142: Chapter 142 Just now you were chasing after me, wasn't that awesome?

"Who is Chen Shanzhi? Is he famous?" The three were stunned. The name sounded familiar, but they couldn't place it for a moment.

"He is Chen Shanzhi, the Heir Apparent of the current dynasty's Marquis of Zhenguo!" Zhang Qing added hurriedly.

At these words, the three reacted instantly, their faces changing drastically!

The Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Zhenguo?

How could such a person go to another county for official business?

And he even fucking ran into the village to beg for food because he was starving?

These people were definitely here for their secret base!

"Fuck! We were played by this little brat!"

"Do it! Kill them! Leave no one alive!"

The three reacted instantly, their terrifying Xuanguan Peak killing intent erupting like a volcano!

However, at the same moment Zhang Qing shouted the name...

Chen Shanzhi, who had been holding the silver with both hands and a fawning smile, pretending to be harmless...

His slightly hunched body suddenly tensed.

A fierce light exploded in his eyes!

"Do it!"

Chen Shanzhi gave a deafening roar.

"Boom!"

The True Essence of the Xuan Guan Ten Apertures within his body was no longer held back, surging wildly like a bursting dam!

Chen Shanzhi directly executed the Spirit Sparrow Steps, which had already reached Minor Achievement.

He turned into an afterimage, charging straight toward Murong Yun, who was not far from the three!

*Swoosh!*

The moment Chen Shanzhi roared out...

Jiang Feiyu, who had been staring intently at his back, reacted with extreme speed!

A rare coldness flashed in her eyes.

Her fingertip tapped lightly on the Academy Waist Token.

*Clang!*

A long saber gleaming with chilling light appeared in her hand instantly!

"Kill!"

Jiang Feiyu didn't waste a word, gripping the heavy saber and charging toward Chen Shanzhi!

Her goal was clear: cover Chen Shanzhi!

Murong Yun's guard and Zhao Er followed closely behind.

Then, the four guards brought by Ouyang Wanqing and Shen Lingfu also unsheathed their weapons without hesitation.

They spread out their formation in tacit agreement, like four terrifying meat grinders, pouncing toward the God-Invoking Cult lackeys holding torches!

In an instant, blades flashed, and flesh and blood flew!

Seeing six Xuanguan Peak Martial Artists on the opposite side, surprise showed in the eyes of the three.

The enemy had come prepared!

Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield...

With his Minor Achievement Spirit Sparrow Steps, Chen Shanzhi had rushed like a ghost to within five paces of the three!

His target, of course, was not these three.

But Murong Yun, who was thrown at their feet like a dead dog!

"Courting death!"

Seeing Chen Shanzhi dare to deliver himself to them, the three were first stunned, then a look of wild joy appeared on their faces.

There was a path to heaven but you didn't take it, and no gate to Hell yet you barged in!

Since you are the Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Zhenguo, as long as we capture you alive, we can not only resolve today's crisis but even take the opportunity to control the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion!

"Capture him!"

Three Xuanguan Peak top experts moved simultaneously with perfect coordination.

"Black Sand Palm!"

"Bone-Crushing Punch!"

"Yin Wind Claw!"

Three terrifying True Essence attacks, carrying a nauseating scent of blood, completely blocked all of Chen Shanzhi's retreats and descended upon him!

This combined strike of the three would force even a fellow Xuanguan Peak expert to temporarily avoid the brunt!

But Chen Shanzhi had no intention of dodging.

One of his hands had already accurately grabbed Murong Yun's collar!

Facing the three terrifying attacks about to crush him into meat paste, Chen Shanzhi's gaze was extremely focused, his pupils not even trembling.

"Bullet Time!"

Chen Shanzhi muttered in his heart.

*Hum—*

At that instant.

In Chen Shanzhi's field of vision.

The sounds of the entire world suddenly became ethereal and long.

The three's originally swift movements, the cruel and twisted expressions on their faces, the trajectories of the True Essence erupting from their fingertips...

At this moment, it was as if someone had pressed a slow-motion button dozens of times over, becoming sluggish.

Fortunately, Chen Shanzhi had broken through to the Xuan Guan Ten Apertures; Bullet Time could now last for 0.6 seconds.

But in a life-and-death struggle, 0.6 seconds was enough!

"Up!"

The muscles in Chen Shanzhi's right arm suddenly bulged, and he crudely yanked Murong Yun off the ground with raw force!

Then, his body incredibly twisted into an exaggerated angle.

Stomping hard on the ground, the two were like slippery loaches.

They precisely and perilously slipped through the gaps of the three slowly advancing terrifying attacks!

*Shua!*

The 0.6 seconds ended, and Bullet Time was deactivated!

*Boom!*

The three terrifying attacks violently struck the ground where Chen Shanzhi had just been standing.

Directly blasting a large crater into the soil, sending dirt flying!

However, to their shocked eyes...

Chen Shanzhi had actually flickered like a ghost, abruptly appearing several yards away in an instant!

Not only was he unharmed, but he was even steadily holding the unconscious Murong Yun!

"How is this possible?"

The tall, thin man's dead-fish eyes bulged as he cried out in disbelief:

"He's just at the Xuan Guan Ten Apertures; how could he possibly dodge our combined attack?"

But after his shock, a greedy, fiery light exploded in the depths of his eyes.

"Such a mysterious and unpredictable movement technique... it's definitely at the Mystic Grade, maybe even a top-tier Saint Grade movement technique!"

The tall, thin man licked his lips excitedly. "As expected of the Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Zhenguo; this kid is definitely covered in treasures!"

"Second and Third, we absolutely cannot let him escape!

As long as we capture him, those six Xuanguan Peak guards will be forced to hold back!"

"Go!"

These three didn't take Chen Shanzhi seriously at all.

In their view, that weird dodge just now was merely relying on a top-tier movement technique to be clever.

And as a Xuan Guan Ten Apertures Martial Artist carrying a living person...

With such a movement technique, his True Essence capacity would never allow him to use it a second time.

*Swoosh swoosh swoosh!*

The three once again performed their movement techniques with perfect coordination, turning into three afterimages and pursuing Chen Shanzhi as tenaciously as maggots on a bone!

They were so fast that in the blink of an eye, they appeared behind Chen Shanzhi!

The sharp claw wind even touched the clothes on Chen Shanzhi's back!

"Damn, Murong Yun, after we get back, I'm definitely going to rip you off big time."

With his back to the three, Chen Shanzhi, dragging Murong Yun, had no time to dodge and had to immediately activate Bullet Time again.

*Hum—*

The world slowed down again.

Without even looking back, Chen Shanzhi hurriedly took off, carrying Murong Yun.

Under the snail-paced pursuit of the three Hall Masters, he sprinted away!

After 0.6 seconds, time returned to normal.

The three Hall Masters' sharp claw winds only shattered an afterimage left by Chen Shanzhi.

Meanwhile, Chen Shanzhi himself had successfully regrouped with Jiang Feiyu and the others who were charging toward him!

*Thud.*

Chen Shanzhi quickly tossed the dead-pig-like Murong Yun into Uncle Biao's arms.

Then he slowly turned around.

That originally kind and fawning face was now replaced by a murderous aura.

Chen Shanzhi arrogantly cracked his wrists, letting out a series of "crack-crack" sounds.

He looked up, his eyes like cold stars, staring icily at the three men with ugly expressions.

"Damn it."

Chen Shanzhi pointed at the three of them, his tone extremely arrogant:

"Was chasing me just now fun?"
