Xie Liheng was furious when he heard Ling Tian say this over the phone.
"Ling Tian, if it's too difficult, don't pursue him. As I said, I don't care if he's alive or dead, it's best if he's dead!
But your safety is the most important thing!
I don't want you to get hurt because you're chasing after some crooked path practitioner!"
"Uncle Xie, I can't let him escape. This guy actually ran into our Wang family mansion to kill me and injured many people!
If such a dangerous person isn't eliminated, I'm afraid the Wang family members won't be able to sleep soundly from now on."
Ling Tian said this, but his feet didn't slow down at all. He was moving incredibly fast, almost leaving a blur in his wake.
"Alright, be careful. We'll be there soon!"
As Ling Tian's thoughts flickered, his phone and Bluetooth headset returned to the spirit realm space.
Meanwhile, the crooked path practitioner in front of Ling Tian, Ghost Hand Yue Nanshan, had already run more than ten kilometers.
After the intense fight and the desperate chase, his stamina was completely depleted.
Yue Nanshan hid his body behind a large tree, panting heavily, his tongue hanging out like a dog's. He cautiously peeked his head out to see if any pursuers were following him.
After straining his neck to look for over ten minutes, he saw no one behind him. He couldn't even hear any footsteps.
"Ah, that was truly dangerous," Ghost Hand Yue Nanshan muttered, collapsing onto the ground. He casually took out a pair of gloves and put them on.
Although he had cultivated poison arts for many years and dealt with these poisons daily, he was well aware that if he ingested these poisons, he would have no place to be buried.
Just then, a mocking voice suddenly came from above.
"Run, why aren't you running anymore?"
The sudden voice made Yue Nanshan tremble all over.
He sprang forward a few meters, turned around, and then saw Ling Tian squatting on a large tree several meters behind him, smiling at him.
"You... you you..." Yue Nanshan was so startled that he stammered, his lips quivering.
"What about me? I don't eat people.
However, I think we need to have a talk. You need to tell me who sent you to kill me!
If your answer satisfies me..."
"Then you'll let me go?"
"No, I'll leave you with an intact corpse!"
"You're asking for death!"
Who was Yue Nanshan? He was a crooked path practitioner with a violent temper. Ling Tian's provocation instantly ignited his rage.
He had rested for a while, recovered some strength, and then spread his arms, charging directly at the tree where Ling Tian was.
Yue Nanshan leaped into the air, jumping more than a meter high. He then kicked the tree trunk fiercely with both feet, using the rebound force to propel himself upwards and pounce at Ling Tian on the branch.
Ling Tian didn't dodge. He was waiting. Only when Yue Nanshan's body appeared before him did he make his move!
Ling Tian mobilized all the vital energy in his body. His fire-attribute true essence condensed in his right hand.
Ling Tian raised his right hand and chopped down. At this moment, Ling Tian's right hand looked like a red-hot crab.
"Flame Blade!"
Yue Nanshan's body was still halfway up in the air, in a position where it was difficult to gain leverage. Just then, Ling Tian's hand blade descended.
Seeing this, Yue Nanshan certainly wouldn't let himself be slaughtered. He quickly extended his hand, transforming it into a claw, and directly grabbed for Ling Tian's hand.
In his eyes, this was a rare opportunity to turn the tables. The martial arts of the Ghost King Sect not only included the Five Poisons Heart-Piercing Palm but also a technique called the Five Poisons Claw!
Ling Tian was attacking him with a hand blade, which played right into his hands. As long as he caught Ling Tian's palm with his claw, Ling Tian's hand would likely be crippled.
However, when his hand touched Ling Tian's palm, before he could even exert force to grab, he felt something was wrong. His hand seemed to have grasped a red-hot iron block!
Immense heat emanated from Ling Tian's hand, scorching Yue Nanshan's skin, which crackled and even emitted a burnt smell.
Even more critically, the Yin poison internal energy on Yue Nanshan's palm was completely burned away by the scorching internal energy from Ling Tian's hand before it could even be released!
"Ah!"
Yue Nanshan cried out in mid-air. At the same time, the upward momentum of his body was nullified.
Before he could react, he heard the sound of wind, and a blue stone brick appeared before him!
"Crack!"
Ling Tian held a brick in his other hand. This brick was top-notch, a blue brick, its hardness and weight far exceeding ordinary red bricks.
Ling Tian's spirit realm space already contained dozens of bricks of various sizes. He would collect them whenever he encountered them while walking outside.
As a result, this brick landed squarely on Yue Nanshan's face!
The blow was incredibly fierce. Yue Nanshan screamed and fell from the nearly 4-meter-high tree, landing on his back. This fall almost knocked the wind out of him!
In a flash, Ling Tian's body swooped down like a great bird, his feet targeting Yue Nanshan's knees.
When he was still more than a meter above the ground, Ling Tian suddenly executed a Thousand Jin Drop. His body's weight seemed to increase several times, and his feet stomped down hard on Yue Nanshan's knees.
"Crack! Crack!"
"Ah!"
Yue Nanshan, who had almost fainted from the fall, now cried out in agony.
Ling Tian then raised his hand and inserted several silver needles deep into Yue Nanshan's body. His body was now completely immobilized.
"Ugh... Ah..."
"It hurts, doesn't it? Do you want to die a quick death? Then obediently tell me who sent you!"
"You can forget about it. Even if I die, I won't tell you. I want you to live the rest of your life in pain and vigilance!"
Although his voice was weak, Yue Nanshan still hurled this harsh threat at Ling Tian.
