Path Of The Lilies 285 Escape From Capital City

The advisor's eyes widened when he saw Qi Huan in front of him. Even under the barrage of attack from the water blades, this young man suddenly sprinted to him. He managed to block the attack, but he sensed that he seemed to grow stronger.

Clang!

"Your little trick won't work in me," the advisor waved his hands as numerous water blades went to Qi Huan's direction once more.

Splas.h.!.+ Splas.h.!.+

The water blades continued to hit Qi Huan and dispersed when it hit his barrier. The advisor frowned, wondering how much the consumption of Eon Energy Qi Huan would need to block the attack. 

Little did he know that Qi Huan has the affinity with water. Even though he was under the barrage of attack, it didn't cost him a lot of Eon Energy. In addition, he started to absorb them when he was blocking the attack, effectively restoring his Eon Energy.

Bang!

The wall beside them was broken and Lu Wan came into the view. His hand was holding a torch, showing clearly who was the culprit that had been burning everything in the palace.

The advisor frowned. He had been so focused on the fight with Qi Huan that he neglected Lu Wan's presence. There were some doubts within his heart. How come this boy managed to hide his presence so perfectly and burned everything without detection? It shouldn't be possible.

"What are you doing here, Lu Wan?" Qi Huan lowered his voice to make it unrecognizable. He might not talk too much when he came here in the past, but it would be better if he stayed careful in case they still managed to detect some similarities. Even though he didn't have good relations.h.i.+p with his family members, he didn't want to drag Qi Kingdom.

It might lead to a war if they found out his real ident.i.ty as the prince in Qi Kingdom.

Lu Wan grinned. "The inner palace is going to be destroyed soon. We have to leave."

"Do you think, I'll…"

Slas.h.!.+

Qi Huan used his Eon Energy and broke the pillar of the building behind the advisor. At the same time, a wave of Eon Energy was directed at the advisor, preventing him from moving for a split second. He waved his hand. 

"Farewell, Mr. Advisor."

Bam! Bruck!

The burning building fell down to the advisor's direction. He had formed a barrier around him, but he knew that it was already more than enough to give these two the opportunity to run away from this place.

It was at this moment that he realized the inner palace was starting to crumble.

'Chen Tian is still inside. What the h.e.l.l did he do to take so long?'

Ignoring the two fleeing people, he dashed into the inner palace, intending to end the fight as soon as possible. Looking at the fallen guards on his way, his frown deepened. It seemed that the situation was worse than what he imagined at first.

Bam!

After Ye Jiao managed to injure Chen Tian, the man sensed that his Eon Energy circulation grew awry. His expression showed a trace of alarm as he looked towards Ye Jiao in disbelief.

"What did you…?"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Before he could finish his words, Ye Jiao had sprinted forward and began her barrage of attack. Every attack was. .h.i.tting precisely into Chen Tian's body. It was as if telling him that she would not stop until he fell down.

Slas.h.!.+ Clang!

Chen Tian felt his body grew weary the more attacks he made to Ye Jiao. His body was unable to move according to his wishes and Ye Jiao's attack began to hit his body. At the same time, he realized that there must be something wrong with him.

"You-!"

Jleb!

Twisting her body to evade Chen Tian's attack, Ye Jiao thrusted her dagger into the man's stomach, right into the position of his core. Her attack would not be able to completely shatter the man's martial arts' foundation given her current strength, but it was enough to wound him deeply.

Chen Tian's eyes widened as he utilized his Eon Energy, pus.h.i.+ng Ye Jiao back forcefully with a large wave of Eon Energy.

"You b*stard!"

Splas.h.!.+

The force from Chen Tian pushed Ye Jiao until she nearly crashed on the wall. It took a large effort for her to make use of the force and somersaulted in between to make sure that she landed in one piece.

The water started to subside as Chen Tian no longer able to hold on their position in place. Even though so, their volume was more than enough for Ye Jiao to make use to absorb the force from Chen Tian. At the very least, they were softer compared to the wall.

*Cough*

'Direct attack from Eon Energy Master Rank 4 is still too much after all.'

Wiping the blood on the corner of her lips, Ye Jiao hurriedly turned around and started running. With the poison, Chen Tian wouldn't be able to recover his strength quickly. In addition, she had wounded his core a bit, preventing him from chasing after her anymore.

With the wound on his core, he wouldn't be able to use his Eon Energy properly anymore. This would give her the chance she needed to get away from this accursed place.

Chen Tian could sense his Eon Energy became harder to control. His turned red as ruthlessness flashed within his eyes when he looked in Ye Jiao's direction.

"Come over here! I won't let you get away!"

Swis.h.!.+ Splas.h.!.+

Another waves of Eon Energy headed to Ye Jiao, but she evaded it agilely and let it hit the water instead. Without even turning around, she dashed out of the hall and ran out to the field. The moment she got out, she jumped to the side as several water blades appeared in her direction.

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Ye Jiao's eyes widened as she looked at the direction of the advisor. The man was pus.h.i.+ng out a large amount of Eon Energy and formed numerous water blades with his hand. Each of the water blades looked as if it was capable to cut off metals as if it was cutting fruits.

'This is bad.'

The man's skill was good as there was still quite a distance between her and him. She quickly dashed to a different direction and pushed her Eon Energy. At the same time, she activated her movements technique, conveniently brought her far away in split second.

The Advisor's eyes narrowed when he saw Ye Jiao went away so quickly. He knew that he wouldn't be able to catch up to that young girl. Gritting his teeth, he entered the hall and noticed the awful control of the water immediately.

"Release all the water, Chen Tian!"

Splas.h.!.+ Splas.h.!.+

Waves of water flooded the area the moment Chen Tian no longer held them in their place. He looked at the advisor with an aggravated expression. He knew that the renovation of the palace would take so much money. 

At the same time, there might be a lot of soldiers that he prized got swept with the water current.

"Can't you hold them back?"

"The palace is on fire, it'll help a bit," The advisor replied calmly. "On the other hand, do you really think that controlling the water like that is the only way to fight?"

"There's no water skill in Chen Kingdom."

"I'll teach you some of my family's moves. But before that, you better clean up this mess," the advisor said coldly.

Chen Tian nodded and walked out of the hall. Seeing the mess caused by the fire and flood, his heart ached. They were basically in ruins because of the attack those people did in his palace. Even now, he still didn't know who he had offended to make his palace in tatters like this.

Whenever he pushed someone, he always made sure that they didn't have anyone powerful enough to back them. That way, he could be calm and just did whatever he wanted.

But now, it seemed that he missed someone.

The advisor inspected Chen Tian's body and frowned. "There's an unfamiliar poison inside your body. I'm afraid only those at the Main Kingdom can possibly find the cure."

Chen Tian's eyes widened. "Are you telling me that I can never recover?"

"I don't know, if there's just a little bit of poison, you might be able to recover. But if there is a large amount…," the advisor's tone was grave.

Chen Tian's heart dropped to the bottom when he heard that. He knew very well what that implied. Even though he was still at rank 4 with the ability to control elements, his real fighting prowess wouldn't be any better than those at peak rank 3 or even worse.

With the poison restricting him, how could he become the true leader in Chen Kingdom? Even those Eon Energy Master Rank 3 late stage would be far better than him. The thought alone sliced Chen Tian's heart as he kicked the nearby pillar.

"d.a.m.n it!"

The Advisor's eyes grew cold as he looked into the distance. Whoever it was, he would search for them and make sure they paid for what they have done today!
