Chapter 25 - Flee Once Again

nAlmost there. Don't you dare come back at this moment! Yun Lintian thought to himself while gazing at the Celestial Buddha Lotus a short distance away.

nHe didn't let his guard down and observing the Abyssal Crocodile from time to time. Currently, it was happily hunting the four of Song He's group and didn't aware that the lotus it was guarding for several years was about to be snatched away by Yun Lintian.

nCome here, baby! Brother will take care of you from now on… Yun Lintian became ecstatic when he arrived at the lotus's position. He reached out his hand to grab it. However, the moment his hand touched it, the lotus suddenly glowed in golden light and the ancient runes on Yun Lintian's body instantly lost their ability.

nRoarrrrr!

nThe Abyssal Crocodile immediately noticed the hateful thief trying to snatch its treasure away. It roared furiously and hastily dashed toward the lotus like an underwater torpedo.

n

"F*ck!

" Yun Lintian cursed out loud when he realized the situation he was in. He never thought this beautiful baby in front of him would hurt him like this. Without thinking further, he stored the lotus away and frantically fled toward the shore with all his might.

n

"Roar!

" The Abyssal Crocodile shot out thousands of water arrows at Yun Lintian madly. It was the only long-range attack in its possession that was fast enough to catch Yun Lintian.

nYun Lintian had already expected this beforehand. He conjured a protective barrier to cover his back while shattering a wind talisman to increase his speed. It was the same trick as before, but it was effective enough to let him increasing the distance between him and the crocodile.

nBoom!

nYun Lintian's protective barrier broken very quickly by the overwhelming power. When one of the water arrows hit his back, he felt as if he was hit by a truck, causing him to spurt blood out of his mouth.

nDamn it! This is more powerful than two days ago… Yun Lintian thought while enduring the pain in his back. He madly escaped toward the shore as the Abyssal Crocodile quickly shortening the distance. This time it went all out to pursue Yun Lintian. The Abyssal Crocodile's Spiritual Sense firmly locked on him without any distraction. No matter where Yun Lintian went, it would follow him to the end of the world.

nEveryone on the shore stopped their action when they heard the roar of earlier. Yun Chan saw the lotus had disappeared. She instantly guessed that Yun Lintian had successfully obtained it.

nUnder the joint attacks from Yun Chan, Hua Fei, and Yang Ping, the three youths from the Chen clan were completely dead and members of the Li clan had run away from the place a long time ago, leaving only six people behind.

nHua Fei and the other two from the Hua clan walked to Yun Chan's side after disposing of the corpses. Hua Fei asked confusedly,

"What happened?

"

nYun Chan shook her head, pretending she didn't know about it.

n

"Where is the lotus?

" Yang Ping asked as he saw the lotus was gone.

n

"Someone snatched it away while we are fighting. Hah, did we just make a wedding dress for others?

" Hua Fei said with a trace of anger. She didn't like the feeling of being used by others.

nYun Chan didn't want to linger on this topic further. She said,

"What is your plan?

"

nHua Fei looked at her friends before shaking her head.

"We don't have any plan for now. We made an appointment with our Young Mistress in the southern area. What about you, Sister Yun?

"

nYun Chan pondered for a second. She replied,

"Let's go together. I am heading south too.

"

nFollowing that, everyone set off toward the south direction.

n...

nWhile Yun Chan discussing with others, Yun Lintian had reached the shore on the opposite side. The Abyssal Crocodile still roaring angrily from behind and prepared to climb up the shore.

nYun Lintian didn't bother about it. He poured every ounce of his profound energy onto his legs and shot forward like an arrow in the south direction.

nThe Abyssal Crocodile's speed was slower on the ground. Its four feet stomping restlessly, chasing after Yun Lintian. Every tree on the path was broken into pieces by its tough body. Several profound beasts were scared away by the crocodile, and Yun Lintian got benefited from this.

nYun Lintian was now drenched in sweat, trying to get out of this predicament. His profound energy was constantly depleted. It won't be long before he ran out of energy and probably became the crocodile's food. He popped the Energy Replenish Pill into his mouth, but he couldn't digest it fast enough and his energy was still on the decline.

nAlthough Yun Lintian's heart pounding madly, his mind was incomparably calm. He had teetered between life and death countless times before, and this time wasn't anything new to him. The difference was the enemy this time possessed insanely high strength than him, to the point that he couldn't even retaliate back in the slightest.

nYun Lintian's figure zigzagging through the forest, trying his best to get rid of the crocodile. His effort was futile because he couldn't escape from the Abyssal Crocodile's Spiritual Sense. Just as Yun Lintian was thinking, a group of three men appeared in his vision. Looking at their attires, the corner of Yun Lintian's mouth raised into an evil smile. He took out an iron bow from his interspatial ring, aiming at the group, and shot an arrow at them.

nThe three men perceived the incoming danger. They turned to Yun Lintian's direction and saw the arrow passing through the wind, straight into their position.

nBang!

nA youth with a long spear swung his spear at the arrow, cutting it in half as he shouted,

"Who are you!?

