The three of them shuttled through the dense forest, stepping on the grass and trees. They avoided the beasts as much as they could without making a sound.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a scream sounded in front of them. Birds flew away in fright. Wutian and the other two stopped and hid behind a huge rock. They poked their heads out to look.
A hundred feet in front of them was a valley. A black-robed man stood there. His face was covered in a black light, making it hard to see clearly!
Under the black-robed man's feet was a young man around twenty years old. He was lying in a pool of blood. There was a long sword in his chest. Flames were rising and the sword was shining brightly.
"Keke, another delicious meal."
He let out a hoarse and sinister laugh. Although his face was covered by the black light, the scarlet light in his eyes could be clearly seen. It was filled with cruelty. If he revealed his true appearance, it would definitely be an extremely sinister face.
The black-robed man stretched out his hands. They were extremely pale, like a pair of dead hands. There was not the slightest trace of blood.
His ten fingers moved and formed a complicated seal. Black fog rose from his hands and arms. It was like a demonic aura. This place was drowned in a hazy, gloomy and terrifying aura!
The seal floated in the air, emitting waves of cold air. Gradually, a series of wuwu sounds sounded. It was like a ghost was screaming, crying and wailing!
The black-robed man pointed his finger and the seal covered the young man. Suddenly, a hair-raising scene appeared.
The seal spewed out a large amount of black smoke. It quickly condensed into a ferocious and twisted ghost face. It was like an evil spirit had stepped into the world. It was horrifying!
"Wuwu!" The ghost face's cry was mournful and terrifying. It stretched out a long black tongue and licked the young man's corpse. Its black eyes were actually suffused with a dark light. It was extremely strange!
It opened its mouth and a thick black smoke enveloped the young man's body. As if it had a strong corrosive power, the flesh and blood on the corpse quickly melted and turned into blood-red essence Qi that flowed into the ghost face's mouth.
The ghost face's eyes became more and more gloomy, as if it was enjoying a delicious meal. It was very intoxicated.
Not long after, the flesh and blood on the young man's body disappeared. It was all fused into the ghost face. Its outline began to gradually grow.
"What a vicious secret manual. I didn't think that the Fire Cloud Sect would be so heartless, doing such inhumane things." Han Tian said in a low voice.
"Eating human flesh and taking their blood essence for their own use, this seems to be some kind of demonic book!"
In the depths of Wutian's eyes, disgust and killing intent coexisted. The people of the Fire Cloud Sect had already lost their humanity. It was fine if they ate demonic beasts, but they actually attacked their own kind. If it weren't for the fact that he was worried about alerting the enemy, he would have already attacked and turned them into ashes.
While they were talking, the young man's flesh and blood had been eaten by the ghost face, and even his bones were not spared. All that was left on the ground was a pile of black hair and bloodstained clothes.
"Keke!" The black-robed man laughed sinisterly. His five fingers moved at the same time, and the ghost face turned into black smoke and merged into his body. Immediately, his body was submerged in the black fog. His eyes blazed with bloody light, and his aura suddenly became much stronger!
"So delicious. My cultivation is crazily rising, and my strength is multiplying. In a few days, I will be able to break through the Dacheng stage and reach the Perfection stage. Hehe, who will be next!" He greedily licked his lips and turned into a black fog, disappearing.
"Son of a bitch, you deserve to die!" Han Tian finally couldn't bear it and jumped out, cursing in a low voice.
Wutian said, "It seems that the Fire Cloud Sect snatching disciples everywhere is not as simple as it seems on the surface. They have other motives."
"Who cares what their motives are. When the sect elders come, I will peel their skin, pull out their tendons, chop them into pieces, and feed them to the dogs."
Wutian shook his head and said, "Don't speak too early. Quickly lead the way!"
"Hmph, just wait and see!" Han Tian waved his sleeves and rushed in the direction of the token.
Along the way, the three of them saw a few more disciples of the Fire Cloud Sect. They used the same method to devour the essence and blood of others to increase their own strength. Their vicious behavior made one's hair stand on end. Moreover, the three of them found that they were specifically looking for people to attack, ignoring the demonic beasts.
After half an hour, Wutian and the other two avoided the demonic beasts and the disciples of the Fire Cloud Sect and came to the side of a hill.
Han Tian said softly, "Lower your voice, the target is in front."
The hill was more than five hundred feet tall, with lush vegetation and bushes. There were constantly the chirping of insects. The three of them lay on the ground and slowly climbed up, not daring to make the slightest sound.
After a few dozen breaths, they finally climbed to the top of the hill. They hid in a bush and looked down. There was a huge bluestone below, located in the forest. A burly man sat cross-legged on it. His short hair stood erect, and his face was full of stubble. His body was shining, and his skin was dark. He looked very healthy.
"He looks like a simple and honest person, but his heart is as evil as a demon." Han Tian curled his lips.
Wutian looked around and said softly, "This person has a majestic aura. He should be Elder Wu, but why aren't the two of them here?"
"They probably went to the Zhao Family."
Wutian said, "Remember the direction. Let's go first."
The aura that the burly man exuded was too terrifying. It was like a giant mountain, causing the pressure to multiply. Wutian estimated that the burly man had a strength of at least 150,000. If he was discovered, he would definitely die.
"Look, there is a stone tablet in the bush beside the bluestone. It seems to be the Soul Suppressing Tablet. Soul Suppressing Tablet, Soul Suppressing Tablet, Soul Suppressing Tablet. It seems like our guess is correct. "Han Tian said softly.
