In the Purple Sun Mountain Range, amidst the dense forest, two figures were racing wildly.
These two were none other than Fang Chen and Lian Yiyue.
Suddenly, Fang Chen stumbled, and his body, influenced by inertia, was about to crash into an ancient tree ahead.
A flash of concern crossed Lian Yiyue's beautiful eyes. With a gentle lift of her delicate hand, a soft force quickly wrapped around Fang Chen's waist, stabilizing his body just before he collided with the tree.
"Let's take a break," Lian Yiyue said as she came to a halt.
Looking at the pale-faced youth before her, Lian Yiyue's fair complexion still bore a hint of shock. The five severe Qi Energy blasts from the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man, which could have severely injured an ordinary Transcendence Realm Warrior, had actually been neutralized by this young man, even while he was fleeing.
Aside from initially shattering a jade pendant to release a light blue shield for her protection, she had completely acted as a spectator, watching Fang Chen's astonishing display of power without any opportunity to intervene. As someone who held the title of Heavenly Proud Daughter in the Charming Immortal Sect and was considered the most outstanding among her peers, it was the first time she felt a sense of frustration within herself.
Although she knew Fang Chen was formidable, it was only when he unleashed all his abilities that Lian Yiyue suddenly realized that his strength surpassed their expectations by a significant margin. Despite both being at the Body Refinement Realm Ninth Layer, the gap between Fang Chen and her had grown to an extent that made it hard for her to catch up.
"This freak," Lian Yiyue muttered silently in her heart.
However, even so, seeing Fang Chen's bloodless face and recalling how close he had come to crashing into the tree made Lian Yiyue aware that although Fang Chen's power far exceeded that of other warriors at the same level—truly remarkable—neutralizing all five blasts of severe Qi Energy from the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man had still taken a tremendous toll on him.
As Lian Yiyue had guessed, Fang Chen had indeed exhausted himself completely. He had even unleashed two blasts of Destruction Light in one go and was now running on empty.
It should be noted that before Fang Chen entered seclusion, a single Destruction Light would have drained all his Vital Energy. Even after eight days of seclusion and some increase in strength, two blasts of Destruction Light were already nearing his limit.
With those two blasts gone, ten percent of his Power of Creation had already been depleted. Afterward, using the Azure Ancient Lamp to release faint purple flames was only possible under extremely strained conditions. Moreover, after doing all this, Fang Chen had no chance to catch his breath and had to continue fleeing.
Exhausted and with the Power of Creation nearly depleted, this was when the earlier incident of almost crashing into a tree occurred.
"We can't stop now." Fang Chen bit his tongue, the pain forcing his somewhat hazy consciousness to awaken.
Having experienced both being hunted and hunting in his past life, Fang Chen was well aware that they had not truly escaped danger. Although the current Purple Sun Mountain Range was unlikely to have any martial artists above the Qi Boundary entering, given the deep-seated hatred displayed by the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man, Fang Chen had no confidence that merely being in the Purple Sun Mountain Range would deter him.
If the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man had followed them into the Purple Sun Mountain Range, he could very well be close behind them. Inside the Purple Sun Mountain Range, although flying and using Divine Consciousness Power were prohibited, significantly reducing the capabilities of a Primordial Embryo Realm Martial Artist, they had entered one after another and were not very far apart. Therefore, if they stopped to rest now, it was still highly likely they would be caught up to.
Moreover, even without the threat of the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man, looking at the surrounding lush trees with no other obstacles in sight, Fang Chen would not choose to rest in this place.
After all, the current Purple Sun Mountain Range had become an extremely dangerous hunting ground, especially with his Qi Energy completely exhausted. He needed to act cautiously. Fang Chen did not want to find himself in a situation where he could easily stumble.
Lian Yiyue opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but seeing the determination in Fang Chen's dark eyes, she shook her head helplessly.
Then, gritting her teeth as if making a decision, she reached out and gently grabbed Fang Chen's waist. After a dizzying spin, he found himself lying on Lian Yiyue's back.
Feeling the softness beneath him and catching a faint fragrance in the air, even Fang Chen, who remained unflinching in the face of being pursued by a Primordial Embryo Realm Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man, was completely taken aback.
In his past life, burdened by blood feuds and constantly walking on the edge of danger, despite being a powerful figure in the Heavenly Realm, he had always been alone and kept a distance from women. In this life, it was even more so; having just been reborn and facing a wave of perilous situations ahead, he simply did not have the leisure or time for such thoughts.
Thus, having lived two lives, Fang Chen was utterly inexperienced in this regard—like a blank sheet of paper.
A faint fragrance lingered in the air, and the softness beneath Fang Chen seemed to melt his heart. His already hazy consciousness felt as if it were floating at that moment.
