117: Chapter 117 Yang Xian'er Ran Away

The two of them chased and fled, quickly arriving at the pier.

The distance between the Grey-Robed Elder and Chen Hu was now less than five meters.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, a surge of finger energy tore through the Void Realm and shot toward Chen Hu's back.

Seeing that he was about to be struck by the finger energy, he suddenly turned and slashed at it with his saber.

Instantly, the immense force contained within the finger energy knocked him back several steps.

At that same moment, the Grey-Robed Elder lunged forward, his terrifying Aura crashing down like a mountain, causing Chen Hu's mind to feel heavy and his thoughts to dull.

"Little thief, you have finally fallen into my hands!" the Grey-Robed Elder laughed triumphantly, reaching out with a clawed hand toward Chen Hu's neck.

"Boom!"

But at that very moment, an overwhelming Aura erupted from Chen Hu's body, pressing directly against the Grey-Robed Elder.

Under the impact of this Aura, a wave of immense fear instantly flooded the Grey-Robed Elder's entire body.

It rendered his body stiff, as if he had been struck by an immobilization spell, leaving him standing rooted to the spot, completely unable to move.

"Clang!"

Chen Hu swung his long saber, slashing at the Grey-Robed Elder's neck.

"Ding!"

To his surprise, however, the blade could not even pierce the opponent's skin.

At that instant, the Grey-Robed Elder regained some clarity, retreated rapidly, and landed more than ten meters away, staring at Chen Hu with uncertainty and suspicion.

Just now, Chen Hu had unleashed an Aura of the Blood Refining Realm.

Under the impact of that Aura, he had momentarily lost control of his mind and body, but the force of the slash against his neck was, at most, only slightly stronger than that of an average Late Stage Marrow Refining expert.

Thinking of the earth-escaping technique Chen Hu possessed, he suddenly realized that the Blood Refining Realm Aura the guy had just released was likely simulated using some method, and he was not truly in the Blood Refining Realm.

"Little thief, I didn't expect you to have such tricks, but unfortunately, fake is fake!"

As he spoke, the Grey-Robed Elder, separated by over ten meters, flicked his fingers repeatedly.

Instantly, streaks of crimson finger energy shot continuously toward Chen Hu.

"Swish! Swish!"

Chen Hu immediately utilized the 'Phantom Steps' to dodge, creating a series of afterimages.

However, the Grey-Robed Elder was in the Organ Refining Realm, and his perception was simply too powerful to be fooled; he aimed directly at Chen Hu's true body.

For a moment, Chen Hu appeared somewhat disheveled.

But if one observed carefully, one would notice that there was not a trace of panic in his eyes; instead, he appeared exceptionally calm.

Second-layer Saber Intent!

Chen Hu slashed out several times with the long saber in his hand. With the augmentation of the Second-layer Saber Intent, both the power and speed of his saber technique increased significantly.

In an instant, he shattered the finger energy shot by the Grey-Robed Elder.

Then, wielding his long saber, he transformed into a blur and charged toward the Grey-Robed Elder.

Because he was wary of Chen Hu's Aura impact.

Seeing Chen Hu charging toward him, he chose to increase the distance.

At the same time, he continuously flicked finger energy, aiming at Chen Hu's vital points and meridians.

"Soul Pierce!"

At this moment, a Soul needle condensed and appeared.

It suddenly appeared in the Grey-Robed Elder's Sea of Consciousness and ruthlessly pierced his unformed Divine Soul.

"Ah!"

The Grey-Robed Elder let out a miserable scream, and his face turned deathly pale.

Immediately, he clutched his head and rolled on the ground.

Before long.

The Grey-Robed Elder's voice grew weaker and weaker, and finally, his life force completely vanished.

Looking at the Grey-Robed Elder's corpse, Chen Hu was somewhat surprised. He had been dealt with just like that?

Suddenly, Chen Hu thought of the Bad Luck Card that had not yet taken effect.

Could it be the effect of the Bad Luck Card that caused the Grey-Robed Elder to be instantly killed by his Soul Pierce?

"What a pity!"

He hadn't even had the chance to copy the Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill from the opponent.

