Shoo, shoo, shoo!
One after another, the sounds of breaking air resounded.
From Dou Shi to Dou Huang, the moment the Great Protection Formation shattered, almost everyone chose a path and charged inside. However, it was clearly visible that the speed of the several Dou Huang was the fastest, having long since left the others far behind.
The Dou Wang experts following them were not slow either. After all, once one reaches the Dou Wang realm, they can unfold Dou Qi Wings. Those running on legs simply cannot catch up with those who fly.
The Dou Ling who followed were a bit faster than the Da Dou Shi, but they hadn't pulled away a definitive gap. Thus, at this moment, with people flying in the sky and running on the ground, everyone swarmed into this Secret Realm.
As a Dou Wang expert in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Lin's speed was naturally not slow.
Although he had not yet caught up with the first tier of Dou Wangs, he could overtake them in minutes if he wished; there was just no necessity for it at the moment. Xiao Lin did not believe that the central area of a Secret Realm would be left without any protective measures!
It was perfect to let those Dou Huang go and trip the mines first.
His time to appear would come later.
For now, Xiao Lin decided to scavenge the surrounding area first. However, because the cultivation Xiao Lin exposed was only that of a One-Star Dou Wang, he had already been targeted by a Five-Star Dou Wang expert from the Luo Yan Empire.
Of course, Xiao Lin had also noticed the other party. But if the opponent didn't come to cause trouble, he would let it be; if they truly dared to snatch things from him, Xiao Lin would absolutely make them vanish without a sound!
Yan Bohong was a Dou Wang expert from the Luo Yan Empire's Imperial Family, and he had already reached the Five-Star level!
As a veteran Dou Wang who had been promoted for over thirty years and a member of the Imperial Family, he understood the relationship between the Luo Yan Empire and the Jia Ma Empire all too well.
It was no exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two countries was no better than that between the Jia Ma Empire and the Chu Yun Empire.
During the recent war between the Jia Ma Empire and the Chu Yun Empire, he had actually suggested that his Emperor send troops to the Jia Ma Empire.
Unfortunately, at that time, his own ancestor wanted to continue watching the show, letting the Jia Ma and Chu Yun Empires suffer mutual losses before the Luo Yan Empire entered the stage.
To his surprise, after the Jia Ma and Chu Yun Empires each lost a Dou Wang expert, they suddenly announced a ceasefire. This left Yan Bohong full of regret. In his view, if the Luo Yan Empire had intervened then, they could have certainly bitten off a large piece of profit from the Jia Ma Empire.
However, there was no way to redo the past, and the Luo Yan Empire had missed that opportunity. From this, one could see that as a member of the Imperial Family, Yan Bohong held deep hostility toward the Jia Ma Empire.
Unlike others from the Luo Yan Empire who came to this Secret Realm seeking resources and opportunities, his purpose for coming here was to find a chance to assassinate the younger generation of the Jia Ma Empire!
Lo and behold, he had now discovered a young Dou Wang expert from the Jia Ma Empire. Looking at the other's appearance, he couldn't possibly be over thirty years old, yet he already possessed the cultivation of a One-Star Dou Wang!
In Yan Bohong's eyes, this person would definitely be a major threat to the Luo Yan Empire in the future!
Therefore, Yan Bohong had locked onto him early on. Once he found an opportunity, he would kill him without hesitation, turning this Secret Realm into the man's burial ground!
The person Yan Bohong was targeting was none other than Xiao Lin!
It could only be said that the ignorant are fearless!
When the King of Hell wants you dead at the third watch, he won't keep you until the fifth!
As for the others, seeing two Dou Wang experts choosing the same path, they all avoided this route. This Secret Realm was so large; were they out of their minds to compete with two Dou Wangs?
So, at this moment, the people who had originally chosen this path basically chose to detour. In Yan Bohong's eyes, this became even more of an opportunity!
"It seems even Heaven doesn't want to keep you! If you must blame something, blame your bad luck for running into me!"
With a grim smile, Yan Bohong flapped the pair of cyan Dou Qi wings on his back and rapidly closed in on Xiao Lin's direction.
"Seeking death? It seems I can only fulfill his wish."
Upon noticing Yan Bohong accelerating to approach him, the corner of Xiao Lin's mouth curled into a mocking arc, yet he continued to fly forward at an unhurried pace.
