Upon hearing this, Detective Peng jumped up in shock and rushed towards Li Changfeng like a dog, saying gratefully, "Thank you so much, Brother Li, for saving me! I am truly grateful!"
"Alright! Enough with the nonsense, can you even run now?!"
Detective Peng gritted his teeth and said, "I can still run!"
Seeing that Detective Peng's foot was covered in blood, corroded and rotting from the blood mist, Li Changfeng said to the Three Idiots of Greenhill, "You all help Detective Peng walk with us, I'll cover the rear!"
Upon hearing this, the Three Idiots of Greenhill hurriedly said, "Big brother! It's all our negligence that caused this situation. Big brother, you take him away and we'll cover the rear!"
"Stop talking nonsense! I said you can take him away, so take him away! Listen to me!"
The Three Idiots of Greenhill gritted their teeth and said, "Fine! I'll take him away right now!"
Then the Three Idiots of Greenhill led Detective Peng and rushed backward, which only delayed them for a moment. The blood mist got even closer. Li Changfeng looked solemn. He did have a method, but he didn't know if it would work. He decided to give it a try!
Li Changfeng unleashed his century-old Inner Force, activating the Draconic Elephant Prajna and unleashing the third move of the Vajra Palm of Immense Strength Vajra Body Empowerment." A domineering and fierce pale golden true energy slowly condensed around his body, a demon-subduing halo appeared on his arms, and a 45-zhang-tall Vajra phantom appeared behind him.
Then, the 45-zhang-tall Vajra phantom directly attached itself to Li Changfeng, immediately emitting a dazzling light. Its entire body turned golden-bronze, and illusory runes faintly appeared. Behind it, the awe-inspiring power of a dragon and an elephant was revealed.
With immense force, Li Changfeng unleashed a powerful and domineering golden palm strike, slamming into the blood mist. The golden palm collided with the corrosive blood mist, producing a series of crackling sounds. Li Changfeng's palm strike, imbued with a Buddhist power, violently repelled the blood mist dozens of feet away.
Upon seeing this, Li Changfeng was overjoyed. "This method is indeed effective. Buddhist techniques are indeed effective in suppressing evil and heretical practices."
He then stomped his feet and leaped into the air, flying backward. Suddenly, blood-red vines began to lash out at Li Changfeng's ankles. Li Changfeng quickly drew his Azure Rainbow Sword and slashed at the vines, but one of them still managed to wrap around Li Changfeng ankle, slamming him to the ground.
Then, countless blood vines swept towards Li Changfeng. If he were to be caught by them, he would likely perish. Li Changfeng could not sit idly by and wait for his death. He took out his Azure Rainbow Sword and poured powerful and domineering Inner Force into it. The entire sword trembled slightly and emitted a sword hum.
Then he unleashed a barrage of sword light, frantically attacking the countless blood vines. The sword light crisscrossed, directly cutting the blood vines into pieces that fell to the ground. A pool of blood-red liquid appeared in the sky and fell like rain.
A sinister and eerie roar came from the depths of the blood mist. Without saying a word, Li Changfeng immediately fled. The blood mist seemed to be injected with chicken blood, fiercely attacking Li Changfeng and his companions. Every time it got close...
They were all repelled by Li Changfeng's domineering and fierce palm strikes. The battle continued and had reached a fever pitch. Li Changfeng anxiously said to them, "How much further! I can't hold on much longer!"
Big Stooge quickly said, "We're only a few hundred meters away from getting out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Vine seemed to know that they were about to leave, and it frantically attacked Li Changfeng and the others. Li Changfeng was shocked when he saw this, and his 150 years of Inner Force suddenly erupted.
He unleashed the third move of the [Vajra Leg of Immense Power], "Vajra's Wrath," a surge of powerful true energy condensed throughout his body, and a phantom image of a powerful Arhat Vajra appeared behind him. His eyes gleamed with golden light, and he leaped into the air, unleashing a powerful leg strike.
The illusory image of the mighty Arhat Vajra behind him also unleashed a leg strike, stomping down on the ground with such force that it carved a stone slab dozens of feet high. Then, he slammed his palms out, pushing the stone slab towards the blood vines that filled the sky.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
All that could be heard was the sound of stone slabs being pierced. Blood vines pierced through the stone slabs, which were dozens of feet long, and then tore them apart violently, shredding them into dust. Their power was extremely fierce!
Li Changfeng then unleashed the first move of the Shaolin Dragon Grasp, "Retrieving Objects from Afar." Li Changfeng's hands stirred up a thick, pale golden true energy, which condensed into a pale golden dragon claw fifty feet in size.
He suddenly grabbed at the blood vines that filled the sky, then drew several circles in the air, domineeringly twisting and turning the blood vines together. With a force of ten thousand jin, he suddenly pulled, and a cracking sound was heard. They were instantly twisted and broken, and the power was astonishing!
"Roar"!!!
Another deafening scream of pain erupted from the depths of the Black Forest. The blood mist surged and rapidly rushed towards Li Changfeng and his companions, their situation extremely precarious!
"Big brother! We're only fifty meters away from leaving this place!"
The blood mist was too fast; Li Changfeng had no time to repel it and could only grit his teeth and unleash a palm strike to push them away.
Then, his 150 years of Inner Force erupted, activating the Shaolin Bronze Body Skill. A 50-foot-tall Vajra Arhat Phantom slowly appeared, radiating a dazzling golden light. An extremely powerful Vajra Power was added to his body, and a tremendous force of a dragon and an elephant was unleashed to protect him.
Just after activating the [Shaolin Bronze Body Skill], he was engulfed by a cloud of blood mist. The Three Idiots of Greenhill and Detective Peng cried out in anguish, "Brother! Brother Li!..."
Detective Peng pounded the ground with his hands, lamenting, "It's all my fault! If I hadn't injured my leg and wasted so much of Brother Li's time, he might have escaped! It's me! I'm the one who killed Brother Li!!"
He then tried to strike the top of the head with a palm to atone for his sins, but suddenly a broken Vajra Arhat Phantom rushed out. His skin was corroded by blood mist and turned blood red. He knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
This was immediately noticed by the Three Idiots of Greenhill and Detective Peng, who exclaimed with delight, "Brother! Brother Li! You're not dead yet!!"
"Hey! You bunch of guys, do you want me dead that badly?!"
"Hahaha! Brother Li! We're not doing this. Luckily you came out a little earlier, otherwise I would have had to atone with my death to appease your spirit in heaven!"
"Brother Peng! Isn't that a bit much? To atone with death is going too far!"
"Hey! Brother Li! You can't say that. You saved my life, and I have no way to repay you. If you ever need anything in the future, just tell me, and I'll go through fire and water for you!"
"Brother Peng! We're true friends, there's no need for this..."
"Brother Li! My mind is made up, there's no need to say more..."
"Big Brother!!! You're truly a god! To survive in this blood mist and even escape, we brothers are truly in awe!!"
"Heh! If I had stayed in this blood mist for even an incense stick's time longer, I probably would have died too!"
"And you, you're so careless! How could you get a date wrong like this??? You're practically asking for death!"
The Three Idiots of Greenhill scratched their heads and chuckled sheepishly, "We know we were wrong, we won't do it again..."
