In the dense forest, Lei Qingqing took advantage of her petite stature and flew through the forest. The thorns and obstacles on the way ahead were all broken one by one by the divine sword in her hand. However, it also invisibly affected her speed and consumed her almost exhausted physical strength.
Behind her, the huge gray Gangyuan chased relentlessly. The huge magic ape was also very flexible. With each jump, it could leap a distance of hundreds of meters. Visibly, the distance between it and Lei Qingqing was constantly being shortened.
"Roar!!!!"
The berserk gray Gangyuan was like crazy. Although the wounds on its body were still bleeding, it simply didn't care about these things as it was bent on taking revenge for that sword. At this moment, it had only Lei Qingqing in its eyes. It wouldn't stop until Lei Qingqing was killed.
Lei Qingqing's face had already turned as pale as paper. That sword strike earlier had almost exhausted her strength. After running for so long now, she felt that she could collapse at any moment. She was simply relying on one breath to hold on.
After all, her cultivation was only at the great accomplishment stage of the True Yuan Realm. There was still some distance to the perfection stage of the True Yuan Realm. And the true essence power of a martial artist at the great accomplishment stage of the True Yuan Realm was really limited. Moreover, what she was facing was the berserk gray Gangyuan, which was basically equivalent to a super strong person at the Core Formation Realm.
"Could it be that I really will die here today?"
Her steps became heavier and heavier. Lei Qingqing felt that her consciousness was slowly becoming blurred. She knew that this time she was probably in great danger.
In this grand competition, in order to get the greatest training for herself, she left all the guards protecting her in secret outside. Moreover, there were rules of Lei Yun Academy. If she brought guards into the mountain, Lei Yun Academy wouldn't be able to explain. At that time, the grand competition would lose its meaning.
"Roar!!!!"
The roar of the gray Gangyuan rang out again. As the sound came, Lei Qingqing only felt a black shadow leap over her head. Then, the huge gray Gangyuan appeared in front of her, blocking her way.
"Roar!!!! Thump thump thump..."
Landing heavily, the gray Gangyuan instantly turned around and roared as it pounced on Lei Qingqing. The distance between the two was almost less than fifty meters!
"Father, it seems that your daughter will disappoint you!"
Seeing the gray Gangyuan pouncing towards her, a wry smile couldn't help flashing across Lei Qingqing's face. There was even a look of despair in her eyes. She knew that this time she was really doomed.
She had almost no strength left. In front of the berserk gray Gangyuan, she didn't even dare to think about how tragic her end would be.
"Thump thump thump!"
The heavy footsteps of the magic ape were getting closer and closer. That kind of unstoppable charge would instantly turn a martial artist at the perfection stage of the True Yuan Realm into mincemeat. Seeing this, Lei Qingqing simply closed her eyes and waited for death to come.
"Roar!!!!"
Just as the gray Gangyuan's figure was about to reach Lei Qingqing, a slightly angry shout suddenly rang out. Before the sound died away, Lei Qingqing felt her body tighten. An indescribable warmth enveloped her whole body and her feet had already left the ground and were moving again.
"Hmm?" Subconsciously opening her eyes, the first thing that came into view was a familiar young face. At this time, she was being held in the arms of this young face and was rapidly darting away.
"It's you?!!!"
When she saw the other person's face clearly, Lei Qingqing couldn't help exclaiming in surprise. She simply couldn't believe her eyes.
"Shut up and quickly recover your physical strength. Don't worry about anything else."
Hearing the girl in his arms speak, Yun Xiao didn't even look at the other person. While darting rapidly, he reminded the other person.
There was an abnormal change deep in Jinshi Mountain. He had originally planned to quietly escape. But he didn't expect to encounter the gray Gangyuan chasing Lei Qingqing on the way. Frankly speaking, Lei Qingqing had left him to die earlier, and he was more or less uncomfortable in his heart. But if he had to watch the other person be slapped into mincemeat by the gray Gangyuan, he really couldn't bear it.
At the critical moment, he finally stood up. Although this might bring great danger to himself, he couldn't care so much at this time.
"Roar!!!!"
Seeing its prey being rescued by someone, the gray Gangyuan immediately became furious. And as its anger surged up, the strength that had been slowly draining away was suddenly increased a lot.
"Roar roar!!!!"
With an angry roar, the gray Gangyuan didn't hesitate and continued to chase Yun Xiao and Lei Qingqing. However, this time the target became Lei Qingqing and Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao had rescued its enemy, so he naturally became its enemy too. So, at this moment, it not only wanted to kill Lei Qingqing, but also Yun Xiao wouldn't be allowed to live.
