Chapter 80 The Chase

near...

Nearly.

Chen Fan was speechless.

He and his group of tamed beasts hid in a recessed area on the cliff, only to discover that the two sides chasing and fleeing below were getting closer and closer to their position!

Under the cover of the "Shadow Curtain," Chen Fan leaned against a large rock on his left and peeked out.

The spot where he stood was a protruding part of the cliff face, offering a wide view.

The ground is just over five meters below.

The canopy of a large tree on the ground completely covered his small area.

Chen Fan gently parted the leaves and looked at the two people being chased.

It's getting closer...

When the two closed the distance again, Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat!

It really is Zhen Qing and Ye Hao!

After confirming that it was these two people, Chen Fan's heart was in his throat!

He didn't know what level of cultivation Zhen Qing, the deputy leader of the War God Pioneer Group, possessed.

But Zhen Qing was clearly carrying a level 16 flying beast, so why was he being chased so relentlessly that he had nowhere to go?

Being able to possess a level 16 beast tamer means one's own strength must be at least at the fourth rank or higher.

The level 16 beast is not here, and Ye Hao has not summoned any beasts either... Does this mean that their beasts have either been killed or seriously injured and recalled to the beast space?

To be able to beat Zhen Qing so badly...

What exactly is inside that black mist?

Chen Fan took a deep breath, opened WeChat, and sent a message to his master Zhang Hai: "Master, I saw Zhen Qing, the deputy leader of the War God Pioneer Group, and Ye Hao, a student from the War God Academy, being chased."

"The people chasing them were shrouded in a black mist, making it impossible to tell whether they were male or female."

"They are very likely in cahoots with the people who were killed by Senior Brother Bai before."

"They're coming this way."

"Don't worry about me, I'm using the Crimson-Eyed Ghost Ape's 'Shadow Curtain' to hide on the cliff."

"Send someone to help quickly, or it will be too late!"

With that, Chen Fan sent his location to Zhang Hai and then closed WeChat.

After arriving at the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, he silenced his "cell phone," so he didn't need to worry about Zhang Hai calling later.

Now, all we can do is hope that Zhang Hai can contact the city lord's mansion and find experts to come to our aid.

Chen Fan tightened his grip on the long sword.

As Zhen Qing and Ye Hao rushed up the mountain, he finally got a clear view of their situation!

Cracks appeared in Zhen Qing's armor, and he was covered in blood.

Especially on her left hand, a sword wound extended from her elbow to her wrist, and even her arm armor was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, a shocking sight!

In her right hand, she held a large, oddly shaped gun that was over a foot long.

Blood was dripping from her arm, running down the muzzle of the big gun!

Ye Hao's injuries were much lighter than Zhen Qing's, but his body was still covered in blood.

At this moment, Zhen Qing seemed to have great difficulty even walking, and could only stagger forward with the help of Ye Hao.

Even so, she would cough up blood after taking only a few steps.

In this state, Chen Fan suspected that if she didn't run another two hundred meters, she would vomit all the blood.

Chen Fan squinted and quickly glanced at Zhen Qing and Ye Hao's left hands.

Both of them had injured their left wrists, and their smartwatches were nowhere to be found!

Judging from the looks of it, the two of them probably didn't even manage to send out a distress signal.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be being chased and killed at this time!

You should know that the army of Donghai City is currently besieging the Fire Ants in the plains ahead, and there must be powerful figures from Donghai City nearby!

The mysterious person who was chasing Zhen Qing and the other person was so arrogant!

My act of sending a message to my master Zhang Hai just now deserves a great reward.

Chen Fan sighed inwardly, shifting his gaze from Zhen Qing and Ye Hao to the eerie black mist chasing after them.

The black mist was moving much faster than Zhen Qing and Ye Hao.

The distance between the two sides is constantly closing!

"A Beastmaster or Star Warrior with this kind of speed couldn't possibly kill a level 16 Beastmaster..."

Chen Fan stared at the black mist, lost in thought: "Unless, the person chasing Zhen Qing and Ye Hao was also seriously injured!"

It's quite normal for the pursuer to be seriously injured.

After all, judging from Zhen Qing's miserable state, it was clear that the two sides had fought many fierce battles.

Chen Fan felt his breathing become a little heavy... Zhen Qing and Ye Hao were less than thirty meters away from the grass below him!

Suddenly, an image flashed into his mind... Bu Jingyun, with his permed hair, was hugging a girl, hysterically screaming, "Don't come any closer!"

Chen Fan was also shouting in his heart.

But Ye Hao and Zhen Qing grew closer and closer.

Sigh, actually he had a pretty good impression of Ye Hao.

but……

"Hahahaha!"

A strange laugh suddenly came from within the black fog.

Suddenly, the black mist dissipated, and a man in black robes, like a ghost, darted through the rocks and caught up to Zhen Qing and his companion not far behind!

Zhen Qing snorted coldly and tossed Ye Hao away as if he were a chick.

Then, she turned around, raised the large gun in her hand, and unleashed a barrage of blows at the man in black!

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss!"

A series of deep blue rays almost completely enveloped the man in black robes!

"call!"

The man in black robes transformed into black mist again. After beams of deep blue light pierced through the black mist, it arrived in front of Zhen Qing with a bang!

Zhen Qing remained expressionless. He raised his right hand, threw away the spear in his hand, drew the long sword from his back, and then slashed wildly at the black mist in front of him!

A blinding light burst forth from her longsword.

The longsword cleaved down, splitting the black mist in two!

This series of movements can be described as flowing smoothly.

But the black-robed man's strength was truly unpredictable and mysterious...

