Chapter 706: Climbing the Mountains with You

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Boom!
A magnificent black Ancestral Dragon Palace whistled across the sky before vanishing into the distance in the blink of an eye.
When Hao Ren was in the Nine Dragon Palace last time, he had entered two Ancestral Dragon Palaces and knew that they were very heavy and made with huge black stones.
However, such a massive building was flying so swiftly in the air. What kind of power was required?
Usually, when the four ocean dragon clans opened the Nine Dragon Palaces every 50 years, the nine Ancestral Dragon Palaces always changed their positions.
It turned out that while array formation was in operation, the nine big palaces were continuously flying around in the Nine Dragon Palace!
The black Ancestral Dragon Palace disappeared in the distance gradually, and Hao Ren didn’t even see which Ancestral Dragon Palace it was.
“Let’s go,” Su Han touched Hao Ren and reminded him.
“Ok!”
The shock that Hao Ren received was beyond words. The nine Ancestral Dragon Palaces were moving in a predetermined pattern; it was a major void array!
The center of the nine Ancestral Dragon Palaces must be the core of the Nine Dragon Palace and the array formation!
Only when the four ocean dragon palaces opened the Nine Dragon Palaces together, the array formation would stop operating temporarily, and the nine Ancestral Dragon Palaces would land on the ground in different positions.
Hua… While he was speculating the movement pattern of the palaces, Hao Ren moved the hundun sword energy toward the foot of the mountain.
Standing at the end of the sword energy, Su Han held Hao Ren’s shoulders with both hands.
Her full chest pressed against Hao Ren’s back, bringing tingling sensations to Hao Ren. However, it wasn’t the time for such thoughts. After all, he and Su Han might die here at any moment and wouldn’t have a second chance.
Su Han shared Hao Ren’s thoughts. She was placing her greatest hope on Hao Ren and didn’t care about minor things such as the touching of their bodies.
Once they arrived at that place, her nature essence would fully recover. Hao Ren’s main responsibility was to help her cross this area full of mountains and wild fierce beasts.
Thud.
Hao Ren landed lightly on a stretch of grassland.
The wild grass was more than two meters tall, hiding Hao Ren and Su Han’s whereabouts. Before the fierce beasts that were usually hundreds of meters tall, they were as tiny as two insects.
Su Han praised Hao Ren’s route choice silently as it aligned with her own. It seemed that Hao Ren was also observant and had a quick mind.
“We can’t get separated.” Hao Ren reached back and caught Su Han’s left hand.
Due to Su Han’s loss of nature essence in the Nine Dragon Palace, Hao Ren couldn’t sense her location easily, and they couldn’t use modern communication devices. If he and Su Han got separated, they would be in trouble.
With her hand in his, Su Han’s heart raced, and she immediately quickened her steps to walk alongside Hao Ren.
Su Han’s fingers were cold and smooth like jade.
Hao Ren gripped her hand and decided on the direction before striding through the grass.
Su Han gripped her longsword tightly, but since she couldn’t circulate nature essence, she barely had the strength of a martial arts master.
Hao Ren’s sword energies floated at the top of the two-meter-tall grass to scout the area around them.
They were now at least about a dozen kilometers away from the mountain on the other side, and it was the most dangerous distance that they needed to cover.
Gaa! Gaa! Several huge white birds flew in the high sky, and Hao Ren dropped down onto the ground in a hurry, pressing down Su Han with him.
Hu!
All the green grass was blown down by the huge wind, revealing about a dozen small beasts that were hiding in the grass.
The huge white birds reached out their iron-like claws, dashed down to the ground, and grabbed five to six small beasts before tearing them into pieces. Then, they flew to the distance with blood dripping from their claws.
Due to their small sizes, Su Han and Hao Ren’s bodies were covered by the two-meter-tall green grass as it tilted sideways, helping them hide.
After the huge birds flew away, the green grass bounced back, and Hao Ren raced forward with Su Han.
The attack from the huge birds frightened the small beasts in the grass, making it the perfect moment for Hao Ren and Su Han to cross this grassland!
Swoosh!
A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from Hao Ren’s back.
Hao Ren turned his head and saw another huge bird hovering in the sky and throwing a huge rock toward him!
Bang!
The 1280 sword energies merged into 256 hundun sword energies, and they stabbed toward the rock!
With a loud noise, the huge black rock was shattered by Hao Ren’s sword energies before falling on the ground.
Hao Ren was about to heave a sigh of relief when he found a silent shadow moving toward him from another side.
Another huge white bird soared toward him with great speed while its fluttering white wings created almost no air currents!
Hao Ren who had just cast all his sword energies was ashen-faced with shock, knowing that he had underestimated the hunting skills of the fierce beasts in the Nine Dragon Palace!
