Chapter 207 The Awakening of Jiu You!

“Damn that Firmament Chain! My cultivation and strength have weakened so much because of it!” Chu Xun thought as he was on the brink of tears.

The flame on the fire phoenix was about to be extinguished by Blood Lord, and his strength was at least 70 percent weaker than before. He suddenly did not know what to do.

“If I can return to Qianlong Mountain, I definitely can kill Blood Lord using the protective formation on the mountain, but that would probably compromise the peace and safety of the mountain.”

“Swoosh!”

Chu Xun made up his mind. He decided to run away from Qianlong Mountain immediately!

He dashed like a streak of light. Although it would cost him a considerable amount of True Energy, it granted him exceptional speed.

Meanwhile, Blood Lord extinguished the flame on the fire phoenix.

Blood Lord watched Chu Xun disappearing into the forest like a streak of lightning. He was stunned for a while, then laughed arrogantly and said, “Where are you going, Chu the Devil?”

He started chasing after Chu Xun the moment he finished that sentence.

While one was running away, the other gave chase.

Chu Xun’s speed of sound-breaking dropped by half, yet it was still incredibly fast. There were sounds of explosions wherever he traveled.

Blood Lord was slightly irritated by Chu Xun’s speed. He was right to guess that Chu Xun was injured and his strength had dropped, but he could not understand how he still managed to be so fast in such a condition.

He could only watch his backside from afar.

Chu Xun was worried as well because he needed True Energy to sustain his speed. He had already expended a large amount of True Energy, and now his True Energy was drained twice as quickly due to the Firmament Chain.

“You can’t run away from me, Chu the Devil.”

Blood Lord shouted at him, his overwhelming smell of blood permeating the air.

Chu Xun did not respond to his words. He kept his head down and continued running.

Blood Lord continued chasing after him at the same speed. He grew even more irritated over time and forged a blood spear in his hand.

“Whoosh!”

With a jarring sound of an explosion in the air, the blood spear shot out and flew toward Chu Xun’s back.

Since Chu Xun’s True Energy was drained very quickly, he did not dare to use divine sense, so he shifted using his acute sense of his surroundings.

“Swoosh!”

As the blood spear dashed right past his shoulder, he could feel the chill on his cheek. The spear hit a tree in front of him and exploded, breaking its thick trunk in half.

Chu Xun grew slightly worried. The dodge that he had performed earlier allowed Blood Lord to catch up to him by more than 10 meters.

“Swoosh!”

Sounds of explosions could be heard in the air due to the extremely high speed.

Chu Xun shifted away to dodge the attack again.

A blood spear dashed past his ear and shattered a rock in front of him with a “boom”, as pieces of rocks were blown all over the place.

“You are the infamous ‘devil’, why are you now running away like a stray dog? You will not escape from me!” Blood Lord shouted arrogantly.

He forged another blood spear and charged toward the back of Chu Xun’s head.

Since they were closer now and the blood spear was quicker, it was even harder to dodge it.

...

Chu Xun’s clothes were slashed open around his shoulder, and there was a white scar on his skin.

Chu Xun once bathed in the dragon blood, so his skin was as impenetrable as the toughest metal. However, he needed True Energy to sustain this toughness.

“Chu the Devil, I think you should be called ‘Chu the Coward’ instead. You are a living legend in the Martial Tao world, but I think you are nothing but a joke.”

He shot out another blood spear as he spoke.

“Bang!”

This time, Chu Xun could not dodge the attack and the blood spear hit his back, making a dull thud.

Chu Xun fell forward upon the impact. All his organs were shaking.

“Damn it!”

Chu Xun felt extremely humiliated and angry.

He continued running away at full speed, and his remaining True Energy was used to its maximum capacity.

On the other hand, however, Blood Lord was a grade-nine Grandmaster who was at his peak, so he was not much slower than Chu Xun. Instead of being shaken off by Chu Xun, he was gradually catching up.

“This can’t go on forever,” Chu Xun thought as he tried to come up with a plan.

“Bang!”

Another blood spear hit his back heavily, making another loud thud.

Chu Xun’s blood flow was greatly disturbed by the impact. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying forward.

Once Chu Xun landed, he subdued the surging blood in his body and started running, once again leaving Blood Lord far behind.

“You will never escape from me, Chu Xun. I will take your life now!”

Blood Lord was not bothered by the increased distance between them at all.

