Medic Martial Dragon King

"Everyone, wait a moment. I'll set up a Concealment Array, and you all hide inside it to temporarily block the Divine Sense detection of the Bu Family!"

Jiang Chen spoke in a low voice.

"Okay!"

Everyone's eyes lit up as they remembered Jiang Chen's remarkable prowess in Formation.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Jiang Chen casually threw out a dozen Spirit Stones, which caused a mysterious fluctuation to appear around everyone.

Buzz!

An ancient aura suddenly emanated from Jiang Chen, releasing a thick Aura of Spatial Path.

"This..."

"Spatial Path?!"

Zhang Qian and Ouyang Ruoxue exclaimed in surprise.

Yun Tao and the others were not surprised, as they were already aware of Jiang Chen's comprehension of the Spatial Path.

Wow!

When the Aura of Spatial Path appeared, the Spirit Stones that Jiang Chen had thrown out and were about to fall suddenly vanished into the air.

"Formation, rise!"

Jiang Chen shouted in a low voice.

Buzz!

The surrounding space trembled slightly as a transparent barrier enveloped the five people, flickering and then disappearing in an instant.

"Everyone, be careful not to step outside the range covered by the barrier just now. This Concealment Array should be able to block the Divine Sense detection of cultivators below the Initial Stage of Void Refinement Realm!"

Jiang Chen advised in a low voice.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Buzz!

Just then, a majestic pressure of the Great Dao emanated from the place where Zhu Zi died, and a vague power of Divine Sense came from over ten miles away.

"It's that shopkeeper!"

Recognizing the aura, everyone identified the newcomer's identity.

"Senior brother, Jian Wuheng, Zhang Qian, you take care of Ruo Xue, and find a way back to the academy!"

Jiang Chen said in a low voice.

"What are you going to do?"

Yun Tao furrowed his brow and grabbed Jiang Chen's arm.

"If we all stay here, none of us will escape. Once that shopkeeper can't find anyone, he'll surely call the other strongmen of the Bu Family!"

Jiang Chen explained gravely, "Their target is me, only I can divert their attention. Senior brother, I leave them to you! If you don't want me to die, find a way back to the academy quickly!"

Slap!

A crisp sound rang out as Jiang Chen slapped Yun Tao's hand away and dashed out of the Formation's range.

Buzz!

His body emitted a faint Great Dao Aura as Jiang Chen darted towards the east, in the direction of Changlin Academy.

"Junior brother!"

Yun Tao's expression changed as he moved to chase after him.

Jian Wuheng grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing?"

Yun Tao shouted angrily.

"Yun Tao, this is the only way we can survive!"

Jian Wuheng said solemnly, "I'm also worried about Jiang junior's safety, but if we don't do this, we'll all die here. The Bu Family may use any excuse to cover up with the academy, and then, our deaths will be in vain!"

"But I can't let my junior face it alone, you all reporting back should be enough!"

Yun Tao said in a low voice, flashing out of the Formation.

Whoosh!

As Yun Tao rushed out, Ouyang Ruoxue silently followed.

"This..."

Jian Wuheng was about to speak when he abruptly shut his mouth.

Whoosh!

A figure sped over from the north, pausing slightly above the tree where Jian Wuheng and the others were standing, before chasing after Ouyang Ruoxue.

"Zhang Qian, it's up to you. You know Changyun Prefecture well, you must find a way back to the academy. You are our only hope for survival!"

Jian Wuheng spoke softly, then flashed out of the Formation as well, but he didn't head in the direction Jiang Chen and the others left, instead heading west, his body erupting with dazzling Great Dao Divine Light.

Zhang Qian was momentarily stunned, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes.

He never expected the group to run out to divert the strong enemy, leaving only him to find a way back to the academy.

A faint sense of emotion emerged in his heart. He knew that the one who stayed behind had the best chance of survival, while those who ran out like them would definitely be targeted by strong enemies. After all, they were up against the top power of Changyun Prefecture, the Bu Family!

He was just an ordinary student, yet the four most significant students had left him behind. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of being respected and held with high expectations, which was very heartwarming!

Zhang Qian gritted his teeth, suppressing the urge to rush out and confront the enemy with them. He was carrying the hope of everyone!

...

After Jiang Chen dashed out of the Formation, he flew rapidly, trying to give the pursuing shopkeeper the impression that he was heading back to the academy.

Buzz, buzz!

Two auras appeared behind him, quickly closing in on him.

Jiang Chen paused in surprise.

"These two!"

His heart warmed, but Jiang Chen turned to continue his flight.

Buzz!

An even more powerful aura appeared, chasing after the two auras behind him.

"Not good!"

Jiang Chen's complexion changed as he quickly turned back.

...

The shopkeeper pursued along the aura trail left by Zhu Zi into the forest. Once he found Zhu Zi's corpse, he lost the aura of Jiang Chen and the others. Just as he was about to spread his Divine Sense to search, he sensed Jiang Chen's faint aura.

This is...

Upon reaching the place where Jiang Chen's aura first appeared, the shopkeeper sensed the presence of two other auras.

"There are two more people; no matter, I'll catch one first."

The shopkeeper's expression darkened as he charged towards Ouyang Ruoxue, who was lagging behind.

Buzz!

Just as he was leaving, a sharp Sword Intent appeared behind him, the bright Great Dao Divine Light shining brilliantly.

"Do they think they can escape with such childish tactics? How naive!"

The shopkeeper laughed coldly. He had already notified the family, and soon a large number of family cultivators would pursue them; they couldn't escape!

Swish!

The shopkeeper flickered, continuing to chase Ouyang Ruoxue.

Hmm?

After a while of chasing, the shopkeeper was slightly shocked to find that the two auras in front had all turned back.

Quite loyal! Then I'll capture them all together and save myself the trouble.

The shopkeeper slowed his pace slightly, waiting for the three auras in front to converge.

Swish!

When he sensed the three auras converging ahead, the shopkeeper dashed over.

In the forest ahead.

Jiang Chen and the two others gathered together.

"Senior brother, didn't you promise the master to listen to whatever I say once we were out?"

Jiang Chen glared at Yun Tao and then turned to Ouyang Ruoxue, "And you, don't you know your own strength? Following us only drags us down!"

Ouyang Ruoxue's expression shifted slightly; she bit her lip and lowered her head without speaking.

"Junior brother, I promised to listen to you, but not when it comes to taking risks! I'm your senior brother, and I should take the risks..."

Yun Tao shook his head, speaking seriously.

"Alright, now's not the time to talk about this. Get ready for the fight!"

Jiang Chen interrupted Yun Tao, the Saint Dragon Sword appearing in his hand as he stared intensely at the western sky.
