'Since Long Li placed this ancient scroll in front of him, then it's clear that this thing is incredibly important to him. I wonder if it's an Enchanted Treasure or some other secrets are recorded in it. ' A thought appeared in Su Ming's heart, but he soon suppressed the thought of waking up the bald crane and having it bring the ancient scroll to him.
This was too unwise, and it was incredibly risky. Besides, the sealed region was filled with strange and ever-changing things. Time was of the essence, and the True Guard's powerful presence was swiftly closing in on them from the distance. The green light was also coming to envelop them.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He turned around resolutely, and with one move, he appeared next to the unconscious bald crane. Once he grabbed it, he placed it into his storage bag and charged forward through the stone wall.
'Just what happened? Why would a True Guard descend here? Could it be that I've been unconscious for more than several years, and the True Guard patrols beyond Crimson Flame Planet have started again?
'If that's not the case, then Tian Lin must have executed his plan! ' Su Ming moved forward with his physical power in the stone wall, but before he could go too far, a violent bang immediately came from the spot where the World Stone was located behind him.
In the midst of that bang, Su Ming heard Long Li's low growl.
"Sinner, ant." At the same time, as Long Li's low growl echoed in the air, a voice that would cause endless chills to rise in people's hearts and even make their noses tingle with the stench of blood.
Su Ming's heart trembled. His pupils shrank, and he charged forward at an even faster speed. He could sense that Long Li was fleeing from one of the tunnels in the beehive behind him, and there was a terrifying presence chasing after him at a moderate pace.
Su Ming sucked in a deep breath. As he circulated his cultivation base, he became even more cautious. However, before an hour had passed, another violent, muffled bang came from the sealed region once again.
The place where that bang came from was not too far away from where Su Ming was. Tian Lin's roars also traveled into his ears.
"Sun Kun, Su Ming, if the two of you continue hiding here, then you'll definitely die! Come out and kill this True Guard!"
There was a shrill and hoarse tone in Tian Lin's voice. Clearly, the bang just now had caused him to suffer severe injuries.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, Fellow Daoist Su, this True Guard is in the middle stage of World Plane Realm. No matter how well the two of you hide, it will be difficult for you to escape death. Why don't you come out and fight against him together?!" There was a hint of weakness in Long Li's voice as it echoed in the air.
"Oh? "Sun Kun, Su Ming … Four of them are still alive, but there are only three glowing spots in my detection … Interesting. Could it be that there are other people besides the alien races in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence whose blood has not been recorded?" Jing Nan Zi's aloof voice also rose into the air.
Booming sounds continued echoing in the air. Muffled roars, Arts clashing against each other, and shrill, piercing sounds might have come from the distance, but Su Ming could hear them as he charged forward. He could already imagine just how brutal the battle was.
Su Ming knew that this was not a battle he could easily participate in. As he charged forward, he no longer headed deeper into the sealed region, but moved swiftly towards the exit.
When Su Ming fled, Sun Kun, who was at the core of the sealed region, had a constantly changing expression on his face. He could hear the booming sounds and roars that reached his ears clearly. At that moment, he gritted his teeth, got up, and charged towards a tunnel by his side. His body instantly became semi-indistinct.
'Damn it, they said my name. If that's the case, even if I escape from this place, I'll still be hunted down. If I don't want to never have a day of peace as a wanted criminal … I'll have to fight! ' It was not that Sun Kun had never thought about escaping, but there were members of his family in his cultivation planet. If he was truly hunted down, then his family members would definitely be the first to be brutally killed.
Sun Kun disappeared into the tunnel and charged towards the spot where the booming sounds were coming from. By then, Su Ming was already very close to the exit at the edge. He had also arrived at the area where the countless red threads of life force had died, which they had entered the very beginning.
Yet the moment he arrived, Su Ming's footsteps came to an abrupt halt. Before him was a man with long red hair sitting cross-legged and meditating. That man was sitting calmly. His helmet was placed by his side, and his face was filled with a cold and callous air. His long and narrow eyes might have been closed at that moment, but it still gave Su Ming the misconception that he was facing an ancient ferocious beast.
"Are you the person whose bloodline was not recorded during my inspection?" When the cold and dark voice tumbled out of the person's mouth, the red-haired man slowly opened his eyes. At the instant he did so, a red glare that looked like fresh blood filled the area.
Su Ming did not notice this person. He had not noticed his existence with his divine sense just now, but the presence spreading out from his body was the same as the True Guards he had sensed previously.
However, at that moment, Tian Lin and the others were fighting against the True Guards. If that was the case, then the person who remained in this place was definitely just a clone or a Nascent Divinity.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. Without any hesitation, he immediately moved backwards, looking as if he wanted to avoid the attack. His actions also matched the red-haired man's judgment.
