Diverting trouble

The so-called Earth Evasion Technique is the ultimate manifestation of the application of the Law of Earth.

One can move and shuttle through the underground rock layers.

Like a fish entering water, or a Phoenix flying into the sky.

It is a quite powerful secret art.

As Du Hao completely disappeared into the ground, Zhong Qing missed him again.

However, he was not discouraged; instead, he grew intensely interested.

Is this guy a loach?

His escape methods are truly one after another, an eye-opener.

First, a Substitute Talisman, then a Clone Technique, and now he has even pulled out the Earth Evasion Technique.

At this moment, in Zhong Qing's Wisdom Eye, Du Hao, who was dozens of feet underground, was using his hands and feet.

Like a gopher.

He was escaping incredibly fast.

In a few breaths, he had already run hundreds of miles.

Zhong Qing was not in a hurry; he simply walked on the surface.

Following Du Hao underground.

Du Hao, deep underground, was running for his life.

His feet were practically smoking.

After running another few hundred miles in one go, he quietly poked his head out.

“This time, I should finally be able to shake him off!”

He let out a long sigh of relief.

His mood was greatly uplifted.

“Indeed, a person always needs to have three to five ultimate trump cards tucked away.”

“There's always one ultimate skill that can play a big role at a crucial moment!”

“Breaking my Myriad Illusion Clone Technique is nothing; if you can break my Earth Evasion Technique, then you're truly formidable!”

Just as he was muttering to himself, Zhong Qing stepped forward and stood before Du Hao.

He looked down at him and smiled, “Is that so?”

Du Hao, who had just poked his head out of the ground, nearly had his eyeballs pop out.

“You… are you a devil?”

With a whoosh, he drilled back into the ground.

He submerged himself another nearly hundred feet deep.

And resumed his frantic escape mode.

At the same time, his heart was filled with a huge question.

“This makes no sense!”

“Although the Myriad Illusion Clone Technique has its flaws and can be seen through by some Wisdom Eyes that can discern illusions.”

“That he could see through my true body, while surprising, is understandable.”

“But I have a Breath Concealment Talisman on me, which can completely mask and isolate my aura.”

“Plus, I’ve run such a long distance underground, how could he accurately pinpoint my location?”

He couldn't figure it out; Du Hao simply couldn't figure it out.

How could he know?

Zhong Qing’s eyes could not only discern illusions but were also so powerful that they could even see through objects.

This time, Du Hao directly submerged a hundred feet.

And fled three thousand miles!

Only then did he start to surface.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to run further.

It was simply that this escape was entirely a physical task.

Running three thousand miles underground was already his limit.

If he didn't come up for air after such a long distance, even with his considerable cultivation, he would literally suffocate to death.

“This time, you surely can’t find me again, right!”

Du Hao looked around.

His heart, which had just relaxed halfway, leaped back into his throat.

In his line of sight, Zhong Qing was leisurely strolling over.

So, while he was desperately fleeing underground, the other party was casually giving chase on the surface.

In an instant, Du Hao’s face turned green.

He couldn't figure it out, absolutely couldn't figure it out.

He couldn't understand how the other party was keeping up with him.

He initiated his first conversation with Zhong Qing.

“Why are you chasing me?”

As he spoke, he had already submerged back into the earth.

Zhong Qing was too bizarre.

So bizarre that he didn't dare to confront him directly.

He could only go underground and communicate with him from there.

“Nothing.”

Zhong Qing replied with his hands behind his back.

“I just wanted to ask, why did you give that thing to me!”

As soon as these words came out!

Du Hao stopped speaking.

He only fled faster!

To be fair, he had only wanted to give away the treasure earlier.

Since it was a gift, he naturally had to choose someone he found pleasing to the eye.

Then, he happened to find Zhong Qing pleasing, so he just gave it away.

He hadn't thought that much about it.

But now, thinking it over carefully.

He had the suspicion of deflecting trouble onto someone else.

That thing was a hot potato for him, and naturally, it was for Zhong Qing too.

So, the other party was here to settle accounts with him.

“Damn it, handsome guys are indeed never good news!”

“Didn’t I just inadvertently trick him once? Why is he relentlessly pursuing me, refusing to let go!”

Forget it, thinking too much is useless, it’s better to escape quickly!

In this perilous world of cultivation.

Even a simple dislike can lead to a life-and-death disaster.

If he were caught by Zhong Qing, he had already imagined a hundred and eight ways to die.

At the thought of death, Du Hao shivered involuntarily.

Life is so beautiful.

Death, to him, was nothing short of the most terrifying thing in the world.

However, in the time that followed.

No matter how he escaped, as soon as he poked his head out to catch his breath.

What met his eyes was always Zhong Qing's figure.

This made his face grow darker and darker.

Thus, after continuously fleeing for a day and a night, surfacing hundreds of times, and seeing Zhong Qing, that bane, every single time.

Du Hao despaired!

Myriad Illusion Clone Technique, useless.

Earth Evasion Technique, completely unshakable!

“Could it be that I, who have been wise my entire life and kept a low profile for half of it, am destined to die here?”

“No!”

Deep underground, Du Hao was screaming in his heart.

“It seems I can only use that move!”

His eyes were grave.

It must be said, Zhong Qing was absolutely the most troublesome opponent he had encountered since he came into the world.

But troublesome did not mean impossible to shake off.

He didn't believe that if he used all his trump cards and exhausted all his methods, the other party would have no consumption at all!

Otherwise, being more handsome than him was one thing.

If his methods were also more brilliant than his, that would be completely unreasonable!

For Zhong Qing, was there consumption? Naturally, there was.

But it was only a negligible amount of spiritual Qi.

This could be replenished at any time.

If Du Hao knew the truth, he wondered if he would break down and shed tears over the unfairness of the Dao.

On a snow-capped mountain.

Zhong Qing, who had been chasing for a day and a night, looked at Du Hao, whose eyeballs were rolling frantically underground.

He sighed in his heart.

This guy was truly a talent.

With the combination of the Clone Technique and Earth Evasion Technique, he had played out three hundred and sixty-five variations of escape methods.

And each one was unique.

He really wanted to see what new tricks the other party would come up with this time.

Deep underground.

Du Hao, left with no choice, decided to use his last trump card.

How many years had it been!

How many years had it been since he was forced into such a predicament by someone.

Now, being chased like a dead dog by Zhong Qing.

This filled his heart with endless indignation.

“You just wait for me!”

“A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late!”

“Once I attain the Dao Fruit position of a Great Emperor, I will come back to settle today’s total score!”

If these words were heard by others, their blood pressure would instantly shoot up.

Achieve the Great Emperor position before seeking revenge? You call this a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late?

Setting aside whether you can achieve the Great Emperor position, even if you can, that would be at least ten thousand years from now.

Your revenge spanning such a long timeline is truly grand.

Of course, sometimes the thought processes between people are not interconnected.

For Du Hao, what was wrong with a longer time span?

Whether to seek revenge or not is secondary; the key is to be steady!

Everything must be based on the principle of safety first.

As for what if the enemy is dead when you become a Great Emperor?

That’s simple!

Dance at the enemy's grave, tell him he's gone, and you, you've become an invincible Great Emperor.

Is there any revenge more satisfying than that?

Of course, thinking about these things now is too early; Du Hao's immediate priority is to escape his current predicament.
