Li Chen is desperately fleeing.
He can’t even rember how many tis he’s used the divine skill of spatial transference.
But he knows that he absolutely cannot stop until his space law is completely exhausted.
Because the fastest speed he can manage now is through this skill; flying directly can’t compare, as it is limited by distance.
Though Li Chen holds a trump card in his hand, he’s still very uncertain in his heart.
He doesn’t know how fast the strong pursuer behind him is, but first and foremost, Li Chen must ensure that he can stall the opponent for so ti.
Even if he gives up using the Five Elents Boots to escape, he must delay the opponent.
Definitely can’t give the opponent any ti to catch up to Li Youxue!
Moreover, Li Chen has never truly encountered how terrifying a Kuotian Realm King can be, and he can’t even confirm if the Five Elents Boots can escape from the domain of a Kuotian Realm King.
Indeed, realm kings all possess a domain.
Whether strong or weak, nearly all realm kings have it. If the domain is too strong, it can lock the surrounding space entirely. Just like what Realm King An Ping’er had done before, in that ’Ice Lake World,’ Li Chen couldn’t even operate his power of space.
That’s the reason why Li Chen was always suppressed by Jia Jie, and why he chose to take Bai Shi instead of Li Youxue!
Taking Li Youxue would an running for his life, but bringing Bai Shi ans he chooses to fight desperately!
"Only two more teleportations left." Li Chen felt a sharp pain in his mind. Although healing pills continuously alleviate his injuries, this kind of consumption cannot be replenished.
"Tele...port." Li Chen managed to painfully open another space gate, bringing Bai Shi through with speed, appearing once again in a place he had no idea how far away.
"Last one!" Li Chen gritted his teeth. This ti, he didn’t teleport but let Bai Shi carry him while flying.
Bai Shi was originally much stronger than him, even more so in his injured state. Flying slowly on his own was not an option over letting Bai Shi carry him.
However, after flying for just a bit of ti asured by a burning stick of incense, under the Eye of the Dao, a forcibly ’squeezed’ figure erged.
Also flying in the air, Li Chen finally saw what true speed looked like on this person.
If not for the Eye of the Dao, Li Chen might have thought he couldn’t even perceive this person’s existence.
Because their speed was simply too fast, like a thunderbolt and lightning, crossing imnse distances in the blink of an eye, rapidly closing in on them.
Li Chen’s throat made a ’gulp’ sound.
At last, he understood why the supre treasures said he was absolutely not a match.
Bai Shi’s speed wasn’t slow, yet even Bai Shi was being rapidly overtaken by such speed, aning this person’s velocity alone completely overwheld Bai Shi.
Facing such a strong opponent in close combat... Li Chen shuddered to think of the consequences.
"But, I must stall!" Li Chen gritted his teeth, to give Li Youxue a chance to escape, he had to continue delaying.
If he uses the Five Elents Boots now, and the opponent turns back to chase Li Youxue, neither Li Youxue nor Xuan Ming would be able to escape.
"Looks like, in the end, it still cos to this." Held by Bai Shi, a slightly sorrowful smile gradually appeared on Li Chen’s face.
In his heart, he was already prepared.
Even if it costs him his life, he must earn so ti for Li Youxue.
Many tis, even Li Chen himself couldn’t understand why he fought so hard. Sotis it’s to live, sotis it’s to ensure the people around him survive; there are just too many reasons pushing him.
This ti, he truly doesn’t know if he can be lucky enough to survive like before, but he knows that he’ll still try hard to give it his all.
Perhaps in many people’s eyes, as his cultivation level increases, so things about him start to change.
But only Li Chen knows he has never changed; his original intent has always been there.
"Old Bai."
"Mm."
"Prepare for a deadly fight."
"Got it."
Bai Shi held a stick, showing no expression, but the typically dazed Bai Shi from the Nether River Space showed a peculiar glimr in his eyes when looking at Li Chen.
...
"Xuan Ming, it’s ti."
After traveling who knows how far, the restraining power on Li Youxue gradually faded, allowing her to use the freezing power of her Extre Chilling Ice Spirit Body to forcefully freeze open a gap in the circulating space, by which she broke free from her restraints.
Sitting on Xuan Ming’s back, Li Youxue’s face showed no expression, yet her voice carried an undertone of sadness.
She knew what Li Chen was planning; she understood when Li Chen and Bai Shi were talking.
She’s a smart girl, but when with Li Chen, she would subconsciously make herself seem foolish. Because by Li Chen’s side, a familial sense of security made her not need to think too much.
