Nalan Chaoge did not even have time to think. He created a clone to distract Mu Tong and bolted on the run.
Originally, Nalan Chaoge had 26,400 points. After painstakingly consuming a hundred Marrow Cleansing Pills to train the tendons and bones of his right foot into an ink-green color, he only had 4,000 points left.
According to Nalan Chaoge's calculations, after the system upgraded, he would be completely able to elevate his rank to peak Dou Master.
Yet he had precisely forgotten that upgrading the system required two Tier 2 Demonic Cores.
"Hahaha, does the genius of the Nalan Family only know how to run?"
Mu Tong blasted Nalan Chaoge's clone to pieces with a single punch, laughing heartily as he looked at the direction Nalan Chaoge was fleeing in.
He then unhurriedly gave chase once more.
This suppression of strength and cat-and-mouse style play filled Mu Tong's body with exhilaration.
On the Dou Qi Continent, the gap between every tier was simply not something mere genius could easily bridge.
If he risked his very life, pushed the Eight Inner Gates to their absolute limit, and combined that with his tempered right foot, it was not entirely impossible for Nalan Chaoge to take down Mu Tong.
It was just that the risk was far too great.
Here in the Magical Beast Forest, with the slightest misstep, neither of them would make it out alive.
What should he do now?
While rapidly leaping and fleeing, Nalan Chaoge pondered a solution.
Right, the system had just recycled one of his Tier 2 Demonic Cores, prompting that some ninja tool exchange function was activated.
Ninja tools?
With a thought in his mind, Nalan Chaoge discovered that his system actually possessed an additional exchange function.
Shuriken: 200 points
Kunai: 200 points
Explosive Tag: 4,000 points
Temari's fan, Gaara's gourd, the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God.
Nalan Chaoge glanced at his remaining points. He still had 4,400 points, so he immediately exchanged for a shuriken, a kunai, and an explosive tag.
In Naruto, the power of a single explosive tag was equivalent to a Jounin's strike. Here, it at least had to be a powerful strike of the Dou Ling level, right?
Weren't you enjoying the chase quite a bit? Then come on!
Nalan Chaoge properly stashed the exchanged explosive tag and sneered in his heart.
His figure flashed rapidly, drilling into the Magical Beast Forest in the blink of an eye. The low roars of magical beasts from not far away could already be faintly heard here.
Right here!
Swish!
Nalan Chaoge forcefully came to a halt, the powerful inertia carving a long trace into the ground.
With his finger looped through the ring at the back of the kunai, he spun it around with great flair before snapping his grip tight around it.
He assumed a defensive stance with his right arm forward.
"Why aren't you planning to run anymore?" Mu Tong lingered atop a large tree, sneering as he watched Nalan Chaoge struggling on his deathbed below.
Taking down Nalan Chaoge was only the first step. The Lion Army, Nalan Jie, the Jia Ma Imperial Family, and the entire Jia Ma Empire were the ultimate goals of the Mu Family.
"I'm not running, it's pointless! I'm only a Dou Zhe anyway, no matter how I run I can't outrun you!" Nalan Chaoge said as if resigning himself to fate.
"You actually have quite a bit of self-awareness!"
"There is one thing I don't understand. I accidentally killed Mu Lu, and my grandfather already compensated you using an Earth Tier Cultivation Method. Furthermore, my grand-father-in-law Jia Xing Tian even handed the Silver Armored Army over to you. Why on earth must you still hunt me down to the last?"
Nalan Chaoge truly did not understand. Even if it was for revenge, were they not afraid of his grandfather finding out?
"Grand-father-in-law? You say it so affectionately. Do you really think that old geezer Jia Xing Tian is acting out of the goodness of his heart to redeem you? He is indirectly trying to curry favor with our Mu Family! You probably don't know yet, but Jia Xing Tian has already agreed to the marriage between Yaoye and me!"
Nalan Chaoge retreated a step in shock, his face ashen.
His mouth muttered incessantly, "How can this be, how can this be, Yaoye is my wife! This is impossible!"
