Chapter 425: The Pursuit

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Reaching Heaven States managed to fly by manipulating their Haloes of Heaven in their Qihai.

The more Haloes of Heaven they had, the faster they could fly.

Green Ghost’s state was three clouds’ higher than Jiang Chen’s, so of course he could fly much faster than the latter.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t fly through the same method. He had a pair of holy wings on his back.

These two methods of flying were like fishes in water and birds in the air.

Fish swam freely in water, and Green Ghost was like a shark.

In comparison, Jiang Chen was like an eagle. He wasn’t as fast as Green Ghost, but he was much agile while rising and changing direction.

By then, Jiang Chen was even faster than a free falling object.

Green Ghost had to adjust his posture to catch up. Jiang Chen fluttered his wings when he was only ten-odd yards above the ground and flew up into the air again.

Green Ghost failed to brake. Continuing to dart toward the ground, he left a long ditch behind him and muddied his pant legs.

He looked up and found there was a long distance between Jiang Chen and him again.

“Jiang Chen, no matter how hard you struggle, it won’t work!” Green Ghost shouted in fury. His eight Haloes of Heaven in Qihai were all switched on. The following explosion created a crater on the ground under his feet. He flew away with the force of a cannonball.

This time, he threw his palm out before entering attack range.

A giant bloody handprint dashed towards Jiang Chen, aiming to subdue him.

“Dragon power!”

Jiang Chen turned around to face this palm attack and also threw his palm out. Before Green Ghost could come up to him, he had widened the distance between them with the aid of the recoil force.

Green Ghost looked a bit strange. He suddenly realized this wouldn’t be an easy hunt.

He’s only in Cloud Five, but he was able to take a palm attack from me!

Green Ghost couldn’t figure it out. Although he had attacked from far away, that attack had contained seventy percent of his power, yet Jiang Chen hadn’t been hurt even a little bit.

Then the hunt started formally.

As Green Ghost had thought, Jiang Chen was using every method he could turn to in order to survive, like charging down suddenly or flying through complicated mountain ranges located in confusing terrains.

Some of these seemed ridiculous to Green Ghost, but to his surprise, they worked.

When the day had passed, Green Ghost couldn’t help but admire Jiang Chen’s strong will to live.

Others in the secret treasure had also noticed the disturbance they created. After all, it wasn’t a big place.

Some even recognized Jiang Chen and Green Ghost.

One was from the Hero Palace, and the other was from the Evil Cloud Palace. It was expected for them to fight to this extent.

Many people felt bad for Jiang Chen. Maybe it was because he was still a youngster in training, while Green Ghost was a mature man that the Evil Cloud Palace had finished training. The two of them weren’t at the same level.

Once Green Ghost caught up with Jiang Chen, the latter would undoubtedly die, and they were sure that this was what was going to happen.

Those witnessing the hunt didn’t know how long Green Ghost had been chasing Jiang Chen. They all thought it had just begun and wouldn’t take long to end.

Some people even wanted to follow them and watch, but they gave up the foolish idea at the thought of Green Ghost’s character.

A day and a night had passed.

Those who had witnessed the hunt during the day gathered with those who had witnessed it during the night. They didn’t find out a surprising fact until they started to chat.

The witnesses from the day couldn’t believe Jiang Chen had managed to hold on until the night.

The witnesses of the night couldn’t accept the fact that the pursuit had actually started in the morning.

Anyway, the news spread. Besides treasure seeking, it became one of the hottest topics in the secret treasure.

Some claimed Jiang Chen had already been killed, and others said Green Ghost had given up and Jiang Chen had survived.

Many versions of the story had appeared, but no one except the interested parties knew which one was true.

“Are you going to run to the end of the secret treasure?” Green Ghost had been chasing Jiang Chen for two days and three nights. He stopped on a mountain for a break, gasping for air.

“Uh-huh! It... it will end if you stop chasing me.” Jiang Chen stopped, too. He was more exhausted than Green Ghost.

Both of them took the opportunity to take recovery panaceas.

“The underground palace could have been plundered and ransacked of treasure. What’s in it for you that you’re still chasing me?” said Jiang Chen.

“I’ll be able to get the treasure back. It’s the same with you, I’ll finally get you!” Green Ghost’s will was surprisingly strong. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to keep chasing for such a long time.

“You wish.” Jiang Chen curled his lip. He threw something in his hand off the mountain without anyone noticing, then flew away once again.

Green Ghost pretended that he hadn’t seen it. After Jiang Chen had left, he went to the foot of the mountain to look for the thing the latter had thrown away.

It was a holy dragon ball! A consumed holy dragon ball, as transparent as glass. It was nothing but waste.

Green Ghost could tell it was a holy dragon ball by its shape and size.

Could he have mastered dragon power, too?

While he was wondering, something terrible abruptly occurred to him—how many holy dragon balls Jiang Chen had consumed in the past two days and three nights!

Is he even thinking about killing me?

Green Ghost closed his fist and crumbled the holy dragon ball. Although he had detected what Jiang Chen was doing, he didn’t think it was a big deal.

The hunt finally had came to some sort of result after four days.

Jiang Chen was sweating a lot, his clothes soaked. He landed on a beach as if he had exhausted all of his strength.

Yeah, that was right, a beach. If he went any further, a sea would be waiting ahead of him.

Since they were in a small world, if he flew there he would never be able to fly back again.

“Run. Keep running.” Green Ghost landed on the beach, too. He felt weak in the knees, maybe due to the sand.

In the secret treasure, his flying method was more tiring than Jiang Chen’s, but when Jiang Chen had been exhausted, he still had some strength left.

“Those who don’t know what’s happening here could assume I have treasure on me worthy of your persistent chasing!” said Jiang Chen.

“This is what you get for being my enemy!”

“All right. All right. Let’s have a fight then, starting in fifteen minutes,” Jiang Chen said helplessly, waving his hand.

“Good.”

If Jiang Chen had required a half-hour or hour-long break, he wouldn’t have agreed, but fifteen minutes would be okay, since it wouldn’t change anything.

He sat down and took lots of recovery panaceas.

A few minutes later, he realized he had made the worst decision ever.

Staring at Jiang Chen, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

He saw a great change occurring in Jiang Chen. He knew better than anything that it meant the latter was making a breakthrough in his state.

Jiang Chen became physically stronger, gaining one more Halo of Heaven in his Qihai. He had completely recovered from fatigue.

Green Ghost hurried to stand on his guard.

Jiang Chen said, “Thank you for chasing me so hard these days.”

He had been flying for four days straight in the secret treasure, where the gravity was different. Coupled with the life-threatening pursuit, he had been pushed beyond his limits.

His state had been stuck at Cloud Five, but the hunt had become a chance for him to break through.

“So what? I can keep chasing you until the secret treasure is closed!” Green Ghost said in anger.

“Did I say I was going to keep fleeing?” said Jiang Chen.

“Oh? You want a fight?” Green Ghost felt relieved. He didn’t really want to keep chasing him for another four days.

Jiang Chen snorted, which was rare for him. He wasn’t happy at all to see his rival relieved.
