Divine Throne of Primordial Blood - Volume 3 - Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Hunt

After concealing himself, Su Chen’s Whitetower Teleportation sent him in the direction of the Southern Mountains .

He was very clear that these Bloodline Nobility Clan individuals wouldn’t let him get into the city easily, and even if he could get in it wouldn’t do him much good – An Siyuan wasn’t in the city, and Lu Qingguang might not be willing to help him (or at the very least wouldn’t put much effort into it) .

If he went into the city, he would be like a bird trapped in a cage .

Since this was the case, then why not play around with this group of people for a bit? Even though the situation had occurred quite suddenly, Su Chen had been waiting for this moment for a number of years and was well-prepared .

Su Chen dove right into the forest, his figure as quick as the wind .

He hadn’t run far when he heard the sound of pursuers on his tail . Most frustratingly, the sounds of dogs barking could be heard mixed in to the crowd .

Darkness Concealment didn’t actually cause an object to disappear, and there were many ways to neutralize it . The easiest way was just to use dogs .

Shorttailed Foxhounds were mid-tier Vicious Beasts with extremely sharp noses and powerful pursuing abilities .

During the course of their standoff these past few years, Su Chen’s Shadow Servants were no longer really a secret, so the Bloodline Nobility Clans had prepared a group of foxhounds to counter them . However, everyone had treated this as a reserve method; no one had expected that Su Chen would actually be able to escape from a Light Shaking Realm cultivator’s attack .

Su Chen knew that it was impossible to continue relying on Shadow Concealment, so he dispelled it to conserve Shadow Substance and continued to sprint through the forest .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless figures whizzed through the forests . The Origin Qi Scholars were sprinting at top speed .

The reward of a hundred thousand Origin Stones was enough to arouse the flames of desire in many of their hearts . This fortune was going to be theirs!

The Light Shaking Realm cultivator floating in the air descended at this moment . “Peiyuan!”

“Father . ” A male with a black beard appeared . It was the Wang Clan’s Elder, Wang Peiyuan .

The Light Shaking Realm cultivator in front of him was Wang Peiyuan’s Father, Clan Leader Wang Zhanyu .

Wang Zhanyu said, “Tell everyone to surround the Southern Mountains and block every exit, and send some more groups of people into the mountain to hunt for him . ”

“Yes!”

Wang Zhanyu turned around to leave .

“Father, are you not going to participate?” Wang Peiyuan asked with some surprise .

Wang Zhanyu harrumphed, “I’ve already put out a reward . Why should I participate? To compete with them for the reward? Or to help put the reward into their hands?”

Wang Peiyuan was surprised for a moment, but it made sense when he thought about it .

Since the reward was already announced, if Wang Zhanyu continued to participate and took it for himself, it would leave behind the impression that he reneged on debts .

The Bloodline Nobility Clans weren’t afraid of being mocked, but being mocked for reneging on a debt was too low and humiliating, and they could not tolerate it .

“But Su Chen is extremely cunning; if he escapes again……” Wang Peiyuan said carefully .

“That’s why you’ll need to hem him in tightly . He’s all alone – can you really not deal with him with so many people? Or do I always need to resolve things for you?” Wang Zhanyu’s tone had become extremely unhappy at this point .

As the ancestor of the Wang Clan, he should have been respected by those underneath him, and any matters that arose should have been taken care of by his disciples . His being asked to personally make a move to resolve a problem for the clan was already making him quite unhappy . In addition, his opponent was only a Blood Boiling Realm cultivator, and he had a staggeringly great advantage .

As such, this clan patriarch had no desire to make another move now that he couldn’t find Su Chen after making this attack .

In fact, the real reason was that he had unleashed nearly ten palm strikes aimed at the surroundings of the Soaring Pavilion, flattening an area nearly a thousand feet wide . It was quite pleasurable and it fully demonstrated his strength, but he had also expended a significant amount of Origin Energy . The old man didn’t want to flip his boat with his own fishing hook, so he could only put on these airs . When his energy had recovered, it wouldn’t be too late for him to make a move if those useless subordinates of his hadn’t finished Su Chen off yet .

When he heard this, Wang Peiyuan didn’t dare push the issue . He lowered his head and agreed .

