Escape and Pursuit

The instant Li Yunfan uttered the word "run," he threw out the Cloud Piercing Boat that he had prepared beforehand. At the same time, he pushed off with his right foot and quickly leaped up, landing on the Cloud Piercing Boat.

Han Li, standing beside him, was equally quick. Almost the instant he heard Li Yunfan's voice, he released the Divine Wind Boat and then used the Luo Yan Step to jump onto it.

The moment his foot landed, he immediately poured all his magical power into the Divine Wind Boat, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a streak of white light and flew away at lightning speed.

As for Dong Xuan'er, she had already received Li Yunfan's instructions, so she acted quickly. Since she did not have a good flying artifact, she followed Li Yunfan and jumped onto the Cloud Piercing Boat after hearing his shout.

The young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, who had been watching this place, was stunned when he heard Li Yunfan's shout. Then his expression turned ugly. He did not expect that these three people not only did not enter the formation, but also seemed to have seen something and ran away without hesitation!

Then a look of anger flashed across his face, and a cold killing intent burst forth in his eyes. He would not allow anyone to escape from his scheme.

His body surged with spiritual energy, and his internal cultivation technique circulated rapidly. A thick, blood-red mist burst forth from his body, instantly transforming into a blood cloud several dozen feet high, which aggressively chased after Li Yunfan and Han Lifei in the direction they had fled.

"Tell the two elders that three bugs have escaped. I'll go after them first. Tell the two elders to activate the formation and come here immediately!"

Although Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, was furious, he did not lose his mind. As he transformed into a blood cloud and chased after her, he used his divine sense to transmit a message to the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivator who had been standing beside him.

Upon hearing the young master's words, the cultivator dared not delay and hurriedly went to the two Core Formation elders of the Ghost Spirit Sect who were in charge of the formation.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yunfan and Han Li flew more than a hundred miles away from Yanling Fortress. Although their flying magic weapons were both top-tier, Wang Chan's Blood Spirit Great Art's Blood Escape Technique was also extraordinary. After a chase, they gradually closed the distance by more than ten feet.

This surprised Wang Chan, and at the same time, it intensified his killing intent towards the three of them.

Li Yunfan glanced back at the blood cloud behind him, secretly pondered for a moment, and then transmitted his thoughts to Han Li beside him.

"Junior brother, that's enough. If we drag this out any longer, their Core Formation cultivators might catch up!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li turned to look at Li Yunfan, who nodded at him. Han Li then turned around and flew off in another direction.

After Han Li turned around, Li Yunfan also changed direction and flew in the opposite direction from Han Li.

After Wang Chan, who had transformed into a blood cloud, discovered that they had split up and fled, she hesitated only slightly before chasing after Li Yunfan. During the chase, she had already sensed the cultivation levels of the three: only one was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while the other two were only early-stage cultivators.

Although there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the direction he was chasing, he was confident that he could keep them in check with the Blood Spirit Technique. As long as the elders arrived, the two of them would have no chance of survival, and the remaining early-stage cultivator would have no chance of escaping the pursuit of the Core Formation cultivator.

Looking at the blood cloud chasing after him, Li Yunfan couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Why are you chasing me instead of Han Li?!"

In his mind, after he and Han Li split up, the other party would most likely go after Han Li, since the other party was only one person and his cultivation was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. He thought that the other party should go after him.

However, it was too late to think about the reasons now. The three of them had fled together, and the other party had personally chased after them. The Core Formation cultivator sent by the Ghost Spirit Sect to protect Wang Chan would definitely come after them personally to ensure the safety of their young master.

"Senior Brother Li, the distance between us and the enemy is constantly closing. They'll probably catch up soon. What should we do?" Dong Xuan'er turned around and looked at Xue Yun, a look of panic on her face as she asked.

Li Yunfan frowned, his thoughts racing, and immediately decided to stop fighting his opponent!

Even if he continues to run, he will be caught up soon and will still have to fight the other party. Since that's the case, it's better to stop voluntarily, which will save some spiritual energy.

Of course, the most important thing is that the other party's Core Formation cultivator will most likely catch up and head straight for Wang Chan's location. Given the flying speed of a Core Formation cultivator, even if he flies hundreds of miles away, the other party can easily catch up with him.

So, if he can defeat Wang Chan as soon as possible, he can use something in his storage bag to evade the pursuit of Core Formation cultivators. Although he is not sure if that thing can evade the detection of Core Formation cultivators, he is at least 50% sure!

Thinking of this, he immediately stopped the Cloud Piercing Boat in mid-air and turned to look at the approaching blood clouds.

"What, are you not going to continue your escape?" Wang Chan's cold voice came from within the blood cloud.

"Hahaha! The young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect doesn't even dare to show his true face. Is he so afraid of death?" Li Yunfan stared sharply at Xue Yun, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chan, who was inside the blood cloud, immediately darkened his face and looked at Li Yunfan with murderous intent in his eyes. Just as he was about to attack him, he suddenly thought of a crucial question and asked him sharply.

How did you know who I am?

"You might as well die with this question in your heart!"

A murderous glint flashed in Li Yunfan's eyes. He raised his hand and shot out more than a dozen low-level fireball talismans. The talismans instantly transformed into dozens of fireballs that roared towards the blood cloud. During this time, he took out the top-tier magic weapon, the Crimson Fire Sword, and held it in his hand. At the same time, he said to Dong Xuan'er behind him.

"Junior sister, if you don't want to be captured, then help me defeat this person. Otherwise, if a Core Formation cultivator comes after us, neither of us will escape. As long as we defeat this person, I will have a way to evade the pursuit of Core Formation cultivators!"

Dong Xuan'er's expression changed several times. In fact, when she heard that the other party was the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, she had the idea of ​​escaping. However, she was worried that Li Yunfan would also take the opportunity to escape. Since she did not have a flying magic weapon like the other party, she might be caught by the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect in just a few breaths. So she held back.

"Boom!"

Just as she was pondering this, Li Yunfan's talisman attack struck the blood cloud, and the series of explosions interrupted her thoughts.

Looking up at the blood cloud, one could see that the front of the originally raging blood cloud had been blasted apart by these talismans, becoming somewhat sparser, and the figure of the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect could still be vaguely seen in it.

"good!"

As if realizing that her opponent was not invincible, Dong Xuan'er finally made up her mind, nodded heavily, and summoned her weapon.

All of this sounds slow, but in reality, from the moment Li Yunfan shot out the talisman to the moment Dong Xuan'er summoned her weapon, only two or three breaths passed.

Wang Chan did not dodge for two reasons: firstly, the fireball was too fast; secondly, he was confident in his cultivation of the Blood Spirit Technique; and of course, the massive and unyielding blood cloud surrounding his body was also a factor.

After being attacked by the fireball talisman, Wang Chan made a hand seal, and the blood cloud that had been blasted apart visibly recovered.

Then Wang Chan changed the hand seals in his palm and suddenly let out several sharp whistles. With these whistles, the blood clouds suddenly surged and filled the sky in the blink of an eye.