He was like a cat trying to catch a mouse, attacking with his blood spear from time to time.

Chu Xun was hit by even more blood spears, and he started coughing blood.

“If this keeps going on, I’m afraid I will die here today,” Chu Xun thought in anger.

“Don’t be afraid, Chu Xun. I will kill him.” The voice of a child suddenly echoed in Chu Xun’s head.

Chu Xun was first shocked, then he looked at his wrist in joy.

His wrist was covered in bright, colorful lights.

It meant that Jiu You was finally awake.

Jiu You had long been an intelligent creature, yet no one had thought that it was able to communicate through divine sense.

“Jiu You, he’s a grade-nine Grandmaster. Can you handle him?” Chu Xun asked worriedly.

After all, before Jiu You went into its slumber, it could not even beat a Grandmaster.

“Don’t worry about it, just leave it to me.”

Chu Xun was reassured. Since Jiu You said there would not be any problem, he had no reason to worry.

With a flash of light, Jiu You disappeared.

Chu Xun did not stop moving; he was still running at the speed of lightning.

“Chu Xun, give up and surrender now!”

Blood Lord looked fierce and arrogant. He forged another blood spear and was just about to shoot it toward Chu Xun.

All of a sudden, a streak of colorful light exploded on a tree next to him and charged toward him.

It was sudden and unbelievably fast; even Blood Lord did not have enough time to dodge.

It was just like this line from a song: “I only wish to run toward the face that I’ve missed so.”

“Slap!”

Blood splattered all over the sky, like peach blossoms blooming in the air.

Blood Lord was sent flying away as he screamed. He fell onto the ground only after breaking multiple thick trees.

Chu Xun stopped running after hearing the sound. He turned to look at Blood Lord and was amazed by what he saw.

“I have to admit, Jiu You has grown extremely terrifying and treacherous.”

Jiu You’s attack left a bloody scar from the corner of Blood Lord’s left eye to the right corner of his mouth. He was soaked in blood and his skin was torn open cruelly.

What was even more terrifying was the blood that was gushing out from the top of Blood Lord’s head. There was a five-centimeter long scar on his head.

Jiu You’s attack almost shattered his head.

“Swoosh!”

With another flash of the colorful light, Jiu You appeared on Chu Xun’s shoulder. It shook its head proudly.

“Jiu You, what stage of cultivation are you at now?” Chu Xun asked using divine sense.

“According to the ranking used by humans, I’m probably a grade-eight Grandmaster,” said a childlike voice.

Even Chu Xun wanted to roll his eyes after hearing that response. Everyone knew that it was extremely difficult for a human to become a grade-eight Grandmaster. Some could not reach that level even after working for it for their entire life.

Chu Xun felt that he should have never compared himself to a snake. He was extremely envious of the fact that Jiu You became a grade-eight Grandmaster only after a slumber.

“The training method you taught me worked very well for me, plus there was already a lot of strength accumulated in my body, so it all added to my improvement. I think it took me a very short period of time to make this breakthrough, so it might take a lot longer for my next breakthrough,” Jiu You said.

“How long do you think it will take next time?”

“It probably will take me one to two years to reach grade nine.”

Chu Xun felt envious again. “One to two years... Even a human needs three to five years or longer to improve from grade eight to grade nine, and that’s only if that person is extremely talented.”

Jiu You did not understand why Chu Xun was so envious, shouldn’t he feel happy about its breakthrough?

Deep inside, Chu Xun was indeed happy. “Jiu You’s cultivation has reached grade eight. Since it has the physique of a monster, its strength should be comparable to that of a grade-nine Grandmaster.”

“Maybe I can test its strength on Blood Lord.”

“Argh...” Blood Lord growled furiously.

He covered his head with his hands and spasmed in pain. He felt cracks on his head, as if it was about to explode.

“What on earth was that thing?” As a grade-nine Grandmaster, his head should be tough enough to be hit by a train, yet the attack earlier had almost shattered his head.

Blood Lord felt a chill deep inside.

“Argh...” Blood Lord growled again like a wounded beast. “It’s too damn painful, I can feel the pain even in my bones.”

“Boom!”

Being enraged by the pain, he shattered a rock the size of a table using his fist.

“Let’s go,” Chu Xun said.

“The enraged Blood Lord must be way scarier than before, and Jiu You may not be able to beat him,” he thought.
