Seeing Ji Tianxing escape on his sword, the Heaven-devouring Beast roared angrily and chased after him with all its might.
It flapped its four pairs of wings and its body emitted a dazzling blood-red light. It streaked across the night sky like a shooting star.
However, after it chased for three hundred miles, Ji Tianxing left it behind without a trace.
Ji Tianxing, who was flying on his sword, reached the limit of his speed. He was comparable to an expert at the fourth or fifth level of the Soul Tempering Realm.
The Heaven-devouring Beast had been carefully nurtured by the Third Prince for a long time and had reached the Soul Tempering Realm under the catalysis of the Thousand Gu Origin.
However, it had great strength and powerful defense. It could devour all things.
Speed was not its strong suit. It was only at the level of an ordinary expert at the second level of the Soul Tempering Realm.
The Heaven-devouring Beast stopped in the night sky unwillingly. After roaring angrily a few times, its body shrank violently.
Swoosh!
After a dark red flash, its thousand-meter-long body shrank several hundred times, turning into a red-haired youth two meters tall.
It turned into Tuoba Rui's appearance. His face was ferocious, his eyes were blood-red, and there was a bloody mouth on his abdomen.
However, the real Tuoba Rui had been completely destroyed.
He was not the real Heaven-devouring Beast, but a Celestial Capital puppet!
He had fused with Tuoba Rui's body and soul and had a part of Tuoba Rui's memories and intelligence. He did not look as dull and stiff as before.
However, as a Celestial Capital puppet, he did not have his own thoughts and was completely obedient to the Third Prince.
"Ji Tianxing! You insignificant worm, one day, I will completely devour you! "
The Celestial Capital puppet clenched his fists. The bloody mouth on his abdomen opened and closed as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
With that, he flapped the wings on his back and turned into a dark red stream of light. He tore through the night sky at lightning speed and returned to Zhongzhou City.
A few hours passed quickly.
At noon the next day, the Celestial Capital puppet rushed back to the palace in the south of Zhongzhou City.
Swoosh!
He descended from the sky and landed outside the gate of the manor.
The guards at the gate immediately bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Young Master Tuoba!"
The Celestial Metropolis puppet ignored the many guards and expressionlessly stepped through the gate into the manor.
Not long after, he entered the palace in the depths of the manor and came to the door of the Third Prince's secret room.
He opened the stone door of the secret chamber with a secret technique and strode into the secret chamber.
Inside the secret chamber, the Third Prince was sitting upright on a spiritual jade throne. He held a spiritual stone in each of his hands and was circulating his martial arts to recover his strength.
Previously, in order to use the Heaven Capital Blood Fusion Grand Technique to refine the Heaven Capital Puppet, he had used up seventy to eighty percent of his power, and his vitality was greatly damaged.
Even though he had been recuperating for two or three days, he still hadn't fully recovered.
The Celestial Puppet entered the secret chamber and stood ten steps away from him. It bowed respectfully and said, "Master!"
The Third Prince stopped cultivating and opened his eyes to look at Tuoba Ba. He asked in a cold voice, "Tuoba, have you completed your mission? Where is Ji Tianxing? "
The Celestial Puppet revealed an ashamed expression. It lowered its head and said, "Reporting to Master, this subordinate has failed in his task and allowed Ji Tianxing to escape!"
"That little bastard actually escaped?" The Third Prince's expression changed and he frowned fiercely.
The Celestial Puppet didn't dare to hide anything and hurriedly reported what had happened last night in detail.
After the Third Prince finished listening, his expression became more and more serious. His eyes surged with intense anger and hatred.
"I have just refined the Celestial Puppet, and this is the first time I used this secret weapon. It actually failed in its task and allowed Ji Tianxing to escape!
Tuoba Rui, this bastard, I have raised him for more than ten years in vain. I didn't expect him to be an ingrate!
He is only left with his soul, but he actually colluded with Ji Tianxing and joined forces to resist. His death is not regrettable! "
The Celestial Puppet felt the Third Prince's anger and murderous intent. It lowered its head in reverence and didn't dare to make a sound.
After a moment, when the Third Prince's anger dissipated a little, it opened its mouth and said, "Master, this subordinate has disappointed you!
However, this subordinate saw the direction Ji Tianxing escaped in. It seems to be towards Cloud Spirit Palace.
Master, please don't worry. This subordinate will go to Cloud Spirit Palace and set up an ambush. This time, we will definitely be able to capture Ji Tianxing! "
The Celestial Puppet had a certain level of intelligence. Although its intelligence wasn't very high, it at least knew how to make up for its mistakes.
The Third Prince waved his hand and said expressionlessly, "No need. You have already failed once. It's useless to set up an ambush now. He will definitely be alert.
This operation is just a test. It doesn't matter if it fails.
At least, the Celestial Puppet's power and effect have already reached my expectations. It will be of great use in the future! "
The Celestial Puppet respectfully cupped its hands and asked, "Master, how should we deal with Ji Tianxing?"
The Third Prince said with a gloomy face, "Let him live for a few more days. After I have completely removed the hidden dangers in my body and my strength has recovered to its peak, I will personally kill him.
There is still a month until his wedding with Yun Yao. When the time comes, I will turn his wedding into a funeral! "
"This subordinate understands!" The Celestial Puppet cupped its hands and bowed.
"Don't worry and recuperate! Merge with Tuoba Rui's soul as soon as possible and increase your strength! "
The Third Prince waved his sleeves and shot out a hazy spiritual light. He then put the Celestial Puppet into the Five-Colored Altar.
...
At the same time, Ji Tianxing was riding on Qian Yue and flying in the white sea of clouds.
The noon sun shone on his body, making him feel a trace of warmth. The fatigue in his body was also dispelled.
Last night, in order to escape the pursuit of the Heaven-Swallowing Beast, he had used up a lot of True Core Strength to run for hundreds of miles on his sword.
In addition, he had used his trump card several times during his journey. More than half of the True Core Strength in his body had been used up.
Now, his strength was very weak. He only had about 40% of his combat strength left.
If the Heaven-Swallowing Beast caught up with him again, he would definitely not be its match.
"Long Zaitian, that bastard, actually used the Origin of All Poisonous Insects and sorcery to cultivate the Heaven-Swallowing Beast. He is so vicious and cruel that it makes one's hair stand on end!
Luckily, he only sent the Heaven-Swallowing Beast and didn't come to kill me personally. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to escape last night! "
Ji Tianxing murmured in a low voice. His face was still gloomy and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
As Qian Yue flew, he said to him, "Old Ji, the Third Prince has been using all kinds of tricks against you. You are in the open and he is in the dark. This way, you are in a very passive situation!
Doesn't Long Yunxiao have a grudge against him? Why do you have to fight alone?
I suggest you talk to Long Yunxiao. Maybe the two of you can work together to deal with the Third Prince!
With your strength and methods, and Long Yunxiao's power, you might be able to kill him! "
Ji Tianxing nodded and said calmly, "Qian Yue, even if you didn't remind me, I also had this idea.
However, I have to go to Cloud Spirit Palace first. When I return to the Imperial Residence, I will discuss this with Long Yunxiao. "
Qian Yue flapped his wings and continued, "Oh right, Old Ji, you have to tell Palace Master Yun and Doctor Baili about this. After all, they are senior experts. Maybe they can think of a way.
You are not fighting alone now. We are all supporting you!
