However, from the sound, perhaps that one attack had managed to pierce through hundreds of miles of mountains. That was too frightening. If you were struck by that kind of attack, you would instantly turn into a bloody mist. Even your bones wouldn’t remain.
Han Tianfeng fled frantically, but the furious Barbaric Wind Beast closely pursued. The two of them almost instantly entered a mountain valley and disappeared. However, the continuous rumbling of the Barbaric Wind Beast’s attacks continued to ring out.
“Little Feng-zi, you’re not bad!” praised Long Chen inside. Not daring to tarry, he quickly rushed over to the mountain of wind spirit stones.
This mountain of wind spirit stones seemed to have bizarrely grown out of the ground. They could be easily dug out with hands. There were several little indents which had been dug out by Zhao Mingshan and the other Chosen.
Rather than bothering with the countless wind spirit stones, Long Chen quickly climbed up to the peak.
The wind that the Wind Spirit Crystal was constantly releasing blew his robes back and was so powerful that he had to use his full strength to resist it.
It looked like a large wind spirit stone, appearing around seven feet long. It looked almost like a large icicle that had been stabbed into the mountain.
Gripping the Wind Spirit Crystal, Long Chen pulled up with his full physical strength. He realized that the Wind Spirit Crystal felt like it had grown out of the mountain, and no matter how hard he pulled, all that happened was the mountain continuously shook. Countless wind spirit stones began to come off the mountain and were blown out by the terrifying gales.
“Shit!” Long Chen’s expression changed. At least tens of thousands of wind spirit stones had now shot out because of him.
Han Tianfeng and the Barbaric Wind Beast definitely hadn’t run that far yet. This many wind spirit stones flying out would definitely be sensed by them.
As a fifth rank Magical Beast, the Barbaric Wind Beast’s intelligence was close to a human’s, and it would definitely realize what was going on.
“Divine ring! FengFu Battle Armor!”
Long Chen no longer had any misgivings and released his full strength. His divine ring appeared behind him, and a star shone in his eyes.
CRACK!
The huge Wind Spirit Crystal was finally unable to endure and rose out of the mountain.
“Yes!” Long Chen celebrated. He directly stored it into one of his spatial rings. But when his Spiritual Strength attempted to absorb it, instead of entering his spatial ring, his spatial ring exploded.
“What? It can’t be absorbed into a spatial ring?!” Long Chen was startled. It was a good thing that this spatial ring was just one of his battle spoils, and all the good things inside it had long since been put away by Long Chen, so its loss wasn’t anything major.
However, if there was no way to put it into his spatial ring, then he really was screwed. It wasn’t as if he could carry such a huge Wind Spirit Crystal while running.
If he really attempted that, he would be like a beacon of light in the night. The Barbaric Wind Beast would hunt him down, and even if he could escape, he would become a target for countless others.
“Auwu!” Suddenly, Little Snow let out a roar from his spiritual space.
Long Chen was filled with ecstatic relief. He hastily let out Little Snow, and Little Snow quickly placed the Wind Spirit Crystal in his mouth.
“Nice job Little Snow!” Long Chen activated his Spiritual Strength, returning Little Snow into his spiritual space.
As soon as Little Snow returned to the spiritual space, he spat out the Wind Spirit Crystal. However, his mouth had still been badly mutilated.
The energy contained within the Wind Spirit Crystal was too violent. Although Little Snow hadn’t attacked it, in order to draw it into the spiritual space, he had needed to keep it tightly bound in his mouth, which had been extremely dangerous.
Although that had succeeded, Little Snow had been badly injured by the wind that was naturally released by the Wind Spirit Crystal.
Seeing Little Snow not hesitate to be injured for him, Long Chen felt both emotionally moved as well as sad. He owed Little Snow far too much.
Once the Wind Spirit Crystal entered his spiritual space, although it continued to emit its terrifying pressure and wind, this spiritual space was not the same as a spatial ring’s space. Space was not necessarily static in this spiritual space. Although there were dashing winds within his spiritual space now, there were no signs that it would cause the space to collapse.
