Chapter 191: Flee for Life

　　Heng Yuan looked scornfully at the few despairing people and sneered, “A precious item such as this Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon is not something that people like you can enjoy. The Sect Leader of the Constellation Sect, Lord Constellation, will celebrate his 200th birthday in a month, and Lord Xu is worried that he cannot find anything good as a gift. Now, the demon core of this purple flood dragon is just nice to give to the old senior and let him nourish his body.”

　　Ma Wendi’s face was grave as he said angrily, “If you want the purple flood dragon, take it! Why do you still want to kill us?!”

　　Heng Yuan’s face flashed with a hint of killing intent, and he said in a cold voice, “It is to avoid trouble. You all are Martial Grandmasters, and you are considered famous figures in Qinghai. Lord Xu Feng doesn’t want any trouble.”

　　His eyes flickered with killing intent as he said, “Li Yuanyu, I’ll leave this place to you. Settle them as soon as possible! There are two more ants over there that have slipped through the net. I’m going to clean them up.” As soon as he had finished speaking, he was already a hundred meters away, speeding toward Yunxiao’s chariot.

　　Li Yuanyu pulled out a strange weapon and sneered, “Let’s do it!”

　　In the blink of an eye, several light beams burst out over the sea and fought together.

　　Yunxiao’s eyes gleamed, and he said with a wry smile, “We’re really finished this time. I can’t believe there was a peak Martial Grandmaster hiding nearby.”

　　He quickly sent out a few incantation seals. With its speed rising up to the maximum, the Tigerking chariot turned into a light beam and fled toward the horizon.

　　Duan Yue’s face was tense and terribly dark. He was a seven-stars Martial Grandmaster, and he naturally knew that a star was a world by itself within the Six Directions realm. Although the difference between them was only of two stars, it was a gap that could not be bridged. If the man wanted to kill him, it was extremely easy, let alone right now when his injury had not yet healed.

　　What puzzled him the most was that Yunxiao clearly knew that they were about to be killed as well, but the latter’s face did not even show the slightest look of panic or fear. It was then that he was truly convinced and thoroughly admired this young man. What kind of steadfastness and cultivation base did it take to make a person keep his composure in the face of death?

　　Although the Tigerking chariot was fast, it was nothing to a nine-stars Martial Grandmaster. Heng Yuan’s speed over the sea might not be as fast as the Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon’s, but it was more than enough for him to catch up with a Tigerking chariot. Very quickly, he had reduced the distance between them to less than a mile, and it was only a flash before he caught up with them.

　　“Pay close attention!” Yunxiao suddenly said, “If you build up your power and attack with full force, how sure are you that you can hurt him?”

　　Duan Yue frowned as he thought for a moment and said, “If I can land a blow right on his body, although it may not kill him, it should be able to at least seriously injure him. But, how could he stand there and let me hit him?”

　　“That’s enough!” Yunxiao’s eyes gleamed as he said, “Later, when he is about ten meters from the chariot, I’ll stop his movements for a brief moment. That’s when you will attack. You can start building up your power when he is about a hundred meters away from us.”

　　“What!” Duan Yue was taken aback, and then he said in horror, “He is a peak Martial Grandmaster, but you can stop his movements for a brief moment? Are you serious!” A huge wave surged in his heart. He could not believe that no matter what, but there was no time for him to think further at the moment, because Heng Yuan was already less than a hundred meters from them.

　　Clang!

　　A halberd appeared in Duan Yue’s hand and he said lightly, “Unseal!”

　　Waves of ancient aura spread out of the halberd as it tripled in size instantly, hovering in front of Duan Yue. Quietly, he closed his eyes and grabbed its shaft with one hand, sensing the wind blowing around him and the waves churning across the sea. He was going to borrow the power from the Law of the World.

　　When warriors cultivated to a certain realm, they could comprehend the Law of the World and communicate with the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind that constructed the world, so as to achieve the effect of borrowing the power of the heaven and earth. That was what Yunxiao had done at Jialan Academy when he attacked with the Floating Life Seal.

　　Under the waves of combat intent unleashed from the halberd, the chariot began to sway, as if it could feel the fear.

　　“Hmph! How can candlelight compete with the sun and the moon! Duan Yue, for the sake of your uncommon strength, I will spare you from death as long as you are willing to join the Constellation Sect!”

　　As Heng Yuan approached, he also sensed the great power, and he was shocked. A full-force attack unleashed by a seven-stars Martial Grandmaster after building up power was so strong that even he dared not to fight it head-on. Therefore, he provoked with words, trying to ruin Duan Yue’s effort of building up power so that he could defeat the latter easily.

　　“Even if you don’t consider for yourself, this young man should be your illegitimate son, right? At least think of his life. As a father, don’t you want to protect the life of your own son?”

　　“Ten meters! Protect my ass! Send my greetings to all the females in your family! Universal Soul Suppressor, Forbidden Expansion!” Yunxiao cried out, and in that instant, a beam of invisible light exploded out of his eyes, piercing through the air. As if tangible, his divine sense spread out in rings like the ripples moving across the surface of the water when someone threw a stone at it. Under the divine light beam, the whole void began to twist and distort slightly.

　　Heng Yuan was startled, and he felt his head abuzz. Suddenly, a pair of blood-red evil eyes emerged in the sky, staring at him.

　　He was terrified instantly. It was actually an illusion!

　　‘Who is this lad? I can’t believe he can confuse me with an illusion!’

