On the other side, hearing the two screams, Meng Han and the other man's faces darkened. They did not need to think to know that the screams were coming from Cao Shi and his companion.
"Looks like Cao Shi and his companion were murdered again!" Sun Yi could not help but exclaim.
Even though he was the strongest among them, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked at this moment.
They had come with eight people. Who would have thought that only the two of them were left?
"Looks like it." Meng Han frowned.
"Could it be that Lin Li really has someone of the Stone sword rank, or someone even stronger, helping him in secret?" Meng Han asked.
"No, if it was someone of the Iron sword rank, they would have come out to deal with us long ago. They would not hide at all. At most, they would have someone of the Stone sword rank helping them, and there would not be many of them. At most, there would be one," Sun Yi analyzed.
"That's true." Feeling that Sun Yi was right, Meng Han could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
If it was really someone of the Iron sword rank, it would be useless no matter how many of them there were.
After confirming this, the two immediately sprinted in the direction of the screams.
Soon, they arrived at the place where Cao Shi and his companion were killed.
"Crown Prince, be careful. The opponent seems to be good at sneak attacks. It is best to pay attention to your surroundings and not give them a chance to do so," Sun Yi reminded.
"I know." Meng Han nodded. Actually, he could tell without Sun Yi's reminder.
As he said this, Sun Yi carefully examined the two on the ground. After a while, his expression turned ugly. "The opponent is indeed using a rune stone sword!"
"In other words, the opponent must have someone of the Stone sword rank helping them in secret!" Meng Han frowned.
They had thought that Lin Long had someone of the Stone sword rank helping him in secret. Who would have thought that Lin Long himself had such strength?
Because of this speculation, the two became even more cautious. They carefully searched their surroundings, but it was extremely quiet. There did not seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
In such silence, the two of them realized that their palms were already sweating due to nervousness.
"Lin Li, you coward, do you dare to come out and fight me!" Meng Han, who could not bear the nervousness, could not help but shout.
Linlong was naturally hiding at the side. However, he did not plan to go out directly. After all, Sun Yi, who knew the Stone Vein Steps, was not easy to deal with. Moreover, there was Meng Han beside him. If he went out like this, he might be defeated by them.
After shouting for a while and seeing that there was no response from the surroundings, Meng Han finally stopped.
"Prince, this place is indeed too dangerous. Why don't we return first." At this moment, Sun Yi suddenly said.
Sun Yi couldn't stand this kind of quiet environment. He vaguely felt that something bad would happen if he stayed here any longer. Therefore, he raised this suggestion.
Meng Han was naturally unwilling to leave just like that, but he also knew that it would be very dangerous if he continued to stay, so he immediately nodded and said, "Alright."
After speaking, the two of them wanted to leave this place.
However, at this moment, Sun Yi's expression changed. He discovered that there seemed to be many ferocious beasts surrounding them from the left.
Before he could warn them, the beasts had already discovered them and rushed towards them.
After seeing clearly what kind of Direbeasts they were, Sun Yi's expression became even uglier. This was because there were actually four Level 4 Direbeasts.
If they were chased by such Direbeasts, coupled with the fact that there was a Stone Sword Grade expert eyeing them covetously, it would be even more dangerous.
Therefore, Sun Yi directly said, "Prince, run!"
Meng Han's reaction was obviously a little slow. Therefore, before he could run away, the few Direbeasts had already rushed over. Soon, they were chased away by these Direbeasts.
One of the Direbeasts chased after Meng Han, while the other three chased after Sun Yi.
There was actually such a good thing. Seeing the two of them being chased by these Direbeasts in an instant, Linlong was a little stunned.
This was naturally a good opportunity to deal with the two of them. After thinking for a while, Linlong chased after Sun Yi.
After all, Sun Yi was a Stone Sword Grade expert, and he also knew Stone Pattern Steps. It was better to deal with him first.
As for Meng Han, he was not worried that he would let the tiger return to the mountain because he had already asked the bamboo rat to remember the other party's scent. After killing Sun Yi, he could just turn around and deal with him.
Just like that, Linlong directly followed behind Sun Yi.
Although these Direbeasts were level-four Direbeasts, they were not fast. Therefore, they were quickly left behind by Sun Yi, who knew Stone Pattern Steps.
