Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Chapter 397: Chapter 395: Fleeing for Life

Nangong Wanyu, one of the foremost supreme experts of the Nascent Soul Realm from the younger generation!

In the back mountains of the Academy, she was undoubtedly the most powerful outsider.

She was leagues beyond the White-clothed Swordsman, Mo Yu, and incomparable to the other Nascent Soul Cultivators who had suppressed their Cultivation Realms!

She was truly powerful. In his grievously injured state, Jiang Jichen didn’t even have the courage to face her.

He immediately pushed Mountain River Shadow to its absolute limit and fled for his life.

But Jiang Jichen had never been one to admit defeat easily. ’If I can’t beat her in a fight, I can at least win the war of words, right?’

"Nangong Wanyu! You’re ignoring the Half-Immortal Treasure just to chase my ass? What’s that about? Don’t tell me you’ve got a thing for yours truly?"

"You’re a real pervert, Nangong Wanyu. If you really like me that much, what’s the harm in letting you have your way with me for a few days?"

"But after you’re done, you’ll have to let me have my turn with you!"

Jiang Jichen’s voice carried from afar, its impact both shocking and devastating.

His words were utterly vulgar.

Nangong Wanyu was a supreme master of the Nascent Soul Realm, the great young miss of the Nangong Family. And now, she was being called a pervert by Jiang Jichen?

And he even suggested they ’take turns’ with one another?

How detestable! He deserved to die!

Nangong Wanyu gritted her teeth and yelled from behind, "Brat, you’d better pray I don’t catch you! I’ll rip out your tendons, peel off your skin, and scrape the flesh from your bones! I’ll make you wish you were dead!"

But despite her words, Nangong Wanyu discovered that Jiang Jichen’s speed was astonishing. At full tilt, he wasn’t that much slower than her.

Moreover, he was incredibly slippery. Catching and capturing him would prove to be quite difficult.

At this moment, they were a thousand meters apart, one chasing the other!

Nangong Wanyu was only closing the distance by half a meter with every breath—hardly a significant advantage.

She could definitely catch him eventually, but it would take a considerable amount of time.

And while Jiang Jichen’s words had been vile, one of his taunts had struck a nerve with Nangong Wanyu.

The Half-Immortal Treasure. How could she possibly not care about it?

But she wanted to kill Jiang Jichen *first*, then go back and seize the Half-Immortal Treasure.

But now, it seemed she was wasting precious time.

If the chase took her more than five hundred li away, it would likely be too late by the time she rushed back for the Half-Immortal Treasure.

Thus, Nangong Wanyu was indecisive, feeling exceptionally vexed and conflicted. Her loathing and hatred for Jiang Jichen swelled to limitless heights.

From the distance, Jiang Jichen’s taunting voice drifted back again. "Nangong Wanyu, you perverted old hag! Not only do you have a thing for yours truly, but you also like to dismember male corpses? That’s terrifying!"

"But I feel I should remind you: if you keep chasing me, you’ll run out of time. There won’t be any Half-Immortal Treasure left for you!"

These words made Nangong Wanyu’s anger flare. Her beautiful face filled with killing intent, and in that instant, her speed exploded once more.

"Brat! Even if it means giving up the Half-Immortal Treasure, I must kill a wretched person like you first!"

Jiang Jichen’s words had provoked Nangong Wanyu into unleashing her latent potential; she even declared she’d give up the Half-Immortal Treasure to keep chasing him.

One could only imagine the depths of her desire to kill Jiang Jichen now.

Jiang Jichen, of course, felt Nangong Wanyu’s speed surge as she rapidly closed in on him.

He felt a lethal danger approaching.

’Fuck, I pushed her too far. You really do reap what you sow... I’m done for this time!’

’Sigh, she’s getting closer. This woman is just too savage!’

’This won’t do. I have to find a way to crush her morale!’

...

As time went on, Jiang Jichen grew anxious, his face turning pale.

If Nangong Wanyu was truly determined to see this through to the bitter end, he was in for a miserable fate.

