Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1421: Of the 36 Stratagems, Evading Is Best

"What else can I do to her? She's a woman full of poison. I just skinned one of her snakes and swallowed its gallbladder, and she acts like she's lost a husband."

Li Nianqing blinked.

"The snake you're talking about wouldn't happen to be the Chi Lian snake, with a cockscomb on its head and blood-red scales all over, would it?"

"Exactly."

Li Feng nodded.

Li Nianqing was at a loss for words. That Chi Lian snake is the Holy Beast of the Myriad Poison Sect, and only the Holy Daughter can obtain a Red Training Snake Egg. It's a symbol of her status.

You killed the Chi Lian snake; it's no wonder people are coming after you with a vengeance.

"This is trouble; I can still resist You Yue's mind control, but this Jiuying's insect swarm—I can't handle that."

Li Nianqing excelled in Spiritual Element Power, but was lacking in other areas. The insect swarm controlled by Jiuying blocked out the sky and the sun, making anyone feel their scalp tingle.

"The only plan now is to use our last resort."

"What?"

Li Nianqing turned to look at Li Feng.

"Of all the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is best."

"Run."

Li Feng said earnestly, while Li Nianqing rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think we can run now? Ahead is a sheer cliff, impossible to climb, and the other three sides are primeval forests, which are a haven for insect swarms."

"Hmmph, if I say it's possible, then it is. Get on."

Li Feng stepped forward and crouched down.

"What are you doing?"

Li Nianqing looked at Li Feng's action, wondering if he meant for her to get on his back so he could carry her.

Li Feng turned his head and said, "Isn't it obvious? I'm carrying you to escape."

"No need, I have legs."

Li Nianqing flatly refused, but Li Feng solemnly replied, "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm trying to take advantage of you?"

"Please, we're at risk of life and death here. I don't have the leisure for such thoughts."

"When we escape later, I can't look after you against the all-pervasive insect swarm, and if you're attacked, how could you defend me from being entranced by them?"

"Hurry up, there's no time to waste."

Li Feng looked towards the jungle. The insect swarm, as dense as dark clouds, was already swarming towards them.

Li Nianqing felt her scalp tingle and didn't hesitate any longer. She leapt onto Li Feng's back in a swift motion.

"Hold onto me like an octopus."

Li Feng said as he supported Li Nianqing. Her face flushed, she had no choice but to wrap her legs around Li Feng's waist, clinging to his back like an octopus.

In the next second, his domineering aura erupted, a layer of blood flames enveloping him. Then, with a light push off the ground, Li Feng shot through the forest like an arrow from a bowstring.

Trying to run.

Jiuying looked at Li Feng, carrying Li Nianqing and breaking into a run. The sound of the jade flute filled the air, and the insect swarm in the sky formed a formation, like giant pincers closing in on Li Feng.

Li Feng didn't pay any attention to the swarming insects on his sides and charged forward with his head down. His only thought right now was to run, as far and fast as possible.

In the next second.

Li Feng plunged headlong into the dense swarm ahead, the blood flames incinerating everything in their path, and continued to charge forward through the swarm.

At this moment, the swarming insects from the sides closed in, while Li Feng leapt forward, causing the insect swarms to crash into each other.

Li Feng avoided the pincer, but in the next second, a swarm above descended like a dark waterfall pressing down.

Li Feng dropped to the ground, and the surrounding swarm closed in rapidly, forming a mountain of insects in an instant.

"Die!"

Jiuying muttered through clenched teeth.

But just then.

The mountain of insects suddenly burst out with a flash of blood-red light, followed by waves of blood-colored domineering power mixed with flames erupting skyward like a volcanic explosion.

In an instant, countless insects were reduced to dust. Li Feng felt slightly hollowed out, but he didn't stop for even a second, lunging straight into the forest ahead.

"Trying to escape."

Jiuying couldn't believe they could still escape, and was furious, once again directing the swarm after the fleeing Li Feng.

However, Li Feng's last blow had annihilated countless insects, and even though this was a primeval forest, the swarms within a several-mile radius were wiped out.

You Yue watched Li Feng escape with a gloomy face but didn't recklessly pursue, as Li Nianqing's abilities precisely countered her.

Though filled with grief and rage, wanting to skin Li Feng alive, she remained rational.

"Lin Family Lin Changge, I'll remember you, and make sure the Lin Family pays in blood."

Achoo.

Thousands of miles away, in a training base on the Lijia State lands, Lin Changge sneezed. He longed to go home.

This place was no place for humans, but he couldn't run away because it was Lijia State, and he didn't even know if he could survive outside the base.

Li Feng ran nonstop, covering four to five miles in one breath. Jiuying, although capable of controlling the swarm, had a limited range, and the swarm behind them dispersed without the sound of the insect flute.

But Li Feng didn't stop, knowing who else might be lurking in the Mo Yin Sect. If it came to one-on-one combat, Li Feng would be fearless, but in greater numbers, even he couldn't handle it.

As for reinforcements.

It was just about bluffing the opponent; if even he believed it, that'd be foolish.

Li Feng kept running more than ten miles before stopping slightly out of breath: "Hey, is my back that comfortable? Did you fall asleep?"

"Pah, you're the one who's asleep."

Li Nianqing let go of his legs and jumped off Li Feng's back, her face flushed: "Where did you run to?"

"Who knows, but we're at least twenty miles from where we were. They probably won't catch up."

Li Feng leaned against a big tree, catching his breath, and looked at the flushed Li Nianqing.

Li Nianqing noticed Li Feng's gaze and took several deep breaths to calm herself before changing the subject.

"Do you think they'll believe it?"

Li Feng shrugged and said, "I've done all I can. As for whether they believe it or not, I can't guarantee."

"But if it were me, I'd rather believe it."

"Oh?"

"The Demon Path has always been sneaky, used to hiding in the shadows. This bold action is a risky move even in military terms."

"This time, they must have mobilized their elites, if not their entire Mo Yin Sect. They can't afford such losses."

Whether it's the Ancient Martial Righteous Path or Demon Path, they are all cultivators, and their numbers are incredibly limited. Among the billions in Yan Country, not even one in a thousand are cultivators.

Among them, the Ancient Martial Righteous Path accounts for seventy to eighty percent. The rest are loose cultivators or wild cultivators, leaving only a fraction as Demon Path followers.

The Demon Path followers are even more precious than those of the Righteous Path.

Li Feng reckoned the opponents wouldn't dare gamble.

Li Nianqing nodded, "Now I just hope they fall for it." Li Nianqing sighed, as there was little else she could do even if she risked it all. She could only hope Li Feng's plan worked.

Perhaps it could leave something behind for Mo Yin Sect, preventing it from being completely wiped out.