　　He could not remember how he had never been confused by illusions for so mant tears, and hence he had always disdained them. “A trifling trick! Do you think you can stop me, a nine-stars Martial Grandmaster, with a mere illusion? Heaven and earth are infinite, Thunderous Saint Palm! Break! Break! Break!”

　　Heng Yuan uttered three ‘Break!’ in a row and frantically threw out several palm strikes. In the blink of an eye, the distorted sky returned to normal and the pair of evil eyes vanished completely. The whole sky and the sea was once again clear and calm.

　　But…

　　The sky, which had just returned to normal, began to twist once again, but it was caused by a tremendous force this time. Moreover, it seemed that the void was pressing down from all directions simultaneously as well. In the center of the storm, a huge halberd exuded a monstrous combat intent and thrust down with waves of white flame that seemed to come from nowhere.

　　“Whiteflame Ghost Kill, the sixth-tier halberd!”

　　It was Duan Yue, a seven-stars Martial Grandmaster’s full-force attack!

　　At the moment the illusion was destroyed, Yunxiao spewed out a mouthful of blood, and his mind was instantly shaken, allowing the backlash of divine sense to rush into his head, which made him cough out a few mouthfuls of blood again. Only then did he fall to the ground with an extremely pale face.

　　With his soul power, being able to stop a nine-stars Martial Grandmaster for a brief moment was already an extremely lucky achievement. He was not sure he could do it beforehand, but fortunately, Heng Yuan did not put on guard. So, he was able to drag the other into illusion for a brief moment with a quick, fierce, and accurate strike. But, he himself was greatly wounded as well.

　　“Duan Yue! I’ll definitely cut you into a thousand pieces!”

　　Heng Yuan was instantly drowned by the attack, and a colossal water pillar was attracted from the sea down below by the tremendous force, which filled the whole sky with water vapor.

　　Heng Yuan was knocked directly into the sea by the waves that rushed up. He felt his insides almost breaking apart, and his fleshly body was messily wounded. He hurriedly took out a medicinal pill and gulped it down, his eyes filled with reluctance and hatred. Although he was badly injured and thrown into the sea, his divine sense had been following the two people. At that moment, their Tigerking chariot had flown dozens of miles away. Gnashing his teeth, he dragged his wounded body and sped up once again in pursuit.

　　Heng Yuan dared to confirm that the power of Duan Yue’s attack was comparable to that of an eight-stars Martial Grandmaster, and he must be extremely weak now. Although his energy was hurt, as long as he caught up with them, he could certainly kill the two ants with his own hands! Besides, what he had just taken was a sixth-tier healing elixir which he had kept as a precious treasure for a very long time, so the injury in his body was instantly stabilized.

　　It had taken him a huge cost to obtain the elixir. Now that he thought about it, he regretted it very much. He should have kept it and only used it in the future. Just now, he was so seriously wounded that he did not think twice before he took it.

　　After chasing for a while, his expression changed drastically. The two people, whom he had constantly followed with his divine sense, suddenly disappeared in front of him! The disappearance was not that they had gone out of the boundary of his divine sense, but they suddenly vanished into nothingness.

　　“What is going on?” Heng Yuan was taken aback. Anxious and doubtful, he murmured to himself, “Could it be that they broke through the void and escaped? F*ck! How’s that possible? Could it be an illusion again?”

　　He took a deep breath and increased his speed as he rushed over. Very soon, he entered a sea area blanketed by a layer of fog that veiled all eyes. Even his divine sense could only reach a very limited range inside it.

　　“This is?” Heng Yuan carefully touched the fog with a hand and felt a slightly strange sensation. He sneered, “Even if you flee to the end of the world, you will still have to die!”

　　He flew into the fog and began searching with his divine sense within the limited range. Gradually, he felt something amiss. The fog seemed endless and by no means normal. He had been in Qinghai for many years, and he knew about the sea ten thousand miles from the coast very well. But, he never knew that there was such a strange fog here.

　　Finally, about ten minutes later, bits of pink dust began to appear mixed with the fog. Only then did his expression change drastically, and he blurted out in horror, “A rainbow fog!”

　　He was truly frightened now. Although a rainbow fog was magical, he had experienced it before and knew the situation inside. In his desperation, he hurriedly pulled back his divine sense and spread it out around him, forming a layer of soul power barrier that repelled the pink dust from him.

　　At the same moment, Yunxiao and Duan Yue were also suffering. The two of them fled desperately and intruded their original destination by accident, the rainbow fog. The situation would be better if Yunxiao were not wounded. By relying on his divine sense, although it was not extremely easy to create a path in the fog, it was not extremely difficult either. But now, his soul power was exhausted, and he felt as if he were sucked dry as he lay feebly on the ground.

　　Now, it was the soul power barrier Duan Yue managed to put out that stopped the pink dust from coming inside. If he were alone, he could still protect himself even if he could not create a path in the fog. But now, he had to take care of Yunxiao too, which was rather straining for him.

　　“Haha! Little bast*rd, you have always looked so lofty, but look at you now! Let’s see how you are going to act so arrogantly again!” Duan Yue suddenly burst out laughing. Even though he was struggling, he felt happy when he saw Yunxiao’s miserable look.

　　After unleashing the attack with all his energy, he was completely out of strength, but his divine sense was not damaged. Out of the two of them, one’s soul power was depleted and the other’s energy. Both of them lay feebly on the chariot, letting the vehicle drift further into the fog by itself.
