Chapter 344 -0339: The Unlucky Yin Chengzhuang
“You… you’re still alive?”
Yin Chengzhuang found it somewhat hard to believe.
Ge Lin had departed with eleven people to hunt down Chen Yu.
However, what Yin Chengzhuang had waited for all this time turned out to be Chen Yu and his companions returning, while Ge Lin and her group had not appeared.
There was only one possibility: all twelve people with Ge Lin had died!
This possibility, like a bolt of thunder, struck Yin Chengzhuang’s mind, causing him to freeze for a moment, unbelieving.
“Haha, of course we’re alive. Are you blind not to have seen that?”
Chen Yu laughed, his reply laced with mockery.
On the other side, Jin Zhuo Peak and Situ Lin Yu also revealed expressions of surprise and delight.
Earlier, when discussing the plan, they had only considered delaying the enemy until Yuan Chen made his breakthrough to the Guiyuan Realm.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yu’s group had already dealt with the enemy.
As a result, even without Yuan Chen breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm, the situation could be resolved.
Jin Zhuo Peak and Situ Lin Yu stopped fleeing and stood their ground.
After that, Chen Yu and the others converged.
Yin Chengzhuang, on the other hand, suddenly stopped and did not advance.
Although he was powerful, not fearing a single opponent, being outnumbered was a different matter.
Moreover, Chen Yu, Nie Xuan, and the others, being able to deal with Ge Lin and the rest, were naturally not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
“Let’s go!”
Yin Chengzhuang immediately made up his mind.
Whoosh!
He turned around instantly, becoming a gray afterimage that swiftly disappeared into the dense forest.
Jin Zhuo Peak, Nie Xuan, and others couldn’t help but exhale in relief; it seemed there was nothing else to worry about.
But Chen Yu then made a startling declaration.
“Chase him; we can’t let him get away!”
Chen Yu’s shout stunned everyone.
“Chase after Yin Chengzhuang?”
Jin Zhuo Peak couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Yin Chengzhuang was mighty strong; chasing him seemed like a thankless task.
“Hehe, we just need to keep an eye on him, leaving markers along our path. Once Brother Yuan Chen breaks through to the Guiyuan Realm, Yin Chengzhuang will have no choice but to surrender. Besides, with a powerhouse like Yin Chengzhuang, the resources and Tokens he holds are likely far beyond our imagination!”
Chen Yu smiled faintly and had already dashed out.
The rest, persuaded by his words, quickly adopted the same idea.
But the only ones who could truly keep up with Yin Chengzhuang’s pace were Chen Yu, Jin Zhuo Peak, and Situ Lin Yu, while the others had to hurry along behind them, thankfully without losing trail due to the markers.
However, Yin Chengzhuang, upon seeing only Jin Zhuo Peak, Situ Lin Yu, and Chen Yu chasing after him, couldn’t help but laugh.
“You three, want to hunt me down?”
Yin Chengzhuang laughed loudly.
He felt it was necessary to teach these youngsters a lesson.
Yet, Yin Chengzhuang discovered that when he slowed down, Chen Yu and the others also slowed down, always maintaining a certain distance from him.
And this distance was precisely within the effective range of Yin Chengzhuang’s Pupil Skill.
“Damn it, they’re just keeping tabs on me.”
Yin Chengzhuang finally understood what Chen Yu and the others were planning.
At the same time, he pondered that Chen Yu must be waiting for someone.
The answer was self-evident; it had to be Yuan Chen.
If Yuan Chen joined them, Yin Chengzhuang would certainly not be able to stand against his foes.
Whoosh!
Yin Chengzhuang’s body released a burst of fierce True Qi; his movement technique’s speed instantly increased, and in no time at all, he disappeared from the sight of Chen Yu and the others.
“We can’t catch up.”
Jin Zhuo Peak said helplessly.
Though Jin Zhuo Peak and Yin Chengzhuang were both at the Innate Peak level, their actual strengths were not on par.
With Yin Chengzhuang speeding up with a Secret Technique, they found it hard to keep up.
“His Secret Technique surely won’t last long, I will go ahead first. You all just need to follow later.”
Chen Yu decided resolutely and gritted his teeth.
