Black Uncle looked at the two people in front of him and shook his head, while wearing a solemn expression. The world was dangerous, and they must be careful when outside.
Because of this, while one was traveling, one mustn’t hurry up too much. One must keep speed at a degree low enough that any exhausted energy could be recovered, and it was like this that one could form a virtuous cycle.
If one exhausted his energy, his power would be weak, and once he ran into danger, the consequences would be too horrible to contemplate.
People who traveled at such a high speed like Jiang Chen and the blue-clothed woman were only digging their own graves, and they would lose the ability to fight in less than a day.
However, Black Uncle knew well the blue-clothed woman’s temper and was aware that he mustn’t obstruct her. If the princess threw a tantrum, he wouldn’t be able to deal with her.
“Let me see how fast you are.”
Jiang Chen, hearing the woman’s voice, was startled. He had assumed that he had already shaken her off and didn’t expect that she could overtake him.
“Inherited bloodline? Azure Phoenix’s bloodline?”
After Jiang Chen observed the woman carefully, he discovered a pair of faintly visible wings behind her back, and they were formed by blue energy. She was waving the wings at the same pace as she moved around, and her speed was only becoming higher.
“So this is the case,” Jiang Chen recalled that the Sovereign Spirit Palace had Sovereign Spirits, while the Martial God Palace had divine souls, and the Xia Clan had bloodlines.
The attributes of the Azure Phoenix’s bloodline were different than the Celestial Phoenix that had a fire attribute, and its attribute was closer to the wind element. This was why people who inherited its bloodline possessed peerless movement techniques.
Moreover, since this woman was at the Martial Emperor Realm’s late stage, it would be easy for her to overtake an intermediate-stage Martial Emperor.
However, it was a pity that she had run into Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen felt like he would end up plagued with trouble and he would waste a long time if he ended up obstructed by her.
“Swiftness!” Jiang Chen muttered softly, as he used the Swiftness Concept, and as he combined it along with his wind and lightning power, his speed rose drastically by several fold.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The blue-clothed woman, who was about to overtake Jiang Chen, looked stunned.
After Jiang Chen raised his speed, it could be seen that his body almost tore the space membrane apart, and he left a fire trail behind him. It was formed from his friction against the air.
The blue-clothed woman started lowering her speed because she realized that she couldn’t overtake him. However, if she came to a sudden stop while running at such a high speed, her body would sustain heavy injuries, and it might be even shattered apart like glass. That was why she had to lower her speed slowly.
While the blue-clothed woman was still unwilling to accept such an outcome, Jiang Chen changed his direction, and he ran toward the blue-clothed woman.
“Princess, be careful!”
The armed soldiers behind the princess were startled, and they assumed that Jiang Chen had vile designs. That was why several people at the front took out crossbows.
“Wait! Don’t attack!” Black Uncle had discerned something, and he quickly asked them to stop.
The soldiers didn’t even have enough time to question Black Uncle, as everything occurred and ended in an instant.
Jiang Chen went toward the blue-clothed woman, held her waist, and jumped into midair.
Meanwhile, the ground beneath their feet exploded, and scalding energy that possessed great destructive power emanated from there.
The soldiers couldn’t evade the energy in time, and they all gave up their horses, and jumped away from the vicinity.
When the mechanical horses came in contact with that energy, they were all shattered to pieces.
Jiang Chen, who was in the air, turned, and he landed several yards from the soldiers, before he took out his sword decisively.
The armed soldiers, who had gone through 100 battles, understood that they had suffered an attack, and, if Jiang Chen hadn’t intervened in time, their princess would have died.
“It’s there!” They all managed to discern where the attacks had come from by depending upon their sharp senses, and they shot arrows at the region.
“Don’t chase after him, and protect the princess.”
Black Uncle passed an order, while the group of armed soldiers were separated into two groups, one encircled the carriage, while another went toward Jiang Chen.
The person in the dark didn’t launch another attack, and the armed soldiers protected the startled princess, before they escorted her back to the carriage.
“Little brother, many thanks.” After Black Uncle ascertained that the princess hadn’t suffered any harm, he went toward Jiang Chen and expressed his thanks.
“I’m preoccupied with something important. So please ask your people to stop acting so willfully,” Jiang Chen spoke coldly. He had scared them two times in a row, but they were all on the main road, and he didn’t need to pay attention to other people’s feelings.
