Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

Xiao Xuan nodded: "The difference in strength between you is too great, so he naturally won't be too ruthless. This may be the last chance we can take advantage of!"

Xiao Xuan's words also reflect that the situation was indeed tense at the moment.

"I need to make some preparations. I'll let you know when it's over."

Xiao Yan immediately nodded, withdrawing his attention from the Three Thousand Thunder Illusions. There was no time for pleasantries; not a single moment could be wasted. His ancestor had said to make preparations, which would undoubtedly be a great help in his escape. Now, his task was to flee as far as possible. If Xiao Yan could truly reach the northwest of the continent and meet the Void Emperor, combining the power of the Void Emperor and his ancestor Xiao Xuan, perhaps he would truly have a chance.

During Xiao Yan and Qing Lin's escape, faint, fragmented bluish-black light kept flashing across Qing Lin's body, and this light also shone on Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan felt that his Dou Qi consumption had decreased significantly, and his entire soul felt extremely refreshed and clear.

Of the two who fled this time, although Xiao Yan was the one making the decisions, the truly stronger one was Qing Lin.

"Qinglin, this time we might both perish at any moment. Are you afraid?"

Upon hearing this question, Qinglin showed no fear, but instead revealed a calm and composed smile: "As long as I can be with Young Master, I'm happy no matter what!"

"I hope we can actually escape in the end!"

"Young Master, you can definitely do it!"

During their escape, Xiao Yan never mentioned the idea of ​​letting Qing Lin escape alone. It wasn't that Xiao Yan was selfish, but that he knew Qing Lin would never agree.

Since they've both been targeted by that person, they have no choice but to live and die together!

……

Throughout their escape, Xiao Yan and Qing Lin continuously channeled their Dou Qi and the incredibly powerful Hurricane Qi within them, allowing them to traverse the continent at an extraordinary speed.

This hurricane energy is completely different from ordinary movement techniques and fighting skills. After being absorbed, it will continuously generate energy in the body that is different from fighting energy. At the same time, the whole body becomes very light and agile, and can travel thousands of meters in an instant with almost no effort.

Meanwhile, during this process, Xiao Yan could vaguely sense that the areas they passed through were causing subtle fluctuations in space. If the person behind them wanted to chase them by traversing space, they would definitely be slightly affected in this process. This fluctuation was not fatal, but in this kind of fast-paced chase, it would keep the latter always one step behind.

It was precisely because of this disparity that Xiao Yan and Qing Lin were able to remain on the run and were never truly caught by the Nine-Star Dou Sheng behind them.

Meanwhile, the figure chasing behind felt a genuine sense of displeasure. He certainly didn't feel that Xiao Yan and Qing Lin were out of his control, but his speed had indeed reached its limit, and the fact that he still couldn't truly catch up made him uncomfortable.

"Once I've truly captured you, I'll definitely take a good look at what allowed you to escape so quickly!"

He had already realized that Xiao Yan and his companion possessed extraordinary escape techniques, which was why they had always been able to stay ahead of him.

He made several attempts, but even at his maximum speed, he had no advantage. He wanted to intercept them in advance by using spatial teleportation, but he found that the two were moving very strangely, not always in a straight line. Moreover, whenever he tore open space to chase after the two locked on, there were always some unavoidable deviations.

It was precisely because of these discrepancies that he was unable to capture Xiao Yan and Qing Lin. In fact, his forced spatial traversal caused Xiao Yan and Qing Lin to travel an even greater distance, widening the gap between them.

After that, he quietly adjusted his mindset, wanting to follow behind and keep pushing them to see how far they could go, since their extreme speed must have a time limit.

A six-star Dou Sheng and a three-star Dou Sheng might be able to use some methods to unleash a speed that surpasses their own for a short period of time, but if the time is prolonged, they will definitely not be able to maintain it.

"Even if we don't compete on speed, just wearing you down will exhaust you!"

Throughout this long pursuit, he had been observing and was now certain: Xiao Yan and Qing Lin definitely intended to head beyond Zhongzhou, and clearly towards the northwest. Regardless of their ultimate plans, once they left Zhongzhou, they would find it even harder to find assistance, and at that point, no one would be able to interfere with his grand scheme.

……

Xiao Yan and Qing Lin, disregarding their own energy expenditure, flew side by side across the Black Corner Region and were steadily approaching the edge of the Northwest Region of the continent.

However, Xiao Yan felt no joy, because with his and Qing Lin's continued use, the Hurricane Qi they had obtained in the initial transaction had been completely absorbed. This was their last remaining power; without the Hurricane Qi's support, they would have no chance of escaping the pursuit of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

The remaining forces can sustain them for a while, but Xiao Yan predicts that the remaining energy will not be enough to help them reach the core area of ​​the Northwest Region.

If they were only on the edge of the continent, the Void Emperor might not be able to detect them. But once they entered the core area, that might be the time when they would truly be captured and controlled.

Against this backdrop, Xiao Xuan, who was inside the ring, finally sent a message.

"I've completed all my preliminary preparations!"

Xiao Xuan sent a message to Xiao Yan through his Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies. Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yan instantly perked up, and much of the fatigue he had felt from the long flight dissipated.

The three thousand lightning phantoms asked Xiao Xuan, "Ancestor, what am I to do?"

"Slow down gradually, and try not to let him notice anything amiss!"

Xiao Xuan's words were firm and resolute, giving Xiao Yan a strong sense of security. So he pulled Qing Lin along and said, "Qing Lin, let's slow down. Don't go at full speed."

Upon hearing this, Qinglin immediately slowed her movements. She turned her head, her beautiful face filled with concern, and asked softly, "Young Master, are you too exhausted? Do you need Qinglin to help you?"

"No, we now have a way to deal with him. First, steady your breathing and focus on accumulating energy, because later... we might need your help."
