Chapter 829: Cunning
This change suddenly gave Duan Qing a bad feeling.
But at this time, he had already put the arrow on the string and had to shoot it. He could only deal with the star beast in front of him first.
Swish, swish, swish...!
Seeing that the Guiyan knife was about to hit the star beast's neck, the star beast's speed suddenly increased, and its body turned into a residual image, and it managed to avoid most of the Guiyan knives. Only a cut was made on the neck, which was not fatal.
The star beast completely ignored the wound on its neck and took a big step to attack Duan Qing.
Duan Qing frowned, and without saying a word, he immediately controlled the Guiyan knife to circle around the star beast again, and at the same time his body retreated violently.
Under Duan Qing's control, the 19 Guiyan knives were divided into three and quickly caught up with the star beast.
Two of the Guiyan knives shot directly at the star beast's legs, and almost simultaneously broke the star beast's legs at the knees.
The star beast lost its legs while running wildly and was about to fall to the ground.
However, before the star beast fell, Duan Qing's third Guiyan Knife shot accurately from the back of the star beast's neck.
Without any suspense, the star beast's head was directly cut off by the Guiyan Knife.
The star beast, which lost its head, stopped moving and fell to the ground with a bang.
Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, recalled the Guiyan Knife, and hurried forward to collect the remains of the star beast, and then chased after the fleeing star beast.
After just a short delay, the star beast that had advanced to the third level had already run hundreds of feet away.
Just as Duan Qing set out to chase, a black dragon suddenly broke out of the ground a few feet in front of the fleeing star beast, opened its bloody mouth, and bit the star beast head-on.
At such a close distance, and with the two approaching each other, the star beast didn't even have time to react, and was swallowed whole by the black dragon.
After the black dragon succeeded, it swung its body back and fled without any hesitation, at an astonishing speed.
The moment he saw the black dragon, Duan Qing immediately recognized it. The black dragon was Tang Tuo!
It turned out that the star beast was not running away, but was led away by Tang Tuo.
While Duan Qing was furious, he looked at Tang Tuo with a new eye.
Although he was entangled with a star beast just now, he never let down his guard and used all his senses to observe the surrounding situation.
But even in this situation, Tang Tuo still sneaked up on him!
This Tang Tuo's earth escape technique is quite tricky!
Even so, he did not intend to let Tang Tuo go. He directly used the Vermillion Bird Wing and other techniques to chase Tang Tuo with all his strength.
How could he give up a third-level star-breaking stone like this!
Duan Qing chased Tang Tuo with all his strength, and the distance between him and Tang Tuo gradually narrowed.
Having fought in the Immortal Dragon Secret Realm, he knew that Tang Tuo's speed was not as fast as his.
Soon, the distance between him and Tang Tuo was shortened from about a hundred feet to thirty or forty feet.
According to the current situation, he can definitely catch up with Tang Tuo within ten breaths.
However, at this moment, Duan Qing suddenly noticed that not far in front of Tang Tuo, on the only remaining land of the island, there was actually a narrow canyon extending into the endless sea in the distance.
Not good!
Duan Qing's face suddenly changed, and he immediately activated the Dou Zhuan Chi and exchanged positions with Tang Tuo.
Unexpectedly, Tang Tuo seemed to have been prepared. As soon as he exchanged positions with Duan Qing, he directly performed the earth escape technique and drilled into the ground.
Duan Qing's face was a little ugly, and he opened his senses with all his strength to search for Tang Tuo's traces.
After a few breaths, he finally sensed a trace of Tang Tuo's breath and turned his head to look at the canyon in front!
At this time, he heard a faint sound of entering the water in the canyon in front of him.
Hearing this movement, Duan Qing sighed helplessly.
In the end, Tang Tuo slipped away!
He knew very well that Tang Tuo would never escape from his palm on the ground or in the air.
However, once he was underwater, he was powerless.
Tang Tuo is a dragon, and he thrives in water like a fish.
On the contrary, his attribute is fire, and his means of acceleration, such as the wings of the red bird, can only play a limited role underwater, so he has no chance of catching up with Tang Tuo.
It must be said that Tang Tuo is a man of deep scheming.
It can be seen from the escape route he chose.
He first led the star beast away from him and Gongsun Long, then killed the star beast with lightning speed, and finally fled towards the canyon, using the waterway in the canyon to escape.
If you say that Tang Tuo was lucky and happened to encounter this canyon, he would never believe it.
He had clearly conducted a survey long ago, and only took decisive action to snatch the broken star stone after thinking of the retreat route.
He was careless!
If he had known this earlier, it would have been better to get rid of the third star beast when it was still at the first level.
But he also knew that anyone with a normal mind would not do such a thing.
Knowing in advance is priceless. Neither he nor Gongsun Long had the ability to predict the future. Who could have thought that Tang Tuo would take advantage of them?
Duan Qing sighed helplessly and flew back silently.
When he returned to the original place, Gongsun Long had already dealt with his star beast and was sitting cross-legged on a red stone waiting for him boredly.
"How was it, did you succeed?" Gongsun Long asked casually.
"He let him escape!" Duan Qing shook his head.
Gongsun Long was a little surprised: "That Tang guy is quite capable!"
"He had found an escape route earlier, and he tricked him!" Duan Qing looked helpless.
"Haha, Daoyou Duan, don't be depressed. We can each get a third-level broken star stone, which is already a great gain." Gongsun Long was in a good mood and comforted Duan Qing.
Duan Qing smiled faintly: "Daoyou Gongsun is right."
After that, Duan Qing said with relief: "Let's go, this is not a place to stay for long."
"Yes!" Gongsun Long nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave with Duan Qing.
At this moment, a faint light suddenly lit up on Gongsun Long's back.
As the light lit up, a figure appeared silently out of thin air more than ten feet away from Gongsun Long.
The man was tall, with disheveled hair, bloody wounds all over his body, and even his left hand was cut off at the shoulder, looking extremely embarrassed.
Duan Qing, who was about to leave, glanced at the figure that suddenly appeared on Gongsun Long's side, and his face suddenly changed.
The man was Lu Gong pretending to be Gongsun Long!
How could Lu Gong appear here?
Wasn't he entangled by Meng Zhuang?
Could it be that this person killed Meng Zhuang and then chased him!
How could this person be Meng Zhuang's opponent!
What's going on!
After Lu Gong appeared, he looked around and saw the red gravel all over the ground and the corpse of the star beast under Gongsun Long's feet. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Haha, the luck of you two ants is really extraordinary!" Lu Gong sneered as he walked towards the two of them.
When Gongsun Long saw Lu Gong, he felt his scalp tingling and cold sweat running down his back. He shivered and said, "Zong... no, no, Lu... Elder Lu!"
