Seeing the crowd's excitement, those who had just spoken suddenly lowered their heads, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
"It seems that I am the only one who can draw away that Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert. Once I lead him away, you should hurry back to Snow Wind Island. It should be safe once you reach Snow Wind Island," Xing Chen said after furrowing his brows and pondering for a while.
"But what about you? You already know that the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm is definitely not something you can handle. Aren't you just going to your death?" the White-Clad Girl immediately replied.
"I'm not planning to confront him directly. Although I can't defeat him, I should still be able to escape," Xing Chen said lightly.
Then, he communicated with the Lightning Eagle, which had been circling in the air, and it immediately screeched before flying down.
"With it around, even a Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert won't be able to catch me at sea," Xing Chen said as he looked at the descending Lightning Eagle.
"Is that really a Lightning Eagle? In the Yang Spirit Realm, no one can match its speed. If we have its assistance, escaping from a Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm pursuit is not impossible," the White-Clad Girl exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with astonishment.
"The person is already here. You all stay alert; I will draw him away," Xing Chen said as he jumped onto the back of the Lightning Eagle. Immediately, the Lightning Eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky.
"Hmph, who knows if this Rascal is running away or trying to draw the enemy away," someone in the crowd remarked as they saw Xing Chen leave.
"I think he must be running away. Even a Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert can't catch up to a Lightning Eagle at sea. However, catching up to this broken ship is definitely not a problem for him. He must have realized this point and decided to flee," another person added.
"That makes sense; this guy is too cunning. Moreover, he must have already looted all the treasures on this ship."
Watching the crowd buzzing with discussion, the White-Clad Girl couldn't help but feel some doubt about Xing Chen's motives. Could it really be as everyone speculated?
In fact, they were not wrong at all; Xing Chen indeed wanted to escape because there was only one way to die on that ship. Thus, he used the excuse of drawing away the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert to flee.
However, what he could never have imagined was that the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert had set his sights on him. The pirate ship was not even glanced at as he directly pursued Xing Chen.
This Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert was named Nie Yuanwu, the strongest individual on Evil Wind Island aside from the island master. The Fate Divine Pill was prepared specifically for him, and once he consumed it, he would have over a ninety percent chance of breaking through to the Gaze of Fate.
He had originally come to assist the pirates, but as he got closer to Xing Chen and the Pirate Leader on the ship, the commotion from their battle was so great that it caught Nie Yuanwu's attention from afar. He immediately realized something must have gone wrong with the pirate ship and rushed over in a hurry, but he was still a step too late.
Just as he was about to reach the pirate ship, Xing Chen had already mounted the Lightning Eagle and fled from it. This infuriated Nie Yuanwu; however, since his Soul Mark was on the Black Iron Box containing the Fate Divine Pill, he could still sense Xing Chen's escape.
"You stole my things; even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will bring you back," Nie Yuanwu said angrily. As a Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert, although he could not fly yet, he could walk on water as if it were solid ground. His various movement techniques allowed him to move at a speed that was hardly slower than that of the Lightning Eagle.
"Peat, you actually came after me," Xing Chen thought as he released his Soul Power and sensed Nie Yuanwu less than ten miles away. This made him feel an urge to curse; he had intended to use this situation to escape but ended up becoming bait instead.
"Hate Emperor, do you have any way to deal with this Rascal? If I can't take him down, I might end up being taken down myself," Xing Chen gritted his teeth and asked.
"I can't help you; your strength is too weak. You are only at the Sun Soul Threefold Peak level. Although you can condense the Hate Demon Sword and Hate Demon Armor, you cannot unleash their full power. It would be quite difficult to deal with someone from the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm," Hate Emperor replied calmly.
"I just want to know how to eliminate him or if there's any way to escape. I don't want him following me like a ghost," Xing Chen said as he glanced back at Nie Yuanwu behind him.
"Don't you know the Five Elements Escape Technique? The sea is right below us; with your current cultivation level, you can slip away nearly a hundred miles in an instant. Moreover, we are not far from Snow Wind Island. If you use it a few more times, you'll reach Snow Wind Island," Hate Emperor suggested.
"Looks like there's no other way." Xing Chen said, and instantly jumped down from the Lightning Eagle, landing with a 'splash' into the vast ocean. Immediately, a faint black light flickered around Xing Chen's body, and he vanished from his original spot, reappearing on the surface of the sea several hundred miles away.
"What kind of secret technique is this? It's incredibly powerful!" Nie Yuanwu's expression changed slightly. Gritting his teeth, a fierce look appeared in his eyes: "No matter what, I can't let him escape. Otherwise, how can I break through to the Gaze of Fate?"
At that moment, Xing Chen had already used the Water Escape Technique several times and was now two to three hundred miles away from Snow Wind Island. As long as he used the technique three or four more times, he would completely reach Snow Wind Island.
"I can't hesitate any longer; I have to go all out!" Nie Yuanwu exclaimed. Suddenly, a dense blood light erupted from his body, and in an instant, his entire form transformed into a streak of blood light shooting forward like a meteor streaking across the sky. He flew several hundred miles in an instant, maintaining his speed as he pursued Xing Chen.
"What the hell? Is he going against fate? He dares to use Blood Shadow Escape so casually?" Xing Chen turned his head to see that the blood light had already closed in to about thirty miles behind him and was rapidly approaching.
Blood Shadow Escape is a low-grade technique; although its speed is astonishing—allowing one to escape thousands of miles—the aftereffects are extremely severe. It is a technique only used in life-and-death crises.
I didn't expect this Nie Yuanwu to be so reckless. In the process of chasing Xing Chen, he actually used Blood Shadow Escape. This technique burns one's life force; using it once can reduce one's lifespan by nearly ten years. How much lifespan is Nie Yuanwu willing to waste just to chase me down?
