Chapter 114: The Lingering Shadow Displays Its Might!

  Ye Chen relied on his Dragon Shadow movement, sprinting all the way and soon left everyone far behind. The gate of Blue Rain City was now within arm's reach!

  The ordinary people around watched Blue Bamboo Heaven chasing and killing a young man, and they hurriedly made way, fearing that if they obstructed Blue Bamboo Heaven, they would be put to death!

  "Who is he? Why would Lan Zhutian be hunted down by so many people?"

  "Who knows! But judging from the look of things, that young man is doomed. He has offended Lan Zhutian and will surely die!"

  "Really!"

  "Let's scatter quickly! Don't get us involved in this!"

  "Right! Right! Let's disperse quickly!"

  ......

  Ye Chen looked at the city gate close at hand, and his heart was overjoyed. As long as he got out of the city gate, it would be like a dragon entering the sea, and Blue Bamboo Heaven behind him would never be able to catch up with himself.

  "Hurry up and close the city gate for me!"

  Just then, a furious roar came from behind Ye Chen, it was Lan Zhu Tian.

  Lan Zhu Tian, how could he not know Ye Chen's thoughts? He also understood that he absolutely couldn't let Ye Chen leave the city! If he were to let Ye Chen leave, it would be difficult to catch him again. Moreover, he had said before that Ye Chen couldn't leave Blue Rain City, so if he really did let him go, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?

  The guards on the city wall of Blue Rain City, upon hearing the voice of Lan Zhu Tian, immediately hastened to give orders and had the gates leading to the outer gate closed. They then rushed down and stood in front of the door, vigilantly staring at Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen was shocked in his heart, looking at the already fallen city gate, and secretly said: Not good! This city gate can't be shattered with my current strength, unless I use the Dragon Claw in conjunction with the Dragon Capturing Hand. But there are so many people here, if I use the Dragon Claw, it will probably cause even more trouble!

  Suddenly, Ye Chen's heart moved and he directly changed direction, rushing towards another city gate.

  Lan Yu City should have a vast area, with many products produced inside the city. Normally, they rely on this special outlet, so after the successful construction, three more city gates were opened in other directions, making it convenient for merchants to do business.

  It was already noon, the busiest time in Blue Rain City. The streets were crowded with people, and Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat as he gazed out at the sea of faces. Taking advantage of his agility and Dragon Shadow's cunning, he swiftly blended into the crowd and sprinted towards another city gate exit.

  Lan Zhutian looked at Ye Chen who was borrowing the crowd to escape, his face turned cold, and he immediately turned his head to the cultivators behind him and said: "Give me a signal! Let the other three gates close for me, I don't believe he can fly out!"

  "Master, if we send a signal, it will inevitably make things bigger. When the city master comes, it's hard to explain!"

  Lan Zhutian's face turned red with rage as he heard the words behind him, and he roared: "What do you suggest we do? If you can keep up with his speed, then go notify them to close the city gate before he arrives! Can you do that? Hurry up and send a signal for me!"

  The three of them looked at each other helplessly, and each took out a spiritual energy bomb from their bosom, throwing it directly into the sky.

  "Boom!"

  "Boom!"

  "Boom!"

  As the three loud explosions sounded, Blue Rain City was thrown into complete chaos. Everyone knew that this was a level one alert for Blue Rain City. Immediately, on the streets of Blue Rain City which were originally bustling with activity, people hastily returned to their homes and locked their doors and windows tightly.

  The guards at the other three gates looked up at the signal in the sky and hastily ordered their men to close the city gate while preparing for battle.

  In the castle of Blue Rain City, a middle-aged man wearing brocade clothes was originally discussing matters with his subordinates when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside. He hastily walked out of the room and looked up at the sky, immediately furrowing his brow and asking his subordinate in puzzlement: "What happened?"

  "Reporting back to the city master, I don't know, however..."

  This man is the lord of Blue Rain City, Lan Jue's father, Lan Wai.

  Lan Kuangfeng looked at his subordinate's hesitant appearance and frowned, saying: "What's wrong with speaking?! Speak quickly!"

  "Yes! Just now, the subordinate reported that the young master has called away the elite guard troops and doesn't know what they are doing! The signal in the sky should be sent by the three captains of the guard troops!"

  "Elite Guard?" Lan Feng was taken aback, and then his expression turned angry: "Nonsense! Can the Elite Guard be mobilized so easily? And can this alarm be sounded so casually? Hurry up and follow me to see what's going on!"

  Lan Kuangfeng immediately led his men towards the location where the signal was sent from.

  At this time, Yejia Village, Liu Yuer hurriedly settled Ye Tong and the others, and rushed towards the direction of Lan Yu City. Although she knew that the people of Tianxing Wuguan were not Ye Chen's opponents at all, she always had a bad premonition...

  Ye Chen looked at the signal in the sky and his face tensed up, thinking to himself: This is bad!

  Ye Chen immediately gave up using Dragon Shadow and switched to Swift Flash, after all, the people on both sides of the road had already dispersed, and on such a wide street, going straight would still be faster with Swift Flash!