This corpse could not be wasted either.

Thus, he waved his hand and stored it into his Storage Ring.

Just as he intended to go find Princess Yang Xianer, he noticed a figure rapidly flying toward the pier.

Was it not that Princess Yang Xianer?

Princess Yang Xianer looked around and, discovering only Chen Hu and no Grey-Robed Elder, couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart: "Where did Uncle Fu go?"

The next moment.

She decisively turned and left.

Because Uncle Fu's disappearance made her feel uneasy.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Chen Hu let out a soft shout and struck Princess Yang Xianer's Divine Soul with a Soul Pierce.

But to Chen Hu's surprise, a layer of golden light emerged from Princess Yang Xianer's Divine Soul, blocking the Soul needle and shattering it.

Before the Soul needle shattered, Chen Hu saw a golden token within Princess Yang Xianer's Divine Soul.

It was the golden light released by that token that had blocked the Soul Pierce attack.

Sensing an attack on her Divine Soul, Princess Yang Xianer's expression turned to shock, and she fled even faster.

"Hmph, I want to see how many times you can block it!"

Chen Hu utilized his movement technique to chase after her, while simultaneously unleashing another Soul Pierce to attack Princess Yang Xianer's Divine Soul.

This time, it was again blocked by the golden light released by the golden token, which shattered the Soul needle.

Thus, Chen Hu unleashed the Soul Pierce again.

Three times.

Four times.

Five times.

...

After unleashing the Soul Pierce eight consecutive times, Chen Hu noticed that the golden light released by the golden token had dimmed significantly.

Clearly, the golden token also consumed energy.

At the same time, Chen Hu took advantage of this time to copy a Heaven-grade high-tier Cultivation Technique from Princess Yang Xianer, which was called 'Tian Yuan Technique'.

Moreover, through the copy card, Chen Hu discovered that Princess Yang Xianer also possessed two Heaven-grade Martial Skills and four Earth-grade high-tier Martial Skills.

This discovery made Chen Hu unable to stop himself from thinking internally: "She is simply a Treasure Trove girl!"

He decided not to kill Princess Yang Xianer; at most, he would cripple her cultivation, lock her up, copy all the Martial Skills from her, and then kill her.

Just after Princess Yang Xianer was hit by Chen Hu's Soul Pierce for the ninth time.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks and shouted: "Stop!"

"Who exactly are you? Can you tell me what grievances exist between us?"

"The former dynasty's royal family must all die!"

Chen Hu said with a sinister tone.

"You are a person from the Great Yong Court?" Princess Yang Xianer was shocked.

"Stop talking nonsense, go to hell!"

Chen Hu activated the Soul Pierce again, and for a moment, the golden light released by the golden token in Princess Yang Xianer's Divine Soul dimmed a bit more.

This made Princess Yang Xianer's expression change again; she knew that if the golden token's energy was exhausted, she would likely face death.

Finally, gritting her teeth, a jade pendant appeared in her hand.

"Not good, this girl is going to escape!"

Seeing the jade pendant appear in her hand, Chen Hu's figure flickered; with man and saber as one, he slashed out a blood-red saber light.

Just as the saber light was about to strike Princess Yang Xianer, the jade pendant suddenly released a light shield that enveloped her entire body, and then, it vanished from the spot with Princess Yang Xianer.

Then, Chen Hu discovered that in just one second, Princess Yang Xianer had vanished from his Spiritual Sense.

One must know that the range covered by his Spiritual Sense had reached a radius of five thousand meters.

Thus, Chen Hu took out the radar card.

Previously, Chen Hu had used the radar card to place a mark on Princess Yang Xianer.

As long as she did not escape beyond a radius of one hundred miles, he still had hope of catching up and capturing her.

But very quickly, Chen Hu was disappointed.

Because he discovered that Princess Yang Xianer was still accelerating, and after only a short while, she also vanished from the radar card's range.

"What a huge loss!"

Thinking of the two Heaven-grade Martial Skills on Princess Yang Xianer, Chen Hu let out a long sigh; fortunately, it wasn't too much of a loss, as at least he had copied a Heaven-grade high-tier Cultivation Technique from her.
