Chapter 168: Chasing Through the Flames, the Arrival of Murderous Intent

Only by taking risks can one obtain benefits.

Immediately following, one figure after another jumped directly into the Yanyang Liechi, using their SoulRefining to protect their bodies as they flew toward the Lake Bottom.

Chu Xuanxian Stood Up, glanced at Chen Yan, and then jumped directly into the Huo Hai.

Chen Yu was somewhat nervous, but after noticing the Gaze that her Brother had inadvertently swept over, she also understood.

Condensing an Array Disk around their body, they jumped into the Huo Hai.

Very quickly, only the last few people remained on the burning small boat.

Chen Yan, Shao Hengyang, and of course, those three men from the University Alliance.

Chen Yan Stood Up, and at this moment, everyone else also Stood Up with a tacit understanding.

A murderous intent spilled out over the small boat that was being gradually consumed by flames.

Shao Hengyang narrowed his eyes; Chen Yan said nothing, but he was not a fool.

The atmosphere at this moment was clearly not right.

"He is a Five-Stage General Star; do you dare to make a move against him?" Shao Hengyang said with a Cold Voice.

Among those three, the Youth who was the leader laughed:

"Five-Stage, very strong?"

Shao Hengyang Frown, looking toward the high sky:

"Trial Executor, will you not manage this matter?"

His voice surged outward, but that Masked Man did not Appear.

"I gave him a benefit he could not refuse."

The leading Youth laughed very indifferently.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, only to see that one of Shao Hengyang's hands had already grabbed his Shoulder.

Shao Hengyang shook his head slightly.

The next instant.

Boom—

A great force arrived; Chen Yan was thrown directly by Shao Hengyang, flying into the Huo Hai.

"You escape first; their target is you." Shao Hengyang's voice came through.

Chen Yan's Mu Jin changed slightly, and the next moment, Golden Light surged over his whole body as he dove into the Huo Hai.

Boom!

A roaring sound resonated from the Lake Surface.

Shao Hengyang had already begun to battle with those three.

And in the next moment, among those three, one engaged in a fierce battle with Shao Hengyang, while the other two broke away instantly.

Boom!

Blood Light surged over their bodies, their Aura terrifying to the extreme.

Chen Yan looked back to assess.

Peak Golden Body Realm!

No!

Their Aura was very strange.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, Golden Light exploded over his body, and his speed swimming through the Huo Hai became even faster.

He had exposed seventy percent of his strength at the Gong Family, yet these people still dared to come and kill him.

That meant they were very confident in their own strength.

To make a move rashly now would be unwise; at the very least, he needed to find an opportunity to figure out their true strength.

The three of them chased continuously within the Huo Hai, their speed extremely fast.

Chu Xuanxian and the others who had jumped into the Huo Hai ahead of time all noticed this side, each of them wearing a strange expression.

Not far away, Chen Yu, with an Array Disk rising around her body, also flew in parallel, separated by several hundred meters.

Once no one was around, she would instantly kill those two.

It was also at this moment.

A figure in a long dress suddenly flew over, blocking the path of those two, instantly intercepting the leading Long-haired Youth.

"Chen Ning, you are stopping me!?"

The leading Long-haired Youth gave a low shout, though he did not make a move.

"Chen Teng, killing him is the wrong decision!" the woman in the long dress named Chen Ning said in a low voice.

She had been sent by Chen Zhihe specifically to ensure Chen Yan did not die.

"A wrong decision?" A Cold Snort appeared at the corner of Chen Teng's Mouth:

"Then let it continue to be wrong; everything is for the Family. You stopped me, but you didn't stop Chen Bao."

There were three people in total; two were stopped, but there was still one person behind Chen Yan pursuing and killing him.

That person had a Cold Snort in their eyes and spoke coldly:

"Leave him to me alone; in a moment, I will bring his head to see Brother Chen Teng."

Chen Teng stood with his hands behind his back, and at this moment, he no longer had any intention of continuing to pursue Chen Yan.

Chen Ning, wearing a long dress, Frown, and then shook her head.

She had already done what she could; if Chen Yan could not survive, then he was courting his own death.

Clearly, Chen Zhihe had already warned the other party before.

Chen Yan sped along, the Heavenly Patrol within his body circulating, the golden waves covering his whole body being constantly corroded by the Huo Hai.

Chen Yan pondered in his heart; the person still pursuing him from behind was not much slower than him.

The Aura radiating from their entire body did not seem like the Golden Body Realm either.

Initial Origin Realm!

Chen Yan's expression turned cold; he had yet to kill anyone in the Initial Origin Realm.

It was also at this moment that a Stone House appeared ahead in his blurred vision.

That Stone House was very strange; the main gate was wide open, just floating like that within the Huo Hai, and at the base of the house, Orange Tree Roots were spreading out, though the roots did not touch the Lake Bottom.

It was just like a small Tree with a house-shaped crown.

Chen Yan knitted his brows; he did not intend to rush into the Stone House, planning instead to lead the person behind him to an uninhabited area to properly investigate the opponent's strength.

But just as Chen Yan brushed past the Stone House, a figure suddenly appeared inside it.

Chu Xuanxian.

Chu Xuanxian was holding a Long Sword, his pair of Pupils looking at Chen Yan with indifference at this moment.

Buzz.

The sound of a sword ringing arose.

Separated by a distance of several dozen meters, he thrust his sword toward Chen Yan.

Hiss!!!

Within the Huo Hai, countless drops of sword light suddenly pierced over, the sharp Sword Intent flowing in waves, instantly submerging Chen Yan.

Swish, swish, swish!

