85: Wanchuan chases him and flees at high speed
At the same time Long Aotian was slapped by Shi Ruhuo from a distance, Long Aotian's Divine Sense stirred, instantly activating nearly a hundred Level 6 Void Maelstrom Arrays.
The entire Great Stone Town was instantly enveloped by a chilling killing intent. Shi Ruhuo, who was almost exploding with rage, knew the terror of Long Aotian's Void Annihilation Array. If he didn't break the array at the fastest speed, this Void Annihilation Array, capable of killing even Spirit Division Realm experts of their Shi family, could potentially slaughter everyone in Great Stone Town.
He couldn't disregard the safety of the Shi family in Great Stone Town for the sake of killing Long Aotian.
His enraged attack, in less than half a breath, shattered dozens of Void Annihilation Arrays, which made Long Aotian, who was monitoring the rear with his Divine Sense, feel a chill down his spine and cold sweat break out on his forehead.
Damn it!
He was careless!
He had still vastly underestimated the terror of a Mahayana Realm expert!
Nearly a hundred Void Annihilation Arrays couldn't hold out for even a single breath before being completely shattered by Shi Ruhuo's few punches.
"Ruhuo, what happened?"
Shi Ruhuo, who had shattered dozens of Level 6 Void Maelstrom Arrays in his fury, was very troubled. He didn't know if Long Aotian had any more of these strange killing arrays in Great Stone Town that hadn't been activated yet. These strange killing arrays seemed to only require remote control with Divine Sense to activate.
He really wanted to pursue and kill Long Aotian, but what if he chased him out, and Long Aotian, with a flick of his Divine Sense, activated another one of these unpredictable strange killing arrays to attack Great Stone Town? At that time, if he chased out and couldn't return in time to break the array, he would very likely watch the entire Great Stone Town be massacred.
However, just as he was distressed about being unable to pursue and kill Long Aotian, that scourge, Wan Chuan's voice came at the opportune moment.
Immediately, Shi Ruhuo was overjoyed: "Brother Wan, you've come at just the right time. Help me watch over the Shi family; I'm going to chase someone!"
After speaking, without waiting for Wan Chuan's agreement, he shot off in the direction Long Aotian had fled.
Long Aotian's Divine Sense was focused on the rear, so how could he not know that the old fellow Wan Chuan had suddenly appeared?
He hadn't expected this old fellow to actually be cultivating in the Shi family's secluded cultivation room, and he seemed to have broken through a minor Realm. Long Aotian was greatly alarmed. If this old fellow were to pursue him, he feared he wouldn't even reach the Eastern Wilderness Cloud Emperor Cultivation Tower before being caught. He immediately became anxious.
Without time to think further, Long Aotian directly activated all the remaining Level 6 Void Maelstrom Arrays.
"Hmm?"
Feeling the sudden killing intent in the Void Realm, Wan Chuan's expression changed.
"Bang!"
"Damn it!"
Shi Ruhuo, who was about to rush out to pursue and kill Long Aotian, directly crashed into a Level 6 Void Maelstrom Array. His terrifying speed actually shattered one killing array with a single impact, but there were still nearly a hundred more such arrays behind it. Shi Ruhuo was instantly furious.
"Who is that bastard?!"
Wan Chuan, realizing what was happening, also became enraged.
That damned bastard, he had used this strange killing array to attack him just a few days ago, and now again. Was he, the Grand Elder of the Fire Cloud Sect, really to be treated as a soft target?
"Ruhuo, you stay here to guard. This Old Ancestor will go and apprehend this scoundrel!"
Wan Chuan was very angry. While breaking all the Level 6 Void Maelstrom Arrays with Shi Ruhuo, he stopped Shi Ruhuo and said.
..."Very well, then I'll trouble Brother Wan. Please be sure to kill this scoundrel; my Shi family will definitely reward you handsomely!"
"Haha, don't worry. This kid's speed is at most that of a Mahayana Realm Third, Fourth, or Fifth Revolution Stage. I have now broken through to the Mahayana Realm Sixth Revolution Stage. It won't be difficult to catch and kill him.
If you were to chase him, this kid might actually get away.
I'm going ahead!"
"..."
