Pursued, He Encountered a Mad Old Man

The Specter gave swift chase, with no intention of letting the delicacy already in its grasp escape.

But Su Fang, who had long since planned his retreat, took advantage of the gap created by the Creation Flame's attack. His body flickered, and he fled for his life.

Su Fang was agile, moving his body at the fastest speed possible. In the brief span of three or four breaths, he had already run several hundred meters.

This was all thanks to the black-and-white power Su Fang had absorbed earlier. Otherwise, his body would never have been able to endure such rapid running.

Within the Gods and Devils Cemetery, it was impossible to see what the sky looked like.

The overcast clouds now blanketed its original colors. Looking up, one could see only a sky full of blood-red hues or utter darkness.

Deep within the cemetery.

Su Fang was fleeing at top speed, his entire body radiating an indescribable aura. Amid such violent motion, rumbling sounds seemed to erupt from all over him.

Although he was running for his life, Su Fang understood something in his heart.

It seems I'll soon break through the Martial Soldier Realm and reach the Martial Artist Realm! Su Fang thought.

Of the surrounding tombs, some were protected by enormous formations, some stood alone in isolation, while most formed vast clusters of graves.

Su Fang employed the movement technique he had cultivated before, darting like a loach into the various tombs protected by formations.

"Damn it, why is this brat as slippery as a loach?!"

A full quarter-hour passed. Although Li Junhao pursued him desperately, unleashing all the strength of the fourth layer of the Martial Sect Realm, he still could not capture Su Fang at once.

"You little bastard, once I catch you, I'll make you regret it!"

As for the elusive, ever-shifting Yin Wraith, it was even more frantic.

To Su Fang, this Yin Wraith was not a threat at all. Instead, it was a delicious little snack.

Yet whenever the Yin Wraith tried to approach Su Fang, the Creation Flame within him would erupt with an incomparably brilliant blaze and bombard the Yin Wraith.

The Yin Wraith's face turned livid. This flame filled it with terror; it even felt the danger of having its soul scattered to the winds, forcing it to remain constantly wary of Su Fang.

"Damnable brat, what kind of flame is this?!" The Yin Wraith stared at Su Fang, gritting its teeth in hatred.

For a time, Su Fang, the Yin Wraith, and Li Junhao formed a strange balance. None of them could do anything to the others.

"Damn it! When this fellow was sent in, he clearly had no cultivation whatsoever. Why can he now unleash such powerful strength!

"And that bizarre flame—why can even my soul feel its piercing pain?!

"I have to capture him and pry open every secret on his body. Only then might I have a chance to escape this prison!"

Though Li Junhao pursued with all his might, he had already made up his mind to seize Su Fang and force him to reveal his secrets.

As for Su Fang exposing what he had done?

Li Junhao did not care about such things in the slightest. In this vast Gods and Devils Cemetery, how many people had clean hands? And how many were willing to trust those around them?

As long as he refused to admit it, Su Fang could talk until the sky broke and it would be useless. Besides, he could hardly seek out a Yin Wraith to testify for him.

"Su Fang, damn you! You little mongrel—if you stop, I'll at least leave you an intact corpse!"

Li Junhao immediately began cursing again. Su Fang's speed and movement technique were simply too bizarre.

His cultivation was clearly still below the Martial Artist Realm, yet his speed was extraordinarily fast.

Moreover, he was completely unafraid of Yin Qi entering his body.

But Li Junhao could not ignore the Yin Baleful Qi here as Su Fang did.

Not only did Li Junhao need to suppress the Yin Baleful Qi around him from invading his body, he also had to pursue Su Fang and guard against Su Fang's flame attacks.

"Almost there!!!"

Su Fang, who was running desperately ahead, abruptly turned again and fled straight toward the vast tomb cluster beside him.

Bang!

With a sudden step, Su Fang narrowly dodged the sword striking from behind.

When he had turned just now, he could even feel the sharp sword light brushing past his body.

"Less than five hundred meters remain before I reach the deeper parts of the Gods and Devils Cemetery. By then, even if Li Junhao enters there, he might not be able to withstand it for long!"

Su Fang did not slow his steps. Seeing Li Junhao still pursuing behind him, he continued running deeper into the Gods and Devils Cemetery.

Su Fang had already used his Soul Art to investigate. Within the vast tomb cluster ahead, there were quite a few Yin Wraiths.

Deeper still, even more terrifying Yin Qi and Killing Intent emanated forth. Even Su Fang, who cultivated the Dao Scripture Secret Canon, could feel the chilling Yin Baleful Qi invading his body.

That Yin Baleful Qi was far too terrifying. It was not somewhere just anyone dared to enter.

"As long as I enter the deeper parts of the Gods and Devils Cemetery, the number of Yin Wraiths will increase, and the Killing Intent and Yin Qi will grow stronger. Li Junhao may not dare to follow!"

"If there is only that Yin Wraith, then with the Creation Flame in my hand, I may not be able to kill her outright, but escaping will certainly not be a problem."

At this thought, the Creation Golden Core within Su Fang's dantian was driven by spiritual power. Strands of golden Creation power began pouring directly into Su Fang's flesh.

That was precisely why Su Fang had been able to persist until now, rather than exhaust his strength halfway and be killed by Li Junhao and the Yin Wraith behind him.

Army-Breaking Sword Art, Third Form—Greedy Wolf Annihilation!!!

Li Junhao seemed to have sensed Su Fang's intentions. He immediately took another Solar Stone from his storage ring and pressed it tightly against his chest.

The aura around him erupted at once. Then, using some secret art, he began frantically stimulating the pure Yang Qi within the Solar Stone.

In an instant, the pure Yang Qi exploded outward, tightly enveloping Li Junhao without leaving the slightest gap for Yin Qi to invade.

With that, Li Junhao had the confidence to continue pursuing Su Fang.

"Ah!!!"

A Yin Wraith that had just crept up behind Li Junhao, intending to kill him, immediately let out a shriek. Under the impact of the pure Yang power, it instantly turned into Yin Qi and dispersed between heaven and earth.

"Damn it! There are so many Yin Wraiths here. Is that fellow not afraid that one will suddenly rush out and kill him?!"

Hearing the shrieks at his ear, Li Junhao's expression stiffened. He then darkened his face and continued chasing Su Fang.

Yet Li Junhao, who had once held victory in the palm of his hand, grew increasingly restless at this moment. For some reason, he felt that he might truly fail to kill Su Fang this time!

"Less than two hundred meters remain..."

Su Fang charged toward a massive boulder once more. Just as he was about to collide with it, his feet suddenly twisted, and he shot toward the left.

Bang!

Li Junhao's sword struck the boulder directly, and the spiritual glow upon the blade dimmed a little further.

But Su Fang, who had been about to continue fleeing, slowed when he saw the scene before him. He stared at it blankly in astonishment.

"Child, child, don't be afraid. There are fruits on the tree before the door, and treasures in the latrine behind you..."

A mad old man was actually clutching a Specter's hands with both of his, hopping about as though he had met his best playmate.

The Specter, meanwhile, was like a mouse that had seen a cat. It did not dare react in the slightest.

The mad old man raised his head to look at Su Fang, revealing his yellow, rotten teeth as he flashed a brilliant smile.

"Ah! It's Little Madman! Have you come to play with me?"
