Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 819 - 526: Breaking Body! Flying God!

Yan Chuan observed clearly just now, Zhou Shun's speed was about 420 meters per second, judging from his cultivation, it was evidently his full strength.

This was not normal.

Yan Chuan was alert internally but still feigned fear on the surface: "I, Cheng Guangling, pay respects to Elder Zhou!"

Zhou Shun nodded indifferently, ignoring Yan Chuan, only looking at Cheng Fengxiao: "The Heavenly Calamity is rampant, outside of Lishan, even a Divine General finds it hard to be safe. You have shown kindness to my brother, and I cannot stand by and watch you march to your death, follow me back to the mountain."

"Elder Zhou! The Heavenly Calamity has descended, my disciples and clansmen are in dire straits, I want to go back and bring them to Lishan for shelter." Cheng Fengxiao echoed his original excuse for going out of the mountain at this time.

But Zhou Shun was determined to 'protect him': "The tribe is in trouble, what use is it for you to go? I'll send a Divine General to take you, the disciple, back, to bring the people over, wouldn't the speed of a Divine General be ten times faster than yours? Isn't it better than you going personally?"

What he said made sense!

But Cheng Fengxiao's real goal wasn't to save any 'tribe clansmen,' he wanted to run away!

Zhou Shun's 'domineering' actions directly trapped Cheng Fengxiao. When Zhou Shun said this much, if Cheng Fengxiao insisted on going back himself, it would make no sense.

But Zhou Shun's actions also made no sense, he was only burying his brother's body, why go this far?

Yan Chuan glanced at Ding Xiang.

She was Yan Chuan's 'human-shaped external device,' yet she insisted on staying in Five Blessings City, and Yan Chuan didn't force her. Including Cheng Fengxiao, who is Yan Chuan's benefactor, if Cheng Fengxiao was intent on staying with the Lishan Sect, Yan Chuan would not forcibly take him away.

But Zhou Shun!

Too domineering!

Is it just his nature?

"No, no, no!"

"Something's not right!"

Yan Chuan grabbed his troubled master urgently, saying: "Master, don't resist."

He then put Cheng Fengxiao into the North Mansion's stone room and turned to leave with seamless fluidity.

"How daring!"

Zhou Shun was initially stunned.

He was already on guard because he himself felt guilty, so he had long anticipated Cheng Fengxiao might choose this chaotic moment to escape, suspecting he knew something.

Suspicion!

Guard!

But Zhou Shun hadn't expected the crux lay with this unknown disciple behind Cheng Fengxiao, even less so that Cheng Fengxiao could disappear before his eyes, nor that this 'Cheng Guangling' could turn and rush so fast it broke the speed meter!

"What a cunning thief!"

"How dare you abduct someone in Lishan?!"

Zhou Shun reacted quickly, he hurriedly stepped forward to chase Yan Chuan.

The two accelerated instantly—

Boom boom boom!

They both broke the sound barrier, initiating a supersonic chase.

But they had just started—

"Damn!"

Zhou Shun pursued along Yan Chuan's path but was caught off guard as Sword Qi burst from each footprint, stepping with hexagrams, hexagrams moving Qi, Qi moving through meridians, and meridians manifesting the sword, Sword Qi remained behind, left underfoot, and once pursued, the energy triggered the burst of Sword Qi—

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Dozens of Sword Qi from "Wave Riding Micro Steps" Fourth Form "Breaking Body" blocked the path, Zhou Shun's speed was just picking up when Sword Qi blocked him, he forcefully broke through dozens of steps, chasing nearly ten miles instantly, but the Sword Qi grew stronger, soon reaching a degree of a deadly threat to Zhou Shun.

"You bastard!"

Zhou Shun stopped, a sword cut across his cheek, his face darkened to the extreme: "How did they know! Who was the one that rescued him?!"

Zhou Shun's face was unsightly.

"Elder Zhou, what happened?" The commotion was significant, a high-rank Divine General from Lishan rushed over, led by Guan Ji, one of the Ten Elders from the Xuanqi Institute, one of the Nine Courtyards of Lishan Sect.

