Chapter 384: Chapter 60: Certain Death, an Opportunity!

"Luo Cheng!"

The Blood Eagle chased after Luo Cheng relentlessly.

Chen Lingyu’s face turned pale with worry.

That man was clearly dangerous, a swordsman at the Middle Stage of the Awakening Vein Realm!

How could Luo Cheng possibly escape such a pursuit?

If caught, his fate would be death, without a doubt!

Unfortunately, her realm was too low; she could do nothing to help!

"Elder Xue Yun..."

Chen Lingyu turned to Xue Yun, pleading with her eyes.

"Rest assured, Luo Cheng is favored by fate. Peng Shan, you protect them; I’ll go take a look!"

Xue Yun nodded slightly to Peng Shan, her figure flickered, darting into the dense forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The Skywind Condor clashed with the remaining black-clad man.

This black-clad man was a powerful practitioner at the Third Layer Peak of the Awakening Vein Realm, his strength should have been evenly matched with the Skywind Condor.

Unfortunately, the Skywind Condor was severely injured, now relying only on its strong Demon Beast physique to recklessly fight back, facing danger at every turn!

"Fall back!"

Elder Peng Shan instructed Chen Lingyu and the others to retreat from the battleground, then charged toward the black-clad man with his blade.

"Heh heh, if you wish to die, then I’ll gladly oblige!"

The black-clad man’s long, glimmering eyes exuded sly malice. Seeing Elder Peng Shan approaching, he sneered coldly and unleashed his Martial Soul, initiating his counterattack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In mere moments, the two men and the beast clashed fiercely.

The violent Qi Force caused swathes of trees to collapse and the ground to crack open, making Chen Lingyu and the others tremble with fear, their scalps tingling.

"I hope nothing happens to Luo Cheng..."

Chen Lingyu gazed in the direction where Luo Cheng had fled, her expression filled with worry.

Lin Xiaoyun said, "Don’t worry, Luo Cheng, with his Wasted Martial Soul, has risen against all odds. He is someone blessed with great fortune; he surely won’t come to harm. Besides, Elder Xue Yun is there to help!"

"Mm."

Chen Lingyu nodded, silently praying in her heart.

Dozens of miles away!

Swoosh!

Elder Xue Yun landed atop a towering tree, looking upward.

Not far ahead, a small mountain had been split neatly down the middle, the cut smooth and pristine, and a deep, straight sword scar stretched across the ground for dozens of meters!

Staring at the terrifying sword scar on the earth, the corner of Xue Yun’s mouth lifted into a smile. freёweɓnovel_com

"Well, isn’t this convenient? Saves me quite a bit of effort. Luo Cheng, let’s see if you can survive this time."

The black-clad swordsman was a powerful practitioner at the Fourth Layer Peak of the Awakening Vein Realm!

It wasn’t just Luo Cheng—even Xue Yun herself would face near-certain death against such an opponent.

From the moment Luo Cheng was targeted by him, his life was no longer his own, doomed undoubtedly!

"Don’t blame me; blame yourself for being too bold and offending too many people!"

With a cold chuckle, Elder Xue Yun withdrew her gaze, slowly strolling back, already pondering a reasonable excuse upon returning.

Meanwhile.

Luo Cheng unleashed his Martial Soul, his nine Dao Essence Energy Mansions functioning at full speed, driving his pace to its limit as shadowy remnants trailed in the expanse of the desolate forest. He fled at full speed.

He fully understood—handling a normal Awakening Vein Second Layer practitioner was easy; facing a Third Layer one, his chances were slim.

Against a Fourth Layer practitioner, he stood no chance whatsoever!

A Fourth Layer practitioner of the Awakening Vein Realm had already opened four Xuan Veins.

Stepping into the Middle Stage of the Awakening Vein Realm, their combat power far surpassed that of a Third Layer practitioner!

"Life or death, it all depends on you!"

Luo Cheng glanced at his left hand.

In his palm was a faintly transparent, light-green medicinal powder—the Green Essence Blood Activating Pill.

At this moment, the powder was enveloped in a radiant Nine-colored Mysterious Light, merging together into a brilliant display.

Luo Cheng was refining the powder of the Green Essence Blood Activating Pill using his Nine-colored Scale, purifying its medicinal properties further!

Over time, the powder became even more transparent.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound pierced the air.

"So fast!"

With his powerful Perception, Luo Cheng didn’t need to look back to sense the movement behind him clearly.

Above the forest, a blood-colored figure rapidly approached.

"Heh, boy, can you really escape?"

