"How is that possible? He's actually at the second level of Yuan Martial!"
At this moment, everyone from the Shangguan family was struck dumb, utterly astonished. They never could have imagined that Chu Feng would be at the Yuan Martial second level, but what they found even harder to believe was that Chu Feng had managed to kill two Yuan Martial fourth-level experts with a single strike and escape right before their eyes.
"You think you can leave? Not so easy!"
Shangguan Tian and Shangguan Ya both let out cold snorts and gave chase on horseback. Most of their followers pursued close behind, but two were left behind to deal with the Shangguan family's dead. Their methods were quite practiced, leaving not a single clue—they feared the Su family learning of their hunt for Chu Feng.
"Damn, good thing I bought a good horse. Otherwise, I really would have been finished here."
Chu Feng's Feridun Blood Horse galloped like the wind. Its speed was truly remarkable, not much slower than if Chu Feng had used the Void Flight Technique himself.
But what left Chu Feng speechless was that the white horses ridden by the Shangguan family members were no worse than his Feridun Blood Horse—perhaps even better. They were steadily closing the distance, little by little.
"This is bad. I can't keep this up."
Chu Feng was starting to panic. They had just left the Zhuque Mountain Range, and now a vast, endless plain stretched before him. He could only flee straight down the road, but if this continued, he would soon be caught.
While he didn't fear the others, Chu Feng was still wary of Shangguan Tian. Although the man was only at the first level of Xuan Martial, he was still in the Xuan Martial realm. If he got close, Chu Feng wasn't sure he could escape.
"You fool, why aren't you channeling Yuan Force into the horse? Do you want to be caught so quickly?!" At that moment, Dan Dan's anxious shout rang out in his mind.
"Channel Yuan Force? Into this Feridun Blood Horse?" Chu Feng was shocked. This was the first time he'd heard of such a technique.
"You idiot! Others can't do it, but you can. Don't forget, you're a Spirit Realm Master!"
Dan Dan looked exasperated, as if disappointed by his slowness. Then, she taught Chu Feng a method that used the power of the Spirit Realm to moderate Yuan Force, allowing the two energies to merge and stimulate the Feridun Blood Horse's full potential.
The moment Chu Feng channeled the Yuan Force, the Feridun Blood Horse let out a long, shrill neigh. Its eyes turned blood-red, as if driven mad. All four hooves moved in perfect sync, and it seemed to leave the ground entirely, running at a speed that was simply staggering. In a flash, it widened the gap, leaving the hard-pursuing Shangguan Ya and the others far behind.
"What the hell? What kind of horse is that guy riding? How is it so fast?"
"That's impossible! That's clearly just an ordinary Feridun Blood Horse. How can it be faster than the Little White Dragon our Shangguan family meticulously trained?"
Watching Chu Feng put absolute distance between them, the Shangguan family members were left slack-jawed. This was easily the fastest horse they had ever seen, so fast it defied belief.
"Hmph, he has some tricks. But he's still too green."
Shangguan Tian narrowed his eyes. He actually launched himself from the white horse's back, landing on the ground. Then, with great strides and a whirlwind of speed, he began to chase Chu Feng on foot—his pace was far quicker than that of any horse.
"Alright, stop chasing. Once the big brother makes his move, he's dead for sure!"
