Chen Changqing and Little Black Tiger sped through the dense forest, their movements as swift as the wind, incredibly agile.

The flames of the Soul-Devouring Creation Black Lotus burned fiercely in Chen Changqing's mind, making his senses exceptionally sharp.

Chen Changqing moved with light steps, each step precisely landing on tree trunks, rocks, or soft fallen leaves, using the terrain to advance quickly.

The little black tiger followed closely behind, its limbs nimble, its black fur flying in the wind like a black lightning bolt.

Little Black's ears perked up, alertly sensing the movements around him, ready to deal with any sudden danger.

The trees in the dense forest are tall and dense, with intertwined branches and leaves, and sunlight filters through the gaps, casting dappled shadows.

Chen Changqing and Little Black Tiger moved through the light and shadow like two ghosts, their speed so fast that they were difficult to catch.

Their movements were fluid and coordinated, as if they had become one with the forest.

Chen Changqing's breathing was rapid but steady. He knew that only by remaining calm could he find a glimmer of hope in this life-or-death escape.

However, the Shadow Cat is faster.

"Meow……"

A mournful meow came from behind him, and Chen Changqing's heart sank.

He glanced back.

A dark gray shadow flashed through the woods, moving at a speed that was despair-inducing.

The eerie green eyes of the Shadow Cat gleamed with a cold light in the shadows.

"Damn it!" Chen Changqing gritted his teeth and roared, increasing his speed once again.

He knew that although he and Little Black Tiger were extremely fast, they were still no match for the Mist Shadow Demon Cat.

In just a moment, the Shadow Cat had caught up.

Suddenly, the Shadow Cat accelerated rapidly, closing in on Chen Changqing in an instant.

Its claws were like knives; with a gentle swipe, Chen Changqing's pants were torn, leaving a deep, half-inch-long bloodstain on his thigh.

The flesh was turned inside out, and fresh blood flowed out instantly.

Chen Changqing cried out in pain and fell to the ground with a thud. Because of the speed, he scraped the ground for several meters before coming to a stop.

His face was scratched by pebbles on the ground, leaving bloody marks.

"Awoo..." The little black tiger suddenly turned its head and pounced to fight the misty shadow demon cat.

"Meow..." The Shadow Cat let out a mocking cry, as if laughing at Little Black's overestimation of his abilities.

Anger gleamed in the little black tiger's eyes as it pounced on the Mist Shadow Cat without hesitation. Its black fur bristled in the wind, and a low growl escaped its throat.

Its claws gleamed with a cold light, aiming straight for the Mist Shadow Cat's throat.

However, the Shadow Cat was too fast; with a slight dodge, it avoided the little black tiger's attack.

"Meow..." The Shadow Cat let out an unpleasant cry, then slapped the little black tiger with its paw.

The little black tiger's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a large tree with a dull thud.

Its body slid to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Its black fur was stained red with blood, making it look particularly pitiful.

"Little Black!" Upon seeing this, Chen Changqing felt a sharp pain in his heart. He struggled to get up from the ground, wanting to rush over and save Little Black Tiger.

However, the wound on his leg was so deep that the bone was visible, and blood kept gushing out, causing excruciating pain with every movement.

His body swayed unsteadily, almost unable to stand.

The Shadow Cat did not kill Little Black Tiger immediately, but slowly walked to Little Black's side.

It gently pawed at the little black tiger's body, like a cat playing with a mouse.

The little black tiger struggled to raise its head, its eyes filled with pain and resentment.

But it still tried to struggle to its feet, letting out a low whimper.

"Beast! Let it go!" Chen Changqing roared, enduring the excruciating pain, and drew back the Dragon Tendon Carved Bow, shooting an arrow at the Mist Shadow Demon Cat.

The arrows were extremely fast, but the Mist Shadow Cat was exceptionally agile, easily dodging them.

The arrow grazed the body of the Mist Shadow Cat and embedded itself in a nearby tree trunk.