Long Chen gave Little Snow some healing pills. Although those injuries looked frightening, they weren’t serious. They had only been caused because Little Snow’s mouth naturally didn’t have any defensive ability. He would be healed quickly.
Suddenly, a furious roar shook the heavens. Long Chen jumped. That fellow had definitely sensed something wrong and was crazily rushing back.
That was because once the Wind Spirit Crystal had been placed in the spiritual space, the wind spirit stones had naturally stopped blowing out, and the mountain valleys became deathly calm.
Originally, Long Chen should have immediately rushed off. However, in the end, he wasn’t able to overcome his greed. He raised Devil Decapitator and slashed it down on the mountain.
With his divine ring and FengFu Battle Armor supporting him, his saber cut off a thirty-meter segment from the top of the mountain peak.
He quickly absorbed that portion into a spatial ring. Although he didn’t get a close look, Long Chen estimated that the wind spirit stones in that segment numbered at least in the millions.
After gathering them, Long Chen quickly shot far away.
Just as he was about to disappear into a mountain valley, an enormous figure appeared where that small mountain was. Seeing the Wind Spirit Crystal had disappeared, the Barbaric Wind Beast seemed to go insane and let out a furious roar.
“Shit, I was noticed. As I thought, you can’t be too greedy.”
Long Chen entered the mountain valley. If he had just been faster by a hair, he would have disappeared from the Barbaric Wind Beast’s line of sight.
But unfortunately, he was still a bit too slow and was noticed. The Barbaric Wind Beast once more let out a heaven-shaking roar and charged at Long Chen.
Long Chen immediately felt numb. He used the Netherworld Ghost Steps to rush forward like a phantom, fleeing as fast as lightning.
BOOM!
An attack narrowly shot past Long Chen, piercing straight through the mountain by his side. That terrifying power made Long Chen’s heart pound.
That Barbaric Wind Beast was too fast. Even while using the Netherworld Ghost Steps at its max speed, Long Chen was unable to throw it off.
The thing that vexed Long Chen the most was that these mountain valleys almost formed a maze, and yet there were many parts he went through that were perfectly straight, giving an advantage to the Barbaric Wind Beast. There were several times when Long Chen was almost struck by its attacks.
“Damnit, the surroundings have been completely changed by this fellow. I can’t find my original markers!”
Long Chen realized that many of the mountain valleys had been wrecked by the Barbaric Wind Beast’s attacks, and he could no longer sense the closest Spirit Guide Pills he had buried.
He could only run as fast as he could. At the same time, he spread out his divine sense in an attempt to find any of his untouched markers.
“Oh, that little fellow hasn’t run away?” Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength hadn’t found any of his Spirit Guide Pills, but he had found Han Tianfeng. He was currently hiding in an unremarkable corner of a mountain valley.
After thinking for just a moment, Long Chen understood that Han Tianfeng was extremely crafty. He had most definitely sensed something and was preparing to go steal the Wind Spirit Crystal.
Although Long Chen was aware the Wind Spirit Crystal had already been taken, there were still countless wind spirit stones there. Long Chen’
s last attack had only cut off less than a tenth of the total mountain.
This Han Tianfeng was definitely not a good person. Previously, Long Chen had already heard him set his intentions on Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu, which infuriated Long Chen. Do you think that my, Long Chen’s, women can be lusted after by you?
If he drew away the Barbaric Wind Beast, allowing Han Tianfeng to collect that huge amount of wind spirit stones, Long Chen would definitely end up coughing up blood. There was no way Long Chen would let Han Tianfeng take advantage of him like that.
At this time, Han Tianfeng had an astonished expression and was hiding in a corner. He felt that the situation was a bit unusual.
He suspected that it was very likely that someone else had also entered the Misty Mountain Valleys. Thinking of the previous signs he had run into, he thought of an extremely infuriating possibility: that he had been used by someone else.
