"Hey, have you thought it through yet? The time for a cup of tea is almost..."
Seeing the crowd from the Jia Ma Empire huddled together discussing something, Ying Changkong thought they were about to compromise. But before he could even finish his sentence, something unexpected happened.
Xiū
A figure, just like Ying Changkong when he arrived, flapped his Dou Qi Wings and sliced through the sky, flying directly toward the distance. This sudden scene left Ying Changkong stunned on the spot, unable to react for a moment.
Was someone... running away?
But if they were going to flee, why was it only one person? Ying Changkong looked out, and besides that receding figure on the horizon, the rest of the Jia Ma Empire group remained exactly where they were.
"What's the situation?"
Ying Changkong's head was filled with question marks.
However, right at that moment, a clear voice drifted back from the horizon. Clearly, this voice belonged to the person who had just fled.
"The inheritance I obtained contains all the secrets of this entire secret realm. If you want it, come and chase me!"
When that voice reached him, Ying Changkong was dumbfounded.
Could you even play it like that?
Seeing that figure gradually disappearing from his sight, Ying Changkong was momentarily torn between staying to confiscate the storage rings of the Jia Ma Empire group or chasing after the owner of that voice.
The person who had broken away from the group and used Dou Qi to transmit his voice back was none other than Xiao Lin!
That's right, Xiao Lin intended to use himself as bait to lure this Dou Huang powerhouse away!
After all, if they fought here, his strength would be exposed in front of everyone.
But if he lured Ying Changkong to a deserted place and then killed him, although others might still be suspicious, they wouldn't have any evidence, right? After all, who the hell would know what means Xiao Lin used to counter-kill a Dou Huang?
Even though it seemed inconceivable, at least in the short term, others wouldn't associate it with the fact that Xiao Lin's true strength far exceeded that of a Dou Wang!
This gave Xiao Lin some room to maneuver.
By now, Ying Changkong finally reacted.
It turned out the guy who ran away was the one who had obtained the secret treasure and inheritance!
After hesitating for less than a second, Ying Changkong decisively chose to pursue Xiao Lin.
After all, the strongest people among the Jia Ma Empire group were only Dou Wang. Since they had come to explore a secret realm, the things they carried on them definitely wouldn't be any heavy treasures.
In that case, the guy who obtained the secret treasure and inheritance was clearly a much more enticing target than these Jia Ma Empire people, the highest of whom were only Dou Wang.
Looking at it from another angle, as long as he was fast enough and dealt with the guy who got the inheritance quickly, couldn't he just come back and fleece the rest of the Jia Ma Empire group later?
As a Dou Huang, Ying Changkong knew how to weigh the pros and cons!
"Hmph, consider yourselves lucky for now!"
Leaving those words behind, Ying Changkong decisively chased after the direction Xiao Lin had vanished.
Xiū
The sound of Dou Qi Wings slicing through the air rang out again.
In the next second, Ying Changkong's figure was already a hundred meters away.
The departure of the Dou Huang powerhouse allowed the remaining Jia Ma Empire crowd to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, our strength is still insufficient, even though I've already become a Dou Wang... I hope Xiao Lin has heaven's grace on his side."
Nalan Jie was actually opposed to Xiao Lin's plan of using himself as bait to lure a Dou Huang to chase him.
But Xiao Lin's mind had been made up, and he completely ignored Nalan Jie's objections. Therefore, as Nalan Jie watched Ying Changkong pursue Xiao Lin, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Could a Dou Wang be considered a powerhouse?
In the Jia Ma Empire, or even across the Northwestern Region, they were indeed considered powerhouses. But when facing a Dou Huang, there was still no room to fight back!
This was reality!
After all, not everyone was like the Xiao Yan of the original story, who could fight people across several major realms. That was treatment reserved only for the protagonist.
"We should leave here as quickly as possible and not waste Brother Xiao's good intentions. If that Dou Huang from the Luo Yan Empire returns, we really won't be able to leave!"
Mu Chen calmly offered his suggestion at this time.
To this, no one else objected!
They didn't want to stay foolishly on the spot, waiting for Ying Changkong to return and strip them of their storage rings. Now, the only trouble left in front of them was the trouble brought by the others from the Luo Yan Empire.
Seeing the determination of the Jia Ma Empire group to retreat, the several Dou Wang powerhouses on the Luo Yan Empire side also showed hesitant expressions. By right, they should have stopped the Jia Ma Empire group.
However, Ying Changkong's reputation in the Luo Yan Empire was simply too terrible!
