The next morning, after giving Tang Xi some extra money, Lin Ming and Tang Xi left the inn and began their journey.

On the journey, Tang Xi regained her usual calm, appearing focused on her travels. This made Lin Ming, who had seen Tang Xi's envious expression the night before, realize just how alluring flying was for these people.

Thinking about this, Lin Ming suddenly realized that Chen Yuanlong was truly upright. Back then, this Flying Fighting Skill was in his hands. If he had taken it for himself, fled the academy, and found a place where no one knew him, then no one could have done anything to him.

Lin Ming hadn't thought that much about it at the time, but now Lin Ming felt a little scared. However, his trust in Chen Yuanlong had only grown stronger.

Two days passed, and the city gate was now in sight. Without hesitation, Lin Ming and Tang Xi walked towards the city gate.

As they were leaving the city, a few people wanted to attack Tang Xi, but after Tang Xi unleashed his Dou Ling, they all obediently walked away, and Lin Ming and his group went straight out of the city gate.

An hour later, Lin Ming and Chen Yuanlong met up at the place where they had parted ways. They then headed towards their base. It had been more than twenty days since they left the academy; it was time to go back.

The five of them headed towards the base where the Flying Magical Beast had landed. More than an hour later, they arrived at a forest.

"Stop! I feel something's not right," Lin Ming suddenly said.

"What's wrong? Lin Ming, did you find something?" Chen Yuanlong asked, puzzled.

Not only him, but even Tang Xi, who had the highest cultivation level here, looked at Lin Ming with suspicion, because she hadn't noticed anything unusual either.

"I don't know, but I just sensed a burst of Spiritual Strength sweeping past," Lin Ming said. If it weren't for the enhancement of his Spiritual Strength from refining the Purple Crystal Wings, Lin Ming wouldn't have been able to sense that fleeting Spiritual Strength.

"Be on guard!" Upon hearing Lin Ming say that a Spiritual Strength had swept over them, Chen Yuanlong chose to trust Lin Ming and became defensive.

Lin Ming, being an alchemist, possessed Spiritual Strength far superior to all of them. Besides, they were now teammates; it wouldn't be wrong for someone to notice something amiss and be on guard. They couldn't afford any mistakes at this crucial moment. Everyone became alert.

"Kid, your Spiritual Strength is quite formidable! You actually managed to detect my spying." After they became wary, a voice came from the woods ahead. Then, two figures gradually emerged from them.

Two figures gradually approached, one of them carrying a large knife on his shoulder. Only when they got closer could Lin Ming see the two men clearly. They were both in their forties, and both had fierce-looking faces. The older one had a scar on his face that looked like a centipede. Just that kind of appearance would definitely terrify a child to tears.

"Cui Brothers, how dare you come here?" Chen Yuanlong's voice rang out at this moment.

"Haha, where we brothers want to go is not something you, a mere Da Dou Shi, can decide," said the man with a large knife and a hideous scar on his face.

"Captain Chen, do you know these two people?" Lin Ming asked at this moment.

Chen Yuanlong nodded and said, "These are the Cui Brothers. The elder brother is called Cui Qiang, the one with the big knife and a scar on his face. The younger brother is called Cui Jian, and he's the other person."

"Both Cui Brothers are at the Dou Ling cultivation level; Dou Ling elder is at Six Stars and the younger Dou Ling three stars. They are notorious in the Black Corner Region. Most importantly, they have attacked people from the academy, so they are currently on the academy's wanted list, and many people want to capture them."

"However, the brothers' hiding places are uncertain, so they have been able to roam freely until now." Chen Yuanlong explained the situation of the Cui Brothers.

"Haha, kid. Now that you know about the Cui Brothers, you'd better surrender obediently. Since you each have Little Beauty, I'll leave you with a whole corpse after I'm done with my pleasure." Cui Qiang, the eldest of the Cui Brothers, said with a ferocious grin.

"Lin Ming, you have Flying Fighting Skill, so they can't stop you. After the battle, get to the stronghold as quickly as possible. It takes an hour to walk from here to the academy, but if you fly, it'll only take the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. A round trip will take less than half an hour."

"Leave Cui Qiang to me, and Chen Yuanlong and you guys deal with Cui Jian. As long as we hold them off until Lin Ming brings reinforcements from the academy, they won't be able to escape," Tang Xi said to the group.

Lin Ming thought for a moment. If they couldn't hold out during his round trip, he would be coming back to collect their corpses.

Although they have a numerical advantage, they are at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation. Only Tang Xi is a Dou Ling cultivator, and even then, Tang Xi is only at the third level. It's uncertain whether she can even withstand Cui Qiang, who is at the Six Stars of Dou Ling.

Moreover, the remaining three, including Chen Yuanlong, are only at the Da Dou Shi level, and apart from Chen Yuanlong, the other two are only low-level Da Dou Shi. It is basically impossible to stop Cui Jian, Dou Ling three-star cultivator, with just these three.

Everyone knew that Lin Ming was going to fetch reinforcements, and the Cui Brothers wouldn't waste time with that; they would definitely finish the battle as quickly as possible. Therefore, Lin Ming didn't quite agree with Tang Xi's plan.

