"It's already quite fast!"

Meng Chong turned his head and was instantly shocked. The speed of this Grandmaster was truly impressive!

He took out a rope and directly tied Meng Shushu to his back, freeing his hand from grabbing his collar.

In the Qiao Acupoint of the Great Sun Golden Body, strands of knife intent poured into the knife from his hand.

"Chop!"

He suddenly turned around and slashed with a knife.

The terrifying blade light traversed the sky, directly attacking the Grandmaster in black robes.

This knife was the knife intent that Meng Chong had nurtured in his acupoints for some time, merging together.

However, due to the short nurturing time, this knife did not possess the power to threaten the Grandmaster.

It just served as a slight obstruction!

Therefore, after Meng Chong slashed with a knife, he swiftly fled, displaying the Furious Thunder Sky Technique to the extreme, increasing the distance from the Grandmaster.

"Hu Shan or Xie Lingfeng, if you release Meng Shushu, I will spare your life!"

Came the voice of the Grandmaster in black robes from behind.

"Ridiculous! I, Hu Shan of the Sword Sovereign Cliff, would never abandon a friend."

Meng Chong coldly snorted.

"In that case, let's see how long you can escape!"

The Grandmaster in black robes crazily pursued.

The distance slowly closed again.

Boom!

Another blade aura struck.

"Our own, quickly block it!"

Meng Chong continued to flee, while Meng Shushu hanging on his back was almost spitting blood!

Again?

"Kill!"

He could only desperately strike back, blocking the remaining momentum of the Grandmaster.

Puff!

Another mouthful of blood sprayed out.

"Meng brother, I can't hold on much longer!"

Meng Shushu's face was pale.

Due to the distance being too far, the power of the Grandmaster's blow was almost gone.

However, it was still the power of the Grandmaster. Even though he blocked it, he still received a heavy blow, aggravating his injuries.

"Don't panic!"

Meng Chong took out a pill, "Open your mouth!"

Meng Shushu could only grimace and swallow the pill.

It had to be said, this healing pill was extraordinary. Meng Shushu immediately felt much better.

"Our own, you owe me another eighteen stalks of sixth-grade spirit herbs."

Meng Chong said as he fled.

With one chase and one escape, nearly half a day passed. The Grandmaster in black robes attacked five times, and Meng Shushu blocked the aftermath each time. However, even with the healing pill, his injuries remained unrecovered.

"I can't hold on much longer!"

Meng Shushu's face was pale.

"There's a city ahead!"

Meng Chong's eyes lit up, and he rushed into the city, intending to take advantage of the dense population to evade the pursuit of the Grandmaster!

However, the Grandmaster in black robes coldly said, "Listen, Masters in the city, I'm here to kill. If you don't lend a hand, don't blame me for harming the innocent!"

A Grandmaster could ignore any rules of the city!

With these words, the martial arts practitioners in the city were instantly shocked and panicked, flying up into the air and attacking Meng Chong.

Meng Chong's face turned dark. Wasn't the Grandmaster impressive?

"How dare you! I am Xie Lingfeng of the Sword Sovereign Cliff. Are you not afraid of me, Xie Lingfeng?"

In this critical moment, Meng Chong roared.

The martial arts practitioners who were attacking were instantly shocked, halting their movements.

They were greatly terrified.

Xie Lingfeng of the Sword Sovereign Cliff?

Who was that? How dare he chase and kill the pride of the Sword Sovereign Cliff, and moreover, Xie Tianheng's only son! Even if the opponent was a Grandmaster, it would undoubtedly be a death sentence!

In this hesitation, Meng Chong dashed through several streets, putting some distance between himself and the Grandmaster, then soared into the air, fleeing towards the outskirts of the city.

If he stayed in the city, it would definitely involve innocent people. That Grandmaster was obviously ruthless. As soon as he fled, a tavern behind him collapsed with a single blow.

"You can't escape!"

The Grandmaster in black robes was furious, continuing the pursuit.

Meng Chong continued to flee, cursing, "I don't believe I can't outlast you!"

Meng Shushu gasped for breath, saying, "I can't last much longer!"

This human shield was too miserable!

"Don't panic, here, take a pill!"

Meng Chong fed him another pill.

"Meng brother, take the Earth Spirit Root. Otherwise, you might not be able to outlast the Grandmaster!"

After taking the pill and recovering some strength, Meng Shushu reminded him.

Meng Chong's eyes lit up, carefully took out an Earth Spirit Root, broke off a piece, and directly stuffed it into his mouth. Instantly, a rich spiritual energy poured into his body.

The power of the Earth Spirit Root was gentle and long-lasting. In an instant, Meng Chong felt that the acupoints of his Golden Body were all activated.

"Our own, eat it quickly!"

He stuffed the remaining half of the Earth Spirit Root into Meng Shushu's mouth.

Meng Shushu couldn't die. If he died, wouldn't it be for naught?

Meng Chong had already seen the value of a spy for exploring herbs.

With Meng Shushu, the probability of obtaining rare spiritual herbs would greatly increase.

"Meng Shushu, I want to see how long you can hold on!"

