2111 Cat and Mouse?
“Heavens, that person’s movement technique is so fast!”
“He managed to escape just like that?”
“It’s not that easy. The toll on him after releasing so many divine powers and secret skills is unimaginable. If they continue hunting him, he will die the moment his Essence Qi is depleted!”
This time round, the millions of cultivators on Coiling Dragon Mountain Range were attracted by the scene in the valley.
Out of sympathy for the weak, many cultivators were secretly nervous and worried for Su Zimo.
In midair, Heaven Abyss shook his head. “This can’t continue. This area is filled with forests and shrubs. He can’t release his speed and won’t be able to escape the pursuit of Lie Feng and the others completely.”
Right then, Su Zimo, who was in the valley, suddenly transformed after turning around the foot of a mountain. He shrank into a tiny ant and crawled slowly through the cracks of the rocks.
“72 Transformations?”
Yang Ruoxu frowned slightly and murmured.
This choice was a little risky.
If he used the 72 Transformations and transformed into flora or insects, he could naturally hide his tracks. However, it also meant that he would lose his previous burst speed.
After transforming into an ant, he had to crawl on the ground like the other ants.
Once seen through, it was equivalent to no way out and he would fall into danger once more!
Before long, Lie Feng and the others caught up to this place but realized that they had lost track of Su Zimo completely.
“What happened?”
Someone asked.
Lie Feng frowned and said deeply, “There’s no way he could have escaped so quickly. Search carefully and see if he’s hiding nearby!”
Everyone released their spirit consciousnesses hurriedly and scanned the vicinity carefully, not missing any birds, beasts, flora or insects.
However, no one discovered Su Zimo’s location.
During this period of time, the spirit consciousnesses of cultivators swept past the ant that Su Zimo transformed into but they did not notice anything unusual.
Under normal circumstances, if Su Zimo used the greater divine power, the 72 Transformations, although he transformed into an ant, he would definitely reveal an opening with traces of divine powers and aura.
However, Su Zimo was using the Trinity Auspicious Jade right now!
His transformation could practically hide from the entire world!
After lingering for a long time, more than a hundred cultivators caught up to them but Lie Feng and the others could not find Su Zimo.
“Leader Lie Feng, that person must have escaped far away,”
Someone said.
Lie Feng cursed, “How unlucky. Where did this lad come from? I was a little careless! If we meet again, I’ll definitely not let him off!”
“What should we do now?”
Another person asked.
“Let’s leave this place first,”
Glancing into the distance, Lie Feng seemed wary as he waved his hand and left with the hundred-odd cultivators. Before long, the forest returned to normal.
Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.
Millions of cultivators watched everything with dumbfounded expressions.
When Lie Feng and the others searched the area earlier on, everyone could clearly see through the water barrier that the ant that Su Zimo conjured was not far away from Lie Feng and the others.
However, both parties passed just like that.
Many cultivators heaved a sigh of relief.
This outcome had not only exceeded the expectations of the millions of cultivators in the mountain range, even the cultivators of the four immortal sects in midair were surprised.
Making a move to break out of the encirclement, dodging the killing dangers, knocking away the assassin who was lying in ambush, obtaining the Coiling Dragon Badge and eventually hiding from the entire world…
His series of actions felt astonishing even at this point.
Not only did that person who was bound to die not die, he even obtained a Coiling Dragon Badge!
This also meant that as long as this person was careful, he could at least survive in the valley.
“Not bad,”
Heaven Abyss nodded slightly.
Although Heaven Abyss did not say much, it was already rare for him to give such praise.
Yang Ruoxu nodded as well. “Everything else aside, that reaction and judgment is enough to tell that this lad’s talent is indeed extraordinary.”
No one outside the valley knew that the methods displayed by Su Zimo were merely the tip of the iceberg!
Or rather, it could not even be considered as the tip of the iceberg!
“What a pity,”
Heaven Immortal White Sea shook his head and chuckled. “That person will still be eliminated.”
“Why?”
Heaven Immortal Green Peak asked.
“Look, who’s that?”
Heaven Immortal White Sea pointed at a figure not far away from Su Zimo on the water barrier.
Everyone looked and saw that the figure was dressed in red martial arts attire. She wore red cloud boots and rode on a sword. The ponytail behind her head fluttered slightly—it was one of the strongest Earth Immortals in the Immortal Sect Selection this time round, Princess Scarlet Rainbow!
Yang Ruoxu shook his head gently with a look of pity. “This person’s luck is bad. Right after he got out of the encirclement of those wolves, he’s now targeted by Scarlet Rainbow.”
Heaven Immortal White Sea smiled. “After more than half a year of observation, among the remaining Earth Immortals, Princess Scarlet Rainbow is number one in terms of movement technique speed!”
“No matter how fast this person is, he can’t compare to Princess Scarlet Rainbow. We’ll be able to watch a good show of cat and mouse soon.”
…
Coiling Dragon Valley.
A long time after Lie Feng and the others left, the ant that Su Zimo transformed into reverted to his human form and revealed his sickly young man appearance.
At the same time, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he looked in another direction.
A red light was speeding over from the other side and arrived before him in the blink of an eye. It paused in midair and looked down at Su Zimo.
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
Earlier on, he sensed that someone was spying in the vicinity as well.
Because it was only a single person, he was not bothered and was prepared to snatch the person’s Coiling Dragon Badges.
However, he had not expected that this was one of the strongest Earth Immortals in the valley, Princess Scarlet Rainbow!
Princess Scarlet Rainbow was a Grade 9 Earth Immortal. Even if she could not compare to Yun Ting, her talent and combat strength would not be bad.
Furthermore, there was a difference of three cultivation realms between them. If they were to fight, it would be troublesome and he would have to expose too much.
“Hehe,”
Just as Su Zimo was pondering, Princess Scarlet Rainbow suddenly laughed. “You sure are bold. A Grade 6 Earth Immortal dares to take part in the Immortal Sect Selection and even transformed into a little bug to avoid a calamity.”
Princess Scarlet Rainbow had witnessed everything earlier on.
The reason why Lie Feng and the others left so quickly was because they sensed her existence.
“Hand your Coiling Dragon Badges to me and I won’t hurt you,”
Princess Scarlet Rainbow chuckled. “You look sickly. If I attack casually, you might die.”
Expressionlessly, Su Zimo cupped his fists. “Pardon me for not complying.”
With that said, Su Zimo did not waste his breath and turned to flee, releasing Boundless Golden Light, Heavenly Feet, Ethereal Wings, Zephyr Thunder Wings and many other divine powers and secret skills!
He pushed his speed to its limits right away!
“Hehe,”
Princess Scarlet Rainbow could not help but laugh. “Interesting, interesting. To think that you want to compete in speed with me! If I can let you escape, I’ll be damned!”
As she said that, Princess Scarlet Rainbow rode on her flying sword and transformed into a scarlet streak of light, chasing after Su Zimo.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow long had enough Coiling Dragon Badges. After spending more than half a year in the valley, she was already getting tired of killing.
Now that a puny Grade 6 Earth Immortal wanted to compete in movement techniques with her, she felt that it was extremely interesting.
The corners of Princess Scarlet Rainbow’s mouth curled up slightly as she revealed a smile. A mocking look flashed through her eyes as she decided to have fun with this puny Grade 6 Earth Immortal.
