Chapter 2586: Chapter 2589: He’s My Brother
Demonic Beast Forest, central area.
Elder Shi was lounging leisurely on a chair, basking in the sun.
Crack!
A crisp sound echoed, the door of a wooden house swung open, and a burly middle-aged man stepped out, a hint of excitement on his face.
"Shi Yan, what’s going on?"
Elder Shi looked at Shi Yan puzzled, this stone lump could actually smile? Something good must’ve happened!
"Elder Shi, my opportunity has come!"
Shi Yan spoke calmly, his expression returned to serenity, then turned his gaze in another direction.
Elder Shi followed Shi Yan’s gaze, froze for a moment, and raised his eyebrows: "Over there... Gold-devouring Rat Clan? What opportunity do you have with them?"
"It’s not the Gold-devouring Rat Clan, it’s Jiang Chen!"
A glint flashed in Shi Yan’s eyes: "Jiang Chen just came out from the Gold-devouring Rat Clan, but someone is tracking him!"
"Tracking? You mean..."
Elder Shi opened his eyes widely, then continued: "So far away and you can still sense it."
"I wouldn’t normally be able to sense it, but he must have just acquired a piece of Lord Ancestral Dragon’s energy, and couldn’t completely conceal his aura, which triggered my bloodline."
Shi Yan explained softly.
"Newly acquired..."
Elder Shi’s eyes widened, surprised: "Now that’s a fortunate chance!"
"The more of Lord Ancestral Dragon’s opportunity he receives, the greater my chance. This time I’ll form a good bond with him, and when he grows up, maybe I can follow him back to Dragon Island!"
Excitement flashed in Shi Yan’s eyes, then he hurriedly said: "Elder Shi, I’ll catch you later. The one tracking him is at the Unity Realm, while he is still a Divine Infant. If he gets killed instantly, my hopes of returning to Dragon Island will be shattered. I’m off!"
Swish!
Before he finished speaking, Shi Yan’s figure had already vanished.
"Hope that little guy can help you!"
Elder Shi glanced at the spot where Shi Yan disappeared, then looked towards the direction of the Gold-devouring Rat Clan, a touch of reluctance and sorrow in his eyes.
...
Inner perimeter edge of the Demonic Beast Forest.
Jiang Chen’s figure swiftly moved towards the outside of the Demonic Beast Forest, behind him, a silhouette was strolling leisurely in the air, though seemingly slow, each step crossed dozens of meters.
"Haha! Run! Run faster! Aren’t you capable? Run, then!"
Lin Zhong’s face twisted into a vicious grin as he watched Jiang Chen flee rapidly ahead.
This guy was patient, only revealing himself after tailing Jiang Chen to the inner perimeter edge of the Demonic Beast Forest.
At this inner perimeter edge, the strongest demonic beast was only at the initial stage of the Unity Realm, posing no threat to him. Right now he wasn’t in a hurry to kill Jiang Chen, he just wanted to toy with him!
Watching Jiang Chen flee for his life, Lin Zhong felt a twisted pleasure.
A genius, one who has comprehended six paths of Great Dao, a Son of Heavenly Dao with the posture of a Saint and possibly transcendent, being toyed with like a plaything.
This feeling brought Lin Zhong sheer joy.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Lin Zhong emitted his aura, and a demonic beast at the initial stage of the Unity Realm ahead jolted, releasing a ferocious aura at once.
Boom!
Puff!
The aura clashed onto Jiang Chen, his face suddenly turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body was sent flying.
Buzz!
Another powerful aura arose behind, followed closely by another surge of violent aura in the direction Jiang Chen was flung.
Boom!
Puff!
Another mouthful of blood was spat out as Jiang Chen was sent flying forward.
"Haha, well isn’t this interesting, we’ve encountered the Nightmarish Nether Tiger clan, they’re known for gathering in groups of three to five, this is going to be fun!"
Lin Zhong laughed heartily, released his aura once again.
Boom!
A violent aura erupted unexpectedly ahead of Jiang Chen, sending him flying backward once more.
Boom boom boom!
Puff! Puff!
Three violent auras formed a triangle, enclosing Jiang Chen in the center. Under Lin Zhong’s manipulation, the auras worked in concert, boxing Jiang Chen around like a ball!
"Genius! Haha!"
Lin Zhong’s face slowly twisted into a fierce look: "So what if you’re a genius? So what if you’re Hu Yiqiu’s disciple? So what if you know Princess Chang and Little Princess? So what if you have the friendship of the Gold-devouring Rat Clan? Aren’t you still at my mercy! Jiang Chen, don’t worry, I won’t let you die prematurely, I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
Jiang Chen, battered like a ball, spat blood while his heart was filled with regret!
Careless!
I didn’t expect Lin Zhong would think of such a method to deal with me, he keeps his distance, how can I attack him? Do I really have to call upon Black Mountain teacher, Jin Tianba, Jin Ming, and others for help?
Jiang Chen felt some reluctance, the weakest among them were Saints, to call upon them to handle Lin Zhong felt wasteful.
"Lin Zhong, if you dare kill me, my master will definitely not let you go, neither will the seniors of the Gold-devouring Rat Clan!"
Taking advantage of a momentary pause in mid-air, Jiang Chen shouted loudly.
"Not let me go? Who will know it was me who killed you?"
Lin Zhong grinned: "You will die at the hands of demonic beasts, what does it have to do with me?"
Lin Zhong was also worried, if he personally killed Jiang Chen, would it leave any trace.
The Gold-devouring Rat, also known as the Treasure-seeking Mouse, has an extremely keen sense of smell. If Jiang Chen’s attendant didn’t wait to meet him, he might return to search, even seek help from the Gold-devouring Rat Clan to find him. If the Gold-devouring Rat Clan’s Saint locates Jiang Chen’s death site, they might detect my aura.
If that’s the case, I’m afraid I’ll die too!
"I’ve just left the Gold-devouring Rat Clan and died in this Demonic Beast Forest. Carrying the Essence Blood of a Gold-devouring Rat Clan Saint, how could I possibly die at the hands of demonic beasts?"
"Essence Blood of a Saint?!"
Lin Zhong was startled, then thought deeply and said: "You handed the Essence Blood to your attendant? You’ve sent him back to call for reinforcements?"
"Hu Zi is my brother! Not an attendant! You wait, the Great Elder will be here soon, and then you’re dead!"
Jiang Chen’s eyes sparkled, taking advantage of Lin Zhong’s words to shout.
Boom!
Another surge of aura erupted, sending Jiang Chen flying again.
Watching Jiang Chen fly towards him, Lin Zhong’s gaze flickered.
If Yan Hu had indeed circled back to the Gold-devouring Rat Clan for help, given how highly they regard Jiang Chen, Jin Ming would surely come to his aid. In this Demonic Beast Forest, the Gold-devouring Rat Clan finding someone wouldn’t be difficult!
Lin Zhong’s face twisted horribly as a sense of crisis surged in his heart.
"Go die!"
Lin Zhong instantly abandoned his plan of using the demonic beasts’ aura to toy with Jiang Chen, shouted, his figure flashed, charged towards Jiang Chen, aiming a fierce palm at his back.
Sensing the terrifying aura rushing from behind, Jiang Chen’s lips curled slightly, his expression instantly turned solemn, his Primordial Spirit trembled, fully perceiving the position of the aura behind.
