This camouflage grass had an obvious flaw: it was taller than the normal grass next to it. Liu Lang raised his knife and cut the taller part several times.

If you look closely you can still see that it's unnatural, but in such an emergency situation, he has done his best.

Chen Xiao and Liu Lang quickly got into the camouflaged bushes. One person could have plenty of space, but two people had to squeeze together tightly, while squatting.

Xiao Ba was held in Chen Xiao's arms the whole time, and he never touched the ground. He couldn't bark when he was running before, but when Liu Lang was chatting with the man who caught the golden jade sculpture, Xiao Ba barked a few times.

At this moment, Chen Xiao was afraid that Xiao Ba would make a sound at an inappropriate time, so he wanted to cover Xiao Ba's mouth with his hand and let go when it was safe.

Liu Lang saw what he meant, but shook his head at him. He took Xiao Ba from Chen Xiao's arms and gently placed him outside the disguise.

Chen Xiao didn't understand Liu Lang's intention at first, and watched nervously. But Xiao Ba didn't go far away, and just wandered around Chen Xiao, looking like a lamb that accidentally wandered away after being separated from its mother.

They were now in the middle of a flock of wild sheep, and the presence of a little lamb so close to them concealed even the last bit of unnaturalness.

Chen Xiao was praying in his heart that everything would go well, when the sound of a spell breaking through the air almost rang in his ears.

"Boom-boom--", "Pah-pa", "Swish! Swish!", "Swish, swish", the sounds made by the friction of the air when attacking by true energy spells of different attributes are significantly different.

Based on these characteristics alone, Liu Lang was able to determine how many people there were.

He gestured to Chen Xiao, pointing one finger with one hand and holding up three fingers with the other. This meant that there were at least three evil cultivators chasing after the immortal cultivator.

Chen Xiao's expression froze, and he slowly held his breath, while relaxing, slowing down his blood flow and heart rate.

With Chen Xiao's physical fitness, he can now hold his breath for half an hour. Of course, he has to stay still. If he wants to move, such as swimming, he may not be able to hold his breath for that long.

Through the camouflaged bushes, Chen Xiao and Liu Lang saw three people chasing a person and running towards them. Behind the three evil cultivators, there was another one flying in the air, as if he was about to raid the enemy camp.

Chen Xiao's vision has greatly improved now. After a while, he determined that these three evil cultivators were all in the early or middle stage of foundation building. Their individual strength was not as good as that of the immortal cultivator, but because of his strange skills and the skillful cooperation between the three of them, the cultivator was chased in a very embarrassing situation and even looked like he was defeated.

The man ran over here, indeed wanting to find the two helpers he had just seen. However, he didn't know that Liu Lang was just a show-off, and even if Chen Xiao wanted to help him, he didn't have the ability to do so.

He couldn't even defeat three evil cultivators, let alone there was another person who was of unknown ability following behind him.

He had been running here but didn't see anyone. He thought the two had gone far away. He couldn't hold on any longer and was swarmed by three evil cultivators and pinned to the ground.

The battle ended with a winner, and the three evil cultivators who had just cooperated began to fight for it. They practiced the same technique, and both required the absorption of fresh flesh and blood. Once absorbed, they could not stop, and each corpse could only be used by one person.

The place where they stopped was hundreds of meters away from Chen Xiao and Liu Lang. This distance was far enough for ordinary people, but with the cultivation and hearing ability of those in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they could kill them immediately at the slightest movement.

This made the two of them dare not move, luckily the three of them were so busy quarreling that they didn't notice it at all.

"Why is it you this time? It was you last time, and it was you the time before that. It's been you three or four times in a row. It should be my turn now!"

"Do you have any respect for others? I haven't even started talking yet and you're already attacking me? Let me go!"

"What are you trying to grab? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to digest it and eat it to death? I think you should let it go."

Two people were targeting the other one and were very dissatisfied with his overly domineering behavior.

The overbearing one was dismissive of the other two's opinions. "Your master said that I am the one who is leading this trip. If I say I want this body, you must give it to me! Also, don't be so aggressive when you speak, and be more respectful!"

"Who are you asking to be respectful? You should understand that you are only the sixth generation grandson of my master. You should call us the Heavenly Master Uncle. Your arrogant attitude is as if you are my master's ancestor. You are desperate and beg my master to take you in. We should still support you? Bah!"

"That's right. If it weren't for my master's mercy, you would still be a useless person with a broken dantian. You are ungrateful and respectful, and you still want to be on an equal footing with us. I have tolerated you for a long time!"

"Well, you dare to talk to me like that. After all, I am also the direct descendant of Liezu, the continuation of his bloodline. If you disrespect me, you are disrespecting him! Just wait and see, I will report to Liezu properly when I go back, and let him punish you severely."

"Tsk - Fan Shiming, do you really think you are a big shot? I give you a little face, and you dare to act like a big shot. If you want to file a complaint, then go ahead and see who gets punished in the end!"

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare?!"

Fan Shiming.

Fan Shiming? ! !

How could it be Fan Shiming? !

The three people were arguing more and more fiercely, to the point of fighting. However, Chen Xiao could not hear anything, and his heart was in turmoil.

