305: Chapter 305 A Chase Across Thousands of Miles, an Old Man Arrives at the Door

"Since Miss Xiao is unwilling to cooperate, then..." The man in front of her suddenly struck out, clenching his hand as the energy of heaven and earth formed into wind blades.

They were hundreds of feet large, like blades of world destruction, their sharp edges expanding until the void rippled and faint black cracks split open.

"You... the consequences of offending me are such that I fear there will be no place for you to hide on the entire Fighting Qi Continent!"

Xiao Xiao spoke sharply, flipping her hand to take out a medicinal pill and swallowing it to recover from her injuries. Since leaving the Black-Corner Region, her whereabouts had been leaked, and she had been pursued all the way here.

With the constant killing and fighting, her injuries, which had originally been suppressed and stabilized, were once again in danger of erupting.

"Miss Xiao, we know your background; you come from the Xiao Clan, one of the Ancient Eight Clans, but that is not enough to make us retreat."

"Your Xiao Family already possesses the inheritance of a Dou Di, yet you still want to monopolize the opportunities belonging to the powerhouses of the continent. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

"Jie jie jie, rumor has it that the daughter of the Flame Emperor possesses the bloodline of the Snake-people Tribe and is a natural beauty snake..."

Among them, greed flickered in the eyes of some powerhouses. These were all outlaws who killed for treasure and committed every kind of evil.

They lived for the moment, drinking today and worrying tomorrow; they wouldn't care which family you came from or what power stood behind you.

"Hand over the inheritance of the ancient powerhouse, or else..."

Someone grew impatient, and a roaring, brilliant sword light split through the air, triggering fluctuations in the energy of heaven and earth as it slashed toward Xiao Xiao.

Hiss...

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python beside her flicked its tongue and let out a roar, instantly transforming into a ferocious, sky-reaching giant python. Its snake tail was like a pillar holding up the heavens as it swept across the sky.

Boom!

The sword light collided with the snake tail, and the two powerful forces erupted with extreme energy. A massive shockwave ravaged the surroundings frantically.

The faces of those surrounding her changed drastically; they hadn't expected that snake-shaped Magical Beast to possess such formidable strength.

Roar...

Suddenly, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python wailed. Blood trickled from its tail and dripped from the air; evidently, that sword strike had injured its tail.

"Xiao Cai, how are you?" Xiao Xiao cried out sharply. To her, Xiao Cai was not just a companion Magical Beast, but her best friend.

Puchi!

The man who had struck with the sword earlier was not faring well either. His blood churned, and his internal organs were ruptured. Although he had retreated in time, he had been swept by the aftershocks of the snake tail.

"What a powerful beast!" The man's face looked grim as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

In fact, he didn't know that the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python was not at its peak strength and had been injured beforehand; otherwise, that single tail sweep would have been enough to take his life.

"You are unforgivable for hurting Xiao Cai. Green Lotus Burning the Heavens!"

She immediately activated the Dou Qi within her body and clasped her hands together. A cluster of pale green flame emerged between her palms—the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked seventeenth among the Heavenly Flames.

Dou Qi poured in frantically, condensing into a crystalline flame lotus. The intense energy fluctuations caused the space to twist.

"Not good, defend quickly! She's going to fight to the death..." The surrounding powerhouses' faces turned ashen. They surged their surging Dou Qi to form defensive light shields, isolating that terrifying energy.

Swoosh!

With a ferocious expression and resolute killing intent, Xiao Xiao flicked her finger. The pale green fire lotus streaked through space toward the energy shields.

It trailed a long tail in mid-air. Wherever it passed, the void distorted and the energy of heaven and earth was incinerated.

Once this move was unleashed, Xiao Xiao's body trembled. The small amount of Dou Qi she had just recovered was drained once more, leaving her like a flickering flame that could be extinguished at any moment.

Buzz!

A light flashed on the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. It swept toward Xiao Xiao, catching her on its head, and then sped off into the distance.

"Xiao Cai, thank you for your hard work," Xiao Xiao said weakly. Then, she took out medicinal pills and herbs from her storage ring, swallowing the pills to recover her strength.

The pale green flames of the herbs churned in her palm, refining them into medicinal liquid which she swallowed directly into her stomach.

