Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 87 - 4: Senior Sister Ling’Er Is Moved by Herself, The Old Schemer
"Ha, coming at me!"
Zhou Chen raised the Sunset Bow, aiming at Nian Shisan.
"Senior Brother Zhou, he’s a powerhouse above the Third Transition, run quickly!"
The young girl Fang Wen was in a panic, unexpected that Zhou Chen wasn’t afraid and still wanted to engage with the opponent.
Although Zhou Chen’s Yi Arrow Skill was formidable and he had also comprehended the intention of the arrow, he could be called a genius.
But the opponent is a powerhouse above the Third Transition.
Zhou Chen is simply no match for him.
"Ignorant of the heights of heaven!"
Nian Shisan was initially worried that Zhou Chen would flee, which would cost him more time, but unexpectedly, Zhou Chen wanted to shoot him.
He had mastered a superior Lightweight Skill, Crossing the River on a Blade of Grass, and even though Zhou Chen had comprehended the intention of the arrow, he could never hit him.
And he could chop Zhou Chen’s head off with just one strike.
"It’s over!"
Fang Wen looked desperate, not expecting to encounter such a self-assuming fool.
Boom!
The bowstring snapped like a thunderbolt, the arrow streaked across the sky like a meteor, brilliant and swift, appearing and disappearing in a flash.
Nian Shisan’s speed was lightning-fast, and in an instant, he was in front of Zhou Chen.
He raised a long knife high in his hand but did not bring it down.
He lowered his head in disbelief, surprised at the large hole in his chest, through which Zhou Chen could even see the despairing Fang Wen behind him.
"How is this possible?"
Nian Shisan could not accept it; Zhou Chen’s information was well-known, and no matter how he concealed his prowess, how much could he hide?
How could he be this strong?
He had been pierced through by the arrow without having time to react.
The speed of that arrow was too fast.
It was like the roar of the Thunder God, a strike of lightning.
Bang!
Nian Shisan’s hulking body fell heavily, Zhou Chen retrieved his long knife and storage bag, and casually incinerated him with the Red Divine Flame, destroying the corpse and erasing the evidence.
This was already a habit for Zhou Chen when killing.
Disposing of the body could save a lot of trouble.
The Red Divine Flame was the flame condensed from Zhou Chen’s Red Emperor Fire Divine Skill.
"How is this possible?"
From afar, the despairing Fang Wen witnessed all of this, her beautiful eyes widening, almost thinking she was hallucinating.
Zhou Chen actually shot and killed a Qiankun Guard of at least the Third Transition in one arrow?
Was Yi Arrow Skill really that formidable?
At least her life was saved for now.
Fang Wen quickly used her Lightweight Skill to come before Zhou Chen, saying curiously, "Senior Brother Zhou, I didn’t expect you to be this powerful!"
"I got lucky, found a precious herb in here, and advanced to the Body Refining Ninth Layer!"
Zhou Chen smiled, this cultivation level was something he had planned to reveal long ago.
Once outside, he could practice the secret martial arts of other peaks.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Zhou!"
Fang Wen was full of envy but not too surprised, as there were many such examples, and Zhou Chen was not the first.
The Celestial Cloud Secret Realm was dangerous, so why do they still scramble to enter it?
Isn’t it because there are opportunities here?
Good luck, like Zhou Chen, can save years of hard work.
"By the way, Senior Brother Zhou, Senior Sister Ling’Er was originally with me and is also being hunted by Qiankun Guard. Can you help me rescue Senior Sister Ling’Er?"
Fang Wen’s clear and bright eyes were full of pleading; she wouldn’t have asked if Zhou Chen was only at the Body Refining Seventh Layer.
Because that would be no different than sending Zhou Chen to his death.
But Zhou Chen at the Body Refining Ninth Layer, having killed Nian Shisan with one arrow, was quite strong.
Even if he couldn’t defeat the enemies chasing Mu Ling’Er, he could use his Yi Arrow Skill to interfere, giving Mu Ling’Er a chance to escape.
"No problem, we are all fellow disciples, after all."
Zhou Chen did not refuse and directly said:
"Where is Senior Sister Ling’Er?"
"Over there!"
Fang Wen pointed in the direction, only to find that Zhou Chen had already disappeared.
She looked up and saw Zhou Chen’s figure in the distance.
"Electric Light Divine Step? Senior Brother Zhou has cultivated to this level?"
Fang Wen was shocked, her ample bosom rising and falling: "Senior Brother Zhou’s comprehension is truly amazing, his talent is extraordinary!"
Out of Fang Wen’s sight, Zhou Chen’s speed increased, his Divine Sense of the Foundation Establishment Realm spread out, and he found Mu Ling’Er’s traces of escape in less than ten breaths.
He quickly tracked along the trail.
"Puff!"
Mu Ling’Er spat a mouthful of fresh blood, her graceful figure being flung through the air, crashing heavily against a large tree that took two to embrace, spitting blood again, sliding down like a ragdoll onto the ground.
