209 Courting Death (1)
In the sky, the Spirit Sword Shuttle turned into a blue streak of light and flew across, leaving a long trail of clouds behind.
A few thousand feet behind him, another purple streak of light followed closely. No matter how many times Jiang Ming changed his direction, it still followed him.
Moreover, there were six to seven streaks of light that were persistently chasing after the purple light. The distance was slowly closing.
Jiang Ming turned his head and glanced at the purple light. Judging from its speed, it should be a middle-grade magical tool. However, the cultivation level of the cultivator who used the magical tool should only be at the late stage of the Qi Refinement Realm.
As for the cultivators who were chasing after the purple light, they could not seem to catch up with it no matter what. It was obvious that their cultivation level was not that strong. It was impossible for them to be Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
“As long as there are no Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, it’s not a big problem!” Jiang Ming thought to himself. However, his eyes became more and more gloomy.
“It’s a pity that I’m only at the Qi Refinement Realm. I’m already driving the Spirit Sword Shuttle as fast as I can.”
Jiang Ming did not want to care about these things. However, unless he used the Mystic Flame Spirit Sacrifice Spell and refined his spiritual power to a higher level, he would definitely be unable to shake off these cultivators.
“However, if I were to use a cluster of mystic fire for no reason, it would really be a huge loss,” Jiang Ming muttered. “I’ve only accumulated a dozen or so good-quality mystic fires over the years. I don’t want to waste them on this!”
His gaze gradually became ruthless. There was only one solution.
“There are crisscrossing valleys and ravines a hundred miles ahead.”
Jiang Ming recalled the map in his mind and fully activated his spiritual energy. The speed of the Spirit Sword Shuttle increased a little.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the terrain in front of them became steeper. Jiang Ming could already see the complicated valleys in the distance. There were cracks and ravines everywhere. It would be difficult for anyone to find him if he hid inside.
He changed his direction quickly and drove the Spirit Sword Shuttle directly into the valley. He flew close to the ground for more than ten miles before he put the Spirit Sword Shuttle away. He then used the Spirit Restriction Seal to completely conceal his aura and hid in a narrow valley.
To Jiang Ming’s surprise, the purple light also fell from the sky and fell into the valley. A figure staggered and fled into the forest.
“Fellow cultivator, please save my life. I will definitely repay you generously.”
A gentle and soft voice sounded. It spread far away with the spread of spiritual power and fell into Jiang Ming’s ears.
“Why does this voice sound so familiar?”
Jiang Ming was stunned. It was Luo Yanyue’s voice!
When he thought about the rotten and uncomfortable aura he had felt from Luo Yanyue’s body, Jiang Ming felt that something was wrong.
“Is she really coming for me?” Jiang Ming frowned. When he left Xiaoqian Mountain, he had already changed his appearance and aura. How could he be targeted?
Just as he was in a daze, a figure in a white dress was gradually approaching where Jiang Ming was hiding.
“As expected, she is coming for me.”
Jiang Ming was hiding behind an ancient tree, staring at a faintly discernible figure in a white dress in the distant forest. Although the figure seemed to be running around desperately, she was obviously approaching him.
Gradually, Jiang Ming could also see that there were traces of blood on the woman’s white dress. Her face was also full of anxiety and panic. If he were an ordinary cultivator who was hot-blooded, he might really have jumped out and saved this beautiful woman.
“It’s a pity that I’m just an old man over two hundred years old. Your trick doesn’t work on me,” Jiang Ming muttered. How could he be tracked even though he had hidden all his aura?
“It’s not spiritual energy. I didn’t take anything from her.” Over the years, Jiang Ming had practiced the Spirit Restriction Seal more and more skillfully, and he still had some experience in hiding his aura.
“That’s right! The smell!”
Jiang Ming’s heart suddenly trembled. He remembered the time he had run into Luo Yanyue. He had smelled an orchid-like fragrance on her body. At that time, he had thought that it was a woman’s perfume and had left it at that.
He quickly used his spiritual energy to check his body and immediately sensed an extremely weak smell on his skin. If he had not carefully checked with a calm mind, he would not have discovered this smell.
Jiang Ming shook his head. It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future.
At this moment, Luo Yanyue was already close to where he was hiding. It was too late to get rid of the smell.
Jiang Ming decided not to hide anymore. He jumped out of the valley and stood on top of a mountain.
“If you come any further, the sword in my hand is going to draw blood!”
Jiang Ming turned his hand and took out his middle-grade magical weapon, the Scarlet Separation Sword. He pointed it at Luo Yanyue, who was about to climb the mountain.
“Fellow cultivator, are you really going to leave me in the lurch? If you save me, I’ll definitely repay you with my body! Perhaps I can help you break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