He wanted to go back and see what was going on, but he could sense that the Barbaric Wind Beast was still in the vicinity. He had also heard its berserk roar, so he didn’t dare show himself.
However, he could still be considered an audacious person. He was preparing to hide himself until he found a good opportunity to fish up some benefits.
Even if he couldn’t obtain anything, he still had to find out who it was that had schemed against him. Otherwise, he felt as if he might die from anger.
Unfortunately, he had no idea that his extremely hidden position had already been noticed by Long Chen and that Long Chen was already planning on working together with him to get away from the Barbaric Wind Beast.
As Long Chen fled, he was constantly changing angles and was calculating the Barbaric Wind Beast’s attack frequency. Suddenly, a terrifying attack shot out from behind him.
“Hehe, finally.”
Long Chen suddenly dodged to the side. That attack shot past him, going straight for a certain corner of a mountain. That mountain was right behind where Han Tianfeng was currently hiding.
Chapter 349 Han Tianfeng Vomits Blood
Han Tianfeng had hidden himself very securely. From the intense tremors, he could tell the Barbaric Wind Beast was currently chasing someone and heading in his direction.
A cruel sneer appeared on his face. He wanted to see just who dared use him as a tool.
At this moment, he heard a noise coming from the other side of the mountain valley. He hesitated about whether or not he should sneak over to look.
BOOM!
Suddenly, the mountain valley behind him exploded. It happened so quickly and out of nowhere that he didn’t even have time to raise any defenses. A large portion of the mountain slammed into him from above, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood.
“A pity it was slightly slanted.” Long Chen’s divine sense had seen it extremely clearly. If the Barbaric Wind Beast’s attack had been just a few meters lower, Han Tianfeng would have been instantly killed.
With the mountain valley in front of him pierced through, Long Chen shot through the opening without hesitation.
When he ran above where Han Tianfeng was buried, he even viciously slammed his foot down before continuing forward.
Han Tianfeng, who was buried by rubble, felt a huge force transmit through the ground and shake his organs, causing him to vomit another mouthful of blood.
Although the previous attack from the Barbaric Wind Beast hadn’t struck him directly, it had already shaken his internal organs. Now adding on Long Chen’s intentional blow with his foot, his injuries were exacerbated.
However, as a top expert, despite being buried under the rubble, his divine sense still locked onto Long Chen.
Although he was unable to clearly see Long Chen’s figure, he could tell it was a person, which proved that his guess had been right and that someone had been using him.
“This fucker!” Han Tianfeng shook with fury. How could he, a grand Chosen, have ever endured such frustration? How could he not tell that Long Chen’s kick to the ground was intentional?
In his fury, he recklessly charged out of the rubble and stuck out his head, just happening to see Long Chen’s figure disappear.
“Monastery robes!” Han Tianfeng ground his teeth. He had recognized the robes, but the mark of the monastery number was on the front, and he couldn’t see it.
So he had actually been used by a monastery disciple?! He was about to go berserk. There was actually someone in the monastery who would treat him like this?!
Just as he was about to explode from anger, a huge claw descended, and he instinctively pulled his head back into the ground.
BOOM!
The ground quivered and Han Tianfeng felt as if a mountain had fallen on him, causing him to vomit another mouthful of blood.
When he dizzily stuck his head out of the ground again, he felt as if all his bones had been broken. He vaguely managed to see the Barbaric Wind Beast’s huge figure wildly rushing out of his range of vision.
“AHH!!! Intolerable!” Han Tianfeng clenched his teeth furiously. Previously, he had been stepped on by Long Chen, and now he had even been viciously stepped on by the Barbaric Wind Beast.
If he didn’t know that this Barbaric Wind Beast had already reached full maturity, and there was no way to tame it, he would have thought those two had purposely worked together to humiliate him.
“Bastard! I won’t let you off like this! I’ll definitely find out who you are, and when I do, I’ll tear you apart!” Han Tianfeng viciously swore.
Han Tianfeng began to follow in the direction where Long Chen had left. He chased for over a hundred miles when he heard a distant rumbling that was quickly approaching him.
