CHAPTER 790: CHAPTER 795: HEAVENLY MECHANISM ORDER

"Halt!" Du Kang bellowed, swiftly following behind Chen Quan, in hot pursuit to prevent the latter from escaping.

Seeing Du Kang and Chen Quan’s figures growing distant, Su Mei urgently said, "Notify everyone immediately, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion must be on full alert, we absolutely cannot allow that person to escape."

"Yes, Pavilion Master." Her subordinate responded and then hurriedly ran out.

At this moment, inside the Yangxin Pavilion, Chen Quan was taking big strides, frantically dashing about. Ever since he was imprisoned in Yangxin Pavilion by Su He, he had been confined under that mountain peak, never having walked inside Yangxin Pavilion, let alone being familiar with its layout. Therefore, although he had now freed himself from the shackles of his chains, he didn’t know where to exit and could only blindly crash around in search of an escape.

"Chen Quan, you..." Du Kang’s mouth was agape, about to rebuke, when he suddenly saw Chen Quan, who was sprinting ahead, whirl around and deliver a pair of fleshy palms with lightning speed directly towards Du Kang’s face.

Without time to think, Du Kang raised his palms to meet the attack.

When the four palms met, a burst of tremendous power instantly erupted. Hit by the two surges of force, Du Kang trembled and his footsteps involuntarily retreated two paces. Looking at Chen Quan, after delivering his blow, he didn’t pause for a moment and continued to turn and dash forward, his speed incredibly fast, opening a distance of over ten meters in the blink of an eye.

Du Kang frowned slightly, pressing forward with each step, not daring to be careless. He had seen Chen Quan’s strength; the man’s martial skills were likely not inferior to his own. If it truly came to a fight, the outcome would be difficult to predict. No! Du Kang thought to himself, I must find a way to keep Chen Quan within Yangxin Pavilion and prevent his escape.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Chen Quan. One was Huang Zheng, and the other was also an elder from Yangxin Pavilion.

"Stop him!"

Seeing Huang Zheng and the other approaching, Du Kang immediately pointed at the fleeing Chen Quan, shouting loudly. However, just as the words left his mouth, Du Kang suddenly thought of something and quickly amended, "Move aside, everyone move!"

Unfortunately, Du Kang’s words were still a step too late. Huang Zheng and the other elder had already rushed forward, preparing to jointly stop Chen Quan.

Seeing Huang Zheng and the others closing in, Chen Quan let out a cold laugh, a cruel coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Die!"

With a cold shout, the sprinting Chen Quan suddenly exerted force, slipping through like a swift gust of wind, instantly closing in on Huang Zheng and the other elder. Before they could react, Chen Quan’s fleshy palm had already made contact with the elder’s chest.

Puh!

In an instant, a spurt of fresh blood sprayed out, and the elder’s body flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground. Although clothed, one could still discern that his chest had caved in, and his breathing became increasingly difficult and rapid, his face showing a pallor of pain and suffering.

Seeing this scene, Huang Zheng, who was about to intercept, was shocked into stillness, his actions slowing as he lost his focus.

"Be careful!"

At that moment, Du Kang, who was chasing from behind, quickly arrived at the scene. Seeing Du Kang reach out to help, Chen Quan without a word abandoned Huang Zheng and made his swift departure.

"Mr. Luo." After a brief moment of stupor, Huang Zheng finally snapped out of his shock and hurried over to the injured elder, examining his wounds. However, the elder’s condition made Huang Zheng’s expression extremely grim.

"How is he?" Du Kang asked in a solemn voice.

Huang Zheng shook his head and sighed, "His injuries are too severe, there’s no saving him."

Hearing this, Du Kang’s eyes suddenly narrowed, radiating a cold light with a hint of resentment.

It’s all my fault!

Du Kang silently blamed himself, knowing full well Chen Quan’s strength and yet still allowing Huang Zheng and the others to intervene.

"Huang Zheng, don’t worry about him for now, notify everyone immediately to evacuate. Also, have Elder Qin come over to help right away," Du Kang instructed. Elder Qin was another high-ranked expert on the Heavenly List in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, specifically responsible for ensuring Su Mei’s safety when she was away from the Pavilion. On regular days within the Pavilion, he was in seclusion at his residence.

"I understand."

After Huang Zheng left, Du Kang did not linger and continued to pursue in the direction where Chen Quan had fled.

Along the way, Du Kang saw several bodies, all killed by Chen Quan with a single deadly strike, showing no mercy. Moreover, Chen Quan seemed to have found the direction of the exit of Yangxin Pavilion, as inferred from the bodies along the way; he was about to escape from Yangxin Pavilion soon.

Emerging from the Yangxin Pavilion, Du Kang looked around and heard screams coming from not far away.

Damn it!

Du Kang’s face sank immediately, and he chased toward the direction of the sounds. When he arrived, he saw more than a dozen Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Disciples slaughtered on the ground, their blood flowing from all orifices.

Such ruthless methods... Seeing this scene, Du Kang’s aging face grew even darker.

"Elder Du, Elder Du..." At this time, a few Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Disciples ran towards him in a sorry state, loudly calling Du Kang’s name.

"What happened?"

"Eld... Elder Du, that man... that man has killed many of our brothers and has already pushed to the exit, no one can stop him, please think of something quickly."

Hearing this, a sense of powerlessness surged up in Du Kang’s heart. If he couldn’t stop Chen Quan in the Yangxin Pavilion, it would be even less possible now.

Forget it... Du Kang sighed inwardly, it seems impossible to stop him.

"Go, have everyone retreat, stop blocking him, let him go," Du Kang said helplessly. By this stage, even if support from the Yangxin Pavilion arrived, it would be too late.

Ten minutes later.

In the deliberation hall of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, everyone gathered together, all with their heads down, faces grim, silent.

After a while, Su Mei, seated in the main place, finally spoke: "Elder Du, how many people did we lose this time, have the numbers been tallied up?"

"Twenty-one dead, not a single one injured."

Hearing this, other people in the room gasped in shock.

Such ruthless methods!

"Pavilion Master." Du Kang stood up, taking the initiative to admit his fault: "I underestimated Chen Quan this time, leading to such heavy losses for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, I ask the Pavilion Master to penalize me."

"Elder Du, please don’t talk like that, you are not to blame for this matter. If anyone is to blame, it’s Chen Quan for being too cunning." After a pause, Su Mei shifted her tone: "Since it has already happened, let’s not focus on whose responsibility it is, but rather think about how to compensate."

Huang Zheng said coldly, "This man surnamed Chen dares to kill our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Disciples, we absolutely cannot let him off easily. Pavilion Master, in my opinion, it’s time to use the Heavenly Mechanism Order."

The Heavenly Mechanism Order?

Upon hearing these three words, shock spread across the faces of everyone present.

Everyone was a veteran of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and knew well what the Heavenly Mechanism Order implied. In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, the Heavenly Mechanism Order had only been used three times.

"Pavilion Master, please consider carefully, the Heavenly Mechanism Order is no trifling matter."
