Chapter 666: To Feel Shaken and Afraid

The difference in condensation of strength and duration of use between the Battle Qi of the realm of True Essence and the realm of Great Fulfilment was quite large. Despite escaping with all his might to the point of being unable to put aside any Battle Qi for his own defense, Ren Youran could not outrun Ling Chuxi.

With a wave of Ling Chuxi’s sword, a vaguely illusionary sword shadow landed solidly on Ren Youran’s back. He let out a miserable yelp and a burst of blood sputtered behind him. Yet, he borrowed the might of this attack to propel his escape at an even faster speed.

Ling Chuxi stopped and no longer continued to pursue him. Ren Youran’s meridians were gravely injured by his use of self-imploding Battle Qi, and now that he had been struck by her attack, death was the only end left for him sooner or later.

Ren Youran naturally also knew how grave his own situation was and therefore escaped even more anxiously. With such serious injuries, his only chance of living was by meeting Chu Fengyun. Furthermore, the news of Ling Chuxi’s safe return was also something that definitely needed to be made known to Chu Fengyun as fast as possible. Bringing such important news to Chu Fengyun could still be considered a small merit, right?

Ren Youran’s figure had already disappeared off into the distance and the surroundings remained dead silent.

The sharp ray of Ling Chuxi’s sword just now seemed to have stood still before the soldiers’ eyes, and they were unable to forget the sight of it for a long time.

‘Good thing we didn’t attack urgently, otherwise, it is fearful that there wouldn’t even be any pulp left of us,’ thought all the soldiers to themselves, feeling grateful.

The city lord shaped like a meatball was totally stunned to the point of sluggishness. In his heart, Ren Youran was a being who could only be looked up to, and yet as it turns out, he did not even have the courage to exchange blows properly with others. He had displayed such a great, prestigious and imposing manner in order to actually only escape with his life. Furthermore, his escape was not even all that smooth and he was even slashed in midair by his opponent’s sword till his blood was spraying wildly. From how things looked, he would not make it. Given this turn of events, the city lord did not even dare to directly look at Ling Chuxi now.

‘Oh, heavens. Where did this star of misfortune appear from? How did I manage to provoke such a formidable opponent? If I had known of her capabilities earlier, I might as well have stayed hidden in my manor and listened to my concubine play a tune on the qin and the flute. Having a high position sounds nice, but how could a dead official with a high position be desirable as compared to a living carefree and free life as the city lord of Gu Yang City?” Now as the meatball looked at Ling Chuxi’s beautiful face and slender body, he did not dare to direct any improper thoughts towards her anymore and his heart even felt regretful to the point of dying.

“You. Get up,” commanded Ling Chuxi coldly as she pointed at the city lord.

“I’m not sure why you would want me to do that… Welcome, most respected senior. I have been lacking. Lacking in my delay of welcoming you and hope that you won’t hold this against me,” said the city lord without bothering about status any longer as he stood up and started to stammer appeasements. ‘Oh, God up above, please protect me. Old heavens please have eyes. May the young maiden before me not casually wave her blade and put an end to me.’

“Do you still remember what I said to you earlier?” Ling Chuxi asked.

“What?” the city lord had been shocked into idiocy and his head was all foggy.

Ling Chuxi’s brows straightened into a line as her eyes became chilly.

“Ah… yes, yes, I recall. Ten fast horses, the fastest ones we have. Ten catties of clear water, ten catties of dry rations, and ten catties of beef. Hey, you, go quickly, go quickly. Get these things for her,” ordered the city lord, waving his stubby arms about as he jumped and leapt around after suddenly experiencing a blessing in memory and finally recalled Ling Chuxi’s requests earlier on.

The soldiers couldn’t wish for more and once they received the chance to sneak off upon hearing this order, they immediately got moving. No one noticed how great of a difficulty the city lord’s request was. Fast horses were aplenty, but that much beef and clear water was truly not so easy to find within such short notice.

Very quickly, the things Ling Chuxi requested for were properly prepared. Ling Chuxi, Jiang Wuhen and Li Shaoqiu mounted the horses, no longer bothered about the city lord and the rest, and continued to directly rush towards Shi Qu Town.

Only a long while after Ling Chuxi, Jiang Wuhen and Li Shaoqiu left did the city lord plop to the ground on his butt and took large rough breaths, gasping for air. Standing before Ling Chuxi just now, he was so tense to the point that he did not even dare to take a breath.

“Lord City Lord, are you all right?” asked an approaching soldier cautiously.