The Shadow Cat turned its head, its eerie green eyes coldly staring at Chen Changqing, a mocking smile playing on its lips.

With a light leap, it instantly appeared in front of Chen Changqing, and with a swipe of its sharp claws, three deep, bone-revealing bloody gashes appeared on Chen Changqing's chest.

Chen Changqing groaned, his body flying backward again, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Cough cough..." Chen Changqing struggled to lift his head, his body bleeding profusely, and his vision began to blur.

His chest burned with pain, and blood kept gushing from the wound, staining his clothes red.

"Huff huff..." Chen Changqing's breathing became rapid, and each breath brought intense pain.

The Shadow Cat did not kill Chen Changqing immediately, but slowly walked to his side, looked down at him, and its eyes were full of mockery.

It stretched out its paw and gently patted Chen Changqing's face, mocking his powerlessness.

Chen Changqing was filled with despair. He knew that he and Little Black Tiger had nowhere to escape.

"Am I really going to die here?" A sense of helplessness welled up in Chen Changqing's heart.

He glanced at the dying little black tiger not far away, his eyes filled with resentment.

The little black tiger was still struggling, trying to crawl toward him, but its body could no longer support it to stand up.

"Xiao Hei..." Chen Changqing's voice was hoarse, filled with extreme grief and indignation.

The Shadow Cat seemed to have had enough fun. A cruel glint flashed in its eyes as it slowly raised its claws, preparing to deliver the final blow to Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing closed his eyes, awaiting death.

However, at this critical moment, a sharp shout suddenly came from afar: "You beast, cease your arrogance!"

Immediately afterwards, a golden rope shot through the air at great speed, heading towards the Mist Shadow Cat.

The Shadow Cat finally got scared and fled at top speed.

But the rope was too fast, coiling around the Mist Shadow Cat like a serpent and binding it instantly.

The Shadow Cat let out a sharp hiss and struggled frantically, but the ropes tightened more and more, making it unable to move.

Chen Changqing suddenly opened his eyes and looked up.

A middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe leaped out from the woods, holding a long sword that gleamed with a cold light in his hand.

He exuded terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations from the ninth level of Qi Refining, clearly indicating that he was a master at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

I've seen this person before.

He is the patriarch of the Sun Clan, one of the three major immortal clans in Dayang County, and his name is Sun Dehai.

He is the Sun family of Dayang, a transcendent being whose combat power is second only to the Foundation Establishment Ancestor.

Speaking of which, Sun Dehai's youngest daughter, Sun Chuyu, had written love letters to him in her previous life.

When the original owner was fifteen years old, she wrote a love letter to the other party.

It took quite a long time to write.

However, the other party ignored the predecessor.

After that, they went to study together at the Xianling Cave's miscellaneous service office, becoming like senior and junior siblings.

However, she was the pride of the menial affairs department, while he was the worst performer in the Xianling Cave menial affairs department.

Gradually, their paths crossed again.

"Thank you, Immortal Master Sun, for saving my life!" A surge of joy at surviving a calamity welled up in Chen Changqing's heart, but as soon as he spoke, a sharp pain shot through his chest and back.

The pain made his vision go black.

The middle-aged man glanced coldly at the Mist Shadow Cat, then turned to Chen Changqing, sizing him up and down: "You know me?"

Chen Changqing began, "This junior, Chen Changqing, had the honor of meeting Senior Sun once before in Dayang County."

Sun Dehai nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Chen Changqing. Seeing that he was covered in blood and severely injured, he frowned slightly.

He casually pulled out two small jade bottles from his pocket, tossed them to Chen Changqing, and said indifferently, "These are 'Qingling Powder' and 'Hemostatic Powder'."

Qingling Powder can relieve pain.

Hemostatic powder can stop bleeding and heal wounds.

"Take care of the wound first, to prevent excessive blood loss."
