Lighting Lanterns in the Mountains and Seas

Chapter 502 This Time Is Different


"Yes." Both left and right hands cupped their fists and accepted the command.

Po Yuan moved, a single palm grasped the ground, solidified, and swung through the air. A soil dragon, a hundred zhang long, burst forth from the earth, its thundering presence shocking all onlookers, its whistling energy sweeping in all directions, blowing away countless Heart-wrapping Grass.

The flying soil dragon crashed into the distance, raising columns of smoke and dust.

A deep pit appeared on the ground before Po Yuan.

With a wave of his hand as a signal, the two left and right-hand men swiftly flashed into the hole in the ground one after the other.

Soon, a series of rumbling, earthquake-like sounds came from the cavern.

Po Yuan turned around, pointed to a part of the ground nearby, and immediately the ground churned, making way for him. He flashed in.

The underground disturbances gradually faded away, and the people of Divine Mountain around them looked at each other in dismay...

It was indeed as Po Yuan said, if the cultivation level is not high, the Earth Escape Technique indeed cannot move fast underground, not to mention Wu Jinliang was also slightly injured.

Just now, when he clashed palms with that goon from Divine Mountain, he did not have Shi Chun's 'Bath Demon Skill' to expel force, nor did he have the Treasure Robe's Transformation Power on his palm. Although the counterattack power of 'Demon Dispel Hand' could decompose and negate some of the attack force, it still honestly bore considerable attack force.

After all, it's a difference of one realm in cultivation level.

Once he escaped into the ground, with his blood boiling, he spat a mouthful of blood, and his arm ached intensely, sustaining some internal injuries as well.

Employing the Earth Escape Technique to endure and run underground for a while, expanding space slightly, the glow of Sandal Gold Flame Energy now appeared eerie.

Bam! He suddenly slapped Huang Yingying across the face with a loud smack and cursed, "Stop playing dead! Keep that act up, and I'll kill you!"

A moan escaped from Huang Yingying, seemingly awakening, displaying two bloody, flesh-ridden hands, and then pointing to the equally bloody area on his neck, "Mr. Gao, have mercy on this old man, I'm injured, and it's quite serious."

Wu Jinliang didn't care much about him, pressed him down, mounted on his back, shook the iron chain in his hand as if to whip him, and commanded, "Crawl fast!"

Alright, Huang Yingying had no choice but to work while injured, continuing to exercise the Earth Escape Technique, taking him deeper underground. The swirling earth and rocks diverted to the rear, avoiding them, quite miraculously.

However, good times didn't last long. Just as Wu Jinliang was contemplating distance calculation, a buzzing noise suddenly emanated from underground.

The two immediately looked around and listened intently, quickly discovering the noise originated behind them.

As the noise became increasingly clear, both their expressions changed drastically. The noise was the fierce friction of earth and rocks, a noise their Earth Escape Technique couldn't make; someone was forcefully tunneling underground and approaching rapidly.

"Go quickly!" Wu Jinliang shouted urgently.

Without needing his urging, Huang Yingying also took off in a wild escape.

Wu Jinliang dared not rest either. Though already enmeshed in pain and fatigue, he gathered his spirits and also used the Earth Escape Technique to hasten their escape.

But the buzzing sound behind had gradually transformed into rumbling, indicating that their fleeing speed was far inferior to that of their pursuers.

Huang Yingying exclaimed in panic, "Mr. Gao, should we escape to the surface?"

He didn't understand many situations, only knowing he killed people from the City Guard, also worrying it might be Mei You's side coming to silence him, making it hard to remain unfearful.

Wu Jinliang cursed immediately, "Bullshit! Such vast ground above, popping up anywhere would bump into people. There won't be a shortage of people searching outside; it'd be even harder to escape."

He was still relatively calm. Though nervous, he had faced danger many times, not to the point of panic like Old Huang.

Huang Yingying quickly suggested, "Then let's split up and run!"

"Stop!" Wu Jinliang directly tightened the iron chain to make him halt.

An unwitting Huang Yingying was yanked to a stop, his eyeballs bulging a bit, seemingly getting used to it.

But he didn't understand why they stopped. Seeing Wu Jinliang seemingly setting up for a confrontation, he panicked, "I say, Mr. Gao, going head-on won't work, to break through and traverse at such depths, one must at least be at the Human Immortal Great Achievement Realm; we cannot handle that!"

Having seen nothing of the world, Wu Jinliang couldn't be bothered with him, holding the iron chain with one hand, continuing to ride on his crotch, while casting spells to stir the Earth Escape Technique, quickly expanding a space of about a dozen zhang underground.

He retrieved a gourd from the Qiankun Bag, flung it onto his back, and with a flip, pulled out three Magical Treasures, inserting them into the soil behind him. Then, with a shake of his shoulder, the gourd's mouth popped open, and he prepared seriously, facing the direction from which the rumbling came.

In earlier years, he was one to flee when faced with danger; creating that big blade was initially to reduce risks.

Things have changed now; he doesn't want to lose face, nor lose the confrontation.

But the 'mount' beneath him appeared somewhat cowardly, visibly trembling as the rumbling sound approached.

Before long, the rumbling neared. Clearly, mana checked over, and then a gap burst open in the underground space. Two figures cautiously checked the interior from within the gap.

Wu Jinliang shook the chain and his hand holding Sandal Gold Illumination and shouted, "Can't run anymore, not running, we are willing to surrender."

"Ah?" Huang Yingying turned his head to look at him.

Seeing that there was indeed nothing significant inside, the two in the gap cautiously flashed out one after the other, maintaining a high level of vigilance.

Wu Jinliang took off the Qiankun Bag from his waist, "Willing to offer the valuable treasures inside to the two of you, please show mercy and give us a way to live!"

Saying this, he cast a spell to slowly push it over, indicating no hostility.

But the two were extremely cautious, not touching it directly, instead using spells to fix the Qiankun Bag in front of them.
