Chapter 132 Eagle's Sorrow Gorge 1
Chapter 132 Eagle's Sorrow Gorge 1
The surrounding scenery was like a phantom curtain, receding backward at an astonishing speed.
From high above, Kuang was like a bolt of lightning, leaving only a blurry afterimage in the air.
However, Kuang Zheng was still not satisfied with his speed.
Therefore, the spiritual energy in the body is constantly circulated at an accelerated rate, and as a result, the consumption of spiritual energy becomes faster and faster.
To make up for it, he stuffed the Spirit-Nourishing Pills in his hand into his mouth as if they were free.
As the elixir entered the body, powerful spiritual energy surged through the limbs and bones like a raging torrent, instantly causing the nearly depleted spiritual energy to surge to a whole new level!
This immense spiritual energy began to circulate wildly within his meridians, its speed exceeding all expectations, instantly reaching its limit.
The speed, which was already close to its limit, rose to another level.
Even so, Kuang Zheng was still filled with anxiety and unease.
Because of his keen senses, he clearly perceived that the "tail" behind him was always following him at a steady pace.
Ling Qi, who was hanging far behind him, appeared unusually calm at this moment.
He hung at a steady pace behind the enemy, neither speeding up to catch up nor slowing down to escape.
Always maintain a dangerous distance from the opponent, so as to exert maximum pressure on the enemy.
Chasing after Kuang Zheng was not a problem for him at all; he even had the energy to carry the two brothers, Zhu Lu and Zhu Shou, while chasing after him.
Zhu Fu, standing to the side, truly lived up to Zhu Xian's high regard for him.
Although he had only recently entered the fourth level, he was able to keep up with Kuang Zheng as he desperately fled.
Ling Qi also cast an approving glance at Zhu Fu's performance.
The sudden escape of these three despicable humans caused Ling Qi, who always held himself in high esteem, to feel utterly humiliated.
You must know, he's a top-tier expert at the fifth level!
Although it is only the initial stage of the fifth level, how could these mere fourth-level ants easily provoke and disobey it?
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Ling Qi's eyes, and he secretly vowed to give the humans in front of him an unforgettable lesson.
The fact that he didn't immediately surrender was already a huge offense to him!
What surprised him even more was that these arrogant fools actually dared to run away right in front of him!
This is really unreasonable!
This is intolerable!
At this moment, Ling Qi felt a surge of anger, as he felt he had been insulted and provoked like never before.
As he watched the humans begin to flee, he secretly swore an oath: no matter what, he would personally capture these three despicable humans one by one! When that time came, he would make them experience the power of "Seventh Master"!
"Hmph! Do you think you're so great just because you have a so-called innate physique?"
Ignorant child!
"Today, I'll show you arrogant fools the immense gap in strength between the fourth and fifth levels!" Ling Qi thought viciously to himself as he kept his eyes glued to the fleeing figure ahead.
Although Kuang Zheng seized the initiative with his quick thinking, how could such a little trick escape Ling Qi's hawk-like eyes?
Just as he issued the warning and then fled in a direction different from both of them without any hesitation, Ling Qi realized what was happening.
His first surprise was that the three of them would escape so readily.
The second unexpected thing was that Kuang Zheng actually survived his sneak attack. Not only did he survive, he even had the strength to escape!
Two miscalculations gave the three humans an opportunity to escape.
But he was, after all, an unparalleled master of the fifth level. Even though he almost lost track of the enemy by the time he reacted, he was still incredibly skilled.
However, in the face of absolute strength, the initiative can only be gained temporarily and will soon be offset by the opponent's strength!
This is why Ling Qi, who arrived later, was able to catch up quickly. He held back the weaker Zhu Lu, while the Zhu brothers, Zhu Shou and Zhu Lu, easily caught up with him.
Seeing Kuang Zheng's rapidly fleeing figure, Ling Qi was not in a hurry to capture him immediately.
He deliberately slowed down to keep a certain distance from Kuang Zheng, following him at a leisurely pace.
The reason for this was that he wanted to slowly wear down Kuang Zheng's physical and mental strength, like a cat toying with a mouse, so that Kuang Zheng would gradually perish in endless fear and despair.
Therefore, even though he could capture that despicable brat by simply speeding up, he remained completely unmoved.
On the contrary, he would adjust his own pace according to Kuang Zheng's running speed. Whenever Kuang Zheng sped up slightly, he would increase his speed just in time.
When his opponent's spiritual energy waned, he appropriately reduced his speed, thus maintaining a state of near-miss with his opponent.
He was determined to exhaust his opponent's energy and force the poor prey to surrender in utter despair.
