Chapter 314: Escape from the Red Fruit!
"Hm? What is that…?"
Having made her way out from the floating ship, the commander stood mid-air and looked over towards the south, when a bright red fruit shining brightly suddenly came flying over towards her. The two experts she had been on the lookout for soon followed as they appeared to be chasing after the red fruit. Fighting each other along the way.
"A Transcendent Grade spiritual herb!?" Realizing what the red fruit floating through the air was the moment she saw it, a brief hint of greed flashed through the commander's eyes as she soon focused her attention back onto the two experts moving over towards the herb while still locked in a fight with each other.
"If I could just grab it and run away… As long as I make it back, I should be safe…" Thinking about how she should proceed, the commander came up with an idea as she turned back towards the flying ship slowly moving into position a short distance away from her, as the captain was prepared to leave at any moment.
"Captain! Leave at the fastest speed possible and make your way back! I will catch up with you later!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Having already seen the red fruit floating towards them, the captain also had an idea as to what grade the herb was and understood how beneficial it would be if they managed to grab a hold of it.
Whoosh!
So, without wasting any time, the flying ship turned around a sped into the distance at its fastest speed possible. Easily surpassing the speed of an ordinary Domain Lord!
Seeing that the flying ship was retreating, the commander no longer waited and immediately moved over towards the red fruit.
Bang!
Grabbing hold of it as she felt a tremendous impact from the red fruit trying desperately to escape her grasp, but it was all to no avail, as the commander soon pulled the red fruit directly into her interspatial ring before turning around and flying away as fast as possible in the opposite direction of the two other Domain Lords approaching from the distance.
ROAR!
"How dare you steal my treasure!"
One loud beastly roar and an angry human roar could be heard as the demon beast and human expert stopped fighting each other upon seeing the red fruit being taken away in front of them.
Fwoosh!
Crackle~
Two large scale attacks were immediately launched towards the fleeing commander, as she was forced to come to a halt as a large barrier made of yellow qi surrounded her in the form of a giant lotus.
The attack from the demon beast and human seemed to have momentarily fused together, as both of them flew over and landed on the giant yellow lotus barrier of the commander.
One attack a fire-based attack, while the other was a lightning-based attack.
BOOM!
The fire and lighting from the two attacks perfectly complemented each other as a terrifying explosion occurred the moment the two partially merged attacks came in contact with the giant yellow lotus that surrounded and protected the commander.
Fwoosh~
Part of the attack was directly negated by the giant yellow lotus, as it instead ended up raining down on the treetops of the trees below. Instantly causing a forest fire to begin spreading rapidly and uncontrollably.
Crack!
The yellow lotus surrounding the commander just barely held up against the attack, as the person in question did not dare stay around any longer and wait for her two opponents to catch up with her, as she quickly turned around to escape again before another combined attack was launched towards her.
Whoosh~
ROAR!
"Come back here!"
Watching the commander having survived their attack now escaping, both the demon beast and human Domain Lord did not seem to care about anything else as they quickly chased after her. One angrily screaming all sorts of different profanities towards her, while the other was roaring loudly in what could only presumed to be not so kind words in whatever language that the demon beast was using…
…
Back on the ground, Feng Chen did not dare to stay around after he saw the woman who had appeared from the flying ship grabbing hold of the red fruit.
BOOM!
Barely making it out of the way as a terrifying explosion soon echoed out behind him as flames began to consume the jungle environment around him.
Boom boom boom
Several explosions soon followed after that, but each one grew fainter than the last. Signalling the fact that the source of the explosions was moving away from him and Zu Fei!
"Finally…"
Making his way out of the area affected by the forest fire, Feng Chen exhaustedly collapsed besides a few large rocks on a random mountainside. Gently laying Zu Fei down on the ground beside him, as he began to recover from the wounds, he had accumulated from the chase earlier.
Even if the two following behind him had no idea he was there in the first place, they still injured him and even knocked Zu Fei unconscious!
Rustle~
A few minutes passed by before Zu Fei began to shift around on the cold ground. Slowly opening her eyes as she cautiously began scanning her surroundings. Only calming down upon seeing Feng Chen sitting just next to her with her eyes closed.
"What happened- Ah! Why are we both covered in ash?! Even our robes are completely ruined!"
About to ask Feng Chen what had happened while she had been unconscious, Zu Fei quickly realized their current condition! Both of them looked no better than two beggars! No, even beggars would be in a better situation than they currently were when it came to appearance!
"Calm down, I managed to get away, we will just recover for a short time before moving back towards the sect… We will clean up after we return to the sect. After all, we might risk running into some random expert again if we take too long… At least we should not be too far away from the sect." After saying this, Feng Chen closed his eyes and began recovering his qi reserves again.
Zu Fei could not say anything in return and sat up before she began recovering her qi reserves as well. No matter what, she would have to take a long warm bath after she got back!