Seeing that the danger was far away from him, Sun Yi, who was relieved, could not help but stop.
Damn it, there were actually three Direbeasts chasing after me. If there were two, I could totally use the ingenuity of Stone Pattern Steps to kill them. After stopping, Sun Yi cursed silently.
Not good! Suddenly, he sensed something, and immediately turned his head to look behind him.
He saw that there was an additional person behind him. It was Linlong.
Staring at Linlong, he could not help but ask, "Lin Li, are you alone?" At the same time, he used his Divine Will to scan the surroundings.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that Linlong seemed to be alone.
"That's right, I'm alone," Linlong said calmly.
"Linlong, you're really bold. You actually dared to follow me alone." Sun Yi laughed.
However, he quickly thought of something, and could not help but ask, "Could it be that you already have the strength of a Stone Sword Grade?"
"You're not stupid." Linlong smiled slightly, and then pulled out the Runestone Sword from his body.
Staring at the Runestone Sword in Linlong's hand, Sun Yi's pupils could not help but contract violently. "Could it be that you were alone just now?"
"That's right. If there were two of me, it would not be so troublesome to deal with you guys," Linlong said.
"Good lad, it seems that we have really underestimated you!" Sun Yi said coldly. "However, if you think that you can deal with me just because you have the strength of a Stone Sword Grade, you are very wrong!"
Although he knew that Linlong had the strength of a Stone Sword Grade, he was not worried at all after confirming that Linlong was alone. This was because he had the Stone Pattern Steps, and could fully activate the power of the Runestone Sword. There was no need to worry about not being able to deal with Linlong.
With that, Sun Yi attacked Linlong with his sword.
Seeing the sword aura coming towards him, Linlong also met it with his sword.
"Bang!"
Lin Long took a few steps back amidst the muffled sound.
Linlong had not been able to fully activate the power of the Runestone Sword, so this situation was not surprising.
After confirming that Linlong was weaker than him, Sun Yi was even more relieved.
"Lad, you actually want to deal with me? You really overestimate yourself!" Sun Yi immediately sneered.
Before he finished speaking, he attacked Linlong with his sword again.
Knowing that he was no match for Sun Yi in a head-on fight, Linlong hurriedly used the Wood Pattern Steps.
After using the Wood Pattern Steps, the pressure on his body suddenly eased, but Sun Yi said coldly, "It's just the Wood Pattern Steps!"
As he spoke, Sun Yi immediately used his Stone Rune Steps.
The Stone Pattern Steps was much more exquisite and nimble than the Wood Pattern Steps. Once Sun Yi used it, he directly suppressed Linlong.
Unknowingly, the two of them exchanged a few moves, and during these few moves, Sun Yi almost hit Linlong several times.
If not for Linlong's fast reaction, he would have been injured by Sun Yi's sword.
This situation made Sun Yi's face even more full of smiles.
"Lad, let's see how long you can last!" With that, Sun Yi swept the Runestone Sword in his hand towards Linlong again.
In the next moment, blood splattered from Linlong's left arm. His left arm had been directly hit by Sun Yi's sword.
"Lad, you're finished!" This situation made Sun Yi laugh out loud.
Immediately, the Runestone Sword in his hand attacked even more urgently.
After another two moves, Sun Yi's sword struck Linlong's back again. In an instant, fresh blood dyed the back of Linlong's clothes red.
After being struck twice, Linlong's speed had clearly slowed down, which made Sun Yi feel even more confident.
After another two moves, he directly attacked Linlong's left chest.
However, what he did not expect was that Linlong did not choose to block this time. Instead, he also attacked his left chest.
This was obviously a method of mutual destruction. Sun Yi, who believed that he had the upper hand, would not fight with Linlong in this manner. He immediately retreated and continued to move around Linlong.
Unknowingly, the two of them exchanged over a dozen moves. During this process, Linlong kept trying to use a method that would cause both of them to suffer. However, Sun Yi did not give him the chance to do so. Once Linlong used such a method, Sun Yi would immediately retreat and then use the intricacies of the Stone Vein Steps to attack Linlong.
In this way, after a dozen moves, Linlong suffered a significant injury again.
In the end, he directly fell to the ground.
Seeing Linlong fall to the ground, Sun Yi completely heaved a sigh of relief. From the damage he had inflicted on Linlong, he was certain that Linlong no longer had the ability to fight.
