Because there were no obstructions in the sky, the Thunderbird's speed in the sky was very fast. If Xiao Lang continued to fly in the vast wilderness, he would eventually be caught. Long Chen had no choice but to face so many powerhouses.
Poverty leads to change.
Long Chen's expression was solemn as he looked around and recalled the general terrain on the map. They had already exited the wild forest and arrived in the wilderness. Long Chen suddenly recalled that there was a misty valley on the left side of the wilderness. The valley was foggy, and ordinary martialists wouldn't be able to distinguish the path and direction, let alone the Thunderbird. With the obstruction of the fog, Long Chen might still have a chance of escaping the pursuit of the Royal Family.
Thinking of this, Long Chen quickly told Xiao Lang, "Head to the left."
While Long Chen was thinking of countermeasures, Xiao Lang certainly wasn't idle. However, he still couldn't think of anything. If Long Chen told him to head to the left, then it must be right. With a low growl, the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf's huge body suddenly turned and rushed to the left. Along the way, smoke and dust filled the sky. At this moment, ordinary people wouldn't be able to see Xiao Lang at all. They would only be able to see a black shadow passing by.
The Thunderbird behind him also changed direction and chased after Long Chen and the others. The endless exploding lightning net in the sky was about to engulf Long Chen.
At this moment, Xiao Lang had already unleashed his maximum speed.
In this boundless wilderness, a huge chase was taking place.
Facing the night wind, Long Chen hugged Lingxi tightly, feeling her nervousness and despair. Long Chen knew what she wanted to say, but he covered her mouth and said, "Don't say anything before the outcome is decided."
His tone was very calm, but it revealed an unparalleled majesty. From his calm voice, Ling Xi could tell that his body was already like a volcano. Under the influence of the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon's inheritance essence blood, there was only one word left in his mind, and that was' kill '.
In this wilderness, the Thunderbird chased after the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf for a full hour. It almost caught up several times, but Xiao Lang sped up and left it behind. When a deep valley shrouded in fog finally appeared in front of them, Long Chen smiled in pleasant surprise.
"Given the density of the fog in this valley, the Thunderbird can't fly at all, let alone use its full speed. However, Xiao Lang can."
Xiao Lang now knew why Long Chen had asked him to turn left. This Dense Fog Valley should be their only hope of escaping.
The commanders of the Imperial City Guard Army on the Thunderbird also saw the Dense Fog Valley. However, they didn't think that Long Chen could escape this time. There were five Thunderbirds and a total of five commanders. Among the five commanders, there was a middle-aged martialist, a man and a woman. The two of them were introverted and their eyes shone with dazzling starlight. It was obvious that their cultivation was far above Long Chen's.
"You want to escape into the Dense Fog Valley? What a naive child. The Thunderbird can't catch you in the Dense Fog Valley, but we can't catch you either."
"Hehe, Second Brother, he isn't a child. He killed Song Yuefeng, the Ninth Prince, and just killed Seventh Brother. Can a child do that?" One of the two powerhouses, the beautiful woman, said.
Among the commanders who had come this time, the two of them were the strongest. Furthermore, the woman had just addressed the other powerhouse as Second Brother. It was obvious that the second to seventh commanders of the Imperial City Guard Army had been mobilized. It was obvious that they had put in a lot of effort to capture Long Chen.
At this moment, Xiao Lang had already carried Lingxi and jumped into the Dense Fog Valley. The other commanders were surprised when Long Chen jumped off the Sun-Devouring Demon Wolf. Then, he looked coldly at the Thunderbird that was diving down and preparing to land.
Given the speed of the commanders, they would definitely be able to catch up to Long Chen and the others on the ground. Therefore, it seemed like they wouldn't need to use the Thunderbird.
"Why did he stay behind?"
Everyone had the same question in their minds.
The cold glint in Long Chen's eyes made them somewhat unsure of his intentions.
However, it would be great if they could capture Long Chen faster. Hence, they mocked Long Chen's audacity. At the same time, the Thunderbird formed a huge lightning net and pounced at Long Chen.
At this moment, Long Chen moved. After letting Xiao Lang rush into the Dense Fog Valley, Long Chen immediately turned back. Seeing that a few Thunderbirds were about to land, Long Chen erupted with all his strength. With a roar, he swung the Blue Dragon Halberd in his hand like a sharp arrow that pierced the sky.
"What?"
No one had expected that Long Chen would actually attack the Thunderbirds. As the Thunderbirds were about to land, they didn't fly very high. Long Chen swung the Blue Dragon Halberd. Before the Thunderbird could react, the entire Blue Dragon Halberd had pierced deep into the chest of one of the Thunderbirds.