If the name could be a coincidence, then the experience of having their dantian broken could not be a coincidence. Chen Xiao was 100% sure that this was the same Fan Shiming who had falsely accused him of using evil methods to interfere with the selection of disciples for the Chongxuan Sect in Fan Village!

How could he be here? And as an evil cultivator in the foundation building stage?

The huge shock made Chen Xiao take a deep breath, and his breathing was a little heavy. He was immediately noticed by the one flying in the air. He shot a sharp look in this direction and shouted: "Who is there? Come out!"

Oh no!

Chen Xiao didn't have time to think about it and subconsciously shouted "Run!"

He rushed out, picked up Xiao Ba, and used several paper talismans on himself. While running, he also threw paper talismans at Liu Lang.

He had never seen this moment before. He was glad that he had asked Li and Zhou to smear the talisman paper with a flammable potion in advance. Quick and efficient, it bought him and Liu Lang precious time to escape.

"Stop!" The evil cultivator Cheng Gu, who was flying in the sky, shouted to the two fellow apprentices who were still confused, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. There are two Taoist cultivators over there. Hurry and chase them!"

He also disliked Fan Shiming. Although he came out this time under the instruction of his master, mainly to collect fresh blood and flesh for him, he was too greedy. Not only was his face ugly, but his eating manners were also ugly. The second and third junior brothers obviously contributed a lot, so he should give them some soup after eating meat.

But he didn't care and killed all four people in the wetland before, without giving any chance to his second and third junior brothers.

Master Huaiyin Laozu did not intend to let Fan Shiming join the sect, as it would mess up the order of seniority. Therefore, although Fan Shiming was learning the same martial arts as them, he was both a relative of the master and a guest of their sect. It would be bad to treat him with a light or heavy attitude.

But Fan Shiming was a man who thought highly of himself and didn't know his own position. He treated chicken feathers as a token of authority and bossed them around.

Cheng Gu was constrained by his master's instructions before he left, but he had a quarrel with Fan Shiming. He had to secretly indulge his two junior brothers, and even if they quarreled, he would deliberately ignore it.

However, he could only indulge them in verbal quarrels, but not in physical fights. It was because of this that Fan Shiming became more and more excessive.

Now that two more bodies were found, Cheng Gu would of course leave them to his junior fellow apprentice. As for Fan Shiming, let him stay here and absorb the corpse.

Unexpectedly, Fan Shiming took it for granted that the Taoist practitioners within his sight were his prey. He picked up the corpse on the ground, followed the two of them and chased in the direction Chen Xiao fled.

When Cheng Gu found out, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He really wished that a more powerful Taoist would appear immediately. He pretended to fail and accidentally caused Fan Shiming to lose his life.

Anyway, his master accepted Fan Shiming only because the Fan family used the last help talisman, based on a promise. Even if he accidentally killed Fan Shiming, he would at most be punished when he returned. At most, he would be injured, but he didn't want to suffer this disgusting experience again.

Cheng Gu had dark thoughts in his mind, but gave up after a while. He could only blame Dao Xiu for not living up to his expectations. The two people sent to him were too weak, and they might not even be able to put up a decent resistance.

——But he is quite good at running away.

Chen Xiao has been making progress. The growth of his vitality and the great improvement of his mental strength have made the paper talismans he draws more effective. Although the raw materials have not changed much, the magic talismans he uses now are obviously faster and more durable than before, which is a qualitative leap.

Chen Xiao was delighted with the change and took another photo without hesitation.

They had already run hundreds of miles away from their original location, but still hadn't gotten rid of the evil cultivator flying in the air.

Chen Xiao could still hold on, but Liu Lang's breathing became heavy and his steps began to become unsteady.

The two of them knew that without true energy, Liu Lang would soon reach his limit.

After running for a few dozen miles, the terrain became more obvious and dramatic, and small hills began to occupy the field of vision.

On a slope where a large rock was exposed, Liu Lang raised his foot a little slowly and tripped over the protruding stone.

His body tilted and he fell to the side.

Liu Lang closed his eyes, knowing what the consequences would be if he fell down.

Chen Xiao was standing by and reached out, grabbed his arm and lifted him onto his shoulder.

"Go!" He shouted softly, and with the power under his feet, he exerted all his strength, even his vital energy, and transferred it to his legs without reservation. Not only did his speed not slow down, but it became a little faster.

"Chen Xiao, don't worry about me, just leave!" Liu Lang said anxiously.

He was much more experienced than Chen Xiao, and of course he knew that Chen Xiao could not get rid of the evil cultivator behind him if he led him like this. Sooner or later, all his cultivation would be consumed, and the two would fall into the clutches of the devil.

Instead of this, it would be better for Chen Xiao to escape alone and still have a glimmer of hope.

Chen Xiao pursed his lips and said with a pale face: "Don't talk, save your energy!" He held Liu Lang tighter, obviously not agreeing with Liu Lang's idea.

Liu Lang was anxious and his facial expression kept changing, but finally turned into a determined look.

Should I live as a useless person who is a burden to my friends? Or should I fight to the death as a Taoist practitioner and die in battle with great fanfare?

He chose the latter.
