Chapter 86: Snatching Food from the Tiger’s Mouth (2)

The ones who acted were precisely the five Void Breaking Realm Loose Cultivators hidden in the shadows.

The leader among them, a red-haired Elder, had a wild and domineering Aura that was not at all inferior to Holy Master Xuan Yun; he was impressively another expert of the Ninth Level of the Void Breaking Realm.

The other four were also between the Fifth and Seventh Levels of the Void Breaking Realm.

Rumble!

The collision of ten Void Breaking Realm experts was earth-shattering.

Holy Master Xuan Yun roared and struck out with a palm.

Thick spiritual energy condensed into a giant palm that covered the sky, containing the power to tear the heavens, as it slammed into the red-haired Elder’s flaming fist-Aura.

Another Fengyun Holy Land Grand Elder held a cyan longsword. As the sword light flickered, it turned into a sky full of wind-blade sword-rain, enveloping a Loose Cultivator expert who used a giant hammer.

Another Loose Cultivator expert performed a strange movement technique, weaving through like a ghost, as streaks of cold finger-force aimed for the back of another Grand Elder’s heart.

An energy storm instantly swept through the entire basin, the ground cracking and stones flying through the air.

Brilliant Spell lights and violent Origin Qi shockwaves exploded continuously, creating deafening booms.

The spectating Cultivators were horrified, and they all propped up their protective spiritual lights while retreating wildly.

They were terrified of being caught in the horrific combat aftershocks and ending up with no remains left.

The scene was too spectacular; the clash of Void Breaking Realm experts was world-shaking.

Every strike contained terrifying power that made one’s scalp tingle and heart tremble.

However, just as these ten experts were in the heat of battle and everyone’s attention was drawn away...

No one noticed a figure that almost blended into the air, silently slipping into the core area of the battlefield like a ghost.

It was Chen Chuan, who had used the Invisibility Talisman.

He held his breath, lowering all his vital signs to the minimum.

Relying on the ten-fold speed boost from the God Speed Talisman, he appeared beside the small xuanhuang tree as if he had teleported.

The alluring Xuanhuang Spirit Fruit was within reach, emitting a mesmerizing light.

Chen Chuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and moved like lightning, plucking the Xuanhuang Spirit Fruit whole and instantly sending it into the System space.

Success!

Without any hesitation, the spiritual energy in his body surged as he activated the God Speed Talisman, his figure turning into an almost invisible faint shadow.

With a speed that defied common logic, he sped away in the opposite direction of the battlefield.

The entire process happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that it was hard to react to.

However, just as Chen Chuan had rushed out less than a hundred zhang...

Holy Master Xuan Yun, who was clashing with the red-haired Elder, keenly sensed with his Divine Sense that the Aura of the Xuanhuang Spirit Fruit had suddenly vanished.

"Not good! The spirit fruit has been stolen!"

Holy Master Xuan Yun was shocked and furious, shouting out sharply.

Almost simultaneously, the other experts in combat also sensed the abnormality. They all stopped and frantically swept their Divine Sense toward the location of the small xuanhuang tree.

Where was there any sign of the Xuanhuang Spirit Fruit?

"Bastard! Who was it?"

The red-haired Elder was also flying into a rage. They were fighting to the death, only for someone to play the oriole from behind?

"There! There’s an Aura fluctuation!"

A Grand Elder of the Fengyun Holy Land with keen perception immediately locked onto a trace of residual Aura.

"Attack!"

Holy Master Xuan Yun and the red-haired Elder gave the order almost simultaneously, the two sides temporarily putting aside their hostility.

Ten terrifying torrents of energy, like a world-ending heavenly punishment, bombarded the area where Chen Chuan was located.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Although Chen Chuan was extremely fast, the coverage area of the combined angry strikes of ten Void Breaking Realm experts was simply too wide, and the power too strong.

The edge of a violent energy wave grazed his body.

Pfft!

Chen Chuan felt a massive force hit him. His throat felt sweet as he couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan, his figure staggering, almost revealing himself.

It was this single groan and the disruption of his Aura that greatly reduced the effect of the Invisibility Talisman. Although his figure remained blurry, his general position and Aura were completely exposed.

"A little thief of the Dao Seeking Realm? You’re looking for death!"

Holy Master Xuan Yun’s Divine Sense instantly locked onto Chen Chuan.

Though he was shocked that a Dao Seeking Realm Cultivator could hide from them, his killing intent was even stronger.

"Chase him! Tear him into ten thousand pieces!"

The five experts from the Fengyun Holy Land and the five Loose Cultivator experts now shared a common enemy, turning into ten startling rainbows as they rapidly pursued the direction of Chen Chuan’s escape.

To be toyed with by a junior of the Dao Seeking Realm and have the fat meat snatched from their mouths was simply a supreme humiliation.

Chen Chuan’s heart turned cold, and he dared not hold back anything, pushing the speed of the God Speed Talisman to the limit.

His figure was like a bolt of lightning tearing through space, frantically fleeing through the ancient mountain forest.

However, the ten powerful Auras behind him were tightly locked onto him, and the distance was slowly closing.

The speed of Void Breaking Realm experts was not something he could completely shake off, even with a ten-fold increase.

"This won’t work!"

Feeling the killing intent drawing closer from behind, Chen Chuan’s thoughts raced.

He communicated with the System Mall again, his gaze quickly locking onto two life-saving items.

[Evasion Talisman]: After use, one can ignore most terrain obstacles, diving underground or merging with the environment to move rapidly. Effect lasts for thirty minutes.

Price: 500,000 gold tickets.

[Aura Concealment Talisman]: After use, one can perfectly hide all of their Aura and block Divine Sense probes. Effect lasts for thirty minutes.

Price: 500,000 gold tickets.

Another million gold tickets were consumed, and two Talismans instantly appeared in his hand.

Without hesitation, he first crushed the Aura Concealment Talisman, and a mysterious power enveloped his body.

His previously exposed Aura instantly vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed.

Immediately after, he activated the Evasion Talisman.

With a flicker of his body, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, he instantly sank into the solid earth below and disappeared.

Beneath the ground, he still maintained the ten-fold speed from the God Speed Talisman.

Like a swimming dragon moving through the earth’s veins, he rapidly fled in a direction far away from the basin.

The ten pursuers, including Holy Master Xuan Yun and the red-haired Elder, all came to a sudden halt the moment Chen Chuan’s Aura vanished.

Their faces showed expressions of shock and disbelief.

"The Aura is gone?"

"How is that possible?"

"He must still be nearby, using a more advanced concealment method. Search! Even if you have to turn this entire region over, find him!"

Holy Master Xuan Yun’s face was ashen, and he let out an angry roar that shook the surroundings, filled with unwillingness and violence.

Ten Void Breaking Realm experts had actually let a Dao Seeking Realm thief snatch the Xuanhuang Spirit Fruit from right under their noses and successfully escape?

If this were to spread, it would surely become the laughingstock of the entire Sacred Martial Continent.

However, no matter how they repeatedly scanned with their Divine Sense or even bombarded the earth, digging down three feet, they could no longer find any trace of Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan seemed to have vanished from the human world.

Deep underground, Chen Chuan felt the violent vibrations and wild energy fluctuations from above, a cold smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

Relying on the magic of the System Talismans, he had completely escaped the pursuit.

He headed toward a safer place to dive into, preparing to digest this massive harvest.

The Xuanhuang Spirit Fruit was already in his hands.
