Lu Chen could even hear the whooshing sound coming from behind him.

That's Qingzhu rapidly approaching him!

Lu Chen exerted all his strength, using the Instant Shadow technique at full power, leaving behind a trail of afterimages along the way.

Qingzhu struck out with a palm, shattering the afterimage, only to see that Lu Chen had already quietly disappeared into the distance.

His face was ashen, his inner energy circulated, and he moved with incredible speed, like a hawk, rapidly approaching Lu Chen. But then he suddenly saw a dark shadow flash past in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes, flicked his sleeve, and with a sharp "snap," blocked the oncoming dark figure.

"Sizzle!"

The sleeve was torn apart by that dark, inky thing.

Qingzhu's pupils contracted slightly.

"What the hell is that?!"

He never expected that something that looked so ordinary would be so powerful, and he quickly dodged to the side.

He saw it.

It was just an ordinary stone!

Stone?

Qingzhu was so angry that his nose almost crooked.

He was almost hit by a stone?

However, before he could continue the chase, several more dark figures flew over one after another.

His face hardened, and he hurriedly dodged, but unexpectedly, one of the pebbles, after passing him, made a very strange circle and came at him from behind again.

He heard a rapid whooshing sound from behind and only had time to circulate his inner energy to defend himself.

"puff!"

With a muffled thud, Qingzhu staggered, his pace slowed, and he struggled to breathe.

"Ahem!"

He coughed and felt a sharp pain in his back; the muscles must have swollen.

He flew into a rage, gritting his teeth: "Fine, fine, damned rat!"

Blocked by this, Lu Chen had disappeared and was now just a tiny black dot.

He smiled with an extremely cold and sinister tone.

"Run? Where can you run to in front of me!"

After saying that, his skin turned completely red, his originally pale face became bright red, and his triangular eyes revealed a mocking expression.

"boom!"

His inner energy suddenly erupted, and he vanished in a flash like a shooting star.

Lu Chen felt the aura behind him growing stronger and stronger, and he gasped.

"Still chasing? You haven't shaken them off, how come they're getting closer and closer?"

He mustered all his strength, his muscles tensed, and the veins on his neck bulged.

He reached into his pocket and found seven or eight iron beads.

"Try my poisoned iron bullet!"

He sprinted forward while frantically throwing things behind him.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The iron pellets were heavier than stones, and when he hurled them with such force, they were several times faster, slicing through the air. Several iron pellets, flying in different directions, all had their ultimate target: the relentlessly pursuing Qingzhu.

He moved like a bat, his wide sleeves billowing, his inner energy surging, sending the iron bead flying, his movements slightly distorted.

The continuous barrage of iron balls also included some throwing knives, which would occasionally change direction, causing Fang Qingzhu endless annoyance and inevitably slowing down his speed.

Lu Chen walked through the crowd next to the Qingjing Mosque, eliciting gasps from many people.

"What flew by in a flash?"

"It looks like a person!"

"Huh, another one?"

"Wow, who is this? They're amazing!"

Qingzhu's face twitched.

He felt like his arm was about to break.

Where did this little beast come from? Its strength should be below the Innate Realm, but I didn't expect its hidden weapon to be so powerful, carrying an irresistible monstrous force!

This power is no less than that of an ordinary innate being!

He almost couldn't hold on!

"We must capture him!" Qingzhu thought fiercely.

Among the information he had, many of the deaths of members of the Black Stick Gang and the Flower Gang involved methods similar to concealed weapons.

The person he is chasing is very likely one of the murderers!

The Green Lord wished he could skin him alive, pull out his tendons, and eat his flesh raw.

After a chase, Lu Chen had already slipped into a dense forest.

We'll be at the city gate soon.

Lu Chen is facing his biggest crisis yet.

Even though he kept throwing flying knives and iron balls, he could only barely affect the other party's steps, but could not widen the distance between them. On the contrary, they were getting closer and closer.

The difference is too big!

The Azure Lord's true energy seemed inexhaustible, circulating through his meridians. With each step, he could travel dozens of feet, and his true energy could even break through the air, greatly reducing resistance.

Lu Chen felt a terrifying aura emanating from behind him, and his scalp tingled.

"I only have 2868 life points left. It's useless to add points to Instant Shadow Eight Directions now. I'm already at the Marrow Cleansing Realm... Are the Innate Realm really this strong? Or is it that the one who's strong is the Azure Lord, and he's not an ordinary Innate Realm cultivator?"

Lu Chen's mind raced, and he didn't forget to throw a porcelain bottle behind him, along with a few pebbles.

