Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

Chapter 121 The Chase

"Pfft"

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh rang out. The Dark Ink Sweeping Smoke technique was particularly effective against agility, and with just one move, it sent the masked man tumbling down from the tree.

Fallen leaves fluttered in the woods, startling birds into flight and causing them to cry.

However, the opponent is at the Qi Condensation Realm and has true qi protecting their body. This move will at most severely injure them, but will never kill them.

Chen Feng gave the masked man no chance to breathe. His true energy enveloped the sword, turning it black with the essence of the Ink Splash Sword Technique, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Faced with the sword strikes, the masked man was extremely frustrated, unable to block or dodge them, and was forced to retreat step by step.

In the chaos, he was repeatedly slashed by the sword, and his movements became increasingly sluggish.

Swah—

The sword was almost touching the masked man's neck, just a hair's breadth away from severing his head.

Chen Feng held his sword against the masked man's throat with one hand and ripped off the mask from the man's face with the other, revealing an unfamiliar face.

"What about Ge Shan? My patience is limited. I'll only give you three numbers. Answer and you live; don't answer and you die. Three-one."

Chen Feng's eyes turned slightly cold as he began to time the event.

"How can I believe you'll let me go?" The man's Adam's apple bobbed, and his face turned deathly pale.

"one"

Chen Feng applied slight pressure, and the blade pierced the neck shallowly, cutting the skin and drawing out droplets of blood.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! He's right there..."

,

""

Just as he was about to speak, a figure walked towards them from the direction of the official road. The person made no attempt to conceal themselves, and the rustling sound of their clothes brushing against the leaves clearly reached Chen Feng's ears.

Chen Feng caught a glimpse of joy on the face of the person in front of him and made a decisive move.

The sword flashed, and blood gushed forth.

"Don't move!" the newcomer said in a low, menacing voice; it was Xie Xuan.

He was still holding Ge Shan by the neck. At this moment, Ge Shan was like a candle flickering in the wind, his chest heaving, and he was about to be strangled to death.

Xie Xuan was preparing to use Ge Shan as a threat.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

[Experience +1000]

Seeing the corpse at Chen Feng's feet, Xie Xuan felt a surge of anger and gritted his teeth: "Kid! You're asking for death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xuan casually tossed Ge Shan aside and suddenly shot out without any warning.

The fierce kick tore through the air, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, and went straight for Chen Feng's side.

So fast!

Chen Feng's pupils contracted sharply. He quickly flipped his wrist, and with a flash of cold light, his longsword was already horizontally blocking in front of him.

"clang"

The resounding clang of metal against metal echoed through the forest as the sword's spine slammed into the sole of the opponent's shoe, unleashing a tremendous force that swept through the blade.

Chen Feng took two steps back, crushing the withered branches and leaves on the ground, thus dissipating all the force.

"The Enlightenment Realm?!"

"The Enlightenment Realm?!"

Their expressions changed, their eyes met, and they exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Then, Xie Xuan's lips curled up: "Instead of waiting for Lu Kui, you, this big fish, have come instead. I am truly delighted. Your name is Chen Lang, right? The Canglang Gang has kept you well hidden!"

'

Chen Feng remained silent, watching his opponent warily. From the brief exchange just now, he could clearly sense the opponent's strength.

He must have honed his skills for a long time in the Enlightenment Realm, opening countless acupoints, making his leg techniques incredibly powerful.

If it weren't for the protection of his inner energy, that kick would have broken his sword.

Chen Feng had investigated the two leaders of the Cao Gang in Feiyu Ferry. One was Xie Xuan, a veteran master of the Qi Opening Realm, skilled in leg techniques; the other was Yan Lie, a newcomer to the Qi Opening Realm, skilled in sword techniques.

The person in front of me must be Xie Xuan.

Somewhat tricky.

"Throw away your sword and surrender, or I'll send your brother on his way," Xie Xuan threatened, stepping on Ge Shan.

