Lu Xiaotian was infuriated by the fact that these two dogskin plasters were chasing after him. He ran for more than ten kilometers on the mountain road, avoiding other small adventurer teams along the way. He almost ran into a second rank demonic snake, which gave him a fright. Otherwise, with a demonic beast in front of him and pursuers behind him, he would've died without a burial ground.
"That damned Fan Qing. The next time I see him, I'll definitely teach him a lesson." As they ran, Lu Xiaotian hated Fan Qing to death. If this guy hadn't run away, they might've been able to fight. However, it was Fan Qing who taught Lu Xiaotian another lesson. After experiencing the black-robed old man's possession, he understood the cruelty of the cultivation world and became more vigilant against other cultivators. However, he thought that by secretly guarding against Hunchback He, he would be able to resolve the danger of the small team. With their small team's strength, they were able to contend against other small teams.
However, Lu Xiaotian did not expect that Fan Qing, who was quite capable, would run away at the last moment when they were about to set off. Perhaps Fan Qing's strength was severely damaged and he felt that he had no chance of winning. Or perhaps Fan Qing had already obtained the item he needed for the sect's mission and didn't need to fight to the death with them.
"A person's heart can change, so Fan Qing ran away. In the cultivation world, the only thing that doesn't change and can always be relied on is one's own strength. "Lu Xiaotian thought to himself. Once he passed this hurdle, he would have to be more careful in the future.
However, the hurdle in front of him wasn't so easy to pass. Altogether, he had only cultivated for three or four years, and the time he had spent learning magic techniques was even shorter. The large eccentric and embroidered clothed large man chasing after him had cultivated for close to twenty years. They were vicious and merciless, and they were rogue cultivators who had taken at least a few lives. Their proficiency in magic techniques wasn't something that Lu Xiaotian, a newcomer to the cultivation world, could compare to.
Even if he used the same "Imperial Wind Technique" and "Light Body Technique", the distance between the two sides was still constantly shrinking. If he hadn't brought a few spirit talismans with him, he would've been caught by the two people behind him. Seeing that the distance between them was getting closer and closer, Lu Xiaotian stuck another "Spirit Travel Talisman" on his body. His speed suddenly increased by a notch.
"Stinking brat, you won't be able to escape. Obediently hand over the spiritual items in your storage pouch and Grandpa Zou will spare your life!"
Zou Xin was furious as he chased after them. His cultivation base was slightly weaker than the large freak's, and his mana was not as profound as the large freak's. He could only continuously take out spirit stones from his storage pouch to replenish his vitality, so as to avoid any unexpected problems that might arise due to excessive consumption of vitality in the upcoming battle. Zou Xin didn't get any benefits, and instead used up a few spirit stones. Naturally, Zou Xin felt heartache.
The freak with a large body sneered, "Fellow Daoist Zou, you don't have to worry. This man is very meticulous, and he even has so many talismans that are specially used to escape. It can be seen that this man is indeed rich. As long as we can take him down, we can easily make up for the loss of Spirit Stones."
"That's true. Let's see where he can run when he runs out of Divine Travel Talismans and Gale Talismans. Once I catch this guy, I'll definitely pull out his tendons and skin him alive. Only then will I be able to vent the hatred in my heart. "Zou Xin gnashed his teeth as he spoke.
Sounds of fighting could be heard in front of him. Lu Xiaotian was being chased to the point where he had nowhere to run. Yet, there were still sounds of fighting coming from the front. When he got closer, he saw Wang Ping, who was wielding a black iron staff, and another fourth layer qi refining cultivator, who was wielding a spirit spear. They were locked in a fierce battle.
"Lu Daoyou, help me!"
Wang Ping's cultivation base was lower than his opponent's, and he still hadn't recovered his vitality after the fierce battle with the silver-winged centipede. At this moment, he was being suppressed by his opponent. When he suddenly saw Lu Xiaotian rushing over, he hastily shouted in surprise. However, when he saw the large freak chasing after Lu Xiaotian, as well as the large man in embroidered clothes, Zou Xin, Wang Ping immediately shut his mouth and complained incessantly in his heart. He originally thought that a savior had arrived, but who would've thought that a savior would turn out to be a disaster in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, he couldn't even protect himself, so how could he have the time to care about Wang Ping? Too lazy to pay attention to this fellow who was also running away, Lu Xiaotian lowered his head and continued to run.
"Ah!" Wang Ping screamed. Just now, when he saw Lu Xiaotian and the large freak, he was distracted for a moment and was slashed in the chest. Blood spurted out, and his flesh was split open, revealing the eerie white bone inside.
"Die!" The large man with the saber was overjoyed as he pressed forward. Wang Ping raised his black iron staff and resisted with all his might several times, but due to his heavy injuries, he was unable to continue fighting and his staff was split open.
