Chapter 159: Escape

"A Pursuit Order? What Pursuit Order?" Brother Zhuge Xun asked strangely.

"Big Brother, the Pursuit Order only demands the death of Brother Zhuge Tianxin and requires us to bring back his two women, Nangong Miss Mengli and Ye Ye Qingyu; if the other two can be killed as well, the bounty will increase by half at that time." The group blocking Brother Zhuge Tianxin and the others completely ignored Wesde Kai's question, instead reminding their leader of the Pursuit Order's contents, and when mentioning Nangong Miss Mengli and Ye Ye Qingyu as Brother Zhuge Tianxin's women, Nangong Miss Mengli and Ye Ye Qingyu's pretty faces turned as red as ripe red apples.

"Damn it, the bounty for the two of us combined is only half of that little brat Brother Zhuge's; who is so ignorant as to set up such a reward, don't you agree, little brat Xun?" Wesde Kai, hearing that the combined bounty for himself and Brother Zhuge Xun was only half of Brother Zhuge Tianxin's, spoke with great dissatisfaction while trying to drag Brother Zhuge Xun onto his side.

"That is just your own Ji De Xiang Fa; for me to have one-quarter of Big Brother Tianxin's bounty is already quite good." Brother Zhuge Xun did not stand on the same boat as Wesde Kai, instead feeling quite content that having one-quarter of Brother Zhuge Tianxin's share was already excellent.

"Little brat Xun, why do you have so little ambition?" Seeing that Brother Zhuge Xun did not stand on the same frontline as he had expected, Wesde Kai spoke with some frustration, as if angry that iron had not been forged into steel.

"Hmph." Boom! A massive sound erupted within Wesde's sea of consciousness, as if struck by ten thousand forces; his sea of consciousness shattered like a mirror, and his body, as if rammed by a violent mad rhinoceros, spewed a mouthful of fresh blood before his entire figure flew backward at extreme speed.

"Not good, the opponent is a Rank Rank Yizhe; this is a mental attack, everyone be careful!" Seeing Wesde Kai blown away, Ye Ye Qingyu immediately realized the opponent was a Rank Rank Yizhe and shouted loudly; upon hearing Ye Ye Qingyu's words, Brother Zhuge Tianxin and the others immediately gripped their weapons, readying themselves for battle.

"Hahaha~~~~, now you know fear? A mere fourth-stage little mentalist dares to ignore my existence; even while being pursued by me, Lu Hong, you still discuss whose bounty is greater; since you wish to die so much, I will send you on your way." Seeing that Brother Zhuge Tianxin and the others finally struck the proper pose, he laughed loudly; earlier, when blocked by Lu Hong and his subordinates, Wesde Kai had ignored Lu Hong's existence to discuss with Brother Zhuge Xun whether Brother Zhuge Tianxin's bounty was higher than his own, which made Lu Hong extremely angry, so he directly launched a mental attack at Wesde Kai, who was still discussing obliviously, blowing him away.

"All of you go to die, Sky-Shattering Hammer!" Light flashed in Lu Hong's hand, and a long-handled bronze hammer the size of a millstone appeared in his grip; he then swung this bronze hammer, blasting it toward Brother Zhuge Tianxin and the others.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~~, as the bronze hammer in Lu Hong's hand slammed down, a bronze hammer identical to the one in Lu Hong's hand appeared in mid-air and also blasted down toward Brother Zhuge Tianxin and the others.

"Ye Qingyu, formation!" Seeing the huge bronze hammer in mid-air smashing down, Brother Zhuge Tianxin immediately shouted, then released the Tu Xi Mo Fa he had long prepared; a huge semi-circular earth wall rapidly formed, enveloping Brother Zhuge Tianxin and the five of them within, after which Ye Ye Qingyu immediately took out three formation scrolls from her spatial ring at once and activated one of them.

The light of the formation appeared within the semi-circular earth wall formed by Brother Zhuge Tianxin's Tu Xi Mo Fa, once again enveloping Brother Zhuge Tianxin and the five of them within.

Boom! A massive sound rang out; just as Ye Ye Qingyu's formation had formed, the huge bronze hammer in mid-air smashed onto the semi-circular earth wall created by Brother Zhuge Tianxin's Tu Xi Mo Fa, shattering the semi-circular earth wall, before continuing to smash onto Ye Ye Qingyu's formation.

Boom! Another massive sound rang out, but the formation did not shatter like the previous semi-circular earth wall; although the formation was struck with numerous cracks, it ultimately managed to block Lu Hong's attack.

The light of the formation flashed again; a defensive formation once more protected Brother Zhuge Tianxin and the others, and after the second formation, the light of a third formation flashed, protecting Brother Zhuge Tianxin and the others once again.

"Hmph, I did not expect that several mentalists would possess formations capable of withstanding my attacks; it seems I underestimated you. However, if you think this will allow you to escape disaster, then you are too naive." Lu Hong spoke with some surprise that his attack had been blocked by the joint efforts of Brother Zhuge Tianxin and Ye Ye Qingyu.

"Our formations cannot withstand Lu Hong's continuous attacks; hiding inside the formations is merely waiting for death; we must find a way to get out. Ye Qingyu, in a moment I will create an earth wall between the second and third layers of the formation; when Lu Hong attacks this earth wall, I will detonate it to create a massive amount of dust to disrupt Lu Hong's vision; you take this opportunity to lead Miss Mengli and the others away, and remember, no matter what happens, do not look back." Although they had blocked Lu Hong's Sky-Shattering Hammer, Brother Zhuge Tianxin knew that staying within the formations was merely waiting for death, so they had to escape to survive.

"Sky-Shattering Continuous Strike." Just as Brother Zhuge Tianxin was speaking, Lu Hong's attack fell once again.

This time, Lu Hong did not use his mental power to condense a huge bronze hammer for the attack as before, but directly attacked with the long-handled bronze hammer in his hand.

Boom! Lu Hong's long-handled bronze hammer traced an arc and heavily smashed onto the first layer of the formation, which was already covered in cracks; as if there were no obstruction at all, the formation instantly shattered, after which the bronze hammer heavily smashed onto the second layer of the formation.

Boom! This time, the second layer of the formation did not shatter; it blocked Lu Hong's attack and halted Lu Hong's bronze hammer.

Whoosh~~~, but Lu Hong's attack was not yet over; borrowing the force of the first strike, his body rotated to form a circle, and he swung the bronze hammer to smash down once again.

Boom! This time, the second layer of the formation failed to block Lu Hong's attack and was smashed into fragments, after which the bronze hammer continued to smash downward.

"Now!" Just as the bronze hammer fell toward the third layer of the formation, the third layer suddenly disappeared, and accompanying the disappearance of the third formation, an earth wall appeared on the path where the bronze hammer was falling.

Boom, Explode! Lu Hong's bronze hammer heavily smashed onto the earth wall, but just as Lu Hong's bronze hammer struck the earth wall, the earth wall suddenly exploded, flipping the hammer Lu Hong had smashed downward away, while simultaneously creating a massive amount of dust that instantly engulfed Brother Zhuge Tianxin and the others within.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, three sounds of breaking wind came from the dust; three figures rushed out from the dust at extreme speed, then without stopping, charged deep into the forest.

"Flame Falling Empty Slash." In another direction, Brother Zhuge Tianxin appeared in mid-air, his body covered in flames, and blasted down toward Lu Hong at extreme speed.

Boom! The Flame Falling Empty Slash heavily smashed onto the long handle of Lu Hong's bronze hammer.
