Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Enemies Cross Paths
"Brother Ya, save !"
Seeing the Black Feather, Zhang Yuan felt like he had grasped a lifeline and couldn’t help but shout loudly!
The danger he faced was imnse, and the only thing that could save his life was probably this Crow’s feather.
The Black Feather didn’t disappoint Zhang Yuan’s expectations, swiftly turning and shooting towards the right.
The speed was comparable to an arrow leaving the bowstring!
Zhang Yuan didn’t hesitate at all and imdiately activated the third host of the Divine Nest he had just secured—the Golden Grasshopper.
The extraordinary abilities that the Golden Grasshopper could enhance were exactly what he needed most at that mont!
The next mont, a strange power instantly infused into Zhang Yuan’s body.
His Qi Blood within ignited, the muscles in his legs suddenly tightened and fird, and large tendons surfaced under his skin!
With this power driving him, Zhang Yuan sheathed his long blade and took off running to catch up with the Black Feather ahead.
Zhang Yuan discovered that his body had beco much lighter, and his speed increased abruptly.
Since it was his first ti receiving the extraordinary ability of double agility, in his unfamiliarity, Zhang Yuan nearly lost his balance, almost stumbling to the ground.
But he forcibly steadied himself, jogged a few steps, and accelerated again.
In this life-and-death mont, Zhang Yuan fully unleashed his potential, and after running only about a hundred steps, he had basically adapted to the state of enhanced double agility.
His stride beca more flexible and quick, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with the Black Feather ahead.
At this mont, the Black Feather had already flown into a patch of black mist.
This black mist was not very dense.
The swiftly shooting Black Feather seed to be a sharp blade, silently cutting open the "curtain" blocking the way, creating a straight, wide path!
Zhang Yuan’s eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he dashed in.
The Black Feather blazed the trail ahead, while he chased closely behind, maintaining a distance of about ten feet!
But the Black Feather didn’t always fly in a straight line and suddenly changed direction.
This ant Zhang Yuan had to follow closely and not lose direction, crashing into the endless black mist.
In such circumstances, the extraordinary ability of double agility made his pursuit steps increasingly light and swift.
His whole body seed to fly with it!
After several twists and turns, Zhang Yuan gradually started to understand sothing.
The Black Feather’s pathfinding was spiritual, definitely not random flying.
The direction it chose should be in areas where the black mist was relatively thin.
However, as ti went on, wisps of white smoke began to erge from the edges of the Black Feather.
It even ignited little black flas!
Zhang Yuan quickly realized that it was burning its power.
This realization weighed heavily on Zhang Yuan’s heart.
In the blink of an eye, the burning flas covered the entire Crow Feather, and it flew forward unwaveringly like a streak of black light!
There was nothing Zhang Yuan could do but race along with it.
In this death maze filled with black mist, he was searching for a chance to survive!
After surviving for a hundred breaths, the last quill burned out, and this Crow Feather that carried the hope of life silently extinguished.
Just as Zhang Yuan’s heart sank again, the way ahead suddenly brightened.
Warm and bright light approached, as if the endless black mist had disappeared in an instant.
At this mont, Zhang Yuan realized that he had escaped the death maze!
But he didn’t relax, nor did he stop running, maintaining his sprinting pace.
The farther he ran, the better!
Not long after, Zhang Yuan saw the very familiar village in the distance.
Chen Family Village!
This ant he had successfully escaped Qianfeng Mountain.
Yet, Zhang Yuan felt no joy in surviving, because he saw the endless black mist rapidly spreading toward Chen Family Village, and it wouldn’t be long before it engulfed it!
The strangeness controlling the black mist was clearly not satisfied with killing the villagers who were building roads.
It also wanted to destroy this village!
Zhang Yuan heard the frantic and disorganized sound of a copper gong coming from Chen Family Village.
He also saw the ancestral hall in the center of the village, emitting a faint light.
Passed down through generations, the ancestral hall had protected the villagers from the attack of the strangeness.
Zhang Yuan had lived in Chen Family Village for fifteen years and had never encountered anything strange before, living a peaceful and tranquil life.
The ancestral hall had played a crucial role.
But Zhang Yuan didn’t think that the ancestral hall of Chen Family Village could still resist the surging black mist today.
Or rather, the strangeness behind the black mist!
Even the City God Statue, worshipped by tens of thousands, couldn’t withstand it; what power could the ancestral hall of just a few hundred people have?
Seeing that Chen Family Village was about to beco hell, Zhang Yuan could only sigh and then dashed toward the county town.
There was nothing else he could do; protecting himself was already very fortunate!
Zhang Yuan wasn’t sure if the black mist would attack the county town after devouring Chen Family Village.
But regardless of whether that scenario would unfold, he had to go to the county town.
Because his mother was still in the town!
What Zhang Yuan didn’t expect was this.
When he erged from a familiar path, he unexpectedly encountered a group of people rushing on their way at the fork.
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a mont—what a narrow path for enemies to tread!
Chen Deping, Landlord Chen, Chen Family’s young master along with his two younger brothers, Steward Zhang, and the household servants, etc.
Altogether, there were more than ten people.
None of them carried any luggage.
Yet each of them looked tense and panicked, like a group of lost dogs!
"It’s you!"
Due to the sudden encounter, the distance between them was very close.
The Chen Family also saw Zhang Yuan.
The young master of the Chen Family recognized Zhang Yuan at a glance and imdiately growled, "You’re still alive?"
He looked as if he had a deep hatred for Zhang Yuan!
Landlord Chen’s gaze turned icy, "Kill him."
He didn’t care what grudges his son had with Zhang Yuan; blocking his path ant death!
Two household servants grinned and charged toward Zhang Yuan.
These two servants were strong and cooperated very well, flanking Zhang Yuan from both sides.
They intended to capture Zhang Yuan and then strangle him to death!
However, the two vicious household servants never expected that what awaited them was a dazzling blade aura.
It was the light emitted by the long blade Zhang Yuan had just drawn!
Zhang Yuan had never learned real swordsmanship; the moves he knew were learned stealthily from Hunter Gao, just forms with no real secrets, and he gained so techniques from day-to-day practice.
It wasn’t real kung fu.
The long blade in his hand had originally belonged to Hunter Gao.
It wasn’t the firewood knife Zhang Yuan was most accustod to.
But when he activated the second host, the Jade Mantis, the situation underwent a trendous change.
The Level 2 Jade Mantis granted Zhang Yuan the extraordinary ability of interdiate sword mastery.
He casually swung the blade, and two large heads flew into the sky.
Blood spurted several feet high from the severed necks!
The next mont, the heads rolled to the ground.
The two household servants died with their eyes wide open, their mouths agape as if silently screaming in agony.
A good blade, a fast blade!