Meanwhile, the distance between Yan Bohong and Xiao Lin was constantly shortening. Just as Xiao Lin discovered a well-preserved building and stopped his figure, Yan Bohong's silhouette flashed and blocked his path.
"Tracking me for so long, why bother?" Xiao Lin said, spreading his hands with a casual expression.
"Hehe, since you knew I was tracking you, yet you didn't choose to regroup with your companions for self-preservation, should I say you are confident in your strength, or that you don't take me seriously?"
"You don't think that with your One-Star Dou Wang strength, you can contend with me, do you?" Yan Bohong looked at Xiao Lin mockingly and asked.
However, seeing Xiao Lin's fearless expression, for some reason, a sense of unease grew in his heart. At first, he thought there might be an ambush nearby or someone chasing from behind. But soon, he found there was nothing!
This allowed him to gradually set aside the unease deep within him.
A Five-Star Dou Wang against a One-Star Dou Wang; no matter how you looked at it, the advantage was on his side, right?
"Hmm? You came for me, not for the resources in this Secret Realm?" At this time, Xiao Lin also noticed something wrong.
Reasonably speaking, whether it was the Luo Yan Empire or the Jia Ma Empire, both sides prioritized the resources here.
If one side chose not to compete, the other side generally wouldn't go out of their way to make things difficult. But after this Five-Star Dou Wang from the Luo Yan Empire blocked him, what was with that flash of killing intent in his eyes?
Although Xiao Lin had no intention of giving up the resources in the building nearby, if no one competed with him, he wouldn't go around killing people randomly. But what was the deal with this Luo Yan Empire Dou Wang?
He came to kill him, not for the resources?
Even though Xiao Lin didn't care what the other's purpose was, the fact that the target was placed on him truly made Xiao Lin feel a bit surprised. Could it be that he had a grudge with this person at some point?
However, Xiao Lin was certain, searching through all his memories, that this was the first time he had met the man! So, the question was, why did the other party want to kill him?
Soon, Xiao Lin got the answer from the mouth of this Luo Yan Empire Dou Wang.
"Hmph, that's right. I don't care about the resources in this Secret Realm; my ancestor will compete for those. The reason I chose to come to this Secret Realm was to eliminate the younger generation of your Jia Ma Empire. Do you understand now?"
Perhaps in Yan Bohong's eyes, Xiao Lin was already a dead man, so he spoke without any scruples.
Xiao Lin: "..."
After hearing the explanation, Xiao Lin fell silent.
It turned out he had encountered a lunatic who mindlessly hated anyone from the Jia Ma Empire!
Then there was nothing left to say.
"Die! Flying Swallow Slash!"
Yan Bohong, who was already prepared to continue hunting down isolated Jia Ma Empire experts after killing Xiao Lin, immediately opened with a High-level Xuan Grade Dou Technique.
The next moment, a cyan Dou Qi slash formed in front of Yan Bohong and rapidly cleaved down toward Xiao Lin.
Looking at its momentum, Yan Bohong intended to slice Xiao Lin directly in half. However, in the next second, what happened before his eyes nearly made Yan Bohong's eyes pop out of their sockets.
He saw Xiao Lin reach out his right hand and make a grasping motion toward the space in front of him. Instantly, a large hand entirely formed of Dou Qi directly grabbed the cyan Dou Qi slash sent out by Yan Bohong.
This wasn't any Dou Technique; it was purely Xiao Lin's control over Dou Qi.
"How... how is this possible? You are not a One-Star Dou Wang!"
Seeing this scene, how could Yan Bohong not know he had kicked a steel plate!
No wonder he had felt a sense of unease at the beginning; it turned out the source of it all was this man he wanted to hunt!
Seeing his strongest strike easily broken by the opponent, Yan Bohong did not hesitate. He immediately unfolded his cyan Dou Qi wings, wanting to fly away into the distance.
But would Xiao Lin give him that chance? The answer was obviously no.
Just as Yan Bohong had flown less than a hundred meters away, Xiao Lin pointed a finger at him while calmly saying: "Since you've come, then stay. God-Slaying Finger!"
As Yan Bohong looked back, he saw a flash of dazzling light, and then he lost all consciousness.
Five-Star Dou Wang Yan Bohong, fallen!
