A Heaven Ascension youngster?

Gou Gui was also stunned and soon began trembling with anger. How dare an ant view our clansmen as food?!

Moreover, the ant had even set a trap for them and caused them to suffer heavy casualties!

He was an almighty King Stage existence who had risen to fame many years ago. In fact, even ordinary King Stage experts were unable to enter his eyes.

Despite this, he had suffered serious injuries and had barely avoided disaster!

Indescribable shame and anger flooded his heart. Gou Gui wished he could grab Lin Xun right now and skin him alive.

Gou Gui sinisterly said, "Dont worry, Young Master. When I recover from my injuries, I will immediately set out to capture him and make him beg for death!"

If the news that a famous King expert like himself had fallen into such a sorry state due to a Heaven Ascension youngster, he would undoubtedly become a laughing stock in the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

Gou Xuxing was clearly also in a terrible mood. "I genuinely wish I could personally capture him, cook him alive, and eat him!"

He was a top young-generation expert with the title of Thousand Killer. It was very humiliating for someone like him to have been tricked by another individual from the younger generation.

"Hehe."

Light laughter suddenly sounded from the sky far away as something emerged above the clouds.

A figure stood atop the ship. His clothes fluttered in the wind as his black hair danced around him, giving off an untouchable aura. It was Lin Xun.

"It's you! Gou Xuxing instantly recognized him with a single glance. It was the target they were supposed to deal with.

"How ballsy of you to show up on your own accord! Gou Xuxing laughed in anger as his eyes glowed intimidatingly with burning hatred and an ice-cold light.

He never imagined that the other party would voluntarily appear before them instead of fleeing. Was he trying to show off?

Looks like hes not afraid of death!

"I can smell that girl's scent on him. He's the target!"

The other Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan experts shouted, realizing Lin Xun's identity.

The anger that had built up inside them erupted. This was the damned little shit that had eaten one of their companions and caused them to suffer heavy casualties!

To think that he would come straight to them and voluntarily reveal himself. He was clearly provoking them!

"Die!"

Gou Gui was even more direct. He rose to his feet the moment he identified Lin Xun and viciously swung his palm.

Boom!

Horrifying blinding blood-light infused with the godly power of a King expert blasted through the air, violently scattering the clouds as it shot toward Lin Xun.

However, before the strike could land, Lin Xun had already fled on the Grand Universe Ark, using its unbelievable speed to easily avoid the attack of a King expert.

This stunned Gou Gui, leaving him in disbelief.

Although he was badly injured and could only exert less than ten percent of his usual power, that shouldnt be something that a Heaven Ascension youngster could avoid!

"How dare you try and leave, stay there!"

Indescribable rage surged in Gou Gui. How dare a worm provoke them? What dignity would he have left if he allowed this brat to escape?

Boom!

He ignored his injuries and rushed into the sky to give chase.

This was the confidence of a King expert. The power of a King stood far above the five great cultivation realms. The Kings dao was forged from the understanding of life and death, and even a dying King expert was an existence that not just anyone could disrespect!

Upon seeing Gou Gui pursue the target, Gou Dong could not help but grow anxious.

He quickly said, "Young Master, something strange about this situation. The target is clearly as crafty as a ghost and even managed to trick us previously. With him appearing all of a sudden and provoking us, Im afraid that there will be another trap awaiting us!"

Gou Xuxing also realized this. It was indeed very unusual for the target to flee almost immediately after appearing. Who knew what kind of deviousness he was up to?!

However, Gou Gui had rushed off too quickly for them to warn him.

"Don't worry, even though Lord Gou Gui is seriously injured, killing that guy will be as easy as slaughtering a chicken!"

Gou Xuxing took a deep breath as a cold sinister light shone in his green eyes, "A despicable and crafty worm like him doesn't understand at all what a King expert is!"

Gou Dong asked, "Young Master, what should we do?"

"Chase him!"

Gou Xuxing had a murderous expression. "If I dont personally witness him being executed, I will regret it forever!"

He rose into the air and flew away into the clouds.

Gou Dong and the other experts hurriedly followed.

Boom!

Dreadful blood-light was fired again and again, leveling mountain after mountain. Rocks and ancient trees were blasted to pieces while terrifying spatial cracks were left behind in the air.

The devastating attacks were from Gou Gui. He continuously bombarded Lin Xun, making every moment terrifying and filled with danger.

The Grand Universe Ark rushed through the skies like a thunderbolt, moving at a speed so fast that it broke the sound barrier. It could cross ten thousand feet in the blink of an eye.

However, it was still impossible to shake off Gou Gui.

After all, the old man was a King expert that stood at the apex of this world. He was unimaginably powerful and was still able to unleash terrifying power despite his heavy injuries.

"Little shit, this king is waiting to see what kind of sneaky schemes youre up to this time!"

Gou Gui wore an icy and cruel expression. Although his skin was still charred black and his clothes were in tatters, it didnt affect his overwhelming presence.

