Seeing Ji Tianxing fleeing with his sword, the Sky-Swallowing Beast roared angrily and launched a desperate pursuit.
It flapped its four pairs of wings, and dazzling blood gushed out from its body, like a meteor streaking through the night sky.
However, after chasing it for three hundred miles, it was chased away by Ji Tianxing without a trace.
Ji Tianxing, who was flying with his sword, reached the limit of speed, comparable to a strong man at the fourth or fifth level of the Soul Refining Realm.
Although the Sky-Swallowing Beast has been carefully cultivated by the Third Prince for a long time, under the catalysis of the Source of Ten Thousand Gus, it has reached the Soul Refining Realm strength.
But it excels in its strength, strong defense, and ability to devour all things.
Speed is not its strong point, which is the level of ordinary second-level soul refining realm experts.
The Sky-Swallowing Beast stopped in the night sky unwillingly. After roaring several times in anger, its body shrank violently.
"Whoosh!"
After a flash of dark red blood, its kilometer-long body shrank hundreds of times, turning into a two-meter-tall red-haired boy.
It turned into the appearance of Tuoba Rui, with a ferocious face, eyes as scarlet as blood, and a bloody mouth on its abdomen.
However, the real Tuoba Rui has been completely wiped out.
He is not a real sky-swallowing beast, but a puppet of Tiandu!
He merged with Tuoba Rui's body and soul, and possessed part of Tuoba Rui's memory and wisdom. He didn't look as dull and stiff as before.
But as a puppet of Tiandu, he has no thoughts of his own and is completely obedient to the orders of the third prince.
"Ji Tianxing! You little reptile, sooner or later, I'm going to swallow you up completely!"
The Tiandu puppet clenched its fists, and the blood basin in its abdomen opened and closed, making a dull and hoarse sound.
After that, he flapped the wings behind him and turned into a dark red stream of light, flying through the night and heading back towards Zhongzhou City.
A few hours passed quickly.
At noon the next day, the puppets of Tiandu rushed back to the palace in the south of Zhongzhou City.
"Whoosh!"
He fell from the sky and landed outside the gate of the manor.
The many guards guarding the gate immediately bowed and saluted, "See you, Master Tuoba!"
The Tiandu puppet ignored the many guards, expressionlessly stepped through the gate and entered the manor.
After a while, he entered the palace deep in the manor and came to the door of the third prince's secret room.
He used a secret method to open the stone door of the secret room and strode into the secret room.
In the secret room, the third prince was sitting on the spiritual jade throne, holding a spiritual stone in each hand, and was exercising to restore his power.
Previously, in order to use the Heavenly Capital Blood Melting Technique and refine the Heavenly Capital Puppet, he had consumed 70% to 80% of his energy, and his vitality was severely damaged.
Even though he has been doing exercises and recuperating for two or three days, he has not been able to fully recover so far.
The Tiandu puppet entered the secret room, walked to him and stood ten steps away, bowed respectfully: "Master!"
The third prince paused his training, opened his eyes and looked at him, and asked in a cold tone: "Tuoba, the mission is completed? Where is Ji Tianxing?"
The Tiandu puppet showed an expression of shame, lowered his head and said, "I would like to inform my master that my subordinate did something wrong and allowed Ji Tianxing to escape!"
"That little beast escaped?" The third prince's expression changed and he frowned fiercely.
The puppets of Tiandu did not dare to hide anything and quickly reported what happened last night in detail.
After the third prince heard this, his face became more solemn, and his eyes were filled with deep anger and hatred.
"I have just become a puppet of Tiandu. When I used this secret weapon for the first time, I had a bad start, allowing Ji Tianxing to escape!
Tuoba Rui is a bastard. I have wasted more than ten years raising him. I didn't expect that he turned out to be a white-eyed wolf!
He only has his soul left, yet he still colludes with Ji Tianxing and joins forces to resist, it is simply a shame to die!"
The puppets of Tiandu felt the anger and murderous intention of the third prince, and lowered their heads in awe, not daring to say a word.
After a while, when the third prince's anger dissipated a little, he said: "Master, it is your subordinate who has let you down!
However, the subordinates looked at the direction in which Ji Tianxing was escaping, and it seemed that he was heading towards Yunling Palace.
Master, please rest assured, my subordinates will go to ambush near Yunling Palace now, and I will definitely be able to capture Ji Tianxing this time!"
The Tiandu puppet has a certain degree of wisdom. Although its IQ is not very high, it at least knows how to make up for its mistakes.
The third prince waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "No need, you have already failed once, it is useless to ambush now, he will definitely be alert.
This action can be regarded as a trial, and it will be a failure.
At least, the power and effectiveness of Tiandu Puppet have met my expectations, and it will be of great use in the future!"
The Tiandu puppet respectfully raised his hands and asked, "Master, what should I do with Ji Tianxing?"
The third prince said with a gloomy face: "Let him live for a few more days for the time being. After I have completely eliminated the hidden dangers in my body and my strength has returned to its peak, I will personally kill him.
There is only one month left before his wedding to Yunyao, and then I will turn his wedding into a funeral!"
"I understand!" Tiandu Puppet cupped his fists and saluted.
"Heal with peace of mind! Integrate Tuoba Rui's soul as soon as possible to improve your strength!"
The third prince waved his sleeves, and with a hazy spiritual light, he put the Tiandu puppets into the colorful altar.
…
At the same time, Ji Tianxing was riding Qian Yue, flying in the vast sea of white clouds.
The midday sun shone on him, making him feel a touch of warmth, and his fatigue was dispelled a lot.
Last night, in order to escape the pursuit of the Sky-Swallowing Beast, he ran for hundreds of miles with his sword and consumed a lot of real energy.
Coupled with the fact that he had been traveling all day and used his special tricks several times, most of the true energy in his body had already been consumed.
Now his strength is very weak, with only about 40% of his combat effectiveness left.
If the sky-swallowing beast catches up again, he will never be a match and will encounter unexpected events.
"This bastard Long Zaitian actually used the source of all poisons and sorcery to cultivate a sky-swallowing beast. He is simply vicious and cruel!
Fortunately, he only sent the Sky-Swallowing Beast and did not come to intercept and kill me personally, otherwise I would definitely not have been able to escape last night!"
Ji Tianxing murmured in a low voice, his face still gloomy, and his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Qianyue said to him while flying: "Old Ji, the third prince has been using all kinds of conspiracies and tricks against you. You are in the open and he is in the dark. Your situation is too passive!
Doesn’t Long Yunxiao also have a grudge against him? Why do you have to fight alone?
I suggest you talk to Long Yunxiao, maybe you two can join forces to deal with the third prince!
With your strength and means, coupled with Long Yunxiao’s power, you may not be able to kill him!"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said calmly: "Qianyue, even if you don't remind me, I have had this idea.
However, I have to go to Yunling Palace to take care of things first, and then I will discuss this matter with Long Yunxiao after I return to the Emperor's Palace."
Qianyue flapped her wings and continued: "By the way, Lao Ji, you also have to tell Palace Master Yun and Baili Divine Doctor about this. After all, they are senior experts and may be able to think of a solution.
You are not fighting alone now, we all support you!
As long as we put our heads together, we can always find a solution."