  Ye Chen's rapid footsteps sped towards the city gate, and soon the gate appeared in his line of sight! As Ye Chen had expected, the gate was now tightly closed, with many guards standing below, their faces vigilant as they stared at Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen furrowed his brow and turned around again, rushing towards the next city gate...

  Same here!

  When Ye Chen saw the closed city gate again, he finally understood that maybe he didn't need to go see the next city gate either, even if he went, it would be closed.

  At once, Ye Chen's heart hardened: he would stake everything, there was no more time to consider, and he would charge out from here! If need be, he would use the Dragon Claw to blast open the city gate!

  Ye Chen had thought of disguising himself as a member of the Imperial Guard, but his Dragon Slayer sword was too eye-catching. Others would recognize him at a glance, and he absolutely wouldn't abandon this divine sword for the sake of escaping!

  Thinking of this, Ye Chen didn't waste any more time and directly rushed towards the city gate. He knew that if he delayed for a minute, Lan Zhutian behind him would be closer to him.

  The guards at the city gate looked at Ye Chen rushing over, stunned for a moment, and then tightly grasped the weapons in their hands.

  They knew they couldn't stop Ye Chen, but they couldn't retreat either. It was a soldier's honor to die on the battlefield rather than flee for their lives!

  In an instant, Ye Chen rushed into the crowd and fought together with the guards.

  As the mournful cries continued to rise, the outcome was predictable. These people were no match for Ye Chen's attacks and could not withstand his offensive at all. In an instant, the city gate had become a river of blood.

  Ye Chen looked at the blood on the ground and didn't stay for a moment. He directly carried the dragon's corpse on his back.

  Just as Ye Chen was about to undergo the Dragon Claw transformation, a menacing cry came from behind him: "See where you run this time!"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen instantly dispersed the true energy he had been preparing to transform. He turned his head and glared furiously at Lan Zhutian, who was now less than ten zhang away from him. Ye Chen understood that if he didn't deal with them first, and instead forcefully blasted open the city gate, although the gate would be opened, he himself would inevitably be attacked by Lan Zhutian, and in the end, he still wouldn't be able to escape.

  Lan Zhu Tian looked at Ye Chen who was staring back at him, and sneered with a playful smile: "Aren't you supposed to be able to run? Why aren't you running now? I thought you could really escape!"

  Ye Chen didn't respond to Lan Zhutian's words at all, but instead became extremely calm and began thinking about how he could kill everyone in front of him in the shortest amount of time without exposing his Dragon Claw.

  Ye Chen observed for half a day and secretly said: I can only take down the first four cultivators in the Gathering Qi realm, either killing or injuring them, otherwise I have no chance at all!

  Thinking of this, Ye Chen's mind quickly turned around and smiled slightly at Lan Zhutian. That smile was so confident...

  Lan Zhu Tian looked at Ye Chen's smile and shouted: "What are you smiling about?"

  However, Ye Chen still maintained a smiling expression and didn't respond to Lan Zhutian at all.

  "Ah!"

  At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind a Qi gatherer and threw a punch directly at the back of the Qi gatherer, sending him flying out.

  The crowd hastily looked towards the direction where the voice came from, and directly saw Ye Chen with a bloodthirsty smile on his face staring at them.

  Lan Zhu Tian stared at Ye Chen in shock, then hastily glanced towards the city gate where Ye Chen was looking at him with a smile. He found that the 'Ye Chen' who had just smiled at him was still there smiling at him!

  Afterimage!

  Ye Chen had just used the Shadow Technique, splitting off a shadowy figure to confuse everyone, and then quickly struck out on his own, first wounding a cultivator in the Gathering Qi realm.

  It's not that Ye Chen didn't use Shadow Escape, but because when using Shadow Escape, although it can temporarily erase one's shadow, the distance is very limited, about ten zhang or so.

  The crowd immediately rushed towards Ye Chen, but when they came into contact with him, they found that the Ye Chen they attacked was just another residual shadow.

  Just then, Blue Bamboo Heaven felt a sense of danger coming from behind his back, and he suddenly dodged violently. In an instant, a huge knife chopped down onto the spot where he had just been standing.

  "What kind of martial skill is this!" Lan Zhutian stared at Ye Chen with an unbelievable face, shouting in shock.

  Ye Chen watched as Lan Zhutian dodged his attack, and immediately furrowed his brow, knowing that it was no longer possible to rely on the residual shadow to launch a sneak attack on them. After all, the residual shadow's weakness was too great, and only by carefully observing would one be able to see through its flaws! However, things weren't bad now either, as Ye Chen had already injured one of the Qi Gathering Realm cultivators using the residual shadow.

  Immediately, Ye Chen turned around and charged towards another cultivator in the Gathering Qi realm, slashing his sword fiercely at the person's head.

  He was shocked and quickly drew his own big knife to fight back.

  Bang!

  Ye Chen's Dragon Slayer may have shattered his opponent's weapon with a single slash, but it didn't harm the person himself, after all Ye Chen and he were two realms apart.

  Another cultivator in the Gathering Qi realm saw Ye Chen make his move and let out a loud roar, charging directly towards him. At the same time, Lan Zhutian also rushed towards Ye Chen...

  Ye Chen looked at the two people rushing up and knew that running away was no longer meaningful at this time. He could only fight to the death!