In a life-and-death crisis, there was no time to concoct medicinal pills.

Rumble!

After Xiao Cai carried Xiao Xiao away, a massive roar echoed from behind. The fire lotus exploded, tearing through the defensive shields. The terrifying Heavenly Flame released high temperatures capable of burning the heavens and refining the earth.

Ah...

Some powerhouses with lower strength screamed, watching in terror as the pale green flames swept over them. Their souls and bodies were obliterated, instantly vaporized, and they perished on the spot.

This move, the Green Lotus Burning the Heavens Dou Technique, caused many powerhouses at the Dou Wang and Dou Huang levels to perish under the flames.

Seen from afar, a massive mushroom cloud of fire rose from the ground—an extremely spectacular sight. Rocks crumbled, ancient trees were incinerated, and the ground shook violently and incessantly.

Within a thousand-mile radius, a massive vacuum vortex formed, swallowing all living creatures.

By this time, Xiao Xiao had already fled far away.

She escaped? Keep chasing!

After the storm dissipated, there was no longer any trace of Xiao Xiao or Xiao Cai at the scene. These powerhouses sped off in the direction of their escape.

Swoosh...

In the distant sky, streaks of light sped past like a meteor shower, disappearing into the horizon.

Jie jie jie!

"Xiao Xiao, can you truly escape this pursuit of ten thousand miles?"

After the crowd of powerhouses had chased after her, a young man in green robes stepped out from a hidden forest, revealing a strange smile.

He looked in the direction they had left; in this feast of flight, whose tragic song would be played at the end?

With a tap of his toes, his figure actually vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, he was dozens of feet away. Since his Three Thousand Lightning Movement movement technique had broken through to Lightning Flash, his speed had increased dozens of times over.

It was almost like teleportation.

"Your Majesty, will that old man really come to visit?" Liu Ling asked doubtfully beside him.

The snake scale flower could be considered a rare medicinal herb, yet that old man was unwilling to exchange it. The hidden reasons behind this were likely very troublesome.

"Your Majesty, since this thing is helpful to Qing Yue, even if he doesn't agree, we can just take it by force!"

A hint of killing intent appeared on Yan Xing's face as he spoke coldly.

"Brute!" Liu Ling criticized him frantically.

"Yan Xing, traveling the Fighting Qi Continent doesn't always have to involve fighting and killing. One must convince people with virtue. If they still don't comply, then let the fists do the talking—courtesy first, then force!"

Hun Tiandi said indifferently, appearing to have already seen through that old man.

Tonglai Hotel!

The group found the most luxurious hotel in this loess city and stayed there to wait for further arrangements.

Inside the room, Hun Tiandi sat in a chair, his fingers tapping on the table. His mind was racing, calculating against various factions and calculating for the world.

The reason he came to the Tagor Desert this time was specifically for the Snake-people Tribe living deep in the desert.

The Snake-people Tribe!

In the Tagor Desert, aside from some Magical Beasts hidden in the sands, the most daunting presence was the Snake-people Tribe of the desert.

Here, almost no one was willing to make an enemy of them. After all, the powerhouses of the Snake-people Tribe could manipulate poisonous snakes, making them impossible to guard against in the dangerous desert.

Additionally, Hun Tiandi studied the map of the great desert. The places marked with red dots were the most dangerous.

On the map, there were eight such dots in total, situated in different directions.

Aside from the main Snake-people Tribe, there were also medium and large-sized tribes, which were the most powerful existences among the Snake-people.

Of course, the one with the highest status was Queen Medusa.

Besides her, there were the leaders of the eight major tribes, each competing with one another.

On the morning of the second day, someone from the hotel knocked on Hun Tiandi's door.

"Sir, there is an old man outside who says he is looking for you!" An enthusiastic voice came from outside the door.

It was the hotel attendant.

"I know. Take him to a private room; I will be there in a moment!" Hun Tiandi's cold voice carried out from the room.

"Yes, sir!" The attendant immediately left.

"You finally came after all..." Hun Tiandi sneered.

"Sir, this way please. He will be down in a moment!" the attendant said to the old man.

The old man's face looked grim. He nodded and followed the attendant, waiting in the arranged private room for Hun Tiandi's arrival.