After Zhen Qing's longsword cleaved through the black mist, half of the black mist vanished without a trace, while the other half quickly spun around and transformed into a black-robed figure, circling behind Zhen Qing!

Before Zhen Qing could react, the man in black sneered and slapped Zhen Qing's left shoulder hard!

Zhen Qing let out a miserable groan, staggered forward two steps, and almost fell to the ground!

Just then...

Suddenly, an axe came flying down with a whirlwind, aimed at the back of the black-robed man's head!

But Ye Hao, who had been thrown out by Zhen Qing, launched a sneak attack!

"when!"

Ye Hao swung his axe at the black-robed man's head, unleashing a blinding light.

The man in black robes was unharmed, but Ye Hao screamed and was sent flying backward!

Even the axe in his hand was thrown high into the air and landed below Chen Fan's hiding place!

"..."

Seeing this, Chen Fan's eyes twitched.

Ye Hao, a fifth-level first-rank cultivator, tried his best with an axe, but couldn't break through the opponent's defense!

Even if he wanted to help such a powerful person, he was powerless to do so.

In terms of attack power alone, a level 5 Beast Tamer isn't necessarily much stronger than a first-grade fifth-level Beast Tamer or a Star Warrior.

Chen Fan stared intently at the man in black robes.

Under his gaze, a faint light flickered around the man in black robes.

"Is this the 'Protective Star Power Armor' of a high-level expert?"

Beastmasters or Star Warriors of the second rank or above can activate Star Power to form a layer of defense around their bodies.

However, the defense of second- and third-grade beast tamers and star warriors is not very strong, and it is difficult to deflect enemy attacks.

Only the "Protective Star Power Armor" of Beast Tamers or Star Warriors at the fourth rank or above can deflect enemy attacks!

Fourth-grade realm and above...

Chen Fan's breathing became heavier.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there seems to be only a three-rank difference between the first-rank and fourth-rank realms.

But the difference between the two sides is like heaven and earth!

Ye Hao, who was just one step away from entering the second-grade realm, used all his strength to strike with his axe, but he couldn't even cut off a single hair on his opponent's head. Instead, he was shaken half to death!

Then the man in black robes turned around and looked coldly at Ye Hao.

At this moment, Chen Fan finally saw it clearly...

The black-robed man's robe had a large hole torn in the chest, and inside the hole was a bloody mess!

He was indeed seriously injured!

"You little brat, are you tired of living?"

The man in black robes slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread, his palm facing Ye Hao...

Blood trickled from the corner of Ye Hao's mouth. He tried to run away, but he couldn't even get up!

Just then, a flash of sword light appeared, and Zhen Qing moved in as fast as a night-blading leopard, thrusting his sword swiftly into the black-robed man's back!

"snort!"

The man in black robes snorted coldly, turned around abruptly, and reached out to grab Zhen Qing's sword!

On his palm, a swirling black mist spun like a vortex.

After Zhen Qing's longsword tip got stuck in the black vortex, it couldn't pierce through or be pulled back!

"You bitch, I was just playing along, and you actually took it seriously?"

"If you hadn't feigned death and ambushed me, do you think you could have really hurt me?" The man in black sneered, grabbing the sword tip and gently pulling it towards himself.

Zhen Qing let out a miserable groan as her body was quickly pulled towards him.

The black-robed man's left hand, like a ghostly claw, swiftly reached for Zhen Qing's head!

"burst!"

Zhen Qing's lips curled slightly, and he shouted.

A beam of light shone on her longsword, and the sword shattered into countless pieces!

The fragments of the longsword scattered in all directions like flying knives!

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Both the man in black robes and Zhen Qing himself were struck in the chest by several fragments of longswords!

"You bitch!"

Enraged by Zhen Qing's suicidal fighting style, the man in black staggered back three steps.

But Zhen Qing, who was well-prepared, was not about to miss this excellent opportunity!

Completely disregarding her own injuries, she unleashed a burst of energy with each step and pressed forward once more!

At the same time, she reached to her waist and pulled out two daggers. With a flick of her right hand, one of the daggers shot straight at the black-robed man's face like lightning!

The man in black robes quickly sidestepped, and the dagger flew past his face.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhen Qing rushed to the man in black robes, leaped into the air, and kicked four times in quick succession, his feet moving like windmills!

"court death!"

The man in black robes stretched out his right hand, grabbed Zhen Qing's right ankle, and squeezed it hard!

"Click!"

Zhen Qing's combat boots, made of some unknown material, did not shatter. Instead, they ejected a ring of sharp spikes that instantly pierced the black-robed man's palm!

"You fucking..."

The man in black robes was shocked and furious after being hit by several underhanded tricks. He grabbed Zhen Qing's foot and tried to throw her backward!

As if he had anticipated this, Zhen Qing took the opportunity to step on the black-robed man's left shoulder with his left foot!

The man in black robes groaned and retreated several steps.

Zhen Qing quickly twisted her body in mid-air and threw the remaining dagger in her hand with lightning speed. With a "thud," the dagger pierced through the black-robed man's protective star power armor and stabbed into the wound in his chest!

"what!"

The man in black robes gripped the dagger to his chest and retreated repeatedly!

On the other side, Zhen Qing fell to the ground, rolled twice, and then picked up the first dagger that had been thrown away!

"puff!"

Her face flushed red, and she spat out another mouthful of blood, her body swaying precariously!

At this moment, Ye Hao rushed back without hesitation and helped Zhen Qing up.

The two quickly retreated until they reached the bottom of the cliff where Chen Fan was!
