258: Walking is healthier

Facing the gazes of the two reckless brutes, Yin Li and Blood Dragon, the brothers Jin Hua and Jin Sheng quickly and timidly moved to Mao Qiu and the others' side.

The two brutes were now completely locked in a competition, seemingly both wanting to claim the head of the last King-level expert.

However, to his regret, Yin Li dealt with his opponent first, and after giving Blood Dragon, who was still fighting and bleeding profusely in the distance, a provocative look, he immediately began to kill the last King-level expert.

After an unknown period of time, when Yin Li's iron fist, as large as a mountain, smashed the head of the last King-level Fierce Beast into powder, Yin Li also looked at Blood Dragon with a blood-stained, ferocious expression.

"Hehe."

These two simple words instantly broke Blood Dragon's composure.

"I'll 'hehe' you!"

Facing Blood Dragon's desperate outburst, Yin Li was unconcerned. His massive thousand-meter giant ape body quickly shrank, eventually transforming into human form.

The situation at Bei Guan City was over, but the great battle in the Depths of the Flowing Land continued.

Seeing this, Huang Shan calmly looked at everyone, who had all transformed into human form, and quickly made arrangements.

"Jin Hua, Jin Sheng, you two and Mao Qiu, immediately go to the Depths of the Flowing Land, find Hong Zong, and help him deal with that King-level Second Layer expert.

Yin Li, I, and Blood Dragon, the three of us will go check on Xuan Ming's situation."

Although everyone present possessed "Chu" Battle Power, there were still strengths and weaknesses within "Chu" Battle Power.

Clearly, in the current situation, Blood Dragon, Yin Li, and Huang Shan had relatively stronger combat power.

Upon hearing Huang Shan's arrangements, Mao Qiu immediately nodded heavily and prepared to take Jin Sheng and Jin Hua to the Depths of the Flowing Land to find Hong Zong.

As for Huang Shan, Yin Li, and Blood Dragon, they had already flown quickly towards the Depths of the Flowing Land to support Xuan Ming.

Above Bei Guan City, the chubby Bai Rou Rou saw her companions split into two groups. After some deliberation, Bai Rou Rou quickly caught up with Mao Qiu's team.

Three million li from Bei Guan City in the Flowing Land.

At this moment, Hong Zong had transformed into his true form, a thousand-meter-sized steed with a streamlined body. Gusts of powerful wind swirled around his four hooves, making him extremely fast.

"Oh no~ I can't go on, help me! You're too strong, I can't run anymore..."

The thousand-meter-sized steed was shouting loudly in front, while the King-level Second Layer ancient lizard Fierce Beast behind him looked annoyed but could never catch up to Hong Zong.

At this moment, Hong Zong's four hooves were moving independently, which looked a bit comical, but if slowed down countless times, one would discover that Hong Zong was actually 'cross-stepping'.

At the very front, after his loud shouts, a hint of disdain flashed in Hong Zong's eyes, and he muttered to himself: "It's like walking a dog, what should I do? I can't beat him, so am I just going to keep leading him around like this?"

Just as Hong Zong was 'walking the dog', Mao Qiu, Jin Hua, Jin Sheng, and Bai Rou Rou behind him finally, after persistent effort, noticed the tracks Hong Zong had left an unknown number of days ago.

So, Mao Qiu and the others immediately followed Hong Zong's tracks and quickly gave chase.

But the problem now was that Hong Zong's speed was too fast; Mao Qiu and the others simply couldn't catch up.

The group had no other choice, so they could only continue to pursue and observe.

How fast were King-level experts? Yet, even so, after chasing for several days, Mao Qiu and the others still couldn't catch up to Hong Zong. In fact, they even discovered that they seemed to be getting further and further away.

At one point, Mao Qiu suddenly stopped and, as if sensing something, turned his head to look at the path they had come from, saying softly, "No, no, look, aren't we drawing a huge circle with our route?"

Hearing what Mao Qiu said, the brothers Jin Hua and Jin Sheng immediately recalled the past two days' journey and instantly nodded in sudden realization.

Now that they knew Hong Zong's route was drawing a huge circle, the next step was very simple: they just needed to move in the opposite direction.

Or, if that didn't work, simply staying put would also allow them to wait for Hong Zong.

So, after discussing among themselves, since they didn't know whether Hong Zong was moving clockwise or counter-clockwise, the group decided to just wait where they were.

In just three days, Mao Qiu and the others finally sensed Hong Zong's aura from tens of thousands of li away.

Seeing Hong Zong, who was already appearing as a blur of extreme speed rushing towards them, Mao Qiu immediately released his aura and, using his perception, spoke to Hong Zong.

"Stop running, we're here to help you. Prepare for battle."

In the sand-swept Flowing Land, the moment Hong Zong heard Mao Qiu's voice, he immediately burst into tears.

"You're finally here! I can't beat this guy, and he keeps hanging back there, it's terrifying for a horse."

As he spoke, Hong Zong gradually slowed down, and looking at the ancient lizard Fierce Beast that was getting closer, he directly raised his hind leg and gave it a kick.

Meanwhile, Mao Qiu and the brothers Jin Hua and Jin Sheng had already ambushed themselves around Hong Zong.

Perhaps due to Bai Rou Rou, the Heaven's Chosen One, the enormous King-level Second Layer ancient lizard was actually kicked by Hong Zong and flew straight towards Mao Qiu's side.

Seeing this, Mao Qiu's furry body instantly emitted a scorching golden light. Then, Mao Qiu's body, only the size of a basketball, directly charged towards the giant lizard.

Mao Qiu, small in size and fast, seemed to have used his innate divine ability. He aimed at the eyes of the backward-flying ancient lizard and, like a sharp sword, directly stabbed forward.

"Boom~"

"Roar~"

As Mao Qiu's entire body, glowing with scorching golden light, crashed into the ancient lizard's eye, Mao Qiu's two small claws instantly lifted, and with that single impact, they directly pierced into the opponent's eyeball.

Upon realizing what had happened, Mao Qiu, without hesitation, wreaked havoc inside the opponent's brain. In less than ten minutes, this King-level Second Layer Fierce Beast was directly killed by Mao Qiu from within its own brain.

...

Just as Mao Qiu and his group finally dealt with Hong Zong's opponent, on the other side, approximately eighty thousand li from Bei Guan City, relatively closer to the Flowing Land where North Mang City was located.

Here, a massive, thousand-meter Black Tortoise stood as unmoving as an unshakeable mountain in the world.

Around Xuan Ming, a King-level Fourth Layer expert, whose body emanated an extremely dangerous aura, was trying to break through Xuan Ming's defense.

But unfortunately, after enduring for so many days, this enormous 'turtle' could not be killed, no matter what he did.

And what was most infuriating was that this 'turtle' was even using layers of mentally destructive spiritual attacks on him.

This was the terrifying aspect of a Super Divine Beast: no weaknesses, capable of both offense and defense.

Facing this unkillable Xuan Ming, the King-level Fourth Layer expert had been racking his brains for many days and finally found a method: to refine him. He would forcibly refine the opponent using his superior strength.