The Thunderbird let out a painful wail as its heart was pierced. It couldn't control its body any longer and fell down. It seemed like it wouldn't survive.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Long Chen quickly recalled the Blue Dragon Halberd. Then, he followed Xiao Lang and quickly flashed into the Dense Fog Valley.
In fact, in the Dense Fog Valley, Long Chen's greatest reliance was the Soul-Devouring Demon Pupil. The third level of the Soul-Devouring Demon Pupil, Profound Insight, allowed Long Chen to completely ignore the thick fog and directly see any life within. Although Xiao Lang had already entered the Dense Fog Valley, Long Chen was still able to find him very quickly.
Just now, he only wanted to stay behind and delay the five great commanders from entering the Dense Fog Valley. He only wanted to kill one Thunderbird. Even he didn't think that it would have such a big effect.
The five Lightning Birds were able to form such a fast speed and soar in the sky because they were connected by a lightning net, and in the process of diving, one of the Lightning Birds died. Firstly, it caused the unfortunate Sixth Commander on his back to directly fall from a height of about 100 meters. With his strength at the sixth level of the Heavenly River Tier, though he wouldn't fall to his death, he would at least be dizzy from the fall.
As for the others, because of the death of one of the Thunderbirds, the lightning net formed by the five Thunderbirds instantly lost balance. This imbalance also caused the other Thunderbirds to tremble in the air for a long time before they finally adjusted and landed safely on the ground.
However, with this small delay, Long Chen had already disappeared without a trace.
"Old Sixth, you stay here and order everyone to surround the Dense Fog Valley. The others, go in and search for me. We must catch Long Chen."
Being played by Long Chen so easily, the Second Commander felt uncomfortable. His expression was gloomy as he made the arrangements. Then, he immediately led the others into the Dense Fog Valley.
With Long Chen's agility, he quickly caught up to Xiao Lang in the Dense Fog Valley. He rushed to the front and used the Soul-Devouring Demon Pupil to lead the way for Xiao Lang. In this Dense Fog Valley, there were many demonic beasts, and there were even quite a few very powerful ones. In order to avoid conflict with these demonic beasts and cause unnecessary trouble, Long Chen had been doing his best to avoid these demonic beasts.
In the Dense Fog Valley, the terrain was rugged, and there were jagged rocks everywhere. Not a single blade of grass grew. It was a desolate scene.
Although there were no sounds of pursuers behind him, Long Chen didn't dare to be negligent. He was currently thinking of countermeasures. In reality, the Dense Fog Valley wasn't that big. If the five commanders directly mobilized ten thousand troops, they could completely surround it. Even if Long Chen broke out of the encirclement, it would be difficult for him to escape the pursuit of the five commanders. Therefore, he had to make good use of this terrain and reduce the strength of the five commanders in an extremely short period of time until they were all dead.
"Looks like this time, I have to put my life on the line. Only then will I have a chance to survive."
As he rapidly advanced among the rocks, Long Chen searched for a concealed place for Lingxi to hide.
As long as Lingxi hid and Xiao Lang protected her, Long Chen would be able to engage in guerilla warfare with the five commanders in the Dense Fog Valley. Long Chen had three main things he could rely on: the Spirit-Devouring Demon Eyes, the Blood Escape Technique, and the Divine Flame Clone.
With the Blood Escape Technique, as long as he achieved his goal of killing in one move, no one would be able to stop him.
This was Long Chen's plan.
At this moment, the terrain started to descend and the sound of flowing water could be heard in front of him. This should be a waterfall. Long Chen didn't pay much attention to it. He was originally heading towards the waterfall, so he didn't change his direction.
Not long after, a waterfall appeared in front of them. The waterfall wasn't big, but it was full of momentum. The drop was about 30 meters or so, and a huge amount of water crashed into the deep pool with a loud rumbling sound. Waves of white water rippled in all directions, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the pool.
Originally, Long Chen didn't care much about this waterfall. He was preparing to cross the waterfall and find another place to hide. He didn't expect that at this time, his Spirit-Devouring Demon Eyes would directly penetrate the mountain wall and see that there was a cave in the middle of the waterfall. And in this cave, a powerful demonic beast was hibernating.
This demonic beast gave Long Chen a huge pressure. It seemed that it was at least a seventh level Earth ranked demonic beast.
Long Chen reckoned that this mountain wall was originally the entrance to a cave. Later, the river channel changed, and the river directly smashed down from the top of the cave. Only then did the water cover the cave entrance. This was originally an excellent hiding place, but it was a pity that there was actually a Seventh Grade Earth Rank Demonic Beast inside. With the existence of this Demonic Beast, there was no way to quietly occupy this cave.
At this time, Long Chen carefully sensed that the aura of the demonic beast had weakened to the extreme. Could it be that it was already injured?
