“Such clingy fellows.”
Li Changqing fled all the way, encountering many disciples along the way. He didn’t bother to dodge them, as these disciples posed no threat to him.
Before these disciples could react, Li Changqing was already hundreds of meters away.
He leaped onto a long staircase, at the top of which was a huge square.
Li Changqing didn’t even know where he had ended up.
His current target was Mu Haifeng.
He had to meet Xu Muhai first, and deal with the rest later.
Hong Xiuyang and the other pale-faced man were still chasing him. Their agility was impressive, they hadn’t been shaken off by Li Changqing, but they were having a hard time keeping up.
Just as Li Changqing was about to speed up and completely shake them off.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something.
A signal of danger came.
A master had arrived.
“At this late hour, my friend, why do you come to Dao Mountain Ancient Land wearing a mask? What do you seek?” A voice, elusive as mist, echoed from all directions.
It was almost impossible to determine the direction of the voice.
However, this was for others. Li Changqing’s Divine Soul was so strong that he immediately locked onto the direction of the newcomer. He looked in that direction and said, “I’m here to find someone, can you let…”
Li Changqing wanted to ask for Xu Muhai, but he felt that after causing such a commotion in Dao Mountain Ancient Land and fighting two Peak Masters, it might not be a good idea to bring Xu Muhai out now. It might cause trouble for Xu Muhai.
Moreover, if he revealed that he was here to find Xu Muhai, his identity would definitely be exposed, and the people of Dao Mountain Ancient Land would definitely investigate his identity.
By that time, if the news spread, Li Hengsheng would likely find out.
Li Hengsheng would know that his father came to Dao Mountain Ancient Land late at night and fought two Peak Masters.
There was no doubt that he would think Li Changqing was an imposter.
So Li Changqing decided to leave this place of trouble. As long as he found Xu Muhai, he didn’t care about the others.
“I haven’t harmed anyone. I’m really just here to find someone. I hope you can let me go. I would be very grateful.” Li Changqing said slowly.
“If it weren’t for the fact that you haven’t hurt anyone, I wouldn’t be standing here talking to you.”
“Please take off your mask and state your identity and purpose.” As the voice fell, a man walked over from a distance, looking like a scholar. He looked at Li Changqing with a calm expression, “I promise I won’t make things difficult for you.”
“You can rest assured, my words still carry weight in Dao Mountain Ancient Land.” The man said with a smile.
Li Changqing’s eyebrows furrowed behind his mask. Another troublesome ghost.
“I’m afraid I can’t comply.”
“I will leave Dao Mountain Ancient Land as soon as I finish my business here. I won’t cause any trouble.”
“I won’t kill anyone, I won’t take anything.”
Li Changqing’s voice also lowered, “Please let me pass.”
The man shook his head after hearing this.
“It seems that reasoning with you is useless. Is Dao Mountain Ancient Land a place where anyone can cause a ruckus? It seems that I will have to personally remove your mask to see who you really are.”
At this time, Hong Xiuyang and the other man also arrived, blocking Li Changqing’s retreat.
When they saw the man in front of Li Changqing, their eyes lit up.
“Pavilion Master Li, I didn’t expect you to be here too. That’s good, with you here, this guy can’t escape.” Hong Xiuyang said with a smile.
“But Pavilion Master Li, this man’s Divine Soul cultivation is not weak. Even the Roaring Lion of Peak Master Hong couldn’t intimidate him. Please be careful.” The pale-faced man also said.
“Divine Soul cultivation?”
Li Jinsong was interested.
If one’s Divine Soul cultivation was not weak, it meant that either the martial artist had specifically cultivated the Divine Soul in a special way, or this person could be a Painter.
“Pavilion Master Li? Is he Li Jinsong?” Li Changqing looked at the man. Li Hengsheng had mentioned in his letter that this man had been of great help to him.
“Ah.” Li Changqing felt a bit troubled for a moment. This man had been kind to his son, but now he insisted on revealing Li Changqing’s true identity.
Headache.
So Li Changqing turned around and left. His figure was like drifting snow, as if he was about to disappear into the night.
But how could Li Jinsong give Li Changqing the chance?
At this moment, Li Jinsong waved his arm, and a scroll flew out from his sleeve!
As the scroll opened, a surge of Spiritual Power turned into starlight, filling the sky.
“Painting Treasure?”
Li Changqing’s pupils shrank. This old guy was ruthless, using a Painting Treasure right off the bat.
“River Map on Silk!”
