No Time to Explain, Get in the Car

Ten thousand meters in the sky, the gale winds were biting.

The County Magistrate stood with his hands behind his back on the back of a massive dark shadow, like an Evil Immortal, his eyes devoid of emotion as he gazed forward.

"How much longer?"

"Reporting to the Venerable One, it will take about four more hours to reach the Thorn Swamp."

"Too slow."

After a moment of silence, the County Magistrate's indifferent voice reached the black shadow's ears.

The Black Eagle didn't speak, its Qi and Blood began to boil, and in an instant, a layer of black flames erupted.

It was the Blood Burning Secret Technique.

Its speed increased by thirty percent.

It streaked across the sky like a black meteor.

Thorn Swamp.

Ye Xiaofan and Tie Wuqing suddenly stopped.

Ahead of them lay three small hills arranged in a triangular formation, with jagged, sharp rocks standing upright on their backs.

The next moment, Each small hill lit up with two blood-red lanterns.

"Humans, halt. I don't wish to fight."

A muffled voice echoed from the central hill, slowly dissipating in the vast swamp.

Immediately after, countless strange and grotesque Demonic creatures emerged from all around.

There were poisonous insects and wild beasts.

They formed a net, enveloping Ye Xiaofan and Tie Wuqing.

Ye Xiaofan and Tie Wuqing exchanged a glance, transforming into two afterimages as they charged towards the left and right respectively.

"Alas, why bother? Wouldn't it be better to wait for the Venerable One to arrive?"

The mountain-like Thorn Crocodile Turtle spoke with a tone of helplessness, suddenly extending its pillar-like limbs to block the direction Ye Xiaofan was trying to break through.

Its spiky, massive tail whipped towards Ye Xiaofan.

The sonic boom roared, and the gale winds cut like knives.

Ye Xiaofan's heart trembled; the Thorn Crocodile Turtle's strength was no weaker than Xiao Qiaofeng's.

As expected of a great demonic creature guarding a region, even a casual attack was beyond his current ability to resist.

Ye Xiaofan instantly unleashed his Qi and Blood, activating his Qi and Blood Armor to block the knife-like gale winds.

His speed did not decrease as he charged towards the Thorn Crocodile Turtle's tail like a man with no regard for his life.

The Thorn Crocodile Turtle's pupils contracted, and it immediately reduced the force of its tail by half.

This human was someone the Venerable One personally wanted to capture; it dared not kill him.

Its attack was merely meant to force him back.

It hadn't expected this human to be so brave, not dodging or evading, was he seeking death?

"En?"

Ye Xiaofan's eyes narrowed slightly. The Thorn Crocodile Turtle had actually held back.

Despite his confusion, Ye Xiaofan's movements remained unchanged.

Just as the Thorn Crocodile Turtle's massive tail was about to strike.

Wind Shadow Steps!

Sword Drawing Technique!

Six nearly identical figures charged out in six different directions.

"Clang!"

His form was like the wind, his sword strike like a dragon.

The Thorn Crocodile Turtle was momentarily stunned.

A three-foot-long cold sword slashed at the Thorn Crocodile Turtle's tail, instantly splashing countless brilliant sparks.

Then, The terrifying force contained within the sword lifted the Thorn Crocodile Turtle's tail.

The cold sword sheathed, and Ye Xiaofan broke through the Thorn Crocodile Turtle's interception like a gust of wind.

Simultaneously, the other six figures vanished.

"Damn it, as expected of a demonic creature that has undergone two Blood Replacements. My full-power strike couldn't even break its scales."

Ye Xiaofan cursed inwardly, pushing his movement technique to its limit.

The opponent didn't use his Qi and Blood, and just stood there letting me hit him, but I couldn't break through his defenses.

The inflated mindset after breaking through to the Body Refinement Seventh Layer immediately vanished like smoke.

"I'm still a little weakling, I need to run quickly. I hope Uncle Xiao's intelligence is correct, and the Thorn Crocodile Turtle isn't good at speed."

Seeing Ye Xiaofan surge past their boss, the surrounding demonic creatures immediately roared and swarmed over.

The cultivation of these demonic creatures hadn't reached the Body Refinement Ninth Level, requiring Blood Replacement once. In Ye Xiaofan's eyes, they were no different from dirt and dogs.

But there were simply too many of them, and Ye Xiaofan's speed was severely affected.

"Human, I underestimated you."

The Thorn Crocodile Turtle snapped back to its senses, two beams of sharp light shooting from its eyes. Its massive body moved with surprising agility.

Its four limbs moved, and its tail whipped, turning into afterimages as it chased after Ye Xiaofan.

