Chapter 467: Take Off Your Clothes!
The figure in black had already been gnawed away at until only a pile of white bones remained. However, his miserable shrieking still seemed to echo in their ears, making them feel goosebumps all over.
The Nether Blood Ants moved their wings and a terrifying buzzing could be heard. Just like a fiery ghostly mist, they flew over in the direction of Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen.
“We need to leave.” Ling Chuxi knew that once they were surrounded, even their Battle Qi in the realm of Great Fulfilment was of no use. Otherwise, those other people would not have been so fearful until such an extent. Therefore, she increased her pace.
“Help, help!” howled Jiang Wuhen in a panic as he followed after them, scrambling and crawling as he did. With his level of cultivation and his injuries, how could he possibly keep up with Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen’s footsteps?
Ling Chuxi hesitated for a moment, then turned back and took a few steps towards Jiang Wuhen before grabbing him by the collar and turning around to run forward again.
Hearing the buzzing behind him, Jiang Wuhen had long since been shocked to the point where he felt his soul had left his body. Once Chuxi grabbed him and ran, he originally started dancing in delight at this chance of escape, but after a slap from Ling Chuxi across his face, he quietened down.
The Nether Blood Ants flew very fast. It was like a ghostly fire was flying through the forest, closely following Ling Chuxi, Ling Yichen and Jiang Wuhen. Though both Lings released their strong and fierce Battle Qi in the direction of the Nether Blood Ants, it was still unable to create any major damage to the thousands and tens of thousands of life-threatening carnivorous ants. At most, it only delayed and slowed their speed slightly. Any slight carelessness could end with them being surrounded by these deadly ants.
Thinking about the terrible situation they were in now, the two Lings did not dare to be careless. They kept releasing Battle Qi while running forward as fast as they possibly could.
The sky slowly turned bright and the buzzing sounds behind them also softened slightly. It was a really good thing that although the Nether Blood Ants were very amazingly deadly, they only had a lifespan lasting a few hours after maturing. With all this long haul flying they were doing, they dropped dead.
Finally, as though under the power of a life-shortening talisman, the buzzing could no longer be heard. Ling Chuxi, Ling Yichen and Jiang Wuhen stopped running and panted heavily. Even with the cultivation level both the Lings had, they were still a little exhausted after using all their strength to use their Battle Qi to run for so many hours.
Ling Chuxi released her grip off Jiang Wuhen and he crumbled to the ground. His face was pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Obviously, the palm attack he took earlier on was not light at all.
After Ling Chuxi took a few deep breaths to stabilize her breathing, she swept a glance at Jiang Wuhen and narrowed her eyes slightly.
“Take off your clothes,” said Ling Chuxi to Jiang Wuhen.
“What?” exclaimed Jiang Wuhen as he looked at Ling Chuxi in surprise.
“Take off your clothes,” repeated Ling Chuxi.
“This… Isn’t this a little too fast? I acknowledge that I am the most handsome, dashing, suave man that everyone who sees loves and every flower who encounters bloom, but still, we’ve only known each other for such a short period of time. I have not made any proper preparations in my heart… Furthermore, there are even outsiders around,” sputtered Jiang Wuhen as his face reddened.
The corner of Ling Yichen’s lips started to twitch and his face darkened. He had the urge to chop Jiang Wuhen to death again.
Ling Chuxi did not say a word as she kicked Jiang Wuhen till he flipped over and landed flat on the ground. The sword in her hand flashed as she cut off his clothes. There was a visible palm print which had already turned deep brown on Jiang Wuhen’s back.
Ling Chuxi could not help but be a little shocked. Just now, those people had mainly placed their focus on Ling Yichen and the palm attack against Jiang Wuhen was not one using full force. However, given that the attackers cultivation was who knows how many times stronger than Jiang Wuhen’s, the fact that this palm attack did not kill Jiang Wuhen was truly a miracle. This cheat had a really tenacious vitality. However, when she thought back to when Jiang Wuhen was running away and resembling a mouse crossing the street being shouted at and beaten by everyone, Ling Chuxi felt that it was understandable. No matter who it was, living in such a desperate situation until now, that person’s vitality will be as strong as a cockroach.
However, even if his vitality was stronger than a cockroach’s, if he was not treated quickly, death would be the only path left for him. And even if he somehow didn’t die, he would be riddled with the torture of his injuries and be in pain for the rest of his life.
