Chapter 1385

1385 Piercing a Heart from 10,000 Miles

King Yu was quite clever, but it was a pity that he wasn’t smart enough, as he shouldn’t have provoked Jiang Chen from the beginning .

Jiang Chen had already resolved to kill this opponent . He didn’t plan to let him off the hook .

Jiang Chen didn’t even bother with picking up the spirit crystals that were on the ground . He used both the One Foot Apart World Technique and the Void Escape Technique . He managed to cross 1,000 miles with a single step and overtook his target .

King Yu was quite skilled when it came to running for his life, and the flames started burning behind his body to form a propelling force . His speed didn’t manage to reach void-level, but it was still quite high .

“You are probably aware that you don’t have any hope left,” Jiang Chen followed his target closely, trying to destabilize his mind with words .

King Yu curled his lips, while his expression became unsightly .

Fleeing from a battle was tantamount to losing it, and one would end up at the mercy of one’s opponent . This was why if he didn’t manage to escape successfully, his end would be miserable .

“I don’t believe that someone like you who is at the early stage can wear out a person at the intermediate stage such as me,” King Yu said to himself, hardening his resolve .

BANG!

King Yu’s speed multiplied, as if he had been sucked by the space in front of him . He turned into a flowing ray of light, and, after a short moment, a sonic boom echoed out .

King Yu seemed like a shooting star that streaked across the sky, and many of the people who had entered here were alarmed by such a sight .

“What is wrong with King Yu? If he continues consuming his power so intensely, what will he do once he faces a great battle?”

“It seems to me that he’s trying to run for his life . But there isn’t anyone behind him . ”

“Could it be that a supreme treasure appeared in a certain land . ”

Some people wanted to follow King Yu, but they quickly discovered that they couldn’t reach such a high speed, so they gave up .

After a long while, King Yu stopped in the sky atop a river .

“Ha, ha, ha, ha . ”

King Yu turned his head to take a look, and he didn’t see Jiang Chen . He didn’t believe that Jiang Chen could rush here before him . This was impossible!

COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!

King Yu laughed too loudly, even though he had already consumed so much of his power . This was why he ended up coughing intensely . He only managed to stop coughing with great difficulty, and he quickly consumed a whole bottle of pills .

“Hateful!”

A hideous look appeared on his face . He had ended up cutting a sorry figure while trying to kill Jiang Chen, and this was a great humiliation to him .

“I shouldn’t have escaped, as the lightning arcs weren’t probably any stronger than the raging flames,” King Yu started trying to comfort himself .

“When I get to meet him next time, I will surely teach him a severe lesson,” King Yu said to himself .

When he was about to move on, he raised his head suddenly and looked around warily as if he was facing a great enemy .

An intense sense of crisis welled up in his heart, but he still couldn’t see the enemy .

“That guy has surely been thrown off by me . So, who is it? Is it a demonic beast?”

When such a thought ran across King Yu’s mind, he quickly flew up to a high altitude .

Beasts weren’t usually able to fly . But his sense of danger still didn’t disappear . Instead, it had only become more intense .

What King Yu didn’t know was that four rays of light had flown past the track he had gone through, and the people that noticed finally understood what was happening .

“The Human Emperor Arrows!”

The four Human Emperor Arrows were following each other, and after they had crossed a certain distance, three Human Emperor Arrows hit each other and transmitted their power to the one at the front .

In the end, the sole remaining Human Emperor Arrow became so fast that it nearly couldn’t be seen by the naked eye .

“Awful!”

King Yu finally figured out what was happening . But he didn’t have enough time left . When he had just turned around, a light beam shot through his body, and it still didn’t come to a stop, but continued flying until it struck and destroyed a towering mountain’s peak .

“D*mn, d*mn it . ” King Yu lowered his head to take a look at the hole in his chest, while a helpless and frightened look was plastered on his face .

“I don’t want to, I don’t want to die! Imperial father, you must take revenge for me . ”

Words filled with unwillingness echoed all around, as King Yu fell out of the air .

In a place that wasn’t too far from the stone mountain, Jiang Chen lowered the Human Emperor Bow, while the helmet covering his face fell off by itself .