He had plans on making it into the top ten in the first segment; currently holding only two hundred and eight Tokens, he still had a way to go.
Yin Chengzhuang, ranked third at Yunyang Academy, was sure to have many Tokens.
Just by keeping up with Yin Chengzhuang, they could seize all his Tokens once his senior made the breakthrough to the Guiyuan Realm.
Thump thump! Thump thump thump!
Chen Yu’s heartbeat gathered strength and suddenly exploded; he activated the “Devilish Evil Frenzy Shadow,” immediately becoming a dark gale rushing forth.
Chen Yu’s Secret Technique was adept at straight-line pursuits.
Moreover, with the propulsion of the demon pattern’s energy, his speed would be even faster.
Simultaneously, with his heart’s explosive thrust, Chen Yu’s straight-line speed reached an astonishing level, shocking Jin Zhuo Peak and Situ Lin Yu, who could only gape behind him.
Ahead.
After shaking off Chen Yu and the others, Yin Chengzhuang couldn’t help but smirk contentedly: “Heh heh, I shook them off so easily.”
However, at that moment, the roar of an angry wind sounded behind him.
Yin Chengzhuang turned his head to look and his face immediately stiffened.
“Impossible, how can this lad, merely at the Innate Middle Stage, burst forth with such speed!”
Yin Chengzhuang found it hard to believe.
Of course, Chen Yu still maintained a certain distance from him as he was fairly wary of Yin Chengzhuang’s Pupil Skill.
But soon, Chen Yu’s heart-driven burst came to a halt, and he entered into a period of weakness.
Furthermore, with the continuous chasing and fleeing, having had no rest, Chen Yu now felt somewhat weary.
He immediately retrieved a jade bottle from his storage bag, which still contained the last drop of “Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid.”
Initially, to hatch the Fire Scale Beast, he had wasted most of the Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid. The remaining small amount was sufficient for a single use.
Without a second thought, Chen Yu consumed the Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid; his vigor and True Qi rapidly restored to their peaks.
“This damned fellow, to have such spiritual liquid!”
Ahead, Yin Chengzhuang cursed under his breath.
Although only Chen Yu was catching up to him, if he tried to kill Chen Yu, Chen Yu could escape.
It felt like an incessant irritation — he couldn’t chase him away nor could he escape, which intensely frustrated Yin Chengzhuang.
What made Yin Chengzhuang even more disheartened was that, throughout this pursuit, they had not encountered any teams from Yunyang Academy.
Until a certain moment, a surge of Sword Intent that shot straight into the clouds suddenly erupted from a nearby forest.
Whoosh!
A figure clad in white suddenly appeared in Yin Chengzhuang’s field of vision, transforming into an indestructible blade of light, charging towards Yin Chengzhuang.
“Ye Chengfeng!”
Yin Chengzhuang’s face showed apprehension.
Ye Chengfeng was the top contender of Sky Sword Academy, unmatched in the talent of Sword Dao, and his attacking power was much stronger than Yin Chengzhuang’s Pupil Skill.
At this moment, Ye Chengfeng had sensed Yin Chengzhuang and had actively come to kill him.
Whoosh!
Ye Chengfeng’s speed ranked him among the top talents.
In an instant, he intercepted Yin Chengzhuang.
“Sky Sword Academy’s Ye Chengfeng!”
Chen Yu, who was in pursuit of Yin Chengzhuang, also saw Ye Chengfeng, feeling a stabbing pain in his eyes when he looked at him.
“Hand over all the Tokens you have.”
Ye Chengfeng’s icy gaze casually swept across Yin Chengzhuang and Chen Yu.
“Ye Chengfeng, aren’t you underestimating me a bit too much? Even you would not find it easy to defeat me,” Yin Chengzhuang retorted, his expression turning cold.
He did not expect Ye Chengfeng to be so domineering as to demand all his Tokens.
Chen Yu naturally was unwilling as well. He had plans to break into the top ten of the first segment, so how could he hand over all his Tokens.
“Then let’s try!”
Ye Chengfeng was ready to try as soon as he said so.
Ding!
A slender treasure sword with a crystal-white blade was unsheathed, and invisible white Sword Intent densely filled the air, slicing the surrounding trees and plants into pieces that fell to the ground.
