Zu An's heart sank. Chen Xuan's cultivation was far superior to his, and his speed was naturally far superior as well.
Although Sunflower Illusion's movement technique is impressive, it is only good at short-distance maneuvering and transformation; it is not adept at long-distance sprinting.
Of course, if he could use the strong wind continuously, he could probably leave his opponent far behind, but that's obviously impossible.
"Couldn't you have called your men to come to the rescue?" Zu An asked hurriedly. Those people in the council hall were all mid- to high-ranking members of the gang, but if these people wanted to rebel, they couldn't possibly tell everyone in advance, otherwise the news would have been leaked long ago.
To everyone's surprise, Zheng Dan shook his head: "I spend very little time on the island, and these subordinates are basically controlled by Liu Chan and his men."
Zuan looked speechless: "You've been a terrible failure as a gang leader, haven't you?"
Zheng Dan was also embarrassed, mainly because she was the eldest daughter of the Zheng family and was destined to become Lady Haoming in the future. She was not interested in these things in the martial arts world, so she didn't put much effort into them. Who knew that something like this would happen?
Just as Chen Xuan was about to catch up, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked his way.
Chen Xuan roared in fury: "Get out of my way!"
Almost instantly, the man was beaten until he vomited blood.
But the man didn't give up at all, clinging to Chen Xuan tightly: "Chief, you should leave quickly."
"Ya Xiao~" Seeing that the other person was covered in blood but still clung to Chen Xuan's leg, Zheng Dan was also moved, and her beautiful eyes were full of tears.
"Let's go quickly, don't let his good intentions go to waste." Seeing that she was about to turn back, Zu'an hurriedly pulled her to keep running.
Zheng Dan bit her lip so hard that a faint trace of blood appeared, clearly showing that she was filled with hatred and anger.
"Only by escaping with your life can you turn back and avenge him." Zu'an was worried that she might actually do something, so he hurriedly reminded her again.
Zheng Dan was startled and suddenly remembered the filthy drug she had been given. If she stayed here, her fate would be extremely tragic, so she gave up the idea of going back to rescue her.
She murmured to herself, "All these years, Ya Xiao has never even seen what I look like, nor does he know my true identity. I'm so sorry..."
Zuan sighed: "There are always young people in this world who would do anything for love."
He thought to himself that he would never do such a foolish thing.
However, he immediately thought of the situation in the secret realm and how he had risked his life to return this time.
We're all fools, so why laugh at each other?
In a short while, the two arrived at the shore, where there was a hidden dock in the reeds, with a small boat moored next to it.
Zu An didn't have time to untie the ropes. He simply took out his Death-Defying Dagger and cut the ropes in half. Then, he jumped onto the small boat with Zheng Dan and grabbed the oars, rowing frantically.
Unfortunately, he had never rowed a boat before and couldn't master the technique at all. The harder he tried, the more the boat spun around in place.
Zheng Dan couldn't help but smile, seeing him so silly for the first time, and quickly said, "Let me do it."
While holding his hand down, she flicked her sleeve backward, causing a visible wave to surge up on the water, and then the small boat shot off like an arrow.
"Wow, if you went into the ferry business, you'd definitely make a lot of money," Zu'an couldn't help but exclaim.
Zheng Dan: "..."
Even now, this guy's thought process is still so bizarre.
Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind. Zu An turned around and saw Chen Xuan, his face flushed, running wildly on the water, chasing after the small boat.
"An iron staff that can float on water?!" Zu An was dumbfounded. Wasn't this guy only a sixth-rank cultivator? How could he fly?
However, he immediately realized that the flying in this world must be the kind of flying that is free and unrestrained in the sky. Those with higher cultivation levels should be able to do things like using leverage to leap and bounce.
Zheng Dan gritted his teeth, stood directly at the stern, and pushed backward with his hand, sending a wave surging backward.
At first, it looked only about a foot high, but as it moved forward, the waves grew bigger and bigger, eventually reaching several feet high.
Zuan blinked in disbelief. It turned out that her usual gentle and weak demeanor was all an act.
Sigh, why are all the women around me so fierce?
On the other side, Chen Xuan saw the surging giant wave, but his expression remained unchanged as he drew his long sword.
He hadn't drawn his sword during the fight with Chu Yucheng and Chu Hongcai at Shenxianju, but he did this time.
A flash of cold light appeared, and a huge phantom of a blade formed from sword energy appeared out of thin air in mid-air, then slashed down.
Its imposing presence made it seem as if the entire Bright Moon River could be cleaved in two.
The massive blade of energy cleaved through the giant wave before them, then continued its relentless advance, relentlessly slashing towards the small boat. Clearly, the opponent intended to destroy the boat, leaving them nowhere to escape.
Zheng Dan crossed his arms in front of him, and a curtain of water rose out of thin air, forcefully blocking the huge, menacing sword energy that was coming towards him.
Pfft~
Zheng Dan coughed up blood, and as if he had been hit by a car, he lost control and flew backward, about to fall into the water.
Zu An hurriedly reached out and pulled her into his arms, but the enormous impact made his blood boil.
"How are you?" Zu'an asked worriedly, noticing the blood at the corner of her mouth and especially how hot she was.
Zheng Dan let out a soft moan, her voice becoming frighteningly tender: "It's nothing...it's just..."
But she couldn't continue, because such a thing was too embarrassing for a young girl to talk about.
"He looks like he's been drugged with an aphrodisiac." Zuan couldn't help but mutter. He was familiar with the sight of the other person's face flushed and eyes full of tears.
