High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 122 - 101: Broken Strings and Thunder, A Good Tune Makes a Good Start (Triple Combo) (2)
He suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy pit, a shiver ran up his spine, and even his breath stopped for a moment.
Just a moment ago, those who went to the Chen Mansion to besiege Chen Kuang were three renowned strong warriors of the Moon Embrace Realm!
How could Chen Kuang still be alive?!
Even if he were alive, he should be barely clinging to life. How could he directly come to the Governor’s Mansion at this time?
What exactly is going on here...
Fan Hailong’s whole body stiffened, watching the figure getting closer, and the panic in his heart intensified.
He swallowed a gulp of saliva.
A thought became clearer and clearer in his mind, gradually occupying all his thoughts, but at this moment he wished he were a fool, not wanting to know what exactly this thought was...
But Chen Kuang didn’t give him this chance.
"Shush..."
The gallery of the Governor’s Mansion was hung with lanterns. The flickering lights illuminated the neatly paved marble path in the yard.
The wind and rain were blowing, causing the lanterns to flutter chaotically.
The young man held a qin, shrouded in the flickering light before the hall amidst the slanted wind and rain.
And the "corpse" on his back was another familiar face.
Not long ago, Fan Hailong had accompanied the governor to toast this person!
The Sect Leader of Yihuo Sect, Bai Fen!
In that instant, Fan Hailong’s legs turned weak. If not for his whole body being stiff and making it difficult for his legs to move, he would’ve almost staggered on the spot!
His face was extremely pale, eyes full of fear.
This was a true expert of Moon Embrace Realm, a master of the Martial Saint Pavilion!
Now, he had become a corpse on Chen Kuang’s back!
—Although the corpse’s eyes were still open, its consciousness seemed scattered. Yet, in Fan Hailong’s eyes, such a strong figure being carried on an enemy’s back was virtually no different from a corpse.
Moreover, as Chen Kuang got closer, Fan Hailong saw more clearly.
His entire back was already dyed red!
Blood poured out from Bai Fen’s body, soaking Chen Kuang’s back, then continuously dripped onto the ground, leaving a long trail that ran through the entire Governor’s Mansion.
Obviously, this person wouldn’t live much longer...
Fan Hailong knew this was neither an impostor nor a hallucination. The oppressive aura from Bai Fen’s body was still there, even more pronounced because it wasn’t restrained.
The facts were clear: Chen Kuang killed one... or even three Moon Embrace Realm cultivators, and braving the rain, came all the way from the South Pier to the Governor’s Mansion.
He came to kill!
"Patter! Patter! Patter! ..."
Each step sounded like a giant stone pressing on Fan Hailong’s heart, intensifying his psychological pressure.
Even his body began to tremble slightly with each step Chen Kuang took.
"Pop!"
A blood pearl shattered, flowing out of Bai Fen’s seven orifices, hitting the step, leaving a bright yet eerie blossom.
Finally, Chen Kuang stopped. He halted before Fan Hailong, standing at the front of the corridor, looking at him.
He smiled gently and said slowly:
"I’ll give you three breaths’ time. You can start running now."
In an instant, fear in Fan Hailong’s heart exploded like a mountain torrent!
Without any hesitation, he immediately turned and fled!
Fan Hailong used the fastest speed of his life, mobilizing every ounce of Spiritual Qi in his body to fully empower his legs, breaking through the wind and rain to rush out of the Governor’s Mansion.
He just wished he had two more legs to run even faster!
What Cao Bang, what Jishao County, what son, he didn’t care for any of it!
He only wanted one thing: to live!
How strong must a cultivator who killed three Moon Embrace Realm warriors be?
A Grandmaster, definitely a Grandmaster!!
Fan Hailong had lost the ability to think, his mind filled only with Bai Fen’s blood-dripping face and Chen Kuang’s slowly approaching footsteps.
The drops of blood seemed to be flowing out of his own body, taking away all his body warmth and courage.
How fast can a Peak of Tower Climbing Realm run at full strength?
Chen Kuang looked at the chain of giant pits left on the Governor’s Mansion buildings, which were left in a line and got an understanding.
He looked down at the two fingers of his empty left hand joined together; fortunately, he had already stuck the "Imprisonment" talisman on Fan Hailong.
—This talisman came from Shi Youguang’s storage bag, a high-level Qiankun Art of Divination, capable of trapping an enemy in place. With a thought from the practitioner, it could bring the enemy back to the original place. Once used, the talisman becomes ineffective.
Chen Kuang didn’t expect that his deliberate intimidation tactic would frighten Fan Hailong so much...
In fact, given the disparity in cultivation levels between Chen Kuang and Fan Hailong.
The words just now should have originally come from Fan Hailong for logic’s sake.
Moreover, for Chen Kuang, Fan Hailong’s threat was far greater than Bai Fen’s.
Because the gap in cultivation wasn’t too large, the passive effect of "Indestructible Presence" was more than just slightly inferior.
It should basically be only about one-fifth as effective.
Therefore, Chen Kuang chose to tie Bai Fen on himself as a "power bank"—of course, this was also a new attempt.
Additionally, to create the utmost psychological pressure, he first hid outside the Governor’s Mansion, trying to create a sudden appearance effect.
Thanks to the passive effect "You Can’t See Me," this step was completed smoothly.
Then, it was time for the "corpse" of Bai Fen on his back and his acting skills to come into play.
