Chapter 1858: Chapter 1855: Battle with Baili Da!
“Boom boom bang!”
“Boom boom bang!”
After this fierce impact, Li Chen and Baili Da both retreated almost simultaneously.
This left Baili Da greatly shocked.
He must know that he is an old Golden Core Cultivator.
While the other party is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The gap between them, a full major realm apart.
Yet, unexpectedly, he was able to make it a draw with him.
Even though he saw it with his own eyes and went through it himself, Baili Da still found it hard to believe?
At the same time, Li Chen realized the old fellow in front of him was a very troublesome character.
He scanned the surroundings with the corner of his eye.
Seeing Zuo Qian, Jianyang, Zhao Qinglan, and the chubby Hong Tao had all left safely, he felt slightly reassured.
Baili Da looked at Li Chen with some dread, then immediately waved his hands to the sides and ordered: “Get him! Catch him!”
A minor leader raised his long sword, slashing it toward Li Chen.
With the slash of this sword, it caused the air to explode with a sharp tearing sound.
Li Chen’s pupils squinted slightly, like an eagle locking onto its prey.
As the Sword Light fell, he suddenly threw a punch, directly meeting it.
“Crack!”
A crisp sound of metal breaking echoed in the air!
“Ah!”
Followed by a piercing shriek of agony.
The unfortunate guard leader’s long sword was shattered.
Even his chest revealed a gaping blood hole, gruesome to behold.
After finish off the unlucky guard, taking advantage of the other guards being stunned, Li Chen quickly leaped up, his fists hammering swiftly like twin dragons playing with pearls.
“Splat!”
“Splat!”
These two unfortunate fellows didn’t even react before their heads were blown into pulp.
Immediately, Li Chen didn’t linger, flipping agilely in the air, fleeing toward the depths of the forest.
Seeing the bodies scattered everywhere, Baili Youu and Baili Da were furious.
“Chase them, don’t let them escape!”
With Baili Youu’s beast-like, hysterical roar, hundreds of guards drew their Divine Weapons, swarming forth.
After that battle, the group of six were all injured in varying degrees.
Logically, Li Chen should have been the most injured.
However, Li Chen’s body has a freakishly strong self-healing ability.
In just 15 minutes, he had almost recovered completely.
Aside from his attire being a bit shabby, making him look slightly disheveled, no one could tell he had been injured just now.
This surprised Jianyang, Zuo Qian, Zhao Qinglan, Hong Tao, and Ye Yu.
“Mr. Li, you’re truly a prodigy, not only possessing immense strength but your body’s self-healing ability is also defying the heavens!”
Always proud Jianyang was convinced by Li Chen’s prodigious skills, now calling him Mr. Li.
The others were also amazed.
Just then, a sudden shuffle of footsteps sounded from behind.
Zuo Qian frowned slightly and said, “Damn it, it must be Baili Youu catching up again!”
Because Baili Youu injured Ye Yu, chubby Hong Tao now bore deep grudge against him.
He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth and said, “That guy is too detestable, I’m going out to kill him!”
He said this as he made to rush outward.
However, after taking a few steps, he stopped, looking at Li Chen, Jianyang in surprise.
Though he didn’t say anything, his face clearly expressed: Hey, why aren’t you guys stopping me?
Ye Yu rolled his eyes at Hong Tao and said, “Can you even handle Baili Youu? Are you going out to fight him?”
Hearing Ye Yu’s words, Hong Tao sheepishly scratched his head.
“No, but for you, even if I can’t beat him, I’ll fight him!”
When he said this last line, Hong Tao’s expression was very sincere.
Li Chen saw this and quickly eased, saying, “This cave is fairly hidden; they won’t find us right away. Our priority now is to heal and rest. Once we’re better, we’ll think of a way to leave!”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Jianyang, Zuo Qian, Zhao Qinglan, Ye Yu all nodded in agreement.
Li Chen looked out of the cave and said, “I’ll keep watch outside, you focus on healing!”
Zhao Qinglan spoke quickly, “Brother Li Chen, I’ll go with you!”
Li Chen waved his hand, directly refusing, “No need, you should rest well; I can handle it alone!”
Hearing Li Chen’s firm refusal, Zhao Qinglan didn’t insist further, nodding somewhat dejectedly.
“Search, they’re injured and couldn’t have gotten far, just around here!”
Baili Youu yelled furiously after surveying the surroundings.
“Young master, there’s a bloodstain here, surely left by them. If we use the Path-finding Monkeys, we can definitely find their hideout!”
A guard pointed at the bloodstain and spoke to Baili Youu.
Baili Youu’s expression turned joyful and said, “Yes, use the Path-finding Monkeys. I almost forgot about them!”
Then he ordered his men to bring three Path-finding Monkeys.
Path-finding Monkeys look very similar to Malaysian monkeys, with long tails and noses. Their attack power is weak but they’re skilled in climbing, tracking, working similarly to hunting dogs.
After those three Path-finding Monkeys sniffed the blood stain carefully, they ran off toward the Northeast direction.
Seeing this, Baili Youu immediately ordered his guards to follow.
Hiding in the shadows, Li Chen was alarmed seeing this scene.
Apparently, within an hour, they’ll find Jianyang, Zuo Qian, and the others’ hideout.
No, he must think of a way to divert them.
With this thought, seeing pebbles on the ground, Li Chen picked them up casually.
Then, with full strength, he threw the stones at the Path-finding Monkeys.
“Awoo!”
“Awoo!”
“Awoo!”
All three Path-finding Monkeys’ heads were blown open, dying on the spot.
White brain matter and fresh blood mixed together, splattering the guards’ faces.
The guards were shocked, ignoring the blood on their faces and immediately drew their swords to look around.
Seeing his plan succeed, Li Chen leaped out, like an agile monkey, ran toward the stream.
Baili Da was the first to spot Li Chen and urgently shouted, “Quick, he’s there!”
With his shout, dozens of guards wielding gleaming swords quickly pursued in the direction of Li Chen’s escape.
