn!"

The Nine Yang Strange Fire burned towards the palm of the black-clothed woman under his control.

"Ugh!" She immediately released Chu Feng and shook her hand in horror after being burned by the Nine Yang Strange Fire.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng successfully freed himself and firmly grasped the Flame Burst Pill.

Instantly, the black-clothed woman sensed immense danger.

She could hardly believe that a random encounter with an ordinary young Second Order Swordsman in the dark night could be so formidable.

"I’ve always been one to respond well to gentle approach but not to coercion, you’d better not force me to send you on your way! Even though you’re a woman!"

Chu Feng’s voice was indifferent and cold, revealing a faint regal presence.

A dying camel is still bigger than a horse!

Even if reborn in a weaker body, the memories and combat experience of the Alchemy Venerate remained. He might not be much against strong individuals like the Panlong Crown Prince.

But dealing with this seriously injured black-clothed woman would be no trouble at all.

"What are you holding in your hand?" The black-clothed woman was upset, staggering to her feet; she no longer wanted to get entangled with Chu Feng.

But to proceed, she would need to approach Chu Feng.

This could easily cause a misunderstanding, making Chu Feng think she intended to attack him.

"A high-dose Flame Burst Pill! Enough to send you to meet King Yan, don’t believe me? Try it if you dare!" Chu Feng glared at her coldly.

"The Imperial Guards from the Imperial Palace are almost here, step aside! We will go our separate ways!" the black-clothed woman said, spitting out blood again as she spoke.

Her words greatly startled Chu Feng.

"You’ve provoked the Imperial Guards of the Imperial Palace?" This was no joking matter, and Chu Feng inwardly cursed his bad luck. Though he had no dealings with this black-clothed woman, being seen in the same alley with her at this time.

It was all too easy for the Imperial Guards to mistake him as an accomplice of the black-clothed woman.

"Scared now? Then hurry up and get out of the way!" Although her expression was not visible, Chu Feng was certain that the black-clothed woman was looking at him with scorn.

What a joke, he, the Eternal Life Pill Master, afraid of a few guards from the Jianyun Dynasty?

Even the Jianyun Emperor did not warrant his concern.

Instinctively, he stepped aside to let the black-clothed woman pass, but his hand still clutched the Flame Burst Pill tightly.

Just then, the sounds of galloping horses and shouting could be heard in the distance.

"That female assassin can’t have gotten far! Split up and chase her!"

"Anyway, the Imperial City is sealed off, she won’t be able to escape!"

Flickering torchlights were rapidly closing in. The Imperial Guards of the Imperial Palace were not only well-equipped but also powerful, riding on nothing but the finest horses.

They would probably catch up in the blink of an eye.

Thump!

The black-clothed woman, like a startled bird, dashed forward a few steps and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Playing that trick again?

Chu Feng had nearly been captured by her just moments ago, and this time he was determined not to be fooled so easily.

After four or five seconds, there was still no movement from her.

The pursuing Imperial Guards were getting even closer.

Chu Feng grew hesitant, his fingertips revealing a wisp of orange flame. It was his Nine Yang Strange Fire.

Since he had only recently subdued it, the Abnormal Fire was still of low grade, with limited energy and power.

However, it was more than enough for providing light.

This time, Chu Feng finally saw her clearly. She was dressed in a figure-hugging black outfit, quite alluring.

She wore a half-mask over her face, obscuring her true appearance.

One could only see that her skin was exceptionally fair, as she lay motionless on the ground.

Blood kept oozing from the corner of her mouth, and it didn’t seem like she was feigning it.

It was highly likely that she was severely injured, unable to hold on any longer, and had fallen unconscious.

Chu Feng initially wanted to walk away, but a part of him couldn’t bear to do so.

"Forget it, saving a life is more virtuous than building a seven-story pagoda! Helping the enemy of my enemy is helping myself!"

Once Chu Feng had made up his mind, he immediately secured the Flame Burst Pill and picked her up in his arms.

Then, spreading his legs, he sprinted forward.

Being a local, he was very familiar with the terrain.

Chu Feng knew his strength was limited. Carrying her, he definitely couldn’t run far or fast. The best solution was to find a nearby place for her to hide.

Her body was exceptionally soft, as if she had no bones at all.

The pursuers were getting increasingly closer, but fortunately, Chu Feng had finally reached his destination. It was a very small Land God Temple.

Chu Feng carried her into the temple without a word.

The chasing Imperial Guards might search this place at any moment. He immediately hid both of them behind the curtain under the altar, a very cramped space.

"Mmh..." The black-clothed woman actually woke up.

She quickly realized something was wrong, squeezed into a tight space with that damned rascal.

"If you dare to take liberties with me, I’ll kill you..." The black-clothed woman, both embarrassed and enraged, was about to make a move to kill Chu Feng.

"If you don’t want to die, it’s best not to move! A gentleman does not take advantage of others’ peril, if I wanted to do something to you, I would’ve done it already!"

"Would I still be waiting until now?"

Chu Feng lowered his voice and warned her beside her ear.

She recognized the voice — it was the formidable young man who had had a confrontation with her in the alley.

"If you dare to have any ill intentions, even at the risk of being discovered, I will kill you! Anyway, my Heart Meridian is shattered, I won’t live long anyway!" The black-clothed woman coldly warned Chu Feng.

In the Imperial Palace, where experts abound, it was not a place one broke into easily.

Although she had escaped, she was seriously injured by a palm strike from a master within the palace, which broke her Heart Meridian.
