The Battle Through Heaven
Escape for Thousands of Kilometers
"It's bad, that Dou Huang is chasing. Isn't that person's speed too frightening? " Seeing that Dou Huang managed to escape quickly from the Snake-People barrier and successfully chased after him, Xiao Yan felt the skin on his head becoming numb. He hurriedly shouted in his heart, "Teacher!"
"I know, for the rest of this journey, allow me to support your escape. The other side has too many people so we cannot be put off by them. Otherwise, even if I can take you on the run, those ‘Heavenly Fires will be stolen by them! " Right now, Yao Lao's voice had an additional seriousness. The line formed by Dou Huang and the three Dou Wangs was something that even he could not look down on now.
"good. I'll hand it to you. Regardless of what happens, we cannot lose ‘Heavenly Fire’ again. " Xiao Yan nodded his head heavily and earnestly asked with a bitter smile.
"Ke Ke, I know!"
After agreeing with a smile, Yao Lao slowly descended into silence. An extremely ferocious Spiritual Strength surged out from Xiao Yan's body. In the blink of an eye, he controlled Xiao Yan's body.
As Yao Lao Spiritual Strength surged, Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly. A faint purple colored cloud tattoo formed behind the Purple Cloud Wings as a light purple line slowly appeared. The light swimming slowly within the lines made him seem like a mystical and mysterious living being.
This kind of strange phenomenon would only appear when the Purple Cloud Wings were pushed to their limits. With Xiao Yan's current strength, he did not have the ability to achieve this. However, this was something very simple for Yao Lao.
After a line of purple clouds appeared in the Purple Cloud Wings, Xiao Yan's flying speed seemed to instantly skyrocket to more than double his original speed. His insane flying speed unleashed a sonic boom as it passed through the air. From this, it could be seen just how frightening Xiao Yan's current speed was.
Following Xiao Yan's surge in speed, the distance between himself and Gu He's group, which was gradually narrowing, immediately widened.
Gu He and the other two adopted stunned expressions as they looked at the human figure from a great distance in front of them who seemed to be teleporting. Unempowerment appeared in their hearts. This kind of speed is too fast. This could be compared to the Dou Huang speed of the wind affinity.
"Don't tell me that person is also a Dou Huang?"
The thought flashed swiftly across Gu He's heart, making his face change slightly. However , he quickly tightened his fists hard. Even if his opponent was a Dou Huang, Gu He would never let him successfully take ‘He Heavenly Fire’. He had offered an extremely generous gift for inviting Yan Shi and Feng Li of the Ten Strongest People in the Jia Ma Empire, respectively, to take the risk of entering the inner desert and accompany him to steal ‘Heavenly Fire’. So, no matter what happens, he will not give up on this ‘Heavenly Fire’! Even if the other person was a Dou Huang, it was impossible for him to give up!
As Xiao Yan's speed increased drastically, the expressions of Yan Shi and Feng Li on Gu He's side became extremely ugly. Clearly, they had thought of the same thing as Gu He.
The two exchanged glances and shook their heads with bitter smiles. Wanting to get the generous gift Gu He mentioned was not easy. Initially they rejoiced over the disappearance of Queen Medusa but they did not expect that another mysterious and powerful person of unknown origin would appear once again. This constant twists and turns of events had caused the two famous strongmen in the Jia Ma Empire to feel helpless and bitter.
"’The Heavenly Fire’ is indeed something that will cause many strong people to go crazy ..." After muttering with a bitter smile, Feng Li tilted his head and looked at Gu He's grim and furious face. He had not expected this usually relaxed and easygoing alchemist grandmaster would have trouble maintaining his usual attitude in front of ‘Heavenly Fire.’. This allowed Feng Li to personally experience the temptation of ‘He Heavenly Fire’.
"Cursue! I want to see where this strong man comes from. As long as we know his identity, I do not believe that there is someone in the Jia Ma Empire that I cannot, Gu He, offend! " Gu He suppressed his anger and snorted. The pair of Dou Qi wings on his back flapped and his speed suddenly increased slightly as he quickly chased after a small black dot in the distance.
"Hee hee, Old He seems really angry. I wonder where that strong man came from? If it was the Ma Ma Empire, I was worried that he would be extremely unlucky. It's not something fun to do. " Looking at Gu He whose anger had already appeared, Yan Shi could not help but open his mouth and laugh.
Feng Li nodded his head. Indeed, a tier six alchemist was someone that even a Dou Huang would not easily dare to offend. After all, the nepotism of an alchemist was really a little frightening. As long as he knows your identity, he can invite many good friends every day and take turns attacking. Even if he can't beat you, he might make you tired.
