Chapter 895 - 895 881 Falling off the Cliff

Chapter 895: Chapter 881: Falling off the Cliff Chapter 895: Chapter 881: Falling off the Cliff Ye Chen couldn’t tell north from south anymore. He could only care about moving back. Although he had a map, he could no longer distinguish the directions in the chaos of the fight. How could he possibly know where he was, especially when darkness enveloped everything? He only knew the people behind him would catch up soon. Danger was rapidly approaching, with the Winged Dragons and menacing monsters chasing the quickest.

Drawing energy from the box to ward off the fierce beasts, he inadvertently alerted the people behind him, further exposing his location. He had no choice but to tell the people ahead, “Scatter, everyone descend the mountain on your own.”

Staying together was certainly not a good strategy at that moment. With a large group closely following, focusing exclusively on them, Ye Chen again said, “Go, hurry up and leave; don’t worry about the rest. Just escape down the mountain first.”

Ye Chen took up the rear, unaware that Shangguan Heiqi had set his sights on him long ago. Ye Chen hadn’t forgotten his intention to kill the man. A Sky-shattering Hammer struck with dense lightning. Ye Chen used the energy released from the box to counter the shockwave, but he was intercepted. It seemed as if there was no path ahead; as if he had reached the mountain peak, and one step further would lead straight off a cliff. Although they had dispersed, a few of his men still followed him.

He couldn’t worry about that now. Seeing that they were about to be encircled, Ye Chen said, “Don’t worry about me, just go.” At that moment, escaping was all that mattered.

“What about you?” one disciple asked, concerned.

Ye Chen knew that even if these people stayed, it wouldn’t make a difference. He responded, “Don’t worry, I’m good at light body techniques. Once you all leave, it’ll be easier for me to get away.” He knew he was being targeted and had no other choice but to say this to his people.

Only then did those few men leave.

Boom, an energy blast came straight at him from the domineering Shangguan Heiqi. Lightning surged like a tidal wave, and Ye Chen hastily deployed the box’s energy, yet he was still pushed back, sliding backward.

Ye Chen summoned even stronger energy to fend off Shangguan Heiqi. He knew this wasn’t the time to fight to win or lose; escaping was the priority.

The Red Demonic Spirit urged anxiously, “We better hurry and leave.”

“Of course, I know we need to hurry, but we have to figure out how to shake this guy off first. You can’t escape him so easily,” Ye Chen replied, also desperate to survive.

Without any hesitation, he released energy to strike at those following close behind. Boom boom boom, he forced them back and prepared to leave, but he hadn’t anticipated Ace Killer sneaking up from behind during the skirmish with Shangguan Heiqi. With a surprise attack, Ace Killer landed a poisonous palm strike on Ye Chen’s chest, causing him to spit out blood.

Stunned for a moment, by the time Ye Chen stood up, Shangguan Heiqi was already upon him. Ace Killer, appearing triumphant, had cut off his path. Ye Chen sensed trouble.

“I wonder how long you can last,” Ace Killer said coldly.

The Red Demonic Spirit warned, “There’s poison in the palm strike.”

Ye Chen felt it and quickly sealed off the blood flow on one side to slow the poison’s spread. But the power of that palm was overwhelming; he was starting to feel dizzy.

He tried to make his way past Ace Killer.

But after two exchanges, he didn’t succeed, and Shangguan Heiqi’s Sky-shattering Hammer came crashing down, forcing him toward the edge of the cliff.

His complexion darkened, clearly affected by the poison that was now coursing through his veins.

Ye Chen steadied himself. Without the Energy Box, it would be impossible to push Shangguan Heiqi back.

With no other option, he summoned as much energy as he could from the box and lashed out. But by then, he was surrounded by a large group, all radiating murderous intent.

Ye Chen’s energy blocked a lightning-fast Fire Dragon that came at him.

However, Shangguan Heiqi kept releasing energy. At that critical moment, Teng Yun’e launched a massive blade attack. Ye Chen quickly released energy to block the blade, but his strength was visibly waning. Poison was taking its toll, making him more and more uncomfortable. His face was as pale as death, blood continuously spurting from his mouth. The Red Demonic Spirit wanted to help.

But Ace Killer was also launching an attack. In this desperate situation, with no way out, Shangguan Heiqi saw his chance and unleashed a lightning strike as if a deity was bearing down upon him.

Ye Chen released as much energy as he could from the box. But how could one person stand against three, especially after being hit by the poisoned palm? His body felt as if it no longer belonged to him. The Sky-shattering Hammer released a shockwave, swallowing up Ye Chen’s energy and blowing him back with a loud boom. Ye Chen was sent flying toward the cliff behind him.

A painful cry vanished into the dark abyss below the cliff.

Several of his men saw it happen and almost cried out. No, how could this be, it couldn’t be.