As he watched Wang Zhanyu leave, Wang Peiyuan said, “Tell everyone to bring out their full strength here . Su Chen has already been forced into the mountain and must be exterminated . If we miss this opportunity, we might not ever get another one . ”

————————————————

Su Chen also heard what Wang Zhanyu had yelled .

This yell didn’t make him anxious, however; in fact, his heart relaxed a bit, because this implied that Wang Zhanyu wouldn’t participate himself .

Su Chen popped his head out of the foilage to take a look and discovered that the Light Shaking Realm cultivator had indeed disappeared .

The lion was gone, but the wolves were still prowling in search of him .

Su Chen glanced behind him and chuckled coldly, slowing down intentionally . Without the Light Shaking Realm cultivator here, he was not afraid of those people .

“Catch him! Don’t let him get away!”

“Keep chasing!”

Amidst the loud yells, a few of the faster Origin Qi Scholars had already caught up .

One of the Origin Qi Scholars, upon seeing that Su Chen was close, raised his hand and unleashed a streak of black light .

The light shot straight at Su Chen’s back . Just as it was about to hit him, Su Chen suddenly leapt into the air, slashing behind him with his blade and creating a streak of light of his own .

Two more Origin Qi Scholars behind him also charged forward together, creating a brilliant display of light with their blade strikes .

A massive wave of flames rose and rushed forward to intercept them .

The two of them thought that it was just a regular fire-type Origin Skill and didn’t pay it much thought, only raising a magic barrier in response . However, they soon noticed that the flames had a faint dark tinge to them . In the blink of an eye, the flames had morphed into a massive humanoid figure that stretched its arms out, threatening to envelop them .

The two Origin Qi Scholars were simultaneously grabbed by the Shadow Flame Giant and burned alive . No matter how they struggled, they were unable to escape .

Their Origin Energy barriers groaned under the furious onslaught of the shadowy flames, flickering and deforming before finally shattering with a “bang” .

The two Origin Qi Scholars were incinerated, as if they had been dropped into molten lava . The two of them were only Blood Boiling Realm cultivators and didn’t place much focus on tempering their bodies . Their bodies had never reached the point of being as hard as metal, so their skin only resisted for a brief moment before they began to disintegrate at a frightening pace . They shrieked and howled as they struggled, but they couldn’t escape no matter what they did and were burned to ashes .

These two had died in an extremely tragic manner, but it wasn’t enough to scare the other Origin Qi Scholars into retreating .

Most of them continued to yell loudly as they advanced .

“Men really do die for wealth!” Su Chen laughed coldly as he turned around and continued to run .

Even though Su Chen’s Snaking Mist Steps were fast, there were quite a few people who were adept in speed . Very quickly, two new individuals caught up .

“Where are you trying to run?” the two of them yelled as they attacked simultaneously .

This time, they had learned their lesson . They weren’t in a hurry to try and kill Su Chen; instead, they launched attacks at him from far away as bait, waiting for the people behind them to catch up so they could take him on all together .

However, they had just unleashed their attacks when they saw Su Chen’s figure suddenly disappear .

Where did he go?

The two of them glanced around in all directions .

“Behind you!”

A few Origin Qi Scholars catching up called out in warning .

They turned around in shock, only to be met with Su Chen’s calm, calculating expression .

“Armor-Piercing Awl!”

Su Chen’s fists blew right through their throats, causing flesh and blood to spray everywhere .

Su Chen continued to charge forward, leaving behind the two corpses . He covered a few hundred meters in the span of a few seconds, then disappeared from view .

The ones who were at the front were the fastest . When these guys were finished off, it would be much harder for the Origin Qi Scholars behind to catch up to him .

One of the Origin Qi Scholars who was chasing from behind reached their corpses, took a look, and stomped angrily as he said, “Put the Yang Opening Realm cultivators at the front . Every Yang Opening Realm cultivator shall take two Blood Boiling Realm cultivators, for Qi Drawing Realm cultivators, and ten martial artists . Each team will advance separately to hem him in and make sure that no person gets picked off individually . As long as he isn’t able to escape from the Southern Mountains, this place will become his grave sooner or later!”
