Chapter 435 Why won't you answer me?
Chapter 435 Why won't you answer me?
Nangong Lie's expression changed immediately upon seeing the sudden punch. He quickly retreated to the side, seemingly having no intention of getting entangled with Ding Yi at all.
Ding Yi watched the man's decisive retreat, then took out the Quicksand Map and glanced at it before letting out a cold laugh and continuing to flee towards the outer perimeter.
This is not the time to waste chasing after someone. The safest approach is to leave the forest first and then wait outside.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi took a deep breath, then his figure flashed and he rushed towards the outside of the forest.
In another part of the forest, several cultivators from the Immortal Alliance gathered together, their faces grim as they looked at the corpse that had been cut in two at their feet.
"Looks like we've been tricked."
“Someone used us to infiltrate Changqingzi’s lair.”
"This person is very likely the pharmacist who created Huangzi!"
"The magical ability to transmit messages between this forest and the palace has stopped working; it seems someone has cast a spell to block it."
"Let's go! Let's get outside first!"
The group exchanged a few words quickly, then rushed out of the forest. Their minds were completely filled with Chang Qingzi's name, and they had no time to think about anything else.
They had to send the message out as quickly as possible so that the powerful figures in their Immortal Alliance would descend.
Just then, a strange voice suddenly came from above everyone's heads.
"Little kids, where are you going?"
The group was taken aback by what they heard. When they looked up, they found an old man in a blue robe standing on a tree branch high up in the sky.
The old man had an unusually large forehead, arms that reached his knees, and a short stature, making him look quite strange.
All of them were experts on the Hidden Dragon List, so their reactions were naturally swift.
One of them opened his mouth and spat out a beam of white light at the old man, while the other two retreated rapidly. Clearly, the three of them had made sending the message their primary objective and had no intention of wasting time on this.
The two who fled were incredibly fast, almost turning into a streak of white light in the forest, but before they could run very far, they suddenly heard that strange voice again.
"Hehehe, after all these years, the people of the Immortal Alliance are still such useless trash."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure was thrown onto the open ground in front of the two of them.
The two men looked closely and their expressions changed drastically. A chill ran down their spines, and they stood there, too afraid to move.
The dark figure that fell to the ground was a blood-stained head with a ferocious expression, seemingly extremely unwilling before its death. Even so, they recognized the person as the cultivator who had just blocked the old man for them.
Wang Qiliang, a True Person of the Immortal Alliance's Palace of All Things, ranked second to ninth on the Hidden Dragon List!
"Impossible! This person is definitely not a Venerable, yet Fellow Daoist Wang was instantly killed?!"
The two looked on in horror at the strange old man who slowly walked out of the woods ahead; their hearts sank to the bottom.
"Hehehe, I am Yuan Huaji, an elder of Changqing Palace."
"You don't need to worry, I will send you down in a moment and keep that guy company."
Yuan Huaji licked his lips excitedly, looking at the two people in front of him as if they were two lambs to the slaughter.
Even a True Person Realm expert on the Hidden Dragon Ranking is nothing more than a minor character to be easily killed in this person's eyes.
"Impossible! There's no one named you on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!!"
One of them looked at Yuan Huaji and roared in terror.
"Hidden Dragon Ranking? Heh heh heh, what kind of bullshit ranking is this? When I was dominating this world, you so-called geniuses were probably still somewhere sucking up ascension pills!"
Yuan Huaji looked at the two people in front of him and said disdainfully.
As an elder of Changqing Palace, he was already a renowned True Person Realm expert hundreds of years ago. However, back then, in order to revive the Changqing Ancestor, he willingly followed Duanmu Qing and hid in the Chaotic Land.
Upon hearing this, the two cultivators exchanged a glance and then, in perfect unison, fled in two different directions.
They knew that the longer they stayed in the forest, the worse it would be for them. They needed to escape the forest as soon as possible so that they could fight with all their might.
Yuan Huaji looked in the direction the two had fled, and a sickly smile appeared on his lips.
"After all these years, these people from the Immortal Alliance still have this little strength. They don't even have the courage to face me directly."
As Yuan Huaji spoke, his figure blurred, and he transformed into a streak of white light, chasing after one of the fleeing individuals.
On the other side, Ding Yi was moving at lightning speed, sprinting through the forest at almost teleportation speed.
Soon, he saw a light coming from the woods several miles away.
Coming!
Ding Yi was overjoyed and couldn't help but speed up, but the next moment his brow twitched and he froze in place.
An old man appeared in front of him at some point.
The old man had unusually long arms and a pale face, but his eyes were filled with evil intent. What surprised Ding Yi even more was the several human heads that the man was carrying.
These heads clearly belonged to the Immortal Alliance, since their level of mutation was not that strong. Some of them even had fair skin, as if they were killed in one move without even having time to react.
“Truly remarkable. I haven’t traveled outside for hundreds of years, and yet such a genius as you has emerged.”
The old man's eyes roamed over Ding Yi's body, and he uttered sounds of satisfaction and praise.
"Meat of this quality must taste amazing! I'm so drooling!"
The old man drooled as he spoke.
Ding Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the old man's sickly appearance, then took out the Flowing Sand Diagram from his pocket and glanced at it.
Just then, a sinister voice suddenly appeared in Ding Yi's ear:
What are you looking at? Let me see it.
Ding Yi's gaze darkened, and he casually stuffed the quicksand map into his robes. Turning to the old man who had suddenly appeared beside him, he said:
"Your meat looks dry, I don't like it, that's a shame."
The old man was naturally Yuan Huaji. Upon hearing Ding Yi's words, he was first taken aback, then slapped his thigh and let out an excited shout:
"This is hilarious! You're absolutely hilarious! I've decided, I'll break all four of your limbs first, and then eat you last!!"
"Jie Jie Jie!!!"
As soon as Yuan Huaji finished speaking, he suddenly found a hand appear on his head and then slammed him hard to the ground.
Boom! !
A massive explosion rang out instantly. Ding Yi stood there, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, one hand pressing down on Yuan Huaji's head, letting out a wild roar:
"I told you, your meat is tough! Don't you understand?!"
"Don't you have any manners?! Shouldn't you be explaining why you're using firewood?!"
"Damn it!! I hate rude old bastards like you the most!! Damn it!!
As Ding Yi finished speaking, he frantically punched Yuan Huaji on the ground with both fists. Five-colored divine light burst forth from his body, making the beast tattoo on his chest look like a demon.
