Chapter 560: Chapter 546 Sudden Change in Chaoyang Valley

Xiao Ye frantically fled through Chaoyang Valley, not even having time to check the chains on Little White, with Qi Lianshan in relentless pursuit.

At first, Qi Lianshan feared that Xiao Ye would produce the Heavenly Martial Order and didn’t dare to follow too closely, but after some time, noticing that Xiao Ye showed no sign of using the order, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With his wisdom, he could guess that activating the Heavenly Martial Order must carry a price Xiao Ye was unwilling to pay; otherwise, Xiao Ye would have used it already—why else would he flee like this?

"Kid, just hand over that Ferocious Beast with the Emperor Vein, I guarantee I can let you go," Qi Lianshan shouted from behind while chasing.

Regardless of anything, Xiao Ye still possessed the Heavenly Martial Order, so Qi Lianshan didn’t dare to press him too hard and his words weren’t overly absolute.

"To think he even knows about Little White!" Xiao Ye’s gaze turned icy cold.

The other party was so informed, it must have been Martial Break’s doing.

"Damn Martial Break, I shouldn’t have let him go last time!" Xiao Ye’s heart was ablaze with rage, filled with a torrent of killing intent.

Previously, he thought that Martial Break would fear the Heavenly Martial Order on him and not dare to harm him, yet the other party had found a powerful ally like Qi Lianshan—this was his miscalculation.

Furthermore, it seemed obvious that Qi Lianshan knew about the Heavenly Martial Order on him, yet he still refused to give up the chase.

"What to do? There are no Ferocious Beasts here; I can’t utilize Little White’s innate ultimate moves. Do I really need to use the Heavenly Martial Order?" Xiao Ye’s heart grew anxious.

The cost of activating the Heavenly Martial Order was simply too great and could potentially affect his Martial Arts foundation. Unless it was a last resort, Xiao Ye was reluctant to use it for now.

"No choice, it seems he’s also very afraid of the Heavenly Martial Order on me. Otherwise, with his speed, he would have stopped me long ago," Xiao Ye analyzed calmly, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

Worst comes to worst, he would risk both the jade and the stone being shattered by activating the Heavenly Martial Order; there was no way he would hand over Little White.

Qi Lianshan do indeed have such concerns. After catching up to Xiao Ye, he could only follow at a distance, wary of getting too close, which made him feel extremely stifled. Despite repeatedly threatening, Xiao Ye completely ignored him.

Clearly, Xiao Ye had figured out his fear of the Heavenly Martial Order.

Thus, the two young powerhouses continued to fly around Chaoyang Valley non-stop, each harboring their own thoughts. Qi Lianshan, while not taking action, did not dare to give up on Xiao Ye either.

"Hmph, a new disciple who has just ascended to the King Martial realm, in terms of the depth of King Martial Power, how can you compare to me? I’ll simply wear you out until you don’t even have the strength to take out the Heavenly Martial Order anymore. Then, how will you protect that Ferocious Beast?" Qi Lianshan thought and became less anxious, leisurely following behind Xiao Ye.

After all, he couldn’t catch Little White immediately, so he decided to gradually wear Xiao Ye down over time. After all, his King Martial Power was deep and robust, so he didn’t have to worry about lacking in reserves.

"Comparing reserves with me?" After a while, Xiao Ye noticed Qi Lianshan’s quiet pursuit and immediately guessed his opponent’s thoughts, a cold smirk appearing on his face.

He bore the never-before-seen legacy of the four King Realms from the True Spirit Continent, and although he hadn’t yet comprehended the secret technique to combine the four types of King Martial Power from the Four Emperor Skills King Martial Scroll, when it came to foundations, no one in the King Martial Realm could match him.

If the other party wanted to play, then he was ready to play along.

Once the other’s King Martial Power was depleted, his own peril would naturally be resolved, and he wouldn’t even need to activate the Heavenly Martial Order.

Thus, the two young powerhouses, each with their ironclad convictions, began an enduring battle of attrition.

Although their speed wasn’t fast, it was certainly not slow, posing a considerable burden for Xiao Ye. After three hours, his Fire King Realm was drained of all its power and dimmed.

But Xiao Ye wasn’t worried at all. With a thought, he drew a vast amount of King Martial Power from the Earth King Realm, coursing it through his body, rejuvenating his spirit instantly, and resumed flying.

Time passed, and Qi Lianshan finally sensed something amiss.

"What’s going on? How has this kid’s King Martial Power not been depleted yet!" Qi Lianshan felt a jolt of alarm.

Because after such prolonged flight—enough to wear even him down—his own King Martial Power had been reduced by half, yet Xiao Ye was still maintaining a peak speed in flight.

Moreover, he hadn’t seen Xiao Ye consume any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or Elixirs this entire way; such a scenario was truly beyond logic!

"Damn it, it’s not easy to get a chance to obtain a Ferocious Beast with an Emperor Vein; I can’t just give up like this!" Qi Lianshan’s eyes flared with a vicious glint, yet he continued his pursuit of Xiao Ye.

"Still not giving up? Truly foolish." Xiao Ye felt incredibly at ease. In the midst of fleeing, he glanced back at Qi Lianshan, a mocking look spread across his face.

The other’s Cultivation far surpassed him; even though his own Cultivation had, after training in Chaoyang Valley, approached the cusp of King Martial Level 2, it was still tough to contend with the opponent.

But even a tiger, no matter how fierce, poses little threat once its teeth are pulled.

When Qi Lianshan’s King Martial Power was significantly exhausted, like a tiger that had its teeth pulled, killing him would not be too difficult for Xiao Ye. At that point, it would be a dramatic reversal of the situation.

As time wore on, the sun also descended to the west, giving off its dwindling heat, rendering the entire Chaoyang Valley a crimson hue, which looked extremely eerie.

The two young powerhouse flyers were unaware that within Chaoyang Valley, the howling winds had suddenly disappeared, the atmosphere became petrified, and blood-colored grass roots began to form on the ground, swaying without wind, adding to the extreme eeriness.

At this point, Xiao Ye was left with only the last realm’s power, while Qi Lianshan’s King Martial Power was down to a mere ten percent.

He couldn’t bear it any longer; continuing like this, not to mention capturing Little White, even he himself would be in danger.

"This kid has some trick up his sleeve, maybe he has other treasures. I must move to kill him now, not giving him any chance to counterattack!" Qi Lianshan’s eyes erupted with a blazing, cold light.

Just at that moment—

Boom boom boom!

The whole Chaoyang Valley began to shake violently, and spider web-like cracks spread in all directions, while Chaoyang Valley was engulfed by an invisible black curtain.

"This..." Qi Lianshan stopped in shock, staring at the Chaoyang Valley that fell into darkness, and an involuntary rumor surfaced in his mind.