Upon seeing the content of the scroll, Hong Xiuyang and the pale-faced man were also taken aback. They quickly retreated hundreds of steps.
It seemed they knew how terrifying the power contained in this scroll was.
They didn’t expect Li Jinsong to use such a terrifying Painting Treasure.
Before Li Changqing could understand what was happening, he found that the whole world seemed to have changed. The stone slab under his feet was actually rippling!
In an instant, the surrounding void was distorting. Above the sky, dark clouds pressed down, and violent rain fell.
Li Changqing didn’t have time to think about it. He wanted to use the Snow Feather Zen Wind Technique to escape, but to his horror, he found that the ground under his feet was soft.He looked down and saw the stone slab under his feet rippling like waves, giving the impression that the entire ground had turned into a river.
Li Changqing could even feel that the ground beneath his feet could swallow him up at any moment, engulfing him completely.
“What a terrifying Painting Treasure, it actually possesses the power to change the heavens and the earth.” Li Changqing felt his scalp tingle, but he still stepped forward, stepping on a stone pillar not far away, and then leaped into the air.
However, Li Jinsong didn’t care. He was certain that Li Changqing would fall, and as long as he fell within the range of his Silk River Painting, he would eventually be swallowed by his Painting Treasure.
Li Changqing leaped dozens of meters high, his figure graceful like a banished immortal. He extended his finger!
It was as if an immortal was pointing the way.
A leaf flew directly from an ancient tree not far away. Li Changqing stepped on the green leaf, landed on the Silk River Painting, and the leaf fluttered above the river. Li Changqing walked on the waves, heading straight for the distance.
At the same time, he raised his other hand and gave Li Jinsong the middle finger.
Old man, you’re too shady!
“What?!”
Hong Xiuyang and the others couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
“Walk on leaves?”
Li Jinsong was also shocked by Li Changqing’s move.
This man’s Divine Soul cultivation could actually achieve this.
He might have already reached the level of a Painting Sage.
Who is he?
“Who are you, a powerful being at the level of a Painting Sage, acting so despicably, what is your purpose in coming to my Dao Mountain Ancient Land!” Li Jinsong was furious. A powerful being at the level of a Painting Sage was acting so lowly.
What is his intention?
Even now, he hasn’t fought with him. Is he looking down on him?
What does giving him the middle finger mean?
Li Changqing’s identity seemed to have angered Li Jinsong.
Li Jinsong raised his palm, and the Silk River Painting suddenly surged!
In the pouring rain, countless raindrops seemed like arrows, each drop containing the power to pierce through stone. The pouring rain and thousands of arrows were aimed directly at Li Changqing.
Knowing that the other party might be a Painting Sage, Li Jinsong didn’t hold back. Otherwise, he knew he wouldn’t be able to keep this mysterious person.
“What a nuisance.”
Li Changqing looked at the sky, the raindrops were like bullets, each one packed with lethal force.
“Indestructible!”
With a shout of “Indestructible”, Li Changqing was enveloped in a brilliant golden light, as if forming a huge armor. The raindrops shattered upon hitting him, unable to shake him at all.
“Stealing the Five Absolute Seals of my Dao Mountain Ancient Land, not even daring to use your own Martial Arts, today I must see who you are!” Li Jinsong leaped up, also walking on the waves.
The Silk River Painting stretched across the sky, Li Changqing walked on leaves under the starry sky, while Li Jinsong pursued relentlessly, the two crossing several mountain ranges.
This scene finally attracted the attention of many powerful beings in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.
The noise of their battle was too loud.
“It’s Pavilion Master Li!”
“Isn’t that Pavilion Master Li’s Silk River Painting? What’s going on, who is that masked man? He can actually make Pavilion Master Li use such a Painting Treasure to fight.”
Many powerful beings didn’t act rashly, they decided to watch the changes. Moreover, they didn’t believe that Li Changqing could escape from Li Jinsong.
At this point, Hong Xiuyang and the others couldn’t intervene. Li Jinsong was much stronger than them. If even Li Jinsong couldn’t handle it, they would be useless.
Moreover, in their view, although Li Changqing was fleeing, he had never been able to escape the range of the Silk River Painting. It was only a matter of time before he was caught, and Li Jinsong hadn’t even used his real skills yet.
There was a complete chance to capture him.
“Million River Soldiers!”
Li Jinsong shouted.
His Divine Soul spread out, and he seemed to have transformed into an invincible general. Even on this river, there was a sound of a charging horn.
At the same time, countless water droplets flew up from the Silk River Painting, actually forming into water soldiers!
