Huh?
Chen Fan looked back.
He saw a woman in black armor lying in the bushes by the cliff.
That woman was covered in blood, and her armor had cracked, revealing spider-web-like fissures.
A mask was still on the woman’s face.
But the mask had broken, with only more than half of it still covering her face.
Chen Fan landed and slowly approached, asking hesitantly, “Are you Zhen Qing… Deputy Commander Zhen?”
The woman lying on the ground, barely breathing, said, “Yes… it’s me.”
Chen Fan: “…”
Lin Xiao had mentioned before that a female black-armored powerhouse had followed Hong Quan, only to be discovered by him, seriously injured, and then kicked off the cliff.
Was that female black-armored powerhouse Zhen Qing?
Chen Fan glanced at the blood on the edge of the cliff next to Zhen Qing.
It was apparent that Zhen Qing had climbed up from the bottom of the cliff.
Chen Fan quickly stepped forward and helped Zhen Qing up, “Was it Hong Quan who beat you? Deputy Commander Zhen, why do you always suffer so much whenever I meet you?”
Zhen Qing’s face turned pale, and she spewed a mouthful of blood.
Chen Fan: “Hey! I was only joking; you don’t need to be so angry that you vomit blood, right?”
Zhen Qing couldn’t speak as blood gushed from her mouth.
Chen Fan took a bottle of elixir from his pocket.
It was the one his Master Zhang Hai had given him before, made using the Blood Petal Flower King.
However, Chen Fan hesitated after taking out the elixir and asked, “Deputy Commander Zhen, what is your current cultivation level?”
Zhen Qing coughed twice, her voice faint and mosquito-like, “Five… Fifth Grade First Layer Heaven.”
“That’s troublesome,” Chen Fan said, “This bottle of elixir is made from the blood and petals of the Blood Petal Flower King, but it’s not very useful for those in the Fifth Grade and above.”
Zhen Qing gasped and said, “Give me… two.”
Chen Fan didn’t move, “You’re in the Fifth Grade, and it’s not very useful for the Fifth Grade, so it’s kind of wasteful.”
Zhen Qing, not knowing whether it was because of anger or too severe injuries, started vomiting blood again.
Upon seeing this, Chen Fan relented, deciding not to worry about it for now.
He took out three dark green elixirs and placed them in Zhen Qing’s mouth.
There was still some effect…
After swallowing the three elixirs, Zhen Qing stopped vomiting blood, her face improved greatly, and her breathing stabilized.
Zhen Qing turned her head and looked at the bottle of elixir in Chen Fan’s hand.
Chen Fan frowned, took out three more elixirs, put them in Zhen Qing’s mouth, and muttered, “This elixir is a treasure for those below the Fifth Grade; only you could eat it like peanuts.”
“Sigh, last time you were pursued and killed, at least you could fight the enemy, but now you can’t even move; you’re just too miserable…”
Zhen Qing glared at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan continued, “When you came out to track Hong Quan, didn’t you think to bring the Golden Gyrfalcon with you?”
“If you had brought the Golden Gyrfalcon, you might not have been able to win, but you should have been able to escape.”
Zhen Qing wanted to vomit blood from anger.
Chen Fan continued, “It was too dangerous…”
“This area happens to be on the edge of the impact from the Starlight Destruction Cannon.”
“If you had gone a little further, you would have been killed by Hong Quan or even by the Starlight Destruction Cannon.”
Zhen Qing’s face changed slightly, and she whispered, “What happened?”
“Oh…” Chen Fan said, “The Abyss over there is the Array Core of the Nightmare Hall’s Array, and I couldn’t destroy it, so I contacted East Sea City to have them blast it with the Starlight Destruction Cannon.”
Zhen Qing blinked and looked over there.
She had seen the Starlight Destruction Cannon firing earlier.
Chen Fan had flown over from there.
How did this guy survive the bombardment of the Starlight Destruction Cannon?
“How did you climb up from the bottom of the cliff?”
Before Zhen Qing could ask, Chen Fan had already leaned over to look at the cliff.
Zhen Qing said, “Hong Quan kicked me off the cliff, but I was caught by a big tree, or else… ”
Chen Fan nodded and was about to speak.
Suddenly, his body tensed up instantly!
“What’s wrong?”
Zhen Qing sensed Chen Fan’s anomaly.
Chen Fan put his finger to his lips, making a “hush” gesture.
Then, he gently pointed downward at the bottom of the cliff.
Zhen Qing strained her neck to look downward, instantly becoming tense!
At the bottom of the cliff, a figure was leaping and bounding among the chaotically piled rocks.
Hong Quan!
After the Array Core was destroyed, Hong Quan had actually run back to Crescent Mountain!
Trouble…
Chen Fan grew nervous.
Once Hong Quan saw the bombardment scene of the Starlight Destruction Cannon, he would definitely climb up the cliff to check.
He couldn’t get very far carrying Zhen Qing with him!
In fact, even without Zhen Qing, how could he possibly outrun Hong Quan, who was at the Fifth Level Fourth Layer level?
That old monster casually dashed through the piles of rocks at the bottom, as if walking on flat ground, disappearing in the blink of an eye!
Without thinking, Chen Fan picked up Zhen Qing and ran!
Zhen Qing’s face flushed slightly:
However, Chen Fan had only run about fifty meters before stopping at a huge stone fissure.
Chen Fan placed Zhen Qing inside the fissure.
Zhen Qing looked puzzled, “Chen Fan, what are you trying to do?”
Chen Fan whispered, “That old monster will definitely come up the cliff to check later.”
“You hide here, and I’ll go in the opposite direction to attract his attention.”
Zhen Qing panicked, “No! That old monster is already at Fifth Level Fourth Layer Heaven; you won’t be able to escape!”
Chen Fan moved a rock to seal the fissure, saying, “Don’t worry, I have a way to save my life.”
