SWNOVELXO Chapter 1425: Mad Dogs Don’t Bark
In Canglong Ridge, dozens of figures were moving quickly through the dense forest. Leading the group were Luo Lishang and Luo Qingwu. Behind them followed a group of men in black. They were the Luo family's secret guards mobilized by Luo Qingwu.
Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Ang, each being supported by two Luo family secret guards, were struggling to escape towards the core area of Canglong Ridge.
Luo Qingwu looked worriedly at the people behind her who were getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but frown.
"Mr. Zhou, what should we do now?"
Zhou Yiqiao closed his eyes slightly and felt for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes.
"Go southwest, quickly!"
"Southwest?"
Luo Qingwu was a little surprised. Before she could ask why, Luo Lishang spoke up to help Zhou Yiqiao answer.
"There is a large group of demon beasts in the southwest, and they are currently in a violent state. We can use those demon beasts to temporarily escape from the group of people behind us."
"But if that's the case, we are the first to face the monster's attack!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingwu suddenly became anxious, and an anxious look appeared on her face.
At the critical moment, Zhou Yiqiao did not bother to hide his abilities. He took out a dozen Yin-Yang Rotating Pills from his storage bag and handed them to everyone.
Luo Lishang and Luo Ang had seen this magical pill before, and their eyes lit up instantly. Then they heard Zhou Yiqiao explaining it to Luo Qingwu and others.
"This is the Yin-Yang Rotating Pill, which can release a poisonous miasma that monsters hate. Although it is not enough to make them completely avoid our path, it can at least prevent us from becoming the first target of those monsters."
Seeing that Luo Qingwu was hesitant and still had doubts about the effectiveness of the Yin-Yang Rotating Pill, Luo Lishang quickly agreed.
"Don't worry, this thing is real. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I used this pill to escape a beast attack in the valley."
After hearing Luo Lishang's assurance, Luo Qingwu was reluctantly convinced.
"go!"
She gave an order to the Luo family's secret guards, and they all turned around and rushed towards the southwest.
As Luo Lishang and Luo Qingwu led everyone to change direction, their speed obviously increased a lot.
After about ten breaths, a deafening roar suddenly came from the mountains and forests ahead, accompanied by the shaking of the earth, and a violent breath of a monster rushed towards them, making people's hearts palpitate.
Mountains collapsed, the ground cracked, trees fell, and dozens of demon beasts in the realm of refining emptiness came running from afar. Some of them were as huge as elephants, some were covered in armor, and some had their wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun.
"Trust me, just go straight ahead!"
Zhou Yiqiao felt the approaching pursuers through his spiritual sense and roared loudly with all his might.
Luo Qingwu gritted her teeth, waved her hand, and signaled everyone to move on.
She knew that stopping or turning back at this moment would lead to death.
Everyone held the Yin Yang Rotating Pill tightly in their hands, their hearts beating like drums, and the strength that unconsciously surged out of their hands almost crushed the Yin Yang Rotating Pill.
The violent monsters ran at full speed without slowing down at all and collided directly with them.
A magical scene happened!
These monsters seemed not to have noticed Zhou Yiqiao and the others. They passed by them one after another and rushed directly towards the pursuers behind them.
"Success!"
Luo Qingwu and Luo Lishang both breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not time to relax yet, let's go!"
Zhou Yiqiao reminded in a deep voice, without any relaxation in his eyes.
As the refiner of Yin Yang Rotating Pill, he knew clearly that the confusing state of poisonous miasma would not last long.
If they fail to get rid of the pursuers in time, once those monsters have vented their anger, their end will definitely be even more tragic than before!
Zhou Yiqiao's warning was like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's hearts, making their nerves, which had just relaxed, tense up again.
Luo Lishang and Luo Qingwu glanced at the tragic scene behind them at the same time, with a hint of determination in their eyes.
"Everyone speed up, we can't stay here!"
There was a hint of urgency in Luo Lishang's voice.
Luo Qingwu nodded. She even personally stayed behind to command the Luo family's secret guards to ensure that everyone could keep up with the team and that no accidents would occur.
Zhou Yiqiao's eyes were always alert to his surroundings, and his Dusk Sword was unsheathed, ready to deal with any threat that might arise.
In his opinion, compared to Luo Shanhu, Luo Ziyan is a vicious dog that can't bark. Since she has opened her mouth, she must be fully prepared and must have other means.
Sure enough, just as they were moving forward quickly, a powerful aura suddenly came from the front, and then a figure blocked their way.
This is a middle-aged man with a face full of stubble and half of his eye wrapped in cloth. He looks extremely sloppy, but his strength is extremely terrifying!
His body was eight feet tall, with a sturdy build and muscular body, as hard as steel.
He raised his palm, which was as big as a palm leaf fan, and slapped it down hard. The wind from his palm directly shattered all obstacles between him and Zhou Yiqiao and his group. A fierce hurricane instantly blew away the mist in the entire forest.
Before his palm fell, Zhou Yiqiao and others felt tremendous pressure.
"Damn it!"
