Chapter 1669 - 1652: Fleeing for Their Lives
"You two don’t need to be afraid; I will guide you now."
Lin Feng had been observing with his Divine Sense for some time and had secretly figured out the opponent’s combat pattern. Initially, he hadn’t intervened, wanting to give Xia Yan and Song Hong an opportunity to train. However, he realized he couldn’t keep out of it any longer. If he didn’t step in now, the two might actually be in danger.
Suddenly hearing Lin Feng’s voice in their minds, Xia Yan and Song Hong immediately perked up. With Lin Feng directing them, what was there to fear? Lin Feng would certainly guide them to handle this guy! With that thought, they weren’t as tense in the battle as before.
"Old man Xia, attack this guy from the front. Elder Song, attack him from the side. Find an opportunity, Old man Xia, feign a mistake to lure the enemy, while Elder Song, you act as if you’re saving him. Then both of you immediately retreat, yes, retreat. When the opponent underestimates you, you two shall explode in power and secretly take him down. I will tell you where his weakness lies."
Lin Feng didn’t waste time and immediately started organizing the strategy for the next battle phase. In fact, Lin Feng believed that Xia Yan and Song Hong could handle the guy on their own. They were just nervous; eliminating this tension with his guidance would make taking down the opponent no issue at all.
Following Lin Feng’s instructions, Xia Yan and Song Hong immediately began executing the plan he described. The situation on their side changed instantly. Originally at a disadvantage, they suddenly erupted, causing headaches for the opponent, a Human Immortal Realm Middle Stage expert. Despite his superior strength, he couldn’t do anything about them and was frustrated by how they constantly found his flaws, making it hard for him to respond.
"Boom!"
"Elder Yan, let’s deal with him!"
"Hmm, don’t give him a chance, let him feel our power!"
"You want to deal with me, dream on! Watch as I kill you two first!"
...
The battle there suddenly escalated, becoming more intense. Xia Yan and Song Hong, under Lin Feng’s hints, kept saying things that would make others spit blood. This almost drove the Human Immortal Realm Middle Stage expert crazy. He never expected such opponents. The angrier he got, the worse the situation became. In the blink of an eye, his situation plummeted, and he began getting hammered by Xia Yan and Song Hong, and it looked like he couldn’t hold on for much longer...
How could this be happening?
Xiao Hairong also noticed the situation here, and his heart jumped. He never expected such a turnaround. He wondered what was happening, how the battle could have changed so much. Just as he thought of this, something that almost made him spit blood occurred.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, two Great Demon Immortals unexpectedly combined their efforts, ignoring all attacks, and in an instant tore a Human Immortal Realm Middle Stage expert apart. This attack came so suddenly that no one else had a chance to react. No one expected such a situation to occur.
However, before this wave subsided, another wave rose. During everyone’s moment of surprise, the Human Immortal Realm Middle Stage expert fighting the two ancestors was also killed by Xia Yan. The speed was astonishing, and in the blink of an eye, only four out of six people were left.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Hairong dared not stay any longer and immediately shouted, "Go!"
Xiao Hairong was well aware that if six people couldn’t take down the opponent, with only four left, it was even less likely they’d succeed. Continuing to fight was meaningless and would be nothing more than a death sentence. He didn’t want everyone to die here. Moreover, his main purpose in coming to Earth was not to kill but to set up a formation to aid in opening a Space Passage. The formation wasn’t even complete, and he had already lost two people. To conserve strength, leaving was the only option.
After saying this, he stopped caring and chose a direction to escape, with the other three following Xiao Hairong to flee for their lives without hesitation. Their speed was so fast that they disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The two Great Demon Immortals regained their senses and immediately began the pursuit under Lin Feng’s guidance. With Lin Feng acting as a living radar, no matter how Xiao Hairong and his companions tried to run, they couldn’t escape. But they were already scared out of their wits and had no courage to confront the two Great Demon Immortals.
The two Great Demon Immortals chased after Xiao Hairong and the others, while Xia Yan and Song Hong didn’t pursue. Under Lin Feng’s instruction, they began to destroy the half-completed formation. Lin Feng even guided them on how to seal the unstable point of the Bead Space, preventing other Immortal Realm individuals from entering Earth through this point.