The Blood Eagle let out a cold laugh, raising his blood-red longsword and casually slashing it downward.

Boom!

A crimson streak of sword energy descended from the sky, aiming to kill the fleeing Luo Cheng.

"Mystery Shadow Explosion!"

The moment the Blood Eagle struck, Luo Cheng immediately unleashed the ultimate move of his Mist Shadow Step.

Dozens of phantom images stacked and exploded fiercely, narrowly escaping the range of the blood-red sword energy’s coverage.

Crash!

The blood-red sword energy slammed down, bursting with terrifying sharpness, obliterating most of the phantoms and cleaving a small hill in two, leaving a deep trench stretching dozens of meters in the forest!

Swish!

Luo Cheng’s true form reappeared a thousand meters away, his breath slightly heavy, wasting no moment as he darted back into the forest.

"Oh? You dodged again! Your reactions are rather quick."

Blood Eagle raised an eyebrow in mild surprise, blood-red Essence Energy surging around him as he pursued leisurely, seemingly enjoying the cat-and-mouse game.

With his strength, killing Luo Cheng was as simple as flipping his hand; there was no need for haste.

The two raced—a chase and escape—at lightning speed, covering over a hundred miles into the dense forest within moments!

As they delved deeper, the surrounding trees grew more lush, towering dozens of feet tall, their branches and leaves sprawling wide, blocking out the sky and shrouding the area in darkness.

"What a perfect spot!"

Luo Cheng’s eyes gleamed, his figure flickering as he sped toward the thickest stretch of forest, activating the Primordial Breath Technique to suppress every trace of his vitality.

"A petty trick! Do you really think you can escape?"

The Blood Eagle sneered, accelerating.

It was then.

Slice!

A breathtaking streak of Tornado Sword Energy surged out from the dense forest, slashing toward the airborne Blood Eagle. Its terrifying sharpness shredded everything nearby!

The Blood Eagle hadn’t anticipated Luo Cheng daring to retaliate, instinctively activating his Protective Essence Energy.

All of this transpired in an instant.

In the next moment.

Boom!

The Tornado Sword Energy crashed heavily into the Blood Eagle, sending him flying over a hundred meters!

"Heh, kid, nice technique. But in the end, you’re merely throwing an egg at a rock!"

The Blood Eagle’s chilling laughter rang out. With a casual wave of his hand, the unstoppable Tornado Sword Energy shattered apart, dispersing into pure Heaven and Earth Essence Energy.

As for the Blood Eagle, aside from a faint tear in his sleeve, he was completely unharmed!

"Take this! Mystic Eagle Three Swords!"

Locking his gaze on Luo Cheng’s vanished figure, the Blood Eagle slashed three consecutive sword strikes.

Three arcs of sword energy formed a triangular pattern, resembling eagle talons, their force majestic as they descended from the sky, enveloping a thousand-meter radius below!

Danger!

Luo Cheng’s face turned pale with terror. Without hesitation, he pushed his speed to its limit!

"Mystery Shadow Explosion!"

At the same time, the sword energies howled forward, their range causing trees to collapse, rocks to shatter, everything turning to ash!

Bang!

The coverage of the sword energy was vast. Though Luo Cheng tried his best to evade, he couldn’t escape the residual impact, staggering as he appeared a thousand meters away, blood trickling from his mouth and nose.

"Too strong! A practitioner at the Middle Stage of the Awakening Vein Realm is beyond anything I can handle right now! If this continues, even if I dodge the attacks, the aftershock will kill me!"

Luo Cheng’s earlier strike had unleashed 120% of his combat power but had failed to harm his opponent in the slightest!

The gap in their strength was akin to an insurmountable abyss—a chasm that could never be bridged!

Now, he only had the slimmest hope of survival!

"Heh, why did you stop running?"

The Blood Eagle landed on the ground, gazing at Luo Cheng as though inspecting a corpse, his tone mocking.

Luo Cheng’s expression relaxed, showing not a trace of tension, "Running is futile! If I’m not wrong, you’re not from the Fierce Cloud Sect!"

The Blood Eagle’s eyes flickered: "Why do you say that?"

Luo Cheng replied, "If you were from the Fierce Cloud Sect, there’d be no need to conceal your identity. Was it Sun Yingyang who offered you benefits to come kill me?"

The Blood Eagle chuckled maliciously, "You’re quite calm, even clever. Your strength is extraordinary, arguably the strongest Tongxuan Realm martial artist I’ve ever encountered. If you lived, you might have achieved greatness."

"But alas, you’ll never have that chance."
