When Lin Heng said, "Senior Gou Mang, finding you was indeed not easy..."
Upon hearing this, Gou Mang couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"Oh?"
"You're giving up already?"
After all, his allotted time was almost up.
Lin Heng hasn't made any moves yet.
Gou Mang naturally assumed that Lin Heng intended to give up.
However, Lin Heng's next words made Gou Mang's laughter stop.
Finding predecessors is indeed not easy.
"However, I want to destroy this forest to force you to show yourself."
"It's relatively easy for the kid."
As Lin Heng Lin Heng finished speaking, he flipped his right hand, and four array flags appeared in his hand.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Heng raised his hand and sent the four array flags flying.
In the blink of an eye, the four battle flags landed at the four corners of the forest's outermost edge.
The moment the battle flags landed, four beams of fire shot into the sky and quickly solidified.
The great forest was covered by the firelight of the array space.
A wave of intense heat instantly filled the entire forest.
" Ancient Flame Dragon Great Formation!"
Gou Mang was also very knowledgeable and recognized the great formation set up by Lin Heng at a glance.
Having recognized the grand formation, he naturally understood that Lin Heng's words were not unfounded.
With the power of the Ancient Flame Dragon Great Formation.
Furthermore, Lin Heng's Origin of Fire further enhanced this effect.
Its power is enough to destroy this carefully cultivated land of life in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
At this point, Gou Mang had no choice but to compromise.
As Gou Mang's astonished voice faded...
Less than 100 meters ahead of Lin Heng.
Beneath a towering tree.
The space there suddenly began to distort.
In just a few breaths.
A man with a bird's body and a human face, standing on two azure dragons, appeared before Lin Heng's eyes.
And then the man took a step onto the dragon's body.
His physique began to change.
His original thirty-foot-tall body instantly transformed into a child dressed as Mu Tong.
The two azure dragons beneath his feet also transformed into a blue ox.
The Mu Tong rode on the back of the blue ox, soaring through the air.
Don't be fooled by the innocent smile on the Mu Tong's face.
But as he drew closer, Lin Heng could feel an increasing pressure, which was putting pressure on him.
Gou Mang stopped less than twenty meters in front of Lin Heng.
Sitting atop the blue ox, he gazed at Lin Heng, a meaningful smile playing on his youthful face.
"Now I understand why the master chose you as his successor."
"Just look at your ruthlessness; you're exactly like him."
"Back then, in order to force me to show myself, he even tried to burn down my Forest of Life."
Upon hearing this, Lin Heng was surprised.
It turns out I wasn't the only one who had this thought.
Lin Heng smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.
After expressing his feelings, Gou Mang got down to business.
" Lin Heng, I'm sure Brother Dijiang has mentioned this trial to you before."
"I will limit my cultivation to the third rank of the Third-Grade Sovereign level."
"As long as you can knock me off the blue ox's back."
"Then you've passed this level."
"But you only have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
As soon as Gou Mang finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed a stick of incense, which appeared in his hand.
He casually tossed out a stick of incense, and an incense burner suddenly appeared in mid-air.
The incense sticks were then naturally placed inside the incense burner.
The moment the incense started burning automatically, Lin Heng's gaze toward Gou Mang instantly darkened.
'Whoosh!'
Lin Heng transformed into a gentle breeze and vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, Lin Heng was already above Gou Mang's head.
Lin Heng slammed his palm down on Gou Mang's head.
At such an obvious angle, it wouldn't have been difficult for Gou Mang to spot and avoid it in advance.
Lin Heng's palm strike did not kill his opponent.
The plan was so that once Gou Mang discovered the situation, Lin Heng could seize the initiative and take control if the other party tried to evade it.
In this way, Lin Heng was confident that he could force Gou Mang off the ox's back within a hundred moves.
However, something unexpected happened to Lin Heng.
Gou Mang sat on the ox's back, completely ignoring his attacks.
Is he really that confident?
With a question in mind, Lin Heng clapped his hands down.
However, there was no feeling of attacking a physical entity.
Lin Heng could clearly sense that his palm struck the air.
When he slapped his palm where Gou Mang had been.
Gou Mang's figure vanished before Lin Heng's eyes in a blur.
this?
Lin Heng's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.
I did not sense any energy fluctuations or spatial fluctuations.
How did Gou Mang disappear?
Where has he gone now?
"Tsk tsk!"
" Lin Heng, is this all the strength you have?"
Gou Mang's mocking voice came from ahead.
Lin Heng looked up.
Gou Mang and the green ox were floating on the top of a large tree.
The two were no more than a kilometer apart.
At that distance, Lin Heng had no idea how the other person moved.
Lin Heng ignored Gou Mang's mockery.
He could vaguely sense that the other person was trying to distract him and provoke him.
Lin Heng stared intently at Gou Mang, a conjecture forming in his mind.
If it's normal movement.
It simply flies using energy.
Or perhaps they've mastered spatial powers and can Teleportation.
Since we didn't sense any energy fluctuations or spatial fluctuations just now.
Clearly, Gou Mang's movement method surpasses the conventional method.
Considering that he had previously hidden himself in this forest, yet he was completely unable to find him.
Lin Heng also made a bold assumption.
Gou Mang could disappear silently right under his nose.
It must be related to his Origin of Wood and this forest.
Thinking of this, in order to confirm his guess, Lin Heng chose to attack Gou Mang again.
'Whoosh!'
Using the same attack method, Lin Heng vanished from his original spot and charged straight at Gou Mang.
Seeing this, Gou Mang shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"But that way, you'll never be able to hit me."
This time, the mocking voice resounded directly in Lin Heng's mind.
The last word of Gou Mang had just appeared in Lin Heng's mind.
Immediately afterward, Gou Mang's panicked voice rang out again.
They looked in the direction Lin Heng was attacking.
As he slashed downwards with his palm.
A stream of Origin of Fire the ground beneath Lin Heng and spread outwards.
In an instant, it covered an area of thousands of miles.
A sea of fire erupted from the ground.
Gou Mang's body also emerged from a spot less than a few kilometers to Lin Heng's left front.
I sensed that Gou Mang was being forced out by the Origin of Fire.
Lin Heng looked in that direction.
Gou Mang appeared right beneath another large tree.
Lin Heng seemed to understand something, and he waved his hand while standing in the air.
The Origin of Fire instantly overturned the entire ground in this area.
The next second, what appeared before Lin Heng was a complex network of tree roots from underground.