Whoosh!
A sword swept out, releasing a heaven-piercing sword light that killed everything in its path, like thunder cutting through dark clouds, dazzling to behold.

“You…”
Yin Chengzhuang’s mind trembled; he hadn’t expected Ye Chengfeng to start fighting without any nonsense.
Buzz!
Yin Chengzhuang summoned a surge of dark red True Qi, forming a barrier of flame light to guard in front of him.
Boom!
The barrier of flame light couldn’t even hold for half a moment, instantly shattering, and the remaining sword light struck Yin Chengzhuang.
Yin Chengzhuang had prepared himself, knowing he couldn’t simply block Ye Chengfeng’s first strike.
He had already circulated his True Qi to defend with all his might, plus he had an exceptional defensive treasure armor.
Boom!
Yin Chengzhuang was pushed back dozens of steps by Ye Chengfeng’s strike, his complexion slightly pale.
Of course, Ye Chengfeng’s sword strike was not only aimed at Yin Chengzhuang but also included Chen Yu.
A fraction of the sword light stabbed towards Chen Yu from a distance.
Although it was only a small portion of the sword light, Ye Chengfeng, as a Sword Dao Practitioner, specialized in attacks and did not hold back in his slash.
“Secret Pattern Demon Body!”
Without a second word, Chen Yu activated his Secret Pattern Demon Body.
Boom!
The sword light struck, and a storm exploded.
“Good thing I have my exceptional armor. But this Chen Yu must have been slain by Ye Chengfeng’s strike.”
Yin Chengzhuang sneered to himself.
Even though Ye Chengfeng’s strike was mainly aimed at him, a very small part of it was intended for Chen Yu.
However, a hint of surprise flickered on Ye Chengfeng’s brow from a distance.
As the dust cleared, Chen Yu was actually unscathed.
“This…”
Yin Chengzhuang found it hard to comprehend.
Wasn’t it true that apart from a few top-notch powerhouses, no one of the same level could block Ye Chengfeng’s sword?
Chen Yu was merely at the Innate Middle Stage. Although it wasn’t a full strike from Ye Chengfeng, Chen Yu had remarkably blocked it without a scratch.
Of course, after blocking the strike, Chen Yu’s Secret Pattern Demon Body subsided.
“I’ll repeat it, hand over all the Tokens.”
Ye Chengfeng still spoke simply and coldly.
Buzz!
The crystal white treasure sword in his hand vibrated slightly with the flow of Sword Intent, emitting a faint white light.
Clearly, Ye Chengfeng was preparing for his second strike.
His swordplay did not consist of consecutive moves; each strike was followed by a pause, brewing before it was unleashed, hence its immense power that few could withstand.
Yin Chengzhuang’s expression was somewhat embarrassed, feeling somewhat helpless against Ye Chengfeng.
And Chen Yu also felt the difficulty of the situation, for if Yin Chengzhuang capitulated, he would have to face Ye Chengfeng alone.
Just at this moment, a powerful fluctuation along with startling coldness arose from behind Chen Yu.
“This aura…”
Yin Chengzhuang’s complexion turned ashen.
Ye Chengfeng also slightly raised his head to look into the distance.
“Ye Chengfeng, as the number one figure of Sky Sword Academy, isn’t it a bit too much to bully my junior brother?”
A yellow figure suddenly appeared, arriving by Chen Yu’s side.
“Senior brother!”
Chen Yu immediately rejoiced.
Since Yuan Chen had arrived, there was nothing to worry about.
Moreover, Yuan Chen was no longer the Yuan Chen of before—he had now broken through to the Guiyuan Realm.
“Guiyuan Realm?”
Ye Chengfeng also discerned Yuan Chen’s cultivation level.
After all, Yuan Chen had just broken through and was not yet able to control his aura at will.
“Fine, your junior brother just blocked a part of the power from one of my strikes. I won’t trouble him.”
Ye Chengfeng compromised.
At this point, Yin Chengzhuang felt like crying.
Ye Chengfeng wouldn’t trouble Chen Yu but didn’t say he wouldn’t trouble him, and Yuan Chen definitely wouldn’t let him go.
