Chapter 124: Brother Xu, hurry up and leave!
The rainy season continued, and after a while, the remaining rain gradually decreased, usually with just a small shower, as if reluctant to leave.
Su Ming had already gotten used to the humid and misty weather here, no longer feeling uncomfortable like he did a few years ago when he first arrived. Fang Mu's father returning the Bone Knife verified Su Ming's guess, which gave him a thrill in his heart. This thrill actually gave Su Ming his first sense of confidence in this unfamiliar land.
From drawing out Fang Mu, to exchanging the knife for goods, and finally returning the knife, this seems ordinary, but in fact it is Su Ming's clever plan, step by step, opening up his own momentum from unfamiliarity. He had a brief exchange with Fang Mu's father, based on guessing his cultivation level.
Su Ming expressed appropriate goodwill, Fang Mu's father returned the Bone Knife, which was a response to Su Ming's goodwill and also a kind of recognition.
Although the knife is not expensive, its inner meaning is different.
Sheathed the sword into the broken pocket, Su Ming quietly descended, in his own cave, continuously tempered himself, and his cultivation was strengthened step by step in stability.
In the mountains, time flies by in a flash, and several months have passed. Su Ming's physical strength has increased to 260 blood lines. On this day, he sat cross-legged in the cave, his body radiating a bloody glow. Seven misty dragons emerged from his seven orifices, swirling around his head.
It wasn't long before the seven misty dragons that were swirling together suddenly shook violently, as if they had encountered something, and in an instant, with a loud crash, they collapsed on Su Ming's head, dispersing into countless fine threads, causing Su Ming to open his eyes abruptly.
A look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and his right hand quickly lifted up in the midst of the scattered mist threads, grabbing fiercely. The mist threads paused for a moment as they rolled, then converged together, gathering in Su Ming's right hand, slowly merging into his palm, and finally disappearing without a trace.
Su Ming's face was gloomy, and he slowly stood up. With a flash of movement, he exited the cave and stood at the entrance. At this moment, the sky had darkened, and the bright moon hung high in the air. However, there were thin clouds and mist present, making the earth appear hazy under the moonlight.
Su Ming stood there motionless, but his expression grew increasingly solemn. The blood and energy in his body seemed to be out of control, showing signs of reversal. His hair was blown forward, not backward, as if something strange was pulling it from the depths of the dark sky. On the ground, the sand and stones that had been soaked in water were now slowly moving under the ripples of the accumulated water, making a rustling sound as they moved forward. Some rotten branches also suddenly floated up, eerily swirling in the air without wind, and rose into the sky.
Su Ming's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, his subtle technique enveloping his entire body, suppressing the turmoil of his internal energy and blood. He stared at the distant sky, his expression solemn and contemplative.
"This is Kai Chen Jing displaying his brutal skills! Moreover, the distance should not be far, otherwise, I wouldn't have felt it so clearly here."
As Su Ming was deep in thought, a low rumble suddenly came from the distant sky, and this thunderous sound was like a sudden clap of thunder on this dark night, stirring up waves of echoes.
Immediately afterwards, a long rainbow tore through the sky, in a place relatively far from Su Ming, towards the back of this rainforest mountain range, and galloped into the endless mountains.
That direction is the real depths of this rainforest, Su Ming had been there once before, but the humidity there was several times that of the outside, and it didn't change with the seasons. As a result, a breath of air that would make people feel nauseous and uneasy as soon as they smelled it was formed. If one stayed for a slightly longer period of time, their blood circulation would be affected, and there were also highly toxic substances present.
So Su Ming only went once and then stopped in his tracks, no longer taking it lightly.
At this moment, the long rainbow was rushing forward, and inside it, there was a figure. The figure's appearance couldn't be seen clearly, but the light of the long rainbow had dimmed, obviously this person had reached the end of their journey, and while moving forward, they spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood.
A faint, almost imperceptible aura of dust-like energy emanated from the figure, extremely unstable, causing Su Ming to have a fleeting illusion that this person was sometimes at the Congealing Blood Peak and sometimes at the Opening Dust Initial Stage.
"This is...!" Su Ming's eyes flashed, his entire person suddenly cold and detached, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed. His right hand rose in front of him and swung down, instantly dispersing the Moon Wing Soul, enveloping the surroundings.
Almost at the same time as Su Ming's action, a long rainbow suddenly appeared in the depths of the sky that day. The long rainbow seemed to be shrouded in thick fog and was galloping rapidly. Inside it stood a figure whose face could not be seen clearly, but the killing intent emanating from him was completely unmasked.
As he sped through the sky, his right hand rose, pointing towards Su Ming in the distance. He had been chasing and killing all along, but it wasn't easy. Annoyed and frustrated, he encountered a few people on the way, who were killed by him without hesitation, taking their vital energy to make the black fog under his feet move even faster.
Su Ming's existence, even when he was in that cave earlier, actually had some perception. In his opinion, a mere seventh-layer Blood Condensation warrior like him could be killed as easily as crushing an ant, and he didn't even need to use his full strength, just a single finger would suffice to take his life.
Just as his finger was about to fall, the person on the black fog suddenly changed his expression. He clearly felt that Su Ming on the mountain below had a feeling of existence outside his body in this instant, which made him feel shocked in his heart.
