Chapter 252: You Seem to Dislike Me
Chapter 252: You Seem to Dislike Me
The overwhelming pressure from the Nine Heavens Blade Technique was so formidable that even the Earth Demons dared not underestimate it.
When the Night Sky Blade Technique slashed down, it revealed its form, allowing the Earth Demon to dodge the attack.
Seeing the Earth Demon retreating, Su Chen quickly rushed forward, pulling Liu Xingwan behind her as they leaped away.
Liu Xingwan had considered various possibilities for their rescue, but none of them involved "Chen Su" coming to their aid.
After regaining her composure, Liu Xingwan quickly caught up with Su Chen's pace and continued forward.
Behind them, the Earth Demon didn't hesitate much and followed closely.
"Follow my steps, wherever I step, you step too!"
"Yes!"
At this critical moment, neither of them argued as they had before.
Wherever Su Chen landed, Liu Xingwan followed suit.
The Earth Demon behind them leaped even further, making it impossible to completely match Su Chen's steps.
After just a few steps, they encountered some pits.
These pits, which had been disguised by Su Chen using dirt and branches, appeared no different from ordinary flat ground.
The pits didn't pose much of a problem for the Earth Demon.
But as Su Chen had previously mentioned in the Yunyang Sect, even a slight hindrance was enough.
Liu Xingwan, witnessing this, finally understood what Su Chen had been doing to prepare for their escape.
The obstacles ahead were indeed slowing down the Earth Demon's pursuit.
This gave the two of them a chance to survive.
As they continued forward, Liu Xingwan's heart was deeply moved.
At this moment, her cultivation had reached the Sixth Stage Perfection.
However, even with this level of speed, she found herself barely keeping up with Su Chen.
With Su Chen leading the way, Liu Xingwan felt that she needed to focus intensely to match her pace.
Behind them, the Earth Demon quickly caught up, and its strength was even greater.
The Demon's physique was naturally superior to that of humans.
How could two youngsters compete with an Earth Demon?
Moreover, this particular Earth Demon, provoked by Su Chen's actions, was even more enraged.
Its speed was faster than before.
"When we reach the cliff waterfall, we must jump down. When we do, make sure to hold onto me and stabilize your body!"
Su Chen instructed as she raced ahead.
As she spoke, the waterfall came into view not far away.
The cliff beneath the waterfall was about twenty-some zhang deep.
Below the cliff was a river that was still quite deep.
When they had arrived, the two of them had bypassed this waterfall cliff, so they knew the terrain.
Su Chen observed the direction of the river, which seemed to flow towards the wilderness outside Tiangang City.
Upon seeing the cliff waterfall, Liu Xingwan also guessed Su Chen's intention.
This was a plan to leap down and seize an opportunity for survival.
The Earth Demon behind them continued its relentless pursuit.
It was on the verge of promotion and couldn't devour a Fifth Rank Powerhouse, but it could still manage Liu Xingwan and Su Chen.
In this wilderness, it faced no significant danger.
At this moment, Su Chen had already reached the edge of the cliff.
"Hold onto me and stabilize your body, don't fall!"
Without wasting time, Su Chen leaped down.
Behind her, Liu Xingwan didn't hesitate for a moment.
She aimed for Su Chen's figure and leaped over, grasping Su Chen's waist.
At this moment, Liu Xingwan realized that the two of them were suspended in mid-air, with Su Chen holding onto a vine.
Their bodies were constantly being washed by the waterfall.
Behind them, the Earth Demon reached the edge of the cliff without any hesitation.
This height was nothing to the Earth Demon.
And below was a river, which was even less of a concern for the demon.
But in fact, Su Chen was also aware that this height was nothing to it.
It would definitely follow and jump down.
However, these were precisely the opportunities for Su Chen and Liu Xingwan to survive.
Seeing the Earth Demon leap down, Su Chen's figure rose, carrying Liu Xingwan back to the mountaintop from mid-air.
At this moment, Liu Xingwan finally understood Su Chen's true plan.
It wasn't about jumping off the cliff; it was merely to lure the Earth Demon to jump down.
Liu Xingwan seemed to feel that the danger had been mostly eliminated, and her entire body relaxed slightly.
But Su Chen's expression remained serious.
"For the Earth Demon to climb up from below is not a difficult task for it.
Now is not the time to rest."
As he spoke, Su Chen led Liu Xingwan back the way they came.
In their haste, the water stains on their bodies were also shaken dry.
Not far away, a relatively shallow cave entrance appeared.
"Hide in there, quick."
Liu Xingwan didn't hesitate for a moment, and both of them hid inside.
This place couldn't even be called a cave; it was more accurate to call it a pit.
Both of them were mentally exhausted, but they tried to control themselves as much as possible, preventing their bodies from experiencing significant fluctuations.
Time passed, and several hours went by.
Outside, the sky completely darkened.
Su Chen had been vigilant, and the Earth Demon's alertness was stronger than he had imagined.
Using his Demon Hunter expertise, Su Chen had already sensed that there was nothing unusual around, but he still decided to wait a little longer.
An entire night passed before they emerged from the pit.
Both of them looked a bit haggard, and at this moment, Liu Xingwan no longer resembled a Heaven's Talent Disciple.
Liu Xingwan had wanted to say something, but Su Chen signaled her to keep her voice down.
Then, under Su Chen's guidance, they headed southwest.
Su Chen led Liu Xingwan for a good distance, going directly to the bottom of the cliff and waterfall.
The Earth Demon was clever and would definitely know that they hadn't jumped down.
But now, Su Chen had returned to the same spot.
By going back and forth, the Earth Demon couldn't guess their position.
Following the river, they headed southwest, circling slightly, and then returned to the direction of the Yunyang Sect.
As they walked, Su Chen noticed Liu Xingwan's pale face.
Soon after, they found a hidden spot to rest briefly.
Both of them had brought water and food, and during their rest, they also ate some food.
Liu Xingwan seemed genuinely tired and couldn't be bothered with anything else, so she sat down directly.
Su Chen remained vigilant, keeping watch for any possible demons that might appear.
There was no conversation between the two, and they fell silent for a while.
Liu Xingwan couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up, "Thank you."
Su Chen didn't have to return to rescue her at all. Facing the Earth Demon, even if they returned to the Yunyang Sect, the sect members couldn't blame Su Chen for not saving Liu Xingwan.
They couldn't force Su Chen to rescue Liu Xingwan from the Earth Demon.
But Su Chen had turned back to save her and had arranged everything.
Now, following Su Chen, she, Liu Xingwan, unconsciously felt a sense of security.
Seeing that Su Chen didn't reply, Liu Xingwan hesitated for a moment and then continued, "You seem to dislike me."
"That shouldn't be hard to tell."
Su Chen responded, but his tone was still not pleasant.
Although he had saved Liu Xingwan's life, his dislike for her remained.
