Chapter 555: Chapter 624: Senior Brother and Junior Sister Join Forces Chapter 555: Chapter 624: Senior Brother and Junior Sister Join Forces Following the command of the Poison Wolf, the Sky Team changed their Formation, displaying a War Intent so powerful that it seed as if a Taoist Master had struck with all his might.
“Kill!”
The crowd roared in unison, swiftly following behind Poison Wolf, charging towards the area densest with black-clothed figures.
“Yiyi, stick close to !”
Chen Nan left an afterimage at his original position and charged in the direction Ye Yiyi pointed out.
Along the way, his Demon Sword swept across, leaving a trail of severed limbs and blood splattered everywhere.
Soon, the brother and sister disciples had carved a bloody path and dashed to the outskirts of the camp.
“Brother Senior, the fluctuations from the treasure are coming from that direction, more than a dozen mountain peaks away from us.” Ye Yiyi concentrated for a mont, then opened her eyes and spoke to Chen Nan.
“Alright, let’s chase!”
The two of them utilized their qinggong to scale mountains and ridges, heading towards the direction Ye Yiyi had sensed.
Within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, the trees were extrely dense, filled with venomous snakes and poisonous insects, and in the vast expanse of the forest, there were no paths at all. Chen Nan and Ye Yiyi had to cut through the underbrush to advance.
It was nearly six in the morning, but the mountains were still shrouded in darkness.
The brother and sister were worried the treasure would be taken out of the country, so they didn’t stop for a mont and soon climbed over the first mountain peak.
Suddenly…
A slender black shadow shot out from the dense thicket, like a bolt of lightning, plunging towards Ye Yiyi’s head.
“What’s that?”
Chen Nan flicked his right hand, and the Demon Sword slashed out instantly. A streak of white light flashed by with a “whoosh,” and with a light “pfft,” the shadow was cleaved into two halves.
Blood sprayed everywhere, and on the ground, a Golden Ring Poison Snake was cut in half, writhing in its death throes amidst the grass. Monts later, it turned into two stiff disjointed corpses.
“It’s a Golden Blood Snake, its venom can kill a martial artist at the Peak of Qi Dao Ten Layers. Without the Yu Dao Gang Qi, one cannot withstand the venom of this snake!” Chen Nan’s expression grew grave as he imdiately pulled Ye Yiyi behind him, “Just follow behind , let clear the path.”
Ye Yiyi felt touched but also a bit annoyed, “I want to fight alongside you!”
Chen Nan furrowed his brows, speaking sternly, “Stop talking nonsense. I have a Divine Weapon in my hand, what do you have? Besides, with clearing the way, you can focus more on sensing the treasure. This is the job you should be doing.”
Seeing Chen Nan insist, Ye Yiyi bit her lip, hesitated for a mont, and then obediently nodded.
“That’s a good and obedient disciple! By the way, those carrying the treasure, are they still fleeing?”
Ye Yiyi sensed for a mont and said, “They are continuously running towards the border, and very fast at that.”
Chen Nan nodded, “In that case, we need to speed up. Follow closely.”
With all their Inner Strength called upon, the two of them dashed like phantoms through the deep forest, their speed astounding.
With Chen Nan clearing the path ahead, Ye Yiyi could safely concentrate on sensing the location of the treasure. Without pause, they crossed over three more mountain peaks until Chen Nan finally stopped again.
Daylight had fully arrived, yet within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, there still lingered a bone-chilling, gloomy atmosphere. The deeper into the mountain range they went, the more pronounced this feeling beca, as if they had arrived in the Netherworld Hell itself.
“What’s wrong, is sothing not right?”
Seeing Chen Nan suddenly stop, Ye Yiyi approached him with a look of concern and asked.
“The situation is actually not too bad, although there are more venomous snakes and insects, they can’t threaten .”
Chen Nan shook his head, his eyes showing a look of distress and worry, “I’m thinking, we’ve been chasing for more than half an hour, and we haven’t even covered half the distance. Moreover, the other party is still running. If this continues, it will consu too much of your inner strength.”
Chen Nan’s own physique was special. As long as he wasn’t using the Slaughter God Seven Steps for a prolonged ti, he didn’t need to worry about the consumption of his inner strength.
But Ye Yiyi was different. Although she was also a martial arts prodigy, she didn’t have Chen Nan’s abnormally strong constitution; her true qi recovery speed couldn’t keep up with the rapid depletion they were now facing.
Moreover, they were still a good distance away from the treasure thieves, and by the ti they caught up to those people, Ye Yiyi probably wouldn’t have much inner strength left.
With this in mind, Chen Nan said to Ye Yiyi, “Co on, Yiyi, let carry you on my back for a while.”
Upon hearing Chen Nan’s words, Ye Yiyi shook her head like a rattle-drum, hastily saying, “How can that be okay? I still have a lot of inner strength left. Don’t worry about .”
“Silly girl, you know my condition as well as I do. Carrying you won’t be a problem, and it could save your strength… Be a good girl, co on!”
But Ye Yiyi just wouldn’t agree and kept shaking her head persistently.
“What, not listening to your senior brother now?”
Ye Yiyi pursed her lips and still insisted, shaking her head with a smile, “When it’s ti to be obedient, of course, I will listen, but now, please don’t talk about it anymore.”
In her heart, she thought: Silly senior brother, if you can be so considerate of , how can I not consider your concerns? Do you truly believe your inner strength is inexhaustible?
After a long silence, Chen Nan knew he couldn’t persuade her, and could only helplessly say, “Then take care of yourself, and if you feel your inner strength can’t keep up, take a rest first.”
“I know.”
Ye Yiyi nodded, and seeing Chen Nan stand up, she also hurriedly set off running.
But just as she was catching up, Chen Nan suddenly turned around and swiftly pointed his finger.
Caught off guard, Ye Yiyi was struck by Chen Nan’s acupoint, and her body went limp, causing her to sit down on the ground.
Looking at Chen Nan with surprise, Ye Yiyi’s eyes widened, “Senior brother, what are you doing?”
She wouldn’t think Chen Nan would plot against her; she just couldn’t understand why her senior brother would hit her acupoints.
Chen Nan shook his head, picked up Ye Yiyi, and carried her on his back, giving a mischievous smile, “What am I doing? Of course, it’s Zhu Bajie carrying his wife. Did you think I had no other way if you didn’t let carry you?”
“I refuse to be Zhu Bajie’s wife!”
Ye Yiyi couldn’t help but chuckle, but her eyes started to moisten; she hadn’t expected her silly senior brother to co up with such a thod for her sake, “Senior brother…”
“There’s no need for you to say anything more. I won’t let you down.”
Chen Nan shook his head, his face stern, “You know the task is dangerous and still refuse to follow your senior brother’s arrangents. Do you want to exhaust all your inner strength and watch retrieve the treasure alone?”
“Alright, you make sense, I’ll listen to you,” Ye Yiyi said with a smile on her face, not saying anything more and comfortably leaning against Chen Nan’s back.
“That’s my good girl.”
Chen Nan smiled, employing his fastest speed.
As fast as the wind and lightning, Chen Nan chased over seven mountain tops in one breath, and around 8 o’clock in the morning, Ye Yiyi suddenly said excitedly in his ear, “After we cross this mountain top, the treasure will be on the other side!”
