It was already night time, and the stars light up the sky like snowflakes in the night.
At this moment,
Swoosh!
A figure that was almost translucent flashed past over the night sky of the Heavenly Demon Sect domain with a speed so swift that it seemed like a shooting star.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the figure's speed had already completely surpassed the speed of sound.
Everywhere that figure passed, the air was torn to the point where a small horizontal vacuum passageway was formed.
The space around that figure rippled like the shattered surface of a still lake as it undulated with circle after circle of ripples towards both sides.
Distance away from that figure was five other figures that seemed like five streaks of light following behind.
"Little bastard, I swear the God that if I don't literally skin you alive when I catch you then I don't deserve to be called Bloodbath anymore."
Amid the silence, an extremely gloomy and icy cold voice akin to thunder abruptly rang out in the night sky, and the killing intent and rages in that voice were undisguised and revealed completely.
Yep, like many of you might have already guessed, the figure ahead was none other than Ling Chen while the other chasing behind him was Bloodbath and the four hall masters.
When Ling Chen had first escaped from the grasp of Bloodbath and the four hall masters, the sun was still up in the sky. Now, it was already nighttime, which meant that Ling Chen had spent the whole day running away from Bloodbath and his group.
"Little brat, even you go back to the Heavenly Demon Sect and hide within the Heavenly Demon Palace, I'll still catch you." Roared out Bloodbath again.
Meanwhile, Ling Chen turned a deaf ear to Bloodbath's threat as he continued to fly swiftly without the slightest trace of stopping.
He'd experienced this level of threats numerous times throughout the day from Bloodbath, and he naturally wouldn't take it seriously.
Also, Bloodbath wasn't crazy enough to barge into the Heavenly Demon Sect, even with his Spatial Mirror.
At this moment, Bloodbath was truly furious. It's been a whole day since he's been chasing after Ling Chen and yet he still couldn't catch up to him. If it wasn't for the fact that he could only use his spatial mirror once a day, he would have caught that brat a long time ago.
Also, If words were to spread that a little fellow at the early stage of the Martial Venerable realm was able to escape under his gazes, then it would simply be a terrible humiliation!
"Little bastard if you are a man, stop and face this old man."
Even though it wasn't the first time that Ling Chen had ignored him and turned a deaf ear to his words, rage still skyrocketed within the heart of Bloodbath who was furiously chasing behind Ling Chen.
At this moment, he wished for nothing more than to capture Ling Chen and skinned him alive and pulled out his tendons, and then he would drink his blood and eat his flesh!
After he got what he wanted of course!
"Supreme Hall Master, are we really going to barge into the Heavenly Demon Sect after the little devil." At this moment, one of the four hall masters suddenly asked with a weird expression on his face.
Just like Bloodbath, they were also enraged. They all had a murderous look on their face as they chased after Ling Chen.
Their eyes were bloodshot as well, their expressions unsightly to the extreme, and the flames of rage in their hearts had reached its utmost degree.
They were the four strongest hall masters of the Bloodbath Assassination Guild. They led a comfortable life and possessed respected identities.
Yet at this moment, they seemed like useless constables of the secular world that were chasing after a criminal, and they chased tirelessly no matter the condition without stopping to eat nor drink…
Even though they had medicinal pills to replenish their strength and didn't have to worry about their True Qi Essence being insufficient or drained, a life like this was simply a type of torture, and it caused their hearts and body to feel extreme suffering.
Nonetheless, despite their anger and hatred towards Ling Chen at the moment, they weren't crazy enough to barge into the Heavenly Demon Sect after Ling Chen.
It's true that they said that men died in the pursuit of fortune just as animals died in the pursuit of food.
However, following Ling Chen into the Heavenly Demon Sect was akin to enter Hell in your own accord. It would be a meaningless and stupid death.
"Of course not! I'm just infuriated. If we're unable to catch this kid this time, then I'm afraid we won't never able to in the future. With this weird power of his, it won't be long before he turned into a greater monster that we couldn't even hope of facing."
"Also, this bastard isn't flying in the direction of the Heavenly Demon Sect." Answered Bloodbath with an angry look on his face.
Motherfucker! How much true qi essence that this kid has in his lower-dantian? A whole day has passed already, yet his True Qi Essence hasn't been completely consumed?" Bloodbath couldn't care about maintaining the bearing of an expert as he gave vent to a torrent of curses, and his expression was extremely gloomy.
Even he felt a wave of exhaustion and weariness after chasing after Ling Chen for a whole day, and his entire body felt uncomfortable.
If it wasn't for the fact that he coveted the secrets in Ling Chen's body and he also was his last hope in breaking through the Martial Saint Realm, he'd probably have turned around and left long ago to find a nice place to sleep.
" Wait a minute! I know where that little bastard is going to. He's trying to fly into the Cloud Mist Poisonous Valley." Yelled out Bloodbath.
At the same time, his expression suddenly became grim as he seemed to have found out about something.
When he saw that Ling Chen wasn't flying into the direction of the Heavenly Demon Sect, he knew something wasn't right. However, he couldn't put his finger around it until now.
He wasn't a fool, the moment he realized that Ling Chen was going to Cloud Mist Poisonous Valley, he knew that Ling Chen wasn't trying to escape. He was trying to lure them into a trap into the Cloud Mist Poisonous Valley.
And with Ling Chen's weird demonic power that allowed him to devoured one's life essence and turned it into his own power, he would be a big idiot if he couldn't figure out what his plan was. At this moment, his heart wavered.
The Cloud Mist Poisonous Valley was a restricted area within the Heavenly Demon Sect Domain. The Cloud Mist Poisonous Valley was a strange valley located at the edge of the Jia Kingdom, one of the many kingdoms under the rule of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
It was a dark and oppressive place filled with a thick poisonous fog all year round. Even the harshest sunlight was unable to penetrate the low clouds and gloomy fog of the Cloud Mist Poisonous Valley.
Not only that, but no regular human could also spend a day within that valley as they would die from the poisonous fog within hours. Only a Martial Grandmaster and above could venture within that deadly valley.
Aside from that, it was also difficult for even a peak expert to use their spiritual sense within that valley. This valley was so deadly that once lost inside, it would be impossible to get out unless one had a guide or had the ability to fly.
"Supreme Hall Master, if he really escapes into the Cloud Mist Poisonous Valley, then it will be troublesome to capture him." Said one of the four hall masters with a serious expression on his face.
Even though the other three hall masters didn't say anything, they all shared the same feeling as they shook their heads in agreement while they looked at Bloodbath.
"I don't care, I swear to not give up until I capture that bastard. This is our last chance," answered Bloodbath with a resolute look on his face.
Upon hearing Bloodbath's answer, the four hall masters shut their mouths and continued to follow behind him.
They knew their supreme hall master better than anyone. When he set his eyes onto something, he won't give up until he got it.
Not long after Ling Chen entered the Cloud Mist Poisonous Valley, Bloodbath's group of five had hurried over here.
They stood above the sky of the Valley while gazing down at the poisonous fog that covered the entire valley.
From their positions, all they could see were the tips of the huge mountains while their bottoms were covered with a thick poisonous fog. Aside from that, everything was buried within the endless thick fog, even the tallest trees.
" What should we do now, supreme hall master." asked one of the four all masters with a solemn expression on his face.
" We follow him." Answered Bloodbath in a cold icy tone as he dived within the endless poisonous thick fog.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At the same time, the other four hall masters also followed behind him without saying anything.
Let the hunt begin!!!!