The tablet was hidden in the bush. If one didn't look carefully, it would be hard to find it.
"The Soul Suppressing Tablet should be used to suppress the soul of the Desolate Heavenly Scorpion." Wutian stared at the Soul Suppressing Tablet.
Han Tian said, "We'll study it again in the future. Let's go first."
After saying that, he slowly retreated. Then, he suddenly stopped and looked at his feet with a pale face.
"Hmm?" Wutian was puzzled. He looked over and his expression changed.
There was a poisonous snake here. It was three meters long and as thick as an arm. Its skin had seven colors and was emitting a hazy radiance. Half of its body was upright. Its long and narrow eyes were cold. The snake kept flicking its tongue, and strands of sparkling and translucent saliva flowed out.
This snake was abnormally beautiful. It had seven colors and was as gorgeous as colorful satin. However, Wutian and Wutian looked as if they had seen a ghost. Their faces were very ugly.
The little guy narrowed its small eyes and looked around lazily. It didn't seem to care about it at all.
"Why are we so unlucky to encounter the Seven-Step Life Chasing Snake?" Han Tian murmured, but he didn't dare to move.
The Seven-step Life Chasing Snake. Just from its name, one could tell that it was not a kind creature. Although the snake was not very large, its attack power was very strong. Its sharp teeth were comparable to that of the little fellow. However, the most important thing was its speed, which was extremely shocking.
The reason why it was called Seven-Step Life Chasing Snake was because of its speed. As long as it was within its sight, it could catch up with it in seven steps.
If it weren't for the burly man, Han Tian and Wutian wouldn't be afraid. They could easily deal with it. However, if they fought now, they would definitely alarm the burly man. By then, they would only have a dead end.
What should they do?
The two of them were desperately thinking of a plan, but they still couldn't figure it out.
The Seven-Step Life Chasing Snake flicked its tongue as if it was examining the three of them. When it looked at Lil 'Tian, its pupils shrank slightly. It was obviously a little afraid.
"Croak …" The little guy walked up the mountain and croaked softly. It waved its claws as if it was saying something.
The Seven-Step Life Chasing Snake hissed, shaking its head and nodding at times. Its cold eyes seemed to have softened a lot.
The little guy pointed at Wutian and Wutian, then pointed at itself. Its two little claws were akimbo, looking like a big boss.
"Hiss!" The Seven-Step Life Chasing Snake shook its head. Its gentle eyes suddenly became extremely cold. Its long tail swayed, and the snake's tongue rolled. It seemed that negotiations had broken down and it was about to attack.
"Brother Wu, with our speed, can we disappear before the burly man comes?" Han Tian asked.
Wutian shook his head.
Han Tian pondered for a while and sighed. "It seems that we can only use this move."
He took out two crystals from his mustard seed bag. They were as big as an egg and were gray in color. There was a small storm circling on them, and the wind element was extremely rich.
"This is the wind element essence. I wanted to refine it when I condensed the wind core, but it seems that there is no chance." He took out one and threw it to Wutian. "The wind element essence can increase the speed by ten times. However, it only lasts for ten breaths. If we can't escape in ten breaths, we can only fight to the end."
"Hiss!" At this time, the negotiation between Lil 'Tian and the Seven-Step Life Chasing Snake failed. Its head swooped down and opened its mouth, revealing four sharp fangs. It bit towards Han Tian's thigh as fast as lightning.
"Let's go!"
Han Tian swallowed the wind element essence in one gulp. At the same time, he kicked out and hit the Seven-Step Life Chasing Snake's head. With a bang, he actually retreated three meters.
"Wuu! Wuu!" He didn't care about revenge anymore. Wind appeared under his feet and he disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
At the same time that Han Tian escaped, two whirlwinds appeared under Wutian's feet. His body suddenly became several times lighter, and he could cover more than three hundred meters in one step. He grabbed the running little guy and continuously stepped forward. His feet didn't touch the ground as he walked on air.
"Hiss!" The Seven-Step Life Chasing Snake hissed. Its body swayed, and its speed wasn't any slower than the two as it followed closely behind.
Just as Wutian and Lil 'Tian disappeared, a figure appeared on the hill. His body was very sturdy and he was eight feet tall. His aura was as boundless as the ocean and unfathomable.
"Seven-Step Life Chasing Snake?" The burly man frowned. He only saw the shadow of the Seven-Step Life Chasing Snake and didn't see any trace of Wutian and the others.
"This snake is extraordinary. It wouldn't be a bad idea to capture it and make it into a spirit pet for the younger generation," the burly man mumbled. He actually crossed three hundred meters in one step and was inconceivably fast.
"Oh no, the burly man is chasing after us. It seems he's discovered us. There's still seven breaths left. Let's run." Han Tian was shocked. The aura behind them was too powerful. He didn't need to turn around to feel it.
Wutian's expression was as calm as water. They had used three breaths to travel two miles. Where could they run to with seven breaths left? One had to know that the two behind them were already so fast to begin with. They couldn't stop for a long time!
"To the river." Wutian thought of the river at the edge of the Scorpio Ridge. Only by reaching there would they have a chance to escape.
Their current position was close to four miles away from the river. They still had seven breaths of time, which should be enough.
The three of them changed their direction and rushed toward the river.
