Chapter 2040 (Raw 2135): No Need to Apologize
Braving the toxic rain, Xiao Chen moved quickly. With each gentle push off the marsh with his feet, he moved fifty kilometers.
The pursuing Bai Yunfei had mounted a white snake at some point in time. The gigantic white snake slithered along the ground, moving rapidly. It did not have to worry about the toxic rain splattering it.
The white snake chased Xiao Chen at its fastest speed without any fear. If this continued, it would catch up soon.
Furthermore, Bai Yunfei could preserve his Veritable Essence Energy and physical strength, firmly grasping victory.
Actually, Bai Yunfei could move even faster by flying himself. However, he somewhat feared the God Shadow Bow in Xiao Chen’s hands.
If Xiao Chen fired an arrow and caught Bai Yunfei off guard, it would be somewhat problematic.
Bai Yunfei felt more confident in having the white snake chase after Xiao Chen while he focused on dodging the God Shadow Bow’s arrow.
However, the periphery of Cloud Water Marsh appeared, giving Xiao Chen some hope.
“Whoosh!”
Xiao Chen suddenly felt relaxed as the world before him expanded into a vast and boundless desolate land.
A blazing sun hung high in the sky, turning the land scarlet for five hundred kilometers around. Vegetation was sparse, and the place lacked life.
What is this place?
Xiao Chen thought for a while and recalled what this place was. The Desolate Sea! This was an incredibly vast and boundless region in the Central Great Realm. Even if the northern region and the eastern region were combined, they would not be as vast as the Desolate Sea.
The Desolate Sea lay between the northern region, the eastern region, and the Xuewu Dynasty. It was said to have been the main battlefield of the previous great war between the righteous factions and demonic factions.
This was originally a land of good fortune, a wonderland. After the war, everything turned to ashes, reduced to its current state.
There was no sea but a vast, endless, desolate plain. It was simply too vast, pretty much a sea of land. Hence, this place became known as the Desolate Sea.
Xiao Chen had not expected to arrive in this place when he ran through Cloud Water Marsh without care for the direction.
However, it did not matter. When he had compared the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor’s memories to modern maps, the Azure Dragons’ lands seemed to lie within the Desolate Sea.
It looked like heaven wanted Xiao Chen to head for the Azure Dragons’ lands to follow his ancestors’ footsteps.
“Tweet! Toot…”
Flute sounds rang out, sounding very moving. Bai Yunfei rushed over in close pursuit.
On hearing the flute sounds, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He could not carry on like this.
Even the God Shadow Bow could not scare off the other party.
If Xiao Chen did not teach Bai Yunfei a lesson, Bai Yunfei would not remember it.
“He reached the Desolate Sea?”
Standing on the white snake’s head, Bai Yunfei took in his surroundings with some astonishment.
He had given chase over such a long distance, all unawares, arriving at the Desolate Sea.
After looking around, Bai Yunfei quickly figured out Xiao Chen’s direction. Snakes were extremely sensitive to scent. Since the white snake already smelled Xiao Chen, it would be extremely difficult for Xiao Chen to escape pursuit.
“The Desolate Sea…so be it, then. This place is really hateful!”
The arid environment and the blazing sun above made Bai Yunfei, a water-attributed cultivator, uncomfortable. The gigantic snake under him felt the same.
I cannot keep waiting. There is no need to waste so much time on a mixed-blood dragon.
Bai Yunfei’s sleeves fluttered gently. He decided to go all out, not holding back anymore.
His aura suddenly soared to a terrifying level. The orchid formed by the three marks on his forehead seemed like it could be picked at any moment, looking as delicate and charming as blood.
In the next moment, Bai Yunfei heavily pushed off the head of the white snake.
He raised the flute to his lips and blew it with his Veritable Essence Energy. As the wondrous flute music rang out, his figure soared through the air. His surroundings changed continuously, looking like he was teleporting.
Bai Yunfei moved terrifyingly fast, more than three times the speed of the white snake.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The even more horrifying thing was that the flute sound indiscriminately filled with surroundings with sound wave attacks as it spread in the air.
The sound waves leveled the mountains and blasted the scarlet ground open, sending lava spewing out from the ground. Rocks floated in the air, presenting an apocalyptic scene.
No matter where Xiao Chen hid, as long as Bai Yunfei caught up, the sound waves would immediately injure him. There would be no place to hide.
Suddenly, the flute music stopped.
Bai Yunfei frowned heavily as he lowered his flute. He looked at his surroundings with some shock. Gone.
It’s gone.
The obvious aura from earlier had vanished. It was like Xiao Chen had been erased from the world, not existing at all.
“Where is he?”
