Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 167: Escape (3rd Update)


"He ran?"

"He really ran?"

"How did Chu Mo escape?"

"Quick, catch him!"

"We can't let him escape!"

"Stop right there!"

Despite being terrified by Chu Mo's attack, the crowd mustered their courage when they saw him flee. They couldn't help but roar loudly in anger.

If they let Chu Mo escape just like that, they might as well prepare to face death.

Thousands of people chased a teenager, suffered losses, and still let him escape. This would surely become the world's biggest laughing stock if word got out.

Chu Mo was not a fool. To stay, was to wait for death. Why wouldn't he run?

So, not only did Chu Mo run, but he also ran faster than he had when he left Yanhuang City!

Although with every step, sharp pain radiated from his wounds. It felt as if his entire body was being torn apart.

But Chu Mo gritted his teeth, bent over, activated his signature move Phantom Wind Step with all his might, and sprinted wildly through the night.

These men previously were unable to catch him when their cultivation levels weren't sealed. Now, their cultivation severly weakened and most of them already exhausted, it didn't take long for Chu Mo to shake them off.

The people chasing after him were seething with rage!

If some people had doubts and wanted to stay away before the chaos, now everybody wanted to pursue. The only thought left in everyone's mind was: if they don't die, they must catch Chu Mo and get the inheritance of Piaomiao Palace!

Every technique Chu Mo demonstrated made them drool with desire!

Even the people of Vermilion Bird Continent believed that these techniques were the inheritance of Piaomiao Palace!

Among them, not many participated in the destruction of Piaomiao Palace. Thus, they had no idea how strong Piaomiao Palace used to be.

"Perhaps, these techniques he practiced were the hidden secrets of the Piaomiao Palace! Yes, the secrets from that time!"

"Perhaps, back in the day, Piaomiao Palace was full of female disciples. Because these techniques, when practiced by female disciples, did not reveal their true power!"

"Chu Mo has never been exposed to other top-tier factions. The techniques he practiced must be inherited from Piaomiao Palace!"

Of course, some couldn't help but express their doubts.

"Does the person who sealed our cultivation levels in the dark have anything to do with Piaomiao Palace?"

"Yeah, Chu Mo's techniques are probably not Piaomiao Palace's inheritance..."

"I think, the techniques Chu Mo practiced should be the strongest techniques in the world!"

But when another voice speaks up, the opposition fades away.

"If that's true, we should catch Chu Mo even more! If we can force the techniques he practices out of him, wouldn't that be more valuable than the inheritance of Piaomiao Palace?"

About the person who sealed their cultivation levels... Is it meaningful to worry about it now? If they want to kill us, what can we do to resist?

Therefore, almost everyone, like madmen, rushed towards Chu Mo.

At this point, apart from the 160 or so people who died at Chu Mo's hands. The greater casualties were caused by the mutual attacks between Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird continents, with more than 300 people killed.

The remaining 500 people stopped fighting each other and all pursued Chu Mo.

Chu Mo constantly honed his techniques during the battle. His Phantom Wind Step, in particular, was so perfected now that he was faster than before. He raced towards the distance like the wind.

A hundred miles away was a series of mountains.

The mountains were covered with lush green forests. The indomitable hills and ridges stretched across and exuded a powerful majestic aura, even in the darkness of the night.

There was a popular saying in the world of martial arts that ordinary people lived by: do not enter the forest!

Because the denser the mountain forest, the more likely it holds unknown dangers.

But now, Chu Mo needed just this kind of place!

So, upon seeing the rolling hills, a faint smile finally appeared on Chu Mo's face.

He quickened his steps, even if it meant excessively consuming his internal primordial force. It didn't take long for him to finally reach the forests at the foot of the mountains. Without any hesitation, he plunged straight in.

Then, he traveled another hundred miles among these mountains until finally, he found a suitable location.

This was a cliff so high its top was out of sight!

Standing at the bottom of the cliff in the dark, Chu Mo looked up, only to see clouds enveloping the top. Occasionally, the night wind blew away some clouds only to reveal steep cliffs still looming above!

There was hardly anything on the cliff except for a few tenacious trees rooted in the rocks. Wanting to climb the cliff by relying on these trees was almost impossible.

Moreover, this cliff was incredibly high. Even a martial artist at peak cultivation level would find it hard to surpass!

Because if they were exhausted mid-climb and fell, death was assured!

"This place looks good." Chu Mo breathed heavily, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and murmured: "Even if they all recover their strength, climbing this cliff will prove to be quite a challenge. By the time they manage it, I'll be waiting for them on top!"

He then began to climb, using the Heaven Slaying to stab into the hard rock and pitch himself upwards little by little.

Even with the valuable Heaven Slaying in his hand, climbing up was quite slow.

The wounds on his body were still bleeding, almost staining his entire outfit red.

The teenager's resolute face was as if carved in stone. His expression was serious, and his eyes were steady.

Little by little, slowly upward.

The Demon Lord, who observed the situation in the clouds, couldn't help but admire Chu Mo's persistence.

In fact, before Chu Mo ran, the Demon Lord was about to remind him that honing oneself does not mean fighting to the death!

Being able to kill so many enemies was a miracle for young Chu Mo! When he, the Demon Lord, was in the Immortal Realm and chased by countless elites, he barely did the same.

Chu Mo did not disappoint him. As soon as he realized that he could not kill everybody by keeping this up, he turned around and ran without hesitation.

The Demon Lord was eager to see how Chu Mo would handle the current predicament.

If one does not consider the Demon Lord's help, anyone would think that Chu Mo was facing certain death!

Because this surely was a stalemate!

Although only over five hundred of them were left, all of them had a cultivation level similar to Chu Mo's.

Even if Chu Mo's techniques were powerful, a great many normal people could still kill an elephant. If these people united and attacked Chu Mo together, he would not have the slightest chance of survival.

Running away didn't necessarily mean safety.

Because Chu Mo's injuries were severe. Without finding an absolutely safe place to heal, he still had to face a life-threatening crisis.

If the Demon Lord stepped in, then Chu Mo's trial would be over.

It would mean he lost.
