Translator: 549690339
A Great Grandmaster.
“I am Hu Shan from Jianzun Cliff, my apologies for not informing you before, it was a matter of urgency!”
Meng Chong greeted.
The imposing Great Grandmaster seemed to be taken aback, and his aura subsided a little.
Hu Shan from Jianzun Cliff?
Immediately after, he noticed the black-robed Great Grandmaster.
His gaze sharpened. Which Great Grandmaster had the audacity to pursue Hu Shan of Jianzun Cliff!
“It’s best for you to stay out of this!”
The black-robed Great Grandmaster said coldly and stormed into the city, continuing his pursuit of Meng Chong.
“Command them to obstruct the bald-headed person in the eastern city!”
The black-robed figure abruptly ordered.
Colors drained from Meng Chong’s face, realizing there were people from the opposing force inside the city.
Indeed, two shadows came charging towards them, both Grandmaster Martial Artists.
“Not good!”
Meng Chong’s face changed. Besides the Grandmaster martial artists, there was also a demi-Great Grandmaster closing in for the kill.
We can’t stay here much longer!
If he was blocked, he’d be caught up by the Great Grandmaster and that would spell trouble.
“Move!”
Meng Chong turned and fled in another direction, his blade cut down the obstructing Grandmaster. A golden light shone all around him; he took to the sky, leaving the city behind.
At that moment, he executed the Thunder Wrath Aerial Technique to the extreme; his Golden Buddha Body energy surged, within his energy aperture, a vortex-like energy was swirling.
At some point, Meng Chong’s speed dramatically increased.
His Thunder Wrath Aerial Technique had a small breakthrough!
His speed increase created a gap between him and the Great Grandmaster. However, the Great Grandmaster relentlessly pursued, not giving him a moment to catch his breath.
“Relentless fool!”
Grumbling, Meng Chong glanced back and saw the Great Grandmaster popping spiritual medicine to refill the depleted energy.
“Let’s see who can outlast the other!”
Meng Chong took out an Earth Spirit Root and swallowed it down.
Rumble!
The energy of his Golden Buddha Body circulated, refining the spiritual medicine and at the same time, impacting his energy aperture, creating the fourth aperture.
Three days passed in this manner between the pursuer and the pursued.
The black-robed figure was relentless, always nearby, showing no sign of giving up.
There were also rumors spreading that a Great Grandmaster was pursuing Xie Lingfeng.
Following that, an amendment was made to the rumor specifying it was Hu Shan from Jianzun Cliff being pursued by the Great Grandmaster!
“You want to chase, then chase!”
Meng Chong grumbled again.
He had consumed another Earth Spirit Root, he was not far from a full breakthrough in his Golden Buddha Body cultivation level.
Meng Shushu breathed a sigh of relief. After Meng Chong’s technique had a breakthrough, the Great Grandmaster was unable to close the gap, nor was there a need to guard against any residual energy. He was also gradually recovering from his injuries.
However, he remained deeply worried.
The relentless persecution from the black-robed man and the rumors of Meng Chong impersonating Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan were probably spreading. If the powerful people of Jianzun Cliff were to hear about it, they might demand an explanation.
If that happened, they would be hit before and after, leading to dire consequences!
Meng Chong spoke. “All for you, I have risked everything. I’ve already eaten four Earth Spirit Roots, my losses are huge!”
If he had taken them back to be refined into medicine by his junior sister, wouldn’t the effects have been much better?
The more Meng Chong thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
There were only eight Earth Spirit Roots in total, and he had consumed half of them already!
The only saving grace was that he was about to have a breakthrough with his Golden Buddha Body technique.
“Brother Meng, I can’t thank you enough!”
Meng Shushu said, clenching his fist.
He already owed Meng Chong his life, owing him a little more didn’t matter anymore.
“From now on, you must strive hard. Search for more spiritual medicine, harvest more rare spiritual medicine, strive to buy me a storage bag sooner.”
“You cannot continue to slack off, or else you won’t be able to repay my life-saving grace,
right?” Meng Chong nagged.
Meng Shushu was numbed. How could such a rugged man nag so much?
He kept repeating that he needed to work harder, to harvest more rare spiritual medicine, to buy him a storage bag…
Listening to it made his head fill with voices urging him to work harder…
“Brother Meng, rest assured, I will work hard and strive to be able to afford a storage bag as soon as possible!”
Meng Shushu said solemnly.
“Great, that’s the spirit. I believe in you!” Meng Chong joyfully responded.
Rumble!
At a certain moment, he broke through with his Golden Buddha Body technique.
After breaking through to the minor success stage with his Golden Buddha Body technique, Meng Chong abruptly halted, turned back to face the pursuing Great Grandmaster. His body shone golden and expanded drastically.
The terrifying aura caused Meng Shushu’s heart to palpitate!
“Cut!”
Meng Chong swung his sword, which followed the breakthrough of his Golden Buddha Body technique.