This is a Fifth-Rank Divine General.

With aid arriving, Zhou Shun urged quickly: "An unknown figure, suspected to be a Fourth-Rank Divine General, abducted our Lishan Sect's immensely potential Second Rank Alchemist Cheng Fengxiao. That person was suspected to have a 'portable cave' or some similar treasure, Elder Guan, please help me retrieve the disciple!"

"A Fourth-Rank Divine General!"

"Portable Cave!"

Originally disinclined to handle the trivial matter of a mere Second Rank Alchemist being abducted, but if the abductor possessed a 'portable cave,' that was a different story.

Moreover, what kind of alchemy genius would warrant a Fourth-Rank Divine General to take the risk of abducting from the Lishan Sect?

Guan Ji quickly considered, decisively responding: "I will lead, all of you follow, we absolutely cannot let this thief escape, tarnish the face of Lishan!"

Before Guan Ji's words finished, he had already vanished.

Fifth-Rank Divine General!

At full speed, ordinarily at least 500 meters per second, a mile a second, practically flying.

"We can catch up!" Zhou Shun regained confidence and hurriedly trailed. But after less than three hundred miles, he found Guan Ji spinning like a headless chicken in the same place.

Zhou Shun's heart sank: "Elder Guan?"

"Lost track!" Guan Ji admitted frankly, looking around, his brows tightly knitted: "I followed the Qi marks and airflow fluctuations here, but now I can no longer sense the thief's whereabouts."

"How could one leave no trace at full speed?"

Zhou Shun did not believe it.

Wherever one passes, traces must remain, pursuit among Innate Divine Generals looks easy to shake off, but in reality, it's hard unless one enters a city hastily, blends into the bustling crowd to cover all traces, then leaves cautiously at a slow speed from another city gate— otherwise, it's hard to shake off a pursuing Divine General.

Now, in such a situation, in the wild, unable to mix aura, fleeing for life, not daring to slow down, then where did he go?

"They must still be here!"

Zhou Shun and Guan Ji exchanged a glance, thinking the same thing!

...

But they were mistaken.

Yan Chuan was long gone from there.

"Use steps to follow the hexagram, use hexagram to channel energy, use energy to traverse the meridian, use meridian to guide the sword. This is the fourth form of 'Wave Riding Micro Steps', 'Breaking Body', leaving sword qi underfoot specifically to hinder enemy pursuit. The ambushing sword qi might even cause the pursuers to drop dead on the spot!"

This is 'Breaking Body'.

"Body swift as a flying bird, elusive as a god, swift as electric flash, incredibly fierce. This is the third form of 'Wave Riding Micro Steps', 'Flying God', elusive and unpredictable, energy gathered, airflow calmed, sacrificing slight speed to quickly erase all traces after walking. This is the perfect technique to evade pursuit."

This is 'Flying God'.

Every form of the true skill 'Wave Riding Micro Steps' has its marvelous use—

Fourth form 'Breaking Body' to hinder the enemy.

Third form 'Flying God' to vanish without a trace.

Second form 'Six Meridians' for offense.

First form 'Impermanence' for evasion.

Different occasions, different circumstances, wield different techniques; this is the true skill 'Wave Riding Micro Steps'!

"'Breaking Body'."

"Then add 'Flying God'."

"Easily shake off Zhou Shun's pursuit."

Yan Chuan chuckled.

After losing the trail of the Divine General, with the vastness of the world, it would be hard to find again. Moreover, he could return to Great Yan, Zhou Shun couldn't possibly follow.

Yan Chuan casually found a Nanxiong City, transformed into 'Baili Qingfeng', and entered the city with ease. There was no time to catch up with his brother Baili Changjing, as 'Baili Qingfeng' claimed to be injured upon return and entered the Cultivation Quiet Room for closed-door seclusion, while in fact leaving the Monkey King Avatar inside, and with 'North Mansion' along with Cheng Fengxiao, Lu Yuru, Soul Channel, instantly returned to Great Yan, back to Suanzao Mountain.