They had no faces, but they were wearing armor and holding long knives, densely packed, rushing towards Li Changqing.
“What is this thing.” Li Changqing felt his scalp tingle. Was this old man Li Jinsong so strong?
“Bang!”
A water soldier’s knife struck Li Changqing’s shield. Although it didn’t break through Li Changqing’s shield, the heavy force was not weak at all!
This thing was much more powerful than the water droplets. It seemed that each water soldier possessed the power of the Postnatal Realm.
Bang, bang, bang!
Dozens of water soldiers attacked, striking Li Changqing’s shield.
Li Changqing felt that the green leaf under his feet might not be able to withstand the heavy blows of so many water soldiers. It could shatter at any moment, and once he sank into this river, it would be troublesome to struggle out.
“I was being considerate for my son’s sake, but you old man, you’re really pushing it!”
Even a clay figure has a temper.
Especially now, Li Changqing was worried about Li Hengsheng. If he continued to drag things out here, it would be even more troublesome if more powerful beings from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land were attracted.
Such a sect, with thousands of years of heritage, might be hiding some freakish old monsters, and he was not their match.
“Get lost!”
Li Changqing turned his head and roared angrily.
The sound rolled out, carrying the aura of a wild beast.
The sound wave stirred up thousands of waves, directly sweeping away the water soldiers clinging to his shield.Moreover, a gigantic lion’s head appeared behind Li Changqing, its mane fluttering as if it were the king of all beasts.
The sonic wave shattered even the giant waves, as if a storm of destruction had descended, suppressing the numerous cries of battle. Countless sailors were swept away by the sonic wave, instantly turned to ashes by Li Changqing’s roar.
The sound thundered, shaking the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.
Even Li Jinsong was pushed back several steps, his head buzzing, his Divine Soul shaken, causing him to experience a brief moment of dizziness.
“It’s the Roar of the Thunderous Lion!”
Li Jinsong’s face was particularly ugly at this moment, another martial art from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.
A painter with a powerful Divine Soul could learn other people’s moves, but generally speaking, when first learned, they only have the form, not the spirit.
But Li Changqing’s roar just now had perfected the Roar of the Thunderous Lion to an extreme!
Even Hong Xiuyang was stunned at this moment!
The move Li Changqing used was even more authentic than his own.
“This man is too terrifying!” Li Jinsong’s face was particularly solemn. This man’s strength was too strong. In his view, with the sect leader in the world and Xue Qianbai not in the sect, the only ones who could contend with Li Changqing at this moment were a few individuals from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, but they would not easily make a move.
If Xue Qianbai were here, he would definitely be able to subdue this man. Unfortunately, Xue Qianbai was nowhere to be found.
And he didn’t believe for a second that a man of such cultivation would come to the Dao Mountain Ancient Land without any purpose.
“Water Gate God.”
At this moment, Li Jinsong clasped his hands together, and the power of his Divine Soul illuminated the heavens and the earth. The strength of the Divine Soul that Li Jinsong released at this moment directly shook the river, and this Painting Treasure seemed to be exerting its power to the extreme.
After Li Changqing had just used the Roar of the Thunderous Lion, he also felt his chest trembling.
It seemed that he should use this less in the future.
After using it, Li Changqing couldn’t help but want to cough.
If Hong Xiuyang knew, he would probably be shocked. To use this martial art, one needed a strong physical strength.
The level at which Li Changqing used it, if it were Hong Xiuyang, he would probably be shocked to the point of vomiting blood.
But Li Changqing just wanted to cough.
However, at this time, Li Changqing saw a huge vortex appearing on the river, as if it could swallow everything.
Then, a huge arm stretched out from the vortex.
And then a giant slowly climbed out!
The giant was tens of meters tall, with two flags on his back and a giant axe in his right hand. His eyes looked down, despising all beings.
“What is that…”
Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.
Even the strong ones from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land had never seen this scene.
Li Jinsong was really strong, the Water Gate God gave them an extremely strong feeling, so strong that it made them suffocate.
It seemed that he could tear them apart with a casual move.
Releasing this thing, Li Jinsong’s face was also as pale as paper, obviously his Divine Soul was somewhat overused.
But in Li Jinsong’s view, his Water Gate God could completely delay this mysterious Painting Sage.
Because his Painting Treasure was also a work of a Painting Sage, and moreover, this painting was left by his master, the Painting Sage of the Universe.
Its power was extraordinary.
Facing such a huge creature, Li Changqing seemed so small.
He was somewhat disheveled in the wind.
Summoning such a giant.
Was this considered cheating?