"

n

"It's me!

" Yun Lintian yelled back while charging at them.

n

"It's him!

" Another youth beside the spear youth recognized Yun Lintian. Everyone in the Luo clan had received an order to capture Yun Lintian before coming here. They naturally remembered his appearance.

n

"Capture him!

" The spear youth ordered. The trio moved forward, launching their offensive techniques at Yun Lintian.

nYun Lintian cleverly dodged the attacks while taking the Celestial Buddha Lotus out and smeared its scent on the trio's body. He then abruptly changed the direction, continuing to flee. Even though he couldn't fight them head-on, avoiding their attacks was not a problem.

n

"Chase!

" The spear youth was furious at the outcome. The overwhelming anger made him completely ignored the fragrance and Yun Lintian's weird actions.

nWhen they were about to chase after Yun Lintian, an angry roar rang into their ears, causing them to turn back to take a look.

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

nSeveral heavy footsteps could be heard along with the Abyssal Crocodile's enormous body appeared in the trio's visions.

n

"W… What the hell is that?

" One of the trios stuttered fearfully.

n

"R… Run!

" The spear youth turned around and fled.

n

"AH! Help!

" The unlucky youth who had the slowest reaction was unable to escape in time as the Abyssal Crocodile jumped onto him with its frightful mouth opened widely and bit on his body ferociously.

nThe spear youth and another youth beside him turned to look at the unlucky youth. The brutal scene in front of them immediately sent a chill running down their spines. At this moment, they didn't have any thought of helping his friend anymore. Both of them urged their profound energy and continued to escape.

nThe Abyssal Crocodile swallowed the unlucky youth into its belly. It looked around and sniffed the lotus's fragrance in the air for a while before it finally moved toward Yun Lintian's direction. Yun Lintian's framing trick failed to deceive the crocodile because he couldn't entirely erase his aura.

n...

nYun Lintian leaned on an ancient tree weakly. He knew it wasn't time to think about other things. He sat down on the ground and tried to replenish his profound energy.

n

"Eh? It's you!

" All of a sudden, a beautiful woman appeared behind a tree's shade and exclaimed in surprise when she saw Yun Lintian.

nYun Lintian's eyes snapped open, looking at the newcomer vigilantly.

"Who are you?

" He asked.

nThe beautiful woman laughed slightly when she saw his body tensed up. She introduced,

"My name is Hua Litong. Hua Wanru is my younger sister. I heard about you before. You are the one who gave her the detoxify prescription.

"

nYun Lintian didn't relax his guard down in the slightest. He nodded in reply and closed his eyes, continuing to replenish his profound energy.

nHua Litong was startled for a second. She began to doubt herself. Was she not beautiful enough? Why did Yun Lintian have no reaction and ignore her like this?

nHua Litong had a well-ratio shape of the face. Her eyes were clear as a spring, along with slightly arched eyebrows, cute nose, and cherry lips. She was undoubtedly a great beauty among her peers. Not to mention her well-developed body, especially in her chest area. She was even more beautiful than Hua Wanru in Yun Lintian's opinion.

nIt wasn't because Yun Lintian didn't want to converse with her, he just didn't bother to care about her at this moment.

nAlthough she was slightly dissatisfied, she wasn't an unreasonable person. She could see Yun Lintian had exhausted his energy and was trying to replenish it. Looking for a place to rest briefly, she walked to a flat boulder twenty meters away from Yun Lintian and sat down calmly, waiting for him.

nFive minutes later, Yun Lintian opened his eyes, taking another Energy Replenish Pill, and glanced at Hua Litong. He asked,

"Why do you have to suppress your strength when you can make a breakthrough into the Spirit Profound Realm a long time ago? It will easily cause damage to your Profound Vein, don't you know?

" Yun Lintian could perceive abundant energy within her body. It was evident she had suppressed her strength for a very long time.

nHua Litong smiled brightly:

"As expected from a genius doctor. You can tell it at a glance.

"

nYun Lintian rolled his eyes. Even a fool could see it. It had nothing to do with his medical skill at all.

nHua Litong's expression suddenly turned serious. She said further,

"I am worried about Wanru. That's why I have to do this and my decision is correct in the end. My goal for coming here is to kill Luo Kun. I heard you are also at odds with him. Why don't we team up together?

"
