Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 191 Dead End

In the serpentine and rugged waterway.Han Guang was entirely engulfed in a warm current, like a swiftly swimming fish, speeding through the water.

Behind him, the figure of Chen Mu dashed through the water like a flying shuttle, leaving a visible clear white line in his wake, a trail created by the boost of the Xun Wind Artistic Conception as he moved.

"Brother Chen, there's no need to chase me. I didn't do anything to your Sister Meng; her injury was inflicted by the Blood Hidden Pavilion. There's a clear distinction between debts of gratitude and those of vengeance... In this water, your Thunderclap Artistic Conception doesn't give you the speed advantage, catching up to me won't be so easy. If we keep this up, all the treasures in the underground cavern will be taken by the Hehuan enchantress and those swordsmen!"

As Han Guang fled, he gurgled these words through the water.

The sound traveled along the waterway and into Chen Mu's ears, but his face remained expressionless as he continued the pursuit without pause.

"Brother Chen, if I remember correctly, aren't you already betrothed? And isn't Meng Danyun also your beloved? It seems we pursue the same interests. In a few days, I can capture a Hehuan demoness for you to play with as a form of apology; how does that sound?"

Han Guang's messy voice continued to come through.

It wasn't entirely because he was talkative; he was actually in a lot of trouble. Relying solely on the 'River of Warm Spring' from the Warm Spring Artistic Conception wouldn't allow him to escape faster than Chen Mu in the water. If he recklessly bolted to the surface, Chen Mu would speed up while he would slow down, making escape impossible.

Only under the water did he have a slim chance of escape, but the problem was the complex environment of the underground cavern, which was also very unfamiliar. He wasn't clear on which way led to a dead end and which way afforded an escape route. Although he could perceive a little bit through his 'Spring Water,' the range was limited. If by chance he was cornered with no way out, then he would be trapped.

Though there was a chance he might just enter a favorable terrain and take the opportunity to slip away from Chen Mu, Han Guang didn't want to bet on luck, or rather, people from Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion never gambled on luck since they always acted according to the heavenly mechanism. If it came to a situation where they couldn't discern the heavenly mechanism and had to bet on fate, it usually meant they were at a dead end.

Chen Mu, of course, was very aware of this.

Therefore, he had no intention of letting Han Guang go. Even earlier, his first target had been Han Guang because the stewards of Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion were not to be feared, nor did they have a future. Only true disciples like Han Guang posed a real threat, being the ones who could potentially enter the Six Viscera Realm and even had a chance to glimpse the Marrow Cleansing Realm in the future.

Not that he feared anything, but when it came to trouble, one true disciple was far more significant than several stewards.

Worst case, after dealing with Han Guang, he would go back and

The lifeless eyes suddenly widened, fixed on Chen Mu as the body writhed, trying to struggle with something. But the blade of Chen Mu's Flowing Fire Blade, which had pierced his chest, suddenly burst forth with the overwhelming power of wind and thunder, shredding his Five Viscera and Six Viscera cleanly in an instant.

With an expressionless face, Chen Mu pulled out the blade and then swung it again, decapitating Han Guang's head from his neck.

This time, there were no more screams.
