Chapter 312: Unexpected Danger
Running away from the Nascent Soul Realm Experts from the Crystal Sky Kingdom, Feng Chen and Zu Fei soon managed to shake them off, as they were only around the first three stages to just having reached the fourth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Just a bit weaker than Zu Fei who was at the fifth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
“Hah… Looks like we finally managed to shake them off!”
Collapsing down on the ground with an exhausted expression on her face, Zu Fei began recovering the qi she had used to increase her speed with her movement technique for the last few minutes of hectic running away from the border guards of the Crystal Sky Kingdom.
Even if it was only for a short period of time, she had to use up most of her qi reserves to make a large enough distance between them and their pursuers before she and Feng Chen could escape the range of their divine sense.
Divine sense was truly one of the most annoying things about sneaking past or escaping from someone in the Nascent Soul Realm…
“Haha! Just recover for now, I will keep an eye out for any possible enemies out there!” Laughing with a cheeky smile on his face upon seeing the exhausted Zu Fei, Feng Chen moved out of the small cave they had hidden in. Ignoring the trembling bear in the corner of the cave looking over towards both of them fearfully.
The outside of the cave was a relatively calm and peaceful forest that they had decided to hide in for a few hours until the border guards of the Crystal Sky Kingdom gave up chasing after them and returned back to their post.
After all, no matter how much they wanted to catch them, they would not be able to leave their post empty for too long…
Feng Chen and Zu Fei just had to remain hidden for a few hours before they would inevitably have to give up their chase and return to the Crystal Sky Kingdom once again…
Thinking about this, Feng Chen sat down in front of cave entrance and spread his divine sense out to cover as much of the surrounding environment that he could.
Finding a small village beside the normal forest they were hiding in, together with several animals without any cultivation.
Much like the bear currently shivering fearful in a corner of the cave that they borrowed from it…
The overall surroundings were nothing out of the ordinary, with the strongest person inside of the village only barely having reached the fourth stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. Not really something that would pose a threat to him or Zu Fei…
Time slowly passed and it was only after a day and night had passed that Zu Fei came out fully recovered and ready to go from the cave.
Seeing Zu Fei come out of the cave, Feng Chen stood up from his meditative position in front of the cave entrance.
“Let’s get going! Those people from the Crystal Sky Kingdom should have already given up by now.”
Nodding her head in agreement with what Feng Chen said, both of them soon left behind the peaceful and calm forest… Something that both of them would come to regret in the soon to be future…
…
Only a few moments later, at the border between the Burning Mountain Range and a kingdom, Feng Chen and Zu Fei could be seen running at full speed as several bright flashes of light could be seen to be moving closer towards them.
Boom!
A large explosion could suddenly be heard as both Feng Chen and Zu Fei desperately ran away from the origin of the explosion in question. Not daring to look back, they already had some idea about where it came from, as even the remnants of energy left in the shockwave was more than enough to launch both of them into a nearby mountain from the Burning Mountain Range.
Bang!
Crashing into the mountain side, Feng Chen managed to recover relatively quickly from the impact, while Zu Fei could barely get up after the impact. Forcing Feng Chen to carry her, as he ran away at his fastest speed possible while carrying Zu Fei in his arms.
BOOM!
Yet another explosion could be heard, as Feng Chen managed to see a giant ball of fire engulf an entire city out of the corner of his eye. Reducing the city and everything within to rubble.
The sheer heat of the explosion spread outwards and began burning everything 10 kilometers away from the city that the giant ball of fire had landed and exploded.
ROAR!
A loud roar echoed out from behind him, as several explosions soon followed.
“How did we even encounter that thing again!?”
Feng Chen could not help but mutter this to himself in a depressed tone, as he clearly realized the identity of the demon beast behind the roar.
It was the demon beast that the now dead Sect Master of the Raging Flame Sect, had woken up back at the volcano in the Burning Mountain Range and also the demon beast that had paralyzed both him and Zu Fei at the border of the Crystal Sky Kingdom!
Currently the demon beast in question was fighting someone, most likely the Domain Lord from the Crystal Sky Kingdom.
However, this was not the main reason for Feng Chen and Zu Fei’s bad situation. No, it was instead the fact that both of them were making their way over towards both of them while fighting each other along the way.
Now, what could be the reason for them coincidently moving towards the two of them…?
“This bloody fruit!”
Feng Chen could not help but exclaim in a depressed voice, as he looked at the bright red fruit flying over towards him and Zu Fei.
No matter what direction he ran in, the bright red fruit would follow him for some reason and no matter what direction the fruit went. The fight between the two powerhouses would soon follow…
How do we even get away…?
Thinking this as he looked at the fruit approaching him, Feng Chen could not help but feel yet another wave of depression wash over him before executing his movement technique once again, in a vain attempt at outrunning the flying bright red fruit following him from behind…
