680 A battle of wits and courage
How could someone find him?
This was the question that popped up in Xia Pingan’s mind as he rapidly burrowed underground.
The person chasing him was more than fifty miles behind him, and his target was very clear. The person was also using a Pure Earth escape technique, and his mastery of earth escape technique was even a bit stronger than his own. From the Qi, the person was very likely an expert of the nine suns realm.
An ordinary Summoner in the seven sun realm would not be stronger than him even if they used the earth escape technique. They might even be weaker than him. This was because he still had the refined body of God’s phalanx in his body. His earth escape technique was already stronger than an ordinary Summoner.
For Summoners who mastered the earth-moving skill, they would be very sensitive to the movements underground. It was like how whales stayed in the ocean. Whales could contact and locate their partners through sound waves in the ocean. Similarly, Summoners who mastered the earth-moving skill would be very sensitive to the fluctuations underground within 60 miles. They could clearly sense the situations of other people who used the earth-moving skill underground.
This was the reason why Xia Pingan knew that someone was chasing after him.
It should be the HU clan!
However, it was impossible for Hu clan to locate him through divination. If his whereabouts could be divined so easily, he would have long been crushed into ashes by the bloody demon church and zu Motian. There must be some other reason.
Xia ping ‘an thought quickly in his mind. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.
The things that he had obtained from the old man of the HU family, the “record of mysterious,” that thing should belong to the HU family, and there was a deep karma between them. If the HU family divined the location of the “record of mysterious,” they might be able to find his Kasaya indirectly.
Seeing that the fluctuation of the earth-burrowing skill was getting closer and closer, Xia Pingan sensed the surrounding underground environment and suddenly rushed underground. After rushing thousands of meters underground, an underground river with surging waves that were hundreds of meters wide appeared in front of Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan’s entire body suddenly emerged from the gap above the underground river. Without thinking, she threw everything she had obtained from the old man of the HU family, including the ” mysterious records, ” into the underground river.
After rolling in the waves of the underground river, the Golden Book of Mysteries disappeared in an instant.
After throwing out The Book of Mysteries, Xia Pingan’s figure continued to drill into the rocks and earth, rushing toward the ground.
......
A few minutes later, Xia ping ‘an’s figure flew out of a mountain ridge that was filled with dense forests. After quickly picking a leaf, Xia ping’ an cast a leaf eye cover secret technique to hide all of his aura. He then attached himself to a big tree in the mountain ridge and released the illusion of beacon fire toying with feudal vassals at the same time. He also summoned a red-crowned crane, which carried his illusionary figure and quickly flew into the distance. In the blink of an eye, it penetrated into the clouds.
......
Less than three minutes after Xia ping ‘an had concealed herself, a figure emerged from the ground nearby and flew into the air.
The man who came out of the ground was an old man in a black robe. His eyebrows were as thick as knives, and he had a murderous look on his face. There was a strand of white hair in the middle of his forehead, which was very eye-catching.
As soon as the old man flew into the air, he looked around with his glittering eyes. With a wave of his hand, butterflies were summoned all over the sky like a colorful cloud. There were at least 10000 butterflies, flying all over the sky and mountains.
A few butterflies flew to the place where Xia Pingan had hidden himself with a leaf. Xia Pingan became nervous all of a sudden and was ready to go underground again. Fortunately, the butterflies did not notice Xia Pingan and flew past him.
More and more butterflies gathered in the sky, dancing gracefully, and flying in the direction of the crane that Xia Pingan had just summoned.
junior, you’ve got some skills. Let’s see where you can run to! the old man in the sky roared angrily. With a wave of his sleeve, all the butterflies were recalled back into his sleeve. Then, he turned into a stream of fire light and flashed in the air, directly flying towards the place where the immortal crane that Xia Pingan had summoned had disappeared.
Seeing the old man disappear, Xia Pingan quietly left the blinding leaf state. He silently slid down from the tree and slowly burrowed into the ground. He didn’t run far, only a hundred meters underground. Then, he continued to use the blinding leaf spell to hide himself.
A few minutes later, the sky in the distance was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Lightning flashed one after another, looking earth-shattering. The rumbling of the God of Thunder came from afar. Even Xia Pingan, who was underground, could feel the tremors coming from the sky.
However, the Thunder and quakes in the skyline disappeared in a split second. After a short while, the old man with dense eyebrows flew back from the distance and stood in the sky above this mountain range with a dark face. Watching the mountain range below, he was driven mad as he waved his hand, causing meteorites to fall down one after another.
All the trees and grass within a radius of several miles were blown into pieces. The flames were raging, and it looked like a Flaming Mountain.