The large man with the saber took the opportunity to cut off Wang Ping's head with a sinister smile. The bloody head rolled a few times on the ground.
"Good job, quickly help me stop this brat." Zou Xin was overjoyed. He had been chasing for a long time. Now that he had an extra helper, even if he had to share some of the benefits, it would be more acceptable than this kind of boring chase.
"Alright!" The large man with the saber picked up Wang Ping's storage bag and rushed towards Lu Xiaotian from the front left.
Lu Xiaotian coldly snorted and threw out a few Gauze Smoke Fruits. Several puffs of black smoke rose. Taking advantage of the fact that his line of sight was blocked by several people, he stuck an "Earth Escape Talisman" on his body and drilled into the ground.
"How did he disappear?" Zou Xin said with an unsightly expression.
"It's just an Earth Escape Talisman, he can't have run far. Search around, "the large freak said with a calm face.
The three of them immediately spread out to search. Soon, the large freak found Lu Xiaotian's tracks.
Lu Xiaotian glanced behind him. The appearance of the large man with the saber made him change his plan of blindly running away. He was not familiar with the surrounding mountain roads and might encounter a similar situation later. Now, he was relying on the Earth Escape Talisman to temporarily escape, but the talismans would run out sooner or later. He had to find a suitable place to deal with this damned large freak and the large man in embroidered clothes. Of course, the premise was that he had to get rid of the large man with the lowest cultivation base. One against two, he still needed to plan properly. One against three, he would only die. He did not want to die.
Replacing the spirit stone in his hand that had already run out of spiritual energy, Lu Xiaotian sprinted again, using several Earth Escape Talismans and Wood Escape Talismans in succession. He managed to get rid of the large man with the weaker cultivation base. Only the other two barely managed to catch up.
After running for another twenty li, Lu Xiaotian drilled into a small forest. Birds flew up behind him. Needless to say, the large freak was chasing after him.
Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed with a fierce light. These two people were relentlessly pursuing him, forcing him to fight back with all his might.
Lu Xiaotian's eyes swept around and stopped at a relatively flat grassland. He took out several formation flags from his storage bag and placed them in the surroundings.
Feeling the other's aura approaching, Lu Xiaotian stuck another "Wood Escape Talisman" on his body and attached himself to a nearby tree trunk that was as thick as two people.
Whether it was the "Earth Escape Talisman", "Wood Escape Talisman", or "Water Escape Talisman", if one stayed still, the consumption of spiritual energy was relatively small and the time they could last was also relatively long. Once they moved, they could not last for long. Moreover, this kind of elementary talisman could not completely conceal a person's aura. Therefore, after the large freak and Zou Xin entered the small forest, they sensed that something was wrong.
"What's going on? That guy isn't running anymore? "Zou Xin whispered as he looked around with his eyes.
"Yes, I can sense that he's nearby. Perhaps he's running out of talismans and knows that we'll catch up to him sooner or later, so he wants to use this forest to hide. He's most likely using talismans. However, the talismans' spiritual energy won't last for long. I'd like to see what kind of tricks he's playing. " The large freak was confident. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "When we find this guy, it'll be his death."
"That's right. I've chased him for so long. Let's see how he'll die later." Zou Xin laughed sinisterly. The two, one in front and one behind, carefully searched for Lu Xiaotian's possible hiding place. Soon, they arrived at a flat grassland not far from Lu Xiaotian based on the aura leaked out from the talismans.
Lu Xiaotian secretly sized up the two people who were constantly approaching. The embroidered clothed man walked in front, while the large freak followed behind. This was somewhat different from what he had planned. Originally, Lu Xiaotian had planned to use the Fortifying Elemental Formation to trap the large freak. However, the spiritual energy of the "Wood Escape Talisman" could not be maintained for long, so he couldn't care less. Seeing the embroidered clothed man enter the range of several array flags.
Lu Xiaotian muttered in a low voice, "Fortifying Elemental Formation, rise!"
Buzz! The array flags that were originally hidden underground suddenly emerged from the ground. The small flags moved without any wind, making a sound. Four array flags were positioned in four directions. The tip of the array flags' flagpoles flashed red, yellow, blue, and green respectively.
"Not good, there's an ambush!" The large freak and Zou Xin exclaimed at the same time. The large freak's body shot backwards, and he flew several zhang away. He did not encounter any obstacles, so he felt slightly relieved. However, Zou Xin slammed into a cyan-coloured light barrier. The intense collision caused Zou Xin to cry out in pain. At that moment, four light barriers descended and spun around the four array flags, forming a mixed four-coloured light barrier, trapping Zou Xin within a radius of two to three zhang.
