Creation of the Universe

The next morning.

Shen Jingjuan held a huge stone in both hands and tiptoed towards the sleeping Shen Zhan.

The reason why she mustered up the courage to take action was that she had observed for a long time beforehand and found that Shen Zhan had not woken up yet. It was probably because he was seriously injured yesterday, which resulted in a long recovery time.

If you don't take action now, you will really have no chance.

Shen Jingjuan is certainly afraid of Shen Zhan now. She witnessed with her own eyes that the latter killed Kong Shang, who was at the martial artist level. The shock this brought to her was simply beyond words.

But she wanted to live.

At this moment, if she smashed the stone in her hand hard on Shen Zhan's head, she would be free again.

"Shen Zhan, go to hell!"

Shen Jingjuan shouted silently in her heart, and at the same time, she raised the stone in her hand above her head and smashed it down without hesitation.

This stone was as big as a millstone, and the consequences of hitting the head can be imagined, but Shen Jingjuan did not see Shen Zhan's death with a bloody head, because the stone was hovering in the air when it was about to hit Shen Zhan.

It was as if there was an invisible force holding up the stone from below, preventing it from falling further.

Shen Jingjuan was confused and frightened and took two steps back, not knowing what to do next.

At this moment, Shen Zhan's voice suddenly rang out, "If you want to kill me, you have to be decisive and think of a more effective way. You actually chose to hit me on the head with a rock. Isn't that too childish?"

Seeing that her intention was exposed, Shen Jingjuan was immediately frightened. She subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but she stumbled and fell to the ground.

The extreme tension and fear made her body stiff and her movements clumsy. Even though she was no longer bound by the soul-binding talisman, she still looked extremely weak, like an ordinary person with no cultivation.

It was because her state of mind had already been shattered. The death of her brother Shen Jingming, her own successive misfortunes, and the tragic death of Kong Shang, whom she regarded as her savior, at the hands of Shen Zhan's sword, all of these completely overturned her original cognition.

A loser who had been bullied by them since childhood seemed to have transformed overnight and became extremely powerful, unattainable.

"Oh!"

The big rock moved horizontally to the distance and fell heavily. Shen Zhan also stood up and walked towards Shen Jingjuan.

"If you had chosen to run away instead of trying to kill me, you might have had at least a 10% chance of escaping successfully."

Shen Zhan's words left Shen Jingjuan speechless.

Just now, her mind was indeed full of thoughts about killing Shen Zhan. Even though she was afraid, she still had such a strong desire for revenge.

At this time, Shen Jingjuan simply asked Shen Zhan, "You neither kill me nor let me go, what exactly do you want to do?"

Shen Zhan replied, "I've told you before, as long as I haven't completely escaped those pursuers sent by your mother, I still need you to be a shield and use you as a bargaining chip when necessary."

"mean."

"mean?"

Shen Zhan smiled and said, "I'm not angry at all for making someone like you feel despicable. On the contrary, I feel very refreshed."

Shen Jingjuan asked suspiciously, "You're clearly only at the first level of Dao, and you started practicing from the Martial Apprentice Xumiao level. There's no way you could have reached such a high level of cultivation in such a short period of time. What on earth happened to you?"

"The reason is simple. I am naturally gifted, and the real losers are you."

This self-boasting statement would sound like boasting if it were said by someone else, but when Shen Zhan said it, he was just telling the truth. With the holy blood of Tianchen in his body, how could he not be considered a gifted person?

Shen Jingjuan couldn't fight back, and couldn't escape either. In the end, he could only stay where he was, feeling depressed, secretly hoping that someone would come to rescue him.

After Shen Luche slightly adjusted his breathing, he felt that the injuries he suffered yesterday had improved significantly, so he prepared to leave.

After a night, no one came to chase him. Perhaps the enemy lost their target during the pursuit, but Shen Zhan did not dare to be careless. He still had to choose the safest route as much as possible.

Shen Jingjuan asked: "Where are you taking me next?"

"I don't know how many monsters your mother has sent to hunt me down. The wisest option now is to go south by water and try my luck."

The two men passed through the forest and found a river not far ahead. However, there was no pier to be found for hundreds of miles, so they had to rely on luck if they wanted to take a boat south.

Shen Zhan decided to continue along the river. If he saw a boat on the way, he could find a way to get on board. Those who were chasing him could only track their footprints on the shore, and they would get nothing once they got on the boat.

"Of the eight guards of the Lingzhou Wang family, six remain. Do you think they will obey your mother's orders?"

Shen Zhan suddenly asked.

A look of pride flashed across Shen Jingjuan's face as she proudly replied, "I've only met a few of the Wang family's eight guards. Only Kong Shang and Xie Qi have always been by my mother's side. But don't be too happy too soon. My mother has plenty of people under her command to deal with you. It won't be long before you regret offending the Wang family!"

"In other words, only two of the eight guards listen to your mother, that's all."

"you......"

Shen Jingjuan swore, "You can act arrogant now, but the Wang family will always seek revenge. If you don't die, the Wang family will continue to send assassins to kill you. One day, you will be filled with fear, and someone will slit your neck and greet your death!"

"Even if there comes such a day, you will die before me."

Shen Zhan's tone suddenly became terribly cold. Shen Jingjuan didn't dare to anger Shen Zhan too much, so she tactfully shut up.

After the two men walked along the river for more than ten miles, Shen Zhan noticed that there were very messy footprints on the soft ground under their feet. It was estimated that at least more than twenty people had walked here, and it happened not long ago.

The atmosphere became inexplicably tense. In the woods on the other side of the river, there was almost no bird singing, which was a very abnormal situation.

Shen Zhan grabbed Shen Jingjuan and asked her to stay close to him, so that if Yifan was in danger, he could use Shen Jingjuan as a cover. This was the only purpose of keeping this woman by his side.

Soon, more than ten people flashed out from the front and back of the two men and blocked them on the spot. These people were obviously the death squads sent by the queen. Those who had followed Shen Jingming before were also dressed like this.

"You have quite a few running dogs at home."

Shen Zhan said lightly.

When Shen Jingjuan saw so many people coming to rescue her, she was not very excited as usual. Because of what had happened before, she knew that this group of people could never do anything to Shen Zhan.