The old man was not satisfied. He kept summoning fiery rain meteorites to bombard the surrounding mountains and hills. In just a few minutes, over 100 square kilometers of ground had been plowed. While bombarding the ground, the old man kept drilling into the ground using the earth escape technique to check the movements underground and see if anyone had escaped using the earth escape technique.
However, there was only silence in the rock and soil underground, and there were no fluctuations of the earth escape technique.
Xia ping ‘an was underground. He could feel the movement above him, but fortunately, the movement above and the destructive power of the spell did not affect him, who was hiding at this depth. He waited patiently.
If he was still hiding on the tree, he would most likely be exposed by the blanket of spell attacks. If he had been busy escaping underground, he would have been locked on by the old man again in such a short time. However, he was now hiding underground with the spell of a leaf to hide his aura. The old man couldn’t find him.
All of the old man’s methods were within Xia ping ‘an’s expectations.
After that, the old man flew off the sky and entered the ground using the earth-breaking skill once again. After over 10 minutes, the old man finally uttered an unwilling, furious and disappointed roar in the sky.
A large group of people had already flown over from the distance. There were about a few hundred of them. There were about seventy to eighty six-sun realm experts, more than ten seven-sun realm experts, and even a few eight-sun realm experts. All of them were wearing dark red armors and were filled with killing intent.
“Elder Gu, have you found any traces of that person?” Hu Sheng, who was also in battle armor, asked the moment he arrived.
that person is very cunning. He has already escaped, ” the old man said.
he escaped? ” Hu Sheng looked disappointed and a little shocked. He didn’t expect that ” Mei Zheng ” would be able to escape at a time like this. Mei Zheng ” was being chased by experts of the nine suns realm, who were below the demigod realm of the HU clan.
that man is too cunning and has extraordinary strength. He has an extremely high attainment in magic. He has already thrown all the items, such as The Book of Mysteries, into the underground river. My divination art can no longer track his whereabouts. The illusion magic he just used is one level higher than that of ordinary Summoners. Even I was almost fooled, ” elder Gu, who was chasing Xia Pingan, said as he looked around. Looking at the vast mountains around him, he was full of defeat.
If they could capture ” Mei Zheng ” this time, not to mention whether ” Mei Zheng ” would survive in the end, the HU clan could actually squeeze out the secret method of the Mad God’s lineage combining Dharma and martial arts from him as compensation for ” Mei Zheng ” plundering the HU clan’s ” records of mysteries.
The HU clan had been drooling over crazy God’s divine path for a long time, and it was rare to have such an opportunity.
Unfortunately, ” Mei Zheng ” had just escaped and lost the ” mysterious Records ” on him. It would not be so easy to catch that person’s whereabouts again.
The HU family discussed for a while in the sky and finally decided to split into two groups. One group would go to Xuanji city, and the other group would continue to search in the wild. Then, the HU family members dispersed.
Xia ping ‘an was still underground, motionless, as if he was in hibernation. Although the HU family seemed to have left, he was still on alert.
He felt that this matter wasn’t over yet. If he were to jump out or escape using the earth escape technique, he might fall into the trap.
As expected, seven days later, a few figures appeared in the sky again.
Elder Gu’s gloomy face reappeared in the sky above this mountain range. He waved his hand once again, sending another fire rain and meteorites, which plowed the surrounding land.
Just like the last time, elder Gu used spells to plow the ground while burrowing into the ground to check the situation.
There was no movement on the ground or underground.
Watching the devastated ground, elder Gu finally let out a sigh in the sky after venting his frustration. He felt the same sense of defeat again. Previously, elder Gu doubted that person had not left; however, now, he started to doubt it.
elder, I think that person has already left this place. We’ve been setting up an inescapable net in the vicinity these days, but we haven’t found any trace of that person, ” an eight sun realm expert of the HU family said.
These days, these experts of the HU clan had actually been lying in ambush nearby. They had not missed a single spot in the sky or on the ground. They had spread a large net and were waiting for someone to jump out or escape underground again.
However, for the past few days, there had been no movement within a radius of several hundred miles. Other than a six sun realm Summoner who passed by, the HU clan had not found anything.
that person should have left, right? ” elder Gu finally shook his head and waved his hand, leaving with his men.
...
After another day, when the warning in his heart had completely disappeared, Xia Pingan finally emerged from the ground.
Xia Pingan looked in the direction of Xuanji city. After thinking for a while, he directly used the secret transformation technique to change his appearance. Then, he swaggered toward Xuanji city and flew toward Xuanji city.