Exhausted, Fang Chen felt as if he were lying on a soft, fluffy bed. He gently moved his body, greedily inhaling the delicate scent beneath him.
"Don't move around," Lian Yiyue scolded, sensing something unusual behind her.
This was Fang Chen's first experience in such a situation. Little did he know that for Lian Yiyue, who was regarded as the Heavenly Proud Daughter of the Charming Immortal Sect, it was also her first time being so close to someone of the opposite sex, especially in such close proximity. Although there was clothing between them, the unfamiliar masculine aura and warmth from behind her caused her calm heart to begin to stir.
A rosy hue had already spread across Lian Yiyue's fair face. Even though she was from the Charming Immortal Sect, she should not have been unfamiliar with matters between men and women, even if she had not personally experienced them. She should not have felt this flustered. However, contrary to expectations, under certain individuals' deliberate arrangements, Lian Yiyue was not much better off than the blank-minded Fang Chen.
When Lian Yiyue scolded him sharply, it brought Fang Chen, whose consciousness was still somewhat floating, back to reality. As he recalled what he had done earlier, his face turned red with embarrassment.
"Stop overthinking it. Focus on recovering your strength as soon as possible. Don't worry about anything else; I will handle it," Lian Yiyue said after taking a deep breath to calm herself. Yet even so, a slight tremor could still be heard in her seemingly calm voice.
Hearing Lian Yiyue's feigned calmness, Fang Chen smiled. Then, pressing against her back, he lightly nodded his head and forcefully suppressed his distracting thoughts, beginning to focus on recovering his energy.
Fang Chen understood that every minute he delayed in regaining his strength in the Purple Sun Mountain Range meant an additional minute of danger for both him and Lian Yiyue.
Feeling the steady rhythm of breathing behind her, the flush on Lian Yiyue's face receded slightly. She bit her lip and scanned her surroundings before quickly choosing a direction and leaving their original spot with Fang Chen on her back.
...
The moon was faint and stars sparse; the dark night enveloped the land. The lush trees of the Purple Sun Mountain Range appeared even more eerie in the deep night.
Suddenly, a series of hurried sounds echoed through the air, and the grass and leaves in the forest rustled as if something was rapidly approaching this place.
From a distance, a strange figure could be seen. Although its body appeared slender, there was a large bulge on its back, as if it was carrying something unusual. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the bulge on its back was actually another person.
“Li Junyao!” Lian Yiyue spat out the name with anger, feeling the sounds coming from behind her. Her pretty face turned slightly cold, and her steps quickened.
“Quick, catch them!” A loud shout came from afar.
Several dozen yards behind Lian Yiyue, two figures with strong auras were present. The shout had come from the leader among them, a young man dressed in purple robes. He had a somewhat sickly pale complexion and a faint smile that seemed somewhat sinister.
His gaze was fixed firmly on Lian Yiyue's back, and a lewd glint flashed in Li Junyao's eyes.
“Charming Immortal Sect’s Celestial Maiden—Lian Yiyue,” he murmured. As he spoke, he extended his tongue to lightly lick his lips, looking at Lian Yiyue as if she were prey.
“Hey, I wonder who that man on Lian Yiyue's back is? The Celestial Maiden of the Charming Immortal Sect actually carrying a man; this news is truly explosive,” said a short figure beside Li Junyao, who looked like a young boy and laughed creepily.
“Shut up!” Li Junyao snapped angrily. “Is she someone you can discuss? Hurry up and think of a way to catch her; otherwise, we’ll both die here!”
“Catch her and then offer her to that waste Azure Vine for protection? Hehe, Li Junyao, you really are a guy with thieving intentions but no guts,” the boy mocked.
“Azure Vine may be useless, but he has a good backing. If we don’t temporarily rely on them now, how can we escape this Purple Sun Mountain Range?” Facing the boy's mockery, Li Junyao remained calm and simply replied.
As soon as the words were spoken, the boy seemed to recall something, and his expression changed instantly from mockery to a look of dread and fear.
"Those damned Hunters," the boy cursed angrily.
Then, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lian Yiyue, who was fleeing rapidly in the distance, knowing that he couldn't catch up in such a short time. Gritting his teeth, he took out a piece of black cloth from his pocket, about the size of a handkerchief.
"Split!" the boy exclaimed lightly as he brushed his hand over the black cloth.
A flash of Black Radiance passed by, and the black cloth vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a puddle of something that resembled black gravel.
"Go!"
The boy thrust his hand forward, hurling the black gravel towards Lian Yiyue's direction.
Whoosh...
Within the Purple Sun Mountain Range, a sudden gust of black wind swept around Lian Yiyue.
