In the mountain forest, the tall figure swept past like a bulldozer.
Ancient trees and rocks blocking his path were instantly crushed, turning into dust.
Behind him, the ground shattered, and thick tentacles broke through the earth, surging towards him.
Numerous tentacles tangled and twisted together, forming a giant black python as thick as a water Cylinder, tearing through the air and rapidly closing in.
A single black eye appeared at the top of the giant black python, blinking continuously.
Thin tentacles, like silver needles, poured out from around the single eye, wriggling like countless suckers.
However, in a familiar moment, they reached the back of the tall figure.
Lin Sheng was expressionless, not even turning his head. He clenched his dark large hand, golden-yellow flames surged out, and he turned around to punch out fiercely, hitting the black single eye squarely.
Bang—
With a muffled explosion, the black giant python made of tentacles paused for a moment, then a terrifying Giant Strength erupted like a tide, directly smashing most of the giant python.
Lin Sheng, leveraging the powerful recoil, suddenly accelerated his speed, pulling away further.
While fleeing, he raised his palm, only to see thin tentacles embedded in the back of his hand. These silver needle-like thin tentacles were frantically drilling into his skin, slowly burrowing inside. The ends of these tentacles were connected, forming a black single eye that stared at him without any expression.
Even with his current formidable defensive power, he couldn't completely block the entry of these tentacles.
Lin Sheng frowned slightly, and the flames surging from his palm became even more intense, almost like a solid substance.
As the golden-yellow flames burned, the black single eye slowly melted away, and the thin tentacles, like maggots clinging to bone, also turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared.
However, just as these tentacles were evaporated, Lin Sheng seemed to sense something, suddenly stopped his forward momentum, and twisted his body to dodge to the side.
At the same time, dense black tentacles had already extended from the ground two meters in front of him, narrowly missing him.
Lin Sheng's eyes were sharp. Although he had dodged this attack, the ground in front of him had completely shattered. Tentacles as thick as pythons surged out, connecting with each other. Sticky black liquid surged, forming a thick wall of flesh that completely blocked his path.
And this was just the beginning. Bang bang bang, the ground to his left and right also shattered successively, each producing a thick wall of flesh. Even the sky was blocked by tentacles growing from the flesh walls, obscuring all sunlight, leaving no trace of the sky.
As for the only direction not blocked, behind him, black liquid condensed, and Gongsun Yuanzhou's tall figure quickly appeared, his head full of black eyes staring fixedly at him.
Without giving him a chance to breathe, the next moment, the flesh walls retracted, quickly converging, aiming to completely seal and crush Lin Sheng.
And Gongsun Yuanzhou also took large strides, charging over like a cannonball. As he moved, a large mouth split open on his cheek, and countless thin tentacles wriggled from his mouth, seemingly waiting for a delicious meal.
His speed was extremely fast, crossing a distance of dozens of meters in almost an instant and arriving in front of him.
Three walls of tentacles completely blocked any chance of escape, leaving no room to dodge.
Bang!
With a bang, the flesh walls closed, and the thin tentacles shot out from Gongsun Yuanzhou's mouth, but Lin Sheng's figure was no longer there.
All the eyes on his face blinked, and a rare hint of anger appeared in his eyes. All his gaze fell upon the ground.
In an instant, the tall figure melted into a puddle of black water, rapidly sinking into the ground.
His speed was extremely fast. Even the ground made of hard mountain rocks couldn't stop him at all. In an instant, he had penetrated dozens of meters deep into the ground.
Numerous thin tentacles, like the roots of ancient trees, quickly drilled outwards, searching for Lin Sheng's figure.
Soon, he sensed something, and the sticky black water quickly infiltrated in one direction underground.
"True Yang Change!"
Amidst the low, hoarse shout, a muffled dragon roar followed. The ground ahead violently churned, and a reddish-black large hand stretched out from it, wrapped in raging flames, and slammed squarely onto the sticky black water mass that Gongsun Yuanzhou had transformed into.
The sticky black liquid instantly shattered like a balloon squeezed by a great force, separating into drops of black viscous liquid. However, in the next moment, the separated black viscous liquid quickly converged.
Golden-yellow flames spread from the large hand, enveloping all the black liquid. However, under the burning of the raging flames, the black viscous liquid did not melt and dissipate into a black mist like those tentacles.
Even though Lin Sheng gritted his teeth and pushed the Dragon Flame to its limit, it only slowed down the speed at which the black liquid converged. Only faint, almost imperceptible wisps of black mist rose from it. Clearly, while the Dragon Flame had some effect on this black liquid, it would likely take a very long time to completely evaporate it.
