"Damn it! They're getting closer and closer!"
Four or five blood-clad figures appeared not far behind Li Changfeng, relentlessly pursuing him. One of the blood-clad figures even threw several hidden weapons, launching a sneak attack on Li Changfeng.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng dodged in a flash, coughing slightly. The men in blood-stained clothes sneered, "Heh heh! Kid, you're seriously injured. You'd better surrender obediently, or you'll regret it!"
Li Changfeng ignored everything and kept charging forward. If he stopped, he would definitely be caught up by the leader of the blood-clothed men. He could only desperately run forward and make a plan later!
Suddenly, Li Changfeng heard the sound of flowing water ahead. A brilliant idea struck him: using water magic to escape might be a good solution. After thinking it through, Li Changfeng rushed towards the river.
The blood-clad men behind him turned cold upon seeing this. "Quickly, hold him off until the master arrives. If he escapes, we'll all die!"
Suddenly, several men in blood-red robes attacked, unleashing a burst of crimson true energy. Each of them struck out several crimson palm prints, hurtling towards Li Changfeng.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng could only grit his teeth and take the hit head-on. He unleashed his true energy and used the first move of the [Vajra Palm of Immense Strength], "Vajra Arrival to Earth." A faint golden true energy slowly condensed around him, and a phantom of a Great Vajra appeared behind him. He then unleashed a violent strike with both palms.
The Vajra phantom behind him also struck out with both palms, transforming into a forty-foot-long golden palm print, which directly blocked the fierce attack of these blood-clad men.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
A series of muffled explosions rang out as Li Changfeng, fighting four opponents alone, unleashed a powerful and domineering golden palm print that clashed head-on with four blood-red palm prints. The point where the five attacks intersected generated a shockwave that shattered the surrounding trees, demonstrating its astonishing power.
"Puff"!
The four people in blood-stained clothes suddenly coughed up blood and were sent flying, crashing into several large trees and suffering serious injuries.
Li Changfeng also coughed up a mouthful of black blood, was thrown away by the shock, his face was bloodless, and his injuries were aggravated. He used the force to escape towards the river, and was only about ten meters away from reaching the river.
"Hmph! Kid, you think you can escape?"
The leader of the blood-clad men arrived and attacked without a word, going all out from the start. He suddenly activated the [Demon God Art] and used [Demon God Possession]. Streams of dark red true energy condensed around him, and a dark phantom fifty feet in size directly possessed the leader of the blood-clad men's body.
Its body suddenly grew taller as if in a frenzy, a single, astonishing horn sprouted from its head, and its entire body was covered in scales. It unleashed a wild and domineering aura, and suddenly unleashed a ferocious, fifty-foot-long, blood-red palm print.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng was immediately alarmed, thinking to himself, "Damn it! This bastard has caught up with me, and I'm only ten meters away from escaping!! There's no other way but to fight to the death!"
Then, Li Changfeng gritted his teeth and swallowed a life-saving pill, directly activating the [Draconic Elephant Prajna] and using the third move of the [Vajra Palm of Immense Strength], "Vajra Body Empowerment". A domineering and fierce light golden true energy slowly condensed on his body, and a demon-subduing halo appeared on his arms.
A powerful Vajra phantom, forty-five feet tall, appeared behind him. The phantom then attached itself to Li Changfeng, emitting a dazzling light. His entire body turned golden-bronze, and illusory runes faintly appeared. Behind him, the awe-inspiring power of two dragons and two elephants was revealed.
He unleashed a fifty-foot-long golden palm print with ferocious power, directly blocking the blood-clothed leader's fierce attack. His power was extremely domineering!
"Boom!"
The fierce and domineering golden palm print and the vicious and ruthless blood-red palm print collided head-on, creating a deafening explosion that directly formed a storm of true energy around them. It leveled the ground within a radius of several dozen feet, and some large rocks and trees were shattered into pieces that fell like rain. The power was extremely terrifying!
Li Changfeng was sent flying by the palm strike, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs in mid-air. His entire body was covered in cracks, and blood was flowing out of him uncontrollably. He was already on the verge of death and fell directly into the river, where he was swept away by the raging current and gradually disappeared from sight.
The leader of the blood-clad men narrowed his eyes upon seeing this. "Having suffered such severe injuries and fallen into the river, he's probably already dead!"
"Back to base! Let's move on and find those four ants and kill them!"
"I obey!"
"Damn it! There must have been a major battle in the direction of the river. I wonder how Brother Li is doing!"
"No! We have to find our eldest brother! We can't let him face those people alone!"
"Don't be impulsive! Rushing over there will only lead to your deaths. Let me think of a plan first. Don't forget what your elder brother said; you must follow my instructions!"
"Brother Li ran to the other side of the river to fight, he must have encountered a very tough opponent and was being chased by them. The only way to escape is to run to the river and use water magic to escape. We can only take a gamble now and hope that Brother Li will jump into the river and escape!"
"Brothers! Let's go along the river to find Brother Li! If we rush to the capital, we'll surely be intercepted and killed. What do you think?"
The Three Idiots of Greenhill scratched their heads. "Big brother told us to listen to you, so we'll listen to you!"
"Alright! Let's not delay! Let's follow the river to find your older brother!"
At this moment, a group of blood-clad men were scattered in various places searching for Detective Peng and the Three Idiots of Greenhill. They had practically surrounded the entire exit from Greenhill Mountain to the imperial city, making it impossible for anyone to reach the imperial city. Anyone who dared to break through would be killed on the spot. Their methods were extremely ruthless!
"Your Excellency! I have something to report!"
"Speak!"
"Reporting to... Reporting to my lord, my brothers and I have searched all the exits leading to the imperial city, but we have not found any trace of them..."
"Huh? No? Do you think they can sprout wings and fly away?!"
Then the leader of the blood-clad men struck out with a palm, sending his man flying, and roared, "If you don't find it, keep searching! Keep searching until you find it! Don't get in my way!"
The man in blood-stained clothes coughed up blood after being slapped, then scrambled to his feet and knelt on one knee. "Yes... yes! I'll go right away..."
"Hmph! You little ants are better off not going to the imperial city; if you do, you'll only face certain death!"
"Fine! We'll just do our job and prevent them from getting to the capital. Once the time is up, we'll be all done! The life or death of these little ants won't matter anymore."