However, even with the increase in the speed of Gu He and the other two, they continued to lag far behind Xiao Yan. The distance between them is also getting further. This situation caused Gu He to become so angry that his face turned pale but he remained helpless. After all, they had pushed their speed to their peak. It was already impossible for them to go faster.
As Gu He gritted his teeth in fury at an increasingly distant distance, the black shadow caught them in a lightning-like manner from far behind them. In an instant, he appeared in front of them.
Looking at the black-robed person who appeared in a flash in the distance, excitement immediately surged onto Gu He's face. At the same time he sighed as he hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up, stop that person."
"Why should we split up?" Hearing those words, Gu He was confused and asked in a stunned manner.
"The strongest among the Snake People is in pursuit. Their speed was very fast in the desert. Moreover, they had already gathered five Dou Wangs. If I continue to protect you, I can safely send you all out of the desert. However, I was worried that I would not be able to chase after that person in front of the "Black-robed person said softly.
"Have you?" Gu He's heart was a little surprised. He pondered for a moment, and firmly called out, "Alright, let's go our separate ways. I'll leave that person in front of you. You don't have to worry about all of us. Although we cannot face the powerful Snake-People head-on, it shouldn't be too difficult for us to leave the desert! "
"Good." The black-robed man nodded slightly. After a few reminders, he flapped his green-colored Dou Qi wings and chased to the place where Xiao Yan disappeared in a lightning-like manner.
"I'll hand it to you. You must take back ‘Api Heavenly’! " Looking at that black-robed person, Gu He shouted. He waited for the first one to disappear from sight before he frowned and turned to glance at the horizon. He said grimly, "Old Shi, Feng Li, let's go our separate ways, Remember, we will meet in Yan City. Be careful!"
"Hehe, okay. That's very unfortunate. I originally wanted to have a big fight with the Snake People. But from the looks of it, it looks like we won't have a chance. " Yan Shi nodded and smiled.
"There will be many opportunities. Now, they are superior in numbers, let's back off first. " Gu He gave a strong smile as he said.
"Haha, you don't have to worry too much. You should know the strength of Sectional Leader Yun well. He should be able to chase after the man in front. " Looking at Gu He's face, Feng Li smiled and comforted Gu He.
"Ugh, hopefully. If he still fails, maybe I am not destined to have ‘Heavenly Fire’. " Gu He sighed softly. He fused his hands together and shook them towards the other two before saying seriously, "You two, be careful. I'm going! "
After saying this, the pair of wings on his back flapped. He then turned around and shot towards the edge of the desert.
Ke ke, let's go too. Seeing Gu He disappear again, Yan Shi and Feng Li also smiled. The wings on their backs flapped and they turned around before flying in different directions.
Moments after the three disappeared, five glints flashed like shooting stars. A moment later, they stopped at where Gu He and the other two were standing.
They have separated! After sensing for a moment, Yue Mei frowned and faced the other four, "What are we doing now?"
"Let's split up and chase. Yue Mei, the three of you will go and chase after Gu He and the other two. Yan Ci and I will pursue a Dou Huang. " Said the Snake Person wearing a gray robe. This Snake person was already quite old with a face full of wrinkles. It was clear that he had quite a high reputation among these people. Thus, when they heard of the arrangement, even the grumpy Yan Ci did not say anything against it.
"Elder Yin, you and Yan Ci are no match for a Dou Huang. In the holy city, he easily managed to escape even when the three of us attacked together. " Mo BaSi said with a frown.
"Lake-off. We won't face it. I've left some marks along the way here. If Nan She and the others come and follow the mark to chase after us, WE will attack together. That Dou Huang would not have an easy time. On the other hand, if a few of you manage to catch up to your opponent, you should teach them an unforgettable lesson. They arrogantly stormed into the territory of our Snake People race. If they leave without a loss, wouldn't that cause our Snake-People race to lose face? " The voice of the gray-clothed old man was rather hoarse and cold.
"Yes!" Yue Mei's pretty face was really ice-cold. He nodded and did not say any other unnecessary things. After the three of them exchanged glances, the Dou Qi wings on their backs flapped and the three of them flew towards Gu He and the other two in a lightning-like manner.
"Let's go, Yan Ci! I once exchanged blows with three Dou Huangs from the Jia Ma Empire. If I can make contact with a black-robed person, I should be able to identify him. Even if he escapes, our Snake-People race will be able to take revenge for this mistake. " Looking at Yue Mei and the other two quickly disappearing, the gray-clothed old man narrowed his muddy eyes and said weakly.
"Yes." Yeah." Yan Ci nodded. A fierce glint danced in his eyes. With the flapping of the wings on his back, he and the gray-clothed old man turned into two rays of light and shot in the same direction as the black-robed man before.
