Chapter 141 Escape

"Hurry up, let's go!"

"This way, catch up with him!"

In the darkness, a group of demons were chasing a pack of wolf demons. Because the wolf demons were outnumbered and had many wounded, they quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, with countless deaths and injuries.

When Qi You, the chieftain of the wolf clan, saw his people being killed one by one as they succumbed to their injuries, he hurriedly tried to send them all away, putting himself in danger.

"Hehe~ You can't escape now, can you? Aren't you supposed to be a fast runner? Keep running~"

A man with a scar on his face looked at the man surrounded by his men with no way to escape and said sinisterly, "Qiyou, you can't run away now. You might as well just obediently accept your death."

The once spirited Qi You was now covered in wounds. There was a deep scratch on his left hand and a cut on his right shoulder. His bloody appearance made him look very disheveled.

However, he still looked at the person in front of him and sneered, "Hmph~ Greedy Wolf, I didn't expect that you not only hooked up with the Two-Headed Water Dragon, but also got involved with people from the Demon Realm. You're really something!"

Tanlang looked at Qiyou with great smugness, because he and Qiyou could be considered mortal enemies. They had been competing since they were young. Although their strengths were about the same, Qiyou always managed to win by a little bit.

When they were young, during the training to choose a wolf pack leader, Qi You beat him. Qi You came in first and he came in second. Later, when the clan was choosing a new clan leader, he also lost to Qi You. In fact, he was just a little bit away from winning, but because of that little bit, he still lost. So Tan Lang hated Qi You very much and had hated him since he was a child.

Now that he saw Qi You finally lose to him, he was finally happy. Tan Lang was extremely excited and said, "Hahaha~ You didn't expect this, did you? You finally lost to me. Tell me, do you have any last words? I will pass them on to the demon realm for the sake of our kinship."

Qi You remained calm. Despite being surrounded by a group of enemies, he maintained a composed demeanor and casually asked, "Really? You'd be so kind as to help me pass on this message?"

Greedy Wolf was so happy he was practically flying. He said smugly, "Of course I can. Since you're about to die by my hand, I'll help you. Tell me."

"Alright, actually I don't have much to say. I just wanted to ask, what's the status of the Phoenix Essence Blood? Is it still in your hands?"

Qi You's biggest worry was actually the Phoenix Essence Blood, because if the power of the Phoenix Essence Blood were obtained by Tan Lang or someone else, then something bad would definitely happen to the Demon Realm. So he wanted to know what was happening with the Phoenix Essence Blood now, and whether it was no longer with Tan Lang.

Tanlang, who had initially thought Qiyou would leave some last words, laughed after hearing this: "Hehe, you really are loyal to the Demon King. Even at this time, you're still thinking about that broken stone."

Although Tanlang disapproved of Qiyou's loyalty to the Demon King, he still leaned close to Qiyou and whispered the truth: "That broken stone is still in my hands. Although I don't have the ability to break it yet, I won't be so stupid as to hand it over to the Demon Realm, so you can die in peace now!"

As Tanlang was saying this, a short knife suddenly appeared in his hand, and he thrust it fiercely at Qiyou. He wanted to take advantage of Qiyou's lack of attention and kill him unexpectedly!

However, Qi You had already guessed his thoughts. Qi You had been fighting with him since childhood, so how could she not guess his intentions?

So when Tanlang made his move, Qiyou also made a move. Although he was already seriously injured, it didn't mean he would just wait to die. So when Tanlang made his move, he quickly drew his sword and blocked Tanlang's knife. Then he used his intact foot to step on Tanlang's foot and punched Tanlang's face!

Tanlang didn't expect Qiyou to be able to fight back at this time. He immediately reacted and wanted to fight him. However, as he dodged Qiyou's punch and retreated, Qiyou suddenly pulled out a handful of white powder from his waist and threw it at Tanlang!

The white powder had a faint fragrance, smelling like a spice. However, the moment Tanlang smelled it, his expression changed immediately, because the powder might contain a deadly poison!

"Poisonous! Be careful!"

Greedy Wolf quickly retreated to avoid the powder, while also warning his subordinates. However, due to the wind direction, it was too late to warn them. Most of them had already smelled the fragrance and began to feel unwell.

Qi You took the opportunity to run away while they were avoiding the powder, and the others did not chase after him because they were afraid of the scent.

"Damn it! Cough cough~ Keep chasing them!"

When Tanlang saw that Qiyou had escaped right under his nose, he was so angry that he was practically fuming. He wanted to order his men to give chase, but it was too late.

After Qi You had run away for a while, he suddenly turned back into his original form and hid in a bush. He looked at the remaining powder in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: Fortunately, the poison powder that A Qing gave me worked, and I also took the antidote beforehand. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to send all the tribesmen away and leave myself to gamble this time. But fortunately, I won the gamble and I can get out of danger for the time being.

He entered the Demon Realm while tracking a traitor. At first, he didn't know that the people of the Demon Realm had cooperated with Tanlang, so when he entered, he was thinking of sneaking in to capture people without alerting the people of the Demon Realm.

But before they could even begin their operation, the demons joined forces with that group of traitors to attack them, catching them completely off guard and causing them to lose so many of their people. This battle left Qi You deeply grieved.