Taking a deep breath and thinking it over, Lin Ming said, "I have a Dou Technique that requires charging time. You guys help me hold off the Cui Brothers so I can use it."

"My attack might not kill one of them, but it will at least incapacitate one of them. That way, the rest of you only need to hold off one person, and I'll go get reinforcements."

"Alright, Lin Ming, you can use your skills without worry. No one will interfere with you during your performance," Chen Yuanlong assured Lin Ming. Then, the group went to meet the Cui Brothers and began fighting together.

Seeing the several people fighting, Lin Ming knew he couldn't delay. With a thought, the Purple Crystal Wings extended from his back. Lin Ming controlled the Purple Crystal Wings and flew into the sky.

"Dou Qi Wings, Dou Wang?" Cui Jian, caught in the midst of battle, was terrified when he saw Lin Ming take off and shouted out loud.

If Lin Ming were Dou Wang), the two brothers would truly be doomed this time. A Dou King Expert is not someone they, as Dou Ling), can withstand; they would be defeated by Dou Wang in just a few moves.

"Second brother, don't stand there dumbfounded. This kid isn't Dou Wang. There was a Flying Fighting Skill auctioned at the Black Seal City auction house a few days ago, and it was probably this kid who won it."

"This kid probably took off to get reinforcements. We need to finish this quickly, we can't wait for him to bring them." Cui Qiang, as expected of the eldest of the two, was also startled by Lin Ming's ability to fly. However, Lin Ming didn't give him the aura of Dou Wang. He hadn't even reached the level of a Da Dou Wang Da Dou Shi. So, after some deduction, he figured out the reason and immediately told his younger brother.

After being reminded by his elder brother, Cui Jian also realized what was happening, and the situation that had put him at a disadvantage due to his momentary lapse in concentration was instantly reversed.

And knowing that the flying kid had gone to fetch reinforcements, they had no time to waste, so they attacked with deadly precision. If Lin Ming had really listened to Tang Xi and gone to fetch reinforcements, Chen Yuanlong and the other two would likely have all been killed upon their return.

Lin Ming, now airborne, took out the Star Dragon Saber, circulated his Dou Qi, and began to Blazing Sun Saber Technique.

As Lin Ming Blazing Sun Saber Technique, not only was the blazing sun in the sky providing energy, but the surrounding fire-attribute energy also frantically converged towards the Star Dragon Saber in Lin Ming's hand.

At this moment, Lin Ming felt his operating speed suddenly increase significantly. Upon sensing it, he realized that the Purple Crystal Wings were also providing energy, a process that Lin Ming had not anticipated at all.

However, upon closer examination, it's not impossible. The power and casting speed of the Blazing Sun Saber Technique are enhanced under the blazing sun, and the Purple Crystal Wings are derived from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion can also enhance the power of its Purple Flame by absorbing sunlight. Now that Lin Ming has refined the Purple Crystal Wings, this ability has been demonstrated when he Blazing Sun Saber Technique.

Under the blazing sun, with the fire-elemental energy in the air and the enhancement of the Purple Crystal Wings, in a short while, a blazing sun the size of a head gathered at the tip of the Star Dragon Saber in Lin Ming's hand.

Feeling the terrifying energy emanating from the blazing sun, Lin Ming grinned, glanced at the people fighting below, and then flew directly downwards.

"What exactly did Lin Ming use? This energy is so terrifying even from this distance," Chen Yuanlong thought to himself.

As they approached the battlefield, they watched Tang Xi fight with ease, while Chen Yuanlong's side was in a much worse situation, with all three of them wounded.

"Captain Chen, you guys get out of here!" After saying that, Lin Ming immediately locked onto Cui Jian.

Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Chen Yuanlong and his two companions dared not remain in their original positions and quickly fled to distant places.

"Cui Jian, is it! Let me, Lin Ming, see if you're really that tough under my Earth Tier Dou Technique!"

Upon hearing Lin Ming mention Earth Tier Dou Technique, Cui Jian broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't dodge now; he was directly locked onto by this Heaven and Earth Energy. This made him realize that Lin Ming's blazing sun was indeed Earth Tier Dou Technique. Only Earth Tier and higher Dou Technique could draw upon the Heaven and Earth Energy directly lock onto a target.

Knowing he couldn't dodge, Cui Jian activated his Dou Technique in an attempt to defend himself.

"Blazing Sun Slash".

A loud roar came from Lin Ming's mouth, and then Lin Ming's Star Dragon Blade slashed down little by little. The blazing sun at the tip of the Star Dragon Blade seemed to receive a command, carrying the power to burn everything and shooting straight towards Cui Jian.

Wherever the blazing sun passed, the trees that had been providing shade vanished under its intense heat.

"Stone Cry Fist, block it!" Cui Jian looked at the blazing sun hurtling towards him. Although his legs were trembling, he knew that if he did nothing, he would definitely die.

Therefore, he used a Profound Tier Mid-grade Earth Attribute fist Dou Technique in an attempt to block the blazing sun unleashed by Lin Ming.

After destroying all obstacles in its path, the blazing sun came into contact with Cui Jian.

There was no loud crash as expected; instead, there was only a scream of "Ah! No!"