"Oh, that's right, I forgot to tell you. Actually, I don't like Yaoye at all. Once I control the Jia Ma Imperial Family, I'll slowly torture her, torture her bit by bit. Isn't she a military genius? Then I'll thoroughly toy with her in front of the three armies. Hahaha, how is it, does your heart ache?"
"Don't be sad, because you'll get to experience that kind of pain immediately. Oh, I forgot to tell you, do you know why I don't like Yaoye? Only sissies fuck women with delicate bodies-real men should fuck men! Hahaha, I'll let you taste what it's like to be fucked in a moment!"
"No..." Nalan Chaoge "collapsed," clutching his head with both hands and squatting on the ground in agony.
He couldn't beat him in a fight, and he couldn't run away.
"I don't believe it!" Nalan Chaoge stood up from the ground like a madman. "This is impossible, you must be lying to me!" With every single sentence he spoke, he retreated a step.
As expected, Nalan Chaoge stepped backward, while Mu Tong stepped forward, pressing in step by step.
"I'll tear your clothes, pin you to the ground, and gently stroke your tender skin. Hehe, little prince of the Nalan Family, this pleasure isn't something just anyone gets to enjoy!"
"Don't, don't come over..."
Nalan Chaoge stared intently at the kunai he had stuck into the tree across from him. Closer, closer, walk a little further forward, good, just like that...
Thud!
Nalan Chaoge kept his eyes locked firmly on Mu Tong's feet. Just as Mu Tong stepped right into the explosive range of the kunai, he suddenly burst upward into a leap. In the blink of an eye, a hand had already clamped around Nalan Chaoge's neck.
Bang!
He slammed Nalan Chaoge against a large tree.
"Cough cough..."
His calculation had failed!
Stealing a chicken only to lose the bait, Nalan Chaoge's attention had been entirely focused on that explosive tag, never expecting to be ambushed by this fellow.
"Hahaha, Nalan Chaoge, you have your moments today too. Next up will be our-what person?"
Before Mu Tong could finish his sentence, he abruptly spun around.
A figure stood not far away, with a full head of red hair and red fur growing all over its body.
It was massive in build, and at first glance, it looked just like a red-haired ape.
Damn it, it was a Tier 2 Magical Beast, the Explosive Red Ape.
A Tier 2 Magical Beast was equivalent to the realm of a human Dou Master, and what was more, magical beasts possessed tough hides and were naturally much more resilient than humans.
Mu Tong had no wish to waste his energy on a Tier 2 Magical Beast, but with a turn of his mind, an idea struck him. With a flick of his hand, he directly hurled Nalan Chaoge straight toward the red-haired ape.
Nalan Chaoge was not stupid either; falling into the hands of the red-haired ape was about the same as falling into Mu Tong's hands.
The Explosive Red Ape had one particular trait: it was lustful, and furthermore, it was one of the magical beasts closest to humans. Their favorite pastime was mating with humans.
While still in mid-air, Nalan Chaoge had already prepared himself. If push came to shove, he would use the explosive tag to take out this Tier 2 Magical Beast first.
However, when Nalan Chaoge saw the gloating expression on Mu Tong's face, his thoughts shifted and a smile curled the corner of his mouth. Right as Nalan Chaoge was about to crash into the red-haired ape's embrace, his wrist flipped.
Gathering all the Dou Qi in his body into his right hand, the shuriken he had just exchanged rushed toward the red-haired ape carrying the sound of wind.
Seemingly sensing the might of the shuriken, the red-haired ape howled as it beat its chest, dodging sideways to let Nalan Chaoge tumble past it.
The moment he hit the ground, Nalan Chaoge immediately created a clone while his main body moved swiftly to the side, picking up the explosive tag he had just planted on the tree.
Meanwhile, the red-haired ape was still beating its chest and roaring up at the sky.
Whoosh!
Without the slightest hesitation, Nalan Chaoge raised his hand and directly shoved a Joyful Union Pill straight into its mouth.
