He caught up again!
At the same time, he suppressed his own body with his supreme divine power, and summoned five or six dharma instruments of the holy grade. They shone with dazzling light, protecting his figure.
The current Xue Chunqiu was like a walking sun!
In the withered Leaf Forbidden Zone, he appeared like a ghost, constantly showing up in various places.
Unfortunately, this area almost covers an entire star domain, and it is quite a terrifying place. Not only is it rampant with toxic miasmas, but more importantly, the erosive force on one's cultivation here is destructive!
After following for tens of billions of miles, Xue Chunqiu finally collapsed. Even with five or six holy artifacts protecting him, his cultivation foundation... was still severely shaken!
His heart finally gave birth to the thought of retreat.
At the same time, he was incomprehensibly puzzled, wondering how those three little ones could keep on hopping around lively without a single issue?
At that moment, he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood with a 'wa' sound.
This was the vital blood of a Saint!
His cultivation foundation was severely damaged. Many deadly poisonous miasmas also began to desperately try to seep in through the holy artifacts that were being continuously eroded.
Disaster was imminent!
Xue Chunqiu's heart was already filled with immense regret.
But just at this moment, a scene that made his eyes nearly split with rage and drove him completely insane occurred!
Those three people who had previously been running for their lives, like dogs that had lost their homes, actually stopped and stood there, looking back at him!
He, a venerable Saint of the Ancient Xue Clan with a very high status, was actually being made a laughingstock by three little supremes he had originally wanted to kill!
That wasn't the worst part. What made Xue Chunqiu completely unable to accept it, what made him spit out another mouthful of fresh blood, was that one of the youngsters was holding up a handful of Shadow Sound Stones in his hand. Those stones, which Xue Chunqiu never took seriously, were being waved at him as the youth taunted loudly, "Old thief of the Xue Family, see what treasure this is?"
"They recognize me!" Xue Chunqiu suddenly felt an unbearable sense of humiliation!
A Saint like him, coming to kill a young Heavenly Genius, not only failed to do so but also suffered severe damage himself, and to top it off, was being recorded!
In Xue Chunqiu's eyes, two vast, boundless worlds were collapsing; he was furious beyond measure!
Liu Yunfeng said with a laugh, "I believe this little thing will be the most explosive news in the Trial Field in recent years. Rest assured, old thief of the Xue Family, we will make sure to spread the word well for you! We guarantee that everyone in the Trial Field will hear of your illustrious name and witness your grace!"
"You little beast, how dare you!" Xue Chunqiu trembled with rage, especially since he was now stuck as if in a quagmire, and the force eroding his cultivation was still intensifying and growing!
This was downright terrifying!
By this point, he had finally understood that those three cursed little ones were not at all fleeing in panic! Where was the panic? It was clearly a deliberate scheme to lure him here, to trap him!
The hunter who aimed for geese being pecked in the eye by a goose; for Xue Chunqiu, the blow was unbearable. He was struck a severe blow both mentally and physically.
A formidable personage, calculated against and humiliated by three little kids, Xue Chunqiu was caught in a dilemma with no way out.
"Old thief, what's there for me not to dare?" Liu Yunfeng said nonchalantly, his eyelids drooping. In reality, his heart was also filled with shock. Although the third brother had said they could avoid the dangerous areas in the Withered Leaf Forbidden Zone, both he and Zi Dao still had some doubts in their hearts.
If the Withered Leaf Forbidden Zone is listed as one of the three most terrifying areas by all cultivators, it is not without reason. If it were so easy to pass through, why would it still be feared by everyone to this day?
But now, Liu Yunfeng finally understood that the third brother was telling the truth and was, in fact, being far too modest. How could it be simply avoiding all dangerous territories? It was as if he was just strolling through his own backyard in the Withered Leaf Forbidden Zone!
This most dangerous place posed absolutely no danger to Chu Mo!
That was the most horrifying part!
Now, even a Saint of the Xue Family had been trapped so miserably, and looking at his hate-filled and crazed demeanor, Liu Yunfeng's heart ached for him: Whom did you have to offend? Why did you have to provoke Chu Mo?
Zi Dao's thoughts were similar, but he considered more. He not only knew that the person in front of him was a Saint from the Xue Family but also knew that he was Xue Chunqiu! The father of Xue Wuqing and Xue Wulei, with a very high status in the Xue Family!
But no matter how noble... it cannot surpass the nobility of the Luotian Imperial Clan!
Chu Mo, although he is currently being hunted by some members of the Imperial Clan, including the current emperor who possibly desires in his heart to eradicate Chu Mo, the "source of disaster," this certainly does not mean that the situation will persist indefinitely!
Once that monkey is reborn, the entire Luotian Universe will fall into chaos, and what situation arises then is anyone's guess.
Even if the monkey doesn't reappear, Chu Mo is definitely not without support within the Luotian Imperial Clan. According to what Zi Dao knows, there are those within the Imperial Clan who sympathize with Chu Mo's family. And they have quite a few criticisms of the current emperor!
