41: Chapter 41 The Phoenix's Tears

"Where are you running to!"

Su Fan leaped up, ready to give chase, when he suddenly realized he had forgotten his Sword Flight. Without an object to support him, he couldn't fly for long.

Just then, Qin Xiaoxiao threw her sword up to him.

"Catch!"

After catching the sword, Su Fan channeled all his Qi and chased rapidly in the direction Huang Lang was fleeing.

He chased for about two or three minutes.

Watching Huang Lang, who remained a kilometer away, Su Fan finally understood why the First Security Division could never catch this guy.

This brat could really run...

Furthermore, this brat knew how to run an "S" pattern to dodge the Spell attacks from behind.

However, it wasn't that Su Fan couldn't catch him; he needed to observe his surroundings to see if the brat was leading him into a trap, so he deliberately kept a distance of one kilometer to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

"Yellow-hair! You can't escape!"

"Is your internal Qi almost exhausted? Out of Qi, right?"

Su Fan chased unhurriedly behind him, deliberately provoking him to goad him into turning back to fight.

"Yellow your grandfather!"

"My name is Huang Lang! The devil for a thousand miles around! You call me Yellow-hair, you're the Yellow-hair, your whole family is Yellow-hair, f***ing hell..."

Huang Lang cursed loudly, but the skateboard under his feet showed no sign of stopping.

He dared not stop to fight because he knew he couldn't win.

Now, apart from running, he had no other choice.

Unless he surrendered.

...

Seeing that he wouldn't take the bait, Su Fan had no choice but to continue the chase.

After chasing for a few more minutes, he looked around and saw there were no other Golden Core Stage Cultivators in the entire area. He finally confirmed that this brat had no reinforcements and no backup plans.

Only then did he feel relieved enough to increase his speed, closing the distance in a few teleports.

"Yellow-hair, surrender!"

Su Fan brought his palm down. By this time, Huang Lang's Qi was nearly exhausted, and he was already panting. After being struck by the palm, he fell directly from the sky.

Clutching his chest with one hand and spitting out a mouthful of blood, Huang Lang's eyes darted around, and then he dashed into the dense forest below...

"You're quite cunning, but... you can't escape!"

Su Fan merged his Divine Sense into his eyes and scanned the dense forest from above, quickly spotting Huang Lang's figure.

"Still trying to run..."

Su Fan descended using Sword Flight, and Huang Lang was just a hundred meters ahead.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Several fire-based Spells arrived in an instant, attacking the position where Huang Lang was.

From within a patch of thorny bushes, only a scream was heard.

Afterward, there was Huang Lang's cursing voice:

"F***ing hell! I'll admit defeat today... but it won't be that easy to catch me..."

Half of Huang Lang's body was charred black, but he continued to flee...

Su Fan was about to cast a Spell, but was blocked by the bushes and tree branches of the dense forest.

The previous Spells had startled a flock of Mutated Sparrows as large as eagles to fly about in panic.

On the ground, fist-sized mutated ants were crawling about in panic, and numerous giant mutated spiders, which had been perched on tree trunks weaving webs as large as fishing nets, were also frightened and fleeing...

Relying on his Divine Sense, he chased for another minute.

However, as he chased, he could clearly sense that Huang Lang was nearby, but he just couldn't find his specific location.

Looking at the swaying shadows of the trees all around, it felt incredibly eerie and terrifying. Suddenly, something dashed past within dozens of meters of him, moving at a terrifying speed...

This speed was actually faster than his Golden Core Stage flying speed!

"What exactly is that thing?"

Su Fan continued to use his Divine Sense to investigate. He had clearly seen something dash past earlier, but it wasn't Huang Lang; he couldn't possibly be that fast. It looked like some kind of extremely fast mutated beast.

It wasn't large in size, not as conspicuous as a Mutated Wild Boar; it seemed to be only as big as an ordinary roe deer or deer, but he didn't know what it actually was...

"Yellow-hair! I know you're nearby. You can't hide. Your Qi is almost exhausted; even an ordinary person with high stamina could knock you unconscious..."

"Surrender!"

Su Fan said loudly, continuing to search for Yellow-hair's location.

Suddenly, his Divine Sense saw a muddy swamp ahead, and bubbles were bubbling up from the swamp, as if something had fallen into it...

