Chapter 206 Chased by a Dao King

Looking at the purple cloud of smoke that had completely surrounded them, a determined expression appeared in Xue Zhilan's face, as he took out a yellow-colored talisman from his spatial ring.

Hao Ping's eyes lit up when he saw the talisman in Xue Zhilan's hands. He knew that Xue Zhilan had spent more than 20.000 middle-grade spirit stones in the past, in order to purchase this talisman from a rank 2 gold grade formation master.

The talisman itself contained a full-powered blow from a peak rank 3 Dao King realm expert, and could cut through anything in its path.

Sending his qi inside the yellow talisman, Xue Zhilan turned to look at Hao Ping, as he said in a commanding tone

''Go!''

A powerful yellow qi then erupted from the talisman, and moved towards the purple wave of smoke that had surrounded Xue Zhilan and Hao Ping.

Zhong Biya had been utterly horrified when she saw the yellow-colored slash moving towards her.

Although her body had turned into smoke, as long as the Dao King who had sealed his power inside the talisman was stronger than her, she would still suffer heavy injuries.

Without a moment's hesitation, the red-haired Elder of the Blood Moon sect instantly opened a large path inside the smoke for the attack of the talisman to pass through.

The purple smoke seemed as if it had been cut in half for a moment, while the long-haired Hao Ping immediately took advantage of it and escaped from Zhong Biya's entrapment.

Without any hesitation, his body shot through the sky as he gave chase to the black panther.

Xue Zhilan exhaled in relief when he saw that Hao Ping had successfully escaped and chased after the black panther.

Although he and Hao Ping were both slightly stronger than Zhong Biya, they would have been delayed for at least a few breaths of time until they managed to break through her entrapment.

Even if they killed Zhong Biya then, they would still be unable to catch the 'Silver-winged panther king'.

In addition, although Xue Zhilan was stronger than Hao Ping, he had no confidence in catching up with the black panther's speed by himself.

But Hao Ping was different!

Zhong Biya didn't seem to care that the long-haired Hao Ping had escaped, while the purple smoke continued to surround Xue Zhilan.

If Shun Long managed to escape, then Xue Zhilan would be done for, but if he didn't, Xue Zhilan still couldn't do anything to the Blood Moon sect by himself.

Unless he revealed to the rest of the 'Mercenaries' Association' the reason that he wanted to take revenge, it was extremely unlikely that the higher echelons of the association would agree to help him.

Since he had refused to give her the slightest bit of face, Zhong Biya was determined to make the old man in front of her regret his words!

At the same time, Shun Long and Liu Mei were flying away on the black panther's back, when Liu Mei finally asked anxiously

''Long-ge! Are we going to be okay? These people earlier were definitely Dao Kings.''

Shun Long turned his head around, and looking at the anxious Liu Mei he said with a slight smile on his face

''Don't worry! Although they are indeed Dao Kings, they still won't be able to do anything. After all, I knew that they were tailing us, even before we left the Heaven's Dome city.''

Liu Mei heaved out in relief when she heard this, when a booming sound was suddenly heard from the sky behind them, as a streak of lightning could be seen flying towards the black panther at extreme speed.

When Shun Long saw that the bolt of lightning was quickly closing the distance between them, he had the black panther to stop holding back any longer and fly at full speed.

The panther's wings then shone with a silver light, as his speed immediately doubled.

Hao Ping who had turned into a streak of lightning smirked inwardly, while his own speed shot up as well.

No matter how fast the black panther moved, Hao Ping was slowly closing the distance between them.

Once the distance between them was reduced to less than 3 miles, a long, thin sword had appeared in Hao Ping's hands, and looking at the black panther ahead of him, Hao Ping had an evil smile on his face, as he infused his qi inside his sword, before he sent a powerful slash cutting through the air.

The slash tore apart the clouds, as it flew towards the black panther's back.

The panther's wings shone even brighter, as it agilely moved to the side and avoided the Dao King's attack.

The chase continued like this for more than an hour, until the 'Silver-winged panther king' stopped when he arrived above a large forest.

Seeing that the panther had finally stopped running away, a confident smile appeared in Hao Ping's face, and looking at Shun Long and Liu Mei he said

''Do you finally understand how pointless it was, to try and escape from me?

However, I have to say, that you brats really are unlucky! If you had met any other Dao King at the middle of rank 2, then you could have probably escaped. It's too bad that you had to meet with me.''

Seeing that Hao Ping was blowing his own horn, Shun Long had a mocking look on his face as he responded with a smile

''Old man, the truth is, that I knew that you were tailing us even before we left the Heaven's Dome city. And yet, I still chose to leave, even though I knew that 2 Dao Kings were chasing after us. Don't you want to know why?''

A shocked expression flashed through Hao Ping's face when he saw the confident look in Shun Long's eyes, but his expression quickly turned into one of mockery, as he slowly walked towards him and said

''Stop bluffing brat! Who are you trying to fool?

Even a middle-stage Dao King wouldn't be able to spot mine and old Zhilan's soul sense, without us noticing him in return!''

Hao Ping looked at the black panther who had taken a defensive position in front of Shun Long, and with a smile on his face, he held his sword in his hand, as he slowly walked towards it.

The moment that Hao Ping was just 100 meters away from Shun Long, the 'Silver-winged panther king' exploded with all of its strength, as it spread its wings and flew towards the long-haired man in front of it.

Seeing that the panther was flying at him with open jaws, Hao Ping took on a defensive stance, as he used his sword to parry the panther's teeth.

Although the panther had pushed him a step back, Hao Ping easily blocked the attack.

However, just as his feet were about to kick the panther's ribs, the SSS-rank mercenary felt a sudden pain on his back and chest.

Instinctively, he lowered his head to look at his chest, where a gigantic pitch-black claw was now protruding from it.