In fact, just as Wan Chuan said, Shi Ruhuo, who noticed Long Aotian's considerable speed, chose to stop when Wan Chuan actively offered to pursue and kill Long Aotian.
He wasn't confident he could catch him if he went, but he was confident Wan Chuan could catch him.
Although he was very angry and wished he could personally kill Long Aotian, his anger hadn't completely made him lose his mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been afraid that Long Aotian had left a trump card in Great Stone Town, and wouldn't have dared to pursue him immediately.
Shi Ruhuo, who remained, immediately sent people to deliver messages to Shi Rufeng and Shi Rulin.
Cultivators can transmit sound through Divine Sense from a distance, but that's only within the Divine Sense's coverage range. The Divine Sense coverage of a Mahayana Realm expert is at most ten million li in radius. A single large district in the Imperial City is five million li in radius, and he is currently only at the Mahayana Realm Third Revolution Stage, with a Divine Sense coverage of three million li in radius.
Shi Rufeng and Shi Rulin had gone to other districts to ambush Long Aotian and had already left his Divine Sense coverage, making it impossible to use Divine Sense to transmit sound.
It was so frustrating!
On the other side.
Long Aotian learned that the person chasing him was not Shi Ruhuo, but Wan Chuan, the Grand Elder of the Fire Cloud Sect, who was idle and looking for trouble. His hatred grew even deeper.
Just wait, you old geezer, you'll get what's coming to you!
Seeing the opponent getting closer and closer, Long Aotian was filled with intense hatred and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his taut Soul even feeling like it was smoking.
"..."
The two Old Ancestors of the Long family, Dragon War Emperor and Dragon War Sovereign, dared not speak, and they had no opportunity to speak at all.
The speed was too fast!
A speed of over four hundred li per step seemed to be rapidly increasing. At this Peak speed, approaching that of a Mahayana Realm Fourth or Fifth Revolution Stage expert, Cultivators like them, at the Ninth Revolution Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, were like weak chickens being tossed about in the wind.
However, although they couldn't speak and were afraid that speaking would affect Long Aotian's escape, the shock in their hearts was indescribable.
From initial bewilderment, shock, and disbelief, to now, terror, surprise, and absolute certainty, this child before them was their Long family's Xiao Aotian!
This Bloodline sensation couldn't be faked!
What had Xiao Aotian experienced to become even more powerful than them, the Old Ancestors? One must know, he was only just over eleven years old!
The two Long family Old Ancestors didn't have time to think further when Wan Chuan's confident voice came from beside their ears:
"Kid, you can't escape. Surrender, and this Old Ancestor might even leave you a complete corpse!"
"Hmph, you old geezer, just you wait. If this Young Master doesn't die today, the Fire Cloud Sect will be removed from the Eastern Wilderness!"
Although Wan Chuan's voice was in the ears of Long Aotian and the others, it was actually just a voice transmitted through Divine Sense. He himself was still eighty thousand li behind Long Aotian, and closing in at a speed of one thousand li per breath.
That is to say, in at most eighty breaths, about five to seven minutes, Wan Chuan would catch up to Long Aotian and them.
However, was that really the case?
Long Aotian clearly felt that his Tai Xu Divine Steps, under the pressure of escaping for his life, was rapidly improving: four hundred thirty li per step... four hundred sixty li per step... four hundred ninety li per step... five hundred li per step!
Long Aotian's flying speed had actually increased by a small margin in just a few minutes, from a Peak speed of four hundred li per step, comparable to a Mahayana Realm Fourth Revolution Stage expert, to a Peak speed of five hundred li per step, comparable to a Mahayana Realm Fifth Revolution Stage expert.
If this continued, what would happen?
When the distance closed to ten thousand li, Wan Chuan was shocked.
This kid's growth speed was incredibly fast, almost unbelievable. If he was allowed to continue growing like this, he might actually slip away right under his nose.
Immediately, to avoid further complications and sensing a growth crisis from Long Aotian, Wan Chuan gritted his teeth and actually began burning his essence blood, desperately chasing after him.
His speed, as a result, surged from a Peak speed of six hundred li per step, that of a Mahayana Realm Sixth Revolution Stage expert, to a speed of nine hundred li per step, that of a Mahayana Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage expert...
