The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 137

Jiang Chen had no time to think. His Goldwing Swordbird was already flying at high speed at this moment and there was no possibility of increasing his speed any further.    

Judging from the speed of his pursuers, they would quickly close the distance in just a few dozen li.    

“Don't hesitate, keep moving forward. If she catches up, I'll hold her for a while.”    

Jiang Chen had no other choice but to carry out the same tactic. It was fortunate that senior brother Liu was alone chasing after him and the others were still far away.    

Although Jiang Chen could not win even against senior brother Liu, there should be no problem if it delayed him for a moment.    

Moreover, he suspected the other party must be using a secret art, otherwise, the other party would increase his speed when they had the chance to do so.    

Why did he speed up in just this last small distance?    

“They have to pay the price when increasing the speed, otherwise, they will not wait until now!” Jiang Chen felt somewhat calm when he thought of this.    

The speed to be paid cannot be maintained for a long time. It was the same as running short distances. Speed can be increased to the maximum, but certainly can not be maintained for a long time.    

It actually did not take much time to cover a hundred li distance if it was traveling at maximum speed.    

According to Jiang Chen's estimation, they should have already entered the Qingyang Valley region by now. In reality, the territory of the Qingyang Valley and the Northern Palace of Azure Heaven actually did not border each other, yet the Palace disciples were always arrogant and had a habit of surpassing their limits.    

At this moment, senior brother Liu pushed his spirit beast forward and finally managed to reach a distance of five li from Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen suddenly stopped and pointed at senior brother Liu with a Da Yu bow in his hand.    

Jiang Chen's vision was extraordinary and his experience was vast. When he saw the horse's eye sockets under senior brother Liu drowning, he knew that the horse must have used the secret art earlier, sacrificed its own source of life and injured its own existence.    

“As expected, the disciples of Azure Heaven's Northern Palace will do anything. They were so cruel even to their own spirit beasts for profit. These people definitely put personal gain above all else and do not have the slightest bit of human emotion.”    

When Jiang Chen saw this scene, a few traces of disdain and contempt towards senior brother Liu grew in his heart.    

Many practitioners were cruel to their enemies but treated their comrades very well, especially their horses.    

The type of person who could sacrifice his intimate partner like a horse must be one who was blinded by greed, cruel and heartless.    

Even if this kind of person gave his promise for something, he was still unbelievable. He was really the type of person who committed treason.    

“Please run, why don't you run again?” Senior brother Liu was also quite upset about chasing Jiang Chen for so long.    

“It's a pity that you didn't even spare your animal life to increase your speed. You Palace disciples are all cut from the same cloth, right?” Jiang Chen sneered.    

“Trying to piss me off?” Senior brother Liu snorted in disdain. “I'm not trash like Yi Qiansui. Son, I don't want to waste words with you. Surrender voluntarily and I can give you a quick death. If you wait for me to arrest you, I will let you feel all sorts of torture and make even if you plead for death, you remain rejected.”    

Jiang Chen laughed out loud. “I've just heard a lot of such big talk, four idiots discussing how to split the loot as if taking me for granted. Look at me now, aren't I okay?”    

“Because the case is like this, then.” Senior brother Liu has not even finished his sentence when Jiang Chen pulls back his Da Yu bow, wusss!    

Senior brother Liu did not dare to take it lightly when his bow rang, as he concentrated on preparing to fight against the arrow.    

But where his eyes were focused, there were no arrows darting towards him. It was just an arrow filled with empty posture.    

Jiang Chen laughed out loud, “A idiot remains an idiot even after breaking through to the spirit realm!”    

Laughing loudly, Jiang Chen pushed the Goldwing Swordbird forward once more and then left quickly, not wanting to collide with senior brother Liu.    

The pause just now was just to get more time for Gouyu and the others. Now that his goal had been achieved, Jiang Chen would naturally not last much longer.    

Moreover, he knew that senior brother Liu was burning the spirit beast's life blood to increase its speed. He would definitely not be able to maintain it for too long.    

Therefore, he was getting more confident.    

“Try to escape? You still trying to escape?” Senior brother Liu was furious as he immersed his foot into the spirit beast and chased after it quickly.    

“Note my darts!”    

Wusssssssssssssssssssssss!    

This time it was an arrow. Although it was not an arrow that came a set with a Da Yu bow, it was still a first-class arrow.    

Three consecutive arrows were aimed directly at senior brother Liu's vital parts.    

Jiang Chen also knew that it was almost impossible for ordinary arrows to kill a spirit dao practitioner. He did not hold on to this hope. He only had one goal, and that was to hold this person back and reduce his speed to the maximum of his ability, and hold back his footsteps.    

A practitioner in the spirit realm might be strong, but he was not strong to the point of ignoring the attacks from spirit weapons.    

He swept the three arrows with a wave of his hand, the arrows causing his sea of qi to tremble slightly. Senior brother Liu is also astonished inwardly, “Those ordinary attacks can thrill my sea of qi, what kind of evil existence is there in the bow in his hand? It might not be a purified spirit weapon once or twice!”    

His speed decreased once again after this small stop, widening the distance between him and Jiang Chen.    

