Dong Guo crawled up from the coffin. “An… Master, I’m fine now.”
His injuries had mostly recovered, and he was quite eager to stand up now as it would be another blow to his dignity if he were to lie down in a coffin while his master fought!
An Lin put away the Blood Soul Jade Coffin before turning to Dong Guo. “If a battle erupts, make sure to protect Da Bai.”
A sense of grief welled up in Dong Guo’s heart. A Return to Void Stage mighty figure like him had now been reduced to a dog’s bodyguard?
Soon, the three of them began to approach the battle. Vital energy surged here, and devastating spell techniques were being exchanged, creating terrifying shockwaves that laid waste to everything within a radius of close to ten kilometers around them.
An Lin finally caught sight of the people who were battling. There was the handsome and graceful Bai Pengzi of the Flying Divine Sect, the cold and forbidding Shuang Yukong of the Frosty Sun Immortal Sect, and Celestial Maiden Fei Ying of the Red Building Sect, who had a spot of cinnabar1 on her forehead.
Hmm, the three of them seemed to be fighting for something in an epic battle that rocked heaven and earth.
An Lin’s brows furrowed upon discovering the fact that the familiar aura he had detected did not seem to be present.
A white light glowed from the region in which they were battling, which created a natural barrier that prevented the shockwaves from the battle sweeping out any further than within the confinement of the barrier.
Within the center of the white light stood a huge black tree. Three fruits emanating snowy-white divine light were hung on the tree. Those fruits were definitely out of the ordinary; they were most definitely high-rank immortal fruits.
There was also a huge green python that was exuding a vast aura while hiding behind the tree. It was trembling uncontrollably as it surveyed the battle taking place not too far away from it.
Hmm, that huge python was most likely the guardian beast of the tree…
An Lin hadn’t even had a chance to settle into his seat as a spectator before the three people who were engaged in the battle noticed him. All three of them immediately stop battling as they turned scorching gazes upon him.
A deathly silence suddenly ensued.
“Er…
“Sorry for the intrusion, please continue,” An Lin said in an awkward voice.
All three of the mighty figures ignored him. They were staring at the box on An Lin’s back while their breathing accelerated.
An Lin swallowed before squeezing Da Bai’s sides with his legs. They had to run!
“Don’t let him get away!” Bai Pengzi transformed into a mighty bird with a wingspan of over a thousand feet before sweeping toward An Lin.
“Piss off! The phoenix egg is mine!” Shuang Yukong launched both palms as the air transformed into a realm of extreme frost. The biting chill restricted Bai Pengzi’s flight.
Celestial Maiden Fei Ying giggled seductively as flying flowers carved open a path for her in the realm of extreme frost, thereby allowing her to come to the forefront of the chasing party.
High-rank immortal fruits were nothing in the face of the phoenix egg!
All three of them instantly switched their target to An Lin.
Dong Guo almost pissed himself in fear upon seeing this. This was a hunting party of three Return to Void Stage mighty figures! Why was it that he would encounter such a dire situation immediately after joining An Lin’s party?!
“Dong Guo! Go hold them off!” An Lin yelled.
Tears flowed from Dong Guo’s eyes upon hearing this. “Master, I can’t!”
He was only a rookie Return to Void Stage cultivator; how was he going to hold off three veteran Return to Void Stage mighty figures?
He wouldn’t be able to hold them off even if he were to give up his life!
“What use do I have for you?” An Lin spat in a disdainful voice.
Dong Guo immediately grabbed onto Da Bai. “I can protect Da Bai!”
An Lin: “…”
Da Bai: “…”
An Lin’s impression of Dong Guo somehow managed to plummet even further.
However, he didn’t say anything. After all, he didn’t expect much from Dong Guo anyway.
Under normal circumstances, if a Return to Void Stage mighty figure was determined to run away, even Return to Void Stage mighty figures with superior cultivation bases would find it difficult to catch them.
However, it was quite clear that this didn’t apply to Dong Guo. Thus, the gap between An Lin’s party and the three Return to Void Stage mighty figures slowly began to dwindle.
An extremely seductive call sounded from behind him, “Sect Leader An Lin… don’t run so fast; wait for me…”
An Lin turned to find Celestial Maiden Fei Ying stepping toward him on a trail of flying flowers with a seductive expression on her face.
An Lin chuckled light. “Come chase me then. If you catch me, I’ll let you… hehehe…”
A light blush appeared on Celestial Maiden Fei Ying’s face as her eyes rippled like water. “Then sit tight and wait, I’ll be with you soon.”
She was just about to use a mystic technique to boost her speed when a snowball suddenly flew toward her.
An extreme sense of danger prompted her to unleash all her defensive abilities as countless flying flower petals created an extremely resolute barrier around her.
Boom!
The snowball suddenly glowed with a brilliant light as a devastating force imbued with the power of frost and ice burst forth, thereby freezing and detonating an area within a radius of five kilometers.
That was An Lin’s last Snow Explosion Orb.
The fearsome explosion swept Celestial Maiden Fei Ying, Bai Pengzi, and Shuang Yukong up as heaven and earth was transformed into a violent sea of blue energy.
All three of them were caught by surprise as the sea of blue energy engulfed them. Even if they weren’t wounded by this attack, it would at least slow them down.
It had to be said, the effects were quite apparent.
Celestial Maiden Fei Ying sustained some minor injuries while the other two mighty figures were knocked back.
An Lin took advantage of this opportunity to put a distance of several dozen kilometers between them and himself.
“Hehe… you’re ten thousand years too early to catch me!” An Lin turned to the three disheveled mighty figures behind him with a taunting smile as he said, “In this world, the only person that can catch me is Xiaolan!”
Dong Guo was shocked to hear this. “Who is this Xiaolan? How are they so powerful?!”
“Xiaolan is Big Brother An’s dao partner-to-be, woof!” Da Bai interjected.
Dong Guo: “…”
So that was what An Lin meant?
Rumble…
A cloud of golden energy suddenly swept toward An Lin.
This cloud of golden energy had assumed an extremely peculiar shape, and the three of them couldn’t help but falter at the sight of it.
This was an adorable round face upon which was etched a proud smile and a pair of red cheeks, which gave one a sense of infinite warmth. There was also a pair of joyful eyes under light, elegant brows.
“What the f*ck?!”
An Lin felt like he had seen a ghost! One of those comical faces in the sky was crashing down toward him.
“Wait! Look above the face; it’s Duan Hunzi of the Life Harvesting Sect!”
An Lin focused his gaze above the face, and sure enough, Duan Hunzi was standing atop the comical face.
Duan Hunzi had his chest puffed out with pride and triumph as he swept down toward them.
An Lin’s expression darkened as tens of thousands of mythological beast stampeded over his heart.
What the hell was wrong with this guy? What was there to be so triumphant about just because he was standing atop a comical face?!
“Oh? If it isn’t Sect Leader An Lin! Hahaha… As expected, even my luck has improved after adopting the smile of the Death God! If the phoenix egg is going to offer itself up to me like this, then don’t mind if I do!” Duan Hunzi’s voice was as loud as thunder as he abruptly swept down toward An Lin atop the comical face.
An Lin’s chest constricted upon hearing the term “the smile of the Death God”. Did this guy have some sort of misunderstanding about these comical faces?
However, he didn’t have time to think about this as he immediately turned and fled in another direction.
Cold sweat was beginning to pour from An Lin’s forehead.
Aside from Duan Hunzi, the other three mighty figures were quickly gaining on him.
He was being pursued by four Return to Void Stage mighty figures now, and he would be screwed if he didn’t find some allies soon!
