"Fellow Daoist Black God, I'm late. You fought a fierce battle with the third-tier fire fox. Were you injured?"

Lonely True Monarch gradually approached Lin Xiaofei, feigning concern, and said loudly.

"It's just that the energy expenditure was quite high, but it's nothing serious."

Lin Xiaofei said with a smile.

"That's good.

Oh, by the way, I have some pills here to restore spiritual energy. Just take one, and you'll be fine very quickly..."

As he spoke, the Lonely True Lord strode over, and when he was about eight or nine meters away from Lin Xiaofei, he waved his hand.

In an instant, a flash of light transformed into a silver-white light blade, which swiftly charged towards Lin Xiaofei.

"you..."

Lin Xiaofei's eyes flashed, and he said coldly. Just as the silver blade was about to pierce his body, his body turned into a blur and rose into the air.

boom!

The silver light blade plunged fiercely into the earth, producing a deafening roar that cracked the ground and sent dirt flying everywhere.

Lin Xiaofei unleashed the Wind God's Afterimage at its perfected state, instantly dodging the powerful attack of the Lonely True Monarch. Then, his figure swiftly streaked across the void, retreating about ten feet before landing on the ground.

"What?"

The Lonely True Lord's expression changed, and he was greatly shocked. To his surprise, his attack at such close range was dodged by his opponent.

You should know that even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would have no chance of dodging his light blade spell at such close range.

In addition, the opponent had just fought a fierce battle with a third-tier demonic beast, so his speed would definitely be affected.

However, the other party still managed to dodge it.

"True Lord, what is the meaning of your sneak attack on me like this?"

Lin Xiaofei's gaze turned cold, and he asked in a cold voice.

Before this, he had already sensed that something was wrong with the Lonely True Monarch, so he had just pretended to be extremely exhausted in order to test the other party.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually attacked him.

Fortunately, he had already cultivated the Great Divine Power, Wind God's Afterimage, to the perfect level; otherwise, he would have had great difficulty dodging that attack just now, which made him feel chilled to the bone.

He clearly had no grudge against the other party, and they were even fellow disciples. Who would have thought that the other party would try to kill him?

At that moment, a murderous intent rose in his heart.

The Lonely True Monarch's gaze turned cold, and he chuckled wickedly, saying:

You ask me what I mean? Can't you see that I want to kill you?

However, you suddenly unleashed an astonishing speed, which allowed you to dodge my fatal blow. But even if you are fast, so what?

Your spiritual energy has been severely depleted, and you forcibly dodged my attack. I suppose the little spiritual energy you had just recovered has been completely used up again?

Today is your death day.

"We have no grudge against each other. Even if you want to kill me today, at least let me die knowing why, right?"

Lin Xiaofei said coldly.

"Alright, since you helped me kill a Tier 3 Fire Fox, I'll tell you."

I am utterly astonished that a cultivator at the late stage of the Golden Core realm could actually kill a fire fox at the early stage of the third rank.

Even I couldn't kill a level 3 early stage fire fox in such a short time, but you did it. Doesn't that make people suspicious?

If I'm not mistaken, you must possess some kind of invaluable treasure.

The Lonely True Lord paused, then continued, "

Fellow Daoist Black God, don't blame me for targeting you; blame yourself for displaying strength far exceeding your own level.

"Since you're about to die, I'll give you a piece of advice: if you're still in the cultivation world in your next life, remember to keep a low profile, otherwise you'll be targeted."

"Your suggestion is indeed good."

However, you won't be able to kill me so easily today.

Lin Xiaofei smiled faintly, reached out and beckoned, directly putting the third-tier fire fox corpse not far away into his storage bag.

At the same time, he unleashed the Wind God's Afterimage Technique at the minor completion stage with his feet. Instantly, his figure transformed into an afterimage, swiftly flying towards the forest on the mountaintop.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofei's speed was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator flying at full speed.

"Trying to escape? How naive."

The Lonely True Lord smirked and quickly gave chase, but he did not make a move.

He believed that Lin Xiaofei's spiritual power was severely depleted and he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long. After all, for a late-stage Golden Core cultivator to fly at a speed comparable to an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would consume a lot of spiritual power.

Lin Xiaofei glanced at the approaching Lonely True Monarch and noticed that the two maintained a certain distance. A surge of joy welled up within him, and he thought to himself, "..."

"Truly a great divine power! I only used the Wind God's Afterimage at the minor completion stage, and I was already on par with the speed of True Monarch Lonely. If I were to use the Wind God's Afterimage at the perfect completion stage, I'm afraid I could quickly leave True Monarch Lonely behind."

He kept thinking about it, but he maintained that speed nonetheless.

The reason he didn't shake off Lonely True Monarch was to lure him away, thus preventing the dozen or so Golden Core cultivators at the foot of the mountain from seeing him kill the other party.

After all, True Monarch Lonely was an inner disciple of the Beast-Devouring Sect. If someone saw him kill the other party, and the news spread, he would be hunted down by the Beast-Devouring Sect.

Therefore, he wanted to lead the Lonely True Lord into the deep forest, so that no one would know what the Lonely True Lord and he were doing in the deep forest.

After a stick of incense had burned, the two had already flown more than twenty miles.

"Um?"

At this moment, the Lonely True Lord sensed that something was amiss.

He originally wanted to wear Lin Xiaofei down to death, so as to avoid the opponent's last-ditch counterattack.

However, after chasing Lin Xiaofei for a while, he saw from a distance that Lin Xiaofei was calm and did not look as exhausted as before.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to delay any longer, fearing that things might change if he did.

With a thought, the Lonely True Monarch emitted a purple light from his body, and in an instant, the entire world around him seemed to be enveloped in a purple light.

The power of domain.

A moment later, the purple light spread rapidly, enveloping Lin Xiaofei as well.

Lin Xiaofei's body sank slightly, and his flight speed immediately decreased by 30%.

Without hesitation, he quickly activated his domain power, isolating the purple light on his body from his skin. In an instant, his speed recovered by 20%.

Although his speed is still somewhat affected, it is not very serious.

"Black God True Lord, you can't escape now."

At this moment, the Lonely True Lord shouted, and seeing that Lin Xiaofei's speed had slowed down, he casually waved his hand, and a spiritual light spell appeared.

"I don't need to run away."

Lin Xiaofei uttered a soft voice, stopped flying, and glanced around, knowing that he had arrived in the deep forest.

Seeing that the Lonely True Lord had made a move, he did not hesitate at all. With a thought, he lightly swiped his finger, and a dark red longsword appeared in the void.

Great divine power, the Demon Blood Divine Sword!

Buzz!

In an instant, the dark red longsword seemed to transform into a laser beam, flashing through the void and swiftly rushing out.