“They’re returning? Hmph, are you going to let me see who you are this time?” Han Tianfeng looked around and saw a good place to hide himself behind a boulder. He hid and waited.
But he was disappointed to see that whoever it was that was fleeing from the Barbaric Wind Beast wouldn’t pass through here. Their path was two mountains over, and he didn’t dare go over to look.
If he appeared, then that might very well draw the Barbaric Wind Beast’s fury. Just as he was hesitating about whether or not to switch locations, the ground trembled, and he was delighted to see that this time, that fleeing person was getting closer.
He was definitely getting closer. Much, much closer.
BOOM!
The mountain beside Han Tianfeng once more exploded. Before he had even realized what was going on, he was buried. Only this time his injury was even more severe, and he vomited three mouthfuls of blood.
Bang!
After vomiting those three mouthfuls of blood, he felt the ground above him sink again, and a violent energy pressed down on him.
Han Tianfeng once more vomited a mouthful of blood. But before he could even get angry, an even greater pressure descended from above, and he felt as if his body might explode.
Hastily circulating his spiritual qi, he stubbornly withstood the pressure, feeling as if he might instead explode with rage. This time was the exact same as last time, except now his injuries were even worse.
Crawling out of the ground, he noticed that the two of them had already disappeared before he could get a glimpse of them.
“You goddamn bastards, just wait for me!”
Angry veins bulged across his forehead. However, he still maintained his reasoning and didn’t go chase after them.
“Is that bastard doing this intentionally?” Doing his best to suppress his rage, he calmed himself down to consider what had happened. This was definitely too coincidental. “This bastard very likely possesses some unknown way to track down my location. Tch, I can’t continue like this. I should first go back to those wind spirit stones.”
Han Tianfeng absolutely refused to believe that Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength was powerful enough to cover such a huge distance.
He also refused to believe a disciple’s Spiritual Strength could reach the level that even he was unable to sense it.
So, he a
ssumed that Long Chen must possess some sort of treasure on him that was allowing him to keep track of the surroundings, which was also why he would dare enter the Misty Mountain Valleys.
Once he had thought of all that, he calmed down greatly. He no longer bothered trying to figure out who that person was. As long as they didn’t die, he would find out their identity sooner or later. The Wind Spirit Crystal was more important. Consuming a healing pill, he began rushing back to that place.
Long Chen had brought the Barbaric Wind Beast to attack Han Tianfeng twice, but its attacks had missed him, causing Long Chen to sigh regretfully.
At the same time, he cursed the Barbaric Wind Beast for not being accurate enough. However, that was not something he could control. He could only continue running.
In truth, the Barbaric Wind Beast’s top speed was definitely greater than his. However, these mountain valleys criss-crossed like a maze, and there was no way for it to release its full speed. All it could do was furiously roar and continue chasing.
“Oh? As the saying goes, if you worry about something, it’ll happen. That little fellow is actually going back. Tch, I’m working so hard, yet this fellow’s being lazy. My treasures aren’t so easily taken by others. You’ll have to come and do some work with me.”
Long Chen started rushing back to that mountain of wind spirit stones. This time, Long Chen was essentially going in a straight line because the Barbaric Wind Beast’s attacks had already destroyed the original mountains.
Long Chen was rushing back at his top speed, but the Barbaric Wind Beast was even faster. The two of them were like two bolts of lightning returning to their original location.
Back in that spot, Han Tianfeng was glaring at the mountain of wind spirit stones. Seeing that the top portion of it was gone, he was both shocked and infuriated.
Although he had been prepared for this sight, seeing that top treasure disappear, he was still unable to suppress his fury.
“You better wait for me! I’ll definitely make you spit out my treasures!” Han Tianfeng furiously ground his teeth.
However, while he temporarily couldn’t obtain that Wind Spirit Crystal, this mountain of wind spirit stones was still a huge treasure. If he gathered them all, he would instantly become the richest disciple of all the monasteries.
