Soon, Li Yan, who was flying, could see the rolling mountains in the distance with his eyes, like a crouching giant beast.
Behind, Wutu and the tall woman were about a thousand feet away from Li Yan, staring at Li Yan from a distance.
Wutu's face remained gloomy. He really failed to protect well this time. Master Tianshi must be extremely disappointed with his performance.
However, the reasons behind this are somewhat complicated, and even Master Tianshi himself might not be able to figure it out.
In addition to the fact that the other man and woman were very difficult to deal with and their methods were strange, another point was that Tielianggu had always been so arrogant on the Tianlan grassland.
Although there have been cases of strong counterattacks, the result was either that the opponent suffered a great loss and fled, or was killed.
Over time, even Wutu's vigilance faded a lot.
What he never expected this time was that the other party was actually a master who was proficient in illusion.
There are cultivators who practice illusion techniques, but those who can influence him are either soul cultivators who specialize in this field or cultivators who are stronger than him.
However, soul cultivators have always been extremely rare, perhaps only one in a hundred thousand. One needs to be born with an extremely powerful soul and have the opportunity to inherit the lineage of soul cultivators.
This kind of chance only happens once in a hundred years.
"That young man might be a soul cultivator!"
Soon, the group met Bart and his friends in the air.
"Your Excellency should be able to release us now. Let's just leave the matter here. Just leave our Tianlan Grassland. You will no longer be welcome guests on our grassland!"
Wutu spoke to Li Yan coldly. He never mentioned the fact that Li Yan had destroyed Tielianggu's body and his two concubines, as if it had never happened.
This is where Wutu's experience comes in. Mentioning such things will have no other result except making the other party alert.
Bart and Baru in front stared at the two people trapped in the middle with unfriendly faces. Junior Sister Tielianggu held a long whip in her hand, her aura slightly surging, and her beautiful eyes flashed with coldness.
Even if Tie Lianggu was nothing, he was still her senior brother, and she could teach him a lesson. If others touched him, it would be a contempt for the Tianlan clan.
Li Yan pinched the golden elixir between two fingers and looked ahead at Bart and Baru's back. Hundreds of miles away were continuous mountains.
"Yunlan Mountains!"
This was the information Li Yan obtained from soul searching. It lay between the Yunting Kingdom and the Tianlan Grassland, stretching over 300,000 miles, and did not belong to either of the two forces.
It is more like a buffer zone between Yunting Kingdom and Tianlan Grassland, with monsters, wild beasts, independent cultivators, and spies from both sides.
As long as Li Yan escapes into the mountains, it will be very difficult for the other party to find them.
There is a mixture of various auras in the mountains.
Whether it's the fight between monks or the fight between monks and monsters, it will cause fluctuations in spiritual power, forcing the pursuers to distract themselves to distinguish them one by one.
And there are some things that are even harder to guard against. The spies sent out by Yunting Kingdom and Tianlan Grassland will find the right time to attack and kill suspicious monks.
"Let's make way for it first!"
As soon as Li Yan and his friends arrived here, they were stopped by Bart and Baru.
"You two, step aside!"
Wutu waved at the two of them. He actually didn't care about Bart and Baru's interception. Now he was close enough to catch up with them easily.
By not asking Bart and the others to move aside, he was hinting to Li Yan and the others that this was the limit of where they could leave and they couldn't go any further.
Bart snorted heavily, and he and Baru each took a step to the side in the void, trying to create some distance.
Just as they moved, a light flashed in Li Yan's hand, and a golden light shot towards Wutu, and at the same time, he shouted softly.
“I caught it!!”
His action happened at the same time as Wutu was waving to the two people in front of him. Just as Bart and the other two turned sideways, Li Yan pulled Zhao Min, and his figure suddenly became blurred.
Before anyone else could react, it flashed past Bart and flew into the sky in an instant.
Wutu's spiritual sense had been locked on Li Yan. He had already sensed the aura of Tielianggu in the golden light flying towards him.
At the same time, he also sensed that Li Yan's body moved, but Wu Tu did not move. Instead, he stretched out his arm suddenly and grabbed the golden light in his hand.
Then he swept his spiritual sense and found that Tielianggu was just sealed inside.
Jindan's face showed an expression of exasperation, and his mouth was still saying something, but no sound could come out.
He crushed the seal without hesitation.
"Kill him, quick, kill him!"
Tielianggu's shrill voice suddenly came out, and of course he saw clearly that he had fallen into Wutu's hands.
He didn't need to say anything, murderous intent had already appeared on Wutu's old face.
As he crushed the seal, his body disappeared from the spot, and Tie Lianggu's junior sister also disappeared.
"Practice your Qi and see if there is any problem?"
While chasing, Wutu sent a message to Tielianggu again. He was still worried that the other party had tampered with Tielianggu's golden elixir.
"It's okay, I want to see him die..."
Tielianggu's somewhat hysterical voice just echoed in the air, and the next moment it stopped abruptly. His golden elixir was collected by Wutu into a bracelet on his wrist.
As long as Tielianggu's golden elixir was fine, he didn't want to listen to Tielianggu's chattering, which made him feel very annoyed.
Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet, and Wutu felt relieved. Now he could focus on dealing with the enemy.
At this time, only half a breath had passed and Bart and Baru had not yet taken their steps.
Li Yan pulled Zhao Min and appeared a hundred miles away. He suddenly used "Phoenix Soaring to the Sky" and his speed was astonishingly fast.
