"Amazing!"
Ling Xiao was secretly surprised.
It seemed that assassinating Tomohiko Kuma would not be an easy task.
However, he had patience. If the first time was not enough, he would try again. If the second time was not enough, he would try again. He had to bring Tomohiko Kuma's head back.
"Escort the Little Duke, let's go!"
Although the guards could sense the enemy's presence, they could not see Ling Xiao. Hence, the only thing they could do now was to use their bodies to protect Tomohiko Kuma and continue to run.
Ling Xiao did not dare to act rashly. His first attempt had failed. If he were to act again, he would have to choose a better opportunity.
Hence, he chased after them. After all, Tomohiko Kuma's head was related to the lives of tens of thousands of people. He did not want to give it up so easily.
His opponent was riding on a Black Crow. Ling Xiao had no choice but to advance on foot.
This was because both the Shadow Armor and Shadow Steps could not make external objects invisible at the same time.
On both sides were desert plants that kept retreating. Below his feet was a vast expanse of yellow sand.
In Ling Xiao's eyes, there was only Tomohiko Kuma, who was riding on a Black Crow with a stiff expression.
Tomohiko Kuma was like a bird that was startled by the twang of a bow.
He had been prepared to go all out with great ambition. However, he had fallen into the hands of Ling Xiao. Furthermore, this Ling Xiao was even younger than him.
This blow was hard for Tomohiko Kuma to recover from.
He could only run now.
Run for his life!
Because if he stopped, he might die a horrible death.
He did not want to die. He was only seventeen years old and had a bright future ahead of him. If he died now, everything would be gone.
"Luckily, my inner strength is stronger than the average warrior's. Otherwise, I would not be able to catch up."
Ling Xiao clenched his teeth, abandoned all thoughts, and continued to chase. He did not know what Tomohiko Kuma was thinking. He only knew that if he did not bring Tomohiko Kuma's head back, the two hundred thousand soldiers and civilians would starve to death.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiao felt that the desert had gradually turned into a green grassland.
He should have already entered the Black Crow Empire.
At the border between the Black Crow Empire and Divine Phoenix Empire, there was a large desert area. Although there were plants, there were very few of them.
One had to enter the border between the two empires to be able to see grassland or forests.
"No wonder I used up so much inner strength. I did not expect that I would chase them all the way to the Black Crow Empire."
Ling Xiao took a moment to rest before stuffing a handful of Spirit Qi Pills into his mouth, chewing them as if they were stir-fried beans.
Then, he continued to chase.
Finally, a blood-curdling scream rang out.
It was the Black Crow Beast's scream.
The Black Crow Beast under Tomohiko Kuma actually fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth, unable to continue forward.
The rest of the Black Crow Beasts were also panting heavily. They were lying on the ground, obviously unable to move.
Ling Xiao actually exhausted the Black Crow Beast to death. This kind of physical strength and inner strength reminded him of the crazy training he had done to his body.
Now, the advantage of his strong body was completely revealed. Even the Black Crow Beast's endurance was not as good as his.
"You guys take the Little Duke and leave first!"
The Personal Guards saw that this was not going to work. Since the Black Crow Beasts could not move forward, they could only stay and stall for time.
They did not know how strong the people chasing them were, so they left nearly twenty people behind.
The remaining Personal Guards protected Tomohiko Kuma and continued to escape.
Ling Xiao tried to use Shadow Step to pass them, but he failed.
Among these people, three of them had reached the Eight Desolate Heaven Realm and could sense his movements. Although they could not see him, they could still stop him.
"It seems that I have to take action!"
Ling Xiao took a deep breath. He took out the Immortal Fury Lotus from his storage ring and threw it out.
Every time the Immortal Fury Lotus was used, it would take a long time to accumulate energy before it could be used again. This time would take more than a day.
The Immortal Fury Lotus in Ling Xiao's hand had obviously finished accumulating energy.
As soon as the Immortal Fury Lotus was used, more than ten of the Personal Guards fell to the ground. Only eight of them were left standing.
After all, the power of the Immortal Fury Lotus was limited. It was not lethal for martial artists above the Six Desolate Heaven Realm.
"Get out of the way and I will not kill you!"
Ling Xiao deactivated Shadow Step and Shadow Armor.
Since he could not pass them, it would consume too much energy and inner strength to continue using Shadow Step and Shadow Armor.
As he spoke, he took out the Golden Crow Sword. He had to go all out in the face of those who blocked his way. This was different from the battle on the fighting stage.
At that time, it was a one-on-one battle. Now, it was a one-on-eight battle and his opponents were stronger than him.
"It's him?"
The Personal Guards recognized Ling Xiao at a glance. This was the nightmare in their hearts, the terrifying general who had killed hundreds of thousands of Black Crow Army.
"Leader, what should we do?"
Obviously, the Personal Guards were somewhat afraid of Ling Xiao.
"What else can we do? This guy is very strange. If he catches up with the Little Duke, I'm afraid he can really kill the Little Duke. So, we have to go."
The leader mustered up his courage and said.
After all, his cultivation was higher and he had reached the advanced stage of the Eight Desolate Heaven Realm. Therefore, he dared to speak in front of Ling Xiao.
"My target is not you, so you'd better get out of the way. Otherwise, you will never be able to return alive."
Ling Xiao was not afraid of these Personal Guards, but he did not want to be entangled here for too long. If he could get them to get out of the way, it would save him a lot of time.
"Hahaha, boasting shamelessly!"
One of the Personal Guards who was at the advanced stage of the Eight Desolate Heaven Realm could not hold it in any longer. He stood out and laughed. "Kid, we're not as good as you when it comes to scheming. However, when it comes to fighting, you're no match for us!"
"He Meng, don't be rash. You might not be able to defeat him alone. Since you want to fight him, why don't we fight him together? You've seen the power of the hidden weapon just now. Be careful."
"Boss, don't you think too highly of this kid? Just him? He wants to fight with us? "
He Meng was obviously an impulsive guy. Without waiting for the leader's order, he had already swung the two iron hammers in his hands at Ling Xiao.
The two iron hammers weighed more than 500 kilograms each. Moreover, they were genuine Celestial Grade Artifacts. Even without using his inner strength, he could easily kill a ferocious beast, let alone a human.
If he was hit, not even his bones would be left.
"Ling Xiao, you bastard! Pay with your life for the millions of Black Crow Army soldiers! Die!"
Even though he was swinging the two iron hammers that weighed more than 500 kilograms, He Meng was still very agile.
He leaped up high and stared at Ling Xiao with his eyes wide open. He then swung the hammers at him.
When the hammers landed, they brought with them a huge pressure. A series of sonic booms could be heard in the air. It was like a thunderclap.
Ling Xiao frowned.
Although He Meng was impulsive, his strength was not to be underestimated. Although his cultivation was not as good as Wan Qiufeng and Jia Yun, the murderous aura that he had honed on the battlefield suppressed him so much that he could not move or dodge it.
He could only take it head-on!