Obviously, before it could be evaporated, the black liquid would definitely be able to converge and recover.
Seeing this, Lin Sheng frowned. Gongsun Yuanzhou's formidable vitality was somewhat beyond expectation. Even the always effective Dragon Flame's effect was not satisfactory.
He naturally knew the power of the Dragon Flame. Even a God-Form martial artist would not dare to treat it lightly. Even when facing Formations like the Blood Demon Grand Formation or the Ice Ghost Grand Formation in the Fu City, it had extraordinary effects.
A situation like this was the first time it had occurred.
Clearly, the current Gongsun Yuanzhou was much more troublesome than he had imagined.
With a tight frown, he didn't hesitate to punch out, shattering the black liquid that was about to converge again.
Although the converging black liquid was shattered again under his attack.
However, this time, the recovery speed was significantly faster than before.
He punched out again and again, refusing to believe it, but as the black liquid continuously separated, its convergence speed became faster and faster.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he decisively gave up attacking.
After a large area of flames surged from his palm and enveloped all the black liquid, he turned around and sped away.
Although the damage of the Dragon Flame to it was much weaker than expected, it did slow down its convergence speed to a certain extent.
Taking advantage of this time, it was enough for him to get away from the opponent.
In a breath, Lin Sheng's figure had leaped out of the ground, and then he fully burst out and quickly moved away.
A few breaths later, the fragmented black liquid underground had already converged into a mass. On the surface of the sticky black liquid, black eyes condensed, emitting wisps of black mist.
As the mist appeared, the surrounding golden-yellow flames also extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they completely disappeared.
On the ground, Gongsun Yuanzhou's figure quickly returned to normal.
The dense single eyes on his head continuously rotated, seemingly searching for something. Soon, he determined the direction and disappeared from the spot.
In the mountain forest.
Lin Sheng's figure was like an arrow, flashing dozens of meters away in a single step.
His full burst speed had surpassed ordinary God-Form martial artists.
Especially in terms of straight-line bursts, each step he took with powerful force caused the ground to shatter. After witnessing Gongsun Yuanzhou's strangeness, he had no intention of getting entangled with him.
Even though his Heavenly Serpent Bone Exchange Breakthrough had significantly improved his strength compared to before, he knew very well that he wouldn't be his opponent.
After all, his attack methods had limited threat to him. With his terrifyingly strange life activity, it was simply difficult to kill him.
Especially those strange tentacles, even with his formidable physique, he couldn't block them. He could only barely offset them by relying on Dragon Flame.
Now that he had temporarily gotten rid of the opponent, his current destination was Changhe Prefecture.
This place is not far from Giant Strength Changhe Prefecture. At his speed, it wouldn't take long to reach the Changhe Prefecture border.
Now that he had drawn Gongsun Yuanzhou away, Qi Ning and Lan Man would definitely take action.
As long as he reached the Changhe Prefecture territory, there would likely be Dark Star experts to meet him.
With a Dark Star Envoy of the Hua Xu Realm taking action, they would definitely be able to resolve this big trouble.
If he was unlucky and there were no experts to meet him, then he would head directly to Changhe Prefecture Fu City.
In a Prefecture, there would always be Imperial Court experts, and there were also powerful Formations like the Blood Demon Grand Formation and the Ice Ghost Grand Formation. They would always be able to deal with Gongsun Yuanzhou.
As for how many Imperial Court soldiers would die at his hands, he didn't care.
After all, the Beast Suppression Army originated from the Imperial Court, so it was only normal for them to resolve it.
Soon, the time it takes to drink a cup of tea passed, and Lin Sheng had already crossed a thousand miles.
But there was no sign of Gongsun Yuanzhou pursuing him from behind.
This made him inwardly breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't know how Gongsun Yuanzhou had tracked them, this tracking method should also take time and couldn't be too precise.
This undoubtedly halved his pressure.
However, to be on the safe side, with a thought, he had already switched Big Yellow and Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey into his body.
As Evasion and Heart Monkey Talent were simultaneously activated, his perception immediately surged exponentially.
Along the way, he occasionally used his Danger Perception talent to detect danger, but he didn't find anything unusual. Even when Gongsun Yuanzhou approached, he didn't detect him, indicating that his mental state had reached a very high level, quite possibly above his own.
Therefore, he had to be cautious and chose to activate both talents simultaneously.