"Could Yellow-hair have fallen into that?"

Just as he wanted to step forward, a sudden change occurred—

Snap!!

Suddenly, an animal tail appeared from nowhere and slapped toward his face!

He had initially thought this was just an ordinary strike.

But the next second...

He felt a sense of numbness and dizziness all over his body, and immediately, his consciousness began to blur and become chaotic...

"Damn, lightning attribute..."

His eyelids closed uncontrollably...

His body gradually fell uncontrollably. In his mind, his consciousness seemed to sink into some indescribable vortex, just like when he entered the simulation last time...

No matter how much Su Fan shouted in his subconscious, urging himself to wake up quickly, he was still trapped in that mysterious vortex, and then his consciousness slowly plunged into darkness...

When he 'opened his eyes' again, sitting before him was a stunningly beautiful woman. She wore golden armor and, looking at the awakened Su Fan, her beautiful face was full of surprise: "Husband, you're awake?"

"Yao? Wife... I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Su Fan stood up abruptly and looked around. This place was like a celestial realm; the evening glow was like a magnificent painting, dazzling and eye-catching, and the clouds and mist swirled like thin gauze, dreamy and ethereal, the scene was incredibly beautiful.

"Husband, you can just pretend you're dreaming!"

Ji Yao stood before him just like that, her eyes and brows filled with joy.

"Husband... do you know how much I've missed you?"

"Husband... that spirit rhinoceros golden thread, you must keep it safe, never lose it. This is the only bond between you and me, you must never lose it, remember, remember..."

On Ji Yao's Heavenly Immortal-like beautiful face was an expression of earnest hope. Then, like a light butterfly, she hugged Su Fan's body, and the ribbons of the armor behind her scattered like nimble colored ribbons, instantly wrapping them into a hammock...

A tear of joy also slid down from between her slender eyelashes...

Ding dong!

The tear in his hand was like a pearl. After catching the tear, Su Fan held his long-missed wife and leaned in toward her crimson, soft lips...

But just then.

A voice suddenly and abruptly entered his mind: "Su Fan, wake up... you need to wake up..."

"Wife, I don't want to wake up, I want to be with you forever..."

'Su Fan' and 'Ji Yao' interlocked their fingers, leaning against each other, lingering and affectionate...

"Su Fan! Wake up!"

What a noise, so annoying!

"Su Fan!! You need to wake up!!!"

How strange, Yao, why are you patting my face?

...

Truly opening his eyes, the blurry figure before Su Fan gradually solidified.

"Qin Xiaoxiao?"

Su Fan gave a start, was greatly startled, and leaped up.

"Why are you here?"

"I was afraid you would encounter danger, so I followed on my mountain motorcycle. You were just attacked by a Mecha Lightning Sable and were hallucinating for 30 seconds..."

"Mecha Lightning Sable? Hallucinating?"

Su Fan touched his face, and only then did he remember that he had been attacked by that strange thing, paralyzed by electricity, and then hallucinated.

In other words... it was just a beautiful dream.

Sigh, if only I could really see her again, that would be wonderful...

After collecting his thoughts, Su Fan looked at Qin Xiaoxiao: "What about that Yellow-hair? Have you seen him?"

"Over there!"

Qin Xiaoxiao shone a high-intensity flashlight at the swamp ahead, and a head could be seen exposed on the surface of the swamp. When that person saw the light shining over, he immediately bared his teeth and shouted: "Brat! You can't take advantage of people in a vulnerable position! Wait until I get out, and we'll fight again... Ah! F***ing hell, it's over, it's over!"

This person was indeed Huang Lang. Su Fan's guess was correct; he had indeed fallen into the swamp.

At this moment, as he exhausted the last bit of his Qi, his body could no longer support itself and gradually sank deeper and deeper, watching as his head was about to be submerged...

"Let's save him and let him face legal sanctions."

Qin Xiaoxiao handed Su Fan a pair of spirit shackles and said.

Su Fan gave an "Mm" and reached out to take the spirit shackles.

Suddenly, at this moment...

He suddenly saw a crystal-clear, tear-shaped crystal in his palm, resembling a pearl.

This was actually... [tear of the empress]!
