Chapter 108: Chapter 93: With Your Blood, I Accomplish My Great Achievement!_2

This made Chen Qing feel both relieved and a bit disappointed.

During this time, because they had entered the territories of the Nanli Tribe, their speed had slowed down.

Crossing the Lancang River and arriving at a familiar place, Jiang Miaoxian was visibly excited, “When I was a child, I even caught fish here with my brother and the others.”

“If we go another two hundred miles, we can reach Cold Mountain City!”

However, Chen Qing was now only concerned about how many acres of Spiritual Field Jiang Miaoxian's tribe had and whether Spirit Ginseng could be planted.

As soon as they landed, Chen Qing sensed from a distance on a low mountain a man clad in black armor rising and releasing a crow.

Chen Qing immediately felt an alert rise within him, and he quickly sprinted toward the man.

Seeing Chen Qing chasing after him, the man hurriedly tunneled away, disappearing into the earth.

Chen Qing punched the ground, releasing a flood of immense force accompanied by Spiritual Energy, smashing a large hole into the earth.

Underground tunnels?

He leaped into the tunnel, but ahead were three passages, leaving him clueless as to which way the man went.

“Damn!”

Jiang Miaoxian also grew tense, “It's people from the Yuan Rang Tribe!”

“They've always been at odds with the witches.”

“These ground monkeys are most adept at the Earth Tunneling Skill!”

Chen Qing reflected on his own skills but found himself without much means against those proficient in Earth Tunneling skills.

Continuing to walk on the surface would certainly lead to being discovered and surrounded, so it would be better to move through the tunnels.

He leaped high, grasping a Stone Nipple hanging from above, quietly waiting for the wind.

After waiting for a full hour, he finally heard the sound of the wind, carrying new intelligence within it.

“Report, a Tiger General of unknown identity has been discovered, carrying a massive black coffin, accompanied by Jiang Miaoxian.”

“That must be Xuanping!”

“Didn't expect her to be so lucky, even encountering a Tiger General near Da Yan!”

“But it's no match for our lord's divine foresight, having us lie in wait near Cold Mountain City like sitting ducks waiting for a hare!”

“Deploy personnel to search for the Tiger General's trail on the surface and signal immediately upon discovery!”

…

Since all of you are searching for me on the surface, I have no choice but to tread the underground tunnels.

Fighting on someone else's turf was beginning to irritate him.

He set Jiang Miaoxian down, “Wait here for news, and return only when word of Xuanping's return to Cold Mountain City arrives.”

Jiang Miaoxian also realized she was now a burden to Chen Qing, and crying, she crossed the Lancang River once again.

Taking advantage of the wind, Chen Qing evaded three men, traveling fifteen miles toward Cold Mountain City.

As the wind ceased, so did he.

Suddenly, a gust came from ahead, and Chen Qing reached out to grab, tightly holding an iron arrow as thick as a finger.

He looked ahead and saw a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a ferocious tiger totem embroidered on his chest, commending, “Quick reflexes.”

“Hand over Xuanping, and I'll report your meritorious service to the Witch Sect!”

Chen Qing grinned slyly. Had he carried Xuanping over thousands of miles just for this man to kill him?

Sensing that this middle-aged man was only at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, Chen Qing was fearless.

Now in the lands of Nanli, having escaped the Taiping Sect, he could finally fight with full force.

Loosening up, his body shimmered with a bronze hue, and a four-foot-long Geng Metal Sword appeared in Chen Qing's hand, crackling with hidden lightning.

Shooting arrows in the tunnels, what an idea!

Chen Qing sprinted swiftly, his figure so fast that it left afterimages, dodging three iron arrows from the man before circling around to strike with a sword from the side.

The middle-aged man swiftly drew a long knife from his waist to engage Chen Qing head-on, but with just one sword strike, his tiger mouth split, and Chen Qing sent him crashing backward into the tunnel walls.

In a head-on confrontation, Chen Qing feared no Qi Refinement ninth level now!

This person had Sword Butterflies, and their quality wasn't bad!

But compared to Chen Qing's intact Great Kui Sword, they were slightly inferior.

Chen Qing flew forward, unleashing a series of three more sword strikes, making the man's right hand go numb and splitting his tiger mouth.

“Incredibly formidable!”

Just as Chen Qing intended to pursue further, the man had already tunneled away, Chen Qing's anger making him punch in the direction the man fled, his hand smashing down with immense force, causing rocks and stones to fly.

Amid the debris, the man coughed up blood, fled in a panic, and tunneled away once more.

Chen Qing pursued with another punch, but could no longer force him back out from the earth.