Therefore, if someone within the Luotian Imperial Clan kills Chu Mo, it might not cause much of a stir; but if Chu Mo were to die at the hands of Xue Chunqiu, there would undoubtedly be fury within the Imperial Clan, and this might implicate the Ancient Xue Clan.
So, even if Chu Mo lacks the ability to protect himself, he is not someone anyone can provoke.
Not to mention, Chu Mo not only has the ability to protect himself, but he is also so terrifyingly powerful.
Zi Dao watched with cold eyes as Xue Chunqiu, filled with rage in the void, silently thought: Even if you manage to struggle out of the Barren Leaves Forbidden Zone alive, most of your Dao cultivation will likely be destroyed!
If you look back, the item in Liu Yunfeng's hand, once revealed, guarantees that your reputation will be destroyed immediately, and the entire Ancient Xue Clan will be shamed because of you!
This logic, Zi Dao can think of, Liu Yunfeng and Chu Mo can naturally think of, and Xue Chunqiu... can think of it even more so.
Thus, Xue Chunqiu, while desperately exerting his power to resist, pushing his Dao cultivation to its limits, also summoned all his dharma instruments. A large number of supreme instruments, and eight or nine holy artifacts. Nearly isolating his surroundings from the Barren Leaves Forbidden Zone entirely.
But how could the power of the Dao be completely isolated by these dharma instruments? Although the speed at which his Dao cultivation was being eroded slowed down a bit, the process was still ongoing.
Xue Chunqiu knew he couldn't linger here for long, first trying to take cautious steps, seeking the path that Chu Mo and the three had taken before, thinking those places should be safe. Yet he forgot that the power in the Barren Leaves Forbidden Zone is always changing.
Therefore, after moving for a long while, not only did the speed of his Dao cultivation's erosion not slow down, but it accelerated slightly. Despite being protected by a plethora of dharma instruments, he was still terrified and raging like thunder.
Then, with a gloomy face, he looked at Liu Yunfeng: "How will you hand that item over to me?"
"Old thief, have you lost your mind? Why would we give that item to you?" Liu Yunfeng smiled dismissively: "You come to kill us and we should give the evidence back to you? Old thief, just stay here and perish on your own. I won't accompany you!"
As Liu Yunfeng spoke, he prepared to leave with Chu Mo and Zi Dao. In his heart, he was somewhat uncertain, fearing that this Saint Realm old man might go mad. If the latter were to decide on mutual destruction, the current distance still wasn't safe enough.
"You... stop!" Xue Chunqiu shouted angrily, then his voice softened, but the deep hatred in his heart had reached an indescribable level. A Saint, being called an old thief over and over, yet unable to kill his ridiculer.
That kind of hatred, it simply ate away at his heart!
"How can you ensure not to release that item?" Xue Chunqiu's eyes turned blood red: "I can agree to some matters for you, as long as they're not excessive, I can agree to them, today... consider it my bad luck."
"Bad luck? You still don't admit your mistakes, do you?" Liu Yunfeng sneered.
"I..." Xue Chunqiu nearly spit out a mouthful of blood, forcefully suppressing it, said solemnly: "It is my fault…"
"Where did you go wrong?" Liu Yunfeng asked while operating the Shadow Sound Stone.
Such a small trick could never deceive a cultivator of Xue Chunqiu's realm. He angrily said: "Are you still recording?"
"Cough cough... habit, I got used to it." Liu Yunfeng directly turned off the Shadow Sound Stone, then looked at Xue Chunqiu: "Old thief, speak, where did you go wrong?"
Xue Chunqiu felt as if his face was being smelted by the solar fires of the ninth heaven, gritted his teeth and said: "I should not have provoked the three young masters... "
"Just that?" Liu Yunfeng looked dissatisfied, sneered: "A Saint, with nothing better to do but to trouble us? Speak! Why?"
As Liu Yunfeng uttered his last few words, he exerted all his Dao cultivation, producing a resounding Dao sound in the void.
Normally, such Dao sound would be trivial to Xue Chunqiu, like the hum of mosquitoes. But at this moment, with his Dao cultivation being continuously eroded, it struck him like a Thunder Shock, causing his body to tremble slightly.
Chu Mo and Zi Dao both looked at Liu Yunfeng with surprise, secretly admiring in their hearts: The Second Brother has some tricks up his sleeve!
Xue Chunqiu's heart was filled with boundless hate, but his face suddenly calmed down, and he said quietly: "It's because of my son, Xue Wulei, who was almost killed by Young Master Lin Hei... "
"No no no no no no, that's not it." Liu Yunfeng interrupted Xue Chunqiu with a string of nos: "It is clear that Xue Wulei tried and failed to kill Lin Hei, and was ***ed instead. It's that simple. The Trial Field sees the same thing happening every day. How did it become Lin Hei trying to kill your son in your narrative? Who is Xue Wulei? And who is Lin Hei? Was he seeking trouble without reason?"
