Whoosh...
A hurried gust of wind swept through the mountain forest.
Quickly closing in on Lan Man.
"Not good, they caught up so fast."
This movement naturally couldn't escape Lan Man's perception. Her expression turned a little grim.
Clearly, the other party's speed was faster than she had anticipated.
"Don't be afraid, Lin Xiaodi, I, your older sister, definitely won't let anything happen to you today..."
A look of determination appeared on Lan Man's face. Blue light rapidly surged from her petite figure, and her already extremely fast speed increased by another thirty percent.
However, the aura faintly emanating from her body became somewhat weaker.
"Lan Jie, you..." Seeing this, even Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel a little moved.
It was extremely rare for her not to abandon him at this point.
Even some friends who had known each other for many years might find it difficult to do this in the face of such danger, and he had only known her for a few days.
"Don't speak, hold your breath and focus."
Lan Man directly interrupted Lin Sheng, her dark blue True Energy enveloping him, protecting him within.
Three powerful auras, two pursuing and one fleeing, moved extremely fast, covering over ten miles in just a few breaths.
The powerful pressure emanating from them startled the solitary insects and fierce beasts in the forest, causing them to flee in panic.
However, despite Lan Man's repeated bursts of speed at the cost of damaging her vitality, as time passed, the surging speed gradually decreased, and the distance between the three slowly closed.
Whoosh—
Finally, several gusts of energy arrived later but faster, shooting towards Lan Man at an extremely high speed.
Lan Man didn't look back, flipping her wrist, she opened her black umbrella to block behind her.
Several muffled thuds were heard from the black umbrella.
Although the attack was blocked, several strands of white energy appeared on the black umbrella, surging towards the True Energy swirling around Lan Man's body.
They surged frantically like maggots on bone, attempting to penetrate the True Energy around her body.
Although they were quickly eroded by the dark blue energy, they still had some effect on Lan Man, causing her speed to slow down again.
And with this delay, a fierce aura from behind quickly closed in.
Thick, mountain-like earthy yellow energy approached, and a spear as thick as a bowl, wrapped in this fierce energy, attacked Lan Man like a venomous dragon.
The powerful might of a God-Form Martial Artist erupted from the spearhead, carrying a palpable threat that couldn't be ignored.
Seemingly sensing that this spear strike was not easy to deal with, Lan Man frowned, her figure inevitably paused. She closed the black umbrella in her hand, and energy surged on it, barely deflecting the rapidly incoming spear to the side.
However, having missed one strike, the other party clearly wouldn't give up just like that.
A giant bright yellow handprint appeared in the sky.
The hand, dozens of meters large, blocked the scorching sun in the sky, descending from above like a collapsing mountain.
Lan Man frowned tightly, but did not move to block it. Instead, she forced a breath to solidify the dark blue True Energy swirling around her, especially the True Energy wrapping Lin Sheng, which became almost corporeal.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, the giant handprint slammed heavily onto the protective True Energy.
Feeling a surge of immense Giant Force, Lan Man's face turned pale, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth again. However, she used this force to instantly shoot out, regaining some distance.
"Haha, Lan Man, you're protecting that kid so much, could he be your Dark Star's seed? Very good, then this time I'll kill both of you..."
Seeing the other party choose to take his palm strike head-on, He Lanjiang laughed wildly, looking up at the sky.
Lan Man didn't reply, only gritting her teeth and rushing forward.
However, due to the previous delay, the ground ahead shattered, and a figure resembling a scholar had blocked the way. He gently fanned himself with a folding fan, who else could it be but the Tainnan City Lord, Zhou Xingwen.
"Lan Man, give up resisting. This time, you cannot escape disaster."
Zhou Xingwen spoke calmly, a smile on his face, looking at the other party as if he were watching a small beast struggling in its death throes.
"Get lost!"
Lan Man's expression was extremely grim. She raised her hand, and a dark blue sword light had already slashed out.
At the same time, she flicked her hand and directly threw Lin Sheng towards the mountain forest on the side.
"You go first! Run as fast as you can..."
Lin Sheng, wrapped in Lan Man's True Energy, fell into the mountain forest at an extremely high speed.
The True Energy around him was like a solid protective film. Although the force was great, it was stable, allowing him to land on the ground.
"At this point, do you think either of you can escape? Ridiculous..."
At this moment, He Lanjiang's figure appeared. Looking at the flying Lin Sheng, his face was full of mocking smiles. He raised his hand and threw the spear in his hand towards Lin Sheng.