"You want to trap me with this little trick? Dream on! "
First, he was tricked by his prey, falling into his opponent's trap, and then he was beaten black and blue. Zou Xin was burning with anger. He took out a mace from his storage bag, then patted his spirit beast bag, and the giant black ape appeared again. He wanted to use the fastest speed to break this light barrier, then kill his way out and smash the guy who tricked him flat with his mace!
Zou Xin waved his mace and smashed it on the light barrier.
Bang! The mace hit the light barrier as if it hit an iron wall, and the mace bounced back.
Both of Zou Xin's hands were numb from the impact, and his expression changed. He had already used 50% of his strength just now, but the light barrier did not budge at all.
Zou Xin did not believe it, so he increased his strength and waved his mace twice. The black ape also waved its large fan-like hand and slapped it. When it couldn't slap it away, it used its body to smash it. After trying one by one, the man and the beast panted in exhaustion, but the Fortifying Element Formation still did not budge.
Lu Xiaotian sneered. The Fortifying Element Formation could trap a qi refinement stage cultivator, and the large man in embroidered clothes was only at the sixth layer of qi refinement. Although there was an additional black ape, it was still not a problem.
The large freak was completely on guard, so it was impossible to sneak attack him. Secretly stuffing a pill into his mouth, Lu Xiaotian walked out from the tree he was hiding in.
"I was wondering how you had the guts, so you still had a formation in your hands. However, you've already used up your formation. If you don't have any other methods, I think you can go die. "
The large freak laughed coldly. A fifth layer qi refinement stage cultivator, even if he was a pill refinement master, had used up so many talismans. He had plotted against Hunchback He, and now he was using a formation to trap Zou Xin. He did not believe that Lu Xiaotian would be his match in a fair fight. Even if the other party was a pill refinement master, other than having a bit of wealth, he would not have much of an effect in a fight of magical powers. He had led a small team to kill dozens of cultivators and looted their storage pouches. In terms of wealth, he was not weak either. That Array Formation was actually able to easily trap Zou Xin, a powerful person. Once he killed Lu Xiaotian, the Array Formation would be his.
Thinking of this, the large freak's face was filled with greed. He pressed his hand to his waist and pulled out a black meteor hairpin. At the same time, a large group of shadow ants flew out.
"You want to stop me with these low level shadow ants? Dream on!" Lu Xiaotian's face was full of disdain. He took out a Vajra Talisman to protect himself. Wielding his spiritual sword, he madly charged towards the large freak.
"I'll let you know how powerful I am in a moment!"
The large freak sneered. This brat was only relying on the Vajra Barrier. Perhaps he still had other protective talismans. Once these talismans were used, he would lose his barrier. Let's see if this brat could still block his ant swarm. If not for the fact that his cultivation level was affected and his divine sense was insufficient, he would only be able to command seven teams of shadow ants. If there were three or four more teams, the large freak was confident that he could fight even a late stage qi refinement stage cultivator. Sixty to seventy shadow ants were enough to deal with Lu Xiaotian, whose cultivation level was one layer lower than his.
Under the lead of the seven head ants, the shadow ants split into seven small teams and surrounded Lu Xiaotian from different directions.
Lu Xiaotian threw out Wind Blade Technique, Fireball Technique, Ice Arrow Technique, and more than ten other spells. A few of them were blocked by the head ants. The head ants' defense was obviously stronger than ordinary shadow ants. Although they were hit by elementary spells and swayed in the air as if they were drunk, they weren't fatal.
At this moment, the large freak snorted and called in another team of shadow ants to replace the injured head ant's team. This way, they could maintain the intensity of their attacks on Lu Xiaotian.
Soon, a small team of shadow ants crawled onto the Vajra Barrier during the gap between Lu Xiaotian's attacks and started to bite the barrier.
Lu Xiaotian's expression changed slightly. He used the Whirlwind Technique to sweep away a few of them. But immediately, another team of shadow ants flew over from another direction and joined the army gnawing on the Vajra Barrier.
"Frost Technique!"
"Fire Arrow Technique!"
After a layer of frost, more than ten fire arrows shot out. Four or five shadow ants fell to the ground, emitting a burnt smell.
"It's useless. As long as you can't kill all the shadow ants, I can exhaust you to death." The large freak cackled. At least three or four people had been exhausted to death by him. He was very familiar with the same method.
"Impossible. I can definitely kill all these damned insects." The Vajra Barrier started to shake under the bites of the shadow ants. Then, it shattered like glass. Lu Xiaotian hurriedly took out another Vajra Talisman to protect himself. Then, he repeatedly killed the shadow ants.
However, the large freak protected the head ants very well. Once one of the head ants was injured, another would immediately fill in the gap. After the shadow ants died, the large freak only laughed. He patted the gourd at his waist and a few more shadow ants flew out.
Although Lu Xiaotian had killed nearly thirty of them, with the large freak's replenishment, the number of ants besieging Lu Xiaotian didn't decrease.
