The man in the black robe was right. Shen Changqing’s strength was indeed formidable. If this drags on, I’ll definitely be no match for him. Rather than fight to the death, it’s better to retreat now while I’m still at full strength. That way, my chances of escaping successfully aren’t small.
"Thinking of fleeing?"
Shen Changqing looked surprised. Truth be told, this is the first time I’ve encountered a Demon Evil that tried to escape the moment we faced each other. I originally thought both sides would engage in a fierce battle, and the Demon Evil would only flee when the outcome was about to be decided. But on further thought, the Demon Evil isn’t a fool. Knowing it’s impossible to win unless it has some other motive, fleeing right away is actually quite normal. However, I’ve waited for so long, just to catch this Demon Evil right after its breakthrough. If I let my opponent escape now, it would be a huge loss.
As soon as Gu Cang turned to flee, Shen Changqing immediately gave chase.
All his power burst forth.
With a strike of his palm, the Palm Gang instantly broke through the air, closing in on the Demon Evil from behind.
Sensing the fatal threat, Gu Cang had no choice but to stop and counter with a palm strike of his own.
His body was flung backward. The Scale Armor that came into contact with the Great Sun True Essence was violently shattered, cracking into pieces.
Blood dripped down the wounds. But after only a few breaths, the wounds healed on their own.
Meanwhile, as Gu Cang’s figure came to a stop, Shen Changqing had already caught up once more. When he unleashed the Chiyang Divine Palm, it created numerous palm shadows, each radiating extreme heat.
The palm shadows blotted out the sky. When they combined, they seemed to form a mythical golden crow.
Gu Cang’s green face suddenly changed. I want to dodge, but the palm shadows have sealed off all my escape routes, making me feel as if I’m inside the belly of that golden crow. Retreat! It’s impossible now.
Therefore, Gu Cang could only muster all his strength to defend.
The Yin Evil Aura exploded, surging like a tidal wave. The ultimate Yin Evil Aura radiated from him, spreading in all directions. The ground and even the air grew a layer of frost.
Finally, the two forces collided.
An invisible shockwave shook the entirety of Luoyang City.
The man in the black robe looked back with lingering trepidation at the shocking fluctuations coming from within the city. It was clear that Gu Cang and Shen Changqing were now fully engaged in combat.
He had never thought that Shen Changqing would come to Luoyang City at this time. After all, South Nether Prefecture was huge. By comparison, Luoyang City was just one among many cities. Shen Changqing could have gone anywhere but chose to come to Luoyang City.
Observing the disturbance in the city, the man in the black robe sighed deeply. To refine the Blood Soul Pill, the Eternal Alliance had sacrificed many people from Great Wilderness Prefecture and finally managed to create the elixir. The Eternal Alliance originally planned to use the Blood Soul Pill to win over Gu Cang. By doing so, the strength of the Eternal Alliance would have been greatly enhanced.
But unexpectedly, just after Gu Cang’s breakthrough, someone from the Demon-Subduing Division had come for him.
When it came to Shen Changqing, many people from the Eternal Alliance were familiar with him. Ever since Shen Changqing became famous, he had caused considerable trouble for the Eternal Alliance. Moreover, after news of the battle in the Heavenly Realm spread, the Eternal Alliance paid even more attention to Shen Changqing.
Therefore, the moment the man in the black robe laid eyes on Shen Changqing, he didn’t think twice and immediately fled Luoyang City. For more chapters visıt 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽
From start to finish, he never considered joining forces with Gu Cang to deal with Shen Changqing. The reason was simple: a newly transformed Demon Evil, along with a Martial Artist who had not yet reached the late-stage Grandmaster realm, trying to confront an existence at the Grandmaster Ultimate Summit was simply a joke.
Every man for himself. If Gu Cang is to die, then so be it. The man in the black robe had no intention of dying alongside him.
This matter still needs to be reported back, waiting for the Alliance Hierarch to decide. As for Gu Cang, it seems there’s no chance of survival— After taking one last deep look at Luoyang City, he turned and left.
Gu Cang is a dead man. The man in the black robe did not doubt this in the least. Now, my sole purpose is to leave the vicinity of Luoyang City alive and then report back with the news. As for the rest, it had little to do with him.
His body was sent flying sideways, crashing heavily into the wall of a house on the street. The force of the impact caused the entire building to collapse.
Amidst the dust, a blood-stained figure burst through the blue bricks and rubble, fleeing into the distance.
I must escape! Gu Cang fled desperately, his heart filled with terror, all his initial bravado and confidence gone.
From the start of the fight until now, he had been constantly at a disadvantage. Now, after fighting for less than half an hour, he was already severely wounded.
To continue the fight would mean certain death! Having just transformed into a Demon Evil, Gu Cang did not want to die so soon in Luoyang City.
Although he had been prepared to die in Luoyang City before the man in the black robe arrived, now that there was a glimmer of hope for survival, Gu Cang was unwilling to give up.
The Scale Armor was shattered. His Flesh showed charred marks. Blood flowed from his wounds, drenching most of his body.
Despite this, he paid no heed, allowing his Flesh to self-repair as he desperately fled towards the outskirts of Luoyang City.
Behind him, Shen Changqing moved like the wind, not only keeping pace but also steadily closing the distance.