He was just a small Martial Artist in the Bone Transformation Realm. Even if he was Dark Star's Genius seed, without growing up, he was as fragile as an ant in front of him.
So after only throwing the spear, he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he and Zhou Xingwen attacked Lan Man from front and back.
After all, the Lan Man before them was their true target for this trip. As for this so-called seed, he was just a small fish on the side. The current Lan Man was at the end of her strength. Taking this opportunity, they wanted to kill her on the spot to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
"Bright Light Great Handprint!"
He Lanjiang's aura surged around him, his entire figure expanded. The thick scales attached to his body continuously grew. After swallowing the Dragon Demon Great Pill, his previous combat losses had basically recovered. A giant handprint formed by a large amount of True Energy appeared out of thin air, smashing towards Lan Man.
On the other side, Zhou Xingwen's skin was covered in white fuzz, and his white True Energy surged. An bone-chilling cold aura emanated from him, instantly causing the surrounding temperature to plummet, as if entering the extreme north.
The next moment, his figure transformed into a white phantom, leaving a string of afterimages as he attacked Lan Man from all sides.
Lan Man opened her black umbrella to defend, but already at the end of her strength, facing two opponents no weaker than her, she only managed to hold on for a few moves before being sent flying by the powerful energy.
Even the black umbrella in her hand was accidentally knocked away, and her petite figure fell towards the ground. The True Energy surging around her flickered intermittently, extremely weak, as if it could extinguish at any moment.
However, He Lanjiang and Zhou Xingwen showed no intention of giving her a moment to breathe.
The giant hand formed by condensed True Energy slammed towards Lan Man without any obstruction.
Lan Man wanted to resist, but she opened her mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Although the protective True Energy had extremely strong defensive capabilities after reaching the Divine Transformation Realm, it was limited. At this moment, she had reached her limit, and even the continuously generated True Energy within her body showed signs of depletion.
This was due to her excessive consumption. At this moment, she no longer had the strength to block this palm strike.
Lan Man raised her hands to block in front of her, while simultaneously curling her body, trying to minimize the damage from the attack that was about to land on her.
"Overestimating herself..."
Seeing this scene, He Lanjiang's face showed a mocking smile.
The Cultivation Technique Lan Man practiced was not known for its defense, and her internal energy was basically exhausted at this moment. She was foolish enough to want to take his attack head-on with her mortal body.
"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish."
With a cold snort, he increased the energy in his hand, and the earthy yellow hand grabbing towards Lan Man's aura instantly surged by thirty percent.
Before it even landed, the vegetation and rocks in the ground were crushed and shattered by the enormous pressure.
Hiss—
Just then, a strong gust of wind suddenly shot out from the mountain forest on the side, heading straight for He Lanjiang in mid-air.
The wind was extremely fast, leaving a string of dense sonic booms in its wake.
Before the sound even reached their ears, the wind had already arrived.
Feeling the powerful force carried by the wind, He Lanjiang frowned.
However, he had no intention of retracting his attack. He raised his other hand, clenched it into a fist, and smashed it out fiercely.
The wind and the fist collided, emitting a muffled sound. The powerful force caused his body to shake, but as his palm suddenly expanded by a circle, he directly blocked the wind.
It was then that he clearly saw that the object shot towards him was incredibly familiar, it was his weapon, the Evil Fiend Tiger Head Spear.
And at this moment, the massive handprint in the sky had also landed.
A deep, hand-shaped pit appeared in the ground.
However, the scene of flesh and blood flying in the pit did not appear.
Instead, a tall figure with a bare upper body stood with his back to the two, half-kneeling on the ground.
His broad and thick back muscles were knotted like thick tree roots intertwined, but the muscles were dark red and showed obvious indentations, as if they had been pressed by a Wanjun heavy object.
"Phew... As expected of a God-Form Martial Artist, such an attack... it hurts so much..."
The figure slowly spoke, but there was no hint of injury or weakness in his words. Instead, they carried intense excitement.
The half-kneeling figure slowly rose, holding a small and weak figure in his arms.
"Lin... Xiaodi!!?"
Feeling the broad and powerful embrace gradually move away from her, Lan Man's cherry-like mouth widened as if it could fit an egg. Her beautiful eyes were first bewildered, then filled with intense surprise.
"Lan Jie, leave this to me, you should rest..."
Lin Sheng extended his large hand and stroked Lan Man's head of blue hair, speaking calmly. With a flick of his hand, he threw her to the side.
