The three of them didn't even pay him any heed as they focused on running away. Several water blades scratched their skin, but otherwise, they were mostly fine. The long stairs seemed to never end.

"Master, is there nothing you could do?" Ye Jiao asked as she shifted her movements to avoid an attack. The water blade passed by her legs.

"I'm at a disadvantage here with my element."

"But…"

"And I'm not good at Eon Energy control."

Qin Zheng flicked a glance to Zhan Jing. "You're still as useless as ever."

"… I don't want to hear that from you."

Swish! Swish!

As they were running away during chaos, it didn't seem like the others realized what had happened as they were still busy on the lake to fight with one another. The only one who chased after them was only this Eon Energy Master rank 4.

Slash!

A water blade grazed Ye Jiao's arm as she tried to escape to the side. Her eyes widened with happiness upon seeing the light from the outside. It was good that the Eon Energy Master rank 4 behind them was not too fast or it would not end too well.

"Watch out!"

Slash! Splash!

A large amount of water rushed over to them from the back. The children were startled and quickly scattered to every direction in order to evade. Water splashed everywhere, wetting the stairs and the ground on top of the stairs.

The man had reached their side. His breathing was rough as he looked at them, to be exact to Qi Huan, with fervent eyes.

"The inheritance! Give it to me!"

Qi Huan's eyes were cold as he readied his weapon. The gap between rank 3 and 4 was not something that can be covered with skill alone, but he had no other choice. There would be no way he could give up the inheritance for this man.

Water blades appeared around the man, but it stopped when several blades made its way to his place.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

"Unfortunately, I can't let you finish your preparation," Qin Zheng threw several more blades as he ran to the barrier.

"Come on, Senior Brother Qi!" Ye Jiao pulled Qi Huan's wrist as she dashed to the barrier as fast as possible. Qi Huan quickly followed after her as they headed out of the barrier.

Ye Jiao could feel the barrier preventing her from escaping with a light force. Just by running, she managed to get out of the place and nearly stumbled on the uneven ground before her.

"Careful!"

Qi Huan grabbed Ye Jiao's wrist and held her from the back. He couldn't see things that happened over on the barrier, but they knew that the man would surely chase after them. With how he wished the inheritance that Qi Huan got, there was no doubt that he wouldn't let them off.

Zhan Jing had also gotten out of the barrier. He looked at the children. "Now, continue running down."

"Yes, Master!"

"Yes!"

The three of them scampered as they ran down as fast as possible. Their Eon Energy was depleting at an insane rate, but neither one of them cared. Right now, they just hoped that they could get out of the place as fast as possible.

Just when they were a few dozen meters away, Ye Jiao could hear a loud splashing sound from the back.

SPLASH!

Turning her head to the back, she could see a wall made of earth has blocked the barrier. A large amount of water tried to push it back, resulting in the clash between two elements right at the entrance of the barrier.

Zhan Jing didn't stay in the place as he controlled the rock below him to transfer him to the children's location. With his Eon Energy extended to the ground below them, he started to move them faster.

"Master, he's chasing after us!" Qi Huan reported.

"I know."

Extending his hand, Zhan Jing collected a large amount of Eon Energy and pushed the ground up. It caused the rock to move as if there was an earthquake. That Eon Energy Master rank 4 has just managed to break the wall from before when he noticed that they were already getting away.

He gritted his teeth and began his chase. "You won't be able to get away from me."

Using the water, he chased after them. Ye Jiao could only watch as these two began their chase. Her eyes were looking at the way they fought with deep longing. The first time she saw those at rank 4 fight was over two years ago, but she had been wanting to be able to surpass them since a long time ago. The fight was deeply embedded in her mind as she longed for the power that would allow her to protect those who were dear for her.

Seeing it again now, she realized that it would still be a long way to go. The power they gave off was not something she could directly achieve.

There was still a long road to go.

"Hang on," Zhan Jing instructed suddenly. He utilized a large amount of Eon Energy directly into the earth as he expanded his control to the fullest. Ever since a few years ago, he had never used this much Eon Energy anymore because it was nearing his limit.

Qin Zheng realized what Zhan Jing was about to do. "Don't do it. You're no longer Eon Energy Master rank 5."

Rank 5?

Ye Jiao's eyes widened in surprise. She looked at her master, who was smiling bitterly. From their conversation, could it be that her master went down a rank?

Just… how was that possible?

"I'm fine. Just hang on."

At that time, the earth shook badly. The three of them quickly sat down on the ground to lower their center of gravity. As it was also still controlled by Zhan Jing to go down at high speed, they were fine as long as they didn't move around so much.

A massive wall of earth appeared behind them. It was so high that Ye Jiao might mistake it for the capital city's wall of defense. At the same time, there was a massive drop on the ground that their journey no longer became so peaceful.

"Woah!" Ye Jiao quickly held onto Qi Huan's arm as the earth shook once more.

Qi Huan's eyes flashed with a glint. "Master, we're going to reach the bottom soon."

"That's good."

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Bam!

The earth wall behind them blasted with a loud sound. The Eon Energy Master rank 4 that chased after them looked ragged, but his eyes were still blazing with fervent. He was determined to get the inheritance that Qi Huan took.

"You!"

As soon as he summoned his water to go down again, the earth below him sank suddenly. The moment he fell, the large wall behind him also crumbled. It directly fell into his direction!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa!

All that left was only a painful scream of a man in his end.