This Tiger General's Earth Gu quality wasn't low either!

Chen Qing looked around, aware that he had been exposed; many cultivators were rushing toward him.

He immediately swung his long sword to cut a passage upward.

Emerging on the surface, Chen Qing glanced downward, spotting two young men in black racing toward him.

Without hesitation, he stepped and rode the wind, swiftly darting across the plains.

He had assumed they would send everyone to the surface, but was surprised to find they had left a Tiger General underground to block his path.

With no way through below, he was forced to fight his way across the surface.

Running atop the wind, he landed on tree branches, each step spanning thirty feet, quickly skimming the ground.

Suddenly, a forceful wind swept from behind, as seven or eight young warriors, holding Mystic Iron Great Bows, drew them back with a cacophony of creaking sounds.

The Nanli honored martial bravery, often using Power Gu by Qi Refiners to train their bodies, wielding immense strength, and compensating for their range with Great Bows.

Chen Qing immediately swerved left and right, preventing them from locking onto him.

Whizzing sounds filled the air as an iron arrow narrowly missed Chen Qing, embedding itself in a large tree with a trunk as thick as an embrace, splintering the wood.

Glancing back, he saw those people chasing after him. Chen Qing had just run three miles when he saw earth churning on a barren mountain ahead.

The earlier middle-aged man with whom he sparred now held a cyan-colored Great Bow, channeling endless spiritual energy into the bow and launching an arrow toward him.

The cyan long arrow formed of spiritual energy exuded a palpable sense of danger even from afar.

The bow's power was stronger than a flying sword!

As the cyan long arrow whizzed toward him, Chen Qing waved his left sleeve, instantly dissipating it into nothingness.

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes, “A true ferocious tiger, holding off this monster while the Witch Sect's Yuan Qiu leads reinforcements to hunt him down!”

Chen Qing felt the frustration of being unable to leverage his full strength, with this man's Earth Gu being so bothersome, tunneling as soon as he couldn't win!

An uncanny resemblance to his Fog Gu.

Seeing the middle-aged archer preparing his bow again, Chen Qing turned into mist, sprinting dozens of meters, racing through the forest, dodging his aim.

Yuan Feng retracted his bow, “Xuanping sure is lucky. Although her Foundation Establishment attempt in the north failed, she managed to tame such a Tiger General!”

Beside him, a man laughed, “What of a Tiger General? When Master Yuan Qiu arrives, what chance does he stand?”

Yuan Feng shook his head, “Hurry Yuan Qiu here. I've roamed the Lancang River for thirty years, and this is my first time being beaten back head-on. If he didn't struggle against tunneling, he almost would've killed me!”

“This man's fierceness and decisive reactions match those of Yuan Qiu!”

Chen Qing dashed through the forest, hearing an eagle's screech from behind, turning to see Yuan Feng seated atop a massive black eagle, bowing an arrow aimed at him!

Chen Qing's anger flared. He didn't wish to battle again, just to find a place to live peacefully, yet now he faced another ambush!

He quickly pondered.

This so-called witch dared to hunt Xuanping only when she was gravely wounded, clearly inferior to Xuanping.

He needed a strong ally to lead a stable life, and Xuanping was the best candidate.

Firstly, he had saved her life, and secondly, this woman acted decisively, unlike these sneaky pursuers, who were full of treachery and deceit.

Seeing Yuan Feng about to shoot, Chen Qing felt the surrounding breeze, thinking, “Since you dare to fly and forgo the Earth Tunneling technique, don't blame me for my ruthlessness!”

He immediately vaulted onto the wind, fearlessly charging straight at Yuan Feng in mid-air!

Yuan Feng was shocked, launching a long arrow, but Chen Qing diffused it with a sleeve flick.

Yuan Feng spurred the black eagle toward distant peaks, intending to land and employ Earth Tunneling again.

Chen Qing wouldn't allow it, activating the Wind Butterfly, sprinting rapidly to catch up with Yuan Feng.

Using the Great Kui Sword Scripture, he summoned lightning from three meters around, striking with the might of thunder!

Yuan Feng couldn't dodge in time; he leaped from the black eagle in desperation.

Chen Qing's sword fell upon the black eagle, which let out a scream, reduced to shreds under his blade, debris falling.

Looking at Yuan Feng now suspended mid-air, he sent a forceful wind blowing him rapidly to the ground, attempting the Earth Tunneling Skill once more to escape.

Chen Qing's eyes glinted coldly. If this so-called Tiger General had only this level of skill, then this challenge was just right!

With your blood, my great feat shall be accomplished!