Then, without waiting for her reply, he had already turned around.
At this moment, the muscles on his back writhed. The terrifying indentations had already recovered as before. Instead, the bulging blue veins pulsed and intertwined like small snakes, revealing intense vitality.
"You are Dark Star's seed?"
At this moment, He Lanjiang and Zhou Xingwen's figures landed on the ground, their eyes slightly narrowed, their gazes all focused on Lin Sheng.
They were both filled with surprise that the person before them could withstand a blow from a God-Form Martial Artist and seemed unharmed, especially He Lanjiang, who had not held back in that palm strike.
The gap between Bone Transformation and Divine Transformation Realm was like a chasm.
Even a Martial Artist who had just entered the Divine Transformation Realm could kill a Bone Transformation Martial Artist with a casual strike.
Even some rare geniuses, if they survived, would inevitably be severely injured.
And in their perception, the cultivation Realm of the young man before them was only in the Early Stage of Bone Transformation, no, to be precise, he had just entered the Bone Transformation Realm.
How could someone at such a Realm possibly withstand his palm strike head-on?
"Ancestral Awakened?" This phrase flashed through their minds simultaneously.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but since you're here, then stay..."
Lin Sheng moved his neck. His already strong figure rapidly expanded. At the same time, dense scales grew wildly from his body.
Three meters... Four meters... Five meters...
In just a few breaths, his originally normal physique had expanded into a giant nearly six meters tall, covered in red scales from head to toe, as if wearing a layer of red heavy armor. His eyes were closed, then suddenly opened, his original brown-black pupils had turned into a golden color.
Two bloody lines extended from the corners of his eyes towards his cheeks, forming a strange pattern that almost covered his entire face.
Boom...
The next moment, golden flames surged.
The terrifying high temperature instantly burned away the surrounding cold air.
Even the surrounding vegetation began to burn.
A tyrannical, savage, and violent condescending aura emanated, enveloping He Lanjiang and Zhou Xingwen.
"This appearance!?"
He Lanjiang and Zhou Xingwen frowned slightly upon seeing the huge change in the person before them.
At this moment, they actually felt a faint threat from the other party.
One must know that as God-Form Martial Artists, they had only felt this kind of situation from Martial Artists of the same rank.
However, they also felt a sense of familiarity from his physical appearance.
Soon, they realized something, and their eyes flickered.
"You are the Seven Forms Sect Leader, Lin Sheng!!"
As high-ranking officials of Tiannan Prefecture, which is adjacent to Linjiang Prefecture, they naturally knew what happened in Linjiang Prefecture some time ago.
Moreover, the information they knew was more detailed than others.
They had also sent people to search for members of the Seven Forms Sect.
Although the body transformation of the young man before them had some discrepancies with the intelligence, it was largely the same, so it must be him.
According to their intelligence, the Seven Forms Sect Leader who suddenly appeared in Linjiang Prefecture, although his strength was not weak, his true combat power was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Peak Bone Transformation Realm Martial Artist, and it was absolutely impossible for him to reach his current state.
"How is this possible? How could your strength have increased so much compared to before, or were you hiding your strength!?"
Both their faces showed shock.
They exchanged glances, seeing intense killing intent in each other's eyes.
Regardless of what the other party was hiding, this young man absolutely could not be allowed to live.
"Too much nonsense..."
As the two exchanged opinions, the ground suddenly exploded in response.
The massive figure that was dozens of meters away a second ago had now shattered the ground and crashed towards them like a massive demon beast.
"Bold!"
Seeing that the other party dared to attack first, He Lanjiang and Zhou Xingwen let out low shouts.
They had no intention of retreating or dodging.
He Lanjiang raised his spear, and powerful energy gathered at the spear tip. Using the spear as a club, he smashed it down.
And Zhou Xingwen had no intention of standing by. His figure was as agile as a rabbit, and the folding fan in his hand, wrapped in ice-cold True Energy, quickly slashed out several True Energy blades, heading straight for Lin Sheng's vital points.
Soon, three extremely powerful auras collided.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
A series of muffled thuds exploded from the center.
Lin Sheng's massive figure retreated several steps.
The scales on his palms shattered, and several bloody holes appeared on his chest and abdomen, with bright red blood flowing out.
However, a large number of granulation tissues grew out, and in an instant, he recovered as before.
"Again!"
Lin Sheng moved his arms, a smile on his face instead of anger. He bent his legs slightly, the ground exploded, and his massive figure, like a cannonball, charged towards the two again.
