Chapter 40: Jumping Over the Moat (Urgently Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  Li Ranno smiled and raised his head, looking at the three purple-robed men with pale faces not far away. The small movements of the three people before he could not see, but the strength of the three was negligible. Li Ranno broke the seal first without removing them first, fearing that they would have a way to send messages before their death and report what happened here to stronger ones.

  At that time, I didn't know when the seal would be broken. If a stronger expert were to arrive, it would be troublesome.

  Now that he had the elixir in hand, Li Ran didn't bother with these insignificant people and only thought about how to leave quickly. He shouted loudly:

  "Earlier you said the Gong Sun family is fair and just, we get spiritual medicine based on our efforts. Now it seems I'm the one who put in the most effort, so I'll be taking these five spiritual medicines with me. Goodbye."

  Three men in purple clothes were about to vomit blood, their eyes filled with venom as they stared fiercely at Li Ran's knife.

  The weakest Gong Sun Yuefeng asked in a low and anxious voice:

  "Big brother, when will the elder arrive? If he doesn't come soon, this old man is going to run away."

  Gongsun Ship was also anxious and comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, it should be here soon... Hmm? Do you hear the sound of wind, haha, it must be Lao Long arriving."

  Li Ruo's expression also changed, the whistling sound from outside the mountain pass was too fast, he had just realized it, and the sound was already more than a dozen zhang closer, this speed also scared Li Ruo, he couldn't think of anyone in the world except for those above the Divine Movement stage who could achieve such speed, even his own Swan Feather Skill was far from comparable.

  Li Ran's knife flashed as he suddenly turned his head towards the three purple-robed men, and saw that they simultaneously sneered coldly.

  Gongsun Shuang said in a loud voice:

  "Halt, old man! I advise you to put down all the spiritual medicine immediately, or perhaps we can spare your life. Otherwise, as you've also heard, the person who has arrived is the elder of our Gong Sun family's Divine Movement period. If you don't comply, you'll lose both your wealth and your life - don't say we didn't warn you."

  "Gongsun family, you're so ruthless!"

  Li Ran suddenly stretched out his hand and stuffed all five stalks of bitter hemp into his bosom, casting a cold glance at the three men in purple robes. In the midst of the chaos, he looked towards the outside of the mountain valley, just as a tall figure turned over the mountain wall and rushed over like flying.

  The enemy is narrow, and it turns out to be Gong Sunhong, the grandson of Qi Changlao.

  Gongsun Hong happened to be nearby and rushed over upon hearing the news. At a glance, he took in the situation and shouted from afar:

  "That old man, leave behind the spiritual medicine and I'll spare your life..."

  "You must be kidding!"

  Li Ran's knife also jumped in fright, suddenly turned around, the second step of the Wild Goose Heart Method rushed through his body, his body lightly floated towards that majestic mountain, a flash of light leaped out extremely far, and with another mouthful of air, his body rose into the air, landing on a rock, his body then sprang up several dozen feet high, and actually climbed up along the mountain ridge, step by step, like climbing a heavenly ladder straight up to the summit.

  Three men in purple clothes originally wanted to fly over and intercept, but in the blink of an eye, they saw that old man "fly" out. The three of them opened their mouths wide, looking stupidly at the Li Fung knife rising slowly into the air like a heavenly ladder, their hearts both shocked and frightened, feeling that everything strange and mysterious before their eyes had completely exceeded their cognitive range.

  Gongsun Hong was shocked and enraged from afar.

  Jīng Yuán jìng wǔ chóng gōng lì, shàng shān rú yù fēng fēi xiáng, zhè fèn qīng shēn shēn fǎ ràng tā dōu yǒu yī zhǒng jīng yàn zhī gǎn. Tā píng mànlì kěyǐ bēnháng de gèng kuài, dànshì lùn miào màn líng dòng, dǎ sǐ tā tā yě zuò bù dào zhè yī bù ā.

  "What's this old man's origin? How does he have such abilities?"

  Gongsun Hong rushed forward several steps and arrived near the three people in purple clothes. The senior brother shouted loudly:

  "The seven elders, that old man took away five stalks of spiritual medicine, each one at least several hundred years old..."

  Needless to say, Gong Sun Hong's jealousy suddenly ignited, and he gritted his teeth as he looked up at the figure in the distance.