Now, the distance between them was less than a hundred meters!

At this rate, it would be game over for him.

"Ahem, Miss Wanyu, we’re about to cross the five-hundred-li mark! If you keep this up, you’ll really miss out on the Half-Immortal Treasure!"

"That’s a Half-Immortal Treasure we’re talking about! Chang Xian’Er has already broken through all the Restrictions. All that’s left is to defeat those five Stone Men, enter the stone house, and claim the Qiankun Bag left behind by the Demi-Immortal!"

"I’m just giving you a friendly reminder, you know! Don’t let a world-altering opportunity slip by. Don’t wait until your hair turns white, regretting it all in vain!"

Jiang Jichen prattled on from ahead, trying to talk Nangong Wanyu into giving up like some incessant chatterbox.

In truth, he was frantic. The distance was shrinking, and he was about to enter Nangong Wanyu’s optimal attack range.

Behind him, Nangong Wanyu’s beautiful face was cold as ice. Flames seemed ready to erupt from her eyes, which swirled with the light of a thousand blades and Sword Shadows.

If looks could kill, Jiang Jichen would have already been hacked into a million pieces.

"Jiang Jichen, I’ll end you right now!"

Finally, Nangong Wanyu attacked.

It wasn’t the optimal range for an attack, but she simply couldn’t stand Jiang Jichen’s incessant babbling any longer.

It was a horrifying thought; if this continued, she feared she’d go mad before she even managed to catch him.

She had launched long-range attacks to bombard Jiang Jichen before.

But none of them had been an Ultimate Kill, and Jiang Jichen had managed to dodge most of them.

The boy possessed an astonishing Divine Sense, allowing him to perceive danger a step ahead of time.

Still, the attacks had managed to wound Jiang Jichen, and on several occasions, had nearly cost him his life.

Unfortunately, he was just too slippery and incredibly difficult to kill.

And so, she had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to land an Ultimate Kill.

But Jiang Jichen was too vigilant; he never gave her an opening.

Just then, they arrived upon a small mountain!

The moment Jiang Jichen crested the small mountain, Nangong Wanyu could finally restrain herself no longer.

In an instant, an endless torrent of Ultimate Kill Secret Light completely submerged Jiang Jichen.

BOOM!

The entire mountain exploded amidst the endless Secret Light, shattering into nothingness until it was razed completely flat.

When all fell silent and the dust settled, Nangong Wanyu’s face was livid.

"A Teleportation Secret Array... You actually... you actually escaped! Jiang Jichen, if I don’t kill you, may I no longer be considered human!"

Nangong Wanyu had, of course, sensed the fluctuation of teleportation energy in that instant. She could even sense that Jiang Jichen had reappeared just ten li away.

If she continued the pursuit, she could inevitably catch him.

But she would truly miss out on the Half-Immortal Treasure.

Because, just as Jiang Jichen had said, continuing forward would take her past the five-hundred-li mark.

Besides, to catch Jiang Jichen now would likely take the better part of a day.

Though her body trembled with rage, Nangong Wanyu was still weighing her options; she hadn’t completely lost her reason.

Finally, she gritted her teeth, turned, and flew back toward the stone peak in the lake’s center.

’Jiang Jichen, once I’ve claimed the Half-Immortal Treasure, I will dedicate myself completely to hunting you down!’

’You... will never escape my grasp!’

Nangong Wanyu had temporarily given up the chase. In the end, she couldn’t bear to let the Half-Immortal Treasure go.

With her power, she was seventy percent confident she could claim it.

Ten li away, Jiang Jichen’s figure stumbled out of the void.

Before he could hit the ground, he was caught by Suu Luo.

"Brother Jichen, you’re hurt so badly!"

Suu Luo’s pleasant voice sounded by his ear.

"Escaping from Nangong Wanyu alive is the best possible outcome. But Jiang Jichen, I have to wonder where you get the confidence to be so certain I would help you."

It was Qing Xun’s voice. She was here, too.

And not just her. Beside her stood Blood Hand, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

She was here as well!
