Chen An ran away very quickly.
He did not dare to fly on his sword because he would be too exposed and would easily become a target. Moreover, there would be too little space to operate if he floated in the sky.
On the other hand, if he ran on the ground, there were many terrains that could be used to hide or help him escape the enemy’s pursuit.
“This Foundation Establishment Little Cultivator is quite fast.”
The woman in the purple dress looked at Chen An, who was getting further and further away. She was not anxious at all. She only smiled calmly and charmingly.
Soon, she raised her slender legs under her dress and took a small step forward.
in the next moment, the scenery around her suddenly changed. Just like the scenery outside the high-speed rail window, it instantly blurred.
All of this happened the moment she raised her leg.
When her exquisite foot landed on the ground, she, who had been pulled hundreds of kilometers away by Chen An, instantly appeared in front of Chen An.
Ground Shrinking Technique!
“Young Master, where are you going?’”
The woman in the purple dress opened her red lips slightly. There was a hint of superiority in her beautiful eyes, and her exquisite and flawless pure face was filled with playfulness.
Looking at the woman in the purple dress with an enchanting smile in front of him, Chen An’s heart instantly fell to the bottom.
When did she catch up? Why didn’t my divine consciousness pick up on her?
The difference in strength was too great!
He was going to die today! Chen An was filled with dejected thoughts.
Fortunately, these thoughts were fleeting.
In the next moment.
Without thinking, he turned around and ran away.
He thought of his family at home. As the head of the family, he still had to go back and take care of them. How could he die here?
No matter how slim the hope was, he had to escape!
if he could not escape, he would kowtow and be the lackey of this purple-dressed woman.
If it really didn’t work out, he would fight to the death and kill her with all his might!
“It’s a pity that I’m only a Cultivator with the Metal and Fire-type Spiritual Roots now. 1 haven’t learned the corresponding escape technique.”
“If only I had the Earth and Wood-type Spiritual Roots. That way, I would be able to learn the Earth Escape Technique and the Wood Escape Technique. I would have an absolute advantage in running in this forest.”
Chen An thought to himself as he fled.
Behind him, the woman in the purple dress had been standing on the spot without moving. She watched him run away, and a smile that was like a cat playing with a mouse appeared on her lips.
After he ran more than a thousand meters away, the woman in the purple dress took another step forward unhurriedly.
In the next moment, it appeared in front of him.
“Young Master, do you still want to continue running?”
The woman in the purple dress had a smile on her face the entire time. She was not worried that Chen An would escape from her grasp.
Chen An stopped running.
He knew that he could not outrun the purple-dressed woman in front of him.
There was only one outcome. He would waste the spiritual qi in his body for nothing.
“A wise man submits to circumstances.”
Seeing that Chen An had stopped running, the woman in the purple dress smiled innocently and lustfully.
She took enchanting steps and walked towards Chen An with a charming smile. Her voice was as pleasant as an oriole. “Don’t worry, I won’t torture you. 1’11 only absorb your essence. I’ll stop after I’m full. As for whether you can withstand it or not, that will depend on whether your essence is vigorous.”
Just as the woman in the purple dress was about to reach him,
Chen An saw the shadow under her feet and suddenly remembered that he still had the Shadow Killing Technique.
Hence, without thinking, he used the Shadow Kill Technique.
At the same time, he also used the Breath Control Technique.
Then, he instantly disappeared on the spot and crawled into the shadow under the purple dress.
“Eh? Where is he?1‘
The woman in the purple dress was a little stunned.
Soon after, she expanded her divine consciousness and senses, constantly searching for Chen An.
Little did she know that Chen An was hiding in her shadow under her dress.
Sensing the powerful divine consciousness emitted from the woman in the purple dress, Chen An did not dare to move. He had been trying his best to restrain his aura and empty his mind.
He was afraid that the woman in the purple dress would sense him.
“Strange, why did this human male Cultivator suddenly disappear?”
“Is this place haunted?”
The woman in the purple dress searched for a long time but could not sense Chen An’s existence. She felt that it was unbelievable.
She refused to believe it. She searched for a while more, but she still could not find any traces of Chen Am
Helpless, she could only give up and leave gloomily.
During this period, Chen An had been hiding in her shadow and restraining his aura. When he realized that a spirit rat had passed by not far ahead, he shifted to the spirit rat’s shadow.
“Hmm?”
The woman in the purple dress suddenly stopped and frowned.
Just now, she sensed Chen An s presence.
However, it only lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
“Illusion?”
The woman in the purple dress was puzzled.
On the other hand, Chen An had already gradually distanced himself from the woman in the purple dress as the spirit rat ran.
Until he could not see the purple-dressed woman at all.
With a thought, he crawled out of the spirit rat’s shadow and rushed straight home.
“That was really dangerous just now. Fortunately, 1 know the Shadow Kill Technique and the Breath Holding Technique. Otherwise, I would definitely be in danger and would be squeezed dry by that fox demon.”
“It’s scary to think about it.”
“Speaking of which, I wonder how the bottom of the purple-dressed womans dress is. If I wasn’t afraid of being sensed by her divine consciousness just now, 1 would definitely have raised my head and looked.”
Chen An thought about these things and quickly returned to the tunnel at home.
He originally wanted to walk around the abandoned wooden houses and see if he could collect some supplies.
However, out of caution, he dismissed the thought.
He wanted to stay in the tunnel for half a month and observe the situation outside first.
In any case, the resources stored now were enough to last for a year and a half.
“Husband, why did you take so long to return?”
Chen An had just walked to the empty area in the center of the tunnel when Wen Zhiyun walked over with her daughter, Chen Yi Ke, in her arms.
Song Huaying also walked over. Her face was filled with worry as she said, “Husband, I’ve been contacting you with a voice transmission talisman just now, but you didn’t respond. Did something happen up there?”
Shen Qingyi and Gu Xinyue didn’t say anything, but their gazes landed on Chen An, quietly waiting for him to speak.
Chen An didn’t think of hiding it and said truthfully,
“I just encountered a fox demon, she lives by absorbing the essence of human men. The spiritual pressure emitted from its body is as high as the Golden Core realm. It has nine tails behind it and is suspected to be a legendary Nine-Tailed Fox.”
Nine-Tailed Fox?
When they heard these words, their wives looked surprised.
This was a legendary great demon.
Not even one out of ten thousand fox demons would produce one. How could it appear in Redwood Forest?
Their husband must have seen wrongly!
His wives all thought so.
Among them, Shen Qingyi asked, “Husband, is it possible that you saw wrongly?”
“If it’s really the Nine-Tailed Fox, how did you escape from her just now?”
Shen Qingyi was a straightforward person and had always spoken her mind.
She did not suspect that Chen An was lying, but she had some doubts in her heart.
Chen An thought for a moment and said, “I shouldn’t be wrong. There are indeed nine tails, but I’m not sure if it’s the Nine-Tailed Fox.”
“It should be just an ordinary fox demon,” Shen Qingyi explained. “The
Nine-Tailed Fox is a supreme existence among fox demons. Many fox demons yearn to become Nine-Tailed Foxes. They often use their tails to decorate themselves and experience the posture of the Nine-Tailed Fox.”
Cosplay?
Was it really just for decoration?
Chen An recalled the scene of the woman in the purple dress descending from the sky. He remembered that the nine tails behind her could move. But at that moment, he could not verify her identity..
