Chapter 153: Chapter 138: Escaping and Mysterious River Water

Translator: 549690339

Whoosh!

When the stone grazed by his cheek, simply the wind it stirred up left a deep gash on his face, exposing the bone beneath.

Qi Ming couldn’t help but widen his eyes, and his breathing quickened.

He felt his scalp go numb.

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!

It wasn’t over yet.

The sound of air breaking continued one after another.

A large amount of shattered stones shot viciously in his direction.

“Inhale– ”

Qi Ming’s pupils shrank.

Without a moment of hesitation, he simultaneously activated the Breathing State and retreated at breakneck speed.

He didn’t want to experience the sensation of being hit by these stones head-on.

During the retreat,

Qi Ming barely managed to avoid the barrage of stones.

His distance from the battlefield grew further and further.

It wasn’t until he was about two hundred meters away that Qi Ming stopped.

His face showed a lingering fear.

And amidst that fear, there was a hint of disbelief.

“What level of power… is this?”

Qi Ming’s voice trembled slightly.

He was, after all, a prestigious Martial Arts Hall Master.

A powerful person who had perfected a Breathing Technique.

But now,

The mere aftershocks of the two’s battle were too much for him to bear.

In Qi Ming’s eyes, Li Hengkong already seemed like a heavenly god.

Just based on his performance at the Martial Arts Association’s morning event,

Qi Ming believed that if he fought against Li Hengkong, he wouldn’t even last a second.

Not to mention now.

Yet Chen Sheng

Could actually clash head-on with Li Hengkong and cause so much commotion.

For a moment,

A strong sense of defeat surged up from the depths of Qi Ming’s heart.

He lifted his head, trying to see the situation in the distant battlefield after the direct clash between the two.

But for some reason,

The surrounding rain curtain was so dense that it seemed abnormal.

With his eyesight, he could only vaguely see Chen Sheng standing still within the rain.

Looking at his massive figure,

Qi Ming couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

Fortunately,

Now there was an ancestor to take action.

Otherwise,

Relying solely on himself, even if he wanted to attach himself to the Power Sect, he probably wouldn’t be able to get past Chen Sheng.

Thinking about this,

Qi Ming’s gaze searched around Chen Sheng but never saw Li Hengkong’s figure.

But he didn’t worry.

Indeed,

Compared to Chen Sheng, Li Hengkong’s physique was far too small.

It was normal for him not to be able to see it.

Qi Ming thought this way in his heart.

He decided to wait quietly here.

He would wait till after Chen Sheng died, then approach.

On the other side,

At the center of the battlefield.

The collapsed ground formed a giant circular crater with a diameter of several dozen meters.

Rainwater constantly dripped into the pit, quickly raising the water level.

Scarlet-red droplets mixed with the already murky rainwater, continuously spreading out in all directions.

Drip. Drip.

Li Hengkong’s face displayed shock as his legs stumbled backward.

Soon,

His body lost its balance.

With a thud, he fell directly onto the ground, splashing water everywhere.

Unclear water mixed with blood splattered onto Li Hengkong, making him look extremely miserable.

He instinctively tried to stand up.

But as soon as his body was lifted, it couldn’t find any support and crashed back down to the ground. Whoosh- –

Water splashed once again.

On the ground,

Li Hengkong mechanically turned his head to look at his arm.

However,

All he saw was empty air. Just from exchanging one punch with Chen Sheng,

His arm was obliterated?

“No… It’s impossible.”

Li Hengkong was disheveled, his gaze unconsciously scanning the surroundings.

The swollen water around him was rising rapidly.

On the water’s surface floated scattered fragments of bone and flesh.

Their origin was self-evident.

Perhaps the impact of reality was just too intense,

Or perhaps his earlier disdain for Chen Sheng, combined with his current miserable state, had formed a huge gap in Li Hengkong’s heart, making him unwilling to face reality.

Looking at the severed end of his shoulder,

Li Hengkong’s expression gradually turned ferocious.

Boom!

His right palm slammed the ground forcefully, and his body instantly sprung up with the help of inertia.

His hair danced wildly, and his face looked like that of a madman.

Perhaps it was the remnants of reason in his mind that prompted him,

This time, Li Hengkong did not choose to directly confront Chen Sheng.

Instead, he used his smaller stature to slip under Chen Sheng’s body.

At the same time,

Rip-

The muscles in Li Hengkong’s legs beneath Chen Sheng swelled up in an instant, tearing apart his already loose trousers.

Simultaneously,

His right arm turned into a black thread, striking Chen Sheng’s vital point.

Li Hengkong was truly a seasoned martial artist.

Within just one punch, he realized that he was no match for Chen Sheng in terms of strength.

The only chance for victory was to take advantage of his own size, sneak into his opponent’s blind spot, and strike at his vital points!

As he saw it,

His fist was getting closer and closer to Chen Sheng’s vital point.

A sneer crossed Li Hengkong’s face.

In the end,

His fist firmly struck Chen Sheng’s vital point.

Clang! !

A sound like metal clashing erupted in an instant.

The next second,

“Ahh-

A piercing scream tore through the rain curtain.

From a distance,

Qi Ming’s face lit up with joy.

Although the thickening curtain of rain made it increasingly difficult for him to see the battlefield,

Such a heart-wrenching scream must mean that Chen Sheng was near death.

Thinking about how even a genius like Chen Sheng, who seemed unattainable to him, was about to fall at the hands of his own ancestor,

Qi Ming felt an inexplicable surge of joy in his heart.

Meanwhile,

At the center of the battlefield,

Li Hengkong, who had lost both arms, lay in the circular pit with lifeless eyes.

It seemed that what had just happened was too beyond his imagination, causing his brain to stop thinking.

“Are you satisfied with this level of power?”

A cold voice came from above.

