“He escaped?”
Due to his shock at seeing Du Kun run away so quickly, Nie Tian was frozen to the spot and was unable to react immediately.
He didn’t know that the Ghost Sect’s disciples regarded injuries to their souls as way more serious than physical injuries.
The Ghost Sect was most skilled at relying on their superior mental strength to attack the mental consciousness of their enemies and in doing so, gain an advantage during a fight with their enemies.
However, once their mental attacks became useless upon meeting opponents, who had a stronger mental strength, the rest of their tactics would usually not yield good results.
And Du Kun was already convinced that Nie Tian’s mental strength was much stronger compared to his own mental strength.
This was because he was unable to use his “advantage” to seriously wound Nie Tian and had even suffered a backlash in the process, which had inflicted a serious injury to his soul.
He decided to be cautious and not continue to fight with Nie Tian. All he wanted to do was to leave as soon as possible and heal his soul injury first.
- Hu! -
Du Kun had his heart intent on escaping and appeared to have morphed into a shadow, whose shape was constantly shifting and moving at an extremely high speed.
“You cannot escape.”
Nie Tian finally reacted as he coldly snorted. His body flashed into a long streak, as he began to aggressively chase Du Kun.
At that moment, he no longer felt the pain in his chest and the ten injuries that had been inflicted by Du Kun had long since stopped bleeding.
The energy started from his abdomen and began to scatter throughout his body, causing him to feel full of energy, as though he would never be tired.
Du Kun was in a state of panic and continuously withdrew spirit qi from his body and continued to increase his speed.
As for Nie Tian, whenever he lost sight of Du Kun due to the hills blocking his line of sight, he would use his mental consciousness to feel and scan the area. In this way, he was able to once again accurately locate Du Kun’s whereabouts.
Nie Tian’s keen senses were just like the Blood Sect’s blood-seeking compass and could detect all signs of life within a one hundred meter radius.
As such, Du Kun was completely unable to use the terrain and the coverage of the hills to cause Nie Tian to lose sight of him.
No matter what skills he used or how skilfully he used the terrain, Nie Tian was always able to pinpoint his location.
Various mystical arts and escape skills of the Ghost Sect were used by Du Kun in an experienced matter, but were useless and only caused him to exert even more energy.
When Du Kun noticed that even though he had obviously vanished from Nie Tian’s line of sight, yet Nie Tian could discover his location again, he started to become anxious.
He started to be fanciful in his escape and took curved routes instead of straight routes.
Compared to taking straight routes, this would cause him to use almost twice the amount spirit qi, but when he discovered that Nie Tian repeatedly closed in on him, he had already unknowingly used around sixty percent of the spirit qi in his body.
Having realised that his fanciful tricks had no effects on Nie Tian, he finally decided not to waste his energy anymore.
He started to use all his energy to dash in a straight line towards the direction of Yu Tong and Mo Xi and hoped that Nie Tian’s speed wouldn’t be fast enough to catch up to him.
“Accept your fate already.” Nie Tian once again emerged, just five meters behind him, and mocked him, “I can see that you have used up too much spirit qi. I can also see in your eyes that you have insufficient energy. Does this mean… that your soul is also injured?”
“Oi! Your spirit sea is injured and you have used up too much spirit qi. Even though you can try to run away, the final result will be that I’ll tire you to death.”
“Instead of that, why don’t you stop and have a honourable fight with me?”
“At least you can die with some honour.”
Due to the fact that he had consumed large quantities of spirit beast meat, he was full of energy throughout the whole time he was chasing Du Kun.
This was because the energy that he was using to chase Du Kun originated from the energy swimming around in his body.
This energy was from the spirit beast meat and not from his spirit sea.
Even though he had already pursued for such a long time, he didn’t use much spirit qi from his spirit sea .
“Our Ghost Sect and Blood Sect’s comrades are just a short distance ahead!” Du Kun didn’t even look back, as he laboured forward and retorted at Nie Tian, “You can continue to pursue me! After a while, you’ll discover that you’re just digging your own grave! When I have reunited with them, no matter how many mysteries your body possesses, your fresh blood will be sucked away by Yu Tong!”
“The Blood Sect’s Yu Tong has already set her sights on you! Once you appear in front of her, you’ll definitely be sucked of all your fresh blood by her blood refining technique and will become a dry corpse!” Du Kun threatened.
“Really?” Nie Tian’s expression didn’t change. “I can see that the Ghost Sect and Blood Sect are now relentlessly pursuing the Lingbao Court and Lingyun Sect’s cultivators without stopping. I have already been separated from them for a few days and they should be close to leaving the barren land. As for your people, they should also have already pursued them for one to two days?”
“It should have taken you at least one day to leave on your own and come over to me right? When you were running towards me, they still continued their pursuit, so for you to come over and now to go back, you have already wasted too much energy.”
“From my quick calculations, I know that it’ll take at least one day for you to reunite with them.”
