High above, a deathly silence reigned. Only two figures, fleeing in disarray, flew at breakneck speed. Suddenly, Elder Jin abruptly stopped. His face was flushed, his rage palpable.
"Damn it! We've been tricked by that damned old man Su Qian!"
Elder Yin, who had been wondering why his elder brother hadn't flown further, was even more bewildered upon hearing this.
Seeing Elder Yin's foolish state, Elder Jin was instantly enraged and slapped the idiot hard on the head.
"Cough!"
He had aggravated his injury from the force.
"Brother, why did you hit me? I'm injured too!"
Elder Jin's chest heaved violently, and it took him a while to recover. Well, he was indeed a foolish younger brother. How else could he demonstrate his shrewdness?
"That Hu Qian didn't even come. Otherwise, Wu Tianlang and Hu Qian would have held us back from the start, and then Su Qian, a Dou Zong realm cultivator, could have easily defeated that treacherous Luo Nue Tian."
"What!? That damned old man Su Qian is so cunning, daring to deceive us, the Gold and Silver Elders!"
The Silver Elder, finally understanding, turned red and white with anger, but when he thought of Su Qian's Dou Zong strength, he felt deflated. He couldn't win.
Seeing that his foolish younger brother wasn't completely stupid after all, the Gold Elder nodded slowly. His elder brother had indeed taught him well.
"Brother, what do we do now? We've given away all our possessions. We can't just treat these injuries carelessly; otherwise, we might lose all hope of advancing to Dou Zong."
Seeing the Silver Elder's anxious expression, the Gold Elder remained calm. He truly deserved to be the strategist between the two! Slowly stroking his beard, the Gold Elder's gaze turned towards a famous city in the Black Corner Region.
"The only way now is to pay a price and go find that Medicine King Han Feng!"
Above the nameless valley, Elder Su Qian quickly picked up two storage rings and then said to Wu Tianlang, who was flying over.
"There's no time to lose, let's hurry over there. I think I just saw Elder Lin Feng and little girl Zi Yan chasing after them."
"What! Little girl Zi Yan is one thing, but how could Elder Lin Feng be so reckless?"
Elder Su Qian waved his hand, not so worried. "Elder Lin Feng and little girl Zi Yan's progress is beyond your imagination. Although they are no match for Luo Nuetian, their lives are not in danger."
"Oh, that's interesting." Hearing Su Qian's words, a hint of interest flashed in Wu Tianlang's eyes. Then the two of them didn't delay any longer, greeted Elder Hu and the others below, and then chased after them in a certain direction with all their might.
About ten miles above the nameless valley, three people were facing off, but the old man among them seemed extremely anxious.
Originally, seeing that the two elders, Jin and Yin, had fallen into his trap, buying him precious time to escape, he was certain he could survive. He then went into hiding, secretly watching Canaan Academy, planning to capture and cruelly torture any students he encountered during their training.
Unexpectedly, two brats saw through his plan and were even able to keep up with his speed, which greatly surprised him. However, realizing that their aura was only at the mid-to-high-level Dou Wang level, and considering that they were already several miles from the valley—
a matter of moments—he figured if he could seize these seemingly invaluable elite Canaan Academy students, he might be able to save his life even if old man Su Qian caught up with them.
But when the two sides clashed, Luo Nuetian was greatly shocked. Although it was just a casual strike, as a peak Dou Huang, even a low-level Dou Huang would find it difficult to withstand such an attack. How could these two brats have blocked it so easily?
Knowing that Su Qian and Wu Tianlang might catch up at any moment, Luo Nuetian decided to go all out to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
Sure enough, his worst fears came true. Faced with Luo Nuetian's full-force attack, the young man used a strange spirit beast transformation technique to block it all. Although she was no match for him, whenever she couldn't hold on, the little girl would use a spatial technique to quickly disappear from her spot.
Escaping would mean being caught, and he couldn't subdue her quickly enough, so the situation quickly became a stalemate.
