Chapter 4189: Seize the Chance
Feng Xiao Xiao’s comprehensive strength might not be the strongest among the imminent Supreme Gods in the Southern Heaven Continent, but he was definitely among the fastest. Now that he had fled with the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus, there was only a number of people who were able to catch up to him. As time passed, even the number of these people dwindled.
“Damn it!”
“Feng Xiao Xiao hid his strength really well!”
“To think that his law of wind has reached such a level!”
!!
The expressions of those who were left behind were dark as they watched Feng Xiao Xiao leave like the wind on his sword.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
One after another, those, who had still been hiding, showed themselves. They flew out and joined the others to chase after Feng Xiao Xiao.
However, despite being chased from all sides, Feng Xiao Xiao did not stop to fight. He continued to flee, dodging the attacks. His speed was so fast that he easily avoided most of the attacks.
The Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus shone brightly in Feng Xiao Xiao’s hand, further provoking the advanced Emperors of Gods chasing after him and causing their expressions to turn green with envy.
“Feng Xiao Xiao, as the son of the Lord of the Windchime Divine Kingdom, is running away the only thing you know how to do?”
“Feng Xiao Xiao, you can’t escape!”
“Is there anyone who specializes in imprisonment type of law? Hurry up and imprison him!”
The advanced Emperors of Gods were furious. Some of them, who comprehended the law of space, tried to use the space to confine Feng Xiao Xiao, but the sword that Feng Xiao Xiao stood on easily helped him to escape. This was because the advanced Emperors of Gods were weaker than him, who was an imminent Supreme God.
There were also advanced Emperors of Gods who combined their Divine Energy with the law of earth to form rock prisons. Alas, it took too long for them to form the rock prisons so Feng Xiao Xiao was able to flee unimpeded.
It was obvious that Feng Xiao Xiao came prepared.
When some people used their Formation compasses, they discovered that the speed of the Formation compasses had slowed down greatly. It was likely that the speed decrease was caused by something that Feng Xiao Xiao carried on him that could affect the speed of the Formation compasses.
Perhaps, one might wonder why Feng Xiao Xiao did not directly consume the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus, and in turn, stop the others from chasing after him. After all, with the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus gone, many people would definitely give up on chasing after him. There was no point in chasing after him or killing him if the lotus was gone; they only wanted the lotus, and it did not matter if they killed him or not. However, he did not directly consume the lotus because after the lotus reached full maturity, it would be inedible for a day and a night.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Feng Xiao Xiao was like a slippery loach as he dodged the attacks from the group of advanced Emperors of Gods. Soon after, he escaped the siege and continued to fly forth. As time passed, he slowly left the others behind.
Finally, the last person who was chasing after Feng Xiao Xiao came to a stop and stared at his back unwillingly. After a moment, that person turned around and left.
With this, a joyful expression on the face of Feng Xiao Xiao, who was far ahead. However, he did not stop and continued to flee.
“The Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus is mine! Fortunately, I didn’t bother attacking earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to gain any advantage from my speed at all. It’s also because I hid my strength in the past. If the others were aware of my strength, the moment I appeared, the other imminent Supreme Gods would’ve stopped fighting immediately and targeted me. It’s because they underestimated me that I had time to escape. This is the reason for my success!”
Feng Xiao Xiao was in an incomparably good mood at this time. He knew that his success this time was also due to his good luck.
Among the imminent Supreme Gods present earlier, none of them were very fast. Moreover, among those who chased after Feng Xiao Xiao earlier, none of them were imminent Supreme Gods. Since he wisely chose not to engage in a fight with them, he easily escaped from them.
Feng Xiao Xiao continued to fly, covering a huge distance and changing directions a few times. After a while, he gradually slowed down as the smile on his face widened.
“It should be safe now, right?”
Finally, Feng Xiao Xiao had the chance to take a good look at the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus in his hand.
“The Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus… This is a treasure! What a shame that I can’t consume it now. I guess I have no choice but to wait…”
Feng Xiao Xiao’s smile seemed to be etched on his face. He was not in a hurry to put the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus in his spatial ring even though he would only be able to consume it after a day and a night.
Swish! Swish!
At this moment, Feng Xiao Xiao’s ears suddenly twitched. He might not be able to detect the subtle changes in the distance, but it was naturally not a problem for him to sense the changes in his surroundings. His expression changed drastically as soon as he detected the imperceptible change. His Divine Energy surged immediately as he cast the law of the wind, intending to flee again.
Bang!
However, just as Feng Xiao Xiao began to flee, he was stopped by an invisible barrier that suddenly appeared. He quickly switched directions, but he found that he still could not leave. He did not bother trying to leave now. Instead, he cast the law of the wind and attacked. The wind raged around him, and soon enough, he found that he had been trapped in a box-shaped barrier, which kept his attacks inside.
