But even the best of the Innate realm couldn’t surpass the speed of sound with just the speed of their bodies.

Yet Su Changkong’s arrows could easily break through several times the speed of sound. In just a few seconds, that heavy arrow carried Su Changkong for a distance of three to four miles before its kinetic energy was exhausted, and it fell from the sky due to inertia.

Su Changkong immediately pushed the Crane Play footwork to the limit, with the illusion of a white crane spreading its wings, carrying him lightly and safely to land.

Then, without hesitation, although one of his arms was broken and unable to bend the bow and shoot arrows, the white crane illusion twisted and transformed into the Giant Ape Illusion.

The Giant Ape Illusion drew the bow and shot again, the heavy arrow twined with Heaven Silkworm Silk, carrying Su Changkong aloft once more, shooting into the sky and turning into a rainbow light, crossing several miles in just a few seconds!

Thus, he rose and fell, arrow after arrow, Su Changkong did not pause for a moment, fleeing into the distance.

“Is that… What is that? A shooting star?”

During this night, travelers resting at the border of the two countries also saw the fleeting rainbow light in the sky, all somewhat stunned. They only saw a streak of rainbow light flashing across the sky, like a shooting star!

Even though Tan You pushed his footwork to the extreme, so fast that it produced a sonic boom, he could only watch helplessly as that streak of rainbow light rose and fell, quickly disappearing from sight.

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”

As the distance between them grew wider, Tan You could no longer sense Su Changkong’s presence, which made him stop the futile chase, his face twisted with a ferocious rage, roaring repeatedly.

He had personally made a move, yet that youngster had escaped from under his hands? This was something Tan You found hard to accept!

“If Elder Tan hadn’t been careless and put away his playful heart… Dao Wufeng would never have had the chance to escape!”

The man in black robes thought to himself, but of course, he dared not voice it, fearing Tan You’s anger.

At the same time, the man in black robes felt helpless. Who would have thought that Su Changkong had such a trick up his sleeve? In his view, with Tan You personally blocking Su Changkong, he was as good as caught. Yet, Su Changkong truly took to the sky and flew away!

After venting his rage for a good while, Tan You finally calmed down again. His stern face was shrouded with a layer of frost, and he spoke in a deep voice, “This Dao Wufeng is extremely talented, possessing such strength at a young age. Even I have let him slip through my fingers. If we let him go so easily… he will become a disaster.

He’s likely heading to the Wuji Empire, where we from the Life Extinguishing Association also have our people… Let’s go!”

Tan You, without uttering another word, headed in the direction of the Wuji Empire. The man in black robes could only follow behind, sighing inwardly, knowing Tan You’s obstinacy. Once he accepted the task of killing Dao Wufeng, he would not give up until it was accomplished.

Otherwise, he would face criticism within the Elder Council, and if the Master of the Association or the Vice Master underestimated him, that was even less desirable!

Although the man in black robes didn’t know what purpose Dao Wufeng had in going to the Wuji Empire, the Life Extinguishing Association had a branch there as well. Once they reached the Wuji Empire and found out Dao Wufeng’s whereabouts, they must take action to eliminate him, giving him no chance to escape again!

On Su Changkong’s side, after shooting over a hundred and fifty arrows in succession and flying out six to seven hundred miles in a short time with little Essence Qi left, Su Changkong finally put away the Star Patterned Bow.

“Let’s go!”

Even though he had left Tan You far behind, Su Changkong still did not stay, unleashing his footwork in a different direction, flying at extreme speed.

Only after flying out over a thousand miles did Su Changkong finally slow down, letting out a sigh of relief, “He should not be able to catch up now…”

But as his spirit relaxed, Su Changkong felt waves of intense tearing pain from his left arm.

In the recent battle with Tan You, Su Changkong had been completely suppressed. In a head-on clash of fists and palms, his left arm was thoroughly crushed, his muscles torn, and his blood dyed his arm red.

Tan You’s fearsomeness indeed surpassed the current Su Changkong’s abilities. Without much seriousness, he had defeated Su Changkong. Fortunately, after their battle, Tan You let down his guard, thinking that was Su Changkong’s limit, allowing Su Changkong to take advantage of his carelessness to use his life-saving trick and successfully escape.

If he had used this move from the start, when Tan You was unaware of Su Changkong’s depths, it would have been with utmost concentration and might not have worked!

“This time I was able to escape, but I’ve used my trump card. If I encounter him again, Tan You will certainly not be careless enough to let me escape!” And Su Changkong was well aware. The same tactic could only be used once; in their next encounter, Tan You would definitely not give Su Changkong any opportunity to catch his breath.

“I must… shatter his corpse into ten thousand pieces!”

Su Changkong seethed with hatred, his heart rising with a strong intent to kill Tan You. Today, he had suffered greatly and would surely have died had he not kept back that final move. He vowed in his heart that in the future, he would make Tan You pay a heavy price!

Even if he was the so-called Elder of the Life Extinguishing Association, Su Changkong would beat him to death!

Su Changkong circulated the Heaven Silkworm True Qi, condensing it into silk, stitching together the shattered bones of his left hand, and sewing up the torn muscles. He continued to repair the injuries. Such wounds would mostly heal within a day or two for him.

“I wonder how Duanmu He is doing… I’ll head to the Wuji Empire first, to visit the Li Family on Book Fragrance Mountain…”

Su Changkong was uncertain of Duanmu He’s situation, but he had done his moral duty by telling Duanmu He to escape first. Even if Duanmu He had met with misfortune, it would not be his fault!