“Little brother, wait for a moment!” Black Uncle asked Jiang Chen to stop, and when he faced Jiang Chen’s irritated gaze, he took out a toy-like mechanical horse from his sleeves.
When Black Uncle put the mechanical horse on the ground, it quickly became tall, robust, and powerful. Moreover, it let out a neigh and it raised its front legs high and trampled the ground.
“This is a Sky Flying Horse. Little brother, since you have an urgency, it will be quite suitable for you,” Black Uncle said.
Jiang Chen became slightly embarrassed. Regardless of what the blue-clothed woman had done and gone through, this middle-aged man was still too warmhearted.
“Elder, I’m sorry, I have been slightly anxious,” Jiang Chen said as he didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the Sky Flying Horse.
This mechanical horse’s surface shone with a metallic glint, and it was better than the armed soldiers’ horses by many times.
Since Jiang Chen now had this horse, he could manage to leave the Absolute Sky Field in less than a day.
“It’s us who were too cautious,” Black Uncle said, as he thanked him again. He was quite considerate.
“It seems now that it was good of you to be prudent,” Jiang Chen said.
“That is really the case.”
Black Uncle looked at the pothole made on the ground by the explosion. He still had a lingering fear!
“Officer Black, we have investigated it and found out that it was done by a Demonic Wave Cannon,” a soldier came over to report after doing an investigation.
“A Demonic Wave Cannon? Is it the Nether World School’s killers?”
This weapon was one of the Nether World School’s symbols like the Void Escape Technique, and it was even a symbol for their gold-medal killers.
“It’s Horse-Face and Ox-Head!” Another soldier who had searched the jungle had gotten some more clues.
“It seems as if our whereabouts have been exposed, and we must quickly leave this place. Let’s start using the Sky Horses Running Amok in the Air Formation.” Black Uncle realized how grave this affair was, and he passed down an order decisively.
“Officer, we don’t have enough mechanical horses, and we can’t use Running Amok in the Air Formation,” the soldier spoke awkwardly.
Sky Horses Running Amok in the Air referred to forming a square-shaped formation with sprinting horses with the carriage in the middle. If they had enough yuan stones, they would manage to travel on the road at a high speed.
Black Uncle recalled the mechanical horses destroyed previously, and he looked subconsciously at the one possessed by Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn’t say anything. If Black Uncle wanted the horse back, he would give it to him.
“Little friend, Sky Horses Running Amok in the Air Formation’s speed is higher than a Flying Sky Horse, and, if you want to leave this land, why don’t you join our caravan?” Uncle Black didn’t ask for the horse. He took the middle road.
“I don’t have a problem with this,” Jiang Chen agreed, after considering this offer and finding it pretty good.
Thereafter, Jiang Chen rode a Flying Sky Horse, came to the carriage’s side, and started setting a formation with them.
The blue-clothed woman had already gotten over her fright, and when she saw Jiang Chen riding with them, she looked confused.
Black Uncle informed the woman about what had occurred, and she asked, “What is your name?”
“Jiang Chen.”
“Where did you come from, and where are you going?” The blue-clothed woman continued asking questions, and she wore an aggressive look.
“I came from the Western Plain, and I’m going to the northeast. Moreover, you don’t need to thank me, I didn’t do any more than save your life,” Jiang Chen spoke in mockery.
The blue-clothed woman looked embarrassed. She had a haughty and arrogant character, and she couldn’t accept this matter. Moreover, she still had other doubts.
“The Nether World School will usually send over a chess piece, which they will sacrifice to trick people,” the blue-clothed woman spoke coldly.
An ill feeling welled up in Jiang Chen’s heart, and he was about to jump off the horse and travel alone.
“Your highness, the princess!” Black Uncle shouted anxiously.
“Big sister.”
A woman walked out of the carriage, and she pulled her big sister’s sleeves, before she took a look at Jiang Chen, “Young master, I’m offering you my apologies. So please don’t get angry.”
This woman was completely different than her big sister, and it was as if they belonged to different worlds. She was refined, graceful, and tender as water.
If one saw her flustered look as she quickly apologized, one wouldn’t help but feel pity for her.
“It’s no bother.”
Jiang Chen felt like a person of great moral stature like him must forgive what had been committed by a person of low moral stature.