After this shock, he didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he coldly hummed and withdrew his finger, focusing all his thoughts on the person escaping in front of him, pursuing them relentlessly.
Su Ming stood there, his forehead sweating profusely, his face slightly pale, but his eyes were calm like an ancient well. Just now, if he hadn't reacted quickly and deployed the Moon Wing Soul to shock and awe, he feared that the person in the black fog would have pointed at him with one finger, causing Su Ming to suffer an unexpected disaster. Although it wouldn't be life-threatening, it would still be troublesome.
"He's Xuan Lun!" Su Ming took a deep breath, his eyes flashing. He couldn't recognize the other party's identity at first, but that cold hum was familiar to Su Ming. The impression of Xuan Lun in Yuan Mountain City was extremely profound and had been etched in his mind forever.
"He's being chased by someone, and there's an 80% chance it's He Feng!" Su Ming fell silent, his gaze fixed on the depths of the rainforest in the distance. Clearly visible between the two long rainbows was a rapidly narrowing distance, followed by a deafening crash, obviously the two were engaged in a life-and-death battle.
"Heavenly Wind has actually broken through! I originally saw this person being taken away by Han Fei, didn't expect to see him again here, not only was he being pursued and killed by Xuan Lun, but also had a breakthrough... No wonder Xuan Lun could pursue and kill all the way here, if Heavenly Wind hadn't broken through, it's likely that he would have fallen along the way." Su Ming's expression was gloomy, this matter originally had nothing to do with him, but the place where these two were chasing each other was precisely this rain forest, just look at Xuan Lun's overbearing manner, if not for Su Ming's quick reaction, it would be hard to avoid being drawn into it.
" Forget it, can't stay here any longer... " Su Ming sighed quietly, his body swayed and quickly returned to the cave, putting all things into the damaged pocket immediately, and rushed out of the cave, rushing towards the rain forest at the foot of the mountain.
"Even if He Feng makes a breakthrough, judging from his appearance, he's no match for Xuan Lun. If Xuan Lun kills him and leaves, that's fine, but if he turns back to look for me... this matter can't be gambled with." Su Ming made up his mind, his figure rapidly dashing through the rain forest, secretly deciding to head to Andong Department ahead of time.
"Although I will put down my spear, it will still affect the fish in the pond." Su Ming's heart was quite depressed. Clearly, he had nothing to do with this matter, but he would be implicated nonetheless. This rainforest was a natural barrier, and inside it grew many medicinal herbs. Su Ming couldn't help but feel reluctant to leave.
"Wait and avoid this event, maybe I can still come back..." Su Ming suppressed the thought in his mind as he rushed forward. He had some understanding of Xuan Lun's character from what had just happened, and it was clear that he was a moody person.
Right in the midst of galloping, behind Su Ming's back, a thunderous roar continued to reverberate, and there was also a faintly transmitted mournful howl that spread.
"This is a bit strange, this rainforest is so big and there are many places to go around it, why did the wind come here specifically? Hopefully it's just a coincidence." Su Ming's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"If it's not a coincidence, then the wind must have deliberately led Xuan Lun here. Could there be some variable that benefits him in this place?" Su Ming thought deeply but couldn't understand, and quickened his pace to leave this place of right and wrong behind.
Just then, in the depths of the rainforest behind him, a loud rumbling sound echoed through, and a urgent voice suddenly rose up. This voice was obviously transmitted using a special barbaric technique, carrying a penetrating force that could spread out over a great distance, enough to allow Su Ming, who was far away on the battlefield, to hear it.
"I'll hold off the Dark Wheel, Brother Xu... hurry! And as for the matter entrusted to me by someone, the location of the hidden object is my repayment to you, Brother Xu!" The voice echoed and enveloped the surroundings at the same time, but it did not spread too far, instead directly pointing to where Su Ming was rushing to at this moment.
"Huh? A minor skill!" Xuan Lun, who was fighting with He Feng in the depths of the rainforest, heard this and flashed his eyes, continuing to attack with a cold smile. However, his right index finger suddenly lifted up, pointing towards Su Ming's location far away from here.
Under his finger, the black fog around him suddenly twisted and turned into a ferocious ghost face, roaring straight towards Su Ming's direction and flying quickly over.
Su Ming's eyes flashed with a murderous intent as he ran, and at this moment, he had already reacted to the sinister and ruthless nature of the gentle breeze that was forcing him to make a move.
Otherwise, even if one leaves, it is hard to escape being hunted down.
This speech has too many flaws, but Su Ming is well aware of it. He doesn't care about the flaws in his words at all; he just wants to let Xuan Lun hear them. In this way, even if Xuan Lun knows that 90% of what he said is false, he will still come after him with suspicion and kill him afterwards.
"Despicable!" Su Ming clenched his fists, everything had been relatively smooth since he arrived in this unfamiliar place, although caution and vigilance always existed, but still differed greatly from those old and cunning ones.
Su Ming's head whipped back, and behind him, the sharp whistling sound grew louder as the black mist transformed into a ghostly face with a ferocious expression, closing in on him to within less than a hundred zhang.