Dang!
Su Han stabbed her sword forward while her body leaned backward!
The longsword flew out for dozens of meters while Su Han was sent flying for more than ten meters even though she escaped from the claws of the huge bird!
“Su Han!” Hao Ren yelled and hurried toward her.
Boom! A burning flame swept toward Hao Ren from the back. The huge white bird that had attacked Hao Ren first struck toward Hao Ren’s shoulders!
These two birds surrounded Hao Ren and Su Han and attacked separately!
The huge white birds had an intricate hunting strategy!
With the one-on-one strategy, they wouldn’t allow Hao Ren and Su Han to get together again!
When Hao Ren was about to be hit, the sword energies around him condensed into a colorful energy sword as Hao Ren used the first strike of the Mystic Water Sword Techniques!
Slash!
Hao Ren’s sword cut off one claw of the huge bird!
In pain, the huge bird that attacked Hao Ren flew up. Hao Ren looked back and saw Su Han rolling in the grass while the other huge bird clawed up dozens of pounds of soil from the ground beside her!
She escaped the claw by a few inches. Otherwise, it would have torn her into pieces!
Without her sword or any nature essence, Su Han was pale. She was about to leap up and roll again when the other claw of the huge bird dashed toward her like a small mountain.
Su Han clearly saw the red flames in the center of the claw! Dodging it was impossible! She closed her eyes, ready to take this fatal blow!
Dang! A loud noise almost shattered Su Han’s eardrum.
She opened her eyes and saw Hao Ren flying up with both hands on the colorful energy sword, piercing the claw and blocking the powerful attack for her!
The flames in the center of the claw were suddenly jetted out, knocking Hao Ren back onto the muddy ground like a cannonball!
“Go!”
The moment that Hao Ren flew out, he waved his arms and commanded that energy sword.
The colorful energy sword which had pierced through the claw suddenly shot up into the long slim neck of the huge white bird.
Bang! The colorful energy sword suddenly shattered and turned into hundreds of hundun sword energies, exploding in its long neck.
The huge bird that was more than 100 meters tall fell to the ground.
Su Han watched in shock and then stood up with dirty hands while panting heavily.
Seeing its partner killed, the other huge bird that had lost a toe let out a shrill cry before flying to the distance.
The two huge birds were behind the group. After seeing that the other bird was killed, this one didn’t linger around. It fled to join its group in a hurry.
Hao Ren turned and looked at Su Han with fear in his eyes, and sweat was dripping from his forehead. Although the battle lasted only a moment, and they used only three attacks, it was an incredibly chilling experience!
After dashing over to pick up her longsword, Su Han grabbed Hao Ren’s hand and raced toward their destination, not giving a thought to the wound in her shoulder.
She was afraid that the huge birds would return. If they did, she and Hao Ren wouldn’t be able to fight them!
Seeing her purple sweater turning red by the blood that was oozing from her shoulder, Hao Ren also didn’t dare to stop and bandage her wound. He ran with Su Han.
After running for almost one hour and were certain that the huge birds didn’t return, they finally stopped for a break.
Their eyes met.
They both felt lucky after the narrow escape.
“The medicine is in my ring.” Su Han lifted her hand and said.
Hao Ren picked up her finger and dug out a dark-red glass medicine bottle from her ring.
With a frown, Su Han opened the bottle and put some red medicine solution on her shoulder. From her furrowed eyebrows, Hao Ren knew that she was hurting from the stinging in the wound which was caused by the solution.
She handed the bottle to Hao Ren who then put it back into her ring. Hao Ren wanted to ask her if she needed to rest for a few minutes, but Su Han had begun walking with clenched teeth.
“We must cross that mountain before dark. Otherwise, we won’t find a hiding place, and we will die!” Su Han looked back at Hao Ren after walking a few steps and said.
Hao Ren turned to look at the almost boundless plain and the flying or running fierce beasts. He had to admit that Su Han was right.
Su Han lifted her left hand at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren walked over and took her left hand into his right hand.
“Let’s go!” Hao Ren locked his fingers with hers and strode forward steadily.
In this open space, flying on his sword energy was the most dangerous act. The relative safer way was to walk in concealment in the high wild grass to reach the mountain on the other side.
Walking by Hao Ren’s side with her fingers in his tight grip, Su Han’s heart raced, and she slowly tightened her grip on Hao Ren’s fingers.
She couldn’t name the feeling that she was having right now.
However, at that most dangerous moment, she was thinking of Hao Ren.
That huge noise caused by Hao Ren’s strike was still ringing in her ears.
The scene where Hao Ren shot up and pierced that huge bird was ironed into her mind.
With her hand in Hao Ren’s grip, she felt dazed, and her mind was blanking out.
She finally understood how it felt.
