Chapter 142 - Sect Master (II)
Chapter 142: Sect Master (II)
At this moment, a huge explosion appeared at the top of the mountain, and a powerful shockwave swept down the mountain. The parents’ expressions changed drastically, and they fled towards the town in fear.
The sounds of collision went on for nearly a minute before revealing a huge pit created from the destruction.
The hole was not deep, only 20 to 30 meters in depth. Clearly, even though the huge sword won in the end, most of its power had been used up.
“My strongest finishing move can rival an ordinary attack from my opponent.” Chen Yiming came to a conclusion.
With his strength at the second stage of the warrior realm, his attack power had reached the lowest level of the third stage of the warrior realm.
This meant that those at the third stage of the warrior realm would not be able to severely injure him easily. Ordinary attacks were not enough to overcome the recovery ability of his Level-1 Undying Body talent.
“What a strong internal force!” Li Daoyi sneered. “I thought that I had originally thought highly enough of you, but from the looks of it, I’ve far underestimated you.”
“Elder, you flatter me. I was just born with a better physique.” Chen Yiming took a deep breath and felt his body regain its strength.
He could freely use the power of an ordinary warrior without worrying about the speed at which he could recover his energy.
However, after using his strongest finishing move at the second stage of the warrior realm, the recovery speed brought about by his Level-1 Undying Body talent was no longer enough to support his extravagant energy expenditure. He needed nearly a minute to recover.
“This is just a casual attack from me, and you can still use the same finishing move a few more times,” Li Daoyi said with a smile. He was in no hurry to attack.
“Elder, you can try a few more moves. I’ll play along anytime,” Chen Yiming said calmly.
His expression did not change, but he was already looking for an opportunity to escape. After all, he had already tested his abilities as he wished, and there was no need to fight Li Daoyi to the death.
“Are you from the blue planet?” Li Daoyi suddenly asked.
“Elder, why do you say that?” Chen Yiming asked.
“What a pity.” Li Daoyi sighed and continued, “Even if you are a rare genius among humans, I can’t let you leave alive today.”
In his heart, he guessed that the masked man had the potential to become a martial arts master. However, since he had already formed a huge grudge with the Blue Cloud Sword Sect, he could not be blamed for killing him.
After all, he was the head of a sect. It was impossible for him to have the heart of a saint and let a genius the sect had formed a grudge with grow further.
“Are you that confident? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be embarrassing yourself?” Chen Yiming laughed.
“Young man, let me teach you a lesson. The warrior realm is not the disciple realm. No one can fight an opponent from a different level.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daoyi slashed out with his sword.
The sword light transformed into three thunderbirds. One attacked from the front while the other two flanked him from the side.
All of a sudden, the masked man was targeted by three thunderbirds at the same time. No matter which direction he dodged in, it did not seem like a good choice. It seemed as if he had fallen into a desperate situation.
Of course, Chen Yiming wouldn’t just stand there and get attacked.
The moment Li Daoyi made his move, he had also launched an attack with a huge sword formed from four huge rocks.
At the same time, the figure in his mind turned into the black fog concept diagram, and black fog internal force appeared in his body.
Then, under the concealment effect of the black fog internal force, he took advantage of the fact that the huge sword was temporarily holding off the three thunderbirds and shot towards the bottom of the mountain, escaping without looking back.
This was his trump card for escaping. Even if the other party caught up to him, it would be difficult for him to accurately determine his position in the dark night. Chen Yiming didn’t believe that the other party had the ability to launch a destructive attack like him.
“Crack…”
The huge sword only lasted for about 10 seconds before it was torn apart by the three thunderbirds.
After the dust settled, the masked man had already disappeared.
“What’s going on!”
Li Daoyi’s expression turned ugly. He could vaguely tell from the sound of the footsteps that the masked man had already escaped down the mountain, but he could not see him at all.
Seeing this, the three peak masters jumped to Li Daoyi’s side and reported, “Sect Master, the other party has a special concealment ability.”
