Chapter 706 - You’re Too Slow

Giving him a chance to save his old life was because, despite his young age, he had already reached the high tier of the Bone Tempering Period; perhaps his backing sect was not simple either!

When he issued the warning, he sincerely believed that Xiao Yi would know better and surrender on his own volition...

However, the unexpected occurred just as his words fell; Xiao Yi’s figure, once again like a giant bird, fiercely leaped toward the courtyard wall up ahead.

"Insolent youth!"

The old man had never imagined that Xiao Yi could be so audacious and daring to even think about escaping right under his watch. Almost immediately as Xiao Yi moved, he let out a roar filled with rage, his eyes revealing a murderous intent and his face tightening, while his figure turned into a bolt of lightning, racing towards Xiao Yi’s leaping direction with a speed that belied his aged appearance.

This time, the old man attacked in a rage, his energy nearly cresting at its peak, and his speed and strength were indescribably faster than before.

He had vowed in his heart to intercept this junior no matter what. Previously, out of carelessness, he had felt no one would dare to disturb him and had taken a nap, letting him sneak inside, which was already a loss of face. If he couldn’t detain him now, where else could he place his old face?

Moreover, once intercepted, regardless of who the junior’s elders were or what background they had, he was determined to teach him a harsh lesson, letting him know the consequences of challenging his dignity!

Feeling the momentum radiating from the old man behind him and the powerful palm force he narrowly dodged, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but inwardly curse. The old man’s strength was even greater than he had anticipated. Moreover, the old man was extremely cunning; he didn’t strike directly from behind, which would have allowed Xiao Yi to use the force to propel himself forward and break out of the Li mansion.

His palm strike came from an angle at the side, not only preventing Xiao Yi from utilizing it but also targeting a critical spot near his organs. With his strength, he dared not withstand it directly, but if he chose to dodge, he would have to slide to the side. Once he slipped, it would likely trigger a tough fight, no longer making escape easy since the guards below, already alerted by the old man’s roar, were fully mobilized...

The guards might not be very strong, but they were all armed with firearms, and they were professionals...

He wasn’t afraid of one gun, but dozens of guns firing at him non-stop, plus a master of similar Condensation period and slightly superior strength disturbing him from the side made it difficult — after all, he was not an immortal.

"Here goes nothing!"

In a flash, a myriad of thoughts raced through Xiao Yi’s mind. Gritting his teeth, he thrust out his palm fiercely towards the attacking palm force from the old man!

Watching Xiao Yi’s movement, the old man almost instantaneously saw through Xiao Yi’s intent. A cold smirk appeared at the corner of his eye — this was self-sought death, don’t blame me for being ruthless!

As Xiao Yi extended his palm, a vicious glint flashed in the old man’s eyes; his palm suddenly quickened, moving even faster towards the center of Xiao Yi’s palm.

"Die!"

In his heart, the old man screamed, his face twisting grotesquely. In his mind, the situation that was about to unfold was beyond doubt; his palm force would instantly crush this talented, young man who had reached the high tier of the Bone Tempering Period, penetrating his body and completely destroying him, perhaps even costing him his life!

"Thump!"

However, just as his grotesque smile hadn’t fully spread across his face, it suddenly froze. In the moment their palms met, he shockingly felt an unbelievably powerful force rushing towards him; his strength was actually blocked!

A muffled sound of exploding air burst open in the atmosphere.

In this clash, he had only a slight advantage; far from a crushing victory, he hadn’t even gained a decisive upper hand!

This kid was not in the Bone Tempering Period, but the Condensation period!

At the moment of impact, a thought flashed through the old man’s mind, his face filled with disbelief and incredulity.

His figure involuntarily froze. So young, yet already in the Condensation Period, and even able to counter his palm; this was truly terrifying!

This old man, his cultivation power is actually so high!

Xiao Yi was also in a tough spot, his palm tingling faintly. The old man’s cultivation power was even more profound than he had imagined. However, now was not the time for him to be shocked. He chose to clash with the old man to seize this brief opportunity. If he didn’t leave now, when would he?

