Chapter 1606

Inside the flying vessel were two men; one was tall and burly, with a commanding presence.

The other man had a face as radiant as polished jade, handsome and elegant.

He was called Gongsun Hengyu; this fellow was Gongsun Henghe's cousin.

"Cousin, we're late…" Gongsun Hengyu sighed.

"No problem! No problem! This isn't your fault! Let's hurry and find that brat—he's surely left Da Huang City already!"

Gongsun Henghe said in a deep voice.

Gongsun Hengyu nodded, then landed with Gongsun Henghe from the flying vessel and chased after the direction Ximen Wudi had fled.

"Huh? Why is this fellow fleeing northwest?"

Gongsun Henghe noticed Ximen Wudi's escape route and furrowed his brow slightly.

Gongsun Hengyu said, "Cousin, that brat probably learned some secret and is trying to run! Let's follow him quickly!"

"Hmm!"

Gongsun Henghe nodded and swiftly chased after Ximen Wudi with Gongsun Hengyu.

Gongsun Hengyu's speed was also quite terrifying.

Although slightly slower than Gongsun Henghe, it was still utterly terrifying.

Gongsun Henghe's cultivation was extremely powerful; though old, his combat strength was even stronger than in his youth.

…

Although Ximen Wudi's speed was extremely fast, Gongsun Henghe and Gongsun Hengyu's speed was not slow.

The distance between them grew ever closer.

Ximen Wudi's expression turned unpredictable.

This time, things were truly troublesome.

Since arriving in Da Huang Region, he'd never had a peaceful day.

One enemy after another left Ximen Wudi feeling suffocated.

Fortunately, at this moment he met a friend; Ximen Wudi planned to ask this friend to help eliminate Gongsun Henghe and Gongsun Hengyu.

But this friend seemed unwilling to get involved in this turmoil.

Because he, too, was a lone cultivator.

Ximen Wudi guessed his cultivation resources were all purchased with savings; he hoped to use every bit of his accumulated efforts to make his strength surge forward.

So.

This cultivator had no intention of meddling in others' grudges.

Such a situation was understandable; after all, no one wanted to invite trouble.

Ximen Wudi didn't press him.

Ximen Wudi changed direction and continued heading toward the Da Huang Ancient Kingdom.

Gongsun Hengyu and Gongsun Henghe pursued relentlessly, but their speed was still far behind Ximen Wudi's; thus, escaping him was virtually impossible.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed; during this time, Ximen Wudi raced nonstop across millions of miles of territory, yet never shook off Gongsun Henghe and Gongsun Hengyu behind him.

Ximen Wudi frowned.

He suspected Gongsun Henghe had already received word; otherwise, he wouldn't pursue him so relentlessly.

It wasn't easy for Ximen Wudi to shake off Gongsun Henghe and Gongsun Hengyu now.

These two were too persistent—if he could shake off Gongsun Henghe and Gongsun Hengyu,

Ximen Wudi would have done so long ago.

"Little brat, you can't escape! I advise you to surrender quietly; perhaps you'll suffer less. Otherwise, don't blame me for crushing you!"

Suddenly, Gongsun Henghe's cold voice echoed into Ximen Wudi's ears.

"Old bastard, since you insist on dying, don't blame me for crushing you…"

Ximen Wudi said coldly.

He stopped, turning to face Gongsun Henghe and Gongsun Hengyu behind him.

"Brat, have you been frightened into stupidity? Kneel and beg for mercy now, and I might spare your life!"

Gongsun Henghe roared, his face twisted with fury.

"Hahahaha… Gongsun Henghe, if I were you, I wouldn't talk so big!"

Ximen Wudi sneered at Gongsun Henghe.

Gongsun Henghe instantly flew into a rage, gritting his teeth: "Brat, are you challenging me? Then today, I'll send you straight to hell!"

A thunderous roar surged from the void, and a colossal sword burst forth, hurtling toward Ximen Wudi.

That colossal sword was terrifyingly powerful, its might bordering on divine.

Gongsun Henghe had summoned his treasure; his attack was truly earth-shattering.

Facing Gongsun Henghe's assault, Ximen Wudi raised his hand and slapped the void.

A sharp crackling sound rang out—the colossal sword shattered instantly.

"Impossible." Gongsun Henghe's face turned pale.

"Gongsun Henghe, today I'll kill you myself!" Ximen Wudi stepped forward, staring coldly at Gongsun Henghe.

"You lowly worm dares to look down on me? I'll tear you apart and make you suffer before you die!"

Gongsun Henghe roared in fury and summoned his treasure—a steel rod.

"Dong dong dong dong…"

Accompanied by a violent crash, Gongsun Henghe swung his iron rod and smashed it viciously toward Ximen Wudi.

Gongsun Henghe's iron rod treasure was indeed extremely powerful, but Ximen Wudi's Chaotic Ancient Lamp was equally terrifying beyond measure.

The Chaotic Ancient Lamp transformed into a nine-layered light shield, directly enveloping Ximen Wudi's entire body.

When Gongsun Henghe's iron rod came smashing down.

The Chaotic Ancient Lamp shook out a vast and mighty force, completely blocking all of Gongsun Henghe's attacks.

"How could you possibly possess such a powerful defensive treasure?"

Gongsun Henghe's expression suddenly changed.

He knew best just how powerful his attack had been moments ago — that terrifying strike, even he himself could not have withstood it.

But.

Now it had been blocked by the Chaotic Ancient Lamp.

What did this prove?

Ximen Wudi's treasure was even more terrifying than his attack.

Ximen Wudi said coolly, "How could your treasure possibly be mentioned in the same breath as mine?"

"Hmph! Just a stroke of luck, that's all!"

Gongsun Henghe snorted coldly, a sinister glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

Then he continued to unleash various powerful divine abilities, madly attacking Ximen Wudi.

However.

They were still all blocked by Ximen Wudi's Chaotic Ancient Lamp.

"Gongsun Henghe, is this all you've got? Truly disappointing — today I'll use you to sacrifice the flag!"

Ximen Wudi said with a cold smile.

"Brat, don't spout nonsense. How old are you? Being able to block this old man's attack has already greatly surprised me. If you continue to contend with me, you will surely be defeated!"

Gongsun Henghe cast a sinister gaze toward Ximen Wudi.

"Who wins and who dies is still unknown — I'll cut you down first before we talk…." A sinister expression curled at the corner of Ximen Wudi's mouth.

He manipulated the Chaotic Ancient Lamp and charged toward Gongsun Henghe.

Gongsun Henghe's countenance grew solemn as he gripped his iron rod to meet the attack.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
