Chapter 300 - Reinforcement (2/2)
Zhong Yue carried Qiu Jin'er on his back as he flew away at full speed, He only stopped once he reached his limit after traveling for a million miles.
While Zhong Yue rested to catch his breath, Qiu Jin'er visualized a vine man, carried them up and started running away quickly.
The girl then took out a totem pillar and contacted the Swords Gate through it, informed Madame Qiu about their location and requested her to send reinforcements from Swords Gate.
Not long later, Zhong Yue's face changed, and he turned into the golden crow, carried Qiu Jin'er on his back as he flew away quickly. As he flew away, the clouds in the skies twisted again as Zhurong Changkong's avatar was going to emerge again.
"Haha, let us see how far you can run?" said the avatar with a smirk on his face.
Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er did not fret, and they continued running away at full speed and in an even secretive manner. They, however, failed to shake Zhurong Changkong from their tails even after trying for two days. Instead of shaking Zhurong Changkong off their tails, Zhurong Changkong somehow started to get closer and closer to them.
Previously, Qiu Jin'er managed to shake off the pursuers because there was not a single Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioners among them, but now, with Zhurong Changkong among the pursuers, the difficulty of escaping had increased dramatically.
Fortunately, they managed to retrieve the art to achieve the immortal body of the Kui Long Celestial Races, which allowed them to persist until now.
However, it seemed like they were not able to keep it up again.
The war chariot flew across the skies with Zhurong Changkong in it, he looked far away, and he ordered a Qi Practitioner beside him, "In front of us is the fortress guarding the border of South Barren. Inform the generals over there to seal the borders and keep a lookout for Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er.
The Qi Practitioner nodded, took out a totem pillar and informed the border guards about the order of Zhurong Changkong.
Meanwhile, on the ground below the war chariot, a few Pan Aos charged forward quickly, while the others from the West Barren searched everywhere for their traces.
"Seems like he will catch up to us by the end of the day, but we are close to the West Barren as well."
Zhong Yue looked up, and the border of West and South Barren entered his vision, only about a thousand miles away from them. He then descended onto the ground and said, "Junior martial brother, these guys will take some time to reach here, we'll rest a bit and set up an ambush here. We have to try and eliminate as many of their underlings as possible, or we will not be able to escape!"
Qiu Jin'er nodded, and she immediately shouted, causing huge trees to spawn spontaneously. Zhong Yue engraved totem carvings all over the trees, laying down trap arrays in preparation for the imminent battle.
The pair then dashed through the jungle that Qiu Jin'er just created, with Zhong Yue drawing totem carvings on all the trees they passed.
When they were done, Qiu Jin'er slammed her hands onto the ground, had the trees sunk into the ground to hide them away from the plain sights.
Zhong Yue then held Qiu Jin'er's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
As soon as he finished talking, scorching sunfire surged out from his body, shrouded both of them and completely burnt off their scent and whatever traces left behind before he led Qiu Jin'er backward for a few hundred miles and stopped in front of a lake.
Zhong Yue then surged his psyche out, forming a barrier that surrounded Qiu Jin'er and himself as they sunk into the lake.
Shortly, a luxurious-looking war chariot flew across the skies above the lake while the ground trembled as the Pan Aos and the West Barren's celestial races' members dashed pass the lake.
Boom——
An earthquake occurred as the huge trees Qiu Jin'er created rose from the ground and turned into large golden crows and celestial beings. They rampaged all over the area, tore fleshes apart and blood spilled everywhere.
In the air, the speeding war chariot suddenly came to a stop in an instant, and a huge hand could be seen forming in the air before it slammed onto the ground. It eliminated all of the golden crows and celestial beings, foiled the trap that Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er deployed.
"Bastards!"
Zhurong Changkong furiously shouted as he looked at the ruins of the array trap set by Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er. The ground abounded with mutilated bodies, and none of the celestial races' Qi Practitioners survived the ambush!
A Martial Master then quickly contacted the border guards and said, "Mister Changkong, guards from the border fortress reported no sightings of Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er…."
Zhurong Changkong clenched his fist, and the clouds gathered around him, turning into a huge avatar that smirked and said, "If they are not seen around the border, then they are around here somewhere. Hmph, such foolishness! Di Ting, go, observe and listen to any movements in the underground, we must not let them escape from the underground!"
A celestial race Qi Practitioner quickly jumped down from the war chariot and turned into a colossal beast that put his ears on the ground to sense any movements underneath it.
Zhurong Changkong's expression turned dark after that, and he scanned around as he thought, Zhong Yue, Qiu Jin'er, do both of you really believe that you can escape from my eyes?
From his eyes shot two laser rays that swiped around the surrounding, inches by inches and quickly, the two laser rays were about to reach the lake.
In the lake, cold sweat dripped down from Qiu Jin'er's forehead and she quickly contacted her mother, Madame Qiu with her totem pillars while Zhong Yue was all tensed up, preparing to bring Qiu Jin'er and fight their way out.
Suddenly, the two laser rays disappeared, and a voice could be heard saying, "Senior martial brother Zuo, do you think that we could kill this old dog before the border fortress could respond in time?"
"Tough." Another voice answered, "But we can try."
