[Shadowless Divine Movement (Advanced Level): 0/400]
Wang Chen took a deep breath, pure magical energy instantly flooding into every part of his body.
In the next moment, his figure shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.
It was the most brilliant time of spring, with endless wilderness covered in lush grass, and patches of brightly colored wildflowers blooming softly, filling the air with the fragrance of earth.
Wang Chen’s speed increased, leaving a lightly shadow on the green, velvety grass.
The destructive power of advanced level Shadowless Divine Movement was unmistakable!
Shadowless Divine Movement was one of the skills Wang Chen had mastered that was the hardest to earn experience points with.
This movement technique required achieving a complete mana cycle to gain just 1 point of experience.
Thus, despite spending a lot of time practicing, he only broke through to the advanced level today.
Compared to before, Wang Chen’s current speed had increased by at least thirty percent.
His movement techniques appeared even more agile!
He soared over the fields and rushed up the hillside covered in bushes, and in the blink of an eye, he slipped into the dense forest.
Large trees blocked his path, but Wang Chen continuously changed his footwork, flowing through the gaps between the trees like a fish in water or a bird in the sky, moving with incredible agility, hardly slowing down!
It was said that when this escape technique was cultivated to the highest realm, one would not leave any shadows on the ground while moving.
Thus, it earned the name "Shadowless Divine Movement."
Wang Chen was still quite far from such a realm, but the advanced level Shadowless Divine Movement undoubtedly gave him a card to save his life, providing a chance to escape when facing an unbeatable opponent.
Screech~
Just as he emerged from the forest, Wang Chen suddenly heard a loud eagle cry from above.
He halted and looked up at the sky.
There, two massive eagles were soaring, seemingly hunting!
Demonic Birds?
Wang Chen narrowed his eyes.
Shadowless Divine Movement was best practiced in open areas; otherwise, it was difficult to fully utilize the movement techniques.
In the past two months, Wang Chen’s movements had extended beyond the mountain gate, continuously exploring the outside world.
He was now thirty miles away from the Yunyang Sect’s outer mountain gate.
In addition to practicing spells, Wang Chen was also looking for a hidden escape route so that when the time came to flee, he wouldn’t act like a headless fly.
Although this place belonged to the outside world and was desolate, Wang Chen had rarely seen any wildlife.
The reason was quite simple; there were many loose cultivators’ Gathering Points in the area surrounding the Yunyang Sect’s mountain gate.
The loose cultivators had long since cleared the surrounding area of animals, a task they completed hundreds of years ago.
As for magical beasts, they were nowhere to be found!
These two eagles were of an extraordinary size, unmistakably belonging to the category of large carnivorous raptors.
What could have driven them to a place so devoid of prey?
“Help!”
Just as Wang Chen was observing the eagles, a desperate cry for help pierced the air.
Instinctively, Wang Chen turned towards the sound and saw a group of disheveled cultivators emerging from the distant woods.
Most of them were enveloped in a protective aura.
Yet, they stumbled and staggered, their pace barely faster than that of ordinary people!
Loose cultivators?
Wang Chen sharpened his gaze and took in their appearance.
They were clearly not members of the Yunyang Sect; there were about thirty or forty of them, ranging from the young to the elderly.
Terror was etched on their faces, and each was unarmed, fleeing for their lives.
Some of the loose cultivators cried out for help as they ran, looking utterly wretched and pitiful.
It was as if they were being pursued by savage beasts!
The truth soon revealed itself.
With the thunderous sound of hooves, one after another, Biqing Dragon Scale Horses burst forth from the trees.
The riders, clad in brocade robes or splendid garments, rode gracefully, as if gliding on the wind and mist.
They were all young men and women, in their teens or twenties, each carrying a bow and exuding a spirited confidence.
A white-robed man at the forefront called out, “Tongtong Junior Sister, today I’ll let you take three shots. Let’s see who can bag more prey. The loser treats at the Moonlit Pavilion, how about that?”
“Deal!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other riders erupted in cheers.
A woman in a red dress, her figure graceful, scoffed and shouted, “Bring it on! I’m not afraid of you!”
She swiftly drew her bow, nocking three feathered arrows with practiced ease.
Her aim was fixed on the fleeing loose cultivators ahead.
In an instant, she released the taut bowstring.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three arrows shot forth, transforming into streaks of white light that crossed the distance in a flash.
They struck a loose cultivator who had fallen behind.
This cultivator was elderly, with white hair, and was the slowest of the group.
Though he was shielded by a Spirit Light Shield, the woman in the red dress was an exceptional archer; the first arrow shattered his protective aura.
The other two arrows followed in quick succession, piercing through the old cultivator’s body almost simultaneously!
“Ah!”
He involuntarily let out a piercing scream and collapsed forward onto the ground.
Crimson blood gushed out, quickly spreading beneath him!
In moments, he was silent.
“Beautiful!”
“Junior Sister Tongtong, your archery is superb!”
“Brother Zhang, it looks like you’re destined to lose today!”
“Haha!”
A group of riders cheered, teasing the white-robed man.
He cursed with a laugh, “Damn it, stop yapping! If you don’t act soon, the prey will all be gone!”
The young men and women chuckled as they raised their weapons, drawing their bows and pursuing the fleeing loose cultivators.
Feathered arrows whistled through the air, and one by one, the loose cultivators fell into pools of blood.
The whinnies of Biqing Dragon Scale Horses, the twang of bowstrings, and the agonized cries of the loose cultivators…
All echoed and intertwined under the vast blue sky!
A few loose cultivators, realizing escape was impossible, stopped in anger to fight back.
But they were instantly met with a barrage of arrows, turning them into human pincushions!
These hunters, though young, were ruthless and showed no mercy.
Even the delicate-looking young girls, sweet in appearance, were shockingly cruel.
They were clearly seasoned in hunting loose cultivators.
Their coordination was seamless, playing their deadly game like cats toying with mice!
At that moment, witnessing the scene, Wang Chen quietly retreated into the woods.
Then he turned and fled.
He recognized these riders who hunted loose cultivators.
They were all second-generation cultivators from Yunshan City, notorious for their arrogance and reckless behavior!
Wang Chen had never imagined they could be so vicious, utterly devoid of humanity.
Though he deeply sympathized with the loose cultivators being slaughtered like prey,
Wang Chen knew all too well that he could do nothing.
In the eyes of these second-generation cultivators, he, a lowly outer sect cultivator, was no different from the loose cultivators.
If discovered, they would almost certainly kill him to silence any witnesses!
As Wang Chen prepared to use the Shadowless Divine Movement to escape, a gray figure flashed by like lightning,
Blocking his path!