"Hmm? This guy's speed has increased again?"
Holding Lei Qingqing in his arms, Yun Xiao didn't turn his head back. All one hundred and eight acupoints in his body were operating. His speed reached an extreme. Even holding a big living person, his speed was much faster than Lei Qingqing's before.
Although he didn't look back, he could hear that the frequency of the gray Gangyuan's footsteps had obviously increased, and it was much faster than before. At such a speed, he didn't know if he could escape.
"Damn it. Is this guy crazy? Why is he so persistent."
Feeling the gray Gangyuan speeding up behind him, Yun Xiao couldn't help cursing inwardly. At the same time, the Dragon-Capturing Art that had already been operating at its extreme actually showed a tendency to speed up faintly.
Obviously, in this extremely dangerous situation, his potential was also being stimulated secretly. If he could survive this time, his strength would surely be improved.
"Put me down. With me, you can't escape."
Lei Qingqing was held in Yun Xiao's arms and could see the gray Gangyuan chasing from behind. Seeing the gray Gangyuan getting closer and closer, she couldn't help biting her shell-like teeth and said to Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao could disregard past grievances and rescue her at her most dangerous moment. She was really very grateful. However, judging from Yun Xiao's strength, it seemed that he didn't have the ability to escape with her. If the other party didn't put her down, then both of them might die.
"Shut up and quickly seize the time to recover your strength."
Hearing Lei Qingqing's words, Yun Xiao was too lazy to say more. Since he had already made a move, of course there was no reason to give up halfway. Moreover, the situation at this time hadn't reached a point where he couldn't handle it at all.
Although the gray Gangyuan was fast, they two weren't without a chance. You know, his one hundred and eight acupoints all over his body were not for nothing. When they were all operating, his speed completely exceeded the limit of martial artists in the True Yuan Realm. In addition, the strength of the gray Gangyuan now was obtained after berserk. Such strength couldn't last long. Now it depended on whose endurance was longer. Once the other party's berserk reached the time limit, then they would win.
"You..."
Hearing Yun Xiao's such a tough attitude, Lei Qingqing couldn't help feeling a little wronged. She was completely thinking of Yun Xiao. But Yun Xiao's attitude was really too tough. Speaking of which, she had never been spoken to in such an attitude by anyone since she was a child!
However, she also understood that Yun Xiao must be very nervous at this time. Moreover, everything the other party did was to save her life. Let alone Yun Xiao's attitude was just a bit poor. Even if Yun Xiao really insulted her, she had no right to refute.
Looking at Yun Xiao closely, she only then found that this not very familiar man was quite handsome. Especially the resolute light in Yun Xiao's eyes had a captivating confidence.
She hadn't looked at Yun Xiao carefully before. Because Yun Xiao was mediocre before and there was really nothing worth her observing. It wasn't until Yun Xiao suddenly burst out and disabled Kong Jingyun with one punch that she then knew that the other party was hiding his strength.
It was a pity that when she wanted to understand Yun Xiao, the latter had left gracefully and didn't give her any chance.
"If I can survive this time, I must carefully investigate this guy."
Lei Qingqing had also seen Yun Xiao's strength. Being able to disable Kong Jingyun with one punch already explained a lot. And now, Yun Xiao was holding her and could still have such a terrifying speed. This was definitely not something that a normal young person could do. She even believed that if it wasn't for Kong Jingyun being so aggressive, Yun Xiao might have continued to keep a low profile.
Finally looking at Yun Xiao once more, Lei Qingqing closed her eyes again and tried to recover her strength.
She also understood that the only thing that could help Yun Xiao at this time was to quickly recover her strength. Once her strength was recovered, at least she could lighten Yun Xiao's burden.
"Roar roar roar!!!!"
The gray Gangyuan was still chasing with all its might. However, different from chasing Lei Qingqing before, this time its pursuit was obviously more restricted.
Lei Qingqing was simply running around aimlessly before. But Yun Xiao was different. Along the way as he went deeper, he had already planned his escape route in advance. At this time, he held Lei Qingqing and entered his own track. Not only did he run smoothly, but he could also constantly create trouble for the gray Gangyuan. In this way, although the gray Gangyuan's speed was even a bit faster than his, it wasn't so easy to catch up with him.
Speaking of which, this time it was because he was holding a big living person. If there was no Lei Qingqing as a burden, if it was just him facing the gray Gangyuan alone, the latter's speed might not be faster than his.
The strength of the gray Gangyuan now was obtained from berserk and it was not the real power of the Core Formation Realm. And his own strength had exceeded that of an ordinary martial artist at the perfection stage of the True Yuan Realm. His speed was almost on par with that of a person at the Core Formation Realm. They were about equal, not much difference.
