"Damn it, I need to escape as fast as I can! It's all because of Hu Jianyu; if it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't be in this mess."
As he fled beneath the earth, Ma Chen's heart pounded. He desperately wanted to get as far away as possible from that monster.
He pushed himself further, fear fueling his every step. The earth vanished around him as he ran, the sound of his own ragged breaths filling his ears.
He knew that if he stopped, even for a moment, it would be the end. He had to keep going, no matter what.
"I need to inform Hu Jianyu of this; he's the only one who can get me out of this mess! If Hu is definitely dead," Ma Chen thought to himself.
Despite his exhaustion, he couldn't allow himself to dwell on the possibility.
The stakes were too high, and he needed to focus on returning to the sect and telling Hu Jianyu everything.