The Grandmaster suddenly burst forth, closing the distance, and slashed out once again.

Meng Shushu had become very proficient, roaring with all his might, and exerted all his strength to block the aftermath of this blow.

Cough!

Another impact hit him, undoing the slight recovery of his injuries.

Luckily, Meng Chong used this opportunity to widen the gap once again.

"Our own, there's a large city ahead, should we go and hide?"

Meng Chong asked with a furrowed brow.

"A large city? If there's a Grandmaster presiding, we might as well give it a try!"

Meng Shushu replied.

"Such a large city should indeed have a Grandmaster presiding, right?"

Meng Chong's speed increased greatly, descending from the sky into the city.

"Who dares to act recklessly and ignore the rules…"

Suddenly, a furious voice echoed from the city.

A terrifying aura rose.

A Grandmaster powerhouse.

"I am Hu Shan of the Sword Sovereign Cliff. Due to necessity, I couldn't inform you in advance, my apologies!"

Meng Chong cupped his hands.

The imposing Grandmaster was momentarily stunned, his aura subsiding.

Hu Shan of the Sword Sovereign Cliff?

In an instant, he saw the Grandmaster in black robes.

His gaze sharpened. Who was this Grandmaster, daring to chase and kill Hu Shan of the Sword Sovereign Cliff!

"Sir, please refrain from interfering!"

The Grandmaster in black robes coldly said, then directly entered the city, continuing to chase Meng Chong.

"Listen up, stop the bald-headed man in the east of the city!"

The man in black robes suddenly ordered.

Meng Chong's face slightly changed. There were people from the other side's faction in the city.

As expected, two figures came to kill, both martial arts Masters.

"Not good!"

Meng Chong's face changed. Apart from the martial arts Masters, there was also a semi-Grandmaster intercepting him.

It was not suitable to stay here for long!

Once obstructed, the Grandmaster would catch up, and then it would be troublesome.

"Get lost!"

Meng Chong turned around and fled in another direction, directly killing the Master who blocked his way with a slash. His body shimmered with golden light as he soared into the air, not lingering in the city, and fleeing away.

At this moment, he pushed the Furious Thunder Sky Technique to the extreme, and the aura of the Great Sun Golden Body surged. Within his Golden Body acupoints, there appeared vortex-like energies.

At a certain moment, Meng Chong's speed suddenly increased.

The Furious Thunder Sky Technique broke through to a small achievement!

With increased speed, he widened the distance from the Grandmaster. However, the Grandmaster still pursued relentlessly, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

"Persistent!"

Meng Chong cursed under his breath, glancing back. The Grandmaster actually took out a spirit pill and swallowed it to replenish his consumption.

"Let's see who can last longer!"

Meng Chong took out an Earth Spirit Root and directly ingested it.

Boom!

The Great Sun Golden Body circulated, refining the spiritual pill, while also impacting the Golden Body acupoints, opening up the fourth acupoint.

One chase, one escape, three days passed.

The man in black robes still persisted, relentlessly pursuing, showing no intention of giving up.

And news of the Grandmaster chasing Xie Lingfeng began to spread.

Shortly after, a correction was made in the news, stating that the Grandmaster was chasing Hu Shan of the Sword Sovereign Cliff!

"Chasing, huh? Let's see how long you can chase!"

Meng Chong grumbled.

He ate another Earth Spirit Root. With the Great Sun Golden Body close to completion, the Grandmaster couldn't close the distance. He didn't need to block the aftermath of attacks, and his injuries were gradually recovering.

However, he still felt uneasy.

The man in black robes persisted in chasing. Meng Chong impersonating Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan had probably spread. Once the experts from the Sword Sovereign Cliff received the news, they would probably come seeking an explanation.

At that time, being attacked from both sides would be disastrous!

"Our own, I'm risking my life for you. I've already eaten four Earth Spirit Roots. It's a big loss."

Meng Chong said.

If he brought them back for his junior sister to refine pills, wouldn't their effects be much more than this?

The more he thought about it, the more distressed Meng Chong felt.

一 total of eight Earth Spirit Roots, and he had already eaten half of them in one go.

The only thing worth celebrating was that he was about to break through to the small achievement of the Great Sun Golden Body.

"Meng Xiong, no need to thank me for my great kindness!"

Meng Shushu clasped his fists.

He already owed Meng Chong his life, so owing him a little more wasn't a big deal.

"Our own, you should strive harder from now on. Explore more spiritual medicines, gather more rare herbs, and try to buy a storage bag for me as soon as possible.

"You can't slack off anymore. Otherwise, can you justify the life-saving favor I've done for you?"

Meng Chong rambled on.

Meng Shushu was dumbfounded. How could this reckless guy be so talkative?

He kept repeating himself, urging him to strive harder, gather rare herbs, and buy him a storage bag...

His mind was filled with voices urging him to strive harder...

"Meng Xiong, rest assured, I will work diligently and strive hard to buy you a storage bag as soon as possible!"

Meng Shushu solemnly promised.

"Good, our own brother has ambition, I believe in you!"

Meng Chong was overjoyed.

