Zu An felt discouraged. Chen Xuan’s cultivation was higher than his, so his speed was obviously much greater as well.
Even though the Sunflower Phantasm movement technique was formidable, it only excelled in short distance maneuvering.
Of course, if he wasn’t restricted on his uses of Grandgale, he would have already left Chen Xuan far behind him.
“Do you not have anyone you can still use to get us out of here?” Zu An asked in panic. Those in the meeting hall were all the higher level figures of the gang, but if these people wanted to rebel, there was no way they could contact everyone ahead of time, right? Otherwise, news of the betrayal would have leaked out a long time ago.
But Zheng Dan would shake her head and said, “I am only rarely on the island. These subordinates are practically all under Liu Chan’s control.”
Zu An was completely speechless. “Aren’t you just a bit too much of a failure of a gang boss?”
Zheng Dan was also embarrassed. The main reason was that she still had the status of the Zheng clan’s young miss, and that she was going to become a madam in the future. She didn’t really have much interest in the world of violence and blood either, which was why this type of thing happened.
When Chen Xuan was about to catch up, someone suddenly rushed out and stood in his way.
Chen Xuan roared out, “Fuck off!”
That person vomited blood from their first exchange.
However, that person didn’t stop at all. He continued to fight against Chen Xuan. “Gang boss, you need to get away!”
“Ya Xiao!” Zheng Dan couldn’t help but feel moved when she saw his bloodied body clinging to Chen Xuan’s leg. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
“We should hurry and escape. Don’t let his actions be wasted.” When he saw how she began to have thoughts of turning back, Zu An quickly pulled her and continued to run.
Zheng Dan bit down on her lower lip until a bit of blood even came out. She was clearly full of anger and hatred.
“You can only get revenge if you stay alive.” Zu An was worried that she might do something stupid, so he warned again.
Zheng Dan trembled. She suddenly remembered that she had been poisoned by that filthy medicine, so her ending would be extremely bitter if she stayed behind. She thus gave up on thoughts of going back.
She muttered to herself, “Ya Xiao didn’t even know what I looked like all these years, nor did he know who I was. I’m truly sorry…”
Zu An sighed. “This world will always have young lads willing to risk their lives for those they love…”
I definitely won’t do something that stupid.
But he then quickly recalled his experiences in the dungeon. Didn’t he also risk danger this time to save Zheng Dan?
I guess we’re all idiots. What right do I have to mock him?
The two already reached shore. There was a hidden dock within the reeds that was connected to a small boat.
Zu An didn’t have time to undo the rope. He hacked through it with his Poisonous Prick, and then he jumped on with Zheng Dan before frantically rowing.
Unfortunately, he had never operated a boat before, so he had no idea how to do it. The more strength he used, the more the small boat spun about in place.
Zheng Dan couldn’t help but smile. This was the first time she saw him in such a silly state. She quickly said, “Let me do it.”
She stopped Lin Xi while rolling up her sleeves. The water surface rippled, and then the small boat shot out in a straight line.
“What the heck? You’ll make a killing if you start a ferrying business!” Zu An sighed in admiration.
Zheng Dan: “……”
What kind of situation were they in? What was wrong with this guy’s head?
An air shattering noise sounded behind him at this time. Zu An turned around and saw Chen Dan running crazily on the water surface, his face red as he charged at their boat.
“Why the heck do you have this kind of superpower too?!” Zu An was stunned. Wasn’t this guy only sixth rank? Why was he flying now?
But he quickly reacted that this shouldn’t be too difficult for those of higher cultivation levels.
Zheng Dan clenched her teeth. She stood up, and then she pushed backwards. A huge wave surged behind them.
It was only a foot tall in the beginning, but the wave grew larger and larger, eventually reaching several zhang in height.
Zu An’s eyes completely widened. That sweet-tempered and delicate appearance he was used to seeing was completely an act!
Sigh, why were all the women at his side so tough?
Chen Xuan didn’t become flustered when he saw this huge wave. He drew his long blade.
He didn’t use his blade when he fought against Chu Yucheng and Chu Hongcai in Immortal Abode, but he used it this time.
A trace of cold light flashed past. Blade energy condensed into a giant sword mirage in midair, and then it hacked down.
It almost felt as if this blade could completely cleave Brightmoon River in half.
The tremendous blade energy hacked apart the huge wave in front of him. Then, the power continued to travel forward, striking towards the small boat. Chen Xuan clearly wanted to destroy their boat so that they wouldn’t have any way to escape.
Zheng Dan’s arms crossed in front of her. A screen of water formed in front of her and blocked that overbearing sword energy.
Pfft!
Blood spurted out from Zheng Dan’s mouth. Her body looked like it had been rammed into by a carriage, flying out uncontrollably and about to fall into the water.
Zu An reached out a hand at once to carry her. However, he was also knocked up a bit from that tremendous force.
“What’s wrong?” Zu An asked with concern when he saw the blood trickling down the corners of her lips. Her body’s temperature was also incredibly hot.
Zheng Dan groaned, her voice terrifyingly soft and delicate. “It’s nothing… it’s just that…”
She could finish her sentence. After all, this type of thing was just too embarrassing for a young lady.
“Why do you look like you drank some aphrodisiac?” Zu An mumbled to himself. Her face was blushing crazily and her eyes were misty. He wasn’t unfamiliar with this sight.
Snow was the exact same back then.
