Chapter 96: Chapter 66 [Gu Qingyi’s Big Move]
Chapter Sixty-Six [Gu Qingyi’s Big Move]
As soon as Chen Yan saw the situation, he immediately felt distressed.
He recognized this place; it was a wild lake in a mountain valley of Zijin Mountain. Locals loved coming here to play in the water during summer—despite repeated government warnings and the lake’s complex water currents that caused numerous drowning incidents every year, some uninformed people still insisted on coming here to swim.
The lake wasn’t large, with a surface area of just a few acres, but the surrounding terrain was open. To bypass the lake and re-enter the forest, one would have to cover at least several hundred meters.
Chen Yan quickened his pace, running along the lakeshore, when he suddenly heard a roar behind him. The monster had also burst out of the forest.
Seeing the monster about a hundred meters behind him, Chen Yan kept running forward, hoping to re-enter the forest and use the same trick to shake off this creature.
But just then, he suddenly heard the lake water churning and a loud splash!
Water sprayed everywhere, and a shadow leaped out of the lake, landing right in the direction of the forest ahead of Chen Yan!
Chen Yan gasped in shock!
Standing in front of him was yet another monster!
Its appearance was about seventy to eighty percent similar to the monster behind him, but its size was even larger!
If the previous monster had a size comparable to a regular person, the one blocking Chen Yan now was essentially like having O’Neal standing in front of him.
What the hell...
Chen Yan’s vision went dark as he cursed inwardly.
I used a Lucky Charm! That should have brought me some good luck!
The giant monster in front opened its mouth and roared at Chen Yan, its jaws full of crooked, sharp fangs—just one look and Chen Yan could tell that a bite from those teeth would be extremely painful!
The monster behind him suddenly slowed down, continuously growling lowly. The giant monster in front lifted its head, revealing a menacing face beneath its tangled hair, its features twisted and seemingly pieced together randomly.
It raised its head and roared at the monster behind Chen Yan repeatedly...
Chen Yan felt a surge of realization... They were communicating.
He took a deep breath and slowly set the girl he was carrying onto the ground.
Sorry... I was just trying to save your life.
Since carrying someone didn’t hinder his use of the Escape Rune Technique or Light Body Talisman, he had planned on saving her if possible.
But now...
Chen Yan lowered the girl.
As long as it didn’t affect him much, Chen Yan didn’t mind saving others. But if his own safety was at risk, he wasn’t that noble.
Facing the possibility of being surrounded by two monsters, whether fighting or escaping, Chen Yan couldn’t afford to worry about her.
He quickly calculated all the spells he knew.
Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman, which had proven effective against monsters—but was already used up.
Interruption Technique—useless!
Lucky Charm—useless!
Law Order·Escape Rune Technique—somewhat useful, could be used to dodge or escape.
Law Order: Body-Stabilizing Technique—somewhat useful.
Law Order·Breaking Rune Technique—useless, since the monster obviously relied on physical attacks.
Other than that... nothing else useful.
Chen Yan immediately realized something: indeed, only actual combat could reveal his problems and make him see himself clearly!
After more than a month of cultivation, he seemed to have learned a lot, but actual combat exposed a fatal flaw: he was severely lacking in offensive means.
Remaining calm under pressure had always been a major advantage of Chen Yan’s character. He was the type who could stay composed and grimly determined in high-stakes situations.
At this moment, although he was certainly scared, it didn’t affect his thinking. Even his trembling hands had steadied. Thoughts flashed through his mind...
He pinched Gu Qingyi’s talisman from his pocket, and with a flow of Primordial Qi at his fingertips, the talisman paper quickly burned into a golden flame...
Gu Qingyi, if you don’t show up, I’m done for!

Finally, the giant monster roared at the smaller monster a few times, and surprisingly, the smaller one retreated a few steps, cowering to the side.
The giant monster opened its claws and slowly approached Chen Yan.
Chen Yan’s eyes sharpened, and he took a deep breath.
Law Order·Escape Rune Technique!
He activated his Primordial Qi to the limit and suddenly rushed towards the giant monster head-on!
In a flash, he covered ten meters!
The monster lifted its head, eyes widening as it roared and opened its claws.
In an instant, Chen Yan saw the monster right in front of him. He was mid-air and shouted, "Law Order: Set!!"
The monster’s body stiffened suddenly, its raised claws stopping mid-swing.
Chen Yan landed, right by the monster’s side, then took another deep breath, continued using the Escape Rune Technique, and dashed past the monster!
Man and monster crossed paths!
Seeing that he had already passed the giant monster, Chen Yan rejoiced!
The plan worked!
The forest was not far ahead. Chen Yan quickly calculated how many more steps he needed to enter the woods...
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind approached from behind. Sensing it, he didn’t hesitate, diving sideways just in time to roll a few times before stopping. Before he could get up, he saw a stone landing on the path he had just been running on.
In the distance, the smaller monster still held two stones it had picked up by the lakeshore, roaring repeatedly at him!