Zhao Min felt a tearing pain on her skin, and she was extremely surprised. According to her physical strength, even if she didn't use her magic power, she could resist ordinary magic weapons.
This shows how fast they are traveling through space in an instant and how great a burden this puts on their bodies.
Li Yan was also aware of Zhao Min's physical strength, so he did not remind her.
If it were a Jindan cultivator, his body would have been torn to pieces, or even his bones and tendons would have been broken after being pulled and tugged like this.
Just when Li Yan was about to move a few more times and enter the Yunlan Mountains, a sneer came to his ears.
"I didn't realize you had developed a set of powerful body movement skills. I almost let you escape. Go back now!!"
Immediately, Li Yan felt a slight breeze blowing over his head, followed by a huge force hitting his chest.
Li Yan suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him!
In the sudden change, Li Yan turned around without thinking, and he and Zhao Min disappeared again.
At such a fast speed, he suddenly changed direction, and the bones in his body made a series of crisp sounds like frying beans.
A pair of skinny, illusory giant palms suddenly pierced through the route that Li Yan had just taken, leaving a twisted white line in the space along the way. The white line then disintegrated after shooting several miles backwards.
Thirty feet away on one side, the figures of Li Yan and Zhao Min quickly solidified, and the two stood side by side.
The two looked to the front and side, and saw an old man with gray hair who was retracting his sleeves. The previous attack was made by him who instantly flew over their heads and chopped them down with a palm in the air.
"A strong person with wind attribute!"
Such a thought flashed through Li Yan and Zhao Min's minds.
They never imagined that the gray-haired old man who had been following Tie Lianggu leisurely was actually a rare wind-attribute cultivator.
Wind-attribute monks are incredibly fast in short distances, and can use the wind to fly over long distances, flying farther than monks of the same level.
With the help of the ubiquitous wind, even without practicing any physical skills, their speed amazed other cultivators.
When truly compared with wind-attributed cultivators, since the Immortal Dark Phoenix's strongest points are its speed and physical body, its innate magical power "Phoenix Soaring to the Sky" should be even stronger.
However, Li Yan had only absorbed two drops of essence and blood, and his cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Golden Core, so he could not truly display its power.
"You hurt a core disciple of my lineage, and you still want to leave?"
Wutu said with a gloomy face.
"I'm so unlucky. After all my planning, I actually met a wind-attribute expert who is also good at speed!"
Li Yan felt a little depressed. He didn't want to fight with anyone at all. He just wanted to trick the other party and then escape.
He had calculated very well. He had never used "Feng Chong Tian" before because he wanted to get rid of the opponent at the right distance.
Therefore, after running for so long, they had only created a distance of several hundred miles between them and the enemy.
Now that the Yunlan Mountains were in sight, he only needed a little more time to escape into them.
But in the end, he still underestimated the opponent's true strength and failed!
His spiritual sense sensed in the direction of the mountains, but to his disappointment, he only sensed the aura of some ordinary monsters and cultivators there.
It may be that the route he chose was too remote. The strength of the cultivators and monsters in the outskirts of the Yunlan Mountains in this direction was mediocre.
In this case, his plan to use some powerful people in secret to distract these people's attention would no longer work.
During this delay, three figures had already appeared behind Li Yan and the others. They were Junior Sister Tielianggu, Bart and Baru.
Before these people came closer, Li Yan and Zhao Min suddenly separated.
Li Yan quickly pounced on Wutu in front of him, while Zhao Min moved sideways and reached in front of Junior Sister Tielianggu who was chasing in the front.
"What a quick judgement! How many battles must one have gone through to have such a reaction!"
A thought flashed through Wutu's mind. The two men in front of him, whether it was the sneak attack on Tielianggu at the beginning, or the turning back attack after being intercepted now.
The timing is just right, it is the time when others are either distracted or have not yet established their footing.
Moreover, Li Yan and Zhao Min's faces were expressionless the whole time, and it was hard to tell much about their psychological changes. They seemed so calm.
"The most frightening thing is an enemy as quiet as a rabbit."
A sentence popular on the grassland flashed through Wutu's mind.
Li Yan suddenly appeared in front of Wutu. Facing Li Yan's approach, Wutu showed a hint of ridicule.
This should be a soul cultivator, who wanted to fight him in close combat. His consciousness never left Li Yan for a moment from beginning to end, just to prevent the other party from having the opportunity to set up an illusion.
"Are you planning to get closer and cast an illusion?"
Wu Tuan suddenly stretched out a pair of palms, which were instantly covered with fine black scales. The nails on the fingertips flashed coldly, like a pair of sharp eagle claws.
He slashed at Li Yan's chest from top to bottom, and as his dark fingertips passed through, streams of air shot out from between his fingers, making a sharp whistling sound.
If they caught him firmly this time, no one would doubt whether Li Yan could be disemboweled.
Wutu would not give Li Yan time to perform his magic.
Li Yan moved as fast as lightning, and his body passed through Wutu's claws in the nick of time.
As he passed by, he punched Wutu's ear from bottom to top.
Wu Tu didn't even blink, and when he missed his target, he bent his elbow and raised his arm diagonally, colliding with the back of Li Yan's fist.
"boom!"
An extremely dull sound exploded.
Li Yan's body was knocked upward by the opponent's elbow, and he flew diagonally.