Just like this, Yun Xiao held Lei Qingqing and fled in front. The gray Gangyuan broke through numerous obstacles and chased continuously. The distance between the two sometimes shortened and sometimes lengthened, but it was always maintained at about a hundred meters.
Chasing and fleeing. In the blink of an eye, Yun Xiao had already escaped for more than ten miles. This escape of more than ten miles also consumed him greatly. However, the gray Gangyuan's situation wasn't much better. Later on, the big guy's strength also obviously declined and his speed became slower and slower. Apparently, the berserk period was about to end.
"Roar!!"
Finally, after chasing for about twenty miles, the gray Gangyuan finally stopped chasing. Apparently, it had somewhat resigned. It roared at Yun Xiao's back and then turned around and ran back deep into Jinshi Mountain.
The wisdom of ape-type magical beasts was beyond doubt. As the berserk time limit approached, the big guy's thoughts must become clearer. Once it woke up, it must understand that if it continued to consume like this, even if it could catch up with Yun Xiao and the two of them, it would probably be in danger itself. After all, there were many magical beasts deep in Jinshi Mountain, and there were also many that wanted to devour it.
"Hmm? Not chasing anymore?"
Among the dense forest, Yun Xiao sensed the situation of the gray Gangyuan at the first time. And seeing that the gray Gangyuan had actually turned around and left, he was overjoyed and his speed also slowly slowed down.
During this escape, his physical strength was greatly consumed. If it wasn't for the peculiarity of the five elements true essence, his little true essence power would probably have been exhausted long ago. Even so, the one hundred and eight acupoints all over his body had been almost consumed, and even the true essence power in his dantian had been consumed a lot.
If the gray Gangyuan continued to chase for another ten miles or so, he didn't know what the result would be.
"Phew, I'm so tired. In the future, I really should mind my own business less." After confirming that the gray Gangyuan had left, Yun Xiao finally slowly stopped. "Hey, Miss Lei, aren't you asleep?"
As his figure stopped, he first took a few greedy breaths. Then he looked at Lei Qingqing in his arms.
At this time, Lei Qingqing had her eyes slightly closed and her breathing was very even. Obviously, she had recovered a lot of strength. Hearing Yun Xiao's shout, she quickly opened her eyes and only then found that the two of them had stopped.
"Why did you stop? Where's the gray Gangyuan?"
She had been concentrating on recovering her strength just now and didn't notice that the gray Gangyuan had left.
"Hehe, thanks to you, the gray Gangyuan has gone home. Why, do you want me to hold you like this all the time?"
With the danger lifted, Yun Xiao also rarely cracked a joke. In fact, he had been constantly fighting wits and courage with the gray Gangyuan. His nerves had been in a tense state all along. Now that the gray Gangyuan had left, he also had a feeling of surviving a disaster.
Lei Qingqing didn't know that during this escape, he had been desperately fleeing. He constantly had to take advantage of the geographical advantage and from time to time use his spiritual power to control objects to create trouble for the gray Gangyuan. The consumption in this process was beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
"Ah!!"
Hearing Yun Xiao's words, Lei Qingqing then reacted. She had actually been held by a man all this time. Basically, her whole body had been touched by Yun Xiao. This was something she couldn't even imagine before.
Quickly breaking free from Yun Xiao's embrace, Lei Qingqing's pretty face was slightly flushed. After all, this was the first time she had been in such close contact with a man.
"Cut. You almost lost your life. Why care about these things."
Seeing Lei Qingqing's expression, Yun Xiao couldn't help curling his lips. He also didn't continue to tease the other party. "By the way, where are your teammates? Why are you the only one left?"
Lei Qingqing had formed a team with people like He Bi. Now only Lei Qingqing was left. He couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.
"Don't mention those so-called teammates. In a critical moment, they had already escaped on their own." Hearing Yun Xiao mention He Bi and others, Lei Qingqing was extremely angry.
This time she really walked through the gates of hell. If it wasn't for Yun Xiao's rescue, she would basically have become the food of the gray Gangyuan and not even a whole corpse would be left.
"Those cowards. I must teach them a lesson next time I see them." Frowning slightly, Yun Xiao was also quite indignant at He Bi and the three others abandoning a woman and escaping alone. Counting the incident of betraying him before, he really wanted to teach He Bi and the three others a lesson.
"All right, Miss Lei. It's safe here. We can part ways."
Shaking his head, Yun Xiao put He Bi and others aside for the time being and said to Lei Qingqing.
