Chapter 311 Chased Again (1/2)

The misty waters of the reservoir were silent as usual.

Swish!

The silence was suddenly broken. One could only watch as an ethereal figure zoomed past, the Golden Genesis Qi at his feet propelling him forward as he desperately fled at a speed so fast that he was basically cutting through the water.

This figure was naturally Zhou Yuan.

His complexion was currently rather pale, while his scalp was still numb from before. The sight from earlier had really been a huge shock to him.

He never expected that he would encounter Li Qingchun soaking in a hot spring at the random spot he chose to surface for a rest!

The killing intent spewing from that woman’s gaze earlier was practically on the verge of materializing in reality.

“I’m finished!” Zhou Yuan could not stop grieving at his situation.

Boom!

The water behind him was suddenly ripped apart. Zhou Yuan looked back, only to be horrified by the sight Li Qingchan rapidly breaking through the water, frightening Genesis Qi whizzing around her body.

From the chilling aura of murder around her, it was obvious that she would not let this go.

Even while separated by a substantial amount of water, Zhou Yuan could still feel Li Qingchan’s murderous gaze lock onto him from afar.

It was a gaze that made a chill fill Zhou Yuan’s entire body, causing him to frantically circulate his Genesis Qi, pushing his speed to the limit as he made his crazed escape.

However, no matter how much he accelerated, Li Qingchan remained close on his heels, killing intent angrily churning around her.

“Senior sister Li, it wasn’t intentional! I didn’t know there would be someone on the surface!” Wrapped in Genesis Qi, Zhou Yuan’s voice was transmitted towards Li Qingchan in an attempt to calm her.

However, Li Qingchan ignored his words, her only response the intensifying murder in her eyes. With a grasp of her hand, Genesis Qi rose, transforming into countless lotus petals whose edges flickered with an eerily cold light.

Swish swish!

The blade like petals shot forth, aimed at Zhou Yuan’s vitals.

The icy sensation at this back alarmed Zhou Yuan, and he immediately began pushing his Ethereal Form to its peak. At the same time, Magical Python Scales swiftly covered his body as he desperately dodged left and right, narrowly avoiding the Genesis Qi petals.

Even though he had not been hit, the force from the petals that sliced past had drawn several light cuts on his skin.

“She’s crazy!”

Zhou Yuan’s complexion turned green with fear. Li Qingchan had shown no mercy, and had clearly already lost some of her rationality.

This also told Zhou Yuan that it was impossible to reason with her.

The best thing to do for now was to escape, and at the very minimum wait for Li Qingchan to calm down first before trying to talk. If she caught him, Zhou Yuan had the sinking feeling that he would be killed on the spot...

On Zhou Yuan’s shoulder, Tuntun watched with a gloating expression, clearly showing no intentions of helping.

With regards to Tuntun, all Zhou Yuan could do was send it a vicious, flesh-cutting glare as he accelerated again.

As such, a chase played out in the waters of the reservoir, both pursuer and the pursued giving it their all. The disturbance gave rise to giant waves, and the duo would occasionally encounter other disciples along the way. However, all of the disciples would hurriedly get out of the way at the sight of the murderous-looking Li Qingchan, astonishment on their faces as they watched the two go.

“Eh? Isn’t that senior sister Li Qingchan?”

“Who is she chasing?”

“I don’t recognize him… but from the looks of it, senior sister Qingchan is very angry. What did he do to offend her?”

“He deserves it. I can’t believe that he dared to anger senior sister Qingchan. He’d better hope he doesn’t meet me or I will catch him and bring him before senior sister Qingchan to atone for his crimes!”

“Hehe, with senior sister Qingchan personally in pursuit, there’s no way that he’s going to escape.”

“...”

Though Zhou Yuan encountered many disciples along the way, what made him despair was that not a single one had any intentions of helping him, instead casting unkind gazes at him.

“All of them are bastards!” Zhou Yuan cursed inside.

Behind him, Li Qingchan’s face was a little surprised as she gazed at Zhou Yuan’s figure. She had realised that even after chasing for so long, she was still unable to catch up to him.

This was somewhat inconceivable to her.

She could sense that Zhou Yuan was merely at the second layer Alpha-Origin, someone whom she could basically squash with a single palm. However, why was she unable to catch up?

Moreover, travelling in the Genesis reservoir was extremely taxing on one’s Genesis Qi. Ordinarily speaking, a second layer disciple should have run out of steam long ago, and yet Zhou Yuan seemed to have plenty of Genesis Qi left.

“No matter who you are, I will not easily let you off today!” Li Qingchan’s face was covered in frost. This was the first time she had experienced something like this. The mere thought that everything had been seen by this bastard who had suddenly appeared made rage and embarrassment surge in his heart, nearly destroying whatever rationality she had left.

Iciness flashed in her eyes as she locked onto Zhou Yuan’s figure.

Her hand abruptly formed a seal, and vigorous Genesis Qi immediately swept out. It swiftly gathered together, forming a half foot tall snow lotus.
