"Why did he run away?" Yan Dong was stunned.
"I don't know. He suddenly muttered some strange words and ran away," Ah Sheng said helplessly.
As the runic storm was too strong, they didn't dare to chase after him. Hence, they could only let Xiao Bing run away for no reason.
"Brother Dong, what was the wind array that Xiao Bing was muttering about?" Linlong asked curiously.
"I don't know either." Yan Dong shook his head.
As the two of them spoke, the runic storm grew stronger. The two of them even felt the rocks in their hands loosening.
Indeed, after a while, they heard a "kacha" and the rocks they were holding on to shattered. At the same time, they were immediately blown away by the runic storm.
Linlong, who was in mid-air, hurriedly used the Iron Striped Steps. However, he was still blown away a few times. When he landed, he quickly grabbed onto a black rock beside him to stabilize himself.
The runic storm was at its strongest at this moment. Following that, it became weaker and weaker. After a while, the sandstorm disappeared.
Linlong hurriedly looked around. He had a vague feeling that he had been separated from Yan Dong and the rest.
Indeed, after looking around, he didn't see Yan Dong and the rest.
It seemed that he had really been separated from them. Linlong thought to himself.
After that, he examined the surrounding terrain. This was a slope, and due to the runic storm, the surrounding trees had all been blown down.
Linlong could clearly see his surroundings from a slightly higher point on the rock.
After Linlong climbed over the slope, he couldn't help but be surprised. This was because the other side of the slope wasn't affected by the runic storm at all. There were lush trees everywhere.
Not long after, Linlong walked around and found that he was trapped on a small hillside. The hillside had a radius of only four miles.
There were faint runic arrays around the slope. He couldn't get out at all.
It seemed like it was just as Yan Dong said. The runic storm had split a few incomplete runic arrays into a few spaces. Then, he accidentally fell into one of the spaces.
However, according to Yan Dong, such spaces were easier to leave. As long as he searched carefully, he would be able to find a way out and meet Yan Dong and the rest again.
Linlong speculated in his mind.
Lin Long immediately began to search seriously.
Other than the trees and himself, there were no ferocious beasts on the hillside, so there was no danger.
However, after walking for a while, he suddenly heard voices coming from his right.
How could there be someone here? Could it be someone who accidentally entered this space? Linlong thought to himself.
With that in mind, he immediately headed towards the source of the voices. Very quickly, he saw three people, all of whom had the strength of the Iron sword rank.
Those who dared to come to the Valley of the Wind were all very strong, so this situation did not surprise Linlong.
Lin Long didn't know these three people.
If he could ask them how they got in, perhaps he would have a chance to get out. With that thought in mind, Linlong immediately revealed himself and walked toward the trio.
"There's someone here!" The three of them exclaimed in surprise when they saw Linlong.
Amidst their shock, a look of joy appeared on their faces.
Walking in front of the trio, Linlong asked, "Senior brothers, were you trapped in this space?"
"We were trapped for half a day before we discovered a spatial fluctuation. Through that spatial fluctuation, we arrived here. Does this mean that we have left the incomplete runic array?" One of them asked.
"No." Linlong shook his head.
"Is that so." Hearing Linlong's words, the three of them couldn't help but reveal looks of disappointment.
"Senior brothers, where did you appear from?" Linlong hurriedly asked.
Normally, the three of them would appear from a spatial fluctuation, so there was a high chance that they could leave.
"It's just behind." One of the three pointed to a place not far behind them and said, "However, after we came out, we didn't discover any spatial fluctuations."
"Yes, there weren't any spatial fluctuations." The other two agreed.
"Is that so?" Linlong couldn't help but furrow his brows. Then, he asked again, "Were you trapped in the outer layer of the Valley of the Wind or the inner layer?"
If they were trapped in the outer layer, then they should still be in the outer layer. If they were trapped in the inner layer, then they should already be in the inner layer.
"We were trapped in the outer layer." One of them said.
The other two nodded in agreement.