The Golden Gang Qi all over Chen Yan's body was pierced through by this Rain of Sword Intent, and cold killing intent surfaced in the depths of Chen Yan's eyes as he continued to speed away into the distance.

Behind him, Chen Bao, who was pursuing Chen Yan, had a savage Laughter appear at the corner of his Mouth, and with a wave of one hand, an Iron Box flew toward Chu Xuanxian:

"Well done!"

Chu Xuanxian caught the Iron Box, glanced at Chen Yan who was speeding far away, and closed the Stone Gate with a calm Mu Guang.

Instantly, the flames inside the Stone House were dispersed, and Chu Xuanxian's expression turned somber:

"Indeed... very strong."

He murmured:

"But he is also heavily injured."

He looked toward the center of the Stone House, where a thick Orange Tree Trunk ran through the top and bottom of the house, and upon it, vines twisted like Tentacles.

…………

Outside, Chen Yu's expression was extremely somber; she glanced in the direction of the Stone House and continued to speed toward where Chen Yan was.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

The surrounding Huo Hai was corroding, and the Golden Formation Disk beside Chen Yu was being continuously corroded.

"Xiaoyu, if you keep chasing, you won't be able to hold on yourself."

In the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman spoke.

The corrosive power of this Huo Hai was not simple at all.

Chen Yu clenched her fists.

The Red Skirt Woman, however, said calmly:

"Can't you see? Your Brother is baiting that person."

The Red Skirt Woman's expression carried a trace of surprise.

Chen Yan's speed should not be this slow; it was clearly a sign that he was waiting for the opponent.

On the contrary, if Chen Yu continued to chase, she would likely become a burden.

"I see it, but I..."

Chen Yu murmured, struggling immensely in her heart, yet in the next moment, she made her decision and flew to the front of the Stone House where Chu Xuanxian was.

Inside the house, Chu Xuanxian's voice came:

"Wen Xin, one Stone House can only hold one person; I only just discovered this rule."

Chu Xuanxian clearly possessed a trace of vigilance.

"I understand." Chen Yu spoke.

Time passed slowly.

Inside a Stone House.

The Chang Qun Nüzi named Chen Ning had a somber expression as she held up her phone and spoke:

"Sister Zhihe, I messed up."

Chen Zhihe's cold voice came from the other end of the phone:

"What is the situation?"

"Chen Teng and the other two are right at the Yanyang Liechi; who knew Chen Yan would come here? I stopped Chen Teng, but I didn't stop Chen Bao.

Chen Bao is at the Initial Origin Realm and is currently pursuing Chen Yan inside the Yanyang Liechi."

There was a silence on the other end of the phone.

"Damn it!"

Chen Zhihe's sharp voice rang out:

"A Chen Yan is not important; what is important is what the Five Clan Chen Family will think if they find out Chen Yan was killed by us.

Killing Chen Yan undoubtedly gives Shen Yiwei's side a handle on us!"

Chen Ning's expression turned to Paleness.

Chen Teng and the others killing Chen Yan was simply placing too much importance on Chen Yan's own potential.

They believed that if Chen Yan did not die, he would quickly grow into an enemy threatening enough to the Luo Chen.

Therefore, they had to defy the threats of the Main Family and kill Chen Yan in advance.

Chen Ning and Chen Zhihe, on the other hand, placed more importance on the dissatisfaction of the Main Family.

It was just that by now, there was no other way.

After all, Chen Bao had already gone to kill Chen Yan.

"Courting death!" Chen Zhihe spoke indifferently from the other side of the phone:

"I had already told him what Chen Yan would encounter; who knew he would be so foolish!"

………………

At the same time, in the Depth of the Huo Hai.

A wisp of Black Smoke gradually emerged from Chen Yan's body.

Behind him, the pursuing Chen Bao also began to have his Skin corroded.

Chen Bao gave a Cold Snort, waved one hand, and Black Light surged over his entire body, transforming into a pitch-black Battle Armor that clung to his physique.

"It was already beyond my expectations that you could hold on in the Yanyang Liechi for half an hour, but I have Battle Armor, so how much longer can you hold on?"

Chen Bao's face was filled with Ferociousness:

"That Li Hou is as stupid as a pig, actually letting you grow to this extent.

You are still alive because of Shen Yiwei; now that Shen Yiwei is not here, what are you still struggling for?"

The chase continued.

Chen Bao's expression became increasingly ugly, because the Battle Armor on his body was now also starting to emit Black Smoke.

The Azure Dome Grade Battle Armor was actually about to be corroded by this Huo Hai; it was unlikely to last more than half an hour.

His expression grew worse and worse.

Time passed slowly, and Chen Yan and Chen Bao had been chasing in the Depth of the Huo Hai for fifty minutes.

Fifty minutes was enough for an average genius to be burned to death five times.

The Battle Armor on Chen Bao's body had also gradually been more than half corroded.

Until a certain moment.

The Youth, whose entire body was emitting Black Smoke, suddenly slowed down, and then fell toward the Lake Bottom like a dead fish.

He had been burned to death alive.

Mu Jin in Chen Bao's Pupil instantly brightened, and a Cold Snort appeared.

"Go on, run! Keep running!"

His face became filled with Ferociousness; Chen Yan had held on in the Huo Hai for a full fifty minutes, which had completely exceeded his imagination.

Flying to the place where Chen Yan was, the Smile on the corner of Chen Bao's Mouth became exuberant.

Radiance flickered between his Finger, and he prepared to use his Space Ring to collect Chen Yan's Corpse, but the next moment, his Spirit changed drastically.