Jiang Chen waved his numb arm, before he went back on the road .

The Human Emperor power wasn’t considered external power, and he had practiced hard to become able to shoot four linked arrows .

After all, King Yu was an intermediate-stage Martial Emperor of the third-rank group, and if Jiang Chen had chased him, he wouldn’t have managed to take him down in a short while .

“It’s no wonder that the Sacred Spirits didn’t want to let the Young Human Emperor die, as the Human Emperor Bow is really a great slaughter artifact . ”

Jiang Chen thought about a certain rumor concerning the Sun-Shooting Bow that could shoot down the sun in the sky, and he couldn’t help but wonder whether it was genuine .

After Jiang Chen went back to the stone mountain, he was about to collect the remaining spirit crystals, but suddenly he saw a shocking sight . The stone mountain was walking around, and, even though most of it had already crumbled, its ruins were still moving around .

If one observed it carefully, one would discover a giant body beneath the ruins that had four feet . With every step it took, both the ground and mountains would shake, and the mountain’s stones would tumble down .

At first, Jiang Chen assumed that the great mountain had turned into a monster . But he quickly discovered that that wasn’t the case .

This was a giant beast, and the stone mountain was atop its back . While the beast was sleeping, it had contracted its whole body like a tortoise, and people outside weren’t able to recognize it .

Jiang Chen followed the beast and ended up walking for more than 100 miles . He wasn’t doing so because he was bored with nothing to do . It was just because after the stone mountain crumbled, more spirit crystals appeared and were falling on the ground as the giant beast walked around .

Jiang Chen managed to get many precious heavenly treasures in this way .

In the end, the giant beast entered a mountainous area, and it dawdled slightly before it coiled up its body once again .

If a person unaware of the truth had arrived, he would just have seen that this was a pile of ruins and wouldn’t imagine that a giant beast was underneath it .

Jiang Chen pondered over this matter for a moment, before he gave up on his idea of attacking . One of the reasons for this was that he didn’t want to, while the other was that he felt like he couldn’t beat it .

“Those ruins are really anything but simple . ”

Jiang Chen sighed with emotion and left the mountain region at his highest speed because he had felt an intense sense of crisis .

It was as if something was hidden within the lush forest, and it had set its eyes on him .

WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!

When Jiang Chen was about to leave, Xiao Ying jumped out and barked crazily toward the forest . He was obviously just a little pup, and his ferocious look seemed quite funny .

But Jiang Chen could tell that Xiao Ying was really looking hostile, and he realized that this matter was anything but simple .

Just after this, Xiao Ying bit at his clothes and pulled him toward the forest .

“Is there something related to divine lightning within the forest?” Jiang Chen asked .

Xiao Ying nodded and used his gaze to warn Jiang Chen and ask him to be careful .

“Okay . ”

At first, Jiang Chen didn’t plan to go inside, but since a Lightning Spirit had had such an intense reaction, there must be good stuff in there .

Jiang Chen soared into the sky, and, after he reached a high altitude, he was able to observe the whole forest with a glance . But this still wasn’t any different than observing a map . He had to go inside to know what was in there .

Jiang Chen put his hand on his sword hilt, before he dove down fast . He flew into the ground like a lightning bolt, and, when he landed on the ground, the lightning razed a huge area around him .

Jiang Chen had done this because he wanted to scare the creature eyeing him, while also trying to catch it off guard .

When Jiang Chen used his Holy Awareness to sweep this area, he detected several majestic auras of demonic beasts and giant beasts . But they didn’t belong to the creature eyeing him .

Xiao Ying landed on the ground and started showing Jiang Chen the way .

The human and the dog managed to quickly reach the forest’s depths that had innumerable giant trees that hid the sky . Anyone who walked here would have an eerie feeling .

“Well?”

Jiang Chen suddenly discovered something, and he waved the Immeasurable Ruler . He turned it into armor!

Just as Jiang Chen put on the black armor, his back suffered a heavy strike . He ended up being sent flying and knocked into many great trees in his way .

Jiang Chen bore his pain and exercised his power to regain his balance . It was then that he turned his head around to take a look, but he couldn’t discover anything .
