Looking at the two figures leaping toward the giant mountain, Fang Rentang's face suddenly turned green and then white. Finally, he sighed helplessly.
"Damn cripple, do you think you can escape from me?"
A ferocious look flashed across his eyes as he turned into a streak of light and chased after Elder Lingxin.
"Well, this direction … Yes, turn left in front. After a while, turn left from the mountain road on the left …"
Under the warm sunshine, Elder Lingxin carried Chu Chen on his back and walked as if he was flying. Under his command, they constantly passed through one forest after another.
It had to be said that this giant mountain was really huge. When walking on it, they felt as if they were in a boundless mountain range.
Following Elder Lingxin and following the direction that Chu Chen pointed out, Fang Rentang's face became more and more gloomy after a few hours.
Because the surrounding environment seemed to be more and more desolate, and the trees and grass were fewer and fewer. The originally dense forest had now become a barren rocky area. It was dead silent.
"What … what is this guy doing?"
"Is he courting death?"
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that if they continued to walk forward, it would definitely be a dead area. There was no ghost at all. Was he leading them to death?
Just when Fang Rentang was about to lose his temper, he suddenly heard a faint singing voice coming from the front.
The voice was vigorous and powerful, sad and vicissitudes of life. It was the voice of an old man, and it floated over with the wind.
"Observing chess, Ke Lan, Felling trees, Ding Ding, Walking slowly at the valley entrance by the clouds …"
"Selling wine, Laughing wildly, Indulging in love. The autumn sky is high, Facing the moon, Sleeping on pine roots, Sleeping until dawn … "
"Recognizing the old forest, Climbing the cliffs, Cutting the withered vines with an axe …"
Hearing the voice, Lingxin could not help but stop. "There is actually a woodcutter in this place?"
Fang Rentang was extremely nervous. "How could there be a woodcutter in this place? Be careful."
This voice gave Chu Chen a feeling of deja vu. When he was thinking about who it could be, suddenly a black meteor broke through the sky and flew over from the horizon.
"Bang!"
A black-clothed old man holding a black dagger fell from the sky and landed in front of the three of them.
This old man wasn't tall and had a round face. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits. He looked very amiable, but the moment he landed, the entire atmosphere changed.
It was as if the sky and earth had been imprisoned by this old man in an instant.
The entire world became dark and gloomy.
Fang Rentang felt as if he had been instantly brought into a sealed space, even though the scenery around him had not changed at all.
Most likely, even elites at the great tier of the Spirit River Tier would not be able to perform such a terrifying spatial imprisonment.
How could there be such a super old devil in this huge mountain? Fang Rentang secretly cursed his bad luck, and his resentment towards Chu Chen increased by several degrees.
"Hello, I would like to ask for directions."
The black-robed old man smiled as he sized up the three of them. Fang Rentang suddenly felt as if his soul was being seen through by this old man. Although this old man was smiling from ear to ear, from the tyrannical method he used to seal the space, it was clear that he was an evil person.
This kind of evil person with heaven-defying strength killed people as if they were cutting grass. It was very likely that he would directly kill someone if he was unhappy.
Fang Rentang knew that he did not even have the ability to resist the strength above the great tier of the Spirit River Tier. His heart began to sink, and cold sweat kept seeping out of his palms.
In contrast, Lingxin was much calmer. The frost on her face did not decrease, and she said lightly, "Sir, I'm afraid you have asked the wrong person. We are also looking for our own way."
"Oh, we are all looking for our way. Fate, fate. But this little brother …"
When the black-clothed old man's gaze swept over the three of them, it stopped on Chu Chen's face. His eyes lit up. "Boy, we are truly fated to meet again. But why are you different from before?"
In fact, Chu Chen had already guessed that it might be him when he heard his voice. In the end, he saw that it was indeed Duan Xiong, one of the top ten evil overlords in the world.
This greedy old man appeared and disappeared unpredictably. When Chu Chen first saw him, his first thought was to hide. After all, in the Medicine Palace's Alchemist Competition, Gong Mu, who traveled the world as the successor of one of the top ten evil overlords, suffered a great loss at the hands of Chu Chen.
Chu Chen was very worried that Duan Xiong would immediately settle the score with him after recognizing him. However, after the Duan Xiong recognized him, he looked as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land. It seemed that he would not find trouble with him.
"Ahem … There was a small accident with my leg, so of course it is different from before."
Chu Chen knew that Duan Xiong was talking about his face. Of course, he would not admit it. He purposely said it was his leg. As he spoke, he winked at Duan Xiong, indicating that he should not expose him.
Duan Xiong understood tacitly and laughed. "Little brother, I know. Alright, it is fate that we met. Why don't you introduce us to each other?"
As soon as Duan Xiong's voice fell, his body trembled slightly. The world lit up again, and the imprisonment was instantly lifted.
"This is Elder Lingxin, the great alchemist of Biquan Xianzong. This is Sect Master Fang of the Pure Sun Sect's Fang Ren Hall."
After Chu Chen introduced the two people beside him, he pointed at the old man in black. "This old brother is Duan Xiong."
Hearing the two words "Duan Xiong", Fang Ren Hall felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He would never have dreamed that this smiling old man in black was the most difficult, most mysterious, and most greedy of the ten great evil overlords.
The ten great evil overlords were all ambitious and ruthless characters. Some of them were in charge of large sects, while others were in charge of an entire country. Only Duan Xiong was the most special.
According to legend, every time he appeared, he would be alone. He had a strange temper and was always smiling. However, if anyone provoked him, a sect or a country could disappear forever overnight.
His strength was said to be in the top three of the ten great evil overlords. His only flaw was his greed. He chased after wealth and treasures.
However, he had always prided himself as a businessman. Anything he wanted, he had a way of trading. He said that he was a businessman who followed the rules.
There was a rumor on the continent that he had taken a fancy to a legendary ancient sword in the Yun Nation. In the end, he made a deal with the royal family of the Yun Nation. He used the lives of more than 300 royal family members in exchange for the legendary ancient sword.
This made everyone speechless. This businessman was very principled. In fact, he would do anything for the sake of treasures because he had the final say in his principles.
At this moment, Fang Ren Hall only wanted to escape. However, although the imprisonment was lifted, he felt that he had lost all courage to move in front of this great evil overlord.
Lingxin, however, frowned. She wondered how Tiger Cub knew such a notorious old devil.