Without any hesitation and completely ignoring the discomfort and pressure in his palms and chest, while the old man was still in shock and a daze, Xiao Yi took advantage of the moment their palms met to abruptly change direction. Once again, he leaped into the air and jumped towards the surrounding wall ahead...

"Where do you think you’re escaping to!"

The old man, after all, was at the peak of the Initial Tier of the Condensation period. In that brief instant, as Xiao Yi’s figure rose and the rustle of his clothes stretched through the wind, the old man had already reacted. He shouted loudly and his figure suddenly turned into a black streak of lightning, chasing after Xiao Yi.

Just as the old man’s figure had barely rushed forward, several walls of the Li mansion emitted slight cracks almost at the same time. A large ancient tree in the center of the courtyard began shedding its leaves rustling down.

Those guards who had been fully focused below, ready to strike, as well as the people from the Li family who had come out upon hearing the noise, all widened their eyes in disbelief and shock at the scene.

Even the two High Tier Bone Tempering experts were completely dumbstruck!

The mere aftershock of the clash between their palm forces had caused such a disturbance. This... it was too terrifying, far beyond their previous understanding...

Upon leaping out of the entrance of the Li mansion, Xiao Yi did not stop for a moment. He continued to gulp for air and sprinted forward...

Soon, he felt the shadow that was chasing him like a persistent specter. Yet, in his heart, there wasn’t the slightest bit of nervousness. Instead, his eyes curved into a slight, mocking cold smile...

If it came to a fight, he may not necessarily be able to outmatch the old man, but when it came to escaping? Just with this old man, a mere Initial Tier of the Condensation phase with only slightly higher cultivation power than his, thinking of catching up to him?

Hehe...

If you want to chase, then let’s have you chase to your heart’s content...

A mischievous smile played at the corners of Xiao Yi’s mouth as he continued to race through the night at a steady pace...

Hmph, this damn kid, I refuse to believe that you can escape from my palm...

Even if you are in the Condensation period, you’re at most just a kid who has entered the Condensation period a few days ago. When I entered the Condensation period, your parents probably weren’t even born yet, hmph, today I’ll let you know, I’ll make you understand that even within the same Condensation period, there is still a difference in strength...

Watching the shadow in front that he still couldn’t shake off, the old man’s eyes flickered with a disdainful look, mixed with a hint of indescribable anger. He continued to vigorously increase his speed, pushing it to the utmost...

He felt that by just exerting a little more effort, he would soon catch up to that kid upfront...

However, very soon, the smile on his face gradually solidified. He realized that no matter how much he accelerated, the shadow ahead seemed to be getting closer, but there was always this same distance between them...

But now, he was completely irrational as he had committed to this chase. The longer he chased, the more anxious and desperate the old man became, continually trying to boost his cultivation power, refusing to believe he couldn’t catch up, feeling like he could make up the distance even if it exhausted his powers...

Dammit, you damn kid, don’t let me catch up, because if I do, I will skin you alive, slice your flesh, and use your bones for firewood!

The old man’s mindset became increasingly chaotic. Staring at the hated shadow ahead, his lean, dry hands clenched tightly, his teeth grinding fiercely, his pace quickened to its limits!

"Hey, old man, you’re just too slow. You’re no fun to play with at all! Bye-bye now!"

Feeling he had nearly reached his limits, Xiao Yi finally decided to end this cat and mouse game. Turning his head, he waved at the old man then suddenly increased his speed, as if transforming into an arrow released from its bow, speeding towards a corner ahead much faster than before.

The old man, who was already steaming from his nostrils in chase, nearly burst a lung from Xiao Yi’s words. Blood nearly sprayed from his mouth, his eyes flaming with fury as he glared at Xiao Yi, wordlessly, his head low, ferociously chasing after Xiao Yi.

He secretly resolved that if he caught the boy, he would not kill him outright but would make him undergo the cruelest tortures known to man, letting him die in the most extreme agony.

However, when he reached the corner ahead on the street, the shadow ahead had completely disappeared. He didn’t know which direction it had taken, and he couldn’t even sense the presence anymore.
