The Headless Knight

Although Li Changqing's aura was not enough to disturb all the beings slumbering within the Black Mountains.

However, the Power of Spacetime emanating from the spacetime rift still alarmed a powerful being.

Standing amidst the mountains, Li Changqing sensed the eerie atmosphere around him and was slightly taken aback.

"Where is this place? Why is the atmosphere so strange? Even with my Dou Di cultivation, I can't see the whole picture of this place. Just how big is this dark Mountain Range?"

Li Changqing frowned and released his Soul Force, trying to investigate the situation of these mountains in order to determine the way out.

However, something within the mountains seemed to be hindering the Soul Force's exploration.

"What's going on? I'm Dou Di now, with incredibly powerful Soul Force, yet I can't detect anything. Is something blocking the way, like... Formation?"

Moreover, Li Changqing could clearly sense that what appeared to be Formation was only a part of it; the complete Formation likely covered the entire Mountain Range.

Because of that Formation, both the mountains and the ground were extremely solid.

Li Changqing roughly estimated that even if he used all his strength, he could probably only leave some marks on the mountain.

How shocking!

It should be noted that in the Dou Qi Continent, Li Changqing, with his Dou Di cultivation, could crush a mountain with just a wisp of his aura.

In comparison, this Mountain Range is absolutely terrifying, probably hiding some extremely powerful expert. The Formation must have been set up by a powerful creature deep within the Mountain Range.

Thinking this through, Li Changqing immediately realized that this was definitely not a safe place, but a place of great danger, and he had to leave quickly.

Li Changqing looked around and was immediately drawn to the black mist to the north, located in the central area of the entire Mountain Range.

Within the black mist Twenty-Seven Especially Tall Mountains were faintly visible, their waists shrouded in Demonic Clouds, making them appear even more eerie.

Those mountains were far taller than the surrounding mountains, extremely majestic, each one soaring into the clouds as if reaching into the starry sky.

They are the kings of the mountains, like emperors, reigning supreme over all other mountains.

Li Changqing stared blankly at the towering twenty-seven mountains and the Demonic Clouds, and couldn't help but feel a sense of fear, as if an extremely powerful being was hidden there.

"That place is absolutely dangerous; we can't go there. Also, we need to get out of this awful place right away."

With that thought in mind, Li Changqing immediately turned around and headed south.

Suddenly, the entire mountain range began to tremble.

Li Changqing felt a pang of fear, as if he were being watched by some powerful being. He turned around abruptly.

A tall, imposing Knight clad in black iron armor, wielding a jet-black spear, and without a head, appeared from the outer perimeter of the twenty-seven tallest mountains.

The Headless Knight was extremely terrifying. Even though Li Changqing were a great distance apart, the aura emanating from the Headless Knight still made Li Changqing's heart tremble.

The Headless Knight rode a tall Stone Horse, Stone Horse aura was equally powerful and terrifying. Each time its stone hooves struck, they shattered the Void.

At this moment, the Headless Knight was riding a Stone Horse toward Li Changqing.

Although it was walking, the Stone Horse covered dozens of miles with each step, and the Headless Knight was actually very fast, rapidly closing in on Li Changqing.

Li Changqing's eyes widened, his gaze almost bursting, and he exclaimed in shock, "God, why are you being so cruel to me?"

"It's one thing for someone who just became Dou Di to send me away, but I've barely landed and haven't even figured out where I am, and I've already run into such a terrifyingly powerful expert. God the hell, if you want me to die, just say so! Why make it so complicated?!"

Although he was complaining, Li Changqing wasn't going to just sit around waiting to die.

He didn't even have the intention of fighting the Headless Knight; the two were simply not on the same level, and charging at him now would be tantamount to suicide.

Li Changqing just wanted to leave this eerie black Mountain Range as soon as possible; he didn't want to stay here a moment longer.

He quickly activated the Kunpeng Method, and a pair of Golden Peng Wings sprouted from his back.

With a sudden flap of his Peng Wings, Li Changqing transformed into a golden streak of light and flew rapidly southward.

Seemingly shocked by Li Changqing's methods, the Headless Knight paused for a moment.

It's a pity he didn't have a head; if he did, his face would probably be filled with shock.

But the Headless Knight's speed suddenly increased dramatically, and the tall Stone Horse beneath him soared into the air, transforming into a black streak of light as it chased after Li Changqing.

Although the Kunpeng Ultimate Speed fast, the difference in strength between Li Changqing and the Headless Knight was too great. Therefore, the Headless Knight was rapidly closing in on Li Changqing.

Li Changqing looked back and realized that the distance between him and the Headless Knight was being rapidly closed; at this rate, he would be caught up soon.

He had pushed the Kunpeng Method to its limit; it could be said that this was his fastest speed yet.

But the Headless Knight continued to approach him rapidly; the Headless Knight was incredibly fast!

Li Changqing was shocked. All he could see in front of him were still closely connected Black Mountains, with no other normal mountains in sight.

In other words, he still has a long way to go to escape the range of the Black Mountains.

At such a distance, the Headless Knight could definitely catch up with him, and then his situation would be extremely dangerous.

Thinking of this, Li Changqing was anxious. He had to use every means to escape, even if it meant using the power of Kunpeng True Blood.

At this moment, the Headless Knight who was chasing Li Changqing raised his right hand high and hurled the black spear in his hand.

Although this was the purest physical strength, the Headless Knight was simply too powerful. If this attack had hit Li Changqing would probably have turned into a bloody mist.

Li Changqing felt an intense sense of crisis. His expression hardened, his body glowed red, and his speed increased dramatically as he resolutely began to burn his Essence Blood.

Thanks to the speed boost gained from burning his Essence Blood, Li Changqing barely dodged the incoming black spear.

The black spear slammed into the mountains below, causing several mountains to collapse instantly, demonstrating the Headless Knight's immense power.

Li Changqing became even more anxious and recklessly burned his Essence Blood.

He gritted his teeth, took out the Emperor Pill refined by the Hun Tiandi, and swallowed it without hesitation to refine it.

The escape was agonizing, but fortunately, because Li Changqing decisively burned his Essence Blood to escape, the Headless Knight did not immediately catch up with him.

After fleeing for an unknown amount of time, Li Changqing suddenly sensed that the eerie aura was gradually fading.

Moreover, the distant mountains in sight were no longer black, but covered with lush green trees.

"Finally, I'm about to fly out of this hellish place. According to the tropes of novels, once I'm out of the range of these Black Mountains, the Headless Knight shouldn't continue chasing me."

Li Changqing was overjoyed and increased his speed again, flying towards the front.
