Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1568 - 360: Feint to the East, Chen 94 Faces the Two Kunlun Elder Calligraphers Alone

The intense shockwave from the explosion burst outward immediately, flinging the nearby soldiers who were observing into the air all together, inflicting serious wounds on them.

The astute soldiers who evaded beforehand now stared at the demolished city entrance, their countenances ashen, inwardly relieved that they followed the counsel. Had they disregarded the warning and stubbornly sought their end, they would hardly believe their human frames tougher than the sturdy portal reinforced with iron birch and steel layers.

This robust iron barrier had been pulverized by one palm blow. If their fragile forms had arrogantly pressed on moments ago, a single strike would probably have crushed them to fragments.

Right then, every soldier regarded Chen Jie with terror. Was this the famed Molten Furnace Realm powerhouse known across the lands?

Such might lay far beyond what these lowly troops could endure.

Chen Jie scanned the troops around him and declared, "Alright, this is as far as you escort me. Goodbye."

With those words, Chen Jie hoisted a sack onto his back and strode directly beyond the city, yet suddenly a voice bellowed, "Chen Jiusi, where are you escaping to? Surrender your life to me!"

Chen Jie spun around and spotted two figures clad in Kunlun Elder’s robes who had swiftly closed in on him.

Chen Jie froze briefly, then identified them as Elder Shu and Elder Hua of the Kunlun Sect. In that instant, Elder Shu roared in fury and unleashed a palm toward Chen Jie.

He employed the Kunlun Wind-stabilizing Palm, among the world’s most celebrated Inner Family Palm Techniques, boasting tremendous force. As the strike flew, Chen Jie sensed the ambient air squeezing inward upon him.

Yet Chen Jie lacked the leisure to battle fiercely. Right away, Chen Jie countered with a palm [Shocking Hundred Miles]

Roar...

At once, a majestic Divine Dragon surged toward Elder Shu. Elder Shu, catching sight of it, knit his brows and met the incoming technique with his own palm.

A deafening blast echoed,

Elder Shu was hurled backward outright, and Elder Hua hastened to steady him. Though propped up, Elder Shu snapped irritably, "Why are you holding me up? Go capture Chen Jiusi."

He gestured sharply at Chen Jie while speaking.

Chen Jie had no intention of lingering in pointless skirmishes. He pivoted and fled, prompting Elder Hua to pursue without delay, with Elder Shu trailing close behind.

Meanwhile, the city’s official troops reeled from the prior detonation. In moments, a throng of soldiers surged chaotically, converging on the East City Gate.

At that juncture, within a tavern in Lantian County, Qi Chun of the King Qi Residence was hosting the esteemed experts from the Tang Sect on King Qi’s behalf to offer their aid.

Chang Xuzi of the Kunlun Sect joined them as escort.

Just as the group prepared to lift their cups and toast, a fearsome boom erupted abruptly!

The patrons in the establishment jolted, eyeing the quivering goblets on the tables in stunned silence, and then the heavy tread of boots echoed ascending the staircase.

Their pulses quickened, sensing trouble afoot.

Then a trooper dashed upstairs and dropped to one knee, reporting, "To the Great Commander, Chen Jiusi has breached the East Gate and fled, with the two Kunlun Sect elders in pursuit."

Hearing this, Overlord Blade Qi Chun exclaimed, "Chen Jiusi, you’ve finally revealed yourself."

He slammed the table and commanded, "Chase him for me."

Chang Xuzi interjected, "Commander Qi, hold on a moment."

Qi Chun turned to him and queried, "Hmm, what do you want to say?"

Chang Xuzi replied, "Besides capturing Chen Jiusi, let’s not forget about Liu Futong’s granddaughter."

Qi Chun paused and agreed, "Right, right, that girl is the main point."

With that, Chang Xuzi addressed the soldier, "When Chen Jiusi broke out via the East Gate, was he by himself?"

The soldier answered, "He was alone."

Chang Xuzi’s brow furrowed slightly, but the soldier added abruptly, "That’s right, Chen Jiusi seemed to be carrying a sack."

"A sack?"

Chang Xuzi creased his forehead and mused, "What’s inside that sack? Could it be a person?"

The reporting soldier hesitated awkwardly, "This, this subordinate doesn’t know, but it should be able to contain a person."

Chang Xuzi concluded, "Then there’s no mistake, Commander Qi."

Qi Chun ordered, "Chase, by the Prince’s command, this person must not be allowed to leave Shanxi alive."

Chang Xuzi echoed, "Chase."

The Second Master of Tang Sect and Ming Yuzhen chimed in, "We happen to be idle as well, let’s go with the two of you to capture Chen Jiusi."

The Second Master added, "I missed the last trip to Wushan, and when I returned, my brother told me that a young hero named Chen Jiusi had emerged in the world. This time, I must see what kind of hero he truly is."

Ming Yuzhen, upon hearing, said, "Yes, when I crossed paths with him at Wushan last time, I benefited greatly. This time, I will see if Chen Jiusi has made any progress."

As they conversed, they exited the restaurant promptly, arriving soon at the street where followers had readied swift steeds for them.

Mounting the steeds, they galloped toward the East Gate.

Concurrently, the official soldiers shifted from beyond the walls to the King Qi Residence amassed at the East City Gate, causing the guards at the remaining three entrances to thin noticeably.

At that point, beyond the West City Gate, an unsightly young woman also caught the uproar from the East Gate and observed numerous troops from the West Gate rushing eastward, rendering the West Gate largely unguarded.

She glanced toward the West City Gate, her face showing inner turmoil, and murmured, "I’ll only wait for you for three hours, don’t think I’ll be grateful to you for this."

With that, she noticed two proclamations affixed to the gate, one with a reward for Chen Jiusi, the other for a hideous girl bearing a ghastly facial scar.

The unsightly girl examined the reward notice, finding Chen Jiusi’s tip at fifty taels.

Her own lead fetched merely twenty taels, prompting her irked whisper, "The people of the King Qi Residence are truly foolish. No matter how formidable Chen Jiusi is, how can he be more valuable than me? Setting my bounty lower than Chen Jiusi’s, they really have no eyes."
