However, because of You Qianxue's intervention, Qin Chen seemed to have gained a moment of respite. Glorious radiance appeared all over his body, and he emanated an unparalleled aura that transcended the mundane, resembling a piece of jade.
Bang!
A sword of golden light stood before Qin Chen, emitting endless brilliance, forcing him to retreat continuously. Pfft, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, seemingly gravely injured.
“Chen Shao!”
You Qianxue was alarmed, her expression filled with rage as she charged at him again.
“Don’t think that just because you are from the Law Enforcement Hall, I won’t dare to touch you. If you continue to make trouble, I will kill you along with him!” Gu Cang Martial Emperor was furious at You Qianxue's audacity and sent her flying once more.
However, You Qianxue was indeed a member of the Law Enforcement Hall. No matter how arrogant Gu Cang Martial Emperor was or how powerful the Xuanyuan Empire behind him was, he dared not kill a member of the Law Enforcement Hall in front of everyone.
“Qianxue, don’t panic. I’m fine. There are too many people here. I will contact you later.” Just as You Qianxue was anxiously worried, she heard Qin Chen’s voice in her ear.
You Qianxue was taken aback.
Then she saw Qin Chen suddenly shift his figure, turning into a flash of light as he darted into the depths of the forest.
It was as if he had performed some secret technique, his form reaching its peak, vanishing in an instant within the woods.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Gu Cang Martial Emperor coldly shouted and chased after him, disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye.
The once tumultuous valley fell silent, leaving behind a group of people staring at each other.
“Everyone, I will take my leave first.”
“We will take our leave as well.”
Swish, swish, swish, swish…
Many people took advantage of Gu Cang Martial Emperor’s departure to leave the valley without a second thought.
Such a good opportunity; if they didn’t hurry to leave, once Gu Cang Martial Emperor returned, they would still have to obediently hand over the Seven-Colored Spirit Fruits.
“Sigh.”
Lv Yuanhao and Ning Zetao exchanged glances with You Qianxue, then bowed to her, saying, “Miss, you should quickly inform the experts of the Alchemy Pavilion or the experts from your Law Enforcement Hall. Otherwise, Qin Shaoxia…”
At this point, both of them sighed together.
Although Qin Chen and Gu Cang Martial Emperor had fought hard, the previous skirmish clearly indicated to everyone that while Qin Chen was strong, he was still no match for Gu Cang Martial Emperor. Once Gu Cang Martial Emperor caught up to Qin Chen, it would surely spell disaster for him.
Yet, with Gu Cang Martial Emperor’s strength, could he really not catch up to a peak Martial Emperor in the initial stage?
It seemed impossible.
Thus, they could only offer You Qianxue such advice.
“Thank you both,” You Qianxue nodded and hurriedly pursued the direction in which Qin Chen had left.
“Sigh, it would be a pity if such a talented person like Qin Shaoxia fell here.”
Lv Yuanhao and Ning Zetao shook their heads, both of them deeply respected Qin Chen. If he hadn’t opened the valley in time, who knew if they would even get to share the Seven-Colored Spirit Fruits once Gu Cang Martial Emperor arrived, given his nature.
“Hmph, what’s there to pity? That Qin Chen isn’t anything special; he’s just a mere martial artist from the lower four domains. Even if he has some skills, he has to leave with forty percent of the fruits. Now, isn’t it just retribution?”
“Wasn’t Qin Chen quite pleased when he killed the Long family warriors? The weak are prey to the strong; it’s only right that he gets what he deserves.”
However, some people scoffed, looking down on him, with a hint of glee in their eyes.
Qin Chen, a disciple from the lower four domains, audaciously took forty percent of the Seven-Colored Spirit Fruits, nearly eighty of them. Who wouldn’t envy him? Now seeing him in trouble, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of delight.
