A thief always has a guilty conscience, and this is true for everyone.
Being suddenly ambushed by a master in such a secret place, even Lin Qingtian felt extremely panicked for a moment.
Amidst the earth-shattering loud bang, Lin Qingtian and Yan Liqiang each flew backwards.
At this time, Yan Liqiang's wisdom was revealed. His target was the holy insect, but at this time, when he flew backwards, he did not fly towards the holy insect, but rushed towards the entrance of the cave. With the shout from his mouth, he gave Lin Qingtian the feeling that he wanted to block Lin Qingtian in this cave and beat the dog with the door closed.
When Lin Qingtian flew backwards, he chose the direction of the large water tank where the holy insect was. However, after hearing Yan Liqiang's words, Lin Qingtian, who had already been like a frightened bird, was instantly shocked...
Master, there must be someone outside, and they are lying in ambush, knowing that I will be here. If this disciple is so strong, then the master must be even more powerful. It is possible that he has other helpers. My original injuries have not been completely healed, and I was injured again by this blow just now. My internal organs have received a severe shock. If I encounter a strong person and am blocked in this cave, I will not be able to move freely and will be trapped in a jar. I am afraid...
These thoughts flashed through Lin Qingtian's mind. Before he could even get close to the large water tank that contained the holy insect, he stepped on the ground and suddenly changed direction. He rushed towards Yan Liqiang and shouted, "Who are you?" Then he punched him. In the entire cave, the air surged like a raging wave under Lin Qingtian's punch...
Yan Liqiang knew that Lin Qingtian was panicking. If he wasn't panicking, he wouldn't have asked himself this question. But at this moment, he couldn't retreat. Instead, he made a gesture as if he was going to block Lin Qingtian in the cave. Seeing Lin Qingtian punching him again, Yan Liqiang's eyes flashed. Although he didn't have a sword in his hand or on his body, a strong sword energy appeared on his body. In just a moment, the light and shadow of an extremely sharp sword appeared behind Yan Liqiang. Then Yan Liqiang was in that light and shadow, raising his palm as a sword. With a dazzling edge and sword energy, he turned into a sword and slashed at Lin Qingtian's fist. He wanted to entangle Lin Qingtian...
"Combined Sword Technique..." Lin Qingtian's expression suddenly changed. This combined sword technique is the unique skill of the Sword God Sect, one of the four major sects in the world, and it is well-known in the martial arts world. Yan Liqiang called him "Master" and used the combined sword technique with his hands. Naturally, Lin Qingtian thought that the person who was about to kill him outside the cave was from the Sword God Sect...
"Master, come quickly, he wants to escape..." Yan Liqiang shouted again in the cave, and transformed into a sword beam, flying around Lin Qingtian. He did not confront him head-on, but instead wanted to entangle Lin Qingtian.
Lin Qingtian was already extremely anxious. At this moment, there was a burst of screams and noises outside the cave. It seemed that there was some movement, and someone was shouting, "There's a fire..."
The noises and exclamations outside the cave reached Lin Qingtian's ears, making him even more certain that there might be some expert outside the cave that even the Ghost King would find it difficult to deal with.
"Boom..." Another loud noise...
In the midst of the change of tactics, Lin Qingtian seized the opportunity and knocked Yan Liqiang backwards with a punch. The black robe he was wearing was also shattered by the sword light of Yan Liqiang, revealing the cassock and monk's robe under the black robe. The two men changed their positions at once. Lin Qingtian rushed out of the cave without looking back, while Yan Liqiang was knocked backwards by Lin Qingtian towards the large water tank where the holy insect was...
"He's out, catch him..." Yan Liqiang roared and spit out blood. The moment he landed, he had already come to the big water tank. He grabbed the violin case-like box containing the "holy worm" that Lin Qingtian had brought before, then protected his hands with luck and gritted his teeth. He didn't care how disgusting the "holy worm" in the big water tank was or whether it would attack people. He directly picked up the sticky holy worm like a super sea cucumber from the big water tank at the fastest speed and threw it into the entrance of the rectangular box. He pressed the mechanism of the box with a snap and closed the box.
