Chapter 740: Chapter 712 Pursuit

"Puh!"

After killing Roger, Li Chen could no longer hold himself up and collapsed onto one knee on the ground.

He took out the Cold Pool Water he had prepared in advance and drank it fiercely, only then did his complexion start to look a little better.

This time, he had again devoured the Mysterious Energy within his body.

It must be said that compared to last time, the Mysterious Energy this time was far greater and even harder to swallow. Forcibly devouring it, Li Chen had paid a significant price. Coupled with activating the Red Moon, the burden on Li Chen’s body had reached a horrifying extent.

Even on many parts of Li Chen’s body, there were cracks resembling dried-up land.

Blood continuously flowed out from his body. Some that infiltrated the Red Moon were slowly absorbed by it, but even the Red Moon absorbed Li Chen’s blood very slowly.

Ignoring Roger, Li Chen forced his body to support itself and moved with difficulty to Yao Chou’s side.

By this time, Yao Chou had already completely lost consciousness. Li Chen probed near Yao Chou’s nose and his expression instantly turned ugly.

"No! You can’t die!"

"You’ve paid off what you owed me, but now, it’s I who owe you! You cannot just die like this!" Li Chen’s face changed.

The next moment, Li Chen took out something else from his bosom.

It was a flower, one as vividly red as blood.

This was a treasure that Li Chen had obtained in the Relic.

He had only found some fragmentary records about this object in books, but Li Chen still did not know its origin.

However, Li Chen could feel the immense energy contained within it. Originally, he had prepared it as a life-saving treasure.

But now.

Without much hesitation, Li Chen stuffed the fiery-red flower directly into Yao Chou’s mouth, then forced him to swallow it down with the Cold Pool Water.

"I’ve done what I could, whether you can survive or not is up to you now." Li Chen’s gaze flickered slightly.

At this time, figures also began to appear at the foot of the mountain.

These were members of the Nether Army who had been lying in wait down below. Seeing the storm above dissipate, they started attempting to climb the mountain.

Li Chen walked down the mountain with some difficulty: "Take good care of Yao Chou. Also, prepare a helicopter for me, to find the person who took An Qin away!"

"Yes!"

The Nether Army Warrior responded and quickly left the place, while several others charged towards the top of the mountain.

Li Chen really wanted to stay, but he understood that now was not the time.

An Qin had been taken away; no matter what, he had to find her first.

It was just a short while before a helicopter arrived beside Li Chen.

Without hesitation, Li Chen jumped onto the helicopter, and it slowly left the ground, heading in a certain direction.

This time, he was going to search for An Qin and, by the way, deal with the person who had taken her away.

Although Li Chen knew that the person who had taken An Qin was very likely also an expert,

And based on what Roger had said before, at least a Mystic Rank Expert, he still had to go.

For An Qin.

Sitting on the helicopter, Li Chen lightly closed his eyes as his True Qi rapidly circulated within his body.

He had to intercept the person before they could take An Qin back to their base.

Although Li Chen knew that the person might have left some time ago, he also understood, regardless, he had to chase after them.

Because that was An Qin!!

As for the specific reason, even Li Chen himself couldn’t say for sure.

But An Qin absolutely could not be taken away by them.

During his cultivation, Li Chen would occasionally gulp down Cold Pool Water, and he had deliberately brought White Snake Meat with him as food, constantly feeding it into his mouth.

As these things entered his stomach, Li Chen also felt his injuries gradually getting better.

Even the True Qi, which had been fluctuating due to the absorption of Mysterious Energy, began to stabilize.

After swallowing Mysterious Energy, Li Chen’s strength had advanced another step, moving directly from the Mysterious Level beginner stage to the Mysterious Level intermediate stage, which was impossible for someone who had just broken through to the Mysterious Level.

But Li Chen had done it.

Similarly, he understood how difficult this breakthrough had been, just a little bit, just a tiny bit more, and his body would have collapsed on its own.

That was the consequence of an unstable foundation.

"Have you found the exact location?" After a round of healing, Li Chen opened his eyes and realized he was still in the helicopter, then he asked the Nether Army soldier who was piloting the helicopter in front.

"We have found it." The Nether Army soldier turned his head slightly and said to Li Chen, "Actually, when Miss An Qin was taken away, we secretly slipped a locator on her, so we are able to find her current position."

"That’s good," Li Chen nodded, "How much farther?"

"We are getting close."

Li Chen turned his head and looked outside the helicopter to find that, without knowing when, they had already arrived within a mountain range.

The mountain range was very vast, especially a peak in the distance that soared into the clouds, such that even the top of the mountain was hidden above the cloud layer, completely out of sight.

"Lord! We’ve found it!"

Suddenly, the Nether Army soldier in front turned to Li Chen and spoke.

Above the helicopter, a locator showed that they were extremely close to another red dot.

"Is this An Qin’s location?" Li Chen looked at the red dot above and narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

"Correct."

Li Chen nodded, "Alright, lower the altitude now, I’ll go down and find her directly."

"Yes!"

The helicopter slowly descended, and Li Chen found that the place they were approaching was actually that very peak which reached into the clouds.

But why would An Qin be taken to a place like this?

"Could it be?!"

An idea suddenly popped into Li Chen’s mind, and even he himself was startled by the thought.

However, after noticing the gigantic peak, Li Chen became even more certain.

"This... Is this the Holy Mountain?!"

Without further thought, as the helicopter descended slowly, and at about ten meters above the ground, Li Chen jumped directly from the helicopter.

"Bang!"

Landing on the trunk of a large tree, the tree made a sound as if it could not bear the weight and snapped.

Using this action to cushion a great deal of the force, Li Chen landed on the ground.

No sooner had he landed than Li Chen sprinted towards the location of the red dot he had seen from the helicopter.

"An Qin!! I’m coming!!"