Because if it was an ordinary person, they would have long fallen to the ground without the ability to retaliate.
Sun Yi could not help but praise, "Lad, you're really resilient. If it was someone else, they would have long lost their life."
As he spoke, he walked towards Linlong.
After that, he muttered, "I wonder where the Crown Prince went. I can only hope that nothing happens to him."
If something happened to Meng Han, even if he killed Linlong, he would not know who to claim credit for it. Hence, he naturally hoped that nothing happened to Meng Han.
As he spoke, he had already arrived in front of Linlong.
Although Linlong seemed to have lost the ability to fight, Sun Yi still raised the sword in his hand just in case. He was prepared to give Linlong a fatal blow.
It was also at this moment that Linlong, who was lying on the ground seemingly powerless, suddenly sprung up. Then, the runic stone sword in his hand shot towards Sun Yi's chest.
How is this possible? How does this kid still have such powerful strength? Sun Yi could not help but be shocked.
Because Linlong's attack was too sudden and powerful, Sun Yi had no way of dodging at all. In fact, he did not even have the opportunity to use the sword in his hand to block it. Hence, he could only send his runic stone sword forward.
He could only hope that both he and Linlong would suffer heavy injuries.
As a thought came to his mind, his eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered that he had the high-grade Wood Grain Robe on him, which could completely neutralize a portion of the other party's sword aura. If that happened, he might even survive. Of course, heavy injuries were unavoidable.
In the blink of an eye, both of their runic stone swords stabbed into each other's chests.
Two muffled groans rang out. Then, both of them took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
Sun Yi was in so much pain that he almost fainted. However, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay awake.
As long as I'm awake, I'll definitely be able to survive, he thought.
As for Linlong, he did not think that Linlong would be able to survive. After all, Linlong was already severely injured. Now that he had received a fatal blow, there was no way he could survive.
However, in the next moment, his expression changed drastically. He heard footsteps coming from the front.
Is that kid alright?
Startled, he struggled to raise his head and look forward. Then, he saw a person holding a runic stone sword walking towards him. Who else could it be but Linlong?
"Linlong … You … How can you still …?" Sun Yi exclaimed in shock.
Before he could finish his sentence, Linlong had already slashed down with his sword.
After a miserable cry, Sun Yi was completely dead.
After killing Sun Yi, Linlong could not help but heave a sigh of relief. His strength was almost depleted, and he almost fell to the ground. However, with the support of the runic stone sword in his hand, he managed to stand up.
After catching his breath, he hurriedly took out a supreme-grade healing pill and swallowed it. After consuming it, he quickly sat on the ground to meditate and heal his injuries.
Although the other party had dealt him a fatal blow, he managed to withstand it with his powerful body technique.
As for the other party's previous attack, it actually did not cause much damage to him. He merely acted like that to confuse the other party. Of course, this was also because of his body technique. If it were any other person, they would have collapsed long ago.
After meditating and healing for a while, Linlong felt a little more relaxed.
Knowing that it would be very dangerous to continue healing here, as ferocious beasts could come at any time, Linlong immediately left after taking Sun Yi's space ring. Then, he found a nearby cave to hide in.
At this time, it would be difficult to deal with Meng Han. Hence, Linlong could only give up.
After spending more than a day, his injuries were more or less healed.
At this time, he took out the few space rings he had seized. He now hoped to find a secret book like the Stone Lined Steps in them, because that way, he could directly cultivate it.
The exquisiteness of the Stone Lined Steps made him hope to master it as soon as possible. If he had the Stone Lined Steps before, it would not have been so difficult to deal with Sun Yi.
However, what made his expression turn ugly was that these people did not have the Stone Lined Steps on them at all. Sun Yi, who had mastered the Stone Lined Steps, did not have it in his space ring either.
The only thing that comforted Linlong was that these people had a lot of Mysterious Crystal Stones on them. Although it was not enough to buy the Stone Lined Steps, it was enough to give him hope.
That Meng Han must have escaped, Linlong thought to himself.
Because the ferocious beast that chased after Meng Han was not fast, Linlong did not have much hope that it could kill Meng Han.
Even so, after leaving the stone cave, he still released the bamboo rat.
