Chapter 2306: Close Contact
With that, Qing Shan turned into an azure blur that shot off in the sky. He approached the Radiant Godkings gathering over with lightning speed.
He did not seem to be afraid of alarming the Radiant Godkings at all. As he flew through the air, he radiated with a powerful presence that flooded the surroundings.
The protectors of the three candidates shot towards the battle from three different directions.
The shockwaves from the battle earlier were just too powerful, having completely exceeded the level of Godking. As a result, the Radiant Godkings scattered across the World of Moon and Star all thought the sacred hall had sent an expert to deal with Qing Shan.
After all, they had heard from the elder when they arrived here that the vicious beasts had been screened first, leaving behind vicious beasts that were Godkings at most. It was impossible for an existence beyond Godking to appear.
Hence, they immediately connected it to reinforcements from the sacred hall as soon as they sensed the Primordial realm battle shockwaves.
“I wonder which elder has entered the World of Moon and Star. However, no matter who he is, Qing Shan is done for…”
“Since the sacred hall already knows Qing Shan is here, the elder they’ve sent can definitely kill him…”
“An elder has already come here. Qing Shan is done for anyway, so I have to put on a good act before the elder. If I can be of some use, it’ll be a service of great merit…”
…
The light in the eyes of the Radiant Godkings rushing over flickered. They all had different thoughts.
But very soon, one of the groups suddenly halted. They stared straight ahead in surprise and doubt.
They could already sense a terrifying presence that was enough to give them chills approaching them at an extraordinary speed.
However, they were not unfamiliar with the owner of the presence, which made them feel shocked and fearful; the presence belonged to Qing Shan.
“Oh no, Qing Shan is coming for us…”
“Where is the elder who fought against Qing Shan? Why can’t I sense his presence…”
“The elder’s presence has vanished. Oh no, run. Run quick…”
The Radiant Godkings paled as fear filled their faces. They fled in the other direction as quickly as they could.
Behind them, Qing Shan pursued with cold eyes as his lips curled into a scornful smile. He moved extremely quickly, enough to cross a thousand kilometres in a single instance. He had completely surpassed the Radiant Godkings who had unleashed their full speed. Very soon, he caught up with a Radiant Godking and struck out firmly. He was vicious and merciless, killing the Radiant Godking in a single strike.
He did not stop for a single moment, continuing to hunt down the remaining Godkings.
At the same time, the peaceful space several million kilometres away on a mountain suddenly rippled. Jian Chen silently appeared there with the unconscious Donglin Yanxue in his arms.
After several short-distance teleportations, Jian Chen had traveled far away from where he fought Qing Shan. He stared into the distance as he carried Donglin Yanxue; it was like he could see where Qing Shan was. The light in his eyes flickered, and after hesitating slightly, he no longer remained where he was. He continued to fly towards the distance.
“Mmm…” At this moment, a rather pained groan rang out from between Jian Chen’s arms. Donglin Yanxue had woken up slowly. She opened her eyes weakly, and when she saw Jian Chen’s face, she immediately became confused.
Jian Chen slowed down right away, maintaining the speed that belonged to a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore. He crossed the mountains as he ran along the ground with Donglin Yanxue in his arms. He asked, “You’ve woken up?”
Donglin Yanxue’s mind cleared up very soon. She immediately sensed that she was in Jian Chen’s arms, which made her blush in embarrassment.
But in the next moment, she suddenly thought of something and studied the surroundings with shining eyes. She asked nervously, “Where’s Qing Shan? Didn’t he kill us? How did we escape?”
Jian Chen chuckled and replied, “We were lucky. Just when Qing Shan wanted to kill us, a vicious beast suddenly appeared. The vicious beast seemed to have grievances with Qing Shan, so it engaged in a great battle with him. As for me, I carried you and fled during the mess and fortunately escaped the disaster.”
Donglin Yanxue firmly believed Jian Chen’s words. Feeling fortunate, she said, “The vicious beast should have been a peak Godking, or it would not have been Qing Shan’s opponent. That really was close. If it weren’t for the vicious beast, we definitely would not have been able to survive until now.”
When she reached there, Donglin Yanxue suddenly realised that Jian Chen was still carrying her. She immediately blushed and she said softly, “Chang Yang, let me down.”
Jian Chen paused. He lowered his head and looked at Donglin Yanxue. He said sternly, “You’re heavily injured. You might not be able to travel alone. Are you certain that you want me to let you down?”
Donglin Yanxue did not dare to make eye contact with Jian Chen. She nodded with a blushing face.
“Alright. However, you need to know that we’re technically still close to Qing Shan. We can’t stay here in case he comes in pursuit,” said Jian Chen. He used one hand to support Donglin Yanxue’s waist. He steadied her as he gently placed her on the ground.
Feeling Jian Chen’s thick, powerful arm, Donglin Yanxue’s heart immediately became a mess. Her heart began to beat uncontrollably as her blushed face grew even redder.
Donglin Yanxue struggled to her feet, but right after she took a small step, she could not help but yelp in pain. She staggered and almost fell over.
She had endured a strike from Qing Shan. Even though a formation had blocked the attack, so not even one hundredth of the original attack struck her, she was still severely injured. She could not even walk.
Jian Chen’s hands moved quickly. He took a step forward to support Donglin Yanxue as he said helplessly, “You can’t even stand right now. It’s impossible for you to cover ground alone. Let me carry you.”
Donglin Yanxue’s eyes dodged Jian Chen’s gaze. She did not dare to make eye contact. She gritted her teeth as she faced an internal dilemma.
In the end, perhaps she understood that she was unable to travel alone in her current state and that if she kept wasting time, it was extremely likely for Qing Shan to find them. With no other choice, she agreed to Jian Chen’s suggestion.
