Under the night sky, the Hundred Grass Peak of Mount Xiongnan became lively again. Two long fire dragons ran in two different directions, which was particularly eye-catching in the night.
However, not long after, there was a change in the fire dragon that was chasing in the southwest direction. The head of the fire dragon that was searching for Ling Dong, the leader of the Stone Gang, Ma Yingu, suddenly left the main group and became a spark in the mountain.
Ma Yingu led a large group of people to follow the trail for four hours, but Ma Yingu was depressed to find that the distance between him and his prey, Ling Dong, did not seem to be closing. Instead, it seemed to be getting further and further away.
Ma Yingu and his group originally followed the fresh footprints in the snow. However, the more they chased, the more Ma Yingu found that the footprints were not 'fresh' anymore. Until now, the footprints that they found were covered with a layer of snow that was blown up by the mountain wind. This proved that the distance between them was getting further and further.
His son, Ma Yu, had been lying unconscious in bed for more than 30 days. Ma Yingu had invited a lot of people. Regardless of whether they were experts who cultivated Gang Qi or doctors, after carefully examining his son, Ma Yu's condition, they could only say one thing — there was no way!
However, it was not completely fruitless. Someone had already identified that his son should be under the control of a superior Meridian Severing Technique. Other than finding a Heaven Realm expert to forcefully open his meridians, he could only be rescued by helpers.
Ma Yingu had looked for Ling Dong, or rather, Ling Yuanshan, many times and offered generous conditions. Even if it was a huge sum of 500,000 taels of silver, Ma Yingu was willing to pay. However, he did not see Ling Dong at all.
By chance, he received news that Ling Dong had suddenly entered the mountain. Ma Yingu, who had not found a chance, became bold and was prepared to capture Ling Dong alive to save his son. As long as he caught him, Ma Yingu did not believe that there was a mouth that he could not pry open.
The most important thing was that his son, Ma Yu, was dying. He did not eat or drink for more than 30 days. He could only rely on a little ginseng soup to survive. In order to pry open his tightly clenched teeth, one of his front teeth was knocked out!
It was obvious that Ma Yingu was eager to save his son and capture Ling Dong alive!
Therefore, in a moment of panic, Ma Yingu complained that the gang members behind him were too slow. After all, the cultivation levels of the gang members were around Xiantian Realm Level One or Two. How could their speed be compared to a Xiantian Realm Level Seven expert like him?
Ma Yinggu was afraid that he would lose Ling Dong, so he used his Body Movement at full speed. He left his men behind and quickly followed the footprints. Ma Yinggu believed that even without his followers, he could still capture Ling Dong alive. Even though Ling Dong's performance in the past few days was very outstanding, that was because he was confident in his own strength.
.....
Ling Dong stood on the peak of a mountain stream. The innate energy in his body was carefully circulating around his eyes. As the divine light in his eyes grew brighter, the scene in the distance became clearer. Ling Dong had learned many ways to use the innate energy in his body to enhance his eyesight, hearing, and even smell in his previous life. He was even very proficient in these little tricks!
A few miles away from the faint fire dragon, a faint flame was chasing Ling Dong rapidly. If Ling Dong was not wrong, then it should be the mastermind behind the scenes, Ma Yingu, who had been chasing him for so many days.
Only Ma Yingu, who was worried about his son's life, would ignore his own safety and even the possibility of a trap in his future to chase after him at full speed.
"As long as you leave the main group, that will be my chance! I will set up a beacon for you! " Ling Dong murmured. He took out a torch from his Universe Ring, lit it, and stuck it in the ground beside him. Ling Dong sat cross-legged on the ground and used the Big Dipper Technique to quickly recover his physical strength. The energy in his body was replenished by the Energy Recovery Pill, but more than half of it was still consumed.
These few days, he had been fighting and chasing non-stop. To put it bluntly, he had been running away. Every day, he repeated the process of using Energy Recovery Pills to replenish his energy. If he really could not do it, he would meditate to recover. This kind of intense consumption made Ling Dong feel that his meridians were rapidly becoming stronger. Every time he swallowed an Energy Recovery Pill, he would absorb the turbulent Gang Qi, which would expand his meridians a little. Ling Dong felt that he was not far from Houtian Realm Level Nine.
What he lacked was a suitable opportunity. As long as he reached Houtian Realm Level Nine, he would be one step closer to unleashing the true power of the Big Dipper Technique.
Of course, this opportunity was not now. Ling Dong was playing a big game of chess tonight. Now, he was preparing for the battle that would happen in a few hours. Although Ling Dong had sufficient Energy Recovery Pills, they were not omnipotent. After continuously consuming a certain amount of Energy Recovery Pills in a short period of time, the effect of the recovery would become worse and worse.
The torch that Ling Dong stuck on the cliff between the mountains was like a guiding light. It allowed Ma Yingu, who had left the main group to chase at full speed, to quickly approach this place.
With Ma Yingu's speed, it took him more than an hour to cover the distance of a few miles. Don't underestimate the distance of a few miles in the mountains. It could be more than ten miles or even dozens of miles.
