Soon, the two of them caught up to Linlong.
However, Hao Fenglan, who had suffered once, did not give Linlong the same chance as before. After calculating the distance, he activated his movement technique and chased after Linlong at full speed.
By the time Linlong reacted, he was already in front of Lin Long.
Linlong frowned at the sudden appearance of the other party, and immediately said coldly, "Teacher, as a teacher, you actually broke the rules to come to the 10 vertical ravine. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the people from the Runes Faculty?"
How did this kid know that I'm a teacher? Hao Fenglan was stunned.
However, he quickly understood that it was because of Linlong's powerful divine will that Lin Long had heard his conversation with the girl in black in the cell.
"I didn't expect you to discover my identity, but it doesn't matter. You're the only one who knows. No matter what you say, no one will believe you." Hao Fenglan smiled calmly.
As he spoke, runes flashed on the wooden rune sword in his hand.
Knowing that this battle was inevitable, Linlong hurriedly activated the wooden rune sword in his hand. He had already given up on escaping. Since the other party could appear in such a manner, his movement technique was definitely faster than his, and there was no use in running.
In the next moment, Hao Fenglan suddenly moved, and the longsword in his hand pierced towards Linlong. In an instant, a wave of sword aura shot over.
Linlong also met it with his sword.
"Bang!"
The sword aura struck, and a dull thud was heard. Then, Linlong directly took seven or eight steps back. As for Hao Fenglan, he also retreated at a similar speed.
In other words, the two of them seemed to be evenly matched.
It can't be, how did Linlong become stronger in such a short period of time? The girl in black who had just arrived naturally widened her eyes in shock at this scene.
This was naturally because Linlong was more familiar with the wooden rune sword in his hand, and it was precisely because of this that he could fight with Hao Fenglan to such an extent. Otherwise, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"I didn't expect you to improve on the wooden rune sword again," Hao Fenglan said with a frown.
He had naturally seen the intense battle between Linlong and the girl in black, and thus had an understanding of Linlong's strength. He felt that he could easily use the wooden rune sword to deal with Linlong, but who knew that Linlong would improve in such a short period of time.
"It's all thanks to you," said Linlong.
"However, you're wrong if you think you can escape just like that." Hao Fenglan suddenly laughed.
After saying that, he attacked Linlong again. However, this time, he didn't rush over directly. Instead, his footwork changed continuously.
With a single glance, Lin Long could tell that his opponent had used some sort of movement technique.
If that were to happen, things would get dangerous. Linlong frowned. However, he had no other choice but to rely on his own reaction speed to deal with the other party.
However, the consequence of this was that after a few moves, his opponent's sword slashed across his left shoulder. Even with the body technique, his left shoulder still suffered a serious injury.
The young lady in black naturally smiled when she saw this. She had thought that Hao Fenglan would need her help to deal with Lin Long. Who would have thought that Lin Long would not be able to fight back after Hao Fenglan used her movement technique?
Before he knew it, a few more moves had passed, and Linlong was struck three more times.
Although none of the attacks were fatal, Linlong was bound to lose if this went on.
It seemed like he had no choice but to use a suicidal attack. Linlong's gaze turned cold.
With this decision, he ignored the other party's sword aura when he attacked again. Instead, he directly attacked his opponent's chest.
This brat wants to die together with me? Hao Fenglan was shocked when he saw Linlong's attack.
Although he would definitely be able to severely injure Linlong, he would also be injured. Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, he finally withdrew the wooden rune sword in his hand and attacked Linlong in another direction.
What made him depressed was that Linlong still used a suicidal attack.
Hao Fenglan, who did not intend to be injured, could only withdraw the wooden rune sword in his hand again.
The young lady in black who saw Linlong's attack immediately wanted to join the battle. In her opinion, if she and Hao Fenglan joined forces against Linlong, he would not be able to fight back at all.
Whoosh!
It was also at this moment that Hao Fenglan felt a strong force behind him, as if something had sneakily attacked him.
Hao Fenglan was shocked and hurriedly turned his body to the side. This gave Linlong an opportunity to slash his right leg.
Hao Fenglan quickly dodged to the right, while Linlong took this opportunity to dash behind Hao Fenglan.
