"Do you still think you can run?" Li Lin's feet flashed with true qi, and in an instant, he was in front of the young Grey Robe Quadruple Spirit Master who was trying to escape. It's not easy to encounter a Spirit Master.

"Chi..." The Spirit Master's expression was one of great shock, but then a spirit fire rose in his hand, the blazing flames wrapping towards Li Lin.

"You're still lacking a bit." Li Lin smiled slightly, his hand forming a seal, and a spirit fire surged out in front of him as well. The two spirit fires collided in the air and instantly disappeared without a trace.

"You're a spirit practitioner too, how could you possibly..."

The words of the Quadruple Spirit Master were cut off as a claw mark was already fastened on his Baihui acupoint, a violent devouring force instantly drilling into his head.

"Ah..."

After a scream, the body of the Quadruple Spirit Master instantly turned into a mummy.

At this moment, the remaining martial artists were all devoured by the little dragon, and this mummy was also unceremoniously turned into a snack by the little dragon.

"Roar roar..."

In the distant sky, a huge roar came, and Li Lin's face changed instantly. This sound was that of the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao.

"Little dragon, let's run." Li Lin's feet flashed with true qi again, and he fled in embarrassment. He could ignore these martial artists, but facing the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, he would be the one ignored.

Fleeing all the way, with the help of the wind attribute, his speed was not slow. Although capable of flying, and also having the Winged Snow Lion, Li Lin dared not to fly into the mid-air. Without the cover of these dense towering trees and mountain ranges, it would basically be impossible for him to escape.

Thus, he fled for an entire day. Along the way, he encountered several mercenary groups intending to make a move on Li Lin, but their speed was not as fast as Li Lin's, so they could only give up. Li Lin also had no leisure or time to deal with these mercenary groups; escaping for his life was more important.

Within a canyon, Li Lin stood gasping for breath. This kind of escape was also in dire need of true qi consumption.

Looking around, Li Lin patted the space beast pouch in his hand, and the Winged Snow Lion appeared again in the sky above the canyon.

"Snow Lion, let's go." Li Lin jumped onto the Winged Snow Lion, and behind him, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao seemed to have not caught up again. Maybe they could take this opportunity to shake off the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao.

The Winged Snow Lion flapped its wings and took off like lightning. On the back of the Winged Snow Lion, Li Lin looked back and really didn't see the figure of the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao anymore. He then began to confidently refine the spiritual power energy he had devoured. The spiritual power of the Quadruple Spirit Master was somewhat weak for Li Lin's current cultivation, but after refining it all, he had only moved from the edge of the Seventh Layer Spirit Master to about the middle stage.

Two days later, Li Lin slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking ahead, he should now be in the middle of the Misty City Mountain Range, probably having covered half the distance.

"Boss, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao is chasing us again." The little dragon looked back at the sky behind them, only to see a crimson figure rapidly chasing from the distant sky.

"Ow... Damned human, you can't run away, you've angered me, I must tear you to pieces." In the sky behind, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao roared.

"Damn, how relentless. Snow Lion, let's go down." Li Lin's face suddenly changed, and after cursing, he let the Winged Snow Lion plunge into the mountain range again.

"Human, you can't escape." The Nine-Headed Demon Jiao roared.

"Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, remember this, Your Lordship will settle accounts with you one day." After Li Lin spoke, he and the Winged Snow Lion rushed into the mountain range below.

Ten days later, on a valley in the Misty City Mountain Range, the figure of the Winged Snow Lion leaped into the sky again. On the back of the Winged Snow Lion, Li Lin was somewhat embarrassed. In these ten days, in order to shake off the pursuit of the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, he had suffered quite a bit. However, during these ten days, Li Lin was not idle and took the opportunity to devour three martial artists: a Six-Layer Martial Artist, a Three-Layer Martial Artist, and the highest level was a Seven-Layer Martial Artist. In terms of martial cultivation levels, it seemed he was not far from the Ninth Layer now.

"Blood Lizard, how can the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao always find me?" Li Lin called out the Blood Lizard from the space beast pouch. It had been almost twenty days, and the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao had been able to follow him closely, like a shadow, making Li Lin very puzzled.

"Master, in this Misty City Mountain Range, all the demon beasts and wild beasts are the eyes and ears of the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, so the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao can easily find you." The Blood Lizard said.

"So, that's how it is." Li Lin's heart sank. It seemed that he could not escape the pursuit of the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao and had to think of another way.

"Master, we should be close to leaving the Misty City Mountain Range. Once we leave the Misty City Mountain Range, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao will not chase after us anymore." The Blood Lizard said again.