This expedition!

Perfection!

...

Yan Chuan emerged from the 'Soul Channel', looking at Wang Zhengyi: "Thanks to you once again!"

"Stop with the false courtesy!" Wang Zhengyi smiled, "As long as you and Senior Cheng return safely, that's good enough."

"There were some twists and turns, but overall smooth." Yan Chuan headed to Mountain and Sea Realm, first to Five Blessings City, then again to Lishan, using nearly four hours just within Five Blessings City and entering and exiting Lishan. Coupled with traveling and resting, the trip took up an entire day.

The Heavenly Calamity in Jinze Region also persisted for a full day.

"Not just the Jinze Region!"

"Not just the Lanhua Region!"

Wang Zhengyi spent the entire day at Suanzao Mountain, yet through Great Yan was clear about the situation over at Mountain and Sea Realm: "According to court statistics, the entire Mo Yin Continent, Four Continents, Four Oceans, all suffered heavenly calamities, this time covering so wide, it seems apocalyptic!"

Wang Zhengyi's face was solemn.

Yan Chuan was even more shocked hearing it: "Covering the entire Mo Yin Continent?"

Just the Tan Valley Realm along with Jinze Region, Lanhua Region already seemed astonishing, already unimaginable fantasy-level calamity.

But it turned out to be even more.

Encompassing all Four Continents and Four Oceans, such a large Mo Yin Continent actually suffered disaster?

"This—"

Yan Chuan was shocked!

Wang Zhengyi shook his head: "Great Yan corresponds to Mo Yin Continent, so we only know that Mo Yin Continent suffered disaster across the land. But whether in other Twelve Regions outside Mo Yin Continent, or other areas outside the Yu Fang Dynasty, there's disaster, we temporarily have no news."

Mo Yin Continent!

This is known!

The unknown might still cover wider, larger regions.

"What exactly is happening!" Yan Chuan, with his own eyes, had seen the scenes of heavenly calamities and the suffering sentient beings just in Tan Valley Realm, Danhu Realm, and Hunxi Territory, already feeling so heavy it was hard to breathe.

The entire Mo Yin Continent?

The entire Yu Fang Dynasty?

Even the entire Mountain and Sea Realm suffering disaster?

Unimaginable!

On deep reflection, terrifying!

"In short, this time, the Mountain and Sea Realm is about to change dramatically. Besides the heavenly calamity, even the 'Heavenly Ladder' and 'Earth Gate' were all shattered, many martial artists exploring in the 'Underground City World' were all buried along with the worlds turning to ashes!" Wang Zhengyi was also frightened, having ventured into the 'Underground City World' for missions before; it was fortunate that after proving Dao and becoming Innate, he couldn't enter Abnormal World again, otherwise he might have lost his life too.

No one knows when accidents might happen.

Wang Zhengyi briefly explained the situation he learned to Yan Chuan before entering Yan Chuan's 'North Mansion' for continued 'seclusion.' With Mountain and Sea Realm being unstable now, his 'Monkey King Avatar' and 'Alligator Beast Avatar' were still in the disaster areas, Wang Zhengyi needed to focus more on these two avatars to preserve his survival.

Yan Chuan received Wang Zhengyi, returned to his residence, and released Cheng Fengxiao—

...

"Back?"

"Is this Suanzao Mountain?"

"So fortunate, so fortunate!"

Cheng Fengxiao emerged from 'North Mansion', still stuck in the phase where Yan Chuan was fleeing from the pursuit of Zhou Shun and other Lishan Divine Generals. Before entering the 'Soul Channel' each time, Yan Chuan would block 'North Mansion's' external view in advance, for Wang Zhengyi's willingness to let him use the 'Soul Channel' was extreme trust in Yan Chuan. But if Yan Chuan were to show Wang Zhengyi's deepest secrets to those inside his 'North Mansion', that would be dishonorable.

Even with Cheng Fengxiao, regarding Wang Zhengyi's most fundamental secret, Yan Chuan wouldn't disclose it.

This is principle.
