The sudden change was beyond everyone's expectations. Then, they saw a green light appear in front of Ling Fei. Then, Ling Fei's neck was tightly gripped by a slender hand.
"You're not bad. You actually know my name." Looking at Ling Fei whose neck was tightly gripped, Zi Chen jokingly said.
Zi Chen didn't want to care about other people's matters. He didn't know Zhang Haotian, so he didn't want to get involved in this mess. However, he didn't expect Ling Fei to mention his name and want him to die. So, Zi Chen decided to take action.
"You Zi Chen."
With his neck gripped, fear flashed in his eyes. Ling Fei's face was completely red. It was unknown whether it was due to embarrassment or suffocation.
"Let go of young master Ling Fei."
"Zi Chen, let go of Ling Fei …"
Angry shouts sounded from all around. One by one, the experts abandoned Zhang Haotian and glared at Zi Chen.
"Do you think I'm an idiot? Let go of him."
Zi Chen said disdainfully, "If you have the ability, then come forward. I'm afraid that if my hand trembles, I'll hear the sound of a neck breaking."
Zi Chen's threatening words made everyone stop. If Ling Fei died, they couldn't bear the responsibility. They could only stand in the distance and glare at Zi Chen.
This was also Ling Fei's fault. He was afraid of Zhang Haotian's counterattack before he died, so he directly retreated to the back of the crowd. He never expected Zi Chen to come out from the side.
"You killed young master Ling Fei, so you will also die here." Tai Kai stepped forward and stared coldly at Zi Chen.
"Is that so? Then you can try. I guarantee that after Ling Fei dies, I can also slaughter you."
Zi Chen laughed sinisterly and increased the strength in his hand. Cracking sounds were heard. Ling Fei's face had turned red and his eyes were about to pop out. He was almost strangled to death.
"Okay, okay, don't move." Tai Kai took two steps back and said anxiously, "Let young master Ling Fei catch his breath first."
Zi Chen slowed down the strength in his hand. Ling Fei began to gasp for breath. There was still fear in his eyes. Just now, he really felt the arrival of death. That feeling was very uncomfortable.
"Zi Chen, let go of Ling Fei, or he will die."
Suddenly, Chen Qi appeared in front of Zhang Haotian. He grabbed him by the collar and placed his right hand on Zhang Haotian's forehead.
"Who is he?" Zi Chen was stunned.
"Uh …" Chen Qi was stunned and did not know how to answer.
"Hey, it's you."
Zhang Haotian's face was covered in blood, but his eyes were still as cold as ever. After taking a closer look, Zi Chen recognized him as the cold youth from before.
"Alright, since you know him, let's exchange." Chen Qi's eyes lit up.
"What's your name?" Zi Chen ignored Chen Qi and asked Zhang Haotian.
Chen Qi was stunned again. He thought to himself, 'What the hell are you doing? Do you know him or not? Why are you asking for his name?'
"His name is Zhang Haotian." The cold Zhang Haotian did not say a word, so Chen Qi answered on his behalf.
"Alright, you should be able to walk. Come with me." Zi Chen grabbed Ling Fei's neck and walked away.
"I don't need you to save me. I, Zhang Haotian, never owe anyone a favor." Zhang Haotian finally spoke. Even though he was extremely weak, his voice was still cold.
"Didn't you want to kill them? If they die, how can you kill them? Do you really believe in the afterlife?"
Zi Chen did not even turn his head as he indifferently said, "Besides, I'm not saving you. I just want to leave on my own. If you can follow me, that's your own good fortune. It has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Haotian did not speak, but his expression kept changing. He was obviously a little moved, but before he could take a step, Chen Qi grabbed him.
Zi Chen did not turn his head, but he used a lot of strength in his hand. The cracking sound was heard again. Ling Fei felt death approaching him again. When Zi Chen let go, he panted and shouted at Chen Qi, "Chen Qi, let him go. You're f * cking trying to kill me."
Ling Fei had been taken care of all along. He had never felt death. Today, he was caught by Zi Chen. Although he was angry and ashamed, compared to his life, everything was nothing. So, in order to survive, he did not hesitate to shout at Chen Qi.
Being shouted at by Ling Fei, Chen Qi's expression changed instantly, but he still obediently let go of Zhang Haotian, allowing him to walk towards Zi Chen step by step.
"You better not follow me, or my hand will shake. When I'm safe, I'll naturally let this trash go." Zi Chen said indifferently and walked towards the forest.
"Zi Chen, you better promise that what you said is true. Otherwise, you'll die miserably." Tai Kai said coldly.
"I promise he'll be fine. But if you follow, I can't guarantee it." Zi Chen was still indifferent.
Until the three disappeared into the forest, Tai Kai and the others did not take a step forward.
"What should we do?
Should we go find Senior Brother Ling Chen? "Chen Qi looked at Tai Kai.
"No need. Senior Brother Ling Chen is doing something important. We can't disturb him.
Besides, Zi Chen doesn't have the guts to kill Ling Fei. "Tai Kai shook his head and said.
In the forest, Zi Chen had already walked a few miles away. Moreover, he was sure that no one was chasing him.