Bai Yunfei sighed softly. Then, he looked up and suddenly discovered demonic clouds covering the sky for five thousand kilometers around, blocking out the sky and the sun and turning the surroundings dark.
The instant he looked up, a pair of eyes appeared in the demonic clouds, staring at him.
A Demonic Dao expert!
Bai Yunfei’s expression flickered as he looked into the distance. He spotted a black-cloaked figure with a porcelain-like white mask on the mountain peak in front. The exquisite mask had two vertical rows of strange script.
When Bai Yunfei tried to sense the other party’s cultivation, he found that he could not.
The Desolate Sea abutted the Xuewu Empire. This vast territory was probably the region where Demonic Dao cultivators were most active in the Central Great Realm.
It was not strange to run into Demonic Dao cultivators here.
Just as Bai Yunfei felt confused, a ferocious beast soul suddenly appeared in front of him.
A Qiongqi Beast, a Great Desolate Eon ferocious beast!
Bai Yunfei was shocked. This thing was even more of a challenge than the God Shadow Bow’s arrow.
Even though Bai Yunfei already retreated as quickly as he could, that Qiongqi Beast still managed to bite him.
Then, Bai Yunfei’s soul turned into a shadow as it was dragged out.
After the Qiongqi Beast took a bite of Bai Yunfei’s soul, a jade pendant on his neck released a ring of white light, forcibly pulling his soul back into his body.
Bai Yunfei cried out in pain, turning pale. As he held his forehead, he retreated hastily.
A Soul Tool! Another Soul Tool!
The sight of the Qiongqi Beast Ghost Pennant in the cloaked man’s hand at the mountain peak made Bai Yunfei’s heart pound heavily.
What’s going on today? First, Xiao Chen casually took out a Soul Tool.
Then, I happen to run into a Demonic Dao cultivator with a Soul Tool.
Aren’t Soul Tools supposed to be forbidden treasures of sects?
Has the world changed to the point where I’ll have to carry a Soul Tool when I go out in the future?
Bai Yunfei felt very depressed as he vomited blood. He had not suffered this much in such a long time. To think that he even suffered a severe injury to his soul.
If not for having an item that defended against Soul Techniques, he would have died here.
“Why did you attack me for no reason? If you do not give me a reason, I, Bai Yunfei, will never leave this lying.”
Bai Yunfei knew that he was quite famous in the Desolate Sea. Most Demonic Dao experts would give him some face.
Even if the Demonic Dao cultivators did not give Bai Yunfei face, they would give face to the White Marsh Beast Empire’s royal clan. The Bai Clan was like an overlord that ruled over an area of the Central Great Realm.
A sinister voice came from that cloaked man.
“Haha! I just captured a good physical body and am preparing to sacrifice and form it into a demonic soul. You charge into this place while releasing sound wave attacks, and you still asked me why I attack?! Scram! If not for giving face to your Bai Clan, I would sacrifice you as well!”
This startled Bai Yunfei. Just captured a physical body. Could it be…
“Might I ask Senior if the physical body that you captured was wearing white and poisoned?”
“I have nothing to tell you. Scram!”
However, Bai Yunfei smiled when the cloaked man raged. It looks like it’s true.
No wonder Xiao Chen disappeared silently.
So, this Soul Devouring Hall person dealt with him and will even refine his soul.
Hehe! That’s very pitiful.
The pain from the soul being sacrificed is unbearable, making one seek death. It’s eternal torture.
This person successfully practiced the Supreme Dragon Fist. He originally possessed infinite potential. To think that he met with such an end. That really makes one sigh.
Bai Yunfei immediately felt that his soul injury was nothing.
He even felt somewhat guilty. Such an end was because he pursued Xiao Chen.
However, don’t blame me. If you died meekly at my hands, it would not be this painful.
“I’m sorry for interrupting, Senior. I will take my leave now. Previously, I did not know that Senior was sacrificing and refining a ghost pennant,” Bai Yunfei said with a cupped-fist salute, taking his leave after apologizing with a faint smile.
After Bai Yunfei had gone far away, disappearing into Cloud Water Marsh, Xiao Chen slowly took the mask off his face.
“There’s no need to apologize. I should be the one apologizing,” Xiao Chen muttered to himself. When he looked into the Qiongqi Beast Ghost Pennant, he saw a piece of Bai Yunfei’s soul in there.
I’ll keep this piece of soul first. Perhaps I can use it in the future.
Now, I have to find a place to treat my injuries. I have not forced the toxins out of my body yet. Xiao Chen nearly overdrew his Soul Energy to activate the Qiongqi Beast Ghost Pennant. However, it had been worth it.