Everyone thought the Thorn Crocodile Turtle wasn't good at speed, but in reality, it just couldn't be bothered to move.

When it came to speed, among the eight great demonic creatures, only the Black Eagle and the Mountain Lord were faster than it.

After Ye Xiaofan killed a Scorpion Demonic Creature at Body Refinement Eighth Layer, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately looked back.

Grass is a green plant!

Who the hell said the Thorn Crocodile Turtle wasn't good at speed?

Damn it, it was already leaving afterimages.

This speed was comparable to Tie Wuqing at full power.

Ye Xiaofan didn't dare to hold back any longer. A terrifying aura erupted, and a fierce fire instantly ignited outside his Qi and Blood Armor.

He took a step forward, once again transforming into six figures, charging in different directions.

A gust of wind, filled with poisonous gas, blew towards him. Ye Xiaofan lightly tapped his feet.

Riding the wind, he covered twelve zhang in a single step.

"Roar~"

Seeing the six Ye Xiaofans cover twelve zhang in almost three breaths.

The Thorn Crocodile Turtle's previous confidence was gone; it was anxious.

It immediately ordered its subordinate demonic creatures to charge at Ye Xiaofan desperately.

Only one of the six figures remained.

The Thorn Crocodile Turtle was outmaneuvered by Ye Xiaofan.

It thought Ye Xiaofan would definitely break through the encirclement and head north.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaofan turned around and charged towards the battlefield of Tie Wuqing and the two demonic creatures.

However, this was something it was happy to see. As long as the human didn't escape, it was fine.

The Thorn Crocodile Turtle grinned and chased after Ye Xiaofan.

After a brief exchange with the Thorn Crocodile Turtle.

Ye Xiaofan felt that if he ran now, Tie Wuqing, with her strength, would definitely not escape.

So, he decided to take Tie Wuqing and run with her.

"You go first, don't worry about me."

Seeing Ye Xiaofan charging towards her, Tie Wuqing immediately shouted.

The two demonic creatures surrounding and killing her were both at the cultivation level of Body Refinement Ninth Level, requiring Blood Replacement once, and were not weaker than her. After only a few exchanges, she was already injured.

Now, she could only barely fend them off using her movement techniques.

Although Ye Xiaofan was strong, he was still a notch below those who had undergone Blood Replacement.

Coming over wouldn't help and would instead delay their escape.

Ye Xiaofan remained silent.

He couldn't break through the Thorn Crocodile Turtle's defenses, but couldn't he break through the defenses of the Thorn Crocodile Turtle's descendants?

He hardened his heart and unleashed his full power again.

"Clang!"

Sword Drawing Technique, a sword strike is guaranteed to draw blood!

With a sword's hum, a point of cold light struck the waist of one of the demonic creatures.

The demonic creature was sent flying directly, and a shallow crack appeared on its black Qi and Blood Armor.

"Alright, I really can't even break through the defenses of the Thorn Crocodile Turtle's descendants."

The Sword Drawing Technique, a sword strike is guaranteed to draw blood, had also failed.

Ye Xiaofan grumbled internally, but shouted:

"Tie gang master, the Thorn Crocodile Turtle isn't slower than you. Get on my back, I'll carry you."

"What did you say?"

Tie Wuqing repelled the remaining demonic creatures with a palm strike, her beautiful eyes looking at Ye Xiaofan in disbelief.

She wondered if she had misheard him.

"No time to explain, get on!"

Ye Xiaofan didn't care about anything else; the Thorn Crocodile Turtle was already catching up.

He grabbed Tie Wuqing's delicate hand and flung her onto his back, then began breaking through their encirclement by stepping on the demonic creatures' heads.

Beneath the faceless bronze mask, Tie Wuqing's face turned as red as an apple.

In over twenty years, this was the first time she had been in such close physical contact with a man.

She was momentarily dazed.

"Tie gang master, I'll run, you kill," Ye Xiaofan said immediately when he saw Tie Wuqing wasn't moving.

There were too many demonic creatures; he couldn't run if she didn't attack.

"Oh, oh, alright."

Tie Wuqing snapped back to reality, repeatedly striking out with bloody palm prints. At the same time, she glanced back.

Her pupils instantly constricted.

A small mountain was chasing them, leaving a long afterimage.

They say Thorn Crocodile Turtles aren't good at speed. It seems everyone has been deceived. Tie Wuqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Ye Xiaofan, do you have confidence? If not, you can put me down."

"How can a man say he can't? Just focus on killing the demonic creatures blocking our path."

"Okay."

Tie Wuqing was not one to be sentimental. She immediately focused her attention on killing the demonic creatures that kept surrounding them. The more she killed, the easier it would be for Ye Xiaofan, and the faster they could go.
