“Whoosh, whoosh...”
As Hua Lianyue fled, they repeatedly flung Thread-Piercing Bone Needles at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming wasn't polite either, using his Weapon Vault to snatch every single one of them.
Seeing this, Hua Lianyue cursed in anger. This Weapon Vault was simply a cheat, completely shameless!
“Boom!”
After seizing the Thread-Piercing Bone Needles, Lu Ming controlled the Weapon Vault to smash directly toward Hua Lianyue.
Hua Lianyue pushed their movement technique to its absolute limit, barely managing to dodge.
They knew they couldn't keep this up; otherwise, they would eventually be crushed to death by Lu Ming.
Thus, they simply ignored Lu Ming behind them and focused entirely on fleeing for their life.
During this brief window, several of the slower Wuhua Palace disciples were smashed to death by Big Yellow and the others.
“Holy crap... stop running!” Lu Ming shouted, refusing to let up.
Hua Lianyue was on the verge of a breakdown.
They had no idea how far they had run, and only a handful of Wuhua Palace disciples remained by their side.
Yet, the rumbling of thunder and lightning behind them never ceased.
Lu Ming led the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect, relentlessly pursuing them with expressionless faces.
The moment they slowed down even a little, Lu Ming would hurl the Weapon Vault at them.
For a moment, Hua Lianyue even felt a twinge of regret. Why on earth had they provoked this terrifying figure?
But what Hua Lianyue didn't know was that Lu Ming was also feeling quite helpless.
His movement techniques were truly subpar.
He just couldn't catch up to that damn pervert.
Frustrated, Lu Ming yelled at Hua Lianyue ahead: “Stop running! I promise to make it quick and painless!”
Hua Lianyue's lips twitched. If they didn't run, they would fucking die!
Lu Ming continued to shout, “As long as you stop running, I promise to be gentle!”
Unable to take it anymore, Hua Lianyue replied in a coy, high-pitched voice, “Little brother, why are you chasing me so relentlessly? Don't tell me you have indecent designs on me? Let me tell you, I'm a very traditional person. If we don't get married, I won't let you touch me!”
“Ugh...”
To hell with you! Lu Ming was so angry he nearly spat blood. No, this person had to die today.
In both of his lifetimes, he had never wanted to kill someone this badly.
Big Yellow and the others felt that this guy was definitely dead meat.
They had never seen Lu Ming this furious before.
This person had truly crossed the line.
“Bang!”
Lu Ming controlled the Weapon Vault, smashing it toward Hua Lianyue once more.
Just then, Hua Lianyue suddenly accelerated, narrowly dodging the blow.
They burst into a laugh. “Thank you, little brother! My evasion technique has broken through! Goodbye... Once we leave the secret realm, I will marry you and make you our Wuhua Palace’s eldest brother-in-law!”
With that, Hua Lianyue sped up again, gradually widening the gap between them.
Hearing this, Lu Ming's face turned pitch black.
“Dammit, I refuse to believe I can't catch you!”
Lu Ming began to frantically circulate his spiritual energy. The vortex in his dantian spun wildly, causing his speed to surge.
In an instant, he pulled ahead of Big Yellow and the others.
“Woof, woof!!”
Big Yellow waved its paw anxiously, genuinely worried that an enraged Lu Ming might run into some danger.
Then, the rest of the group quickly followed.
“Boom, boom...”
The sound of breaking air behind them startled Hua Lianyue. They glanced back.
Oh my god.
They saw Lu Ming charging toward them with a savage, ferocious expression.
Hua Lianyue was utterly defeated. Is this really necessary?
It's just being my husband, is it that bad?
“Little brother, stop chasing! Don't tire yourself out! Once we leave the secret realm, I'll go find you...”
Lu Ming gritted his teeth. “No... I want to catch you right now! I'll only rest easy when you're dead!”
For a while, one chased, and the other fled.
There was no escape.
Hua Lianyue felt bitter. “Fellow Daoist, we have no real grudge between us. Why go to such lengths?”
Their spiritual energy was nearly depleted.
They seriously suspected Lu Ming was some kind of absolute beast. How could he still be so full of energy after chasing for so long?
It was as if his spiritual energy wasn't being consumed at all.
Lu Ming snorted coldly. “No grudge? Humph... do you even believe that yourself?”
Hua Lianyue quickly said, “How about this? I swear to the Heavenly Dao that once I get out, I will never trouble you or your sect again. Just stop chasing, alright?”
Lu Ming shook his head.
“No. If you don't die, I won't be able to sleep.”
Hua Lianyue couldn't help but curse, “You fucking have insomnia, so you want to kill me?!”
Lu Ming nodded. “Yes, you must die!”
Because his insomnia was caused precisely by them.
Sensing that their spiritual energy was about to run completely dry, Hua Lianyue flew into a rage.
“Kid, you're good! Since that's the case, let's die together!”
If they couldn't live, they would drag him down with them.
Madness swirled in Hua Lianyue's eyes as an extremely sinister black mist erupted around them.
Hearing that Hua Lianyue wanted to die together for love, Lu Ming hastily stopped and retreated.
“Sunflower World-Burning!”
Hua Lianyue roared. The black mist around them contracted before suddenly expanding.
Their body swelled at a visible rate, like a balloon being blown up, growing three times their original size.
“Kid, accompany me on the Yellow Springs Road!”
As soon as the words left their mouth, their body reached its limit.
“Boom!”
A world-shaking explosion erupted. Everything in its path was reduced to ashes, and even the surrounding space rippled slightly.
“Holy crap... that was intense!”
Lu Ming poked his head out from behind the Weapon Vault.
Where Hua Lianyue had self-detonated, there was now a massive crater.
The surrounding grass, trees, and flowers had all been turned to dust.
“Grandfather, thanks for your hard work...”
With that, Lu Ming tidied up the corpse that had been blocking his front and stored it away.
It turned out that when Hua Lianyue self-detonated, Lu Ming had not only used his Weapon Vault as a shield, but had also pulled out the floral-faced corpse he had obtained from the Hengduan Mountains secret realm as a double layer of insurance.
“Woof, woof?!”
“Eldest Senior Brother, are you alright?”
Just then, Big Yellow and Huang Tianbao caught up and asked anxiously.
Lu Ming shook his head. “I'm fine. He self-detonated. He got off easy...”
Big Yellow and Huang Tianbao looked at the devastated landscape and nodded.
“These Wuhua Palace people are truly ruthless, actually self-detonating...”
At this moment, Lu Ming felt much better. If he hadn't killed this person, he really wouldn't have been able to sleep.
After all, being targeted by such a person every day made it impossible to sleep well.
Moreover, once they left this secret realm, their cultivations would be higher than his...
At that time, a mere Foundation Establishment small fry like him would be in deep trouble if he got captured.
“By the way, are the others dealt with?”
“All dealt with...”
Huang Tianbao replied, then asked, “Eldest Senior Brother, where are we going now?”
Lu Ming looked around. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cry for help:
“Save this wolf's life! Is anyone there? Come save this wolf's life...”
Hearing this voice, before Lu Ming could even give an order, Niu Lansan had already gone to investigate.
A moment later, Niu Lansan returned and said, “Great Sect Master, there's a misty valley ahead. The cries for help are coming from inside.”
“Let's go... take a look...”
Lu Ming then led the group through the mist and entered the valley.
“Save me! Save this wolf's life...”
Following the sound, Lu Ming and the others saw a Gale Wolf's rear end wiggling back and forth under the root of a mountain.
“Save this wolf's life!”
At this moment, the wolf clearly realized someone had arrived and cried out excitedly.
