Chapter 1694: Chapter 392: Chen Jie: Goodness, Liu Futong Is Now My Brother Too

Pfft...

Han Miaozhen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and the next moment her whole body was blown away, crashing directly into a courtyard wall with a boom.

Boom!

The courtyard wall built with red bricks at Liu Residence was instantly blasted out with a human-shaped hole, and at this moment Chen Jie stamped his foot and rushed straight out, heading directly towards Han Miaozhen.

Han Miaozhen vomited blood; the palm strike just now had hit her viscera, displacing all of her internal organs.

At this moment, she could barely catch her breath, seeing Chen Jie rushing over with despair in her eyes.

In the distance, Du Zundao roared: "Chen Jiusi, how dare you appear again, hand over the Qiankun Great Method!"

Du Zundao’s voice spread across Bright Peak, and at this moment countless people looked up.

"Chen Jiusi!"

Hearing Du Zundao’s voice, many people realized, as many of Chen Jie’s old acquaintances were also present here.

Chen Jie noticed Du Zundao’s approaching speed and then looked at the distance between himself and Han Miaozhen. Chen Jie once again used the Thunderbolt Step, his body shooting towards Han Miaozhen like thunder. He would make it in time; he could definitely kill Han Miaozhen before Du Zundao arrived.

As for finding the key, hopefully, Han Miaozhen hadn’t hidden it in some random place.

As Chen Jie thought, his eyes were already full of killing intent. Seeing this ferocious gaze, Han Miaozhen, during her blow-away process, shivered. She realized that Chen Jiusi truly harbored murderous intentions.

Thinking of this, Han Miaozhen immediately panicked.

However, she still thought of a possibility for survival. At this moment, she tore off the key hanging around her neck and threw it away in an instant.

"If you want to save Liu Futong, go and fetch the key!"

Han Miaozhen screamed urgently. She knew that if Chen Jie caught up with her, she would certainly die. Rather than that, it was better to let go of the key and save her life.

Chen Jie’s face changed; he looked at the flying key, then at Han Miaozhen.

Whether to kill Han Miaozhen or grab the key, that was the question. Han Miaozhen could be considered his nemesis, shadows of her obstructing his efforts everywhere along his growth path, making him earnestly want to eliminate her.

But then again, Han Miaozhen had been against him all the way, and Chen Jie had basically figured her out. When he was weaker, she couldn’t pose fatal danger to him. After he obtained the Melt God Pill and elevated his strength to Melt God Realm, the threat posed by Han Miaozhen would be even smaller.

And the key is indeed pivotal now; Du Zundao was coming. Du Zundao is ruthless, and most importantly, he is a strong being in the Melt God Realm. Currently, Chen Jie was not his match at all. When he arrived, Chen Jie’s only option would be to flee. However, Du Zundao would follow him like a shadow.

Even relinquishing the Qiankun Great Method wouldn’t work out because Du Zundao certainly wouldn’t allow another person who knew the Qiankun Great Method to stay alive.

Between two undesirable outcomes, choose the lesser. Without a doubt, Han Miaozhen was the lighter choice.

Thinking thus, Chen Jie directly launched an attack towards Han Miaozhen with a palm strike: "Shocking Hundred Miles."

A palm strike of the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms was sent out, and Han Miaozhen immediately covered her head with both hands, the Flame Power around her body rising, just enough to block Chen Jie’s Dragon Capturing Palms. After taking this palm strike, Han Miaozhen, enduring it forcefully, utilized the flying force to propel even further away.

At this point, Mei Tu and Chen Long wanted to pursue but were already too late.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie, mobilizing all his speed, swooshed forward, catching the key just before it hit the ground.

With the key in hand, Chen Jie turned and ran into the house.

And outside, Du Zundao had already arrived within less than a hundred meters away, seeing Chen Jie run into the house, standing puzzled on a rooftop, maintaining some distance from Liu Residence.

At this moment, Han Miaozhen clambered up, and Du Zundao looked at her and asked, "You gave him the key?"

Han Miaozhen replied, "If I didn’t, could I still survive?"

Du Zundao asked, "Why didn’t you wait for me?"

Han Miaozhen clutched her chest and said, "I should ask you from the start of this fight, why didn’t you come over; what were you hesitating for, were you waiting for me to die?"

Du Zundao was left speechless by Han Miaozhen’s words.

He indeed bore some responsibility for this, and since Han Miaozhen was a decent ally for him, given the turn of events, there was little he could do.

Han Miaozhen said, "And how did the Twelve Elders infiltrate? Didn’t you say they were all our own people? Why did Chen Long and Mei Tu betray us? Du Zundao, you’re utterly a failure, cough cough..."

Han Miaozhen coughed, leaving Du Zundao momentarily clueless on how to rebut, and at this moment, Han Miaozhen glanced back at him and said, "Aren’t you leaving, waiting for Liu Futong to regain his strength and capture you?"

Du Zundao frowned and asked, "Couldn’t you have given him a fake key?"

"Cough cough... Chen Jiusi, do you wish to deceive him?"

Han Miaozhen retorted, clutching her chest, immediately turned and descended the mountain, her speed incredibly fast, without any hesitation, realizing she couldn’t stay at Bright Peak nor with the Zoroastrian Sect any longer.

Du Zundao was still hesitating, a glimmer of hope still lingering, maybe Chen Jiusi simply couldn’t unlock the iron chain?

Maybe the key wouldn’t work well?

Maybe the Mystic Iron Chain was rusty, and the keyhole couldn’t be unlocked?

Such thoughts, Du Zundao didn’t even believe himself, yet couldn’t stop himself from hoping.