Chen Sheng took a step forward and arrived in front of Li Hengkong.

His grayish-white beard and mustache were messily sticking to his face, and his complexion was extremely haggard.

As the voice rang out.

Li Hengkong slowly raised his head and looked at the indifferent Chen Sheng.

It seemed he wanted to say something.

But as soon as ne openea ms moutn, tne Diooa tnat naa Deen trappea In ms throat could no longer be suppressed and gushed out instantly.

Blood stained his chest.

At this point,

Li Hengkong gradually came to his senses.

He looked at the deep blue lines engraved on Chen Sheng’s body, and his eyes widened in an instant.

Li Hengkong’s legs flailed randomly on the ground, trying to distance himself from Chen Sheng.

“It…is you. ”

“Sure enough… It’s you!”

Li Hengkong’s face had lost its previous carefree demeanor.

All that remained was endless terror. “You’re the one who attacked the Disciple of Power Sect!”

At this point, he finally realized,

The one hiding the deepest was none other than Chen Sheng, standing right in front of him.

How ridiculous, just a few minutes ago, he still thought of Chen Sheng as a fish waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board.

Li Hengkong’s legs scraped the ground randomly, continuously retreating in the direction away from Chen Sheng.

As he spoke, his voice trembled even more.

It seemed that Chen Sheng’s punch earlier had completely shattered his courage.

“If you kill me, the people of Power Sect won’t let you go.”

“Zhao Zhenfeng knows about my visit to Quanjiang, but he doesn’t suspect you yet.”

“Let me go.”

“From now on, I’ll give you all of Kongming Martial Arts Gym’s resources with both hands. I can also-

However…

From beginning to end,

Li Hengkong’s mind had been silently calculating the distance.

At this moment, there was already a two-meter gap between him and Chen Sheng.

For a martial artist,

This distance meant nothing.

But if it’s for escaping…

Li Hengkong slightly raised his head.

Seeing that Chen Sheng was still standing in place and didn’t seem to approach him,

His face turned sharp.

Bang!

Li Hengkong’s leg muscles swelled up instantly.

Whoosh- –

Water splashed everywhere as Li Hengkong’s body dashed forward.

Without any hesitation,

Li Hengkong didn’t dare to say anything more, fearing that his unstable breathing would affect his speed.

He only wanted to escape from here as quickly as possible.

There was no need to frame Chen Sheng now.

As long as he truthfully told Zhao Zhenfeng about Chen Sheng’s performance,

With the way Power Sect operated, they would undoubtedly send people to capture Chen Sheng, who wouldn’t be able to escape no matter how strong he was!

Bang!

An airwave accompanied by a breaking air sound followed Li Hengkong as he charged forward.

But under the threat of the fear of death, the seriously injured Li Hengkong ran at the fastest speed of his life.

In the blink of an eye,

He had already run hundreds of meters and was continuously approaching Qi Ming’s position.

“Ancestor! ”

Seeing the short figure that broke through the rain curtain and dashed hundreds of meters towards him in the blink of an eye,

Qi Ming’s face couldn’t help but light up, and Gao Sheng called out.

Judging by the figure, it was undoubtedly Li Hengkong.

It seemed,

He had successfully killed Chen Sheng.

With the biggest obstacle in Quanjiang City removed,

Next, all they had to deal with were those insignificant small sects.

“Ancestor, what should we do next… ‘

Qi Ming shouted towards Li Hengkong who was rushing towards him.

The heavy rain continued to fall, and the sound of rain grew louder and louder.

It made him involuntarily raise his voice.

However,

Before he could finish speaking,

Whoosh!

Li Hengkong’s figure instantly passed him by, heading straight towards the river behind him.

Leaving Qi Ming standing in the rain, with his talking posture, looking particularly lonely.

Approaching.

Very close.

Seeing the river getting closer and closer to him,

Li Hengkong’s face showed a trace of ecstasy.

Step!

The river, bearing the massive impact, instantly raised a large spray of water.

Li Hengkong’s body stepped directly on the river’s surface and headed towards the distance.

Not until now did he dare to look back.

“Hahahaha!”

Seeing that Chen Sheng hadn’t caught up, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

As long as he could escape to Haizhou City without any problems and tell Zhao Zhenfeng about it,

Chen Sheng would still have to die no matter how strong he was!

Thinking this,

Bang!

His legs exerted force once more.

Li Hengkong’s speed increased again.

With each step, large splashes of water erupted from the river’s surface, mixing with the rain falling from the sky and drenching him.

However,

Not long after he started running,

Li Hengkong felt that something was wrong.

For some reason, he felt his body becoming heavier and heavier.

From top to bottom, it seemed as if it were loaded with a tremendous amount of pressure.

With every step taken,

Li Hengkong had to exert more and more effort to prevent himself from falling into the water.

But gradually,

The pressure grew larger and larger.

What’s going on?!

While running,

Li Hengkong’s eyes widened in shock and uncertainty.

It wasn’t until he looked down at his body that he realized there was nothing wrong with it.

On his body,

There was nothing but rainwater and clothes.

But Li Hengkong could distinctly feel that the pressure on his body was increasing at an extremely fast rate.

Finally,

Terror rapidly climbed onto Li Hengkong’s face.

Whoosh–

He couldn’t hold on any longer.

His body plunged completely into the river.

Once in the water,

Li Hengkong frantically moved his only remaining limbs to try to swim to the surface.

However, something strange had happened.

An endless amount of pressure suddenly transmitted from the water surrounding him, immobilizing him completely.

Gurgle–

The water flowed through the holes on his face, instantly filling his lungs and throat.

In the end,

Li Hengkong, who couldn’t struggle anymore,

Could only helplessly watch as his body sank deeper and deeper into the river, his consciousness gradually growing blurry..
