The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 868: Chapter 868: Those Who Intrude into the Valley of Death, Die!

”Which direction should we go?”

Carson Flores thought for a moment, ”Since we’re already in Eastern Emperor Province, let’s just go find your sister together.”

Samantha Tate’s eyes instantly lit up, and she happily agreed, ”Okay!”

Carson Flores smiled, ”Rajevols is at the far eastern edge of the Eastern Emperor Province, we might as well head east. After all, we’re both completely in the dark here, not knowing our exact location in the Valley of Death; we’ll just have to try our luck.”

Samantha Tate grimaced, ”Just don’t walk the wrong way and end up in the center of the Valley of Death...”

”This is the east.”

Carson Flores looked up at the sun, pointed ahead, then pointed behind, ”The direction the Giant Eagle, carrying the rhino, went. When animals finish hunting, they carry their prey back to their nests. That Giant Eagle is so formidable; I think its nest must be near the center. So, if we walk east, in the opposite direction, we might be moving away from the center.”

Samantha Tate’s eyes sparkled, ”That makes sense, brother, you’re so observant!”

Carson Flores smiled, ”It’s just a guess out of necessity, who knows if it’s right or not.”

”We’ll find out by walking; if not, we can turn back.”

The two headed east, traveling several miles, only to find a majestic peak blocking their way.

They flew covertly along the base of the mountain and were halfway when Carson Flores suddenly had a premonition and looked up sharply.

Above the peak, on a protruding boulder at the cliff’s edge, a young woman in white stood watching them coldly.

This woman appeared quite young, maybe twenty-seven or twenty-eight, beautiful yet aloof, with unnaturally eerie red eyes.

Carson Flores was taken aback, What now?

This was the Absolute Death Valley!

Why were there continuously Human Cultivators appearing so frequently?

The middle-aged man before, and now this woman in white...

As Carson Flores and Samantha Tate were filled with doubts, the woman in white suddenly moved. She leapt down, falling like a meteor directly towards them.

Carson Flores had no time to think, swiftly scooping Samantha Tate up by the waist and taking a step forward.

Ground Shrinking Technique.

Their figures instantly appeared hundreds of meters away, quickly increasing their distance.

The woman in white showed a surprised look in her eyes, her figure twisting like a specter as she rapidly pursued Carson Flores while her voice, cold as frost, reached him from ahead.

”Ground Shrinking Technique! What is your relationship with Finlay Murphy?”

Finlay Murphy?

The Murphy Family?

The family mentioned by Adelaide Bautista, which was wiped out for possessing the Great Secret Technique, Ground Shrinking Technique, was the ancient Murphy Family?

Was Finlay Murphy that middle-aged man from earlier?

Many thoughts flashed through Carson Flores’s mind, but he had no intention of answering; he just ran as fast as he could.

Carson Flores’s feet surged with patterns as his body shot forward like a shuttle, but he could not shake off the woman in white. Furthermore, she was closing the distance at an extremely high speed.

In the blink of an eye, she was behind Carson Flores. She raised her hand, as if it were carved from jade, her eyes fiercely red, ”Those who trespass in the Valley of Death, die!”

Just as her palm was about to strike, Carson Flores quickly drew out the Water-Fire Mirror.

He cast the spell, and the Fire Mirror emitted a bright light with massive amounts of Fire Essence pouring out like it cost him nothing.

After being released, the Fire Essence appeared like clouds of fiery mist, weightlessly floating in the air, enveloping the woman in white, their light and airy manner as if they could be blown away with a breath of wind.

The woman in white struck out, and space itself seemed to tear. A mountainous, razor-sharp palm imprint materialized out of thin air, pressing down on Carson Flores with astonishing force.

The imprint struck the massive amount of Fire Essence Carson had released and, shockingly, shattered instantly!

It was like a sports car, speeding at three hundred miles per hour, suddenly crashing into a concrete pillar, disintegrating on impact.

The woman in white, like that car, spat out a mouthful of blood, fear written all over her face.

”Five Elements Essentia!”

The mist-like Fire Essence descended on the woman in white. Despite her frantic attempts to retreat, she was still touched by some of it.

Although it was just a light touch, it felt as though she was crushed under a massive mountain; the arms she had raised in defense snapped off instantly.

While continuously spitting blood, the woman in white backed away, managing to just escape the range of the Fire Essence.

Looking at her severed arms, then looking forward—where Carson Flores and Samantha Tate were no longer visible, having taken the opportunity to escape—she let out a furious scream, then leapt up and gave up the chase, instead heading towards the peak they had seen earlier.

Carson Flores ran frantically for miles, stopping only when he was sure no one was pursuing them. He then took a breath of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

”It’s a good thing we collected plenty of Water and Fire Essence; otherwise, we would have been done for just now.”

Still shaken, Samantha Tate said, ”The power of that Fire Essence is too great. Such a powerful attack was instantly shattered when it met the Fire Essence. That woman was so formidable, yet you almost killed her in that strike!”
