"Old bastard, are you really going to fight us to the death?" Lang Qing shouted coldly as he looked at Zhang Qi. To be honest, Lang Qing didn't want to continue fighting with Zhang Qi.
There were two reasons for this. Firstly, even though Zhang Qi was heavily injured, it was still not easy to kill him. After all, Zhang Qi was a Dao Exalt. The Celestial Wolf Guard would definitely suffer heavy losses if they wanted to kill him. Secondly, the Bloodwolf King's orders were to take Bai Ruyue back. Now that Bai Ruyue and Xiao Chen had fled, Lang Qing's main mission was to take Bai Ruyue back. So, it was clearly meaningless to fight Zhang Qi to the death.
He had already decided to let Zhang Qi go, but Zhang Qi didn't respond at all when he heard him. He continued to fight fiercely with the Celestial Wolf Guards. Zhang Qi thought to himself as he fought.
Soon, soon. As long as I can hold on a little longer, the young master's chances of escaping will be greater. Even though the young master's cultivation isn't high, he's cautious and intelligent. He'll definitely be able to turn the situation around.
Originally, Zhang Qi would have been able to break out of the encirclement a long time ago. The reason he had persisted until now was because of Xiao Chen.
Zhang Qi's attacks became more and more ruthless as he thought like that. Every time he killed a Celestial Wolf Guard, the pressure on the other cultivators of the Heavenly Chen Continent would naturally lessen.
Lang Qing's rage erupted like a volcano when he saw that Zhang Qi didn't listen to him at all. He constantly cursed Zhang Qi for not knowing when to stop.
He wanted to retreat and pursue Bai Ruyue, but he knew very well that he couldn't leave. Because once he left, the remaining Celestial Wolf Guards wouldn't be able to stop Zhang Qi at all. After all, Lang Qing was the center of the battle formation. It was exactly because of him, a perfection-stage Dao King, that the Celestial Wolf Guards were able to fight against Zhang Qi for so long. Otherwise, they would have been defeated by Zhang Qi a long time ago.
The battle continued. Zhang Qi grew braver and braver as he fought, but his face grew paler and paler. It wasn't just Zhang Qi. Gu Xiu and the others in the other three battles didn't choose to retreat just like Zhang Qi. They knew very well that the longer they stayed here, the less pressure Xiao Chen would face.
"Young master, you must escape." Gu Xiu murmured softly after killing a Sky Wolf Guard with a single punch.
Gu Xiu's relationship with Xiao Chen was somewhat different from the others. For example, although Zhang Qi and the others all obeyed Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen treated them like seniors. Gu Xiu, on the other hand, was completely Xiao Chen's personal bodyguard, or rather, a little follower.
Of course, this was also Gu Xiu's own will. Gu Xiu himself felt very proud to be able to follow Xiao Chen. It was precisely because of this relationship that the relationship between Gu Xiu and Xiao Chen could be said to be much deeper than Zhang Qi and the others. Xiao Chen had long regarded Gu Xiu as his confidant and trusted Gu Xiu 100%.
Zhang Qi and the other three fought fiercely for an entire night. It was not until the next morning when Zhang Qi and the others were completely exhausted that they retreated.
There was a small interlude during the retreat. In fact, Zhang Qi and Gu Xiu were already prepared to die, but in the end, the two of them were pulled away by another Dao King powerhouse.
Surprisingly, this Dao King was the Dao King imprisoned in the Bloodwolf Clan. His feelings for Xiao Chen naturally could not be compared to Zhang Qi and the others, so it was already extremely difficult for him to go so far for Xiao Chen. It was probably impossible for him to die for Xiao Chen.
So, after persisting for an entire night, the Dao King decisively chose to retreat. At the same time, he berated Zhang Qi and the others.
"Leave quickly. Do you really want to die here? If you die, who will protect young master Xiao Chen in the future? Don't forget that we still haven't left the territory of the Celestial Wolf Empire. "
Along with this Dao King Realm expert's shout, Zhang Qi and the others finally chose to retreat.
Just like Xiao Chen and the others, Zhang Qi and the others broke out of the encirclement in different directions. As a result, even if Lang Qing wanted to pursue them, he was unable to do so immediately. After all, the Celestial Wolf Guard had suffered heavy losses throughout the night of battle. Out of the 200 Celestial Wolf Guards that remained, an entire 38 had fallen. Such losses caused Lang Qing's heart to bleed. After all, the price to nurture a qualified Celestial Wolf Guard was extremely huge. It was exactly because of this that even the Celestial Wolf Empire had only nurtured a thousand Celestial Wolf Guards.
Lang Qing's face was gloomy to the extreme. He glanced at the exhausted Celestial Wolf Guards that had experienced an intense night of battle, and he almost gnashed his teeth to pieces.
Right at this moment, the Bloodwolf King appeared before Lang Qing as well. He frowned slightly as he gazed at the corpses that covered the ground. "Where's the Madam?"
Anyone could discern that an intense battle had occurred here. However, the Bloodwolf King didn't see Bai Ruyue's figure. When faced with the Bloodwolf King's question, Lang Qing gave a simple explanation of what had happened.
Lang Qing wasn't afraid of the Bloodwolf King because the Bloodwolf King didn't have the qualifications to punish him, let alone order him around. If it wasn't for the Emperor's orders, Lang Qing wouldn't have interfered at all.
The Bloodwolf King was furious when he heard that Bai Ruyue had fled, but he couldn't flare up at Lang Qing. Both their expressions were unsightly, and in the end, it was Lang Qing who spoke first.
"There's no need to worry, Your Highness. There were already Celestial Wolf Guards pursuing them before this. We'll definitely be able to bring the Madam back by following the marks."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Commander Lang Qing. You must not allow them to leave Mount Mang. Once they leave Mount Mang and enter Tigerleopard Ridge, it'll be troublesome. That isn't our territory," replied the Bloodwolf King when he heard Lang Qing.
After that, Lang Qing led the others in pursuit, whereas the Bloodwolf King's expression was gloomy. After a short while, a Dao King Realm expert behind the Bloodwolf King couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, should we pursue them as well?"
"There's no need. We have more important matters to attend to. There can't be any accidents this time. I'll absolutely not allow these bastards to escape. The two of you will make a trip to Tigerleopard Ridge with me," said the Bloodwolf King coldly.
Tigerleopard Ridge was a chain of mountains on both sides of Hulao Pass. There were countless demonic beasts within it, and its area was practically no smaller than the Celestial Wolf Empire. However, Tigerleopard Ridge was the world of demonic beasts. Moreover, there were two Beast Emperors within Tigerleopard Ridge, and they were the true masters of Tigerleopard Ridge. It was precisely because of the existence of these two Beast Emperors that the Moonless Empire and Celestial Wolf Empire feared Tigerleopard Ridge so much.
The Bloodwolf King didn't personally pursue Xiao Chen's group and instead headed to Tigerleopard Ridge. There was only a single reason for his decision, and it was to cut off the last path of survival for Xiao Chen's group.