She didn’t need to think about so much anymore, because Li Chen was enough.
But this ti...
Feeling Li Youxue breaking free from her back without any abnormalities, Xuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and also released the defense he had ford on his back to take care of Li Youxue.
Feeling the aura that brushed past Xuan Ming during the high-speed movent, Li Youxue softly sighed.
"Xuan Ming, do you know what the feeling of family... truly is?"
"I don’t know. When I was young, my parents perished together with a Fifth Rank Heavenly Demon Beast to protect ," Xuan Ming said honestly. "It’s been so long, I’ve almost forgotten that feeling. But when they were still around, I didn’t have to think about much, just needed to be happy."
Li Youxue nodded, her smile appearing a bit bleak. "Was happiness all there was?"
Before her father disappeared, she was much like Xuan Ming, never having to worry, just being happy, whether at ho or outside, living like a carefree, proud little princess.
But everything changed after her father disappeared.
In just a few years, she experienced nearly twenty things she hadn’t encountered before, seeing close to twenty years of things she hadn’t understood.
As she gradually learned how to be strong, how to survive independently in the harsh land of the Heaven Realm, Li Chen appeared.
This man, who once let her find back her carefree life, has been tirelessly taking care of her.
At first, she didn’t understand what was happening, but as she got closer, she gradually discovered that this man might actually be the third brother she had never t.
After suspecting this possibility, Li Youxue’s heart, which had gradually frozen over, adapting to Heaven Realm’s harsh environnt, began to thaw.
In this world, the ones who truly care and look out for you are ultimately family.
For her sake, even though he only had the power of the Envy Heaven Realm, he dared to launch a sneak attack under the eyes of a Heaven Following Realm peak strongman.
For her sake, even if he faced a crowd of people with higher cultivation than himself, he was willing to fight.
For her sake, despite being in danger, he would constantly be concerned about her safety, ensuring she didn’t suffer any grievances.
The only ones who can do this... are family.
Along the way, Li Youxue remained silent, not saying anything further. She understood Li Chen’s intentions and understood why he was doing all of this.
She wouldn’t waste Li Chen’s kindness frivolously, and at this mont, she knew she couldn’t catch up no matter how hard she tried.
She took out the ssage Jade Slip, trying to contact Li Chen.
Once, twice, three tis...
But from Li Chen’s side, there was no response. Whether it was because ti was too tight, or the battle had already started, or perhaps...
Li Youxue tightly pressed her lips together, preventing herself from crying out, so many tis that even she couldn’t rember how many tis, continuously reminding herself: to be strong.
But when so monts touched that softness in her heart, she couldn’t help it.
"Woooo~~"
Tears continuously stread down her fair cheeks from the corners of her eyes, dripping onto Xuan Ming’s back, silently dampening the white fur.
Just then, a voice abruptly sounded from behind Li Youxue.
"Who upset my Youxue? I’ll go and slaughter them!"
Hearing this voice, Li Youxue’s expression suddenly paused.
And at this mont, Xuan Ming, who was still sprinting wildly, suddenly halted his steps, his widened eyes filled with disbelief.
Li Youxue turned her head, looking at the man behind her, unable to contain herself, she broke into tears.
"Dad!!"
This was her secret, also her family’s little secret. When she was young, her parents always told her that they did not belong to this world but ca from soplace called Earth. So among their family, they maintained so small habits different from the Heaven Realm, like calling each other certain nas, or the little objects from the Lower Realm her father always brought ho.
Walking ahead, Li Changcun gently hugged his daughter.
"These years, you’ve suffered."
He ca to pick up Li Youxue, originally planning to go after the matters in the Moonlight Forest alongside Daolan Heavenly King, yet even he didn’t expect to et his little daughter here.
"Dad! I’m fine... But brother! Quickly save brother!" Li Youxue suddenly rembered sothing and said urgently.
"Brother?" Li Changcun’s eyes showed confusion.
"Third brother, it’s third brother! Third brother ca to the Heaven Realm too, and during this ti, it’s been third brother taking care of . He went alone to divert strong enemies to save , dad, hurry and save him!" Li Youxue said loudly, even stopping her cries.
"Old third..." Li Youxue could feel her father’s body suddenly stiffen for a mont, then quickly took out the ssage Jade Slip.
"Daolan Brother, how’s the situation on your side?"
Daolan Heavenly King’s tone appeared sowhat strange, with anger, sentint, and maybe a hint of... awkwardness.
"Brother Li, I misjudged this ti, that kid slipped right under my nose."