Hearing that, Linlong was certain that he was still in the outer layer. As for the encounter with Xiao Bing, she should have walked out from the inner layer and then been trapped in the outer layer.
"Is this space big?" Soon after, one of them asked.
"This place isn't big. It's just a mountain top." Linlong directly said.
"Is that so? Then we should be able to see Lu Bai and Xiao Bing very soon." Another person smiled.
"Oh, other than the three of you, was there anyone else with you?" Linlong couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, there were two people with us just now. After entering the spatial fluctuation, there were only the three of us. I think the two of them went to another place in this space." Another person said.
Just as he finished speaking, a voice sounded from the right.
"It should be Lu Bai and Xiao Bing." The three of them said with joy.
They immediately walked in the direction of the voice. As for Linlong, he followed behind them.
Soon, the four of them saw two people. The moment they saw them, two of the three people said happily, "Lu Bai, Wang Ran, it's really you."
"I thought you guys had gotten separated. Thank goodness," the other two said with a smile.
Linlong's gaze shifted to the two people, but he frowned. He had seen one of them before. It was the one who attacked him with Fang Yue and the others.
Later, he naturally wanted Zhou Yi to lure the other party out. However, Zhou Yi said that he couldn't find the other party. Moreover, the other party only had the strength of a bronze sword rank, so Linlong didn't take it to heart.
Who would have thought that he would meet the other party at this time?
Linlong didn't know this person's name before, but now he knew that it was Wang Ran.
Wang Ran also quickly saw Linlong. Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He pointed at Linlong and said, "Lin Li, what are you doing here?"
"You know each other?" The three people from before asked doubtfully.
"Yes. I went with Senior Brother Fang Yue and Senior Brother Sun Ming to deal with this Lin Li," Wang Ran said immediately.
"In other words, he is the person Fang Yue and Sun Ming wanted to deal with?" The three people from before all looked at Linlong.
Clearly, they were familiar with Fang Yue and Sun Ming, and knew about the previous incident.
"That's right, it's him … Recently, Senior Brother Sun Ming, Senior Brother Fang Yue, and the others suddenly disappeared. I suspect that it has something to do with this kid!" Wang Ran said again.
"Is that so!"
Hearing this, the five of them all focused their gazes on Linlong.
One of the three people from before even said, "Lin Li, although your words let us know where we are, we are still Fang Yue and Sun Ming's friends. So, we can only apologize."
"The two of us can only apologize," the other two also said.
"It's fine." Linlong smiled calmly.
Before he finished speaking, his figure moved, and he directly turned to escape.
These people knew that they were going to deal with him together. He would be a fool to stay.
"Quick, chase after him!" Wang Ran could not help but say anxiously.
As he said this, the five people immediately used their movement skills to chase after Linlong. But what made their faces turn ugly was that they soon lost Linlong.
They could only stop helplessly.
After stopping, Wang Ran could not help but exclaim, "This kid actually knows the Iron Striped Steps!"
He was weak, but the people around him were all Iron Sword rank people, and yet they could not catch up to Linlong. He could naturally see that Linlong already knew the Iron Striped Steps.
Someone also said in surprise, "That's right, he knows the Iron Striped Steps."
"I heard from Fang Yue that this Lin Li just entered the Bronze World not long ago. How can he know the Iron Striped Steps?" Someone else said.
Wang Ran shook his head, and said, "I don't know either. Previously, he only knew the Bronze Striped Steps."
Lu Bai frowned, and said, "If that's the case, how can we catch up to him?"
One of the three people from before said, "Don't be anxious. According to Lin Li, this space is only this mountain top. As long as we carefully search, Lin Li will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of our hands."
"What, this space is only this mountain top?" Both Lu Bai and Wang Ran were surprised again.
"That Lin Li was the first to arrive here, so his words should be correct."
"We will know after searching the surroundings for a while."
Immediately, the few of them began to search the surroundings. Soon, they confirmed that Linlong's words were correct. This space was only this mountain top. In that case, it would be a piece of cake for them to find Lin Long.