Senior brother Liu is also depressed. He also knew that they had entered the territory of the Qingyang Valley. Although he wasn't too afraid as there weren't many Qingyang experts in the region, the pursuit would become less smooth if it chased after someone in the other group's territory.    

However, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place after he reached this step. He can't give up. He had spent so much money that if he were to give up now, he would suffer a tremendous loss.    

Especially that bow, it was definitely a spirit weapon that was three times smoother. Only the nobles of the Skylaurel Kingdom or the disciples of the Precious Tree Sect had good items like this.    

When senior brother Liu's thoughts led here, he suddenly came to a realization when he realized that he seemed to be ignoring a very important question. What kind of background did this fellow have so that he could use this kind of spirit weapon?    

“Yi Qiansui, that useless trash! He didn't even sort out a person's background before trying to kill and loot his things. We have made a beehive now and are fighting with someone we cannot afford to hurt!” Some doubts surfaced in senior brother Liu's mind, but then he immediately thought, “No, this child should not have a good background. Otherwise, he would not have hidden his identity. If he came from a large noble family or a disciple of a sect, there was no reason for him not to identify himself.”    

Who was so stupid in the world of martial dao that it hid the presence of great supporters, and failed to pull them out even when facing life and death?    

“True, this child must be a noble of one of those small kingdoms. He must have been a little pampered and brought his treasure for a pleasant trip to the Skylaurel Kingdom.”    

Senior brother Liu felt that this was the only possibility, the more he thought about it.    

When his mind floated here, he no longer hesitated. He had decided that whatever the risk, this time he had to kill everyone in this group.    

Grab some good equipment, pass the Precious Tree Sect exam, and enter the sect!    

This is senior brother Liu's ambition.    

As long as he entered the Sect, it didn't matter even though he killed some noble disciples. Within the sixteen kingdoms, even the nobles of this earthly kingdom should make way for sect disciples like the Precious Tree Sect.    

“Kill the child and steal his treasure!” Senior brother Liu's rational thinking had been completely defeated by greed.    

He increased his speed to its limit and could already see Jiang Chen's figure towards the front. Although the speed of the golden-colored light was fast, it was still slightly slower than its current speed.    

Ten li, eight li, five li…    

The closer he got to catching up, senior brother Liu's emotions became increasingly agitated. This fat sheep was almost at the end of his mouth. He had to eat it as quickly as possible to prevent long dreams without sleep.    

As he was posing, a wave of movement suddenly pulsed in the air. Immediately after, an enormous flow of flower-shaped air formed above.    

These air currents began to suppress him after forming spirit qi flowers.    

Senior brother Liu was greatly shocked when he felt a stifling despair surging straight at him.    

"It's bad!"    

He crouched down and directly jumped off his horse, sliding straight onto the ground. He also knew that if the attack had really hit him, he would have been slapped into meat paste.    

He would rather fall than be crushed into meat paste.    

At least he won't die from falling from this height. A few wounds on the flesh and skin meant nothing to a spirit dao practitioner. He'll be fine with spirit medicine.    

Bam!    

Senior brother Liu's spirit beast did not have time to react before being exposed to this fierce flow of flower-shaped air.    

The flow of flower-shaped air shattered him instantly into a cloud of blood as all of his internal organs exploded, turning into bloody wind and rain, scattering to the ground.    

“People from Azure Heaven's Northern Palace are becoming bolder huh!” A shriveled and cold voice sounded cold from the thin air.    

After landing on the ground, senior brother Liu had taken his life from the jaws of death and had yet to recover his senses. He hurriedly said, “Senior, it's my fault, I'll be out of here soon!”    

Senior brother Liu completely ignored Jiang Chen and the others after he spoke and thought nothing further about spirit weapons and treasures. He suddenly turned around and ran, not daring to look back even once.    

The one who made his move did not kill senior brother Liu with his punch, but did not make any more moves.    

“Go back and tell Azure Heaven Northern Palace that anyone who breaks the boundary again will all die!”    

Senior brother Liu covered his head and rushed away like a mouse into his hole, the emblem drenched.    

He also knew that the power behind the punch was simply not something he could accept. The wise choice now is to stay away and as much as possible avoid the anger of others.    

Jiang Chen in front had actually not gotten too far before the mysterious force stopped him and forced him to land.    

When he landed, Jiang Chen discovered that he was in a valley and his father, Gouyu, and the others had long since landed.    

There was a strange rope that glittered in and out of everything, preventing them from moving a single muscle. When Jiang Chen landed, Jiang Feng, Gouyu, and the others were also very anxious.    

Jiang Chen smiled wryly, he knew that this must be the territory of the Qingyang Valley and the Valley experts would definitely stay here.    

Otherwise, senior brother Liu would not just leave just like that.    

“Ck ck ck, the training of these people seems to be normal. However, their mounts look pretty good. Where did it come from?”    

“Heh heh, who cares where it comes from. Entrance without permission to the Qingyang Valley means to be a servant of fertilizer or medicine. Tie everything up and wait for Elder Fei to make a decision.”    

Those who spoke were two medicine boys, and were actually younger than Jiang Chen at the age of three or four.
