Chapter 193: A Trade

Young master Fang, whats going on?! Li Daoyes head popped in from the entrance, only to be shocked by what he saw. Who in the world is that black-cloaked man?

Attack, Fang Chen suddenly ordered.

He pushed Chaoxianggong Nisheng aside and tossed ten Purple Lightning Talismans at the black-cloaked man. Li Daoye also didnt slip up at this critical moment and unhesitatingly threw all of his remaining Purple Lightning Talismans over.

Then, the two of them fled without bothering to see the outcome of their attack.

Explosions ensued. Blinding light suffused the palace as the black-cloaked man was bombarded by frightening purple lightning bolts.

By the time the lightning dissipated, Fang Chen, Li Daoye, and Chaoxianggong Nisheng were nowhere to be seen. The ki stones, Blood Ginseng, Scarlet Fruits, and sword embryo that were on the jade pedestal had also disappeared.

The black-cloaked man fell silent. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he tossed Li Xiuming aside as if he was trash and walked out of the palace.

Then, he morphed into a surge of dim light as he rushed down the hill.

Cough cough cough! Li Xiuming coughed violently as he struggled to his feet.

He had lost 90% of his blood essence, such that he looked more like a skeleton covered in skin. It would take years for him to recover from such depletion.

Ha, ha

Li Xiuming revealed a savage smile as he felt an adrenaline rush from surviving the ordeal. He might have lost the items on the jade pedestal, but at least he survived. As long as there was a breath left in him, he could get back everything that he had lost!

That lad took Nisheng with him? It matters not. She wont live long given the severity of her injuries. As for that black-cloaked man, his target seems to be that lad Li Xiuming narrowed his eyes in viciousness as he realized that Fang Chen might have used him. That bastard might have known that it was dangerous here.

What a close shave. We could have sustained severe injuries if that ferocious beast didnt suddenly back off, Xia Yuns voice suddenly echoed from the entrance.

Li Xiuming quickly walked out of the palace and feebly stretched his hand toward the trio, asking, Do you have any blood replenishment pills?

You are?!

Xia Yun and his two juniors were taken aback, as they stared at Li Xiuming in uncertainty.

I am Li Xiuming, Li Xiuming said.

You What happened to you? Wheres your junior sister? Also, have you seen our other two companions? Liu Suifeng asked with a frown.

Li Xiuming bitterly replied, We found quite a few ki stones, a sword embryo, and a Blood Ginseng in here, but my junior sister colluded with your two companions to deplete my blood essence so that they can monopolize the treasures.

W-wait Chaoxianggong Nisheng panicked. She couldnt believe how fast Fang Chen had changed his attitude. I only said that I cant impart our Everchange Mountains cultivation art to you, but our Chaoxianggong Clan has its own ego nurturing method too. I can use that to strike a deal with you.

You should have said so earlier.

Fang Chen turned around, picked up Chaoxianggong Nisheng, and continued fleeing.

A minute later, Li Daoye and Fang Chen widened their eyes in realization. I didnt expect it to be so easy.

Fang Chen fulfilled his promise and fed Chaoxianggong Nisheng a 100-year-old Scarlet Fruit. Her complexion swiftly improved.

Our clans ego nurturing method is much simpler, so it only works on mid Yellow-tier artifacts and below, Chaoxianggong Nisheng said.

Young master Fang, that black-cloaked man clearly possesses exceptional means. I dont think well be able to escape from him just like that, right? Li Daoye asked.

Take these ki stones, Blood Ginseng, Scarlet Fruits, and sword embryo. Ill lure him away, Fang Chen passed the items to Li Daoye as he said.

Li Daoye was stunned. What are you saying?! Youll lure him away?

Who else is going to do that? You? Fang Chens eyebrows shot up.

Haha, you can do it. Youre the stronger one, Li Daoye sheepishly replied.

Fang Chen nodded. They quickly split ways.

Hes a true gentleman its really rare to see people like him nowadays, Chaoxianggong Nisheng said feebly.

Am I not one? Dont forget that Im the one carrying you now. Li Daoye harrumphed in displeasure as he continued sprinting toward the entrance.

Seconds later, he asked, Miss, are you engaged?

Let me down. I have mostly recovered, Chaoxianggong Nisheng coldly replied.

Meanwhile, Fang Chen had fled for at least thirty kilometers. He had avoided some dangers along the way as if he could predict the future, but the black-cloaked man still managed to catch up with him and block his way.

The stone fae and the bat fae were here too. The three of them sealed off his path of retreat.

You sure are good at running, the black-cloaked man sneered.