"You're just in Earth Cultivation Realm. What a waste of the clone I left here." The red-haired man shook his head, then lifted his right hand and pointed at Su Ming in a very casual manner.
Boom!
Su Ming coughed up blood and immediately became dispirited, looking as if he had been gravely injured. He swung his right arm before him, and his body tumbled backwards like a kite with its string snapped.
However, the red-haired man did not notice that when Su Ming swung his arm as he tumbled backwards, an illusory shadow shot out from his sleeve and stung the air.
That shadow was a poisonous wasp, but the spot where it had stung was empty. There was only emptiness there.
"You're weaker than an ant." The red-haired man stood up and took a step towards Su Ming with the helmet in hand. When he was in midair, he lifted his left hand once again. This time, he straightened his fingers and pushed his palm down on the retreating Su Ming through the air.
However, during that instant, a freezing glare suddenly shone in Su Ming's eyes as blood trickled out of the corners of his mouth and he fell backwards. He stared at the spot where the red-haired man was, and the dispirited look on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by killing intent. He lifted his right hand in an instant, his palm facing upwards, and the back of his hand facing downwards. As he changed this back and forth, a wave of Destiny's power swiftly spread out from Su Ming's body.
Su Ming executed his inborn divine ability to change the flow of time at that moment, but he did not use it on the red-haired man. Instead, he used it on his own body.
Because of it, the red-haired man was still moving forward, and Su Ming's retreating body looked as if time was flowing in reverse. He turned from retreating to charging forward, and due to the power of time contained within that burst of speed, even the red-haired man was momentarily stunned.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ming had already appeared in front of the red-haired man. This was not Su Ming charging forward on his own. Instead, as time flowed in reverse, he had moved forward from retreating. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he had appeared in this spot before at some point in time.
However, at that time, when Su Ming was in this spot, he had forced himself to cough up blood. With that blood as a disguise, he swung his arm, and the poisonous wasp flew out from the opening of his sleeve. It stung the empty space beside him.
At that moment, as Su Ming's time flowed in reverse, his poisonous wasp also did the same thing. At that moment, it appeared beside Su Ming, and it was also … right beside the red-haired man who had stood up and chased after Su Ming.
Sharp stings shot out of the poisonous wasp's tail. Those sharp stings shone with a strange and enchanting light as they pierced into space. However, the poisonous wasp had indeed pierced into space in the past, but right then, the red-haired man's figure appeared in the space that was originally empty.
All of this seemed to have been planned beforehand. The poisonous wasp's sharp stings swiftly pierced the red-haired man's right arm.
He used Destiny's Art to change himself and not others. From this, it could be seen that Su Ming's usage of the power of Destiny had become different from before. He had become much more familiar with it, and there was even a hint of him being able to use it with ease.
"You're just a clone, and you want to kill me?!" Su Ming laughed coldly. All of his previous actions had been to make the poisonous wasp sting the red-haired man. He knew just how terrifying the poisonous wasp's poison was, but no matter how strong it was, if it could not stab into the other's body, then it would be completely useless.
Su Ming did not have the confidence that the poisonous wasp would be able to hide itself from the True Guards, who were Tian Lin and the others' divine sense and level of cultivation. That was why to be safe, he had not hesitated to retreat and cough up blood to set up this trap in an incredibly short amount of time.
At that moment, as the red-haired man's body trembled violently, he let out a shrill roar. His right arm instantly melted, and the rot spread even faster. In the blink of an eye, even his legs started rotting away.
"What is this poison?!" The red-haired man's expression changed drastically. He could no longer be bothered with killing Su Ming. Instead, with a single move, he wanted to return to his real body at the fastest speed possible. If he did so, then perhaps there would still be a possibility for him to keep his clone.
"Thinking of running?" Ruthlessness shone in Su Ming's eyes, but he knew that while this person was just a clone, he was still a True Guard, and he also had the power of a Lord of World Planes. At that moment, fear had appeared in his heart due to the poison, or else once he used the power of World Planes, it would have been incredibly difficult for Su Ming to fight back.
It was especially so for the finger attack just now. If Su Ming had not used his physical body and cultivation base to fight against it at the same time, along with the rebound from the Five Direction Seal in his body, it would have been incredibly difficult for him to withstand it.
Without any hesitation, Su Ming seized the air in his bosom with his right hand, and a gourd immediately appeared in his hand. An eye instantly appeared on the gourd, and it stared straight at the red-haired man who was charging forward in the distance.
Almost at the instant Jing Nan Zi's clone was stared at by the eye on the gourd, his heart shuddered, and he felt as if his soul had been locked down. At that instant, Su Ming's cold voice reached his ears.
"Treasured gourd, please kill him!"
"Thank you for your concern. I've heard all of your words. Honestly speaking, I haven't been this sick for several years. I feel slightly better today, and I don't have a fever in the morning. I hope that I'll be better tomorrow. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.) "