"Oh, why is that?" Li Lin was a bit puzzled.

"On human territories, we demon beasts dare not trespass recklessly, as it is easy to provoke the intervention of human powerhouses." The Blood Lizard said.

"Boss, look, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao is catching up again, relentlessly." The little dragon looked up at the sky behind, and the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao appeared again in the sky behind.

"Human, I told you, you can't run away." The Nine-Headed Demon Jiao roared from behind.

"Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, next time I will skin you and pull out your tendons." Li Lin shouted loudly.

"Little human, you don't have the strength for that. I'll skin you first." The Nine-Headed Demon Jiao chased rapidly, roaring all the way.

"If you have the guts, come on, let's see how you can catch me." Li Lin coldly spoke, once again having no choice but to dive into the Misty City Mountain Range. In mid-air, it was simply impossible to shake off the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao.

"Ow..."

"Damned human, if you dare, don't run." The Nine-Headed Demon Jiao roared angrily, becoming even more enraged as it saw Li Lin rushing into the mountain range again. Inside the mountain range, it was not easy for it to find people; otherwise, it would have caught up to that damned human long ago.

In the Misty City Mountain Range, where some mercenary groups are stationed, it has recently been rumored that the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao is desperately chasing a human. No one knows what this human has done to provoke such fury from the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao.

Everyone is guessing who could have provoked the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao. Anyone who can escape from the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao must be a powerful individual indeed.

Meanwhile, Li Lin is still fleeing within the Misty City Mountain Range, looking quite embarrassed. Fortunately, he has become familiar with how to escape from the pursuit of the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao. As long as he keeps zigzagging within the Misty City Mountain Range, it won't be easy for the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao to find him.

During these days, Li Lin feels that his greatest gain has been the significant increase in his speed, a skill honed through the life-and-death escape, which counts as an unexpected gain.

Ten days later, after seizing the opportunity to devour an unfortunate Six-Layer Martial Artist, Li Lin once again rides the Winged Snow Lion into the sky. Having understood the temperament and speed of the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, Li Lin is no longer too worried. After all, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao cannot catch up with him, and he can do whatever he needs to, though he has to hide in the forested mountain range every now and then.

"Bang..."

On the back of the Winged Snow Lion, a muffled sound spread from within Li Lin's Dantian Qi Sea, and his aura began to rapidly climb. Despite the embarrassment of the escape, he did not forget to cultivate and finally broke through to the level of a Nine-Layer Martial Artist.

Taking a deep breath, Li Lin opened his eyes and looked at the massive figure thousands of meters behind him. He smiled slightly and said loudly, "Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, ahead is the territory of humans. If you chase any further, the strong among humans will not let you go."

"Even if it's on the territory of humans, I will not let you go." The Nine-Headed Demon Jiao was truly enraged, having chased the human in front of it for over a month without success, almost driving it to madness. Its eyes gleamed fiercely, wishing it could immediately rush over and tear Li Lin apart.

"Hmph." Li Lin snorted coldly, his body radiating a chilling aura as he said, "Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, the next time this young master returns to the ancient domain, I will surely skin you and pull out your tendons."

"Master, ahead is Misty City," the Blood Lizard said by Li Lin's side.

In the distance below, beneath a layer of thin clouds, a series of continuous buildings appeared, a not-so-small city in sight.

"Finally, Misty City." Li Lin felt relieved. In Misty City, even if the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao followed, he would not be afraid. The Nine-Headed Demon Jiao could only track him through the demon beasts and wild animals within the Misty City Mountain Range. Inside Misty City, it would be much easier for him to shake off the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao.

"Snow Lion, let's go down," Li Lin said to the Winged Snow Lion.

"Human, I'll see where you can run." Seeing the human in front of it about to leave the Misty City Mountain Range, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao roared, its body radiating a bright red light, probably using some of its trump cards, and its speed increased significantly, from three thousand meters to two thousand eight hundred meters, getting faster and faster.

"Ga ga..."

At the edge of the Misty City Mountain Range, three flying demon beasts roared into the sky, three second-tier flying demon beasts, with five youths standing on the back of each.

"Stop, the person ahead, flying demon beasts are not allowed to fly over Misty City without registration," a loud shout came. The dozen or so youths currently watching the rapidly approaching Winged Snow Lion were surprised, as the three second-tier flying demon beasts felt the aura of the Winged Snow Lion and began to tremble.

"Are you disciples of Yunyang Sect?" Li Lin looked at the dozen or so youths in front of him and said.

"Indeed, we are from Yunyang Sect," a youth at the martial artist level replied.