“I’ve been trapped by an imminent Supreme God who comprehends the law of space! No, wait… This Divine Energy belongs to an… intermediate Emperor of Gods?”
Feng Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes when he discovered that the barrier contained the Divine Energy of an intermediate Emperor of Gods. Soon after his revelation, a figure belonging to an intermediate Emperor of Gods who comprehended the law of space appeared in his mind.
“Duan Ling Tian…” Feng Xiao Xiao said in a deep voice. At the same time, he probed his surroundings with his Divine Consciousness.
Just as Feng Xiao Xiao’s Divine Consciousness was about to sweep through a specific area nearby, a purple figure descended from the sky.
The purple figure belonged to a handsome young man with a serene expression on his face.
Feng Xiao Xiao, who was not in the mood to appreciate the young man’s good looks, asked with a dark expression on his face, “You followed me all the way here?”
Feng Xiao Xiao did not know much about Duan Ling Tian beyond what he had heard. Previously, he had taken a few more glances at Duan Ling Tian before entering Destiny Canyon.
Feng Xiao Xiao had heard that Duan Ling Tian was a prodigy. He was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods who comprehended the law of space and the Sword Dao. Most shockingly, he was able to kill advanced Emperors of Gods despite being only a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. There were people who said that he was almost as strong as an imminent Supreme God.
Feng Xiao Xiao did not take the rumors he had heard seriously. He felt that the rumors were exaggerated. However, his heart could not help but tremble at this moment when he discovered that not only did Duan Ling Tian become an intermediate Emperor of Gods, but Duan Ling Tian also managed to keep up with him and followed him here.
Feng Xiao Xiao had fled at full speed earlier. The advanced Emperors of Gods and even the imminent Supreme Gods could only watch as he fled. However, Duan Ling Tian managed to keep up with him. Not only that, but he also failed to discover Duan Ling Tian’s presence.
“Hmm.”
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian nodded indifferently in response to Feng Xiao Xiao’s question. Without saying another word, he attacked Feng Xiao Xiao, who was trapped in the spatial prison. Clearly, he did not plan to give Feng Xiao Xiao any chance to escape. At this moment, in his eyes, Feng Xiao Xiao was no different from a rat caught in a trap.
It had to be said that Duan Ling Tian was able to smoothly construct the spatial prison because Feng Xiao Xiao came to a stop to look at the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus earlier. It was Feng Xiao Xiao who had presented him with a golden opportunity.
‘Everything went really smoothly. After killing Feng Xiao Xiao, the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus will be mine…’
Even Duan Ling Tian did not expect things to go so smoothly. Previously, he was not 100% certain that he would be able to obtain the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus. Even if his speed was not any slower than that of Feng Xiao Xiao, he knew he would not have an easy time like Feng Xiao Xiao escaping from the others. Feng Xiao Xiao had the element of surprise and hid his strength well, which contributed to his success.
Earlier, Duan Ling Tian continued to hide as he followed Feng Xiao Xiao. The others failed to notice him since they were completely focused on Feng Xiao Xiao. When Feng Xiao Xiao finally stopped running, he decided to make a move.
“Duan Ling Tian, you’re just an intermediate Emperor of Gods. You can’t stop me,” Feng Xiao Xiao said in a low voice.
After putting the Earth Flaming Buddha Lotus into his spatial ring, Feng Xiao Xiao grabbed the sword under his feet. The sword was a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul.
The wind raged violently around Feng Xiao Xiao, causing the void to ripple. It looked as though thousands of swords were slashing at the void. He attacked the spatial prison as he deflected Duan Ling Tian’s attack.
The spatial prison only shook slightly. It would not collapse so quickly since Duan Ling Tian was able to neutralize most of Feng Xiao Xiao’s attacks.
Feng Xiao Xiao’s expression changed again upon seeing this. He no longer dared to hold back, and his Divine Energy burst forth completely. Following that, wind blades filled the spatial prison and slashed at the spatial prison fiercely, causing the prison to shake as though it was going to collapse.
“Fool,” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly. Following that, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword in his hand shook slightly before a colorful sword ray shot out. Not only did he cast the Sword Dao, but he also cast the Mastery Dao to further strengthen his control over the surrounding space. As soon as he cast the Mastery Dao, one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, not only did the colorful sword ray grow stronger, but the spatial prison that looked like it was on the verge of collapsing was immediately strengthened.
“What is this?!” Feng Xiao Xiao exclaimed as his expression changed. After a beat, his eyes widened as he exclaimed again, “You! You managed to master the Mastery Dao?!”