Many of the people present from the Luo Yan Empire belonged to factions that had been robbed by Ying Changkong and his Black Eagle Bandit Group in the past. It could be said there was an absolute blood feud!
When Ying Changkong was here just now, they wouldn't show it. But now that Ying Changkong had gone chasing Xiao Lin, many people in the Luo Yan Empire group had other thoughts. Truthfully, they didn't want to help Ying Changkong.
After all, even if they helped him, there were no benefits!
When they returned to the Luo Yan Empire in the future, that man would still rob them if he wanted to!
Since that was the case, why should they forcibly detain the Jia Ma Empire party just to pave the way for Ying Changkong? If they pushed the Jia Ma Empire people too hard and ended up getting dragged down with them, they would be the fools.
Therefore, when Yan Penghong wanted to stop the Jia Ma Empire crowd, more than two-thirds of the factions on the Luo Yan Empire side didn't want to do such a thankless task.
This even included a Dou Wang powerhouse from the Gold Goose Sect!
Faced with this scene, Yan Penghong could only helplessly watch as the Jia Ma Empire group slowly retreated. Less than one-third of their side wanted to act to keep the Jia Ma Empire people there, but how could such a force possibly rival the full group from the Jia Ma Empire?
It was purely sending themselves to be slaughtered!
So, because of Xiao Lin acting as bait, the Jia Ma Empire group successfully escaped a disaster and wasn't stripped down to their undergarments by a Dou Huang powerhouse. From this perspective, the people of the Jia Ma Empire would owe Xiao Lin a favor.
Of course, that was a matter for later.
At this moment, Xiao Lin had already flown who-knows-how-far. However, to avoid flying too fast and causing Ying Changkong to lose track of him—which might lead the man back to trouble the Jia Ma Empire group—Xiao Lin intentionally slowed his flight speed.
Thus, Ying Changkong was already gradually closing in on Xiao Lin.
However, in Ying Changkong's eyes, this was perfectly normal. Although both Dou Huang and Dou Wang could use Dou Qi Wings, in terms of flight speed, a Dou Huang was undoubtedly much stronger than a Dou Wang.
Otherwise, if Xiao Lin had flown out several breaths ahead of Ying Changkong, how could the man have approached him without noticing Xiao Lin was slowing down on purpose?
Life truly is like a play, it all depends on the acting!
Finally, after flying for less than ten minutes, Ying Changkong was less than a hundred meters away from Xiao Lin.
"Hmph, still want to flee? Let's see where you can run! Eagle's Fall Strike!"
While flying, Ying Changkong condensed his Dou Qi and aimed a Dou Technique directly at the center of Xiao Lin's back.
Suddenly, a gust of wild wind blew, and a cyan eagle completely condensed from Dou Qi clawed fiercely toward Xiao Lin's back. However, what Ying Changkong didn't know was that every single one of his movements was actually under the observation of Xiao Lin's Heaven Realm soul!
Using the Dou Technique Ying Changkong fired, Xiao Lin spread Dou Qi across his entire body and took the hit head-on.
Boom
A booming sound echoed as Xiao Lin was blasted away, eventually landing on a small mountain. Yet, this strike from Ying Changkong didn't cause any damage to Xiao Lin!
The only reason Xiao Lin took the hit was to lure Ying Changkong to this specific spot.
Sure enough, when Xiao Lin's figure hit the ground, Ying Changkong retracted his Dou Qi Wings and landed on the mountain immediately after.
"Run? Why aren't you running anymore? Weren't you very capable? Did you really think that as a mere Dou Wang, you could surpass a Dou Huang in flight speed?"
Looking at Xiao Lin pretending to crouch on the ground, panting and looking disheveled, Ying Changkong laughed sinisterly. However, he failed to notice the meaningful smile hanging on Xiao Lin's lowered face.
This was the graveyard he had chosen for Ying Changkong!
However, sometimes, plans can't keep up with changes.
Just as Xiao Lin was prepared to expose his strength and slap Ying Changkong to death with a single palm, something unexpected occurred.
Perhaps attracted by the commotion caused by Xiao Lin taking Ying Changkong's Eagle's Fall Strike, a figure that was originally flying in another direction suddenly turned around and was now flying toward Xiao Lin and Ying Changkong!
That person's flight speed was even faster than the Ying Changkong who had just been pursuing Xiao Lin. Clearly, if nothing went wrong, the person coming likely had strength even greater than Ying Changkong's!
This was a person who shouldn't have appeared!