Bang!
A domineering slash swept across the sky, aiming straight at the man in the black robe!
“I won’t let you go, I must kill you!”
The man in the black robe blocked the strike, his heart filled with trepidation; his opponent’s strength had grown so much stronger.
This was a considerable threat, he, the Great Grandmaster, would be in danger if the other party’s strength continued to improve.
“Great Grandmaster, as expected, is hard to kill!”
Meng Chong sighed.
Even with his breakthrough in the minor achievement of the Vajra Body, his all-out strike was still unable to injure the Great Grandmaster.
Meng Shushu rolled his eyes. Did they think the Great Grandmaster was a piece of cabbage, a mere chop away from being killed?
Meng Chong continued on his escape.
“Only when Vajra Body reaches major achievement, will I have the strength to kill him. But in a short period of time, I won’t be able to achieve that.”
Meng Chong furrowed his brows.
Even if he consumed all the Spiritual Medicine on him, he still couldn’t achieve the major accomplishment of the Vajra Body.
Was he meant to continue this stalemate indefinitely?
Any delay might lead to changes!
“I wonder where my senior brother is.”
Meng Chong was somewhat helpless.
He thought of his eldest senior brother, Xu Yan. If he could join hands with Xu Yan, they should be able to deal with the Great Grandmaster on their tail.
“If senior brother has achieved the major achievement in the Innate Realm, he should be able to kill the Great Grandmaster.”
He was now feeling quite the headache.
“Should I go find Xie Lingfeng?”
Meng Chong thought of Xie Lingfeng. If he went to the Sword Venerable Cliff to find Xie Lingfeng, could he escape from this predicament?
“Keep it as it is for now, and see how it goes. If it really doesn’t work out, maybe it’s time to go to the Sword Venerable Cliff?”
“No, I have already used Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan’s names. If the people at the Sword Venerable Cliff found out, they should come for me. If Xie Lingfeng knew, he should be able to guess it was me.”
After pondering these thoughts, Meng Chong continued evading, keen to see who could outlast whom!
“Who exactly is the enemy of my junior sister? There is more than one Great Grandmaster, and there are probably even stronger Great Grandmasters.”
Meng Chong was secretly in shock.
No wonder his junior sister had to hide away in the remote wilderness. The enemy’s power was too formidable.
“Brother Meng, what if another Great Grandmaster comes after us?”
Meng Shushu asked anxiously.
The man in the black robe was relentless, vowing not to stop until they were dead.
The enemy’s power was likely to possess more than one Great Grandmaster.
Meng Chong was too powerful, and since he had offended them, they would certainly try every possible means to eradicate him or he would surely become a threat in the future.
Therefore, another Great Grandmaster might actually come!
“If it really comes to that, I’ll go to the Sword Venerable Cliff!”
Meng Chong said through gritted teeth.
“But the Sword Venerable Cliff is too far from here!”
Meng Shushu uttered in a helpless manner.
“Back to Dayue Kingdom!”
Meng Chong said solemnly.
In case they really couldn’t shake off their pursuer, or even if a second or third Great Grandmaster came for them, they would have no choice but to flee back to Yunshan County.
The strength of their master was formidable; any number of Great Grandmasters would certainly meet their demise!
As long as they were killed, no one would know that they had escaped to the wilderness.
These were Meng Chong’s thoughts.
When Xu Yan learned of Meng Chong being hunted by a Great Grandmaster, he was filled with rage, and without any delay headed directly to the border of the Yan Kingdom.
Reaching a large city, he descended with such imposing force that all the Great Grandmasters in the city pretended to see nothing; they were too afraid of the young man who was radiating an intense aura.
Xu Yan, bearing the jade token given by the lady in the plain dress, went to the Tianbao Pavilion for the latest information.
After obtaining the intelligence, he took to the skies, following the direction of Meng Chong’s escape as provided by the Tianbao Pavilion.
All the way, there was no sign of Meng Chong.
He was feeling somewhat anxious.
Upon reaching a small city, he promptly entered the Tianbao Pavilion within the city to receive new information with his jade token. The news he obtained was Meng Chong had left a certain large city and speculated to be heading towards Dayue Kingdom.
“Since 1 know about my junior brother’s approximate escape direction, the enemy could know it too!”
Thinking this, Xu Yan’s face slightly changed and he became more anxious.
Just as he left the small city, a falcon descended.
It was a falcon from the Sword Venerable Cliff!
Xu Yan took the envelope, quickly skimmed through it, looked in a certain direction, and disappeared from where he stood in an instant.
“Junior brother is heading this way, and the distance should not be too far. The Great Grandmaster’s aura is intense, and it should be easy to detect.”
Xu Yan stood atop a high peak, looking around.
Suddenly, a faint golden beam, far away, flew across the sky.
“Junior brother!”
Xu Yan was overjoyed. With one step, he vanished from where he stood and went straight towards it..