Song Kui, holding a heavy long knife, walked over with large strides, his body extremely tall, nearly two and a half meters, like a small giant.
His entire body rippled with knotty muscles, filled with explosive power, like a berserk bear.
This person primarily cultivated strength-centered martial arts.
Generally speaking, the main martial arts practiced have the greatest impact on the body. Subsequent training in other martial arts may slightly alter the body, but changes are not significant.
Unless the martial arts are extraordinary.
"Song Kui, if you dare to kill me, the Cyan Cloud Sect won’t let you off!"
Mu Ling’Er clutched her chest, panting heavily, glaring viciously at the approaching Song Kui: "Do you really think no one will know?"
"Who knows?"
Song Kui sneered disdainfully: "This secret realm is so vast and full of dangers, isn’t it normal for a few people to die?"
"Besides, I have the Court as my backing. Even if the Cyan Cloud Sect knows, what can they do? Would they dare to try touching me?"
"But don’t worry, I won’t kill you now!"
"What do you want to do?"
Mu Ling’Er sat on the ground, continuously retreating, her eyes full of panic.
She vaguely guessed what Song Kui wanted to do.
"What do you think I want to do?"
Song Kui gave a lewd smile:
"With a beauty like you, killing you right away would be a waste, wouldn’t it?"
"If cabbage like you were trampled by a wild boar like him, it would truly be wasted!"
Just as Mu Ling’Er was contemplating whether to take her own life, a calm and teasing voice came from behind.
"Who?"
Song Kui’s eyes were sharp as knives. He suddenly turned around, and upon seeing Zhou Chen, his tense body relaxed. He burst into laughter:
"Oh, it’s just you, this greenhorn who just entered the sect!"
"Do you think you can play hero and save the beauty?"
"By the way, I heard you’re quite the lecher, seems like you’d choose beauty over life, huh!"
Mu Ling’Er was shocked. Her initial surprise turned to despair, and she anxiously said: "Junior Brother Zhou, don’t worry about me, just go!"
"Go?"
Song Kui sneered, shaking his broad, long knife, his voice cold as steel:
"Neither of you should think about leaving!"
"Really?"
Zhou Chen turned and ran.
Song Kui was stronger than Year Thirteen, at least in the Fifth Transition Realm. Without showing some of his strength, Zhou Chen couldn’t kill him.
But he didn’t want to reveal too much, so he had to first lead Song Kui away.
"You think you can run?"
Song Kui chased after him.
Anyway, Mu Ling’Er was severely injured and couldn’t run for a while, and killing Zhou Chen was as easy as slaughtering a chicken.
One knife would be enough!
"Junior Brother Zhou, why are you so foolish? I’m not worth you doing this..." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Mu Ling’Er’s beautiful eyes filled with tears. Given Zhou Chen’s level of mastery, trying to lead Song Kui away was practically a death sentence.
Zhou Chen was using his own life to give her a slim chance to survive.
"Junior Brother Zhou, don’t worry, I’ll definitely survive and avenge you!"
As the head senior sister of Spirit Medicine Peak, although Mu Ling’Er looked gentle and weak, she was also decisive.
She did not act like the female protagonists in TV dramas who refuse to leave, loitering around and missing the best chance to flee, dragging down the male lead.
She took out a handful of elixirs, swallowed them in one go, struggled to her feet, and ran forward desperately, ignoring her body’s pain.
Run, run, run!
She used to look down on Zhou Chen, thinking he was a lecherous playboy who spent his days in idle pursuits, only knowing how to flirt with women.
She never expected Zhou Chen would risk his life to save her.
"I must escape!"
Knowing her severely injured body couldn’t outrun Song Kui, she had to find a hiding place to avoid his pursuit and stand a chance to escape.
Meanwhile.
Song Kui caught up with Zhou Chen.
"Run! Why aren’t you running anymore!"
Song Kui looked at Zhou Chen with a mocking expression, eyes cruel. Trying to be a hero in front of him, today he’d teach Zhou Chen a lesson.
What happens when you try to be a hero!
"I’ll run your mother!"
Zhou Chen circulated his Magical Power, raising a hand and pointed.
The Fire Dragon Sword, a top-grade spiritual artifact, shot out from his dantian. Under the activation of Foundation Establishment Realm’s magical power, it streaked like a startling arc of lightning, like a red dragon shaking the sky, smashing through everything in its path.
Boom!
Just as Song Kui raised his long knife to block, the Fire Dragon Sword, transformed into a fire dragon, pierced through his chest.
"A Foundation Establishment powerhouse!"
"A top-grade spiritual artifact!"
Song Kui’s body shuddered, his eyes widened, he looked at Zhou Chen, then looked down at the large, charred, bloody hole in his chest, and gave a wry smile.
Always hunting geese, only to have a goose peck his eyes.
He never thought he would end up like this.
"I hate it! You cunning bastard..."
Song Kui sighed toward the heavens, spat blood, collapsed to the ground, and died with grievances.