He had already seen through Lin Xun's intentions and knew that he had deliberately provoked him to lure him away.

However, Gou Gui was unafraid.

Unless the Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beast King somehow reappeared, Gou Gui could not imagine how a mere Heaven Ascension youngster could possibly do anything to him.

Hmm?

Gou Guis heart suddenly shivered. The Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beast King? Is this little bastard trying to do the same thing again and lead me back to the nameless mountain?

His expression turned uncertain. In the end, he gritted his teeth and released an earth-shaking roar.

Boom!

Endless blood-light erupted from his body as he transformed into a giant dog that was dozens of feet long and was covered in black, silk-like fur!

His eyes were akin to blood-colored lakes and his sharp fangs were snow-white. A tidal wave of bloody qi pulsed from his body, causing the sky to change color.

Black Nightmare Sky Dog!

In the ancient era, a single hiss from the Black Nightmare Sky Dogs ancestors could shatter the sky and cause stars to fall!

After transforming into his true body, Gou Guis King stage aura grew even more terrifying. He opened his giant blood-red mouth and breathed out ink-black flames that rapidly covered the sky and land.

Black Nightmare Fire!

It was rumored that this was a dreadful divine fire that could burn even the gods and was the strongest talent inheritance of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.

With a whoosh, Lin Xun dodged the flames with the Grand Universe Ark as a shocking hole was burned in the spot where he had been just moments ago.

Some embers of the Black Nightmare Fire scattered onto the ground, instantly turning an ancient forest to ashes!

It was a horrifying scene.

Lin Xun's heart shivered. The old dog was indeed quite terrifying. It was hard to believe that he could still wield such monstrous power despite his heavy injuries.

Boom!

Space rapidly collapsed as the giant black dog rampaged while giving off a divine blood-colored glow. He pounced at Lin Xun and blindly grabbed at him, the huge paw nearly blotting out the entire sky.

Danger bells blared in Lin Xuns head as he pushed the Grand Universe Ark to its limit. With a whoosh, it fled away at an unbelievable speed.

This surprised Gou Gui and made him frown. He could tell that Lin Xuns ship was no ordinary treasure and gave off a faint Saint dao aura.

A damaged Saint treasure?

No wonder he dares to provoke us...

A horrifying light shone from Gou Gui's eyes as he grew increasingly determined to not only kill Lin Xun but also seize that ship!

"Thankfully, that old dog is seriously injured. Otherwise, I wouldnt be able to escape no matter where I try to run...

An icy light surged in Lin Xuns eyes.

Meanwhile, Gou Gui was also feeling very frustrated. He would have long swatted the other party to death if he was at his full strength.

Instead, he was unable to make any headway even after so long which made him feel ashamed and furious.

He icily threatened, "You cant escape. This king will rip off my own head for you if you dont die today!"

"Heh, a dog's head is too hard and has too little meat. It would be horrible to eat. Lin Xuns chuckle sounded from the Grand Universe Ark.

Gou Guis face darkened, clearly triggered. Does this little shit actually think I cant deal with him?

Rumble!

He no longer cared about his injuries or wasting energy and rocketed forward at full speed.

A chase between the two parties ensued. They zipped through the vast wilderness, destroying swathes of mountains and forests along the way.

While Lin Xun silently tracked the time, he was surprised by how terrifying the old dog remained despite his grave injuries. Even until now, there was still no sign of his oppressive strength weakening.

Lin Xun had originally wanted to see how much strength the old dog had left before attempting to finish him off with the No-Nonsense Bow and Biluo Arrow as it would minimize the risk.

However, he had not anticipated that the old dog would still be so strong!

Lin Xun immediately realized that he had somewhat underestimated the terrifying strength of the King stage and that it was far beyond a Half-King experts power.

This was a true King!

Lin Xun had seen many powerful King experts such as Zhao Tailai, Zhao Xingye, and several others, but he had only witnessed them in action, after all, and not faced them in battle.

Lin Xun was finally realizing the true extent of a King experts terror. If Gou Gui was already so terrifying with such heavy injuries, how strong would he be at full power?

"Little shit! It looks like youre indeed out of tricks. Are you trying to use the Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beast King against this king again? How laughable!"

A bellow filled with disdain sounded from behind.

Only then did Lin Xun realize he had unknowingly returned to the vicinity of the nameless mountain and was fast approaching it.

This left him speechless. He had never thought of trying the same trick.

In fact, he strongly suspected that the Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beast King would go after him instead!

After all, he had stolen more than ten pounds of Golden Essence Jade Liquid and bullied the Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beasts youngling. How could it possibly let him off for such a huge offense, let alone allow itself to be used against the old dog?

Swish!

Lin Xun immediately braked. From atop the Grand Universe Ark, he watched Gou Gui rapidly approach from far away as he took out the No-Nonsense Bow and the Biluo Arrow.

The old dog should have used up a substantial amount of energy after that long chase. It was time to decide this!