Below the cliff that Ling Dong was on was a mountain stream. Even though it was winter, the rapid flow of water did not freeze. The mountain stream was only thirty to forty meters wide. On the opposite side of the cliff that Ling Dong was on, there was another dangerous peak that was separated by the stream.
When Ma Yingu followed the footsteps to the front of the torch that was like a guiding light, he saw Ling Dong sitting cross-legged on the cliff. He was overjoyed! However, when he saw that Ling Dong was sitting on the cliff that was separated by the stream from the one that he was standing on, his face turned ugly.
What was so close yet worlds apart? This was so close yet worlds apart!
It was only a distance of thirty to forty meters. Normally, it would be a distance of three jumps. However, with this mountain stream separating them, the distance became infinitely far. He needed to climb down the cliff first, then cross the mountain stream. There was no need to climb the opposite cliff. By the time he got there, Ling Dong would have already disappeared.
He carefully looked at the footprints again. Not far away, there were traces left by someone who had climbed down the cliff. Seeing this, Ma Yingu's face changed. The traces showed that he was deliberately led here by Ling Dong.
"Ling Dong, surrender. You can't escape! Don't worry. I, Ma Yingu, will not do anything to you. I just want you to save my son! " Ma Yingu stared at Ling Dong, who was motionless on the opposite cliff, with a complicated expression. At this moment, Ma Yingu suddenly felt a trace of fear. The young man opposite him was frighteningly calm. Was this still the third son of the Ling family, who was known as the number one playboy in Nanshan Commandery?
"I can't escape. You have to catch me!" After waking up from his meditation, Ling Dong slowly opened his eyes. "How is it, Leader Ma? Have you thought about what I asked you to think?"
"What is it? I don't understand!" Ma Yingu shouted. His eyes kept looking around the mountain stream. He wanted to find something to borrow strength from. If there were vines, perhaps he could capture Ling Yun in one fell swoop.
As far as his eyes could see, there were a few yellow vines that had been cut off. Seeing this, Ma Yingu's heart trembled again. Wasn't the young man in front of him too terrifying? She had even predicted his impromptu idea?
"What is it? It's what you did to the Ling family! If you think it through, I can save your son! "Ling Dong said loudly in the whistling mountain wind.
"Sorry to the Ling family? I have already explained to your father and offered him an apology. What else do you want me to do? Ling Dong, don't push me too far! " Ma Yingu shouted angrily. He looked back at the fire dragon behind him with disappointment in his eyes. If those guys arrived, he might have a chance.
"Push me too far? Hmph! You are dishonest. Do you think I don't know? You still want to save your son? "With a sneer, Ling Dong turned around and left.
What did he know? A terrible guess flashed through Ma Yingu's mind. Then he shouted, "Ling Dong, don't go. We can talk. As long as you can save my son, I will agree to anything!"
Agree to anything? Who would believe you!
Ling Dong, who was on the cliff, revealed a strange smile. "If you want to save your son, then come after me!" After that, Ling Dong lowered his body and quickly walked down the cliff. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Ma Yingu's sight.
"Little bastard!" Ma Yingu squeezed out these words from between his teeth. He glanced at the fire dragon that was still far away. He gritted his teeth and climbed down the cliff. He could afford to wait, but his son couldn't.
Ma Yu had not eaten or drunk anything for more than 30 days. Even though he had ginseng soup to keep him alive, he was already skinny.
Ma Yingu even knew that Ling Dong was luring him. Perhaps Ling Dong would set up a trap or ambush somewhere. However, Ma Yingu was not afraid at all. Those little tricks were nothing in the face of absolute strength.
Ling Dong quickly went down the cliff and ran towards another peak. When running in the forest, it was important to maintain physical strength to deal with unexpected situations.
Ma Yingu's guess was right. Ling Dong needed to find a suitable place to set up an ambush. This was Ling Dong's plan. Ling Dong wanted to use his rich experience in the forest to increase the distance between them and consume Ma Yingu's Gang Qi. However, this was not the most important thing.
The most important thing was that Ling Dong wanted to wear down Ma Yingu's patience by tracking him for a long time. He wanted to make Ma Yingu anxious. Once a person loses patience, it is easy to make mistakes …
This kind of tracking continued until daybreak. Before the Fire Dragon's Breath in the mountains extinguished, they had already pulled far away from the Ma Yin Valley. After traveling for a night, Ling Dong also felt tired and began to look for a suitable place to ambush.
In the dark, one had to face unknown dangers. Therefore, one's alertness was very high. Once the sun rose, one would feel that the surroundings were clear. It would be much safer, but one's alertness would decrease. This was the reason why Ling Dong chose to set up an ambush at dawn.
With a nimble somersault, Ling Dong crossed over a low-lying patch of thorny ground. As he was rolling forward, Ling Dong suddenly saw a patch of red at the corner of his eyes. His eyebrows twitched, and his rolling momentum came to an abrupt halt!
