Love's Tendrils Entwine the Heart (Seeking Subscriptions! Seeking Monthly Votes!)

Ling Qing knew he was no match for Pangolin head-on, so he did not clash with him directly. Instead, he used sword-flight to rapidly entangle him.

As long as he could keep him tied up and not delay Lu Dongbin and the others from going to the East Sea to save people, his objective would be achieved.

He had only just attained Human Immortalhood. Aside from the Azure Dragon Sea-Churning Sword, he had no other powerful magical treasures.

There was no need to go head-to-head with an Earth Immortal.

Pangolin lunged at him several times in a row, yet failed even to touch the trailing afterimage of Ling Qing's sword light. Anxiety could not help rising in his heart.

He had no idea what Lu Dongbin and the others were trying to do, or where they were headed.

If he delayed too long, he would be unable to find their trail.

After missing again, his eyes rolled, and a plan came to him.

He stopped tangling with Ling Qing and instead dove toward the forested mountains below.

Ling Qing was puzzled at first, but when he saw that Pangolin was aiming for a clearing in the mountains, he immediately understood.

He had long heard that Pangolin's earth-escape technique was marvelous. Relying on that divine ability, he had escaped from the hands of Iron Crutch Li, Han Zhongli, and the others several times in succession.

If he were allowed to burrow into the ground this time, he would likely catch up to Lu Dongbin and the others in an instant.

At once, Ling Qing sent out his sword light, and the Azure Dragon Sea-Churning Sword plunged straight down.

"Heh heh, you fell for it." The instant the sword light reached him, Pangolin spun around and swept his spear across.

Clang!!!