The effect of Heart Monkey Talent in perceiving malice was, to some extent, more accurate than Danger Perception.
Evasion was even more clearly superior to the Crisis Perception talent.
With both activated, Lin Sheng carefully sensed the malice behind him.
"None? Have I completely shaken him off?"
The imagined malice did not appear from behind.
Lin Sheng couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
Originally, he thought it would be quite troublesome to shake off Gongsun Yuanzhou, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
Although he was curious, he didn't slack off at all and still sped forward.
Just as he withdrew his attention from behind, he suddenly noticed that several hundred meters in front of him, a figure had appeared at some unknown time.
It was a young monk dressed in a moon-white monastic robe, looking no more than a dozen years old, with skin as fair as jade and eyes like stars. He was looking at him with a half-smile.
Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng was startled, because the moment he saw the other party, a tidal wave of piercing pain surged throughout his body, as if he had swallowed ten thousand silver needles, making his hairs stand on end and a bone-chilling cold rise from his heart.
This feeling was even more terrifying and vast than the feeling he had when he previously sensed Gongsun Yuanzhou.
This was the Evasion talent wildly warning him.
The Heart Monkey Talent also returned a nearly tangible malice that enveloped him, almost capable of devouring him at any moment.
In just an instant, Lin Sheng stopped his figure, his eyes fixed on the seemingly harmless young monk not far away.
That ocean-like tide of malice was emanating from him.
In his perception, the other party was like an ancient fierce beast with monstrous power, and he was a weak and helpless prey.
This was the first time he had felt this way since he came to this world, far surpassing Gongsun Yuanzhou. Compared to the former, the latter was as weak and fragile as a newborn infant.
Clearly, the monk in front of him was far stronger than Gongsun Yuanzhou.
The truth was indeed as he had guessed. The next moment, the young monk slowly raised his hand and gently grabbed towards the ground.
A mass of black viscous liquid had fallen into his fair palm.
On the viscous liquid, strange eyes appeared, bulging frantically, trying to escape from the palm. However, they seemed to be confined by an invisible cage. Not only were they unable to break free, but they were continuously compressed to the size of a human head, being playfully kneaded in the monk's hand like a toy.
"Not bad, it has actually grown to this extent... It seems devouring Dragon Bloodlines indeed has considerable benefits."
The young monk played with the black liquid mass, muttering softly to himself, as if he had seen something interesting, completely ignoring Lin Sheng's presence.
Seeing that the other party had captured Gongsun Yuanzhou so easily.
Lin Sheng's heart trembled, and his eyes narrowed.
Facing such an existence, he decisively gave up the idea of turning around and running away.
At this moment, a name had already surfaced in his mind for the young monk whose strength was terrifyingly unbelievable.
Tianhong Pavilion Elder, Transforming Void Grandmaster, Three-Eyed Rakshasa Xiang Kong.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Sheng bowed to the young monk.
"Junior greets Senior Xiang Kong."
"Oh? You recognized me."
At this point, the young monk finally shifted his gaze from the black liquid mass. His clear eyes fell on Lin Sheng, examining Lin Sheng's massive figure with interest, and spoke faintly.
"Quite a rich Dragon Bloodline. Originally, I thought you only possessed a relatively pure Dragon Beast Bloodline. Now it seems there are some other auras as well. Although not as rich as the Dragon Beast Bloodline, they are not weak either. A mutated atavist?"
"To have such combat power at this age is truly rare in the world, what a pity..."
Xiang Kong looked at Lin Sheng and suddenly shook his head slightly.
"Pity, if not for the demonic blood, perhaps this humble monk would have spared your life. Now, you can only blame your bad luck..."
"Junior..."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng's heart pounded wildly, but he didn't show it on his face. He spoke respectfully as if in panic, but suddenly raised his leg and stomped fiercely on the ground.
Immediately, the ground within several hundred meters churned, as if a ground dragon had flipped over, and dust filled the air.
But the next moment, the churning ground instantly stopped, and the sky-filling dust disappeared instantly.
Xiang Kong, holding Gongsun Yuanzhou, looked at the empty mountain forest with a hint of mockery on his face.
"Earth Escape Technique? Petty tricks..."
He was not in the least bit anxious, but rather wore a playful expression.
It was as if he was watching a small beast cornered and resisting.
He slowly raised his hand and gently placed a palm on the ground.
Hundreds of meters underground, Lin Sheng, who was rapidly escaping, immediately felt the surrounding soil vibrate rapidly.
In an instant, he was already being carried by the soil towards the surface.
