135: Chapter 135 A Frenzied Escape

"What kind of flame is that? It can actually resist the Devilish Qi I Cultivate! No, I must leave here immediately." The Bald Man was not stupid; after a simple exchange, he already knew that he, having just awakened, was absolutely no match for the man in the black Dragon robe before him.

"Kid! Just you wait, I will come back for you in the future!"

He cast a resentful glance at Xia Jin, left behind a harsh threat, and then transformed into a ball of black mist to flee at high speed.

Xia Jin watched the black mist drifting further and further away with a calm gaze, then turned around to look at the two women behind him, Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji.

"Alright, you two should return to the imperial palace first. I will go catch that guy and interrogate him properly in a while."

"Husband, then you be careful..."

"Rest assured," Xia Jin smiled, not caring much at all, "That guy cannot pose any threat to me."

After watching Leng Yuexi and the other leave, Xia Jin's Divine Thought spread rapidly, and in an instant, he detected the black mist hundreds of miles away.

"I let you go first, but it is a pity that you cannot escape."

He sneered and then stepped forward.

"Three Feet to the Horizon!"

Space seemed to fold beneath his feet, and a crack in the Void Realm appeared before him; Xia Jin's figure soon disappeared inside.

...

At this moment, The Bald Man, who had turned into a ball of black mist, was gnashing his teeth in extreme anger.

"Hmph! To think that I, 'Viper', the head of the Ten Fierce Generals, would run into such a tough opponent just after awakening today! This is simply the worst luck in eight lifetimes!"

"However, who exactly is this guy? I have never even seen this person before!" As he fled, he frantically searched his memories for any information regarding Xia Jin, but he couldn't find a single piece of information that matched, "Could it be... a powerhouse who has newly emerged in recent years?"

"Forget it, I will go find Blood Corpse first! With his strength, he should have awakened before me. With him around, if I run into that guy again, I won't need to be afraid!..."

He sped towards the Southern Region. Soon, he had crossed the border of the Southern Region and could already clearly see the dense jungle below, as well as the miasma rising from time to time.

But just as a smile appeared on his face, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"Hey, hey, hey, I ask you, why are you running so fast? Where are you trying to escape to?"

Wait, this voice...!

The black mist that The Bald Man had transformed into suddenly stopped dead in its tracks while speeding.

In the Void Realm not far ahead, a figure dressed in a black Dragon robe had appeared at some unknown time, looking at him with a half-smile—who else could it be but Xia Jin?

"You... damn you! You're like a persistent ghost, aren't you?!"

The Bald Man wanted to curse; he had fled with all his might, yet the opponent had caught up so easily!

"Bastard!! Even if you can catch up to me, you cannot keep me here!"

The black mist instantly transformed into dozens of smaller balls of black mist, which shot out in all directions.

Xia Jin frowned slightly, not expecting the opponent to have such a Clone escape technique. But he immediately sneered and pointed to the sky.

"Shenxiao Lightning Technique!"

The sky for dozens of miles around suddenly darkened, and thick thunderclouds gathered frantically with Xia Jin as the center. Within the clouds, purple-white electric snakes danced and wove.

In an instant, several bolts of lightning, as if they had eyes, struck down directly, hitting the fleeing balls of black mist!

The moment the black mist came into contact with the lightning, it dissipated completely within the extreme Yang thunder.

However, the number of divided black mists was quite large. Even though Xia Jin continuously summoned divine thunder and destroyed dozens of black mists, three balls of black mist still managed to rush past him.

Xia Jin sneered, watching those few balls of black mist fuse back together and continue to flee, and shook his head.

He took another step forward, and his figure reappeared in front of the ball of black mist, whose aura had clearly weakened significantly.

"Stop wasting your energy! I said that you cannot escape."

Xia Jin said calmly, then raised his hand and pointed to the sky again.

"Rumble!"

Instantly, the sky darkened, thunderclouds surged, and then a huge silver-white pillar of lightning fell directly towards the ball of black mist.

"You lunatic! You are bullying me too much!!"

A roar came from the black mist.

"Blood Corpse—hurry out and save me!!!"

The huge sound instantly spread across a radius of a hundred miles.

Xia Jin frowned slightly upon hearing this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Blood Corpse? Could this guy still have helpers?"

Sure enough, following The Bald Man's roar.

From deep within the jungle below, a blood-red light suddenly shot into the sky! It instantly appeared above Viper's head.

Just at this moment, the huge silver-white pillar of lightning was about to land on the ball of black mist!

The dazzling lightning made Xia Jin's eyes narrow slightly! The violent energy generated by the collision instantly razed a large area of the jungle below to the ground, and dust and rubble shot into the sky.

When the dust dissipated slightly, a gaunt figure was slowly revealed.

"This guy is his companion?" A strange look flashed in Xia Jin's eyes as he looked up and down at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

It was a gaunt, middle-aged man with two fangs protruding from the corners of his mouth. He held up his right arm, and that arm was already scorched black and emitting smoke, obviously having suffered heavy injuries from the previous lightning bombardment.

However, this man named Blood Corpse seemed to have no sense of pain.

He looked down at his scorched right arm, and his left hand suddenly grabbed the scorched forearm and pulled hard! The entire scorched right forearm was actually ripped off by him and then thrown away without a care.

However, there was no blood at the wound of the severed arm; instead, granulation tissue wiggled rapidly, and in just two breaths, a new arm had fully grown!

"Eh?!"

Xia Jin watched this scene, his eyes lighting up immediately, as if he had discovered something interesting and novel.

"Severed limb... Rebirth?... Interesting! I have never seen this method of yours before; it is quite something!"

At this moment, The Bald Man, having transformed back into human form, saw the person who had arrived, and a look of wild joy immediately appeared on his face: "I guessed correctly! Blood Corpse, you really did awaken before me!"

Blood Corpse glanced at the somewhat disheveled The Bald Man, but frowned, "Viper... how did you end up like this? You are so disheveled, and even your Origin has been depleted significantly."

Upon hearing this, a trace of resentment flashed across Viper's face. He immediately pointed to Xia Jin not far away and said angrily: "Blood Corpse, enough talk! Let's join forces and take this guy down! The Qi and blood on him... are a great tonic for you and me!"

Blood Corpse did not respond immediately but turned around slowly and carefully looked at Xia Jin again.

After a moment, Blood Corpse unexpectedly shook his head and slowly spat out three words:

"It cannot be done."