The Minotaur at the front watched the pitch-black depths below the cliff.

Elder Xi Feng flew over and asked, “Where’s the Sect Leader of the New City Sect?”

Teng Yun’e pointed downward at the cliff.

“What? He jumped off the cliff?” Elder Xi Feng asked.

“It wasn’t a jump; I hit him, and the shockwave blew him off the edge,” Shangguan Heiqi replied.

“Quick, send someone down to check if he’s dead.”

“It’s so high, try jumping down and see if you can stay alive,” Teng Yun’e said.

“Definitely smashed to pieces, and even if he’s not, having been struck by my poison palm, he wouldn’t survive anyway. Do you really think the poisons I’ve studied can be easily resolved by just anyone?” Ace Killer said.

“He was also hit by your poison palm?” Elder Xi Feng asked.

“Yes, it was my Ace Killer Poison Palm. Few can escape it.”

Elder Xi Feng made a mistake. The Hell Tower was sealed with a Secret Talisman, which was extremely difficult to undo. It had already taken them half a year to slowly break the original seal. This new talisman would take no less than three months to open. Letting that group escape was regrettable, but killing the Sect Leader of the New City Sect would be considered a consolation prize.

“All right, it’s time to give us the antidote,” the Ace Killer said.

“No rush, as long as we’re certain he’s dead, I’ll give you the antidote.”

Upon hearing this, the Ace Killer angrily said, “Are you going back on your word and playing us?”

“If he is confirmed dead, I will definitely give you the antidote. Rest assured, the poison won’t act so quickly,” Elder Xi Feng replied, already turning away.

The Ace Killer, tiger-eyed, looked like he was about to charge over and said, “Is this old geezer trying to play us?”

Teng Yun’e let out a cold laugh and said, “He wouldn’t dare. Once we find the body, let’s see what he has to say.”

All was quiet, and the night grew deeper.

Elder Xi Feng did not continue to pursue those minions.

He found Elder Xuan in the Hell Tower and asked, “How is it?”

Elder Xuan shook his head and said, “A new seal has been applied. It simply can’t be broken in less than three months.”

“So, it’s even harder to open the other Sealed Doors now.”

Elder Xuan nodded in response.

“Damn it,” Elder Xi Feng muttered to himself as he stared at the Hell Tower, “How could I have been so careless.”

“Then take your time solving it,” the Ace Killer continued. “You have all the time you need now, with no one to disturb you.”

“You figure it out,” Elder Xi Feng said.

After hearing this, Elder Xuan withdrew.

All was quiet. Li Mo was waiting for news, waiting for news of the Sect Leader. They were already at the foot of the mountain and hadn’t seen the Dragon Slaying Clan or Shangguan Heiqi chasing after them. They felt somewhat relieved at this point, but the worry did not dissipate. Of course, their greatest concern was for the Sect Leader, and they were at the agreed-upon meeting spot.

He knew that Elder Xi Feng, after leading those in pursuit back, must have realized what had happened, which is why he returned.

Soon after, a disciple came running back in tears with an injured disciple behind him. It was one who had stayed to help Ye Chen. Not many were left, and they seemed to have lost their souls.

Li Mo immediately asked, “What the hell happened?”

The disciple hesitated to speak, not knowing what to say. The wounded disciple, clutching his arm, said, “The Sect Leader fell off a cliff.”

“What?” Li Mo could hardly believe it.

The crying disciple said, “After we applied the Bagua Secret Talisman, those people came back. We planned to run away, fleeing backward, but it was too dark, and they came so quickly. We were forced to keep moving forward blindly. Then we were tied up by those monsters and the Winged Dragon. Shangguan Heiqi then arrived; the Sect Leader opened the Energy Box and released energy to deal with Shangguan Heiqi. But we were driven into a corner. The Sect Leader told us to run first, saying it would be easier for him to escape alone.”

“You left him behind?”

“He ordered us to go. He indeed tried to escape. After releasing a surge of energy, he was about to flee when suddenly, a dark figure emerged from behind. After the Sect Leader pushed Shangguan Heiqi back, the figure launched a surprise attack, striking the Sect Leader and forcing him back. The Sect Leader was injured, seemingly poisoned, and was driven right to the edge of the cliff. He released an even greater burst of energy, but then, three guys attacked him all at once.

“The Sect Leader couldn’t hold them off. We were too late to return. With a blast, the Sect Leader was sent flying off the cliff.”

At that moment, Li Mo’s tears had already surged forth, finding it hard to believe, regretting why he hadn’t stayed. But now, it was too late for regrets. What would Yun’er do when she found out about this? Could she bear it?

The two disciples were already crying their eyes out.

Li Mo cried out, “It’s impossible for the Sect Leader to just die like that. I must go and bring him back.” He had completely lost control, determined to find the Sect Leader.