Little did he know that all his calculations had fallen into the eyes of Kuang Zheng, who was fleeing at all costs. Upon seeing Ling Qi's actions, Kuang Zheng's eyes, which were originally filled with worry and concern, not only relaxed completely but also showed a hint of joy.
Those eyes clearly showed relief after the ordeal, and the smug satisfaction of a few who had succeeded in their wicked scheme...
And so, a chase and escape, each with their own hidden agendas, began...
Time slipped away quietly in the tense and exciting atmosphere, and before we knew it, a whole hour had passed.
Ling Qi, who was originally full of confidence, gradually began to waver as time went by.
At this moment, that confidence crumbled completely!
His emotions changed over time, gradually shifting from initial confidence to deep shock.
It should be noted that Zhu Fu, who was also a fourth-level expert, had already been unable to continue due to exhaustion three quarters of an hour earlier.
It should be noted that Zhu Fu is an outstanding individual among those at the initial stage of the fourth level.
However, incredibly, the seemingly ordinary human in front of them still maintained boundless energy and astonishing speed, as if he were tireless.
What's even more surprising is that the speed of their escape showed no signs of slowing down; in fact, it seemed to be increasing!
This is so bizarre and illogical!
"Could it be that the energy within this guy's body is as boundless as a vast ocean?"
The thought had barely crossed Ling Qi's mind when he quickly rejected it.
"How could such a thing happen? This is absolutely impossible!"
Ling Qi shouted loudly in the depths of her heart.
Let alone a mere fourth-level cultivator like him, even someone as noble as himself at the fifth level has a finite amount of energy within him; how could it be inexhaustible?
If that's the case, then the only reasonable explanation is that this kid must be carrying some kind of rare treasure that can continuously replenish his energy!
Only in this way can we explain why a human at the fourth level can possess such enormous energy.
The thought of this possibility caused Ling Qi's eyes, which were already filled with cunning and greed, to turn bloodshot instantly, like two gems burning with the flames of desire.
"Hehe, no wonder the lord was willing to go to any lengths to capture this kid alive. It turns out he was after this treasure on his person!" Ling Qi thought to himself.
After figuring out the key point, Ling Qi put the Zhu brothers down without hesitation, then increased his speed to the limit, and instantly sped forward like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the three brothers were left far behind. Ling Qi secretly vowed to capture this boy who possessed a great treasure and take that mysterious treasure for himself.
As Ling Qi's speed suddenly increased, the distance between the two shortened rapidly at an astonishing speed, like a lit fuse.
Kuang Zheng could clearly feel the pursuers approaching rapidly from behind. At this moment, he clearly felt the pressure from a fifth-level expert (equivalent to the Golden Core stage of a cultivator). The immense pressure felt like a mountain pressing down on him.
At this moment, Kuang Zheng was already exhausted. His spiritual energy was severely depleted due to the long escape. Although he had the Spirit Nourishing Pill to replenish it, it was ultimately not enough to keep up with the rate of consumption.
But faced with the ever-encroaching crisis, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and muster his last bit of strength.
He exerted all his strength to mobilize the little spiritual energy left in his body, frantically pushing it to its limit.
At the same time, he stuffed another handful of Spirit Nourishing Pills into his mouth. At this moment, he no longer cared about the problems caused by the sudden surge of spiritual energy in his body.
In an instant, his speed surged again, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky.
However, compared to Ling Qi, who was relentlessly pursuing them, correcting this insignificant improvement was of no use.
Despite his best efforts, the distance between the two continued to shrink.
Gradually, Kuang Zheng could even clearly see the other person's face, which was distorted by anger, and every muscle line seemed to be filled with murderous intent.
As the two sides drew closer, the situation became increasingly precarious and extremely critical!
At this critical moment of life and death, a huge, deep ravine suddenly appeared in front of them.
This deep ravine is like the gaping maw of the earth, stretching as far as the eye can see.
A thick layer of crimson mist permeated the ravine, creating a dreamlike and breathtakingly beautiful scene.
These crimson clouds intertwine and entwine, forming a magnificent yet mysterious picture.
Scattered around the crimson mist were countless wild beast bones of varying sizes.
The animal bones were either as white as jade or as black as ink, and some even shimmered with a strange light, making people feel a chill down their spines.
Just as Kuang Zheng was gazing at this bizarre scene, an astonishing thing happened—the originally calmly flowing crimson clouds suddenly seemed to be given life, and abruptly swept towards Kuang Zheng with menacing claws.
This sudden turn of events took Kuang Zheng by surprise, and an indescribable fear welled up in his heart.
He instinctively stopped in his tracks, staring wide-eyed at the overwhelming crimson clouds that surged in.
