Chapter 1858: Toy

Su Zimo sped the entire way.

Liu Tong chased closely behind!

Before long, the two of them left Dragon Abyss City far behind.

Initially, Liu Tong thought that Su Zimo’s stamina, Essence Qi and Essence Spirit must have reached their limits after the battle.

However, his stamina, Essence Qi and Essence Spirits were all at their peak!

As long as he kept his eyes on Su Zimo, it wouldn’t be long before the latter was exhausted. At that time, he could capture the latter alive without any bloodshed!

By then, he would have countless methods to interrogate Su Zimo about those divine powers and secret skills.

However, Liu Tong had been chasing for almost an entire night and the skies were already turning bright. The green-robed figure in front of him was still sprinting in his line of sight!

As a Grade 8 Black Immortal, he already felt exhausted and his blood qi was weak after traveling for such a long time.

He had to consume a few elixirs along the way to maintain it.

However, that person’s speed showed no signs of slowing down after the entire night!

“What sort of physique does this person have?!”

Liu Tong cursed internally.

If this continued, he would be exhausted, let alone capture this person alive!

It was already unusual for a Grade 5 Black Immortal to be able to match him in terms of movement speed.

What was even stranger was that this person’s stamina seemed endless!

In fact, Liu Tong even felt despair.

There was no way he knew how shocking the regeneration capabilities of the Green Lotus True Body were—even the Dragon Phoenix True Body back then could not compare!

After the Green Lotus True Body grew to Grade 9, its regeneration speed was even more terrifying!

It was daybreak.

Finally, Liu Tong could not take it anymore.

He took a deep breath with a resolute expression and decided to release a secret skill to increase his speed!

This secret skill came from the fiend sects and he obtained it by accident after killing a fiend sect cultivator.

All these years, he had never used it in front of anyone.

That was because once released, the secret skill would have an immense impact on his body and it would consume a lot of blood qi and Essence Qi. It might take hundreds of years to recover!

However, if he could suppress Su Zimo, he would not hesitate even if he had to expend his blood qi!

“Fiend Movement Art!”

Liu Tong channeled his Essence Spirit and conjured hand seals with both hands, causing his aura to change!

Two pitch-black fiend qi grew rapidly from his body, as though they took away a large amount of his blood qi essence!

The two fiend qi coiled around his feet.

Liu Tong’s feet were injected with an extremely violent power and he became much lighter. His speed increased exponentially and he sped forward, leaving a series of afterimages in the air!

The distance between Liu Tong and Su Zimo was closing rapidly!

Before long, there were only a few hundred feet left between the two of them!

Liu Tong was invigorated and was delighted. Retrieving the perfect black-grade spear from his storage bag, he was prepared to attack the moment Su Zimo was within his attack range!

“Oh?”

Sensing the commotion behind him, Su Zimo glanced sideways.

“Fufu,”

Looking at Liu Tong who was drenched in sweat and had a menacing expression, Su Zimo chuckled and shook his head.

Compared to Liu Tong, Su Zimo seemed much calmer at the moment. His face was rosy and he did not sweat at all. His breathing was steady and long as though he was taking a leisurely stroll.

“Commander Liu, thank you for sending me off. Please wait,”

Su Zimo said and channeled his Essence Spirit and innate divine powers!

With a swoosh, two gigantic wings grew from his back. They were golden and every single feather shone with a mysterious divine light!

This was an innate divine power inherited from the Golden Roc, Extreme Speed!

Initially, Su Zimo did not use it partly because he wanted to lure Liu Tong away. At the same time, he wanted to see how long Liu Tong could chase for.

Now that Liu Tong had released his secret skill, he no longer hesitated.

The speed of the Golden Roc was top-tier even among the trichiliocosm of the upper world and almost no living being could match it!

Phew!

The golden wings flapped and Su Zimo transformed into a streak of light, shooting out!

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two of them increased once more!

“What?!”

Liu Tong’s eyes widened and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood!

This was a huge blow to him.

He chased for an entire night and released a secret skill of the fiend sects that expended his blood qi. Just as he was about to catch up to Su Zimo, the latter released a divine power that was even faster than him!

Not only did the distance between the two of them not shorten, it even increased rapidly!

Su Zimo had the wings of the Golden Roc and could soar through the air. He could ignore the obstacles such as rocks and shrubs on the ground and was even faster.

However, Liu Tong was sprinting on the ground entirely.

In less than half an hour, Su Zimo had already vanished from Liu Tong’s line of sight!

Liu Tong had no choice but to stop in his tracks with a livid expression. Panting heavily, his eyes spewed fire and his head was about to explode from anger!

He chased for an entire night but could not even touch the corner of Su Zimo’s clothes!

Liu Tong ground his teeth and clenched his fists. After standing on the spot for a long time, he suppressed the anger in his heart and turned towards Dragon Abyss City.

He ran with all his might for an entire night.

However, it took him more than two days to return to Dragon Abyss City!

“Eh? Isn’t that Commander Liu?”

A guard at the city gate saw a travel-worn cultivator walking over from afar. He was covered in dust and looked a little wretched.

If not for the badge on his waist, the guards would not have recognized him.

“Didn’t Commander Liu chase after Su Zimo? Why did he return on his own?” Someone asked in confusion.

Another guard said, “Is there a need to ask? Su Zimo must have been killed on the spot. Do you expect Commander Liu to bring a corpse back?”

Before long, Liu Tong arrived at the city gate of Dragon Abyss City.

“Commander Liu is back!”

A guard greeted him with a smile.

Another guard bowed with a smile as well and shouted, “Congratulations, Commander Liu, for killing that ruffian, Su Zimo! You’ve returned victorious!”

Liu Tong stopped in his tracks.

He could not help but recall the scene two days ago and his expression darkened instantly. A surge of anger surged into his heart as he slapped the city guard on the face!

Crack!

The sound of bones cracking could be heard.

The city guard was also a Grade 6 Black Immortal. However, his cheek was smashed by Liu Tong and he rolled dozens of feet away, fainting on the spot!

“Please forgive me, Commander Liu!”

The other guards at the city gate shuddered in fear and knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to raise their heads.

Liu Tong grit his teeth and asked, “Where are the few people who were with Su Zimo previously?”

“Commander Liu, those people left the city two days ago and we don’t know where they are,”

A city guard replied warily.

The rage in Liu Tong’s heart intensified but he had nowhere to vent it.

At that moment, he understood that Su Zimo was trying to lure him away!

That person was clearly toying with him!

“Scram!”

Liu Tong raised his leg and kicked away a few city guards before returning to his residence in a huff.

This time round, not only did he return empty-handed, he even lost a lot of blood qi essence.

He had to recuperate for a period of time before he could recover completely.