The elder who discovered that the masked man had sneaked into the library had reported his concealment ability to the three peak masters. However, the three peak masters had not reported this information to the sect master. After all, they did not expect that they would be defeated.
By the time Li Daoyi appeared to save the three peak masters, Chen Yiming had already dispersed his black fog internal force. As a result, only Li Daoyi didn’t know that the masked man had a special concealment ability.
Li Daoyi’s expression darkened when he heard this.
“I’ll go after him now. The three of you, bring all the elders and chase after him immediately. As long as you find him and stall him for a moment, I’ll rush over and kill the masked man.”
After saying this, his figure flashed as he ran down the mountain.
…
In Blue Cloud Town, the parents who had escaped earlier saw that the battle had ended, and many of them started to return.
In their hearts, a top sect like the Blue Cloud Sword Sect could not have met a problem that they could not solve.
While Li Daoyi was arranging the pursuit, Chen Yiming had already reached the foot of the mountain.
“I can only treat you all as my tools this time.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the four huge rocks forming a huge sword that was 100 meters long appeared in midair and crashed into an empty area in front of the Blue Cloud Town.
The strongest among the parents of the newcomers were only at the ordinary warrior realm. Most of them were martial arts practitioners at the disciple realm.
Seeing the 100-meter-long sword appear in the sky, they panicked on the spot. Many people fell to the ground.
When the huge sword landed with a loud bang, no one dared to stay put. The crowd made the decision to escape in almost a second.
“Hehe!” Chen Yiming couldn’t help but laugh.
With so many people covering for him, he did not believe that Li Daoyi still had the ability to find him. Even if he immediately mobilized technological weapons from Luoxi City, it would be too late.
Because this place was only 30 to 40 kilometers away from Luoxi City, Chen Yiming would have already returned to the city with his speed as a warrior.
There were tens of millions of people in Luoxi City. In the sea of people, Li Daoyi could not do anything about it.
Chen Yiming hid in the darkness and ran towards Luoxi City.
A few minutes later, “Young man, I’ve found you.”
A thunderous voice echoed through the forest and spread far away.
Li Daoyi was running across the tree tops when he heard a commotion hundreds of meters away.
He jumped down from the top of the tree and sped up, covering a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant.
“I’m not the person you’re looking for,” a middle-aged man raised his hand and shouted, afraid that he would be mistaken for the person that he was after.
“Damn it!” Li Daoyi cursed angrily.
He had already encountered several of these people who had unintentionally helped the masked man cover his tracks.
He casually struck out with his palm without even using his internal force.
“Bang!”
The middle-aged man was sent flying, his body exploding in midair.
From the beginning to the end, he did not know why he had been killed. He died in the forest for no reason.
Li Daoyi did not even look at him. His figure moved and he continued his pursuit.
A few kilometers away from where the middle-aged man died, Chen Yiming analyzed the situation in his heart after hearing Li Daoyi’s voice several times.
“How ruthless. He is going to kill all the innocent people who are escaping towards Luoxi City.”
With this thought, he did not dare to linger any longer and continued running towards Luoxi City.
10 minutes later, in a forest a few kilometers away from Luoxi City, Huang Lieyan caught up with Li Daoyi and reported, “Sect Master, our people in Luoxi City have replied. We can send out a helicopter now and use the thermal imaging scanner to help search for him.”
“It’s too late.” Li Daoyi shook his head.
“Our people also replied that they can seal off all the city gates, including the city walls,” Huang Lieyan continued after a pause.
“Forget it. What if ordinary people find the masked man? Can they stop him? By the time we arrive, the masked man will already have entered the city,” Li Daoyi sighed and said helplessly.
“Then are we just going to let the masked man off?” Huang Lieyan whispered.
“Of course not. Otherwise, in a few years, I might be the one being chased to my death,” Li Daoyi replied.
After some thought, he made the arrangements. “The deaths of these innocent people who were killed in the pursuit are all on the masked man. We will also announce to the outside world that the masked man has stolen the Blue Cloud Sword Sect’s signature sword technique. From now on, we will issue a bounty to hunt down the masked man.”
“Understood.” Huang Lieyan nodded.