"Alright, everyone, let's split up and search. We'll find Lin Li soon!" One of the five said.
"This way, we will be able to find him soon. However, how strong is that Lin Li?" One of them asked.
"Previously, he was at the Bronze Sword rank," Wang Ran said.
"Since he was at the Bronze Sword rank, he should at most be at the Bronze Sword rank now. It is impossible for him to increase his strength in such a short period of time." Someone else said.
"But, he clearly used the Iron Striped Steps just now," someone else said worriedly.
"Being able to use the Iron Striped Steps means that he is only at the Bronze Sword rank. That is because he must have spent all his energy on the Iron Striped Steps. Where would he find the time to master the Runic Iron Sword?" Lu Bai analyzed.
"Yes, Lu Bai is right." Hearing Lu Bai's words, the others nodded in agreement.
After confirming Linlong's strength, they had even less to worry about.
After that, the five of them split up and searched the mountain top for Linlong. Wang Ran, who was the weakest among them, was not with any Iron Sword rank people.
Other than the fact that Linlong was only at the Bronze Sword rank, the other reason was that this place was small. If anything happened, the others would be able to rescue him immediately.
Just like that, the five of them spread out in a single line to search for Linlong.
They did not know that Linlong was watching them from afar.
Seeing them spread out, Linlong was naturally happy. This way, he could take them down one by one.
Soon, two people approached him from the left and right.
The one on the left was Wang Ran, and the other was someone at the Iron Sword rank.
With Linlong's strength, dealing with Wang Ran would be the easiest. However, he did not plan to deal with Wang Ran first. Instead, he turned his attention to the other person at the Iron Sword rank.
The reason for this was that even if he killed Wang Ran, it would not affect the overall situation much. After all, Wang Ran only had the strength of a Copper Sword Rank. If he killed the other person, then the opponent would only have three people with the strength of an Iron Sword Rank.
Because of this, Linlong chose to deal with the person on the right.
What Linlong needed to do now was to kill in one blow. He did not want to give his opponent a chance to react. Otherwise, the others would surround him.
Therefore, he quietly moved forward so that he could hide in his opponent's path and launch a sneak attack.
Soon, Linlong moved in front of his opponent. At this time, he held his breath and used the Dantian Record to its fullest, concealing the aura on his body.
Because of this, the Iron Sword rank person in front of him did not expect to see someone hiding in front of him.
Closer, closer...
When the opponent was close enough, Linlong suddenly flashed out. At the same time, the runic iron sword in his hand immediately attacked the opponent.
At this time, he naturally activated all the energy in his runic iron sword.
The person in front of him was shocked and hurriedly swung his sword to block. His movements were still a bit too slow. Before he could raise his sword to his chest, the sword qi from Linlong's runic iron sword had already slashed across his throat.
"Ah..."
After a blood-curdling scream, he directly fell to the ground, and after struggling for a while, he breathed his last.
Hearing such a scream, the rest of the people hurried over from all directions. Soon, they surrounded the place where the person had been killed.
Linlong had long left, so they could not see him. All they could see was the person on the ground.
Seeing an Iron Sword rank person killed in such a manner, the faces of these people turned ugly.
"How could he kill Brother Song with a single strike?" Wang Ran frowned.
"Yeah, how could he kill Guo Song?" Another person said with a look of disbelief.
The other three did not speak. Instead, they carefully examined the dead Guo Song.
Then, one of them stood up with an ugly expression. "The opponent should have the strength of an Iron Sword rank!"
"No way?" Hearing this, Wang Ran was naturally even more shocked.
Lu Bai also stood up and said, "That's right, the opponent really has the strength of an Iron Sword rank. Otherwise, he could not have killed Guo Song with a single strike."
"But, he clearly has the strength of a Copper Sword rank!" Wang Ran still could not believe it.
"That can only mean that his strength has recently increased," Lu Bai said.
"That's too scary. To be able to master the runic iron sword and Iron Striped Steps in such a short time!"
After confirming this point, all of them exclaimed in astonishment.