  No longer caring about the old man's origins, Gong Sun Hong concentrated all his strength to the extreme, his toes tapped heavily on the mountain rocks, and he swiftly dashed out like the wind. In a few strides, he climbed up the mountain and fiercely chased after Li Ran's back.

  Li Ran's temples also bulged with blue veins.

  He brought out all his strength, and with the help of Er Bu Yan Feng Xin Fa, he climbed the mountain as if assisted by a god, but Li Ran still felt dissatisfied.

  "Faster, I want to go even faster..."

  Li Ran's knife rose again, the hot air in his chest had a scorching pain, his movements sped up by another thread, but behind him, Gong Sun Hong was still rapidly approaching at an extremely fast speed.

  One was a powerhouse in the Divine Movement stage, while the other was only at the fifth level of Essence Qi. The gap between them was too great, and if Li Ran hadn't broken through to the second step of the Wild Goose Qigong, he would probably have been caught by his opponent in just a few breaths.

  Li Ran's knife burned with his full potential, desperately climbing up the mountain, but no matter what he did, he couldn't stop the figure getting closer and closer behind him.

  Gongsun Hong's eyes widened as he gazed forward at the old man with a cold smile in secret.

  This old man's skill is deeply impressive, but wanting to monopolize the spiritual medicine just because of this is truly ignorant.

  As they saw the two getting closer and closer to the mountain top, Gong Sun Hong's speed became even faster, taking a big stride forward, quickly closing in on Li Ran with his knife.

  Li Ruo's sword flashed again, and he lightly flew up several zhang, landing on the summit of the mountain. Below him was a precipice of ten thousand zhang, while Gong Sun Hong was only a few zhang away from him, just one step behind.

  Jian saw that Li was forced into a desperate situation, and Gong Sun Hong was overjoyed. Taking advantage of the howling mountain wind, he shouted loudly: "Old man, you stay here for me!"

  Gongsun Hong took a step forward and reached out to grab Li Ruo's back, intending to capture the old man with one hand. Suddenly, he saw Li Ruo jumping down towards the bottom of the cliff, shrouded in mist, his body plummeting downwards like a bullet.

  At such a height, even a strong man like Gong Sun Hong wouldn't dare to jump down. Seeing this old man choose such a heroic way of self-mutilation for just a few spiritual herbs, Gong Sun Hong stopped abruptly at the edge of the cliff, staring blankly at the black shadow below, panting heavily.

  At this moment, Gong Sun Hong's eyes suddenly widened again.

  He saw the black shadow in mid-air, and suddenly a pair of wide wings unfolded behind it, stabilizing its downward momentum, soaring far away with the mountain wind, and disappearing into the depths of the cloud sea in an instant.

  "This...this..."

  Gongsun Hong was stunned.

  It wasn't until now that he realized the old man was not self-mutilating. Everything had fallen into the old man's scheme, and it turned out that the old man had calculated all of this long ago, leaving this strong cultivator in the divine movement period staring blankly at the spiritual medicine treasure without being able to come up with any solution.

  Li Ruo had already estimated the height of this majestic mountain and secretly calculated the difference in speed between himself and Gong Sun Hong, knowing that if he gave it his all, he should be able to reach the summit before being caught.

  As long as he reached the top of the mountain, with the Wind Wing snatched from that man in green, Gong Sun Hong would no longer be able to do anything to him.

  Li Ran's knife borrowed the mountain wind and flew steadily into the distance, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief.

  It's not just because he got a few more spiritual herbs, nor is it just because he teased Gong Sun Hong again. It's also because, by flying against the wind from the top of Wan Lian Cliff, he had never experienced this in his two lifetimes as a human being.

  If one doesn't cultivate to the Dan Xiang period and become a true flying immortal, flying will always be humanity's ultimate dream. Li Ruo Dao experienced it ahead of time, it was truly exhilarating.

  The altitude was getting lower and lower, Li Ran's knife directly flew over a forest, finally putting away the pure energy of the wind wing. With a somersault in mid-air, he landed steadily on the ground, turned his head to look back, this time flying out dozens of miles away, he had already left the valley direction without a few days' journey.

  Thinking of Gong Sun Hong blowing his beard and glaring, with a look of desperation, Li Ran's knife was excited in the dark, identifying the direction, drilling into the mountain forest towards the exit of the Misty Valley.

  "Gongsun Hong, you owe our Li family a debt, sooner or later I will get it back bit by bit."

  Li Ran Dao clenched his teeth and disappeared into the mountains in just a few steps.