Although this attack injured Hao Fenglan, it was not fatal. If he continued to fight with Hao Fenglan, it would be disadvantageous for him. Therefore, he naturally seized this opportunity to dash in that direction.
There was a person standing not far in front of him. It was this person who had thrown a rock to distract Hao Fenglan. Otherwise, he would not have had the chance to injure Hao Fenglan.
This person was none other than Zhao Ding, who had been injured previously.
Zhao Ding felt that he had recovered a little, so he went out for a stroll. It was because of this that he saw Linlong being forced into a corner. After thinking about it, he threw a rock.
It was also because of this that Linlong had such an opportunity.
After being stunned for a moment, the girl in black hurriedly chased after him. As for Hao Fenglan, she also chased after Linlong after a short pause.
However, because the sword injury was on his leg, Hao Fenglan's speed was obviously much slower. Therefore, she did not immediately catch up to Linlong. Instead, Linlong escaped to a ravine on the right.
At this moment, Zhao Ding had already rushed into this ravine.
Hao Fenglan and the girl in black naturally chased after him. However, as soon as they entered, three white egg-like objects shot towards them.
The girl in black, who had suffered a huge loss previously, hurriedly shouted, "Be careful, it's the Black Spirit Bird's egg!"
She thought that Linlong still had the Black Spirit Bird's egg on him.
After hearing the girl in black's words, Hao Fenglan, who originally wanted to smash these things with one sword strike, hurriedly used 120% of his strength to grab the three things.
After a flurry, he and the girl in black finally caught the three things. However, what made his expression turn ugly was that these three things were not eggs at all. They were clearly three white fruits.
When the girl in black saw that they were white fruits, she couldn't help but blush. She immediately said awkwardly, "I suffered a loss just now and broke a few Black Spirit Bird's eggs."
"Young Miss, let's hurry up and chase after them," Hao Fenglan hurriedly said.
He didn't have much time, and it would be bad if he couldn't catch Linlong as soon as possible.
The two of them hurriedly chased after Linlong, and they soon reached a fork in the road. After arriving here, Hao Fenglan's brows were tightly knitted together. This was because he actually couldn't see where the two of them ran to.
Helpless, he could only activate the detection rune again. When he sensed Linlong's location, his expression immediately became ugly. This was because Linlong had actually run far away.
"This brat can really run!" The girl in black couldn't help but curse.
Without saying too much, the two of them chased after Linlong again. However, this time, Linlong was clearly much more cautious. As soon as Hao Fenglan approached, he immediately escaped without a trace.
Of course, this had something to do with Hao Fenglan's leg injury. Otherwise, it would still be the same as before, and Linlong wouldn't have a chance to escape at all.
At this time, Linlong naturally wasn't together with Zhao Ding because it was obviously more convenient for him to escape alone.
"What should we do?" Seeing how fast Linlong was running, the girl in black couldn't help but frown.
"We can only split up and block him in the middle," Hao Fenglan said.
Of course, it was also possible to give him some time to rest, but the problem was that by the time he was done resting, Zhou Lengtong would already be there.
Therefore, this was the only method. Although this method would slightly waste time, it could still surround the other party within a limited time.
Immediately, the two of them chased after Linlong.
After getting close to Linlong and confirming his specific location, Hao Fenglan asked the girl in black to stay on one side and block Linlong, preventing him from coming out from this side, while he went in a big circle.
At this time, Linlong just happened to be in a ravine, and Hao Fenglan went in a big circle, so he didn't notice this.
By the time he noticed that the two of them were surrounding him from both sides, it was already too late.
Before the two of them completely surrounded him, Linlong directly rushed towards the girl in black because he knew that he could only leave by breaking through here. Otherwise, if he really waited for Hao Fenglan to surround him from the other side, he wouldn't be able to leave.
Soon, he came in front of the girl in black.
Seeing Linlong rushing over, the girl in black said fiercely, "Let's see where you can escape this time!"
Linlong, on the other hand, slashed at him with his sword without saying a word.
The girl in black hurriedly blocked with her sword.