Boom!

At a certain moment, the Great Sun Golden Body broke through.

With the Great Sun Golden Body breaking through to a small achievement, Meng Chong abruptly stopped, turned back to look at the Grandmaster chasing him, and his body shone with golden light as he suddenly swelled in size.

That terrifying aura made Meng Shushu's heart tremble!

"Chop!"

Meng Chong slashed out, this was his sword strike after breaking through to the small achievement of the Great Sun Golden Body.

Boom!

A tyrannical strike traversed the sky, directly aimed at the man in black robes!

"I won't spare you, I will kill you for sure!"

After blocking this strike, the man in black robes felt a chill in his heart. The opponent's strength had increased so much.

This was a big problem. If the opponent's strength continued to increase, even he, a Grandmaster, would be in danger.

"Grandmaster, indeed difficult to kill!"

Meng Chong sighed.

Even with his breakthrough to the small achievement of the Great Sun Golden Body and using all his strength, he still couldn't harm the Grandmaster.

Meng Shushu rolled his eyes. Did he really think that a Grandmaster was like a cabbage that could be chopped with one strike?

Meng Chong continued to flee.

"To kill him, I need to achieve full mastery of the Great Sun Golden Body. But it's impossible to achieve that in a short time."

Meng Chong frowned.

Even if he consumed all the spiritual medicines on him, he still couldn't achieve full mastery of the Great Sun Golden Body.

Should he just continue to endure?

Delaying might lead to unforeseen changes!

"I wonder where Senior Brother is."

Meng Chong felt helpless.

He thought of Senior Brother Xu Yan. If they joined forces, they should be able to deal with the Grandmaster chasing them from behind.

"If Senior Brother achieves full mastery of the Profound Realm, he should be able to kill the Grandmaster."

He felt a headache coming on.

"Should I go find Xie Lingfeng?"

Meng Chong thought of Xie Lingfeng. If he went to the Sword Sovereign Cliff to find Xie Lingfeng, could he break free?

"Let's continue enduring, and see how things turn out. If necessary, then go to the Sword Sovereign Cliff?"

"No, I used Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan's names. If the Sword Sovereign Cliff finds out, they will come looking for me. And if Xie Lingfeng finds out, he will probably suspect me."

With this thought, Meng Chong continued to flee, determined to outlast his pursuers!

"Who exactly are the enemies of Junior Sister? There's not just one Grandmaster, there might even be more Grandmaster powerhouses."

Meng Chong was secretly shocked.

No wonder Junior Sister had to hide in the remote borderlands.

The enemies were just too powerful.

"Meng Xiong, what if another Grandmaster comes after us?"

Meng Shushu asked anxiously.

The man in black robes was relentless, and it seemed he wouldn't stop until they were dead.

And there might be more than one Grandmaster from their faction.

Meng Chong felt too powerful. Since he had already offended them, they would definitely try everything to kill him, or else it would be a great danger.

So, it was not impossible for another Grandmaster to come!

"If necessary, we'll go to the Sword Sovereign Cliff!"

Meng Chong gritted his teeth.

"But the Sword Sovereign Cliff is too far from here!"

Meng Shushu said helplessly.

"Then back to the Great Yue Kingdom!"

Meng Chong said solemnly.

If they couldn't shake off their pursuers, or if another Grandmaster came after them, they could only retreat to Yunshan County.

With Master's strength, no matter how many Grandmasters came, they would surely die!

As long as he killed them all cleanly, no one would know that he had escaped to the borderlands.

Meng Chong thought to himself.

...

Xu Yan learned that Meng Chong was being chased by a Grandmaster and was furious. He didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed towards the Yan Kingdom border.

Arriving at a large city, he descended with a powerful momentum, frightening the Grandmasters in the city, who pretended not to see anyone breaking the rules.

That young man's aura was quite dangerous!

Xu Yan presented the jade pendant given to him by the girl in white at the Tianbao Pavilion and obtained the latest information.

After receiving the intelligence, he soared into the air and headed in the direction indicated by the Tianbao Pavilion, where Meng Chong was fleeing.

Along the way, he found no trace of Meng Chong.

He started to feel anxious.

In front of a small city, he immediately entered the Tianbao Pavilion in the city, used the jade pendant to obtain information, and learned that Meng Chong had left a certain large city. According to speculation, he was heading towards the Great Yue Kingdom.

"I can obtain information about my junior brother's approximate direction of escape, and the enemy can also obtain it!"

With this thought, Xu Yan's face changed slightly, becoming even more urgent.

Just as he was about to leave the small city, a falcon descended.

The falcon from the Sword Sovereign Cliff!

Xu Yan took the letter, quickly scanned it, looked in a certain direction, and with a flash, disappeared from the spot.

"My junior brother is fleeing in this direction. The difference shouldn't be too great. The Grandmaster's powerful aura should be easy to sense."

Standing on a high peak, Xu Yan looked around.

Suddenly, a faint golden light flew across the sky in the distance.

"Junior Brother!"

Xu Yan was overjoyed and stepped out, disappearing from the spot, directly flying up to meet him.