In the blink of an hour, Xia Yan and Song Hong had completely destroyed the formation and sealed the unstable spatial point as directed by Lin Feng. After completing these tasks, Lin Feng’s voice came to their minds once again.
"You two still lack enough strength. Alright, I’ll teach you a spell to aid in cultivation, which will help you improve your strength more rapidly. Here’s how it works..."
From this incident, Lin Feng realized that the two ancestors were still significantly behind the people from the Immortal Realm. Although they were fine against those of the same level, there were too many Human Immortal Realm Middle Stage experts from the Immortal Realm. If the two ancestors didn’t enhance their strength, they might face danger in future battles.
This is why Lin Feng imparted an auxiliary cultivation spell to them. This spell he obtained from the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins, and it was of no use to him. It was most appropriate to help the two ancestors improve their strength now.
Receiving Lin Feng’s spell without hesitation, Xia Yan and Song Hong immediately began practicing according to the spell he taught. As they started cultivating, they immediately noticed the differences; it markedly increased their speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy by several times. This discovery filled them with joy, and in no time, they were in a frenzy of cultivation.
They didn’t realize that in doing so, they hovered in mid-air, and their bodies began to transform bit by bit. The red Gang Qi and Blood-Colored Gang Qi originally on their bodies disappeared, replaced by a faint mist gradually emanating from them. Although little, it was enough to make them truly appear as if they were acquiring some Immortal aura.
"Damn it! How did they catch up again?"
"How are they finding us!"
"Too strange, too strange!"
"What do we do, what do we do?"
...
On the other side, Xiao Hairong led his three companions, fleeing non-stop. It made them feel like spitting blood that no matter how they ran, they couldn’t escape the pursuit of the two Great Demon Immortals. Even when they used Secret Techniques to instantly shake off the two Great Demon Immortals, it took little time for them to be found again.
Confronted with this incomprehensible situation, the four of them felt like they were going crazy. They had no way to counter the strength of the two Great Demon Immortals. If they were really caught up by them, the consequences would be dire. They were also worried about one thing—if trapped by the two Great Demon Immortals, what if other cultivators showed up? Therefore, they had no intention of continuing the battle; they only had one thought in mind now, which was to escape no matter what. Once they lost the two Great Demon Immortals, they would devise a way to set up the formation. Once the Space Passage was complete, the remaining tasks wouldn’t require their involvement.
"These bastards run so fast!" Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon remarked as he continued pursuing Xiao Hairong and the others, thinking to himself that the Boss is indeed Boss. Now the Boss’s Divine Sense can cover the whole new world, and these people have nowhere to run. Even if they ran to the horizons, they couldn’t escape!
"They must die!" Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger coldly stated at this moment. He too was furious, feeling disgrace over not chasing down these guys despite so much time having passed. His murderous intent was overwhelming.
"Of course, these guys won’t stay alive no matter what," Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon said calmly at this point. With the Boss’s Divine Sense, these people can’t escape. They would catch up with them sooner or later, and once they did, it would be the end for these people.
After that, they stopped speaking and focused on pursuing. Although they were fast, they still couldn’t catch up with Xiao Hairong and the others, which puzzled them greatly. These escapees were moving too swiftly—two hours had passed, yet their speed hadn’t decreased. What on earth was going on?
Half an hour later, Xiao Hairong and his companions couldn’t stay calm any longer, realizing that escaping the two Great Demon Immortals’ chase was futile. No matter how they used Secret Techniques, they couldn’t get rid of them. Most importantly, after this prolonged full-speed escape, their speed was likely to start declining soon. Once caught by the two Great Demon Immortals, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"We’ll split up; if one can survive, it’s better than all dying by their hands." Seeing the worsening situation, Xiao Hairong couldn’t hold back and said to the others. After speaking, he suddenly increased his speed and dashed in one direction, abandoning his three subordinates.
He had his own thoughts. His strength and speed were superior to the other three. If he parted from them, he might have a chance to escape. Moreover, spreading out indeed favored their escape since the two Great Demon Immortals could chase only two people at most if they split up, conserving the lives of the others.
The other three understood Xiao Hairong’s intention upon seeing him act, and they exchanged glances before splitting in three different directions to escape. Escaping this calamity was their sole concern, regardless of the means.