"Snapped!"

As soon as I rushed into the dense forest, a porcelain bottle came into view.

Before Qingzhu could throw the porcelain bottle away, a pebble shot from another direction and smashed it.

A shower of powder exploded, covering Qingzhu completely.

The powder here is all poisonous powder that Lu Chen made during this period of learning medical skills.

Qingzhu had anticipated Lu Chen's move, so he quickly held his breath, waved his sleeve, and used his true energy to sweep away the powder.

"You can't escape!"

His tone was cold, and then I sensed something was wrong.

My body is a little itchy!

It's so itchy!

It's still a little soft!

When were you poisoned?

Weren't you already holding your breath?

Could it be through skin contact...?

The Azure Lord's face was ashen, and his heart was burning with rage.

"I will definitely kill you!"

He gritted his teeth, using his inner energy to suppress the agitation in his heart. His blood and qi circulated rapidly, expelling the effects of the medicine.

However, after this delay, Lu Chen ran off again, as cunning as a rabbit.

He was furious; his eyes turned green with rage.

The city gate is not far ahead. If we still can't catch them and they enter the city, it'll be like a drop of water falling into a river—there'll be no way to find them.

We must catch this little bastard before he dies; if all else fails, we'll just kill him!

The killing intent in Qingzhu's eyes surged. Ignoring the damage, he forcibly gathered a breath of true energy, and his speed increased by another three points.

Lu Chen was startled.

His speed has reached its limit.

I never expected that the people behind me could speed up!

Looking at the city gate ahead, Lu Chen gritted his teeth, grabbed all the remaining iron beads and pebbles in his pocket, one handful in each hand, and threw them behind him with a vengeance.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

The pebbles shattered the branches and leaves, shooting towards the Green Master like lightning.

Qingzhu smiled dismissively.

"You've run out of tricks! Prepare to die!"

His right hand suddenly grew larger, turning blood red. He stomped his feet on the ground, unleashing a burst of true energy like a bomb, blasting away the soil on the ground. He then shot towards Lu Chen like an arrow.

"Bang!"

His palm slammed into Lu Chen's back, and the corners of his mouth were already smirking.

Trying to escape from me is simply a pipe dream!

Die!

The true energy in his dantian flowed down his arm and into Lu Chen's body.

Lu Chen's internal organs trembled violently, as if a strange energy had entered his body, like a cold, venomous snake, wreaking havoc along its path.

His face turned pale, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Chen's mind raced with thoughts, but he didn't panic. Instead, he used the momentum to propel himself forward a distance, crossing the moat. The moment he landed on the ground, he endured the excruciating pain and rushed frantically toward the city gate.

Qingzhu's eye twitched, and the curve of his lips froze.

He's not dead?

Not only did he not die, but he was also able to continue his escape?

He felt as if his face was being slapped again and again, turning pale and bluish-white!

He hurriedly lifted his foot and chased after her again.

"Stop! Halt!"

There are several gates on each side of Shanyang Prefecture City. At this moment, Lu Chen entered the side gate that is closest to Qingjing Temple. It is more than 20 meters wide and more than 40 meters thick.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen soldiers guarding the entrance. When they saw Lu Chen, a person of unknown origin, rushing in like this, they became extremely nervous and hurriedly shouted to stop him.

Lu Chen was currently fleeing for his life, so how could he possibly pay attention to them? With a flash, leaving an afterimage, he rushed into the city gate and quickly flashed past from the other side.

The streets were teeming with people. Lu Chen had never been here before, but that didn't stop him from finding the most crowded spots and quickly disappearing into the crowd.

Following the trail, Qingzhu found only a white casual robe that had been taken off, with his own palm print on it.

But the person has disappeared.

His face was extremely gloomy, and he smashed the clothes into pieces with a single palm strike.

"That person was very handsome, but I have absolutely no recollection of him. Who is he?"

He remembered Lu Chen's face; although it was just a fleeting glimpse, his sharp eyesight allowed him to make a clear picture.

I've never seen this before.

"Who is it? Whose people dare to mess with me? They're asking for death!"

His chest heaved a few times, then he forced himself to calm down, walked out of the alley, and left quickly with a blank expression.

In a bustling tavern, Lu Chen, dressed in ill-fitting clothes he'd picked up casually, was engrossed in a bowl of fragrant minced meat noodles. His face had transformed from that of a shrewd, brooding man into an ordinary, unremarkable one, the kind you'd easily blend into in a crowd.

His face was pale, and he was facing away from the street. After eating a couple of bites of noodles, he caught his breath.

"I almost gave myself away!"