When the sword aura hit, the girl in black directly took a few steps back. Before she could steady herself, Linlong slashed out again.
Linlong's method of ending the battle as quickly as possible was effective. By the time Hao Fenglan arrived, he had already forced the girl in black to stand in front of a boulder.
At this time, Hao Fenglan was obviously a little hesitant. He said to Linlong, "Brat, stay away from the young lady. Otherwise, I will go all out and kill you!"
Although Linlong still couldn't control the girl in black, he knew that if Linlong wanted to attack, the girl in black would definitely be injured by Linlong's sword.
"Stay away from her and then let you deal with me? I'm not that stupid, "Linlong said with a calm expression.
"Then what do you want?" Hao Fenglan frowned.
"Retreat a distance of 700 to 800 feet," Linlong said.
"That's impossible!" Hao Fenglan immediately said.
Retreating so far away meant that he would be wasting his energy this time.
"If you don't retreat, then I can only risk my life to kill this girl!" Linlong said coldly.
"Alright," Hao Fenglan could only say helplessly.
As he spoke, he began to retreat.
It was also at this time that the girl in black in front of Linlong moved. She suddenly attacked Linlong with her sword.
She was already injured, so she was basically fighting with her life on the line just like Linlong. Naturally, it was to fight for a chance for Hao Fenglan.
However, how could Linlong give her such a chance? He reacted quickly and whipped the runic wooden sword in his hand.
"Pa!" The black-clothed girl was forced back again.
"Hurry up and retreat. I don't have that much patience!" Linlong said coldly.
"Alright, I will retreat." With that said, Hao Fenglan could only retreat even faster.
As for the girl in black, she didn't know what to say. Although she didn't want Hao Fenglan to retreat, she wouldn't be able to stop Linlong if he really rushed over. If that happened, Linlong might even die if he fought with his life on the line.
After Hao Fenglan retreated, Linlong looked at the girl in black and smiled. "Girl, I will leave first. We will meet again if there's a chance."
After saying that, he sprinted forward, leaving behind the girl in black who was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.
At this time, Linlong could still kill the girl in black if he fought with his life on the line. However, the problem was that after he killed her, Hao Fenglan would rush over and he definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't do such a strenuous and unrewarding thing.
Hao Fenglan's strength should be limited by the ten vertical ravine. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to spend so much effort to deal with me. Linlong thought as he ran.
With his rich experience, he could naturally see this point. However, he didn't know the specifics.
After Linlong ran far away, Hao Fenglan returned to where the girl in black was.
"Miss, are you alright?"
When he saw that the girl in black was fine, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. However, he still asked such a question.
"I'm fine … You have to quickly capture that brat." The girl in black furrowed her brows.
During this period of time, she had already consumed a healing pill and started to meditate on the spot to recover.
"This … I'm afraid it'll be a little difficult." Hao Fenglan smiled bitterly.
If the girl in black wasn't injured, he could still surround Linlong like before. Now that the girl in black was injured, how could he use such a method?
Of course, he could also wait for his leg injury to slightly recover. However, by the time his leg injury healed, Zhou Lengtong would have already arrived. How could he still stay in the ravine? Therefore, he had no choice but to say such words.
Although the girl in black was unwilling, she also knew that there was no way to capture Linlong now. Therefore, she didn't say anything else and only furrowed her brows.
"Miss, don't worry. As long as that brat stays in here, there will always be a chance to capture him … It'll be even better if he runs out of the Runes Institute," Hao Fenglan hurriedly said.
After a while, when the time was almost up, Hao Fenglan left the ten vertical ravine.
During this process, Linlong was naturally extremely worried. He was afraid that Hao Fenglan and the girl in black would attack again. However, he heaved a sigh of relief when he didn't see Hao Fenglan again after a day.
When the time was up, the invisible energy net above his head immediately disappeared.
Knowing that he could already leave the ravine, Linlong hurriedly climbed up. Soon, he reached the top.
Not long after, the people who were still alive also climbed up. Zhao Ding was also among them. This made Linlong heave a sigh of relief.
If not for Zhao Ding, he would have been dead in the ravine, especially when he was surrounded by Hao Fenglan and the girl in black.