"No, this won't work. Although the Jin and Yin elders are as stupid as pigs, easily manipulated by me, that old man Su Qian is cunning as a devil and not someone to be trifled with. He certainly won't let me go."
Luo Nuetian's expression darkened as he glanced at Lin Feng and the other man. "These two brats, we must find a way to get rid of them."
"I've got it! Let's do it!"
"You two little beasts, today I will fight you to the death!"
Suddenly, Luo Nuetian put on a fierce expression, which, combined with his aged appearance, startled Miss Zi Yan. Seeing his appearance, the two dared not be careless.
Sure enough, Luo Nuetian's body rapidly expanded, reaching a height of two zhang in just a few moments, his aura seemingly breaking through a limit. Then, he leaped from the spot and quickly attacked Lin Feng and the other.
"Lin Feng, this old guy's aura has reached the Dou Zong level, slightly affecting the space. With my current spatial power, I can't use small-scale teleportation, I can only teleport long distances."
Suddenly, Zi Yan's solemn voice rang out. As Lin Feng expected, these ruthless characters from the Black Corner Region were indeed experienced in combat, and they noticed Zi Yan's current limitations after only a few exchanges.
"It's alright, let's teleport long distances!"
"Buzz!"
After Lin Feng and the other disappeared, Luo Nuetian immediately changed direction and continued to flee into the distance.
"Just as I expected, even if that little brat has high talent, she can't use spatial power without any restrictions. She's just a Dou Wang!"
He felt smug about his shrewd judgment, but his actions didn't stop; his Dou Qi wings flapped at top speed.
"Canaan Academy, just you wait! I'll make sure you're left in ruins to avenge today's humiliation."
"Is that so? Then don't leave, stay for tea!"
Just as Luo Nuetian was muttering to himself, a mocking voice entered his ears. Instantly, cold sweat broke out on his face. He quickly stopped, staring stiffly at the figure that had suddenly appeared before him.
"Su, Su Qian!!!"
"Yes, Sect Master Luo, a family should be together. Since your Ironclad Sect members are all lying in the valley, it's rather unkind of you to leave alone."
"Wu Tianlang!"
The voice behind him drove Luo Nuetian completely mad, his teeth clenched in fury.
"Fine, fine, since you won't let me live, you won't have an easy time either."
"This commander wants to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve. Last time I fell for your scheme, do you intend to use the same trick again this time?"
Wu Tianlang said, but his expression showed no carelessness. If he allowed someone to escape twice from his grasp, he would completely disgrace the Canaan Academy's enforcement team.
Su Qian, who was ahead, was also observing intently. The final struggle of a peak Dou Huang expert was something that even he could suffer serious injury if he was careless.
"Bloodthirsty Iron Armor, burn for me!"
With Luo Nuetian's shrill shout, his bulging muscles expanded violently once more, then contracted rapidly in a way that defied common sense. A blood-red flame ignited on his body, and his aura instantly broke through the boundary between Dou Huang and Dou Zong, even rivaling that of Elder Su Qian. He
then swiftly attacked Wu Tianlang, who was clearly the weaker of the two. It was obvious that even if he survived this attack, it would damage his foundation, preventing him from making any further progress. However, Luo Nuetian was now prepared to die with Su Qian, who truly possessed the power of a Dou Zong, and he had no chance of escape.
"Damn it!" Wu Tianlang wasn't surprised that Luo Nuetian chose him as his target; he was already prepared. "Afraid of you? Take my low-level Earth-rank Dou Technique—Blood Soul Great Slaughter Sword!"
However, the expected collision didn't happen. Instead, Luo Nuetian swiftly charged towards Lin Feng and his companion in the distance.
"Hahaha, old man Su Qian, these two brats have Dou Wang strength at such a young age; they must be treasures of Canaan Academy. Today, I will cut them in half! Hahahaha!"
"Damn Luo Nuetian, I will tear you to pieces!"