The box that looked like a violin case was very heavy. It was made of metal and weighed more than 100 kilograms. There were straps on the box so it could be carried directly on the body. Yan Liqiang grabbed the holy insect, put it into the box, then carried the box on his back and quickly rushed out of the cave. At this time, it was Yan Liqiang who was worried about being blocked in the cave.
Yan Liqiang had just fought with Lin Qingtian twice, and he was also injured, and the injury was not light. The Golden Bell Body Protection Divine Art, which he had already cultivated to the sixth level, played a huge role just now, digesting and dissolving most of the fatal punches that Lin Qingtian had used on him, just like giving Yan Liqiang half a life. In this case, Yan Liqiang, who was at the martial arts realm, was able to temporarily scare Lin Qingtian despite being separated by several major realms and having a huge gap in cultivation...
As soon as Lin Qingtian rushed out of the cave, he saw the Ghost King rushing towards the cave.
"Holy Lord, what's wrong with you? What happened in the cave?" The Ghost King was shocked when he saw the Holy Lord incarnated by Lin Qingtian rushing out spitting blood without even wearing a robe, and asked hurriedly.
"What happened outside?" Lin Qingtian asked quickly, still in shock.
"For some reason, a huge golden eagle fell from the sky just now, scratched a few of our people, and broke the pole at the gate of the house. It grabbed the string of lanterns on the pole and threw them onto the roof, making quite a noise..." the Ghost King replied quickly. He didn't know what happened in the cave. After the huge golden eagle flew away, he heard the noise from the cave and rushed over with Lu Tianxing and Situ Fei. He didn't expect that the Holy Lord himself ran out of the cave.
"No experts have invaded?"
"I didn't see anyone..."
Hearing the Ghost King's words, Lin Qingtian's face changed, and he immediately knew something was wrong...
"Oh no, I've been tricked..." Lin Qingtian yelled, turned around and rushed into the cave, but before he could reach the cave entrance, he saw Yan Liqiang rushing out of the cave like lightning, and in a flash, he flew out of the backyard, disappeared into the forest on the mountain outside, and rushed towards the mountain at a high speed...
On Yan Liqiang's back was the metal box containing the holy insect.
Lin Qingtian and the Ghost King both changed their expressions and quickly chased after him...
…
A few minutes later, at the top of Bijia Mountain...
The veil covering his face had fallen off during the pursuit, revealing Yan Liqiang's true identity as Sha Gen. He roared, turned around, protected the metal box with the holy insect on his back, and once again took Lin Qingtian's blow with his fists. Amidst the gushing blood, the sleeves of Yan Liqiang's hands were shattered, and his whole body was blasted away from the cliff more than thirty feet like a projectile shot from a slingshot, and fell towards the deep valley below like a meteor.
Just when Lin Qingtian, who was chasing Yan Liqiang, stopped at the edge of the cliff and watched Yan Liqiang fall from the sky, falling hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye, and thought that Yan Liqiang would fall to his death...
A cry of eagle echoed through the valley...
The falling Yan Liqiang was caught by the Fire-Eyed Golden Eagle. Yan Liqiang grabbed the two claws of a huge golden eagle and was caught by the Fire-Eyed Golden Eagle. Like the Fire-Eyed Golden Eagle's prey, he quickly flew away.
Lin Qingtian and the Ghost King roared, and a piece of stone beside them was instantly crushed like tofu. Then they shot two handfuls of gravel towards the huge golden eagle in the distance like bullets.
Yan Liqiang laughed loudly, stretched out his hand, took out a handful of copper coins and threw them at me...
The collision of stones and copper coins in the air produced a series of fire, smashing all the stones that were shot at it into pieces in the air. The Fiery-Eyed Golden Eagle flapped its wings again, flew far away, rose high, and merged into the night sky. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared in front of Lin Qingtian and the Ghost King...