"Alright, it's time to let me go," Ling Fei said coldly.
"A few more miles." Zi Chen was still indifferent.
Zhang Haotian followed behind him without a word. However, his steps were no longer firm.
After walking for less than a mile, Zi Chen stopped because he found that Zhang Haotian's steps had become weak.
"Hmph, he's about to die." Ling Fei sneered. Obviously, he had also noticed this.
"Scram." Zi Chen let go of Ling Fei and said indifferently.
"Hmph, you'll die in my hands sooner or later!"
Ling Fei wanted to say something ruthless before leaving. However, he suddenly screamed. His screams even covered the sound of bones breaking.
"Kacha." However, the second sound of bones breaking was very obvious.
Ling Fei fell to the ground. Both of his legs were broken by the extremely weak Zhang Haotian. The former was screaming while the latter was still cold.
"You!" Zi Chen looked at Zhang Haotian.
"This is the way to deal with this kind of scum."
Zhang Haotian said coldly. However, just as he finished speaking, his vision turned black and he fell down. He could not hold on any longer.
Zi Chen supported him and found that he was still breathing. He had just fainted. He immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Ignoring Ling Fei's screams, he carried Zhang Haotian and flew into the forest. His figure flashed a few times and Zi Chen's figure disappeared.
After a while, Tai Kai and the others followed the screams and arrived.
"Ling Fei, how are you?"
"Young Master Ling Fei, what happened to you …?"
Everyone arrived and asked about his well-being.
"Motherf * cker, can't you see that my leg is broken? Help me up carefully and go find my cousin. I want him to kill these two guys with his own hands." Ling Fei screamed and cursed as he was helped up by the crowd.
"That Zhang Haotian is seriously injured and unconscious. You guys go after him quickly. Even if you can't kill Zi Chen, killing Zhang Haotian is still good." Ling Fei screamed and did not forget about the seriously injured Zhang Haotian.
Everyone nodded in agreement. The team of dozens of people split into half. With Chen Qi leading the way, they chased after Zi Chen.
Dozens of miles away, Zi Chen put down Zhang Haotian.
First, he cleaned his wounds. Then, he found a spiritual medicine and crushed a few leaves to apply to the wounds. Then, he squeezed the remaining spiritual medicine into spiritual juice and dripped it into Zhang Haotian's mouth.
"Whether you can live or not depends on your luck."
Zi Chen was not good at saving people. He could not guarantee whether Zhang Haotian could live or not. Everything depended on luck.
Zhang Haotian was still unconscious. As time passed, the wounds on his body stopped bleeding. His breathing became even and his pale face gradually turned red.
"Hmm, very tenacious vitality." Zi Chen nodded secretly. He was full of praise for this cold and thoughtful young man.
At this moment, Zi Chen heard the sound of flying at high speed. The pursuers had arrived.
"You are seriously injured now. It's not good for you to walk around. I'll buy you some time." Zi Chen said indifferently and flew to the back.
After a few leaps, Zi Chen saw the people chasing after him. The one leading them was Chen Qi. After seeing Zi Chen appear, Chen Qi's expression changed slightly and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
But he quickly reacted and shouted coldly, "Kill, Zhang Haotian must be in front. I'll hold him back. You guys go around and kill Zhang Haotian."
"Hmph, shameless boasting. Since you're here, you might as well leave a memento."
Zi Chen snorted and used Misty Steps. At the same time, the eighth level of Zhen Qi in his body began to surge.
"What, you actually broke through?"
This time, Chen Qi's eyes were filled with shock. Zi Chen could seriously injure him when he was at the seventh level of Zhen Qi. His original intention was to hold Zi Chen back. But now, facing Zi Chen, who was at the eighth level of Zhen Qi, he had no other means.
Turning around, Chen Qi quickly ran. The only thing he was thankful for was his speed.
This time, Zi Chen did not use Thunderbolt Finger. Instead, he used his Fusion Battle Skill. As for his speed, Zi Chen, who was at the peak of early Eighth Stage, used Misty Steps, which he had comprehended True Meaning. He was not slower than Chen Qi at all. In just a few steps, he caught up with Chen Qi. The moment he used his Fusion Battle Skill, Chen Qi was sent flying. Immediately after, a black light flashed and a bloody arm suddenly flew up.
Chen Qi had lost an arm.
At the same time, Zi Chen turned into a streak of light and rushed towards the pursuers who had gone around him. In the midst of the banging sounds, half of the pursuers had already fallen to the ground and were seriously injured.
Zi Chen, who was at the eighth level of Zhen Qi, was even more dangerous than Zhang Haotian. In just a few breaths of time, the battle was over.
"Take them and leave." Zi Chen glanced at the others, who were already scared silly, as he said in an indifferent voice.
These people nodded as if they had been pardoned. Then, carrying the injured people, they fled as fast as they could.
In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone left one after another. Only a bloody arm lay alone in the forest.
Two days later, Zhang Haotian slowly woke up. During this time, no more pursuers came. They seemed to have been scared stiff by Zi Chen's powerful battle strength.
After waking up, Zhang Haotian saw Zi Chen sitting on a big rock.