Chen Feng scoffed: "You arrested him, why should I surrender?"

After saying that, Chen Feng turned and ran.

His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, and he instantly darted several meters away.

Xie Xuan: "

Ge Shan: "

'

"They...they ran away?" Xie Xuan was completely astonished.

Chen Feng didn't look back, but charged forward headfirst, looking like he was only concerned with escaping.

This was a way of forcing Xie Xuan to abandon Ge Shan and chase after him. He believed that Xie Xuan would never let him escape, and that killing him was far more important than killing Ge Shan.

This was a last resort; Xie Xuan only needed to exert a little force and Ge Shan would surely die. Chen Feng had no chance of saving him.

If Ge Shan were to fight Xie Xuan directly, the aftershocks of a battle between two Qi Opening Realm cultivators would be far beyond what he, a man on the verge of death, could withstand. A slight misstep could mean certain death.

The only hope is that Xie Xuan wants to capture Ge Shan alive and extract information from him.

Having only been here a few days, his understanding of the various branches of the Canglang Gang in Feiyu Ferry was far less than that of Ge Shan, who had been stationed there for a long time.

The Canal Gang had spies in Feiyu Ferry, so it's impossible they didn't know this.

As long as Geshan has value, it can survive.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng's legs almost left afterimages as he ran.

Before Xie Xuan's astonishment had faded, Chen Feng was about to disappear from sight in the blink of an eye.

"Kill one, make one profit!" Ge Shan on the ground laughed wildly.

"Tch." Xie Xuan squeezed out a short tsk between his teeth, looking coldly at Ge Shan.

Just as Chen Feng had predicted.

Xie Xuan was greedy enough that he ultimately didn't kill Ge Shan, only kicking him unconscious before setting off to chase after Chen Feng.

Two dark figures darted swiftly through the woods.

Chen Feng leaped and darted like an antelope, while Xie Xuan sprinted along the ground like a cheetah, relentlessly pursuing his prey.

The gust of wind created by their rapid running rustled through the layers of branches and leaves.

Chen Feng lightly touched the overgrown tree roots with his toes, his figure darting through the dense forest like a startled bird.

However, the footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer, and the distance between them was not increasing, but rather decreasing.

"You think you can outrun me? What if I give you a few breaths' head start?" A mocking voice rang out behind Chen Feng.

Xie Xuan specialized in leg techniques, his steps were swift and agile, and he moved through the forest as if on flat ground, quickly erasing the distance Chen Feng had created.

"Haha! Die!"

Xie Xuan burst into laughter, his pace quickened abruptly, and he leaped into the air like a thunderbolt.

The leg shadow swept across the air, as fast as a long whip, lashing fiercely at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng felt a strong gust of wind rushing from behind him. He was startled and quickly ducked down, rolling forward as he did so.

It landed with one hand on the ground, its fingertips sinking into the damp, decaying leaves, barely managing to avoid injury.

A muffled "boom" was heard.

At Chen Feng's original spot, the trunk of an old tree was smashed by Xie Xuan's kick, causing the tree crown to tremble violently and leaves to fall in a flurry.

A deep dent was smashed into the thick tree trunk, splinters of wood flew everywhere, and the entire tree was about to crash down.

"It was a deadly move right from the start, but luckily I reacted quickly—" Chen Feng quickly got up and adjusted his posture.

He suddenly drew his long sword from his waist, his gaze fixed intently on Xie Xuan, his fighting spirit palpable.

"Why aren't you running anymore?" Xie Xuan approached step by step, a cruel smile on his face.

"I don't need to run away to deal with you."

Chen Feng smiled slightly, remaining calm. He was far enough away that he didn't need to worry about affecting the wounded, so he could act with peace of mind.

more importantly.

There were only the two of them here, so they could fight freely. As long as they could pin Xie Xuan down, they wouldn't have to worry about their identities being exposed.