When he saw the person coming, even Luo Lishang, who was usually emotionally stable, couldn't help but swear.
Amid Zhou Yiqiao's puzzled look, Luo Qingwu explained on his behalf.
"This man's name is Huang Bolie. He is one of Luo Ziyan's most loyal lackeys and is good at earth magic."
"It is said that when he was in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he was able to lift up a stone peak that was a hundred feet high with his pure physical strength. His strength was terrifying, and therefore, he was also called 'Barbaric Bull' by many people!"
When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh that Luo Ziyan was much stronger than Luo Shanhu.
The defensive ability of earth-attributed spells is notoriously difficult to deal with, and this "barbarian" Huang Bolie is also incredibly powerful, and it is obvious that his purpose is to slow them down.
Although Luo Ziyan's family power and personal resources are far inferior to Luo Shanhu's, her ability to anticipate the enemy's dangers and to know how to use people well makes her much stronger than Luo Shanhu.
"It seems that our main opponent in the future is not the spoiled Luo Shanhu, but the third princess Luo Ziyan who has always been living behind everyone."
Zhou Yiqiao sighed in his heart and at the same time thought of a countermeasure.
"Now, I will cover your retreat."
His voice was cold, leaving no room for comment.
"You're already in this state, and you're still trying to show off!?"
Luo Qingwu became excited first when she saw Zhou Yiqiao, who still needed the support of two Luo family secret guards.
"I know what's going on. Take them away."
The situation was urgent, and Zhou Yiqiao was in no mood to explain to Luo Qingwu. He looked at Luo Lishang solemnly and gave instructions in a deep voice.
Luo Lishang and Zhou Yiqiao have known each other for many years, and her trust in Zhou Yiqiao is indeed much higher than that of Luo Qingwu.
Different from Luo Qingwu's worries, Luo Lishang has more trust in Zhou Yiqiao.
She and Luo Qingwu were only surprised for a moment, then they followed Zhou Yiqiao's arrangements and made the final decision.
"Okay, let's go."
"Mr. Zhou has his own plans. Let's take the prince away first, and he will follow naturally."
Although Luo Qingwu still had doubts in her heart, to her, Luo Lishang's value was much higher than Zhou Yiqiao, so she had to nod in agreement.
She nodded to Zhou Yiqiao, then quickly led the Luo family's secret guards and Crown Prince Luo Ang, bypassed Huang Bolie, and continued to retreat to the west.
Zhou Yiqiao looked at their backs as they left, took a deep breath, then slowly turned around to face Huang Bolie.
"Huang Bolie, with your strength, it is really not worth it to work for a princess in the early stage of refining emptiness."
"You know that the area outside Canglong Ridge has been completely controlled by the Immortal Emperor. Even if you can completely eliminate the prince and his entourage, you cannot force the Immortal Emperor to choose the next successor to Daxuantian from Luo Ziyan and Luo Shanhu."
Huang Bolie grinned, revealing a row of yellow teeth, and his voice exploded in the mountains and forests like thunder.
"Zhou Yiqiao, Her Highness the Princess has done me a favor. Even if you tell me the truth, I will not betray her."
"As for the matter of the next heir, you, a dying man, don't need to worry about it!"
Before he finished his words, Huang Bolie rushed towards Zhou Yiqiao like a mad bull.
Every step he took made the earth tremble, and the surrounding trees broke under his momentum.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yiqiao not only did not show a trace of cowardice, but instead showed an unprecedented excitement.
Just because he hadn't used his physical strength to fight others for a long time didn't mean he had forgotten his physical strength.
The Huang Bolie in front of him was the first person he saw who could put pressure on him in terms of physical cultivation, following the group from the Northern Wilderness Holy Sect!
"In that case, let me see how strong you are, this 'barbarian bull'!"
Zhou Yiqiao's voice echoed in the mountains and forests. He took the Dusk Sword back into his body and swallowed a plant of Blue Nighttalk and a large number of Qi and Blood Pills.
The next moment, his body began to change drastically. His muscles expanded rapidly, his bones made crisp popping sounds, and his entire aura instantly climbed to a new height.
When Huang Bolie saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by a fanatical fighting spirit.
He had never been afraid of any opponent, let alone an ordinary swordsman who came from outside the Great Xuantian!
"Well done!"
Huang Bolie shouted loudly, without slowing down, and slapped Zhou Yiqiao with his palms as if he were slapping mountains, with the momentum of creating the world.
Zhou Yiqiao did not retreat but advanced, shoving his feet hard on the ground, and rushed towards Huang Bolie's palms like a cannonball.
His fists were clenched tightly and the muscles in his arms bulged high like cast steel.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Zhou Yiqiao's fist collided fiercely with Huang Bolie's palms, making a deafening sound.
Under the influence of this shock wave, the surrounding air directly formed a brief vacuum area.
The two men's figures shook at the same time, and they each took a few steps back, but they had no intention of stopping. Their figures disappeared from the spot in an instant, and appeared again in the center of the battlefield in the blink of an eye!
